[@zjeee]

Peacing out with Iran? Hardly likely, Iran is Shia and Saudi is considering itself as the leader of Sunni Muslims. Shia and Sunni have been fighting each others for more than 1400 years. I don't think that will stop just like that. Perhaps they will chill out for a year or two but in the long run they won't be friends unless there would be a religious shift in one of the countries.

Netanyahu will prefer (if we put his government aside for a moment) to have normalization with the Saudis in exchange of some changes towards the Palestinians (for example, changing some of Area C to B and Area B to A). The question is what will be the middle ground between the Far-Right who will not compormise on any issue between Netanyahu who really wants and need an agreement with the Saudis. It could lead to a coalition with Gantz and Lapid from the opposistion but it will be a huge political risk for both sides. Furthermore, it will come at a stop of the judicial reform/overhaul. The only case there will be such coalition will be if Israel will make a clear constitution which I don't see as likely, at least for now.

I don't understand the teaming up against Iran part as Saudi and Iran already normalized relations quite recently, don't see how they'd go through all that effort to side with Israel against Iran after all the time they spent to get back to semi-friendly relations.

[@jesseberg3271]

They only agreed to normalize relations because the Chinese were dangling concessions in front of them. Iran and the Saudis both took China up on its offer, but neither of them really meant it. Besides, all normalizing relations means is that they go back to having ambassadors in each other's capitals. The US had ambassadors in Moscow and the Soviets had ambassadors in Washington all throughout the Cold War. That's basically what Iran and the Saudis are in, a cold war, and they're still very much in one now.

[@Nawaf-qk9mu]

Well, realise all this information is sourced from either the United States or Israel, two countries that have been saying Saudi is close to normalization forever now. It is very likely a lot of it is propaganda on their part. Esspecially Israel, who likes to pretend it's much more buddy-buddy with Saudi than it actually is as a way to maintain some face. Furthermore both have tremendous incentive to do so, Israel esspecially. Their domestic problems are flaring up, and the government "teasing" a "victory" soon is probably an important tool to maintain some stability and support through all the chaos. And THIS much less but still true in the US. Many fear they've lost control over Saudi, that it's not joining BRICS to shift global power, controlling oil prices during a recession, etc etc. To give the indication of "Hey, we still got them on our side!" sort is key to dampen those worries.

This is a temporary measure. Proxy wars between Iran and Saudi Arabia have been immensely costly for both sides, but that hasn’t truly dissuaded them from engaging in them. Active hostility will likely decline in the coming years while they reorganize, but neither regime trusts the other to truly maintain peace longterm. Iran and Saudi Arabia are still firm enemies, they’re just in a short-term detente. Both will be jockeying for influence and allies in the mean time, they just might not be firing missiles at eachother’s proxies, maybe.

The US focusing on Iran will only strengthen it. The reason that Saudi Arabia is interested in a deal with Israel is just as you said, to bolster itself against Iran which the US is trying to effectively empower rather than restrain.

[@bhsultan7806]

Biden and Netenyahu are interested in a deal to bolster their own voter base and to cosy up with the fastest growing G20 - a country that can directly impact the weight of the dollar as the dominant currency and even domestic confidence in US consumer credit. There is no significant economic gain for the Saudis from any relationship with Israel.

[@cole590]

Actually ignoring them is what strengthened Iran in the first place. The Bush administration ignored them even though they were constantly training/supporting terror groups in Iraq and other regions. When I was deployed there in 04 it was obvious as day that Iran was doing exactly what we were accusing Iraq of doing (developing Nukes/State sponsored terrorism) yet leadership turned a blind eye. Iran grew to be one of the strongest countries in the middle east during that time. Obama's administration didnt exactly ignore them, but instead empowered them overtly. The Iranian nuclear deal was HORRIBLE. Trump's administration pulling out of the deal, reinstating sanctions and the Solemani strike was good, but more could've been done. Bidens administration is trying to replay Obama's strategy (which is why relations with Saudi Arabia have deteriorated in the first place). Iran has proven time and time again that ignoring them or slaps on the wrist won't deter them. I'm not calling for a full scale conflict with them, but a heavier hand should definitely be applied.

It is clear that even if the business relationships between US and Saudi Arabia are still there, but Saudi Arabia and specially MBS realized that peace in the region is the way to go forward. Potentially putting himself at risk with all his plan just to normalize with Israel I think is far of the truth.

Saudi and Iran just had a peace deal not too long ago and are pursuing diplomacy, as well as joining BRICS together, this idea that they’re still bitter enemies is not really true

[@Thecanman118]

Both Saudi and Iran have said that the peace deal was just the beginning and they've still got a long way to go as they still have many other issues to sort out. One of which is Iran having nukes, which is why Saudi is pushing for the US to make a security pact as well as allow them to have their own nukes.

[@jesseberg3271]

Both the Saudis and Iran only joined the peace deal to get concessions from China, and China is too diplomatically naive to make those concessions binding. Also, BRICS isn't a military alliance, and it already includes China and India, who are constantly fighting over their borders, and I mean literally fighting with guns and artillery. Iran and Saudi Arabia are still in the middle of a Cold War, that hasn't changed.

[@nectanbo]

This is a decent video, but I feel like you missed out a key player and factor in this situation. The Palestinians, or more specifically the Palestinian authority they are major stakeholders and are making the concessions which they demand through the Saudis. The Saudis cannot be seen to be working against Arab interests and it's only through these concessions that they can be seen to be making a defendable deal.

[@mdipltd7404]

None of the islamic countries currently aligned with Israel seem to give a shit about Palestine. Palestine offers nothing to the Saudi's, why would they care.

[@ofrikalif4938]

I understand what you are saying however it seems like the saudi support to the Palestinians is more with economic aid and building hospitals, schools etc. but not politicly. The Saudi leadership seems to be tired of the Palestinians and the way they been handling peace agreements with Israel and want them to change their leadership

[@gordonspicer]

Again the Arabs recalled how the PA (and strangely Jordan) supported Saddam Hussein. They also remembered the collaboration of many Palestinian workers with his forces once they arrived in Kuwait. It was this reason they were expelled "lock stock & barrel" and few ever were permitted to return there or even in the other Gulf States. There is believed, for various reasons connected with internal stability that there is not much "love lost" amongst arab countries (Lebanon, Egypt, Gulf & Saudi Arabia) with Palestians over decades now - whatever their public protestations are to the contrary !!

[@gordonspicer]

@@ofrikalif4938 Even Saudi school books have changed for the better. They are no longer antisemetic and recognise Israel & its Jewish inhabitants. This is, sadly, unlike the PA pupils books and its TV channel who openly still want to irradicate Israel and logically kill ofv all its Jews ! Reminds you of someone ?

[@gordonspicer]

@@ofrikalif4938 the PA is considered by many Arabs a kleptocracy with a high level of corruption. The Saudi's dont appreciate this when they dole out their money and will be very attentive unlike the Quataris who hand over millions to Hamas with even a receipt for the cash in cases.

I'm glad we're joining BRICS and getting less dependent on the western financial dominance sphere .

@y.l7455 We made peace , haven't seen any results since , just worse treatment of our Palestinian brothers. Plus, we don't want to see isreal destroyed just for them to abide by the Geneva convention and the resolutions passed by the UN . If this happens peace with the rest of the Arab states will be possible , but unfortunately the extreme ultra orthodox movement is ruining that chance . You have Ben givir as a minister who is the most racist towards Palestinians , like how do you expect peace with someone like that In a power position within the government.

[@noamjen]

The saddest thing here, is that both a deal with Saudi Arabia and the "concessions" to the Palestinian authority, will both be better for Israel in the long run.

[@unamiko6365]

The Crown Prince stressed the importance of resolving the Palestinian issue, considering it essential in any normalization of relations with Israel. He also rejected reports that Saudi Arabia had paused negotiations, which he stressed was “not true.” “Every day we get closer... We get to see how it goes,” he said.

[@banto1]

One of the more interesting aspects of the deal that isn't public yet is the big cash infusion from the Saudis to the Egyptians (saving the Egyptian economy) to create a Palestinian state in Northern Sinai, south of Gaza. This has been on the table between the US, Saudis and Egypt for decades and is according to knowledgeable people close to the negotiations, going to be the BIG story of this deal. Of course, the Pals and their Iranian paymasters won't agree, but what else is can be expected of them?
