TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Rai Al-Youm newspaper, prominent Saudi figures close to the office of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have recently sent messages to political circles in Egypt and Jordan, stating that Riyadh's position opposing Trump's plan against the Gaza Strip remains firm.

These figures emphasized that Saudi Arabia would not normalize relations with the Zionist regime before the establishment of a Palestinian state. They have urged Egypt and Jordan to interact with the Zionists and Americans based on this same principle.

Rai Al-Youm wrote: For the first time, it appears that Saudi Arabia is seeking financial support for the Palestinian people to counter the plan of forcibly relocating them from the Gaza Strip. It is reported that Riyadh has informed Jordan and Egypt that bin Salman personally supports these countries' positions against Trump's plan.

Bin Salman's advisors have stressed to political figures in Jordan and Egypt that his good relations with Trump should not be exploited against the Palestinian cause. It has also been reported that Saudi media, including the Al-Akhbariya network, which reflects Riyadh's official policies, has adopted a news line against the Zionist regime. This network has unprecedentedly described Netanyahu as a "son of Zionists." While Saudi Arabia's relations with Hamas have not been good, it seems that at this stage, these relations have entered a new phase, and Saudi Arabia may fundamentally change its stance toward the Palestinian Resistance.

Saudi social media users have also called for improving these relations. Saudi newspapers, including Okaz and Riyadh, have addressed Saudi Arabia's positions against Trump's plan.
