Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has conditionally agreed to restore ties with Israel.
Addressing a conference in Bahrain, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said, "We have always wanted to establish full relations with Israel, but Palestine is a condition for that."
He said the establishment of an independent Palestinian state was necessary if Israel wanted peace and stability in the region. Only the establishment of an independent Palestinian state can bring peace to the region. We must focus on bringing Israel and Palestine to the negotiating table.
