Israel's tourism minister travelled to Saudi Arabia for a UN conference on Tuesday, his office said, describing the visit as the first public trip to the country by an Israeli cabinet member.
Haim Katz's two-day visit to Riyadh comes as Saudi Arabia is pursuing a possible US-brokered deal that would forge formal bilateral relations with Israel.
