Dozens of Israeli businessmen travelled to #SaudiArabia w/ Israeli passports. Saudi - #Israel cooperation is not only economic but also covers security and intelligence levels. It is about time to stop hiding this ambiguity and long-term relationship and Saudi support to Israel.
#SaudiArabia allowed #Israel/i airlines to use its airspace for flights to and from the #UAE and #Bahrain. But Israel has not yet received such access for flights to #India, #Thailand and #China, which as a result are significantly longer than they need be.
In late 2020, former PM Benjamin Netanyahu, ex-Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, and then-US secretary of state Mike Pompeo visited the city of Neom to meet with the crown prince Mohamad Bin Salman, in the first known high-level meeting between an Israeli and a Saudi leader.

Due to the inaccurate and ridiculous narrative around, I'll share the bullet points in the article showing that the "#Ukraine is far from feeding the world" as written in my article today:
#Russia - not #Ukraine - is the primary source of wheat globally.
The world doesn’t depend on Ukrainian wheat. The war added to an already existing problem.
Ukraine is countering the sea blockade and has agreed with Lithuania, Latvia and Poland to export its wheat.+
#Lebanon parliamentary elections: #Hezbollah and its allies, including the Christian of @tayyar_official won 60 seats at the Parliament, while the allies of #SaudiArabia and the #US, notwithstanding millions of dollars spent to win the majority, won 42 seats.
For more than 12 years, #Hezbollah had 13 MPs and has always won 12-13 MPs in every parliamentary election. Therefore, saying "Hezbollah lost the majority seats at the parliament" is similar to saying Neo-Nazis were evacuated not surrendered in #Azovstal.
#Hezbollah's Shia partner, the AMAL movement, has 17 seats (as agreed with Hezbollah for over a decade) & continues winning 16-17 seats in every election.
The fight was on the #Christian seat: the pro-US-Saudi-Israel group versus the US-sanctioned group led by @tayyar_official
The battle of #Mariupol and #Azovstal is over: The #Ukraine army command has confirmed in its social networks that its servicemen - a large portion of them r members of the Neo-Nazi ‘Azov regiment’ - holed up at the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol have been ordered to surrender.
#Ukraine neo-Nazi group uniform features Nazi insignia and its members have tattoos, the swastika. Its commander Andrey Biletsky believes it’s #Ukraine’s mission to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade against Semite-led Untermenschen [inferior humans]”.
The first stage of surrender was completed: 264 soldiers left #Azovstal. There are now 53 wounded servicemen in a hospital in Novoazovsk and 211 soldiers in Yelenovka, both of which are part of the #Donetsk People’s Republic.
By 1945, #US’s war to contain #Japan’s Asian expansionism, retaliate for Pearl Harbor & drop 2 nuclear bombs to impose its World hegemony had become a project to eliminate European empires, lead global economic order, colonise Europe & the ME and keep them away from #Moscow.
The world is definitely far from being a safer place with #Finald and #Sweden joining the military organisation @NATO, ending decades of neutrality.
#EU leaders are risking the continent's safety, provoking & challenging #Russia instead of engaging in a serious dialogue.
#Russia doesn't need to confront @NATO almost 2 million soldiers w/ classical weapons when & if confrontation wld be the last way out. This is the beginning of the end of stability.
For what? To protect the #US unipolar hegemony of the world.
#Israel sniper killed @AlJazeera long-time correspondent in Palestine Shireen Abu Aq'la with a bullet in the head during an Israeli raid in the Palestinian camp of Jenin this morning.
There was no gunfire in the area but a sniper shot the dual US-Palestinian national journalist, born in #Jerusalem#Palestine. No clashes were nearby.
Will the @joebiden administration move against this murder and other crimes by #Israel?
Since the year 2000, #Israel killed 28 journalists while exerting their profession. All Israeli crimes r unaccountable according to the (non-existing) International law.
All, like @ShireenNasri that was assassinated today, were wearing a visible PRESS sign when shot and killed.
