RIYADH, September 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman said on Wednesday that Gaza was an integral part of the Palestinian Territory and that the Gazans’ rights were indisputable.

Speaking on behalf of King Salman bin Abdulaziz at the opening of the ninth session of the Shura Council, he emphasized that Gazans’ rights cannot be denied by any aggression or eliminated by any threat.

Highlighting Saudi Arabia’s commitment to the Arab Peace Initiative, originally launched in 2002, Saudi Crown Prince bin Salman stated that the initiative offers an unprecedented path to realize the establishment of the Palestinian state.

He stated that Saudi Arabia’s efforts led to an increase in the number of countries recognizing the State of Palestine, and cited the recent International Conference for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution in New York as a success that bolstered international consensus on implementation of the initiative.

Bin Salman condemned Israel’s brutal attacks on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and its persistence in committing the crimes of starvation and forced displacement.

He condemned the Israeli occupation authorities’ assaults and slammed Israel’s assault on Qatar as a "brutal aggression”, urging the Arab and Islamic states as well as the international community to take action to deter the occupation authorities from persisting in their "criminal practices" that destabilize regional security.
