AhlulBayt News Agency: A private plane, previously used by officials with the Israeli regime’s Mossad spy agency, reportedly lands in the Saudi capital amid the likelihood of resumption of normalization talks between Riyadh and Tel Aviv.
The regime’s Makan public broadcaster announced the report on Saturday, saying the aircraft had departed from Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied territories earlier in the day.
The plane had been used, over the past months, to carry around Mossad officials as well as officials with the regime’s so-called internal security service, Shin Bet, the report noted.
This time around, the aircraft is suspected to be carrying top Israeli officials, who would be continuing talks on potential normalization of relations between the kingdom and the regime.
Speculations have been rife that the United States is trying to mediate the potential rapprochement.
The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco signed US-brokered normalization agreements with the Israeli regime in 2020, drawing condemnations from Palestinians, who slammed the deals as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people.”
Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal said the administration of US President Joe Biden “is pushing for a long-shot diplomatic deal” in the coming months that presses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Palestinian statehood “in exchange for diplomatic recognition by Riyadh.”
In exchange for “recognizing Israel,” the kingdom would be offered “a more formal” military relationship with Washington, assistance in acquiring “civil nuclear power,” and “a renewed push for a Palestinian state.”
Talks about potential détente between Tel Aviv and Riyadh come while the latter was reported to have put normalization talks “on ice” back in October due to the regime’s ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that has so far claimed the lives of at least 34,356 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
