An Israeli flight landed in Saudi Arabia for the primary time yesterday morning, Israeli Public Broadcaster Kan reported.
In keeping with the Occasions of Israel, this got here solely in the future after the primary flight from Saudi Arabia landed in Israel.
Saudi Arabia and Israel don’t have official relations, however they’ve been exchanging secret visits and holding talks.
Whereas there are no business flights between the 2 nations, this, based on the Israeli media, is a reflection of the progress being made within the relationship between the 2 sides.
Final 12 months, the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco agreed to normalise ties with Israel. This led to Saudi Arabia opening its airspace to Israeli carriers on path to the UAE and different locations. This decreased flight occasions from Israel to India by some two hours.
