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.
The pledge comes as the United States is expected to offer hints of its proposals for peace between Israel and the Palestinians at a conference in Poland.
Announcing the two-day conference last month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that foreign ministers from around the world would attend.
