Saudi Arabia's decision to lift restrictions on all carriers using its airspace is not a sign of any push towards future ties with Israel, the country's foreign minister said on Saturday. "It's not in any way a precursor to any further steps," he said. According to The Times of Israel, the foreign minister's comments contradicted U.S. President Joe Biden's description of the decision as "the first tangible step on the path of what I hope will eventually be a broader normalization of relations" between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
