At the Haifa airport, the Israeli military assassinated a senior Hamas military commander, immediately escalating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel and Palestine have once again reached a stalemate.
However, this deadlock is evidently more disadvantageous for Israel.
The Saudi ambassador to the UK clearly stated that Saudi Arabia would never normalize relations with Israel at the expense of Palestinian statehood.
If the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, Saudi Arabia will persist in supporting the Israeli-Palestinian "two-state solution," a position that will not change.
Israel responded briefly to this crucial message, expressing a tough stance towards Saudi Arabia in just five words.
In an interview with the media, the Saudi ambassador to the UK emphasized that Saudi Arabia is the only country in the Middle East firmly supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Although there were rumors that Saudi Arabia might agree to the Israeli-Palestinian "two-state solution" to improve relations with the United States, Saudi Arabia reaffirmed that it would never abandon its support for Palestinian statehood.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has lasted for decades, and the international community generally hopes for an early resolution of this issue.
However, Israel has consistently failed to make substantial concessions, and Palestinian demands have rarely been met, making it difficult to alleviate the conflict.
As a major country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia's position is crucial to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
However, Saudi Arabia's stance has long been unclear, which has increased external concerns.
It wasn't until Israel launched the "Defensive Border" operation that Saudi Arabia made its stance clear.
Saudi Arabia believes that if the situation in Gaza continues to worsen, the chances of normalizing relations with Israel will greatly diminish.
Therefore, Saudi Arabia issued an ultimatum to Israel.
The Saudi ambassador to the UK particularly emphasized that Saudi Arabia would not make concessions and would firmly support the "two-state solution," never the "one-state solution." Saudi Arabia's position is clear and will persist.
Although Saudi Arabia's firm stance has caused internal controversy, especially from countries like Qatar, these countries have limited influence on Saudi Arabia.
There is still controversy within Saudi Arabia regarding the Israeli-Palestinian "two-state solution," which also increases external attention to potential changes in Saudi Arabia's position.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated that normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel would significantly aid the Middle East peace process.
However, Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its support for Palestinian statehood, a position that will not change.
Palestine, as the homeland of the Arabs, has always been the focus of global attention regarding its national rights.
Saudi Crown Prince Khalid has repeatedly questioned Israel's actions, arguing that Israel's aggressive behavior violates international law, disrespects the rights of the Palestinian people, and breaches the peace agreements between Israel and Palestine.
Netanyahu expressed dissatisfaction with Crown Prince Khalid's opposition.
He believes that if Saudi Arabia and Israel cannot normalize relations, the responsibility lies with Crown Prince Khalid, as he has consistently opposed the normalization process with Israel.
The Israeli media also strongly reported on Saudi Arabia's statement, suggesting that Saudi Arabia is making excuses to hinder the normalization of relations with Israel.
Israeli President Netanyahu emphasized that Crown Prince Khalid's actions would not change the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
He warned that if Saudi Arabia chooses to oppose all Arab countries, it would only exacerbate tensions in the Middle East and place Israel in an even more dangerous situation.
Saudi Arabia's ultimatum poses a significant challenge for Israel.
The Israeli media responded strongly, believing that Saudi Arabia's stance would align it against the entire Arab world.
Saudi Arabia's firm support for Palestinian statehood will not change, bringing more confidence to the Palestinian people.
In media interviews, Netanyahu continued to uphold Israel's position, arguing that Saudi Arabia is merely making excuses and that further negotiations are needed to resolve the issue.
He emphasized that only by continuing to fight can Israel resolve the problem.
The Saudi ambassador to the UK's statement reflects the complex positions of Middle Eastern countries on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict highlights its fundamental contradictions, requiring more mediation and efforts from the international community to resolve.
