It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia is a key player in the region and its stance on Israel has always been closely watched.
The reasons behind Saudi Arabia’s sudden change in position are yet to be fully understood. However, it is speculated that the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine may have played a role in the decision.
The ongoing conflict has sparked widespread outrage and protests across the world, leading to increased pressure on countries to take a clear stance.
