Virtual Meeting Hosts Israeli, Saudi Foreign Ministers

The Israeli news site I24 reported that a virtual summit hosted by the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was held last week to discuss the omicron COVID-19 variant, with the participation of foreign ministers from several countries reportedly including Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The participation of Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in such proceedings is considered unusual as the two states don’t hold diplomatic relations.

Despite neither country confirming the kingdom’s participation, a Saudi official told CNN that Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud was present at the virtual summit.

The statement issued by US State Department spokesman Ned Price said that Blinken spoke with “several foreign ministers and representatives of regional organizations involved in the response to the omicron variant.”
