Delta Air Lines is adding Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance. This will make it easier for Americans to fly to Saudi Arabia -- unless you're Jewish. Saudi law bans Jews from entering Saudi Arabia, and Delta's partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines requires it to accept that law. That means if you're Jewish or hold a passport from Israel and try to get on a flight to Jeddah out of New York or Washington, Delta employees will stop you.
Saudi Arabia is not the only country in the Middle East that forbids people with Israeli passports, as well as people who have simply visited Israel, from entering.
