Riyadh: Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi expressed rejection and condemnation of the irresponsible and unacceptable statements made by the United States Ambassador to the government of the Israeli occupation forces. The statements included acceptance of the occupation's control over lands belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the Secretary General stressed that the statements constitute a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter, which affirm the sovereignty of states and the unity and full sovereignty of their territories.

He noted that these unprecedented remarks are inconsistent with the United States' directions and the vision put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump for regional and international partners. The vision aims to achieve peace and reach a lasting solution to the Palestinian issue, contributing to enhanced security and stability in the region and worldwide.

He reaffirmed the GCC's firm commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This position aligns with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
