In a dramatic shift, Saudi Arabia pulls back from its pursuit of a U.S. defense treaty, citing the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and growing public anger over Israel's actions in Gaza.
The crown prince, once on the verge of normalizing relations with Israel, now insists that Palestinian statehood remains a vital condition.
Is this the moment Saudi Arabia takes a bold stand for Palestinian rights?
Explore how the Israel war has altered the dynamics of Middle Eastern diplomacy and what this means for U.S.-Saudi relations in the region.
In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha BâAv, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy âhas not changed.â

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as âgame-changing.â Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conferenceâhosted by France and Saudi Arabiaâto advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it âa gift to Hamas.â France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd monthâwith nearly 60,000 Palestinians killedâdebates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israelâs security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macronâs bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September â making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestineâs 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macronâs decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a âreward for terrorâ and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it âreckless.â Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it âhistoric.â Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahuâs âGreater Israelâ remarks as âmadnessâ and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iranâs Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 â just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports â and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow.
Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trumpâs unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is âpretty good at avoiding them.â A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake.

Israeli military reports shooting down one drone near Eilat, but the fate of the other five remains unclear.
