Rasa News Agency reports – For the first time ever, Palestinian Muslims living the parts of Palestine illegally occupied by the Zionists in 1948 will be able to travel to Saudi/Wahhabi-occupied Makkah for the Hajj pilgrimage by air instead of having to make the journey by bus.

Previously, Palestinians from “Palestine 1948” would travel overland to Amman, Jordan and then to fly to Jeddah. It used to take pilgrims about 24 hours to travel from Israel to Amman due to the situation at the Israeli-controlled Allenby Bridge into Jordan, but the journey has now been reduced to a 20-minute ride. An initial group of 766 pilgrims will fly out between September 23rd and 26th, and the flight will cost about $600.

Ibrahim Milad, the owner of the Ramlah-based Milad Aviation Company, said that flights would be organized from the Zionists’ Ben Gurion Airport to Amman and then onward to Jeddah Airport in Saudi Arabia.

It should be noted that recently, Saudi Arabia has taken steps to improve its relations with the Zionist entity. In this context, a number of Saudi officials have secretly visited Tel Aviv. Among them was Prince Turki al-Faysal Al Sa’ud, and deputy defence minister Salman ibn Sultan Al Sa’ud.  Saudi Arabia was the only country that stood alongside Israel against the treaty between Iran and the P5+1 countries. This is a matter of concern to Arab and Muslim people.
