# Orly Azoulay, a reporter with Israel’s Yediot Aharonot newspaper, is in Riyadh to cover the Arab League summit opening on Wednesday... She arrived with other journalists accompanying UN chief Ban Ki-moon... Yediot did not say whether Azulay had used an Israeli passport to enter the kingdom, which does not have relations with the Jewish state. [KhaleejT]

# JTA: "Saudi Arabia admitted
an Israeli journalist for the first time."

Although Azoulay, a dual French-Israeli citizen, had been denied an "official visa," she was welcomed as a "guest" when she landed there. Yeah, maybe she could have used a French passport, but, so far, it looks like she didn't have to; it appears that they admitted her without a visa ;-) [JTA]
