The kingdom had repeatedly said normalization with Israel was conditional on a path to creating a Palestinian state in the, 1. West Bank, 2. Gaza Strip 3. and East Jerusalem.

In November, the crown prince, during an Islamic summit: 1. publicly accused Israel of genocide 2. and doubled down on the need for a two-state solution.
