Saudi Arabia announces formation of international alliance to establish Palestinian State

CAIRO – 27 September 2024:  Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farahn announced on Friday the formation of an international alliance to implement the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state, to bring peace to the region.

In a press conference held on the sidelines of the UNGA79 meetings, Bin Farhan noted that the alliance will be participated by Arab and Muslim counties, in cooperation with European partners.

He continued that the first meeting of the alliance is due to convene in Riyadh, without setting a specific time for the first meeting. The Saudi Minister continued other meetings to be held also in Brussels, Cairo, Oslo, Amman and Ankara.

Since the commencement of the Gaza war on October 7, Israeli forces have killed more than 41,500 Palestinians, injured over 96,000 others, and pushed the enclave closer to the brink of famine.

Simultaneously, Israeli forces initiated a relentless series of airstrikes throughout Lebanon, marking the deadliest assault on the Arab nation in almost a decade.

The airstrikes have killed over 600 individuals, including women and children, and left hundreds more wounded.

The Israeli airstrikes followed a sequence of fatal explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies, orchestrated through a joint operation involving Israeli intelligence and the military, killing 42 people and injuring around 3,500 others, according to official Lebanese figures.
