TEHRAN (Defapress)-The two leaders met at the Royal Palace in the Jordanian capital on the sidelines of a visit to Amman by White House special adviser Jared Kushner and US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt, according to the daily.

Citing an informed source, the report announced that bin Salman's meetings with Netanyahu took place both with and without the presence of Jordan’s King Abdullah.

Israel and Saudi Arabia have no diplomatic relations, but they are widely believed to have secret liaisons, but, according to latest reports, the two regimes are working behind the scenes to establish formal relations.

Riyadh has been supporting Washington initiative purported to resolve the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while the Saudi Crown Prince has recently sparked controversy by telling the Palestinians that they should either accept peace proposals or "shut up".
