Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Calls for Sovereignty over Palestine's West Bank

Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Calls for Sovereignty over Palestine's West Bank

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the calls of Israeli ministers to apply full sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying the Kingdom “condemns and denounces” the statements made by Israeli officials calling for the imposition of sovereignty over the Palestinian territory of the West Bank.

It added saying that such actions violate international legitimacy resolutions, reiterating the Kingdom's firm rejection of any attempts to expand settlements on Palestinian land.

It stressed the importance of holding the Israeli authorities accountable to international resolution.

The Kingdom reaffirmed its full support for the Palestinian people in their pursuit of their legitimate rights, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Cabinet ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party called on Wednesday for Israel to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank before the Knesset recesses at the end of the month.
