Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has declared that Israel has the right to its own land alongside Palestinians.
In an interview with the US-based The Atlantic magazine, the 32 year old heir to the Saudi throne declared: "I believe that each people, anywhere, has a right to live in their peaceful nation."
The crown prince said that "there are a lot of interests" his country shares with Israel.
Al Jazeera's Senior Political Analyst Marwan Bishara talks about why the timing of the statement was suspicious.
