"We want to be part of the Abraham Accords. But we also want to be sure that we secure a clear path to a two-state solution," Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler said in the Oval Office alongside Trump.
"We're going to work on that, to be sure that we can prepare the right situation as soon as possible," he added.
Pressed by Trump, who said that his guest had a "very good feeling" for the Abraham Accords, the prince said: "We want peace for the Israelis. We want peace for the Palestinians."
"We want them to coexist peacefully in the region, and we will do our best to reach that date."
The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco in 2020 became the first Arab states in decades to normalize relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords, hailed by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a signature diplomatic triumph.
Netanyahu has long opposed a two-state solution, despite a lukewarm endorsement of Palestinian aspirations in a ceasefire agreement in Gaza pushed by Trump.
Netanyahu leads a coalition with far-right supporters who not only reject Palestinian statehood but also want Israel to annex the West Bank.
