Saudi Arabia is hoping for de-escalation and dialogue, Economy Minister Faisal al-Ibrahim says, when asked at a conference in Berlin about the situation in the Middle East following Iran’s missile attack against Israel.
Al-Ibrahim calls the escalation unfortunate, but said it is very hard to avoid discussing.
“We hope that wisdom will prevail, de-escalation will happen, dialogue will come into place and more collaboration will be seen globally, but also regionally for us to address these challenges,” he says.
