Saudi Arabia allows Israel to use airspace
Saudi Arabia has allowed Israel to use its airspace.
Israeli commercial flights to the United Arab Emirates have been allowed. Riyadh gave the approval after a meeting of Saudi officials with Jared Kushner, the Jewish son-in-law of US President Trump.
Reuters quoted a source as saying in a report on Monday.
As a result of this permission, Israel will now have the opportunity to use Saudi airspace regularly on the Israel-UAE route.
“We have been able to persuade them on this issue,” a Trump administration official told Reuters on Monday.
Israel’s first commercial flight to the UAE is scheduled to depart on Tuesday morning.
The country was allowed to use Saudi airspace a few hours earlier.
It is learned that an agreement has been signed between the two countries.
