Context

Despite their official pronouncements and what their people want, Arab governments have been gradually abandoning Palestine. Saudi Arabia was the last major Arab power to hold out. This March, however, even they began normalizing relations with Israel.

It is unclear how the 2023 Israel–Hamas war has affected Israel-Saudi Arabia relationships. This interview hints that Saudi Arabia is big mad at Gaza and will continue to normalize relations with Israel.
