Qaboos

"Foreign Ministry director-general Yossi Gal has held secret state-level meetings in Oman's capital Muscat, a senior official in Jerusalem told Haaretz. Diplomatic relations between Israel and Oman were cut off in 2000 at the start of the second intifada." I mean, Qaboos does not sip a beverage before receiving orders from his Western handlers.
