Saudi source denies reports that commerce minister met Israeli counterpart
A Saudi official has refuted online claims that the country's Commerce Minister, Majid Al-Qasabi, met with an Israeli official in Abu Dhabi, as per the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The SPA clarified that a video showing Al-Qasabi was actually from an encounter with his Nigerian counterpart before the WTO's thirteenth Ministerial Conference began.
During that time, someone approached Al-Qasabi to introduce himself as Israel's Economy Minister, an identity Al-Qasabi was unaware of until then.
Furthermore, SPA reiterated Saudi Arabia's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and consistent support for the Palestinians in their conflict with Israel.
