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.

I do think this will delay the Saudi-Israel treaty by years tho. MBS might want it, but as long as his people are seeing piles of dead kids on TV everyday he can't drag them along with him. The last thing he needs is to have this lead to a new al-Qaeda springing up
I just wish anyone on American TV had the brains and guts that this woman does.

If he can buck break their actual clergy he'll buck break the terminally online wannabes. Unironically my favourite muzzie right now. The UAE guy too but he is much less powerful.

Maybe, but I don't think that's a risk he's willing to take.
Also he has to worry about the impact this will have in other countries.
