RIYADH, May 25 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia's position on the Palestinian issue remains unchanged, a Saudi source told Al Arabiya TV on Monday.

The source affirmed the need for "an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state."

The remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Muslim-majority and regional countries to normalize relations with Israel and join the Abraham Accords.

In a social media post, Trump said leaders of several countries had discussed efforts to end the war with Iran, adding that these countries should, "at a minimum," simultaneously sign onto the accords.

The Abraham Accords, brokered by the United States in 2020 during Trump's first term, saw Israel normalize relations with several Arab countries.

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said it would not normalize relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
