Saudi Arabia stressed the need to ensure the withdrawal of Israeli forces, end the occupation, and create the conditions necessary for political progress (AP). 

Saudi Arabia has emphasized the need to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (to end the Gaza conflict) as the primary legal and political framework, particularly regarding the work of the Peace Council, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, the end of the occupation, and the creation of conditions conducive to political progress.

Saudi Minister Plenipotentiary, Cabinet of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Manal Radwan said the current phase requires intensified diplomatic efforts, dialogue, and coordinated action to keep the peace process aligned with its core goal of ending the conflict and achieving lasting peace.

Radwan was speaking at the eighth meeting of the Global Alliance for Implementing the Two-State Solution in Dublin, held under the patronage of Ireland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and attended by member states and international partners.

She stressed the importance of supporting the Palestinian National Authority, strengthening its institutional capacity, and ensuring institutional and geographic continuity between Gaza and the West Bank to preserve the unity of Palestinian territory.

Radwan said the Global Alliance provides a unique international platform to align peace efforts and enhance their effectiveness in advancing a political solution.

She praised the pivotal role of the United States and the efforts led by President Donald Trump, noting that coordination with Washington to implement a comprehensive peace plan offers a genuine opportunity to end the conflict and move toward regional integration and sustainable stability.

She highlighted that Ireland’s experience in peacebuilding shows that complex conflicts can be resolved when peace processes are guided by a comprehensive approach, a clear political horizon, the rejection of violence, and the promotion of dialogue and confidence-building.

Radwan reiterated warnings about ongoing violations by Israeli occupation forces and breaches of the ceasefire agreement, stressing the importance of the New York Declaration, the comprehensive peace plan, and Security Council Resolution 2803 as an integrated framework.

In closing, she reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s commitment to working with regional and international partners to achieve a just and lasting peace that meets the Palestinian people’s aspirations for self-determination and an independent state, while ensuring security and stability across the region.
