Danon sojourned to the oil-rich nation to attend a development conference in his capacity as chairman of the UN Legal Committee, an appointment he received in June.

The trip was conducted secretly and under tight security measures so as not arouse criticism of the government by local citizens.

The move is significant in terms of an Arab nation hosting a high-level "Israeli" official, Channel 2 noted.

In the summer of last year, for example, Saudi Arabia and "Israel" admitted to holding a number of secret talks since the beginning of 2014 concerning Iran and the unique "threat" it posed to the region.

Tensions between both sides declined precipitously since, with a notable change in Saudi public discourse ostensibly offering a more favorable posture towards the Zionist entity.

The public shift - from outlets such as al-Arabiya and Riyadh newspaper, among other local or state-owned outlets - reflects secret, under the-table contact between the Arab kingdom and the occupation entity that has been a work in progress for years.
