Zionist media reported today (Tuesday) that Saudi Arabia has closed its airspace to Israeli flights.
Zionist Channel 13 television announced that the flights of Yasser Airlines from Ben Gurion Airport to Dubai were canceled due to the closure of the Saudi skies.
Saudi officials approved Israeli commercial flights to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates over Saudi Arabia in late November.
According to media reports at the time, the Saudis agreed to include a green light for an Israeli plane to cross Saudi airspace following pressure from former US President Donald Trump.
The Israeli state network “Kun” announced at the time that Saudi officials agreed to issue a permit for Israeli flights to Dubai after “Jared Kouchner” intervened.
The Zionist media reported that the flight route to Dubai was reduced from seven hours to less than three hours with the permission and consent of the Saudis to open the Saudi skies to Israeli passenger planes.
A senior Trump administration official had said on December 3, 1999 that Riyadh had agreed to fly Israeli commercial aircraft following talks between Jared Kouchner, the son-in-law and senior adviser to President Donald Trump, and Saudi officials.
The Israeli website “I24 NEWS” also quoted an American source as saying that the issue of Israeli airlines flying over Saudi Arabia to the UAE and Bahrain was resolved after talks between Saudi’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kouchner and US envoy to the Middle East Avi Berkowitz with Saudi officials.
Earlier, on the first visit of the US-Zionist delegation from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia allowed the plane carrying the delegation to fly over its skies. Riyadh and Manama then opened their airspace to Zionist planes.
