The Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Jordan, Abdulrahman Al-Owhali emphasized on Sunday that the Kingdom is sticking to its policies of defending Arab and Islamic interests.  

 

In a press interview published in Amman Sunday, Al-Owhali said that Riyadh does not compromise on its principles while opposing the Israeli occupation until the establishment of the Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.  

 

He denied any competition between Saudi Arabia and Egypt over a role in the region, stressing that the Kingdom supports the current efforts for peace, according to the resolutions of the international legitimacy. Al-Owhali further said that Israel rejects the principle of bringing about peace in the region, adding that it works hard to abort peaceful efforts. (Albawaba.com)
