Saudi Arabia has formed a global alliance to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the country's foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.
The alliance includes a number of Arab and Muslim countries and European partners, the Saudi state news agency reported, without specifying which countries had committed to join.
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on X the first meetings would be in Riyadh and Brussels.
"Implementing the two-state solution is the best solution to break the cycle of conflict and suffering, and enforce a new reality in which the entire region, including Israel, enjoys security and coexistence", Prince Faisal was quoted as saying.
Israel and Hamas have been waging war since gunmen from the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip stormed into southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people and capturing some 250 hostages, by Israeli tallies.
Israel responded with a military offensive in Gaza in which more than 41,500 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza health authorities.
