Faisal said that as for Palestinian-Israeli conflict, GCC States notice that the deadlock of the peace process is not in the interest of the efforts for seeking a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the conflict, noting that Israel shoulders the responsibility for the impasse as a result of its continued illegal and unilateral policies, intensification of its settlement plans in occupied territories, and its attempts to change geographical and demographic characteristics in Palestinian territories and occupied Al-Quds. He stressed the importance of implementation of the Resolution adopted by Human Rights Council of the United Nations last March to form an independent mission to investigate the facts about the repercussions of Israeli settlements on civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Palestinian people. Prince Saud Al-Faisal asserted that the conflict will not be solved without Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian territories to the borders of 1967, and the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian State.
