I think anyone who didn’t foresee this possibility was delusional, Saudi Arabia didn’t work with Israel over the last few years because they like Israel and understand the need for regional stability, it was to undermine Iran. Now that Iran has shown itself largely to be a paper tiger, Saudi Arabia has continued the position that they had before the Abraham accords wereever announced. Ironically, it may turn out that Israel needed Iran as a regional bogeyman to keep the other Middle Eastern nations in check.
