JEDDAH, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Among the teams dashing around the dunes in their cars at the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia this month, there were two whose presence would have been unthinkable a year ago.
The participation of Israelis in the rally s lightweight vehicle and truck categories comes after a rapprochement between Israel and Arab states that has been in high gear, fuelled by Riyadh s quiet assent.
In total, ten drivers, navigators and support staff entered Saudi Arabia on Israeli passports, according to team member Omer Pearl. It was extraordinary - huge dunes that go on for hundreds of kilometres, said Danny Pearl, one of the Israeli drivers and Omer s father.
