The Gigantic City Project Called NEOM: Saudi Arabia Might Recognize Israel Because of NEOM Project

Yes, a pipeline through Syria rather than Israel wasn’t smart, and the Saudis probably knew it at the time. Times have changed. As to relations with Israel, could the Saudis recognize that a Republican, a Trump perhaps, if relations are to warm, this is the time to do it.

[Cronos]

MBS is making a number of mistakes:

1. Saudi Arabia is an empire of the Saud family tied in with the al-Wahhab family and Wahabbi clerics
2. It is based on 3 pillars:
   1. a strict religious tie in in the state wious police etc
   2. tacit agreement to spread Wahabbism, leading to the rise of Al Waeda, the Taliban, Abu SAyyaff, Al Shabab, Boko Haram
   3. Money payouts to the people to keep them happy -- no need to work, low cost for petrol, free handouts
3. MBS is destroying 1 and 2 and he is running out of money for 3

Tying up with Israel will cause the Palestinians, Turks and other Sunnis to attack the Al Saud family, leading to the collapse of the Saudi Empire

The Iranians will be extremely happy with this. They get the Saudis to collapse. That's the only reason they were "anti-Israel" -- Hamas are Sunni and hate Shia

Another nice thing about a huge, purpose-built, EPCOT-like megalopolis for all Arabs to reside, is, if they got nuts again, one air raid, goodbye.

Great point about the pipeline.

The Saudis have most of their oil fields in the predominantly Shia area of the country.

if they got nuts again, one air raid, goodbye.

I think it's safe to assume that such a futuristic city would have next generation air defenses.
