How did Saudi 🇸🇦 and UAE 🇦🇪 assist Israel against the Palestinians after Oct 7?
💥 MILITARY
1. Leaked Oct 2023 government doc showed UAE offering tanks, missiles, logistics, intelligence from its bases in Yemen, Eritrea & Somalia to help Israel “defeat the terrorists in Palestine.”
2. UAE joined U.S.-led CENTCOM “Regional Security Construct” with Israel for joint planning, trainings, radar/intel sharing (including on Hamas-style tunnels).
3. UAE firms and partners provided arms to Israeli military contractors during the war.
4. Saudi shared radar/intel and helped the U.S.-led coalition intercept 99% of Iran’s April 2024 (and later) missile/drone attacks on Israel.
5. Saudi participated in the same Israel-Arab coordination on Iran and Houthis.
💥 ECONOMIC
1. UAE saw trade grow 11% in 2023–24, and held secret talks on post-Hamas Gaza governance and reconstruction.
2. Saudi facilitated a land bridge bypass for Houthi Red Sea blockade. Saudi quietly allowed overland truck route so goods reached Israel by road in ~4 days instead of 14+ by sea.
💥 DIPLOMATIC
1. UAE kept full normalization, kept their ambassador in Tel Aviv, and held secret talks on post-Hamas Gaza governance and reconstruction eith Israel.
2. Saudi condemned Hamas attack, pushed for Hamas disarmament as precondition for any Saudi role in Gaza “day after,” and avoided full diplomatic isolation of Israel.
💥 REMEMBER: Saudi and UAE are the partners of Israel and have since 2023 consistently worked with Israel in facilitating the mass extermination of Palestinians in Gaza.
