Strengthening Palestinian governance and ensuring security and stability for the Palestinian people were key priorities during the discussions.
Another important topic addressed was the ongoing efforts to support the international alliance’s push for a two-state solution, a vision that remains central to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The participants underscored the significance of this approach, reaffirming their commitment to a peaceful resolution based on mutual recognition and coexistence.
Additionally, the meeting touched upon the upcoming international conference on the Palestinian issue, which will be co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France in June 2025. This conference is seen as a pivotal step toward advancing the peace process, and the participants expressed their support for this initiative, which aims to bring together global stakeholders in a concerted effort to achieve a lasting and just solution for the Palestinian people.
Representing Saudi Arabia at the meeting alongside Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan were Advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Political Affairs, Prince Musab bin Mohammed Al Farhan, Saudi Ambassador to Egypt, Saleh bin Eid Al-Husseini, and Advisor at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Manal Radwan.
