Oman is reportedly set to convene a discussion to consider amending a law that mandates boycotting all Israeli entities and individuals.
The report comes from the Arabic-language WAF news agency in Oman, which states that such a meeting of the Omani Shura Council is scheduled for tomorrow.
Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia — which also has no ties with Israel — allowed Israel to use its airspace, but Oman has held out against doing so, which means Israeli flights to Asia must still take a much longer route.
Oman and Israel have no official diplomatic relations, though the country has been floated as a potential subsequent nation to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, following the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
Then-prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is set to return to office in the coming week, visited Oman in 2018.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
