Saudi FM: Israel’s barring of delegation to West Bank shows ‘extremism and rejection of peace’

AMMAN, Jordan — Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud says the government’s refusal to allow a delegation of Arab ministers to the West Bank showed its “extremism and rejection of peace.”

His statements come during a joint press conference with counterparts from Jordan, Egypt and Bahrain in Amman.

On Saturday, Israel said it would not allow a planned meeting on Sunday in the Palestinian Authority’s capital of Ramallah to go ahead.
