    Just planting the seeds to manufacture consent for a future war/invasion/destructive action. I assume after Israel fully takes over Palestine, Israel won’t have as much of a need to feign friendliness or even neutrality to countries like Saudi Arabia (Egypt is likely also on the hit list). The bad actions of enemy states are always useful to bring up at a later date to build a case for their destruction. For example, China’s human rights abuses were allowed to happen for a long time with maybe a call-out here or there (planting the seeds), but the case intensified when China threatening the US’s top world economic spot became even a remote possibility.

      No, SA and Egypt are vital to Israel’s continued existence

      You’re thinking of Syria, Iraq, and Iran

        Syria and Iraq are the ones they’ve beaten down. Iran is one of the next ones, definitely before Saudi Arabia. Make no mistake, when the other dominoes fall, countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt are next. It’s simple divide and conquer.
