Saudi Arabia Might Be Moving Away from Turkey and Back toward Israel
The return of the camp of stability.
On September 27, Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Abu Dhabi for a high-level meeting of representatives from Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, and other regional players. Eran Lerman sees in this meeting a return of what he calls the “camp of stability,” a group of Sunni Arab countries opposed to Iran and to Islamism, and loosely aligned with Israel and the U.S. In recent years, this camp has been fractured by the Saudi-UAE split and Riyadh’s decision to join Turkey and Pakistan in the Mecca Agreement.
