Saudi Arabia’s new ambassador to the Palestinian Authority officially visited the occupied West Bank for the first time on Tuesday, seeking ways for US-sponsored Saudi-Israel normalization negotiations to benefit the Palestinians.

“The interest of the crown prince in the Palestinian issue is not new and he’s keen for the region and the world to witness security and flourish,” Naif bin Bandar Al Sudairi, who is also ambassador to Jordan, told journalists before presenting his credentials to Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Malki and President Mahmoud Abbas.
