Saudi Arabia accused former Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of leaking news of his visit to the KSA in 2020, which led to a "dramatic reduction in contacts," Israeli correspondent Barak Ravid said Saturday on Twitter.

In his tweet, Ravid added that Netanyahu's leaks prompted KSA "not to implement their promise to allow Israeli companies to fly in their airspace to India and China."

"During the Lapid period, the Saudis gave their consent to this again," he highlighted.

הודעה ממחלקת העובדות: הסעודים האשימו את נתניהו בהדלפת ביקורו שם בנובמבר 2020. בעקבות כך היה נתק של חצי שנה עם הסעודים וצמצום דרמטי של המגעים. הסעודים החליטו אז לא ליישם את הבטחתם לאפשר לחברות ישראליות לטוס במרחב האווירי שלהם להודו וסין. בתקופת לפיד הסעודים נתנו הסכמתם לכך מחדש

The Kingdom’s history with "Israel" extends far before 2015, when Prince Turki Al-Faisal, the former head of the Saudi General Intelligence Directory, took part in a high-profile panel with the former Israeli Commander of the IOF’s Military Intelligence Directorate, hosted by the General Marshall Fund think tank. Some, like Alexander Bligh, the Chief Scientist at the Israeli Ministry of Science, found that the relationship between the two dates back to 1962.
