First Israeli journalist admitted to Saudi Arabia

This is an interesting development. Saudi Arabia has admitted an Israeli journalist for the first time. Orly Azoulay, a US-based correspondent for Yediot Achronot, arrived in Riyadh as part of a press delegation with UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon at the Arab League summit. Though Azoulay had been denied a visa, when she landed, a representative of the Saudi information ministry told her: "Welcome, you have nothing to worry about, we will all watch over you here. You are our guest." (Via JTA.org)
