The founder of the Zionist Heritage Center, Mike Evans, said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed were more supportive of Israel than many Jews.
In a speech to the Jerusalem Post in New York, Evans said he met the two men he described as brilliant. He also praised - in statements to the island after the conference - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi.
The founder of the Zionist Heritage Center said that he raised the subject of the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi when he met the Saudi Crown Prince who did not recognize Khashoggi's murder and did not evict him as well. Ben-Salman told him that even the prince was making a mistake.
For his part, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that the United States, with the full support of Israel, is leading a process for the establishment of regional cooperation, including the development of relations with pragmatic Arab countries, according to his description.
In February, Israel's Channel 13 broadcast a new episode of the "Secrets of the Gulf" program, devoted to the relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, in which it revealed that Mohammed bin Salman had worked to strengthen relations between the two countries.
She said relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel were in a deadlock that ended after the death of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz and King Salman took power and the power of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was increased.
The Israeli Maariv daily Wall Street Journal reported that Mohammed bin Salman had entrusted his former adviser Saud al-Qahtani with a special mission to embody Israel's image in Saudi public opinion.
Al-Qahtani, who was an advisor to the Royal Court at the rank of minister, issued directives to the Saudi press to change the perception of Israel's image in the kingdom, which was previously described as the Zionist enemy.
