The Palestinian President affirms to the Crown Prince Palestine's solidarity with the Kingdom
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a telephone call today from His Excellency President Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine, during which they discussed the latest developments in the region and bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries.
During the call, the Palestinian President expressed his strong condemnation and denunciation of the Iranian attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, affirming that the Palestinian leadership and people stand shoulder to shoulder with the Kingdom in confronting these threats. President Abbas emphasized that the security of the Kingdom is an integral part of Arab national security, and that any infringement upon the Kingdom's sovereignty or security is an infringement upon the security of the entire region.
Broad Arab solidarity and support for the Kingdom's measures
President Mahmoud Abbas affirmed his country's full support for all measures taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to protect its territory and safeguard the security of its citizens and residents. This Palestinian position aligns with the broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with the Kingdom, which represents a cornerstone of stability in the Middle East region, and any attempt to destabilize it will have negative repercussions for the region and the world.
Context of events and the importance of regional stability
These developments come at a time when the region is facing complex geopolitical challenges. Saudi Arabia has consistently pursued a policy of restraint and called for dialogue to promote international peace and security. However, the repeated attacks and threats necessitate a firm stance, which the Saudi leadership has affirmed on numerous occasions, emphasizing the Kingdom's legitimate right to defend itself and its resources against any external aggression.
Observers believe this contact reflects the deep fraternal ties between the Kingdom and Palestine, and underscores Arab unity in confronting foreign interventions aimed at sowing chaos and destabilizing Arab states. The Kingdom has never hesitated to support Arab causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause, making this mutual solidarity a cornerstone of diplomatic relations between the two sides.
Saudi-Palestinian relations: A history of mutual support
Relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Palestine are characterized by their strength and historical depth, with the Kingdom being one of the largest political and economic supporters of the Palestinian cause in international forums. President Mahmoud Abbas's call expresses gratitude and appreciation for Saudi Arabia's leading role and underscores that Palestinians consider the security of the Two Holy Mosques and the Kingdom a red line that cannot be crossed.
At the end of the call, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressed his thanks and appreciation to His Excellency the Palestinian President for his sincere brotherly sentiments, stressing the Kingdom’s constant concern for the security and stability of Arab countries, and its continued efforts to unify the Arab ranks in the face of common challenges.
