possible only if a Palestinian state within 1967 borders was delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Arabia has previously made similar comments, saying it would only normalise ties with Israel within a plan that would deliver a sovereign state to Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we need to make happen is a peace deal that delivers a Palestinian state with dignity and with a workable sovereignty that Palestinians can accept,\u201d Prince Faisal had said in December last year.<\/p>\n<p>He added at the time that the normalisation of ties with Israel has long been part of Saudi Arabia\u2019s vision, saying that the kingdom envisaged a move in exchange for the creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borderlines.<\/p>\n<p>In September last year, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed the\u00a0so-called Abraham Accords\u00a0to normalise ties with Israel.\u00a0Sudan and Morocco have since followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0deals\u00a0were the first since Israel\u2019s recognition by Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s agreements, brokered by former US President Donald Trump\u2019s administration, included a freeze by Israel on planned annexation of Palestinian land.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinian officials\u00a0condemned\u00a0the normalisation as \u201ca\u00a0stab in the back\u00a0of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict closely reflects the Arab Peace Initiative, which was proposed by Saudi Arabia in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative called for normalised relations between Israel and other Arab states in exchange for a full withdrawal by Israel from lands it occupied in the 1967 war, including the occupied regions: Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the West Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative was re-endorsed over the years by the Arab League but never implemented, as Israel continued its occupation and settlement expansion in the West Bank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A normalisation deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel would benefit the region, the
