From what I see Saudi Arabia has already been trying to normalize relations with Israel. Peace in the region would be a net gain.

In 2022, Saudi Arabia lifted its ban on Israeli overflights during a visit by President Joe Biden to the kingdom.

The UAE became only the third Arab nation, after Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994), to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, ending a 25-year period without such ties.Sep 15, 2023
