Saudi Arabia has played a nebulous role in the Israel-Hamas conflict so far, seemingly aware it must balance its goals of normalization with Israel against regional anger.
Saudi Arabia’s defense minister is set to visit the White House this week in a bid to tamp down regional tensions in the Middle East after the kingdom reportedly shot down a missile fired from Yemen that was intended for Israel. 'I can tell you that Saudi Arabia wants to make sure that the U.S. fully understands the humongous ramifications of the Israeli ground invasion into Gaza,' Salman Al-Ansari, an independent Saudi Arabian geopolitical analyst, told Fox News Digital.
Saudi Arabia warned Saturday that 'any ground operation by Israel would threaten the lives of Palestinian civilians and result in inhumane dangers.' Israel’s much-anticipated ground offensive has seen a number of delays as the U.S. and other Western allies urge Israel to hold off until the release of the 220 hostages believed held by Hamas.
The U.S. should give hints to Israel that Netanyahu needs to back off,' Al-Ansari said, adding that Netanyahu 'will keep making more historic mistakes over and over.' Tensions in the Middle East remain high following a Hamas terrorist attack on Oct. 7 that killed 1,400 Israelis and saw Hamas kidnap over 220 hostages – some of whom have been released in the following weeks.
Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said while Iran did not 'explicitly' order the attack, the department believed that, 'When you see this uptick in activity and attacks by many of these groups… there’s Iranian fingerprints all over it.
