Saudi Arabia's great stances in support of the Palestinian cause
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Prime Minister, did not rest on its laurels after the significant successes achieved for the Palestinian cause at the New York conference on the two-state solution. These successes contributed to the recognition of the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the full and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people by many influential countries. Rather, Saudi Arabia continued its international efforts through alliances, meetings, and discussions with a number of countries to increase pressure on those still hesitant to recognize the State of Palestine. This has compelled several of these countries to announce their intention to recognize it in the near future.
Israel's isolation at the United Nations
In an unprecedented scene, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared alone at the United Nations podium, addressing himself after the majority of delegations walked out in protest against his repressive practices against the Palestinian people and his violations of international laws and norms in his war against them. Netanyahu also persisted in his refusal to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, where residents are facing a real famine in full view of the world.
Saudi Arabia's pivotal role
This global isolation of Israel would not have been possible without Saudi Arabia's significant role in leveraging its religious standing, political influence, and economic power to mobilize international condemnation of the occupation's practices in the Gaza Strip. Saudi Arabia spearheaded an effective diplomatic effort that helped curb Israel's illegitimate expansionist ambitions, which were met with widespread rejection from the international community and the peoples of the world, who expressed their full solidarity with the Palestinians, their just cause, and their legitimate rights.
clear message
These developments confirm that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is continuing its steadfast approach in supporting the Palestinian people, based on its international standing and its ability to influence UN decisions, and is continuing to mobilize the international community towards recognizing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, considering this a legitimate right that cannot be relinquished.
