    You know it’s bad when Saudi Arabia is the calming force in the region and pulling out of diplomatic relations with Israel while also renewing relations with Iran.

      He may not care about the Palestinian issue but he may feel a little different about Israeli expansion

    instinctively I was gonna say shut the fuck up you’re not helping but thinking about it, they actually might. if there’s one country that might influence the US politicians more than Israel it’s gotta be $audi Arabia. I mean after 9/11 fucking Iraq got invaded but Saudi Arabia somehow barely got mentions.

      problem is that behind closed doors he repeatedly said, he doesnt care. SA is de-facto a major supporter of Israel even if they don’t hold formal ties. At some point a few month back MBS said he is scared of getting assassinated over his support for Israel. Meanwhile signs of solidarity with Palestinians are banned in SA.

      Until SA proves by actions that they changed course, i see these statements as lip services of a scared dictator.

      Israel embracing their plans for a “greater Israel” including parts of Egypt, the Arabian peninsula, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and a bit of Turkey more and more openly might force him and the other collaborating Arab regimes to genuinely change their position. Otherwise Israel will just annex them one by one.
