Saudi Arabia condemns the statements of the US ambassador to Israel and demands clarification
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its strong condemnation and absolute denunciation of the remarks made by the US Ambassador to Israel, which the Kingdom considered unacceptable and disrespectful. The Ambassador had suggested that Israeli control over the entire Middle East region might be acceptable. In its urgent statement, the Ministry emphasized that these remarks not only reflect an individual opinion but also constitute a dangerous precedent in diplomatic discourse from a US official.
A blatant violation of international laws and norms
The Kingdom affirmed its categorical rejection of these irresponsible statements, emphasizing that they constitute a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter, which explicitly stipulates respect for the sovereignty of states and non-interference in their internal affairs or infringement upon their geographical borders. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that such statements contravene established diplomatic norms and represent a disregard for the strategic and distinguished relations that bind the countries of the region to the United States of America, thus necessitating a serious review of such positions.
The dangers of extremist rhetoric to world peace
In further analyzing the repercussions of this event, observers believe that this extreme position portends dire consequences that could threaten global peace and security. The suggestion of accepting the dominance of a single party over the Middle East undermines the foundations of the international order agreed upon by the world's nations to end an era of bloody wars. Historically, the Middle East has suffered from protracted conflicts, and the international role has always been focused on de-escalation and conflict resolution, not on fueling them through statements that could be interpreted as a green light for further expansion and hegemony.
A call to clarify the American position
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested its American counterpart to clarify its official position on this proposal, which has been widely rejected by all peace-loving nations. This request stems from the Kingdom's commitment to regional stability and preventing any slide into political chaos that could result from adopting such extremist ideologies.
The firm Saudi position: The two-state solution is the basis
The Kingdom concluded its statement by reiterating its firm and historic stance rejecting anything that might infringe upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states. Saudi Arabia emphasized that the only way to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the region is not through imposing control or hegemony, but rather through ending the Israeli occupation of Arab territories and working diligently in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant UN resolutions to reach a two-state solution, establishing an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, thus guaranteeing security and stability for all the peoples of the region.
