US EditionIsrael blocks Ramallah meeting with Arab ministers, Israeli official says
- A ministerial delegation headed by Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Faisal Farhan, was scheduled to visit Ramallah in the West Bank on Sunday for discussions with leaders of the Palestinian Authority.

- The delegation included foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and Turkey, aiming to promote a two-state solution amid ongoing Gaza conflict and regional tensions.
- An Israeli official described the planned meeting as provocative and stated that Israel would not support actions it perceives as threatening its security, while Palestinian ambassador Mazen Ghoneim emphasized that the Palestinian issue remains a key concern for Arabs and Muslims.
- The canceled visit highlights growing backing from Saudi Arabia for the Palestinian leadership and adds complexity to efforts aimed at advancing Saudi-Israeli normalization, especially as diplomatic activities intensify ahead of a June conference focused on Palestinian statehood.
