MEAsharq Al-Awsat (EN)Saudi Arabia Reiterates Its Categorical Rejection of Israel’s ‘State Land’ Decision in West Bank MEAsharq Al-Awsat (EN) (ME)Saudi Arabia: Israel has No Sovereignty over Occupied Palestinian Territories

In February 2026, Saudi Arabia publicly reaffirmed its rejection of Israel's claims of sovereignty over the West Bank, a territory internationally recognized as occupied Palestinian land. The Saudi government explicitly dismissed Israel's designation of parts of the West Bank as 'state land,' emphasizing its stance that Israel holds no legitimate sovereignty over these territories. This position aligns with Saudi Arabia's longstanding support for Palestinian statehood and reflects ongoing regional tensions surrounding Israeli settlement policies. The statements come amid broader Middle Eastern diplomatic dynamics and could influence future peace negotiations and regional alliances.
