As the conflict between Israel and Gaza escalates, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that Saudi Arabia continues to stand by the Palestinian people to achieve their rights and hopes. The Crown Prince said he is working to prevent an expansion of the conflict following the surprise Hamas attack on Israel. Analysts say any Saudi-Israeli normalization has now been set back by the fighting. Saudi Arabia, which does not recognize Israel, has long voiced support for Palestinian statehood, with the Crown Prince stating recently the issue is very important for the kingdom.
