00:00 Saudi Arabia has issued a firm condemnation of Israel's approval of the 3,500 new settlement

00:06 units in the occupied West Bank, branding it as a "flagrant violation of international

00:11 law" and a "significant obstacle to regional peace efforts".

00:15 The kingdom has retariated its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and emphasized

00:20 the urgent need for a just and lasting solution.

00:22 Stressing the importance of adhering to the international resolution and the Arab Peace

00:26 Initiative, Saudi Arabia has called for the establishment of the Palestinian state based

00:30 on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

00:35 The Israeli government's decision to advance plans for the construction of over 3,400 new

00:39 homes in settlements, with a significant portion earmarked for the Maale Adumim and other areas

00:45 near Bethlehem, has drawn condemnation from Palestinian authorities and sparked concerns

00:50 internationally.

00:52 The settlements, deemed illegal by much of the global community, have long been a contentious

00:56 issue in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

00:59 Given Saudi Arabia's prominent role in the region and its efforts towards fostering stability

01:03 and dialogue, the recent escalation in settlement activity can potentially impact the ongoing

01:07 normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

01:11 These talks, which aim to improve relations between the two nations, may face increased

01:15 scrutiny and challenges in light of Israel's unilateral action in the occupied territories.

01:20 The kingdom's steadfast support for Palestinian rights and its call for a negotiated two-state

01:24 solution reflects its commitment to promote peace and stability in the region, even as

01:29 challenges persist and diplomatic efforts face uncertainties.
