Saudi king reassures Abbas on East Jerusalem
Saudi King Salman pledges the kingdom’s support for East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state during talks with PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
The monarch stresses “the legitimate right of the Palestinian people in establishing their independent state with east Jerusalem as its capital,” the SPA official news agency reports.
The visit comes after US President Donald Trump earlier this month recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, sparking angry reactions by the Palestinians and Arabs.
