RIYADH (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said Israelis were not welcome to visit the kingdom after Israel decreed that Saudi citizens could visit its territory under certain circumstances, CNN reported on Monday.
“Our policy is fixed. We do not have relations with the state of Israel and Israeli passport holders cannot visit the kingdom at the current time,” the U.S. broadcaster quoted Prince Faisal bin Farhan as saying.
