According to Saudi Arabia, there is a risk that the statement is now undermining the entire peace process.

"It represents a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and the principles of international law," the Saudi court said in a statement issued by the SPA news agency.

Following the statement, Saudi Arabia also announced that it would like to have an emergency foreign minister's meeting within the Islamic Conference, the OIC.

"It's unfortunate"

During Tuesday's News, Sweden's new Foreign Minister Ann Linde (S), who was also critical of the statement, participated.

- I think it's unfortunate. As both the EU and the international community say, it is against international law, she says.
