Palestinian President Abbas to Visit Saudi Arabia for Talks on Palestinian Developments
(MENAFN) Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is set to visit Saudi Arabia on Monday for talks with Saudi King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The visit comes amid reports that Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh will also visit the oil-rich kingdom on the same day for the first time in years. Palestinian Ambassador in Riyadh Basem Al-Agha has stated that Abbas will discuss Palestinian developments with the Saudi officials during his visit.
According to Al-Agha, Abbas will speak about the "Zionist [Israeli] crimes in Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher [in occupied East Jerusalem] and the Palestinian suffering from the Israeli occupation." The visit by Abbas is significant as it highlights Saudi Arabia's continued involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its commitment to finding a resolution to the ongoing crisis.
On Friday, Saudi Arabia hosted a ministerial meeting of Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, during which participants strongly condemned Israeli assaults on worshippers at the Al-Aqsa complex and measures that undermine the two-state solution. The meeting is seen as a sign of the growing regional support for Palestine and the Palestinian cause, and highlights the importance of finding a resolution to the ongoing crisis.
Tensions have escalated across the Palestinian territories in recent weeks, following Israeli forces' forcible removal of worshippers from inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in East Jerusalem. The Israeli raids on the mosque triggered rocket fire from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, with Israel retaliating with air and artillery shelling. The situation has further deteriorated since then, with continued violence and unrest in the region.
The visit by Abbas to Saudi Arabia is a positive step towards finding a resolution to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The talks between Abbas and Saudi officials are likely to focus on a range of issues, including the situation in Palestine, regional stability, and the role of Saudi Arabia in the peace process. It is hoped that the visit will contribute to greater regional cooperation and dialogue, and help to bring an end to the ongoing crisis in the region.
