Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a secret discussion in Saudi Arabia Sunday with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, media said, in the first reported trip by an Israeli premier to the kingdom. However, Neither Netanyahu's office nor the U.S state department was not immediately available to comment on the reports.

Two Israeli radio stations have said the Netanyahu flew to Saudi Arabia for meetings with senior officials. Ties between the countries have warmed recently over their fear of Iran.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was in Israel last week, was also at the reported discussions, a diplomatic correspondent at Israeli public broadcaster Kan said on Monday. The broadcaster cited unnamed Israeli officials as saying that Netanyahu and the head of the Mossad spy agency Yossi Cohen "flew yesterday to Saudi Arabia, and met Pompeo and MBS in the city of Neom", referring to Prince Mohammed's initials.

A number of Israeli media outlets reported similar information on Monday morning. The meeting comes after Israel agreed historic deals to normalize ties with two Saudi allies in the Gulf, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
