Hamas' last visit to Saudi Arabia was in 2015, when Meshal met with King Salman bin Abdulaziz and senior Saudi officials.In August 2021, a Saudi court sentenced 69 Palestinian and Jordanian nationals to various prison terms on charges of links to Hamas.Riyadh, however, has released most of the detainees in recent months, including Hamas representative in the kingdom, Mohammed al-Khudari.
