I wondered how the Saudis' felt about having missiles fired over their country. It turns out they're probably relieved that the Houthi have a new target.

"Yemen’s Houthi rebels have unleashed a barrage of drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, water desalination plant, oil facility and power station, Saudi state-run media reported."

Saudi and Jordan have intercepted a few of these drones heading to Israel. Arab twitter is raging.

Neither likes Hamas and Saudi definitely isn’t a fan of the Houthis.

It’s funny how several decades ago Israel was seen as the #1 enemy of the Arab world. But now most Arab leaders see Israel as a (potential) economic partner and see Iran and its proxies as the #1 threat.

The problem is that after decades of inciting their own citizens to hate Israel and Jews, they can’t really speak openly in favor of Israel or against Iran.

granted, considering the historical rivalry for the caliphate amongst Arabs, Egyptians, Turks and Persians, I'm not all that surprised
