Saudi Arabia and the third Gaza war

Saudi Arabia and the third Gaza war

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has assumed a very low profile so far during the third Gaza war, speaking publicly rarely and primarily backing its Egyptian ally behind the scenes. Some have confused this quiet as a tacit entente with Israel against Hamas misreading the Saudi position; the kingdom increasingly regards the Netanyahu government as a criminal state.
Summary: Saudi Arabia has remained quiet during the current Gaza war, working instead through Egypt.
