Israeli plane previously used by Mossad officials lands in Riyadh: Report

A private plane, previously used by officials with the Israeli regime’s Mossad spy agency, reportedly lands in the Saudi capital amid the likelihood of resumption of normalization talks between Riyadh and Tel Aviv.

The regime’s Makan public broadcaster announced the report on Saturday, saying the aircraft had departed from Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied territories earlier in the day.

The plane had been used, over the past months, to carry around Mossad officials as well as officials with the regime’s so-called internal security service, Shin Bet, the report noted.

This time around, the aircraft is suspected to be carrying top Israeli officials, who would be continuing talks on potential normalization of relations between the kingdom and the regime.

Speculations have been rife that the United States is trying to mediate the potential rapprochement.

Explainer: Why US-led Saudi-Israel normalization talks are doomed to fail?

Saudi Arabia’s normalization with the apartheid Israeli regime, mediated by the US, will not only represent another betrayal of the Palestinian cause but is also doomed to fail.

The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco signed US-brokered normalization agreements with the Israeli regime in 2020, drawing condemnations from Palestinians, who slammed the deals as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people.”

Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal said the administration of US President Joe Biden “is pushing for a long-shot diplomatic deal” in the coming months that presses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Palestinian statehood “in exchange for diplomatic recognition by Riyadh.”

Only 2% of Saudis back normalization with Israel: Survey

A survey says only two percent of young Saudi Arabians back normalization of ties with the Israeli regime, as the US is pushing for an agreement between Riyadh and Tel Aviv.

In exchange for “recognizing Israel,” the kingdom would be offered “a more formal” military relationship with Washington, assistance in acquiring “civil nuclear power,” and “a renewed push for a Palestinian state.”

Talks about potential détente between Tel Aviv and Riyadh come while the latter was reported to have put normalization talks “on ice” back in October due to the regime’s ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that has so far claimed the lives of at least 34,356 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
