...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... for a UN event, becoming the first Israeli minister to lead a delegation to the kingdom, his office says. Katz is on a two-day visit as part of a United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) event. "Tourism is a bridge between nations," Katz says, according to his office. "Cooperation in the field of tourism has the potential to bring hearts together, and economic progress." "I will work to advance cooperation, tourism and the foreign relations of Israel," he says. Katz’s visit comes as Israel and Saudi Arabia edge closer to a normalization deal. In March this year, Saudi Arabia had refused to issue visas for an Israeli delegation to a similar UNWTO event. | |
