‘Not Negotiating’: Saudi Arabia directly rejects Trump’s Gaza Download Plan | Gaza news

The establishment of the Palestinian state is ‘a solid, unwavering position’, says the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, rejecting Trump’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.

Saudi Arabia quickly and sharply responded to the promise of US President Donald Trump to “take” the gaza lane, repeating no a normalization contract It will happen to Israel until Palestinians get their own independent state.

“The establishment of the Palestinian state is a firm, unwavering position,” the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday in a long statement about X.

“His Highness [Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman] He confirmed this position in a clear and explicit way that under no conditions allows any interpretation.

Trump’s move is contrary to numerous Saudi Arabian statements over the years emphasizing the dedication of the kingdom Arab Initiative for Peaceproposing the diplomatic recognition of Israel provided that the Palestinian state is established.

‘Talk too early on this’

Other Arabic nations responded uneasily to Trump’s controversial excuses.

Jordan’s royal court said in a statement: “His Majesty King Abdullah II emphasizes the need to stop the stop [Israeli] Spreading the settlement, expressing the rejection of any attempt to annex the land and move Palestinians. “

Qatar’s official said it was too early to talk about who should control the gauze with fragile truce Between Hamas and Israel still in preliminary stages.

“We know that there is a lot of trauma with the Palestinian side when it comes to a shift. However, again, it is too early to talk about it, because we do not know how this war will end,” said Majad Al-Ansari.

Qatar is a key mediator in a poignant gauze Soon, enter his second phase. Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani will meet Trump’s envoy in the Middle East in Florida on Thursday, Steve Witkoff to talk about the following steps forward.

Longtime taboo

Smiling Netanyahu said he asked questions at a joint press conference on Tuesday that “normalization with Saudi will come soon and that they will shock people.”

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia emphasizes that this unwavering position that cannot be negotiated and not subject to compromises. The achievement of permanent and righteous peace is impossible without the Palestinian people to acquire their legitimate rights, “it is said.

The United States led the months of diplomacy to get Saudi Arabia – one of the most powerful and influential Arab countries – to normalize ties with Israel and recognize the country.

But the war in Gaza, which began in October 2023, brought Riyadh to put the effort into the face of deep Arab anger over Israel tireless attacks and civilian slaughter.

Trump would like Saudi Arabia to follow in the footsteps of countries such as the United Arab Emirates, a trade and business centers in the Middle East, and Bahrain, which signed the so -called Abraham contributes to 2020 and normalized relationships with Israel.

In doing so, they became the first Arab countries in a quarter of a century that broke the longtime taboo.

The establishment of connections with Saudi Arabia would be the main prize for Israel, because the kingdom has a huge influence in the Middle East and the wider Muslim world, and is the world’s largest oil exporter.

‘Saudi Arabia has a key role’

Senior political analyst Al Jazeere Marwan Bishara said that the key nation was in connection with the fate of Palestine without a doubt Saudi Arabia.

“There is no country that will have a bigger word in what is happening in Israel and Palestine moving forward from Saudi Arabia. And there is no country that Israel wants to normalize with more than Saudi Arabia,” he said.

One Israeli analyst questioned whether words were as strong as works when it came to the dedication of Saudi Arabia to Palestinian sovereignty.

“The key question is whether Saudi Arabia will convince his deal with the US and normalize with Israel leaving this planNot only saying that they support Palestinians’ right to self-determination, “he told Al Jazeera Menachem Klein, a political scientist professor at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

Bishara also noticed that Trump’s style of leadership in the tycoon of real estate, and his comments in Gaza may be an introductory salvo in the negotiating process, not a new policy for ejecting the Palestinian population from their territory covered by war.

“The calculation would be,” OK, you don’t want to ethnically clean Palestine, you don’t want to send US forces to throw them out and take over that piece of land? Ok, I’m not going to do these things, but what will you give me in return? “He said.

“I think you will see in the coming weeks – when Trump starts climbing down the tree, when things are sobering up – he will tell the Saudis that you should come forward and stop creating the conditions about the Palestinian state,” Bishara added.

“Saudi Arabia plays a key role, Trump has looked at it. But for now, Saudi Arabia holds firmly.”
