But the Saudi foreign minister denied the Israeli reports. Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud wrote on Twitter:"I have seen press reports about a purported meeting between HRH the Crown Prince and Israeli officials during the recent visit by @SecPompeo. No such meeting occurred. The only officials present were American and Saudi."
For generations, Arab nations have refused to engage with the Israeli government until it ends it occupation of Palestinian land. But a new generation of Gulf leaders are shifting away from the Palestinian issue, which has proved intractable. The Saudi position is particularly awkward, given its ruling royal king's status as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina, the two holiest sites in Islam. To officially abandon the Palestinians and their claim to the holy city of Jerusalem would be hugely damaging to the Saudi reputation among Muslim nations.
the kingdom also denied the murder of Khashoggi
There was no meeting. The fake media, that claimed there was, used “anonymous source” like they usually do to start a lie.
