Saudi Arabia Hosts Hamas Delegation, Dims Israeli Hopes for Ties
TL;DR Summary
A senior delegation from Hamas, including its politburo chief, is set to visit Saudi Arabia in a major development as Israel's hopes of forging official ties with Riyadh appear to dwindle further. The delegation will reportedly pay a pilgrimage to Islam's holiest site in Mecca and try to mend Hamas's relationship with Riyadh, which has been frosty since 2007. Saudi Arabia's relationship with Hamas has been cold and tense, and the kingdom even arrested many people with ties to the jihadist group, which rules the Gaza Strip and openly seeks Israel's destruction.
