Watan – In a significant diplomatic gesture, Saudi Ambassador to Palestine, Naif bin Bandar Al-Sudairy, during his official visit, chanced upon Mohammed Adib Abu Ras, a young Palestinian with a fervent admiration for the Saudi football club, Al-Nassr. The ambassador’s encounter, shared on a prominent social media platform, resonated deeply, transcending borders and politics.

Reacting swiftly, Saudi Prince Waleed bin Badr extended an open invitation to Mohammed and his family, not only to witness an Al-Nassr match in Saudi Arabia but also to partake in the spiritual journey of Umrah in Mecca.

This diplomatic outreach, led by Ambassador Al-Sudairy, signifies Saudi Arabia’s commitment to fostering ties with Palestine. During his visit, Al-Sudairy formally presented his credentials to key Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas.

Reaffirming Saudi Arabia’s stance, Al-Sudairy underscored the kingdom’s dedication to the Palestinian cause and the vision of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem at its heart.

This visit, a first since the 1993 Oslo Accords, symbolizes a renewed effort to bridge diplomatic gaps and strengthen ties between Saudi Arabia and Palestine.
