Saudi-Israel relations; Initiation of contacts at Foreign Ministerial level

Tel Aviv: After Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his desire to meet with Saudi Arabia, his Foreign Minister Eli Cohen will soon go to Riyadh on an official visit.

According to the World News Agency, in a conversation with Israeli military radio, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen claimed that another Arab country is going to restore diplomatic relations with us.

Eli Cohen did not name the Arab country despite the host's insistence.

Many Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, have restored diplomatic relations with Israel, but Saudi Arabia made it conditional on a Palestinian state solution.

The Israeli Foreign Minister also revealed in the interview that his visit to Saudi Arabia has been decided, but the date has not yet been determined. Officials of the two countries are jointly looking after the arrangements for the visit.

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said that Israel has no enmity with Saudi Arabia, but Iran is definitely the biggest enemy of Saudi Arabia. If you can have relations with Iran, why not with Israel?

The foreign minister further said that after meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, American Senator Linze Graham also spoke to the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and discussed Israeli-Saudi Arabian relations.

It should be remembered that in the meeting with the American senator, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his desire to restore relations with Saudi Arabia.
