RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the situation in Palestine, the Saudi Press Agency reported early on Wednesday.
The crown prince, who received the call from Macron, reiterated the Kingdom’s position, which seeks an immediate end to the war in Gaza and a just, secure and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, and condemns any measure aimed at undermining a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The pair also discussed issues of mutual cooperation between France and the Kingdom, and measures to enhance them.
Saudi Arabia and France have led an initiative to push for recognition for a Palestinian state.
In July, Macron announced France would formally recognize the State of Palestine during the UN General Assembly, to be held later this month, becoming the first G7 country to make the commitment.
