Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 16th, Saudi Arabia announced on the 15th that the restrictions on the use of their airspace for "all aviation operators".

Saudi Arabia announced that the decision was about to visit when the U.S. President Joseph Biden was about to visit, which was regarded as "turning on the green light" to Israeli air transport dealers. However, whether Biden can persuade Saudi Arabia to increase crude oil, the outside world is not optimistic.

This statement did not mention Israel. However, the media generally interpreted, which means that Saudi Arabia "turns on green lights" towards Israeli air transport dealers. A senior US official who was unwilling to disclose his identity told Reuters the day before that the Saudi Arabia will soon dismiss the restrictions on the FMB and allow the charter to fly directly from Israel to Saudi Melizer.

Biden was first visited after taking office in the Middle East, and promoting the normalization of Saudi Arabia's relationship with Israel is one of the goals of this trip. He scheduled to arrive in Saudi Arabia from Israel in the later 15th to become the first US president who did not build an Arab country from Israel to build an Arab country directly from Israel.

Israel is a hardcore ally in the United States in the Middle East, and the United States tries to close the relations with Israel and Arab countries. Since 2020, under the United States, 4 Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Barin have normalized the relationship with Israel.

After the relationship between Israel and the UAE and Barin is normal, Saudi Arabia allows Israel to travel to the UAE and Barin passenger planes to lead Saudi Arabia. Israel hopes that Saudi Arabia will be opened further in order to open more routes flying to Asian countries.

Jack Shalvi, assistant to US President's National Security Affairs Assistant, welcomes Saudi Arabia ’s open leadership to“ flights including entering and exiting Israel ”.

However, Agence France -Presse quoted a number of analysts reported that the improvement of relations with Israel and Israel will not happen overnight, and it is unlikely to agree to the normalization of the relationship with Israel during the visit of Bayeng.

Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia is also considered a journey of repairing relationships. During the presidential period of the president, Biden criticized Saudi Jamal Jamal Kashuji in Saudi Arabia's Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, and criticized Saudi Arabia. The US intelligence agency announced a survey results on the incident last year. Saudi Arabia stated to the United States' report conclusion that "completely rejected."

Biden said in Israel on the 14th that his purpose of visiting Saudi Arabia was to "promote the interests of the United States", but he was "completely clear" about the Kashuji case. Sarawin said at a blower on the 11th that Biden would mention "human rights and political reform" in the Middle East visit.

Energy is also one of the issues of Biden visiting Saudi Arabia. Shatin said that Biden would call on Saudi and other oil output countries (OPEC) members to increase crude oil output to settle the price of gasoline that is high, and "protect American consumers".

However, industry analysts are not optimistic about Biden. The Russian satellite news agency reports that Bayeng will "embarrassing help" to Saudi Arabia. Russian Middle East expert Yofgeny Satanovsky predicts that Saudi Arabia will not increase production according to the wishes of the United States. "First of all, they are unwilling. Second, they can't do it. Why do they do something to reduce their income?"

Agence France -Presse also quoted some analysts that if Saudi Arabia agreed to increase production would be "major accidents", and Saudi Arabia's output was close to its maximum production capacity.

Biden also said that he would use the trip to Saudi Arabia to show that the United States "can continue to lead the region." However, local public opinion questioned the Bayeng government's strategic attempt to create the "Middle East version of NATO". Saudi columnist Lami Ali wrote in the Saudi media that the Gulf country "does not want to see a new cold war or a fire ... but hopes to establish a balanced relationship with all parties to protect its own interests."

Reuters commented that Saudi Arabia is seeking a balance between the balance with the United States and Russia. After the Russian -Ukraine conflict was upgraded, the Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia refused to choose the side. Reuters quoted the data newspaper of Lufut-Aikang on the 14th that although the United States imposed sanctions against Russia, Saudi Arabia imported fuel from Russia in the second quarter to double the year-on-year.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on the 13th that Russia "attaches great importance to the relationship and cooperation with Riyadh, and of course I hope that the establishment of and developing a relationship with other countries should not target us in any way."
