A Saudi source denied on Monday social media posts about a meeting being held between Commerce Minister Dr. Majid al-Qasabi and an Israeli official.

In a statement, the source referred to a video showing Dr. al-Qasabi and an Israeli official at the World Trade Organization's (WTO's) 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi. The source said the video was filmed as Dr. al-Qasabi was standing alongside his Nigerian counterpart ahead of the opening of the conference.

The source noted that an unknown individual approached the minister to offer greetings and later identified himself as the minister of economy in the Israeli occupation government.

Moreover, the source emphasized “the Kingdom's steadfast stance on the Palestinian cause and its support for the resilience of the Palestinian people against Israeli aggression.”

Saudi Arabia welcomed on Wednesday the agreement announced by the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, between the Yemeni government and the Houthi group.
The agreement was reached on Tuesday between the legitimate Yemeni government and Iran-backed Houthi militias to de-escalate the situation with regard to the Yemeni banking sector and the national airlines, Yemenia.
The Saudi foreign Ministry stressed Riyadh’s unwavering support for Yemen, its government and people, expressing keenness on de-escalation.
In a statement on its X account on Wednesday, the Ministry said it looks forward to the Yemeni parties sitting for dialogue under the patronage of the UN envoy's office to discuss all economic and humanitarian issues in the hopes of paving the way for a comprehensive political solution for the Yemeni crisis.
