Former Saudi General Visits Israel, Meets With Foreign Ministry Director-general

(22.7.2016) While this wasn‘t an official visit, it was a highly unusual one, as Eshki couldn‘t have traveled to Israel without approval from the Saudi government. Eshki and Gold held a publicized joint event at a Washington research institute in June 2015, after meeting several times privately within academic frameworks over the preceding year. Gold attended the event a few days before assuming the role of director-general of the Foreign Ministry.
