In recent times, and particularly since Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) became Crown Prince, the Saudi government has formally hosted several Israeli officials, breaking with historical political relations with the Israeli occupation.
It turned out that some of these guests who were hosted by MBS were involved in the horrible massacres that were taking place in Gaza during the most recent war that Israel initiated against the Gaza Strip, a conflict that human rights activists worldwide refer to as a genocide.
These officials arrived in the Kingdom in a variety of roles. Among them were ministers, rabbis, and businessmen. Some of them even entered the country using non-Israeli passports.
Child killers visit Saudi kingdom:
Haim Katz: He was the first Israeli minister to visit Saudi Arabia. As the Minister of Tourism of the occupying state, he travelled to the Kingdom to participate in the United Nations Tourism Organisation conference, which was held in Riyadh in September 2023.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation praised the visit, saying: “My feeling is that an affair has begun, but it will take time until it crystallizes into a relationship.”
In a cabinet meeting on October 8, Katz demanded that Gaza be completely destroyed, saying, “We need to strike an unprecedented attack against the Gaza Strip.”
He has also promoted a plan to be executed over five years in the Gaza border area, which includes hotels, an amusement park, and a memorial site for Israeli soldiers with a budget of $5 billion.
Shlomi Karai: He serves as the occupying state’s Minister of Communications. He is the second minister to travel to Saudi Arabia, having been invited by MBS to arrange Saudi Arabia’s normalization deal with the occupation a few days prior to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
Israeli Minister Shlomi Karai is known for his anti-Arab positions in general and against Muslims in particular. He is also famous for his hatred of Palestinians. He is one of the most extremist members of the Likud Party. In response to the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood, he called for a genocide war in Gaza and the displacement of all Palestinians. Late in 2023, he submitted a proposal to the Israeli Knesset prohibiting the raising of Palestinian flags in universities and severely punishing students who do so. When the bombing got more intense and the number of victims reached thousands, he was among those who agreed with Elon Musk to stop satellite Internet from being provided to Gaza. In the following days, he launched a propaganda campaign to impose a starvation war against the people of Gaza.
Rabbi David Rosen: The first Israeli rabbi to be publicly hosted by MBS, along with king Salman in February 2020. He entered the Kingdom in his religious capacity as “International Director for Interfaith Affairs at the American Jewish Committee (AJC) based in Jerusalem.
The British-born rabbi has been living in occupied Jerusalem for over thirty years. During the Israeli occupation forces’ 1967 conquest of the Egyptian Sinai, he served as both a fighter and a rabbi.
He returned to the Kingdom in May 2022 as a representative of the occupying state in the “Forum of Shared Values among Followers of Religions.” and the group he is a part of is regarded as one of the Israeli occupation’s arms that takes up and propagates his narrative.
Rabbi Jacob Yisrael Herzog: He is the most known Israeli rabbi. He is not considered a visitor, but rather a resident of Saudi Arabia. He calls himself the rabbi of the Jews in Saudi Arabia, and seeks official penetration into the Kingdom.
Herzog showed up alongside the Israeli Minister of Defense during the Gaza War, armed and dressed in an Israeli military uniform. He appeared in a video clip promoting support for one of the Israeli soldiers.
Israeli Jason Greenblatt: He was hosted by the Saudi government last year at the LEAP 2023 conference. He is considered one of the leading designers of normalization path in the region. Holding his book “For the Sake of Abraham,” he attended the conference promoting normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. He was honored by Faisal Abbas, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Arab News funded by MBS.
The rabbi was also known for calling for the elimination of Palestinian resistance, describing them as barbaric animals, while promoting rape rumors in media.
Israeli Bruce Gurvine: He was also hosted at the LEAP 2023 conference and was one of its main speakers. He works in agricultural companies, share businesses with the UAE government. He visited several Saudi cities, especially NEOM City.
He praised the stripping and humiliation of dozens of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, saying: When the tunnel is flooded, rats come out. Gurvine also endorses the killing of children.
