In a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Riyadh assessed his comments as irresponsible and contrary to international law, the Charter of the United Nations and established diplomatic norms.
It was emphasized that such statements represent a dangerous precedent, especially since they come from a high-ranking American official, and that they undermine US relations with the countries of the region.
The Saudi Ministry warns that such attitudes can have serious consequences for global peace and security, as they incite tensions and call into question the principles of sovereignty and internationally recognized borders.
Riyadh called on the US State Department to clearly specify Washington’s official position, pointing out that Huckabee’s statements were condemned by numerous countries.
In the end, Saudi Arabia reiterated its long-standing position that a lasting and just peace is possible only through the end of the occupation and the implementation of the two-state solution, which entails the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
