Saudi Arabia says it will allow flights 'from all countries' to cross its skies to reach the United Arab Emirates, after israel's flag carrier El Al used it twice to fly directly to the UAE and back.
The Saudi Press Agency announcement on Wednesday comes just days after Saudi Arabia allowed the first direct Israeli commercial passenger flight to use its airspace to reach the UAE, signaling acquiescence for a breakthrough deal by the United Arab Emirates to normalize relations with Israel.
