Saudi prince to visit Israel in unprecedented overture - Update - this item is a hoax

Saudi Arabian prince and wealthy media tycoon Talal Bin Waleed announced Thursday that he is planning a seven-day-trip to the Jewish State and urged all the Arab nations in the region to "strive for a more peaceful, prosperous and homogenous Middle East," according to Saudi Arabian news media. 

"All my Muslim brothers and sisters must understand that it became a moral imperative for all inhabitants of war-torn Middle-East, namely Arabs, to desist their absurd hostility toward Jewish people,"  Okaz reported the prince saying, an Arabic-language Saudi news agency.

UPDATE: Apparently, this item is a hoax - thanks to Brain H for letting me know.
