Saudi Crown Prince Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza

Mohammed bin Salman calls for international intervention amid escalating tensions and regional political shifts.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman condemned Israel's actions in Gaza as 'collective genocide' during a summit of Muslim and Arab leaders in Riyadh.
The crown prince urged the global community to halt Israeli attacks on Palestinians and respect Iranian sovereignty, marking a shift in Saudi-Iran relations.
The Riyadh summit aimed to unify Islamic nations and exert pressure on ending ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia's previous negotiations for normalizing relations with Israel have stalled, with demands for Palestinian statehood being a key sticking point.
With Qatar withdrawing from mediation efforts, Saudi Arabia may step in as a potential peace broker amid changing US leadership dynamics.
