The Saudi foreign minister denied such a meeting taking place
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled overnight by a civilian jet to Saudi Arabia reportedly for a secret meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which would mark the first known encounter between senior Israeli and Saudi officials.
A Gulfstream IV private jet left Tel Aviv on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. local time and flew directly to the seaside resort town of Neom, according to FlightRadar.
Netanyahu headed back to Israel after two hours on the ground, arriving in Tel Aviv half past midnight.
Israeli chief spy and the head of Mossad, Yossi Cohen, joined the meeting, which was also attended by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
The prime minister's office declined to confirm the meeting took place, however, one of Netanyahu’s media advisers, Topaz Luk, tweeted after the news of the visit broke, “While Benny Gantz is dealing with politics the Prime Minister is making peace."
Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister took to Twitter Monday morning to deny any such meeting taking place.
“I have seen press reports about a purported meeting between HRH the Crown Prince and Israeli officials during the recent visit by @SecPompeo,” Faisal bin Farhan tweeted. “No such meeting occurred. The only officials present were American and Saudi.”
Netanyahu, speaking to members of his party in Knesset on Monday, neither confirmed nor denied the trip.
"My friends, I never reacted to these things along the years as prime minister and I will not do so now. All the years as prime minister I did all I can to strengthen Israel and enlarge the circle of peace," he said. "I hope this circle gets wider."

One more accomplishment dems will do their best to undo.
Biden lets Iran have nukes.
Saudi needs a nuclear umbrella, even if courtesy of Jews.
I guess not so secretly.
If it’s a ‘secret’ how come we all know about it?..................
Well isn’t this interestng?
Planning an attack on Iran, pre-1/20/21.
I’m guessing false flag coming soon, probably in Syria.
But Israel does have walls and will continue to have them since Syria will remain an enemy
A wall can be many things. Breaking them down does not necessarily mean physical walls. And Walls are being torn down between previous enemies and Israel right now
So what is the end of this thing?
Israel and other Arab countries are uniting against Iran. And as it continues the walls come down between them
But they all still hate Israel which in the end when Turkey, Iran and others unite to attack Israel so others will do so. Even those who are making peace with them now.
Wolf in Sheep.s clothing?
In order for this all to work Israel must feel at peace with all its neighbors supporting them
A common enemy with Iran etc will also be the same with Israel. And in the end, they will turn their weapons on each other since Sunni hates Shiite.
And Damascus will be laid waste as is most of Syria already
Folks, Ezekiel 38 is shaping up and it parallels exactly with prophecy.
Nothing to fear here as Israel will win this war, without the help of the US since we will be in a state of decline.[it begins with Biden and Harris]
God will put a hook in the attackers on the mountains of Israel as Israel could not possible win, making them dependent once again on God.
It is an awesome time to be alive and see these things happening right in front of us.
This war has not yet happened in history, but it will. All eyes on Israel

“Planning an attack on Iran, pre-1/20/21.”
That might well be one big chip on the table.
Might be a key part of a bigger peace deal.
The City of Neom, where they reportedly met, is just an hour or two’s drive from Eilat in in Israel. It is the natural Saudi-Israeli free trade/special economic zone. Jordan could play in there too.
“One more accomplishment dems will do their best to undo.”
Whether the Dems can jam it up, or whether it goes through despite them, Biden is likely to get a Nobel Prize for it...
Perhaps breaking what’s coming to the Arab world gently.
And potential tourist zone. The palestinians had the good sense not to establish one in Gaza. The Las Vegas or Monaco of the mideast could be built on the Gulf of Aquaba.
Oddly enough, pretty much word for word from the always wrong and roundly hated Debkafile
But were they both wearing masks? That’s all that really seems to matter for the past six months.
Who’s left in the Arab world to break it to?..............
“The Las Vegas or Monaco of the mideast could be built on the Gulf of Aquaba.”
Something along those lines is the pet project (major legacy) of MBS. He is putting a lot of resources and his reputation behind it.
I don’t know if they will have gambling (Islam and all), but they clearly want everything else that comes with the big casinos - tourists, top-flight entertainment, resorts, more tourists. Tourism is actually one of their few successful non-hydrocarbon industries (with the Hajj).
Maybe more Orlando than Las Vegas. Maybe something all its own.
He (MBS) also wants a tech corridor for jobs.
Whatever else it will be, it will be MBS’s baby.
Tech corridor, shopping, resorts and shopping probably easier. But casinos might pass muster in Israel, Sharon wanted one built in Gaza during the withdrawl and there was one in Jericho. And Egypt has casinos, for tourists. Don’t know if the Saudis would go that far, but Israel and Jordan might. All a long way off. Donald Trump could serve a second term, now or in 2024 and still have time to build Trump International Beach Resort Aquaba.
The beauty of the tri-National nature of the Eilat/Aqaba/Neom corridor, is that they can each fulfill the shortages of the other.
Slip over the border into Israel for some gambling, alcohol and a massage - everything but the pork products. No doubt the Saudis will want to provide high end attractions and services for the billionaire set. Jordanians can get a lot of supply and service work.
