Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan, affirmed in a phone call on Thursday that the political relations between the two countries are "on the right track and expanding" within the framework of the rapprochement between the two nations.

"Iran supports Saudi Arabia's initiative to convene a meeting of leaders of Islamic and Arab countries with the aim of ending the war in Gaza and providing humanitarian aid," Amir-Abdollahian said.

The Iranian Foreign Minister also stressed that "the United States has been talking for 100 days about not expanding the war, but in practice, it does not show any seriousness in stopping the war and genocide in Gaza."

In turn, bin Farhan emphasized to his Iranian counterpart that it is necessary to continue exerting as much pressure as possible to end the war on Gaza.

Bin Farhan also noted that relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran are "evolving, and we are still awaiting President Raisi's official visit to the Kingdom."

Amir-Abdollahian addressed during a visit to Riyadh last month the rising implications in Gaza and the West Bank as the Israeli genocide gets more and more aggressive, urging the Saudi FM to join efforts to force the IOF out of Gaza, establish an immediate cessation of aggression, as well as deliver aid that Palestine is in dire need of. 

Iran-Saudi relations push 'Israel' out

Israeli media debated that the Saudi-Iran rapprochement inflicted harm on "Israel" and its interests in the region. Additionally, it controverted Israeli attempts to isolate Iran on the diplomatic level in West Asia and the world. The rapprochement also distanced the kingdom from normalizing ties with "Israel", Israeli media reported.

In a similar context, Israeli media highlighted that the US has been increasing its attempts to mediate an agreement between "Israel" and Saudi Arabia in recent months, with Washington holding frequent meetings with both sides despite repeated assurances by the kingdom that it will not normalize ties with the Israeli occupation until a Palestinian state is established.
