Saudi Arabia and Western governments have for decades remained silent on the occupation of Saudi islands by Israel, Press TV reports.
Many wonder where these islands are and why Saudi Arabia never tries to regain its sovereignty over them.
The latest initiative to end the Arab-Israeli conflict was proposed by King Abdullah during an Arab League conference in 2002. But even then, the case of the two Saudi islands of Tiran and Sanafir was not brought up.
Tiran and Sanafir islands, with respective areas of 80 and 33 sq kilometers, are located at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba, east of the Saudi territory.
They belonged to Saudi Arabia until 1967 when King Faisal gave control of the islands to Egypt to prevent Israel from sending its ships to Eilat station during the Six-Day war. The islands were then occupied by Israel.

So now Israel has control of the straits and an hold the M.E. to ransom.

No one has made a fuss about it. That's the thing.
Israel briefly took over Tiran Island during the Suez Crisis and again from 1967 to 1982 following the Six Day War. The island is currently inhabited only by military personnel from Egypt and the Multinational Force and Observers [MFO].
