Saudi Arabia announces Israeli citizens are not allowed to visit kingdom

Saudi Arabia has announced that Israeli citizens are not allowed to visit the kingdom. This decision comes after Israel's Interior Ministry on Sunday said Israeli citizens, both Muslims and Jews, have the right to travel to Saudi Arabia for religious and business visits.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal



bin Farhan told that Israelis are not welcome at the moment in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam's holiest sites.

Like most Arab countries, Saudi Arabia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. Israel has peace deals with only two Arab countries Jordan and Egypt.
