Saudis tried on Monday to rule out any connection with the Israeli regime, especially over attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The Saudis’ stance came after The Sunday Times reported that Riyadh has given its consent to Israel to use Saudi airspace for a potential attack on Iran.

In addition, the British newspaper quoted a diplomatic source as saying the Saudis were willing to assist an Israeli attack by cooperating on the use of drones, rescue helicopters and tanker planes.

“Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency is working with Saudi officials on contingency plans for a possible attack on Iran if its nuclear programme is not significantly curbed in a deal that could be signed in Geneva this week,” The Sunday Times reported .

However, on Monday, a Saudi Foreign Ministry spokesman said the kingdom "has no relations or contacts with Israel of any kind or at any level," according to state news agency SPA.
