Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday said the Kingdom would not recognize Israel without a Palestinian state and strongly condemned the "crimes of the Israeli occupation" against the Palestinian people.

"The Kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and we affirm that the Kingdom will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that," the Crown Prince said.

He made the remarks at an annual speech to the advisory Shura Council, which he gave on behalf of King Salman.

The Council swore an oath of office before the Crown Prince on Wednesday before he addressed it.
