Israel says it is discussing possible direct Haj flights to Saudi Arabia

"Such prospects have been further clouded, however, by Riyadh's strains with U.S. President Joe Biden, its recent fence-mending with regional rival Iran - a foe of Israel - and the rise of Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right Israeli government.

Netanyahu's centrist predecessor, Yair Lapid, said on March 10 that, as prime minister last year, he secured Saudi consent for what would be the first direct Haj flights from Israel, some 18% of whose population are Muslim.

Riyadh has not offered confirmation." - Reuters
