Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly flew to Saudi Arabia to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, according to Israeli media, a major breakthrough between the two Middle Eastern nations that have no official ties.
The covert meeting in the Saudi city of Neom on Sunday night was an “incredible achievement,” Education Minister Yoav Gallant said in an interview with Israeli radio on Monday, seeming to confirm reports of the trip despite a denial from a Saudi official and a refusal by Netanyahu to comment on the issue.
