I am really amazed to see how a single statement in a whole report changes the whole narrative . This report ,in general, is seen (and portrayed ) as success of Indian Soft power influence on both the countries . Definitely there have been harder work been done by diplomats of respective countries. But just one statement saying Trump flew 10 month back that’s why the airspace is open makes it look like a totally different . Undoubtedly USA has huge influence on both the countries So do they have since last few decades .That never helped Israel to get the access to Saudi airspace . Even it cant be denied that USA has played role in this negotiation. But with out any report or Citation to support that makes it look more like gossip story
