The Arab Parliament on Saturday expressed appreciation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s decision to appoint Saudi ambassador to Jordan, Nayef bin Bandar Al-Sudairi, as non-resident ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the State of Palestine and as consul general in the city of Jerusalem. The Arab Parliament said that the Saudi decision is an important political step towards supporting the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian Authority. President of the Arab Parliament, Adel Al Asoomi, urged countries around the world to take similar steps to support the legitimate and full rights of the Palestinian people, foremost of which is the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
