DAVOS: Security in the Middle East region depends solely on Palestinians getting their own state, the Saudi ambassador to the US said on Thursday.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos during a Saudi-focused panel discussion, Princess Reema bint Bandar said the Kingdom fully recognized Israel鈥檚 need and desire for security following the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants.

However, that security would not come 鈥渁t the expense鈥� of the safety of the Palestinian people, and there is a need for an immediate ceasefire, she added.

鈥淗ow many more children need to die? How many more limbs need to be lost? How many more parents need to lose their livelihoods? It cannot happen anymore; the Kingdom has condemned violence on both sides,鈥� she said.

She also said the Middle East is united in its calls for peace in Gaza, while acknowledging that the region is going through a volatile period, recognizing the 鈥渄aily shock鈥� of the Gazan people, and adding that it is vital to 鈥渄o the right thing for the future.鈥�

While Israeli forces continue to kill Palestinian civilians, the topic of normalization of relations with Israel could not be discussed, Princess Reema said.

鈥淭he Kingdom has continuously extended a hand for peace, but when we look at the other hand, which has carried the Palestinian people toward statehood, that is a responsibility we take seriously,鈥� she added.

鈥淭he Kingdom鈥檚 policy is a finite, irrevocable path that means 鈥榯oday鈥� for the Palestinian people.鈥�

Saudi ministers Adel Al-Jubeir, Mohammed Al-Jadaan and Faisal Alibrahim also participated in the panel discussion.

Al-Jubeir, the minister of state for foreign affairs, said the world must be pragmatic about the transition away from fossil fuels to clean energy, and that the Kingdom is ideally placed to take a lead on that front.

鈥淲e鈥檙e saying, let鈥檚 produce (oil) efficiently, let鈥檚 produce alternative sources of energy so that we can meet future demands, let鈥檚 see what else we can do in terms of carbon capture, let鈥檚 change attitudes,鈥� he said.

鈥淟et鈥檚 fix this problem. We have the science, we have the resources as a global community, what we need is the will and determination to deal with this issue in a practical, realistic, non-emotional and non-hypocritical manner.鈥�

Al-Jadaan, the Kingdom鈥檚 finance minister, said he remains committed to 鈥渄oubling down鈥� on progressing the Saudi economy in the face of the geopolitical challenges the region faces.

鈥淭he region, and the world, needs a strong 抖阴短视频,鈥� he said. 鈥淚f we are not strong, we are not going to be able to help the region.

鈥淭he outlook, despite all the shocks the world has seen, is actually very positive because we approached this from a position of strength, especially on the fiscal side over the past seven years when we enhanced the way we manage public finance.鈥�
