The Egyptian foreign ministry considered these statements a direct violation of Saudi sovereignty and a blatant breach of international law and the United Nations Charter.
It averred that such reckless Israeli statements undermine Saudi Arabia's security and sovereignty, which Egypt considers a "red line," the crossing of which will not be tolerated.
In addition, the foreign ministry stressed that Saudi Arabia's stability and national security are integral to Egyptian and Arab security and stability and shall not be compromised.
Similarly, Egypt condemned the Israeli statements as infringing the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on their entire national territory in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, based on the 4 June 1967 borders.
On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saudi Arabia had enough land to provide the Palestinians with a state.
"The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have a lot of land over there," the Israeli PM said in TV remarks during his visit to the US.
The Saudi foreign ministry had said Wednesday it will not normalise ties with Israel unless a Palestinian state is established.
"Saudi Arabia will continue its relentless efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that," the Saudi ministry said in a statement.
