Since the fighting began, Saudi Arabia finds itself in an uncomfortable position.
On the one hand, there is the resounding statement of the Crown Prince about three weeks ago about progress towards normalization, and on the other hand, she cannot express public support for Israel's attacks on Gaza.
It is important to note that until this moment, Saudi Arabia has not issued an official condemnation of the murderous attack by Hamas on the settlements of the south.
Yesterday Crown Prince bin Salman spoke with a number of Arab leaders about the situation and this is what was released to the media on his behalf: "Saudi Arabia stands by the Palestinian people so that they can achieve their legitimate rights to a dignified life, realize their hopes and aspirations and achieve a just and sustainable peace."
