JAKARTA - Israel has decided to block the planned visit of Saudi Arabia's foreign ministers, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, and Qatar to meet the Palestinian Authority (PA), reports Axios citing Israeli officials.
High diplomats from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey are reportedly visiting the West Bank on Sunday, according to the news outlet.
Earlier that day, CNN also reported that the ministers intended to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah City.
Meanwhile, The Times of Israel, citing senior Israeli officials on Friday, reported that Zionists had obstructed the planned visit to the West Bank.
"Israel will not cooperate with measures designed to harm them and their security," the official said.
He told The Times of Israel the meeting at Sunday in the West Bank had been planned with the aim of "promoting the formation of a Palestinian state".
On Thursday, Israel approved the initiative of Israeli Defense Minister Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to build 22 settlements in the West Bank, an area Israeli-occupied since 1967.
The initiative aims to restore the area that was previously evacuated. In addition, four settlements will also be built near the western border with Jordan.
