Saudi Arabia opened its skies to the planes of the Zionist regime.
News sources reported early Friday morning that Saudi Arabia has opened its skies to “all means of air transportation.”
News sources have reported that Saudi Arabia has opened its skies to “all aircraft” that comply with the country’s air regulations.
According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Civil Aviation announced that Riyadh took this decision “to complete the necessary measures to consolidate Saudi Arabia’s position as a global hub connecting three continents and to strengthen international air communications.”
One of the most important consequences of this decision is that from now on the planes of the Zionist regime will be allowed to use the skies of Saudi Arabia to fly to India and China.
Saudi Arabia’s step was taken hours after the Axios website reported that the Zionist regime has agreed to the general plan on the legal status of two Egyptian islands in the Strait of Tiran on Thursday. This action paves the way for the normalization of relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv.
The Axios website wrote that the agreement, which has been secretly negotiated for several months, will be an important foreign policy achievement for the Joe Biden administration in the West Asian region.
According to the “Camp David” agreement (between Egypt and Israel), Egypt is committed to disarming Tiran and Sanafir and agreeing to Tel Aviv’s request for the deployment of international observers under the command of the United States in these islands.
Saudi Arabia handed over the control of these two islands, which are the gateway to the ports of “Aqaba” and “Eilat”, to Egypt in 1950. Tripartite consultations are now underway to return the ownership of these islands to Saudi Arabia.
Despite public protests in Egypt, the country’s parliament in June 2017 and the Egyptian Supreme Court in March 2018 approved an agreement to transfer the ownership and sovereignty of these two islands to Saudi Arabia; But this agreement also needed the consent and approval of the Zionist regime due to the 1979 treaty.
