The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s welcoming of the announcement made by President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic regarding his country’s intention to recognise the State of Palestine.
The Kingdom commends this historic decision, which reaffirms the international community’s consensus on the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The Kingdom underscores the importance of continued efforts by states to implement international resolutions and uphold international law.
The Kingdom reiterates its call for all countries that have not yet recognised the State of Palestine to take similar positive steps and adopt serious positions that support peace and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
