Igosa eliphezulu likarhulumente wase-Israeli lathi namhlanje licele urhulumente waseSaudi Arabia ukuba avumele iinqwelomoya ezisuka eTel Aviv. Isikhululo senqwelomoya saseBen Gurion kwaSirayeli ukuya eJeddah kubahambi ngezonqulo abangamaSilamsi ukuya kwenza iHajj.

“Ndiwuthabathile lo mbandela neSaudi Arabia kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba iya kufika loo mini,” utshilo uMphathiswa weSebe leNtsebenziswano kwiNgingqi u-Esawi Frei kudliwanondlebe lukanomathotholo.

Umphathiswa uthe unethemba lelungiselelo elitsha elinokubakho kunye ISaudi Arabia Phambi kotyelelo lukaMongameli wase-US uJoe Biden kwiveki ezayo, nokuba ilizwe lamaJuda belisebenza ukuzisa oko akuthatha njengonxibelelwano “phantsi kwe-radar” phakathi kweYerusalem neRiyadh - esekwe ikakhulu kwimidla yeshishini kunye neenkxalabo ezifanayo malunga neIran - ngakumbi kwindawo evulekileyo.

“Ndifuna ukubona usuku endinokuthi ndimke ngalo eBen-Gurion [isikhululo seenqwelo-moya] ndisiya eJeddah ukuze ndizalisekise imbopheleleko yam yonqulo” kuhambo ngezonqulo lwaminyaka le eMecca, watsho uMphathiswa uFreij, olilungu lelizwe lamaYuda i-18% lamaSilamsi ambalwa.

Amagosa akwa-Israel anomdla kwimvume eyandisiweyo yokuba abathwali bomoya bakwa-Israeli babhabhe kwindawo yomoya yaseSaudi ukuya kwiindawo eAsia.

Xa i-UAE kunye ne-Bahrain zaseka ubudlelwane bezozakuzo kunye no-Israyeli ngo-2020, iSaudi Arabia yabonisa ukwamkelwa kwayo ngokubonelela ngepaseji yomoya ngokucokisekileyo kwindawo yayo yomoya yeenqwelomoya zakwa-Israel ezibhabhela kuloo mazwe aseGulf.

Nangona iSaudi Arabia ingamqapheli ngokusemthethweni uSirayeli, abahambi ngezonqulo abangamaSilamsi abavela kwilizwe lamaYuda bamkelwe yiSaudi Arabia ixesha elide ngoku.

Nangona kunjalo, abahambi ngezonqulo bakwa-Israeli baye bahamba besiya eMecca bedlula kumazwe esithathu ukuya kwenza iHajj yonyaka, uhambo olude lweveki lubaxabisa malunga ne-11,500 yeedola. Iindleko zohambo ngezonqulo zabazinikeleyo abavela kumazwe angama-Arabhu zimalunga nesiqingatha saloo mali.

ISaudi Arabia ayithethi nto malunga nophuhliso olunokwenzeka lwaseSaudi-Israel ngexesha lotyelelo lukaMongameli wase-US, kodwa ngokutsho kweminye imithombo eWashington, izivumelwano ezintsha ngenqwelomoya ezifunwa ngu-Israyeli zinokubhengezwa malunga nexesha lotyelelo lukaBiden.

Iinkcukacha zezo zivumelwano zinokwenzeka zamazwe amabini zisafuneka ukuba zisetyenzwe, kwaye zisenokungagqitywa ngexesha, wongeze watsho umthombo.
