On July 16, the Saudi Foreign Secretary told the media that he had not heard of any discussion of the Gulf-Israel defense alliance and that the Kingdom was not involved in such negotiations, so he did not know anything about the matter.
Prince Faisal bin Fahan Saud said the Saudis also did not discuss building a defense alliance with Israel at the summit with Biden. Saudi Arabia's decision to open its airspace to all airlines has no connection to diplomatic relations with Israel and is not a prerequisite for Saudi Arabia to take further steps to bring Saudi Arabia closer to Israel. The information in the media legends is not well documented.
