Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia says Israel has a 'right' to its land as he becomes the first Arab leader to ever make such an acknowledgement

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was speaking to the Atlantic magazine
Comments come despite Israel and Saudi Arabia not having diplomatic relations
Both nations see Iran as a major threat, have been improving ties behind scenes
Crown Prince compares Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to Hitler


The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has stated that Israel has a 'right' to a homeland in comments that go further than any other Arab leader.

Saudi Arabia and Israel still have no formal diplomatic relations, but behind the scenes, improvements in their ties have accelerated in recent years.

In an interview while on a trip to the United States, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also compares the Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to Hitler



Both countries see Iran as their biggest outside threat and the United States as their key ally, and both see danger from armed Islamist extremists.

Israel's conflict with the Palestinians has long proved an obstacle to a full rapprochement, however, as Riyadh still supports their claim to sovereignty.

But now Crown Prince Salman - speaking to the editor-in-chief of US news magazine The Atlantic - appeared to put the rival land claims on an equal footing.

In the interview recognises the right of the Jewish people to have a nation-state of their own next to a Palestinian state - as right that no Arab leader has ever acknowledged.

The prince was asked by Jeffrey Goldberg whether the 'Jewish people have a right to a nation-state in at least part of their ancestral homeland?'

'I believe that each people, anywhere, has a right to live in their peaceful nation,' said the prince, who is on a three-week US tour.

'I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own land,' he added.

'But we have to have a peace agreement to assure the stability for everyone and to have normal relations.'
