Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir says his country’s suspicious approach to Hamas has not changed despite a visit by a delegation from the Palestinian Islamist group.
Jubeir tells reporters that after a meeting with his Egyptian counterpart that the Hamas talks were not an official visit, but rather a meeting on the sidelines of a pilgrimage.
“The visit of Hamas to the Saudi kingdom made by Khaled Mashaal and his colleagues [was a] visit to the holy city of Mecca … The position of the kingdom with regards to Hamas has not changed,” Jubeir said.
