Obamas opålitlighet har åtminstone åstadkommit en sak - att Israel och Saudiarabien har kommit närmare varann. För första gången har ett saudiskt passagerarplan landat i Israel för service. Ett litet men viktigt steg för närmandet men inget officiellt. Åtminstone gallskriker inte Israel på Ryssland och Saudiarabien, som utrikesblondinen i Sverige.
In a first, a Saudi Arabian passenger plane landed at Ben Gurion Airport Tuesday night for technical maintenance.
The aircraft, an Airbus A330, arrived from Brussels with no passengers on board, according to a report in Ynet news Wednesday.
The aircraft is owned by a European company and leased to Saudia — Saudi Arabia’s government-owned national airline.
As per the directions of the company, the
plane landed in Israel for routine upkeep by Bedek, an Israeli company
contracted by Israel Aircraft Industries
An IAI spokesperson confirmed
the plane’s arrival and said that the “ongoing and routine maintenance”
of the Airbus passenger plane was part of the services Ben Gurion
provided to the aircraft manufacturer.
Like most Arab countries, Saudi Arabia does
not officially recognize Israel, and there are no direct or indirect
flights between the two countries.
