Israel and Saudi Arabia have been holding US-brokered talks on a number of agreements that could help clear the path to eventual diplomatic ties between the countries, the Wall Street Journal reports.
According to the report, one such agreement would allow greater rights for commercial flights from Israel to fly over Saudi Arabia in exchange for Jerusalem approving the transfer of two Red Sea islands from Egyptian-control to Riyadh.
