If it makes them feel more secure against Iran.....Most definately
They will is they don’t want to be left behind.
SA is between a rock and fundamentals Islam. SA desperately needs Israel. Relations with Israel gives them an unlockable port for their oil, financing, technology and a strategic oartner against common enemies. On the other side, any recognition of Israel requires every devoute Muslim to destroy them.
The Koran quotes Allah instructing his followers that he has given the land to the Jews.
any real, sincere Moslem has to know this (it is stated at least twice in Koran, and clearly so).
Opposing Allah’s direct instructions results in being banished to Johannam (Hell, and almost everyone there gets the Fire treatment, too).
All the iman has to do is start preaching from Koran suras (chapters) 5 and 17.
Trump’s fault.
Look for KSA to sign on with a peace deal with Israel.
Now we just have to trust Saudi Arabia not to say one thing, but fund something very different.
I’m curious what impact these agreements are having on Israel’s desire to annex more land.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are already secretly working together against Iran.
Both need each other else Iran will continue and get worse.
I will argue that actions although not publacized speak louder than words.
Saudi Arabia has a population including radicals that can cause very big problems. Best not to rile them and just go about business.
Business allows the USAF to base F22’s in the kingdom. The USAF is once again present. We do not know the unofficial or perhaps secret diplomacy between the Kingdom and Israel. We for instance don’t know how the various covert joint operations in Iran are carried out.
Some one wrote that the agreement put Iran in Checkmate. I think that is a good assessment.
How fast can the Saudis run a pipeline through Jordan, to Israeli ports on the Mediterranean?
Yet another good strategic reason.
If President Trump can can get Muslims to get along with Jews I don’t think there is anything he can’t do. Seriously.
