Saudi Arabia was still carrying the burden of restrictions on air travel. But with President Joe Biden’s arrival, Saudi Arabia has uplifted all conditions on every airline. Everyone lately appreciated this welcoming gesture towards Israel by the Saudi Kingdom. President Joe Biden will land in Saudi Arabia today and meet the Crown Prince for the first time in talks about this recent reform.
Saudi Arabia Civil Aviation Authority Opens All Carriers
The US leader applauded the “revolutionary” move, the newest accommodative action by Riyadh toward the Jewish state. It continues to reject despite Israel’s persistent efforts to forge relations with Arab nations.
The Kingdom chose the approach to support the initiatives designed to strengthen its status as a global centre spanning three countries.
The President’s long-term, ethical diplomacy with Saudi Arabia, which culminated in his visit today, contributed to this conclusion.

Before Biden acceded to Israel at the beginning of his Middle East trip on Wednesday, Washington suggested that more Arab countries might take action to pursue relations with Israel. This ignited speculation as to Riyadh’s actions. That they would budge from its steadfast stance of waiting to practice set bilateral cooperation until the dispute with the Palestinians gets cleared up.

A Great Impact Of Abraham Accords
Soon after the Abraham Accords were made public in 2020, Saudi kingdom permitted an Israeli plane to fly over. It was heading to Abu Dhabi and declared that UAE aircraft to “all countries” were allowed to overfly the Kingdom.
Under the US-mediated Abraham Accords, Bahrain and Morocco joined the UAE in 2020. It established diplomatic ties with Israel. The monarchy made no protests at the time. However, commentators have emphasised that any initial advances are sure to be gradual and that Riyadh will not commit to official ties. Neither during Biden’s visit nor while King Salman, 86, still governs.
