Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman reiterated on Wednesday that the Palestinian issue is at the forefront of the Kingdom’s concerns.
He reaffirmed that Saudi Arabia will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Crown Prince announced this while inaugurating, on behalf of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, the activities of the first year of the ninth session of the Shura Council in Riyadh.
Delivering the annual address of the King at the Shura Council, the Crown Prince renewed rejection and strong condemnation of the crimes of the Israeli occupation authority against the Palestinian people, ignoring international and humanitarian law in a new and bitter chapter of suffering.
While asserting that the Kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, the Crown Prince affirmed that the Kingdom will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that. 
He also extended thanks to the countries that recognized the Palestinian state, saying that this is an embodiment of international legitimacy. He urged the rest of the countries to recognize Palestine.
During the speech, the Crown Prince stressed the importance of progress and achievements made by Saudi Arabia on the domestic front. 
“Since the launch of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, the citizen has been our focus, as they are its pillar and goal, and any achievement made through its comprehensive umbrella of various paths is an elevation for the homeland, a benefit for the citizen, and immunity for future generations from fluctuations and changes,” he highlighted. 
The Crown Prince said that Saudi Arabia has achieved many remarkable accomplishments during this great journey, and among the examples of these non-oil activities in the Kingdom, saying that it recorded its highest contribution to the real GDP at 50% last year, which enhanced the sustainability and comprehensiveness of growth and achieved high quality in economic diversification.

The Saudi government reiterated on Tuesday its keenness on bolstering regional and international security and peace.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.

The government underscored the Kingdom’s support for efforts to reach political solutions to regional and global conflicts. It also stressed its backing to every effort that could boost cooperation to confront international challenges.

King Salman thanked the leaders of friendly and brotherly countries for their messages of congratulations on the occasion of Saudi Arabia’s National Day, which falls on September 23.

The ministers hailed the Royal speech delivered at the inauguration of the first year of the ninth session of the Shura Council, which outlined the nation's priorities, goals, and achievements, and reiterated the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to promoting peace and prosperity in the world.

The ministers expressed gratitude to King Salman for his Royal Order approving the King Salman Foundation bylaws. They commended the foundation, which is a reflection of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' commitment to building sustainable societies and investing in human development, and an extension of his longstanding tradition of charitable and humanitarian deeds.

The cabinet welcomed the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of a resolution calling for an end to the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.

It stressed the need to take concrete and credible steps to achieve a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in line with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions.

The cabinet hoped the Pact for the Future, adopted by the UN summit, will mark a significant turning point in multilateral action.

The Kingdom believes that the pact can help establish a modern and equitable international system that fosters rapid progress toward sustainable development goals, addresses the needs of all nations, bridges the digital gap, and supports emerging economies to strengthen the global financial system.

In addition, the cabinet deemed the Kingdom's successful bid for the presidency of the International Coral Reef Initiative as a testament to its international recognition and standing in the field of marine environment protection, biodiversity, and ecosystem conservation.

Moreover, the cabinet expressed pride in the Kingdom's impressive results in the UN indicators concerning e-government development and tourism. They further strengthen the Kingdom's leading position and highlight the significant progress it has made in various fields, conforming with the goals of Vision 2030.
