Aug 31, 20202:53Now PlayingAn Israeli airplane crossed through Saudi Arabian airspace for the first time on Monday as it carried a delegation of Israeli and American officials, including senior White House advisers Jared Kushner and Robert O’Brien, to a historic round of peace talks in the United Arab Emirates.
The kingdom allowed the breakthrough El Al Israel Airlines flyover after the UAE and Israel agreed this month to establish ties -- a first between the Jewish state and a Gulf Arab nation. Talks during this first, 24-hour round will focus on economic issues, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.
The opening of Saudi skies, closed because the countries have never had diplomatic relations, reflects the growing willingness by Gulf Arab states to publicly recognize their warming ties with Israel. At the root of this willingness to end decades of hostility is a shared antipathy toward Iran, which Israel and the Gulf Arab states deem a threat to their national security.
