RIYADH
APPOINTS AMBASSADOR TO PALESTINE
Saudi
Arabia has appointed an ambassador to Palestine, in what is considered further
proof of the Saudi Kingdom's interest in supporting the Palestinian people,
when Israel intensifies its attacks on them.
Some
commentators have considered this fact as the first step towards the establishment
of relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv, which is absolutely false. The Saudis
remain faithful to the Arab peace plan, which Israel has never accepted.
This
appointment represents "an important step" that reflects the desire
of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman "to strengthen
relations with the brothers of the State of Palestine and give it a formal
boost in all areas," as explained by Al Sudairi in statements collected by
the Saudi channel Al Ekhbariya On the other hand, according to the Saudi news
agency, SPA, this decision seeks to "strengthen and promote bilateral ties
in various areas."
Although Al
Sudairi continues his work from Amman, the Palestinian authorities regard this
move as a diplomatic victory. As The Jerusalem Post recalls, Saudi Arabia is
the fourth Arab country to appoint an ambassador to Palestine after Egypt,
Jordan and Morocco.
