In an interview published on Monday in the US Magazine Atlantique, Saudi King's comments came.

Reuters writes, this is a sample of what is happening in Riyadh and Tel Aviv.

Prince Mohammad was asked if he believed that Jews had the opportunity to live as a nation state in their ancestral land.

In response, he said, "I believe Palestinians and Israelis have full rights over their land." We now need a peace agreement so that all parties can maintain a stable and normal relationship. "

Islam's origin and main pilgrimage Saudi Arabia does not recognize the Jewish state as Israel's sovereign state.

Israel occupied the Arab lands during the 1967 war. Riyadh has been maintaining such a policy so long that relations with Saudi Arabia will depend on the return of that land. Palestinians claim to the land.

Saudi Prince Prince of the United States from last month said to the Atlantic, "Palestinian people's rights and al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem are important to us for religious reasons. We just want to say this; We have no complaints about any other person. "

Reuters writes, Saudi Saudi King's visit is intended to attract US investment. One of the main objectives of regional opposition to pushing Iran's influence is to increase support for Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has developed a kind of confidentiality with Israel in dealing with Iran's influence and power in the Middle East, for a while. In November last year, Israel's energy minister Juval Steinitz Riyadh-Tel Aviv acknowledged the confidentiality of the confidentiality of the idea.

Israel's Chief of Staff General Gadi Eisenet said at the time that his country is prepared to exchange intelligence with Saudi Arabia in exchange for Iran.

On this one question, the Saudi King told the Atlantic, "We are very much interested in many things with Israel. And if there is peace, the Gulf Cooperation Council member countries will also be interested in many things with Israel. "

For the first time Saudi Arabia has opened its skyway for commercial flights to Israel in the past for the first time. An Israeli official has described the incident as a historic event in a series of changes in relations between the two countries.

A BBC report said that the reason for this change in the Saudi attitude of Israel was more than an era ago.

After the end of Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq in 2003, Shi'ah became stronger instead of Sunni in the country's politics. As a result, closer relations with neighboring Iran, Shi'a began to grow.

Iraqi Shiite militias later joined the fight for President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war. Russia was already in favor of Assad, Assad survived after the support of regional neighbor Iran.

This led to the possibility of opening a corridor from Tehran to the Mediterranean, which is ahead of Iran, which allows Sunni Islam to move more towards Israel.

Saudi Arabia is active in both countries to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power state.
