Palestinian Prime Minister Mustafa and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal discussed Israeli actions, reviewed recent high-level meetings, and emphasized Saudi support for Palestine.

Palestinian Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa held a phone call with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan to discuss recent developments in the Palestinian territories amid what they described as the ongoing Israeli "genocidal war" against the Palestinian people in Gaza and continued aggression in the northern West Bank.

Prime Minister Mustafa emphasized Saudi Arabia's pivotal role in supporting Palestine's diplomatic efforts. He commended the Kingdom, particularly through the Arab Islamic Ministerial Committee, for its contributions to advancing international recognition of a Palestinian state, securing full United Nations membership, and backing Palestine's legal efforts to end the alleged occupation and establish an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
