Lifting of flight restrictions unrelated to Israel ties: Saudi FM
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – (AFP):
Saudi Arabia’s decision to lift restrictions on airlines using its airspace is not a sign of any push towards future ties with Israel, the kingdom’s foreign minister said Saturday.
“This has nothing to do with diplomatic ties with Israel,” Prince Faisal bin Farhan told a news conference, adding, “It’s not in any way a precursor to any further steps.”
