An Israeli official has said the country "will not cooperate" with a visit to the West Bank by a group of Arab foreign ministers, after a Saudi diplomatic source said the kingdom's top diplomat would travel to Ramallah.

"The Palestinian Authority - which to this day refuses to condemn the October 7 massacre - intended to host in Ramallah a provocative meeting of foreign ministers from Arab countries to discuss the promotion of the establishment of a Palestinian state," the Israeli official said in a statement issued late Friday.

"Israel will not cooperate with such moves aimed at harming it and its security."
