The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) has categorically denied reports claiming it was involved in transporting weapons to Israel, Middle East Monitor reports.
In a statement issued on its website, Bahri said, “These allegations are entirely false and without merit.”
The company stressed its full commitment to Saudi Arabia’s established policy on the Palestinian cause, and to local and international laws and regulations governing maritime transport.
Bahri clarified that it “has never transported any goods or shipments to Israel and has never been involved in any such operations in any capacity”. It added that all its operations are “subject to rigorous oversight and clear review procedures to ensure full compliance with applicable regulations”.
