Kuwait city: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: strongly condemned statements made by the US Ambassador to Israel in which he reportedly suggested that Israel's control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable, describing the remarks as reckless and entirely unacceptable.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement affirming the Kingdom's categorical rejection of such comments, emphasizing that they constitute a clear violation of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and established diplomatic norms. The Ministry described the statements as a serious affront in both content and tone by a US official and as a reflection of disregard for the distinguished relations between the countries of the region and the United States.
The statement warned that such rhetoric could lead to grave consequences and threaten international peace and security by antagonizing the states and peoples of the region, while undermining the foundations of the international order agreed upon by nations to prevent devastating wars. The statement emphasized that the international system is based on respect for state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and internationally recognized borders.
Saudi Arabia called on the US Department of State to clarify its position regarding the rejected remarks, stating that they run counter to the aspirations of peace-loving nations worldwide. The Kingdom reiterated its firm stance against any infringement on the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of states. It reaffirmed that the only path to achieving a just and comprehensive peace lies in ending the occupation based on a two-state solution and establishing an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
