Saudi Arabia halts diplomatic talks with Israel

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has put a pause on ongoing talks to reestablish diplomatic relations with Israel.

As reported by foreign media, Saudi Arabia has suspended diplomatic talks with Israel, citing Israel's successive attacks on Palestine and the crisis in Gaza as the reason for the halt.

The suspension has been conveyed to the United States.

Sources mentioned by Reuters and Bloom news agencies reveal that Saudi Arabia is not terminating the negotiations but has decided to halt them temporarily until the ongoing conflict in Palestine ceases.

Additionally, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has held discussions regarding the Palestine issue with the Iranian President.

It's important to note that the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas have led to the tragic loss of nearly 2,000 Palestinian lives, including over 500 children, due to Israeli airstrikes.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health has reported over 6,388 people injured in the Israeli bombings.
