Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud says the country has formed a global alliance to pressure Israel to accept a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Arab and Muslim countries and European partners are in the alliance, the Saudi news agency reported, without specifying which countries specifically.
The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, wrote on the X network that the first meetings will be held in Riyadh and Brussels.
“Implementation of a two-state solution is the best solution for ending violence and suffering and for a new reality in which the entire region, including Israel, enjoys security and coexistence,” bin Farhan said, the agency said.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said last week that the kingdom would not recognize Israel without a Palestinian state and strongly condemned the “crimes of the Israeli occupation” against the Palestinian people.
In recent weeks, there have been increasingly intense conflicts in the Middle East between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah. In particular, two Israeli attacks in which Hezbollah’s means of communication exploded, killing several dozen people and injuring thousands more, reverberated around the world.
Since then, the conflict has threatened to escalate completely. Hezbollah launches several rockets into Israeli territory almost every day, most of which are stopped by the Israeli defense system.
On the other hand, Israel carried out several airstrikes on the main Lebanese city of Beirut. In one of those attacks, on Monday, nearly 500 people were killed in Lebanon, the deadliest attack on Lebanon in decades.
The latest reports from the Middle East say that Israel has carried out a simulated ground attack which could mean that all-out war between the two sides is about to begin. In the previous days, Israel killed several Hezbollah commanders in airstrikes, which were extremely heavy blows for this group, Klix.ba writes.
