But MBS has already been given the tools (or at least one good tool) to sell this to the SA people. Don't the Abraham Accords require investment to rebuild Gaza and make it peaceful and prosperous?
On the surface it seems that MBS can make the claim the Palestinian issue has been settled satisfactorily through this, and emphasizing this aspect can give him enough political cover. Furthermore, he has effective control of the kingdom already, and few citizens desire rebellion anyway, especially since the immediate Iranian ability to cause internal strife is at its lowest-ever level in recent history.
The pundit says it's the one thing that MBS doesn't want to do, but I think he's hitting that point too hard: that deal may have been already done since 2017.
