Saudi Arabia's current priority is permanent ceasefire in Gaza: Foreign minister
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Friday that the Kingdom's current priority is reaching a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, when asked about the possibility of normalizing ties with Israel. He was speaking during a visit to Moscow. 'What we are seeing is the Israelis are crushing Gaza, the civilian population of Gaza,' he said. 'This is completely unnecessary, completely unacceptable and has to stop.' Saudi Arabia has repeatedly stated its firm stance that there can be no normalization of ties with Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state. The local health ministry in Gaza says more than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's assault on the region since an October 7 attack on Israel by the Palestinian group Hamas.
