No Saudi official visited Israel: Foreign Ministry

October 22, 2017

RIYADH — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement on Sunday denying some hostile media reports that suggested a Saudi official had made a secret visit to Israel recently.

A source from the ministry said that reports of an official from Saudi Arabia having visited Israel were completely false and had nothing to do with truth, the statement said.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always been transparent in terms of its movements and communications and has nothing to hide in this regard,” the source said, while urging media outlets to check for accuracy and truth in what it publishes.

“No attention will be paid toward such rumors and reports with known agendas. No comment will be made in the future with regard to media reports that are lies and are aggressive toward the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its officials,” the statement added. —
