Saudi Arabia opens airspace to Israel for the first time
The UK Telegraph ^ | Mar 2018 | Foreign Staff

Saudi Arabia opened its airspace for the first time to a commercial flight to Israel with the inauguration on Thursday of an Air India route between New Delhi and Tel Aviv.

Air India 139 landed at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport after a flight of over 7-1/2 hours, marking a diplomatic shift for Riyadh that Israel says was fuelled by shared concern over Iranian influence in the region.

"This is a really historic day that follows two years of very, very intensive work," Israeli Tourism Minister Yariv Levin said in a radio interview, adding that using Saudi airspace cut travel time to India by around two hours and would reduce ticket prices.

President Trumps speech to the Arab Princes of almost a year ago now has far reaching effects.

Never thought to see this before the Messiah.

Not tired of winning. Thank the LORD God of Israel for this movement and may He who inhabits eternity rebuke the adversary and hold up the feeble knees, continuing His mercies and using this President and Vice President, Donald Trump and Michael Pence by the power of His Spirit,

This cannot be sitting well with the clergy. I hope the MBS has adequate security.

Ezekiel 38 says differently. Russia, Turkey and Iran will attack Israel and God will supernaturally save Israel.
