RIYADH, FEB 9: The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia, calling them “dangerous and irresponsible.”
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stated that Netanyahu’s comments reflect the Israeli occupation’s disregard for international laws, UN treaties, and the sovereignty of states.
He reaffirmed the GCC’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights and emphasized the necessity of a two-state solution with an independent Palestinian state, having occupied East Jerusalem as its capital.
Albudaiwi further urged the international community to take a firm stance against what he described as “aggressive Israeli statements,” warning that such rhetoric threatens regional and global stability.
