Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Jasem Albudaiwi reaffirmed on Sunday the commitment of GCC member states to support the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. He emphasized their efforts to enable the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions.
Albudaiwi made these remarks during a meeting at the GCC General Secretariat headquarters in Riyadh with newly appointed Palestinian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Mazen Mohammed Rateb Ghneim, SPA reported.
The meeting addressed several key issues, including the latest developments in the Palestinian territories and the ongoing and serious violations committed by Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian people.
Albudaiwi reiterated the GCC's position as outlined in the final statement of the GCC Supreme Council during its 45th session in December 2024. The statement emphasized the centrality of the Palestinian cause, the need to end Israeli occupation, and support for the sovereignty of the Palestinian people over all occupied Palestinian territories.
He called on all countries to finalize recognition procedures for the State of Palestine and urged collective international action to achieve a permanent solution.

This solution, he stressed, should ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and international resolutions.
The Secretary-General also underscored the importance of intensifying efforts by the international community to resolve the conflict in a manner that upholds the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
