Saudi Arabia calls Israel barring Arab ministers trip ‘extremism and rejection of peace'
Saudi Arabia has accused Israel of 'extremism and rejection of peace' after it blocked a planned visit by Arab foreign ministers to the occupied West Bank. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud made the remarks during a joint news conference in Jordan's capital, Amman, on Sunday with his counterparts from Jordan, Egypt, and Bahrain. 'Israel's refusal of the committee's visit to the West Bank embodies and confirms its extremism and refusal of any serious attempts for [a] peaceful pathway … It strengthens our will to double our diplomatic efforts within the international community to face this arrogance,' Prince Faisal said. His comments followed Israel's decision to block the Arab delegation from reaching Ramallah, where they were set to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The ministers from Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had planned the visit as part of efforts to support Palestinian diplomacy amid Israel's ongoing war on Gaza. Israel controls the airspace and borders of the West Bank, and on Friday announced it would not grant permission for the visit. Prince Faisal's trip to the West Bank would have marked the first such visit by a top Saudi official in recent memory. Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said blocking the trip was another example of how Israel was 'killing any chance of a just and comprehensive' Arab-Israeli settlement. An international conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, is due to be held in New York from June 17 to 20 to discuss the issue of Palestinian statehood. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said the conference would cover security arrangements after a ceasefire in Gaza and reconstruction plans to ensure Palestinians would remain on their land and foil any Israeli plans to evict them. Israel has come under increasing pressure from the United Nations and European countries, which favour a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, under which an independent Palestinian state would exist alongside Israel.
