Speaking to journalists after the Gulf summit, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud declared that the US and Saudi Arabia: 1.“agree to end the war in Gaza 2. and release all hostages.”
according to a New York Times report, he said the US administration is willing to make “very courageous decisions”: 1. to push toward a ceasefire in Gaza, 2. and “open up pathways to resolving the broader issues of Palestine,” 3. including “moving toward, one hopes, a Palestinian state,”
The US did not issue a similar statement regarding any agreements reached with the Saudis about the war in Gaza.
Al-Saud also said: “We need to reach a ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible,” adding that “without a ceasefire in Gaza, it would be difficult to supply aid” to the enclave.
