Saudi Arabia is punishing Israeli leaders after broadcasting allegations of a meeting between Prince Muhammad bin Salman and Netanyahu
The Kingdom always affirms that there will be no normalization before the Palestinian issue is completely resolved ... and that it is the owner of the Arab initiative and will not abandon it.
The Elaph website revealed that Saudi Arabia is punishing Israel after an alleged meeting between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was leaked.
An Israeli official admitted to “Elaf” that “the situation with Saudi Arabia is different. The Saudis are completely boycotting the Israelis, and they do not respond to attempts to contact them.”
Even indirect contacts through the Americans have completely stopped due to Netanyahu’s office leaking allegations about a meeting he had with Prince Muhammad bin Salman in the Red Sea city of Neom.
The “Elaph” website stated, “Saudi Arabia is punishing Israeli leaders by stopping all forms of security communication and coordination through the Americans. This has led to differences between the security and political levels in Israel, as the security level looks at the Israeli-Saudi relations with great interest, and considers them part of Israel’s national interests.” While the political leadership runs for everyone to talk about alleged relations here or a meeting there, as the source said, which harms Israel and not Saudi Arabia.
The source pointed out that “the American pressure exerted on Saudi Arabia to sign a peace agreement did not succeed. Therefore, the deliberate diversion methods, including allegations and others, will not succeed in pressuring Saudi Arabia to normalize,” noting that “the Saudis will find the right time to establish public relations with them.” Israel, but not before progress on the Palestinian issue, therefore Saudi Arabia is the owner of the Arab initiative and will not abandon it. “
He added, “We believe that this step is the correct movement that must be followed to send the correct signal if we want the political track to move forward.”
