Saudi officials did not comment on the Israel boycott, which had been the key obstacle during the kingdom&#8217;s 12-year bid to gain entry. U.S. and Israeli officials said the boycott issue had been resolved. &#8220;I am very satisfied with the fact that Saudi Arabia has complied with all the rules of the WTO,&#8221; said Itzhak Levanon, Israel&#8217;s ambassador to the global trade body. &#8220;I hope it opens the door to a better future on the horizon in the region,&#8221; the Israeli envoy said.
