Trump may recognize Palestinian State during his visit to Saudi Arabia, Gulf diplomat says

WORLD, May 10 (YPA) – A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, “President Donald Trump will issue a declaration recognizing the State of Palestine during his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia.”

The source also added, “If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords.”

Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May, part of US President Donald Trump’s first visit to Saudi Arabia during his second term. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017, during Trump’s first term.

The upcoming gathering in Riyadh is generating significant attention amid Trump’s hints at a “very important announcement” expected during the visit.

Experts and diplomats are working to decipher the nature of the anticipated declaration and the summit’s broader content, with speculation ranging from military and security agreements to cutting-edge cooperation in technology and artificial intelligence.

All Gulf leaders are scheduled to participate in the Gulf-US summit, with the exception of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time due to his health conditions.
