Saudi envoy meets with Palestinian PM Mohammed Shtayyeh in Ramallah

Saudi envoy Nayef al-Sudairi holds talks with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

On 26 September, Saudi Arabia sent its first delegation in three decades to the occupied West Bank to reassure Palestinians it will defend their cause even as it forges closer ties with Israel.

On the same day, Israel’s tourism minister Haim Katz arrived in Riyadh for the first such high-level public visit to the oil-rich kingdom.
