Riyadh: Saudi King Salman said Tuesday the kingdom was committed to an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital ahead of a US-led conference on Middle East peace and security.
The King was speaking during a meeting with visiting Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in Riyadh.
King Salman said his country "permanently stands by Palestine and its people´s right to an independent state with east Jerusalem as its capital", reported the official Saudi Press Agency.

Announcing the two-day conference last month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that foreign ministers from around the world would attend.
