This comes days after about 20 American Jewish leaders recently visited the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The military affairs correspondent for the Israeli Kan channel, Itay Blumental, revealed that a private airplane arrived at Ben Gurion Airport, coming from the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
In a tweet, Blumental pointed out that an executive plane named (CS-CHE) arrived Friday at Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Palestine coming from Saudi Arabia and had a "diplomatic" stop in Amman, Jordan.
"I can't explain. Something is going on," he commented.

This comes days after the Yedioth Ahronoth Israeli website published information about a recent visit done by a delegation of about 20 American Jewish leaders to Riyadh.
According to the website, the delegation held a series of meetings with Saudi officials, including at least six ministers and senior representatives from the Saudi Royal family.
The website said the delegation visited Riyadh after receiving an invitation from the Saudis and with the blessing of US President Joe Biden's administration.
Their visit was preceded by a stop in the UAE with an aim to strengthen the normalization agreements.
American-Jewish businessman Phil Rosen, a member of the delegation, considered that "the Saudis are preparing their people for normalization with "Israel." They see "Israel" as a great power, and they admire its ability to defend itself in the region."
Last April, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan said “The normalization of "Israel’s" status within the region would bring tremendous benefits to the region as a whole," and "would be extremely helpful economically, socially and from a security perspective.”
In an interview with CNN, bin Farhan said that concluding any deal on normalizing ties with "Israel" depends on the progress of the "peace process" between Israelis and Palestinians.
