Saudi Arabia Advocates for Palestinian State and Technological Progress at Global Conferences

Saudi Cabinet calls for Palestinian statehood and regional stability, while tech leaders predict quantum advancements and robot proliferation.
The Saudi Cabinet is voicing optimism ahead of the Global Alliance meeting in Riyadh, hoping to establish a timeline for a sovereign Palestinian state while supporting a ceasefire and humanitarian efforts in Gaza amidst concerns over Israeli actions.

Transitioning to the realm of technological advancements, Patrice Caine, CEO of Thales Group, spoke at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, predicting that quantum-powered sensors will soon eclipse artificial intelligence in aerospace, highlighting a “second quantum revolution” focused on sensor efficiency over the next decade.

Staying at the initiative, Elon Musk made headlines with his bold forecast that humanoid robots could outnumber humans by 2040. He also addressed the risks of AI and expressed enthusiasm for autonomous vehicles and launching starships to Mars soon, underscoring the rapid advancements in technology.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has condemned the Israeli ban on UNRWA in the Palestinian territories, citing violations of international law during a humanitarian crisis, reaffirming support for Palestinian identity and refugee rights in line with Security Council Resolution 194.

Echoing their steadfast position, the Saudi Cabinet, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, prioritized the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and regional stability at a significant Riyadh conference, underscoring their dedication to peace and humanitarian aid.

And finally, on the global front, Pope Francis reaffirmed a commitment to interfaith dialogue by meeting with a UAE delegation from the Abrahamic Family House, emphasizing their ongoing collaboration rooted in the Document on Human Fraternity, an inspiring reminder of peace and mutual respect.
