Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan is set to visit Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, marking the first official visit by a Saudi foreign minister to the Palestinian territories since Israel’s occupation of the area in 1967.

A source at the Palestinian embassy in Riyadh confirmed to Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Friday that a ministerial delegation led by Prince Faisal will travel to Ramallah on Sunday. Further details regarding the itinerary or expected meetings have not yet been disclosed.

The visit is seen as a significant diplomatic gesture amid heightened regional tensions and renewed international efforts to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Prince Faisal is expected to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and other senior officials to discuss bilateral relations and ongoing initiatives to support the Palestinian cause. The visit underscores growing regional engagement aimed at achieving a just and lasting solution to the decades-long conflict.
