Palestine–Saudi Arabia relations

Palestine–Saudi Arabia relations refers to the bilateral relationship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Palestine.

Although the State of Palestine has an embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia does not have one in Ramallah. On August 12, 2023, Ambassador Nayef al-Sudairi, the kingdom’s current ambassador to Jordan, was named as non-resident envoy to Palestine and consul general in Jerusalem at the Palestinian embassy in Amman. Israeli officials said, the new Saudi ambassador can meet Palestinian officials but will have no fixed presence. Both countries are members or observers of the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the United Nations. In recent years, there have been rumors indicating behind-the-scenes diplomatic and intelligence cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Israel, in pursuit of mutual goals against Iran. However, Saudi Arabia supports the establishment of a Palestinian state on the basis of pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
