Even though almost no one looks at this blog, I feel I ought to make clear that recognition of Israel by Saudi Arabia is not worth a penny. All the more so that Israel ought not  allow a terrorist state by its side in return for empty promises. Recognition by nations are empty. Russia also recognized Israel, while it was sending Migs to all the surrounding Arab nations in order to wipe out Israel. Nations have no friends; they have interests [as per Kissinger ]. Saudi Arabia just wants some F-35s, and that is why they are playing nice.
