Riyadh rover: Saudi car spotted in Jaffa |
2015-07-28 |
[IsraelTimes] Businessman apparently drove from conservative kingdom to Israel Cars with foreign license plates are rare enough in Israel, but the one spotted in Jaffa on Friday caused quite a stir. Army Radio's Arab Affairs news hound Jacky Hugi spotted a silver Mercedes parked near Jaffa's Clock Tower bearing a Saudi license plate -- a highly unusual, if not unprecedented sight in Israel. He quickly pulled out his camera, sharing the image on Twitter. "The nuclear deal with Iran is starting to prove itself," he wrote, in ironic reference to the shared concern over Iran's nuclear project that has made unlikely private allies of Israel and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... Later, a Facebook friend notified Hugi that he had struck up a conversation with the driver in Jerusalem, and had learned that he was a Saudi businessman. Hugi told the Times of Israel on Sunday that he had no further information on the car, but said that if the driver were given an exceptional entry visa to Israel, there'd be no reason for his car to be banned. No response was available from the Transportation Ministry at time of publication. |

#2 Obama might shoot down Israeli bombers on the way to Iran but would he shoot down a Soddy bomber? |
