Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, addressed concerns over the possibility of increased conflict between Israel and Iran with the new U.S. administration at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He expressed optimism about President Trump's approach and underscored the importance of avoiding war in the region.

Fears of conflict surged following a deadly Hamas raid on Israel, leading to a comprehensive military response from Israel against Iranian-backed forces.
