Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud has delayed a planned trip to the West Bank after Israel blocked it, a Saudi source tells Reuters.
Palestinian sources say the visit was at the invitation of the Palestinian Authority to host a Saudi-led delegation of Arab foreign ministers in Ramallah in the West Bank.
The ministers needed approval from Israel, which controls access to the West Bank.
