The Israeli foreign ministry expressed its sincere congratulations to the Saudi king, government, and people, wishing them blessings, security, prosperity, and a future of peace, cooperation, and good neighborliness.
This message was shared for the first time on the ministry’s English-language account but had been posted in Arabic previously.
