Relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia are heating up: Recently, a very senior Israeli official flew to the Arab country, met with senior officials in the kingdom and agreed on cooperation on security and other issues. Background: Visit to Biden in Israel and Saudi Arabia Attempts are being made to reach more agreements and even to issue a public statement
A very senior official in Israel recently met with senior officials in Saudi Arabia, And coordinated with his Saudi counterparts a series of security and other collaborations. This was revealed last weekend in ‘News 12’.
The senior held a series of meetings, including at the Riyadh Palace, and reached agreements on collaborations. The secret visit comes against the backdrop of warming relations between the two countries, and the advance of the common enemy of a nuclear bomb, Iran.
Attempts are constantly being made to make more connections and perhaps eventually also to come out in a public announcement, which will make the relationship more formal. The meetings come ahead of US President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel and Saudi Arabia in a few weeks.
This is Biden’s first visit to Israel since he took office as president, and the United States attaches importance to this, given the close ties between the two countries.
