The member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have once more called for the establishment of a Palestinian state during their latest ministerial meeting in Riyadh.
A statement carried by Qatar’s Foreign Minster Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who chaired the event, said the Arab member nations want to see an “independent State of Palestine on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital”.
They promised to continue pushing for a lasting peace that would include “the Palestinian people obtaining all their legitimate rights approved by international bodies”.
Israel continues to oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state.
