Saudi Arabia firmly stated on February 5, 2025, that it opposes the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and that it will not normalize relations with Israel until a Palestinian state is established. As Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has stated in earlier remarks, the Kingdom's stance is firm and non-negotiable, the Saudi foreign ministry underlined.
The Saudi Council of Ministers recently voiced strong support for the safe repatriation of displaced Palestinians to their homes in Gaza during a Cabinet meeting presided over by the Crown Prince. Salman Al-Dossary, the minister of media, emphasized that the Cabinet supported a united statement from an Arab ministerial meeting that vehemently opposed any Palestinians being forcibly displaced. A sustainable truce and unhindered humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza are essential, the statement emphasized.
Saudi Arabia will not open diplomatic ties with Israel until a Palestinian state is established, with East Jerusalem serving as its capital, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has repeatedly stated.
In response to statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump that the United States will occupy Gaza and relocate Palestinians to other nations, the Saudi kingdom has taken action.
