based Al-Yaum slammed the quarters which try to spread rumors about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It noted that it was recently reported that the Kingdom had allowed flying of Israeli planes over its air space, but the Kingdom has categorically denied the report and said it is a baseless report and it aims at defaming the Kingdom. It is not the first time that such rumors are circulated about the Kingdom notably about the Kingdom's policy towards Israel, said the paper, noting that those who stand behind such false rumors are aware of the Kingdom's importance and political weight as well as its inalienable stand vis-à-vis the Palestinian problem. The Kingdom has made it clear that any dealing with Israel will never take place without the Israeli compliance of all international resolutions, withdrawal from the occupied Arab territories, establishment of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital and the settlement of the refugees problem. "Those who spread false rumors have goals of defaming the Kingdom after the political and diplomatic successes it has attained and the good reputation it has earned," said the paper, adding that such attempts will never change the nature of the Kingdom or its noble goals for the service of the Arab and Muslim causes. "The Arabs will never normalize their relations with Israel until the restoration of the usurped rights of the Palestinian people. Moreover, the kingdom will never accept any form of cooperation with Israel until such a goal is attained," the paper said. --MORE
