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.
