Saudi's firm stance far exceeds previous ones! Saudi has rarely criticized Israel. On March 8, according to foreign media reports, the Saudi Foreign Minister stated: Israel has long been responsible for the killing and destruction in the region, and the world has witnessed these actions in Gaza. Israel is the party pushing the region toward further instability and destruction. Obviously, this statement from Saudi is unusual.
Indeed, after the United States and Israel jointly attacked Iran, Saudi once avoided criticizing Israel. However, this time, Saudi clearly stated that Israel is the source of tension in the Middle East. This rare strong statement marks a complete tightening of Saudi's diplomatic bottom line towards Israel, and also indicates that the Middle East's landscape is undergoing a deep transformation. Indeed, previously, Saudi and Israel had sought to normalize relations, and Saudi had maintained a restrained attitude towards Israel.
Why did Saudi speak strongly against Israel this time? This shows that Saudi has realized that the escalating military adventures of the US and Israel are continuously increasing, and the conflict between Iran and Israel keeps spilling over, eventually threatening its own security. Criticizing Israel essentially means keeping distance from the United States. Indeed, this statement may have completely blocked the possibility of a short-term improvement in Saudi-Israeli relations, and Israel's attempt to win over Saudi to isolate Iran has basically failed. Obviously, this is the last thing Israel wants to see, but Saudi understands that Israel's destructive nature has reached a point that cannot be ignored anymore.
