Saudis Continue to Boycott Israel
[Jerusalem Post] Michael Freund - In November 2005, Saudi Arabia pledged to abandon the Arab League boycott of Israel after Washington conditioned Riyadh's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) on such a move. A month later, on December 11, Saudi Arabia was granted WTO membership. Nearly 18 months later, Saudi Arabia continues to enforce the boycott. "Goods made in Israel are not allowed here in Saudi Arabia," said Khaled A-Sharif, assistant manager of the Saudi Customs Department at King Abdul Aziz Airport outside Jidda.
