Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli officials have asked the United States to press Saudi Arabia to allow Israeli airlines flying to the United Arab Emirates to traverse Saudi airspace while flying to the United Arab Emirates, the Ynet news site reports.
Quoting an unnamed official familiar with the matter, the report says Israeli officials reached out to Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, who is set to travel to Saudi Arabia this week.
