Saudi Arabia has agreed to end all economic boycotts of Israel, allowing the World Trade Organization (WTO) Friday to admit the kingdom as its 149th member, diplomats said. According to the Wshington Times, American and Israeli officials confirmed the boycott issue had been resolved. "I am very satisfied with the fact that Saudi Arabia has complied with all the rules of the WTO," said Itzhak Levanon, Israel's envoy to the WTO. "I hope it opens the door to a better future on the horizon in the region," the Israeli envoy added.
The WTO's ruling general council, which includes the United States and Israel, endorsed the Saudi entry during a special session Friday.
To join, the oil rich kingdom agreed to cancel all economic boycotts and it pledged not to resort to any future discriminatory trade measures against the Israel, diplomats said.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Re: Saudi Arabia agrees to end economic boycotts of 'Israel'
it means that the US have got the saudi gvt to follow them again. by doing this they have chosen to join their allies even if it means hurting their brothers (palestinians)
theyve accepted 'israel' now we'll see they accept more of 'israel' further pushing palestine out-
thats what i think anyway
