The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Monday the Kingdom’s condemnation of an Israeli decision to register land in the occupied West Bank.

A ministry statement described the move as part of plans aimed at imposing a new legal and administrative reality in the West Bank, undermining ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.

The statement stressed that “Israel has no sovereignty over occupied Palestinian territories, reiterating its absolute rejection of these illegal measures, which constitute a grave violation of international law, undermine the two-state solution, and represent an assault on the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and sovereign state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

Palestinians see the West Bank as foundational to any future Palestinian state.
