Contrary to earlier reports, the Saudi boycott of Israel continues despite the KSA's entry into the World Trade Organization according to this report in Arab News:
First-Degree Boycott of Israel to Continue
An official at the Commerce and Industry Ministry denied reports that the Kingdom had lifted the boycott. “The Kingdom has lifted only the second and third degree boycott of Israel in accordance with a decision taken by the GCC summit 10 years ago,” the official said, adding that the Saudi accession to WTO was not linked to the lifting of the boycott.
Wow, boycotts in the first, second and third degrees. How about the double-secret boycott?
Some days they sound evil, other days just childish. Who would be more dangerous in charge of a country, I wonder? An evil man, or a petulant child?
