In a recent interview with Israel's Channel 14, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state within Israeli-occupied territories, proposing instead that Palestinians could create their state in Saudi Arabia, citing the kingdom's vast unoccupied lands. He argued that a Palestinian state within current territories poses a security threat to Israel and is unnecessary for normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu also hinted at an impending peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. However, the Saudi Foreign Ministry rejected this suggestion, stating that normalization with Israel is not possible without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
