I heard a rumor a few years ago that Israel was working with the Kurds, who I guess don't share the rest of the region's animosity toward Jews, to run a pipeline from there. I have no idea whether there's been enough time to finish such a project, but I've never seen anything about it in the media version of the war.

I've heard that the US brokered a deal between the House of Saud and Israel. We figured that our two biggest allies in the region shouldn't be ready to annihilate each other with the billions of dollars in gear we sent them.
The SA government publicly condemns the terrorist attacks and doesn't fund them (officially anyway) and the IDF doesn't turn Riyad into a smoking crater. And all the commerce that goes along with allied nations.
