The news agency Wap which operates inside Oman reported on Sunday that on Monday the country's Islamic council will discuss changing the first clause of the law which boycotts Israel.

In recent months, Israel has been pressuring Oman to allow flights from Israel to pass through its airspace. This comes after Saudi Arabia made a similar concession last July.

In October 2018, then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a surprise visit to Oman, and it seemed there was a warming of ties between the countries.
