Saudi Arabia's Firm Stance at the UN Security Council

Saudi Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Walid Khreiji, announced from the UN Security Council that "the peace we aspire to will not be achieved except through a reliable, irreversible path towards establishing an independent Palestinian state that guarantees the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people." The UN Security Council held an open discussion session at the ministerial level yesterday, Tuesday, regarding "the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian issue." During this session, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that "the clear and repeated rejection of a two-state solution at the highest levels of the Israeli government is unacceptable." "The peace we aspire to will not be achieved except through a reliable, irreversible path towards establishing an independent Palestinian state that guarantees the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people," said Walid Khreiji, Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister, speaking at the UN Security Council.
