Prince Sultan: Helping Israel is an unforgivable crime

The Saudi minister of defense and aviation has stressed that the "Israeli aggression against the Palestinians constitutes an unforgivable crime for the Hebrew state and those who help it."

In statements that came after handing over the international prizes of King Faisal on Saturday evening and quoted by the Saudi News agency, the Saudi minister said that relations between his country and the US are in their best.

He added replying to a question that the visit of the US Vice President Dick Cheney to Saudi Arabia this week or any person from Saudi Arabia to the US or from the US to Saudi Arabia are natural things since an old time."
