Saudi minister: Israel blocking Ramallah meeting proof of ‘extremism’

Summary

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, criticized Israel’s refusal to permit an Arab ministerial delegation to the West Bank, labeling it a sign of “extremism and rejection of peace.” This statement was made during a press conference in Amman with Jordanian, Egyptian, and Bahraini counterparts, following the blocked visit intended to discuss Palestinian statehood. The situation underscores Israel’s resistance to diplomatic efforts and the increasing pressure for a two-state solution from the international community.
