RIYADH: According to the Saudi Press Agency, an official Saudi source refuted claims that went viral on social media on Monday about a meeting between Israeli occupation official and Commerce Minister Majid Al-Qasabi.

In a statement issued by SPA, the same source said that the video went viral as Al-Qasabi and his Nigerian counterpart were standing just before the World Trade Organization's thirteenth Ministerial Conference opened in Abu Dhabi.

The insider told SPA, "The person shook [the Saudi minister's] hand and was then introduced, without (Al-Qasabi's) prior knowledge."

Following this, there were allegations in Israeli media that the two talked about peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel. One Israeli site published a photo of the two with the headline, "Saudi counterpart and Israeli minister shake hands and discuss'making history together.'"

Additionally, the source confirmed to SPA Saudi Arabia's unwavering support for the Palestinian people against Israeli aggression and its clear stance on the Palestinian issue.
