Let’s see. Saudi Arabia hates Iran. Iran hates Israel. Israel bombs Syria. Saudi Arabia will soon recognize Israel and Syria. What are we missing?

The Iranians undermine gov'ts throughout the Middle East and in Africa, and by doing this, they've earned the KSA's undivided attention.
Israel is enjoying a period of economic prosperity and relative peace and quiet because the none-too-neighborly neighbors are either at each other's throats, or are coping with internal terrorists, or are overtaxed by refugees (for example, Jordan hosts Syrian as well as so-called Palestinian refugees), and the local jihadists are more factional and splintered than ever, and thanks in part to the first Trump administration, Israel's been building diplomatic and trade relationships in the region. The most important one in the long run will be with Cyprus and Greece.
Syria is a pseudostate, and will remain one, as Lebanon and Afghanistan have been for the past 40 years, and as Pakistan continues to become. Turkey is holding together at present, but when Erdogan goes, whatever follows will be worse. Same goes for Syria and Assad.
