Saudi Arabia prefers Israel more than living with a strong Iran. Maybe the Mossad will let SA putter about with nuclear tech without actually building a device, if both countries pretend to kiss and be friends in public. SA is sending signals to everyone to play nice with Israel. MbS must really have everyone in SA under his thumb.
I have a Saudi friend. He's a Christian dissenter and when he was in the military, his unit witnessed child sex trafficking in person when their security detail stopped a suspicious truck full of kids. Anyhow, MbS has helped transform KSA, but he says unfortunately they are dealing with their own Saudi version of SJWs, if you can believe it. They're trying to yank the pendulum too far in the wrong way. Now if they could stop the conflict with Yemen. Yemeni are like illegal Mexicans with rocket launchers. Illegal Yemeni immigrants keep flooding the border, and Yemeni militants attack the Saudis. They get high on ghat, fire missiles into KSA, miss (because they're too high to hit anything), the Saudis hit back five times as hard, and then in the media it's "oh poor Yemen, mean ol' KSA is killing them so much." Well, if Yemen would knock it off with their stupid crap, then maybe they wouldn't get their asses kicked so much.

I have to agree, it's a hell of a mess out there :-)
Hamas was created by Israel to fight Hezbollah.
