Abstract
This paper considers the issue of interaction between two states, which are largely political antagonists: Israel and Saudi Arabia. The nature of the interaction between these states on the world political arena is of serious scientific and practical interest. Contrary to popular stereotypes, Israel maintains relations with many countries of the Arab world, and Saudi Arabia is no exception. It should be noted that a certain rapprochement of positions between these states occurred due to the activation on the geopolitical map of the Middle East of such an actor as Iran, which in the 21st century energetically implements its nuclear program, accelerates economic development programs, and is generally focused on strengthening its role and places in the international arena. The US position represented by the administrations of B. Obama and D. Trump influenced to a large extent the process of intensifying interaction between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which stimulated the rapprochement of the positions of these two states on the “Syrian” and “Iranian” problems. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the establishment of similar positions between Israel and Saudi Arabia on the "Palestinian issue. "
Highlights
Since the formation of the independent Jewish state of Israel, Saudi Arabia, along with the League of Arab States, has been fighting for the rights of the Arab population in Palestine
The nature of the political process in Israel and Saudi Arabia is markedly different at first glance
Over the past decades, both states have been threatened by the environment in which they are located. Both Israel and Saudi Arabia took the position that the only way to protect themselves from their neighbours is either by forceful invasion of their borders, or the organization of armed actions and coups on the hostile territory, as a result of which objectionable rulers would be displaced (Syria, Egypt, Libya)
Summary
Since the formation of the independent Jewish state of Israel, Saudi Arabia, along with the League of Arab States, has been fighting for the rights of the Arab population in Palestine. The nature of this struggle was political but often it took a military connotation. Saudi Arabia and Israel do not have an officially fixed relationship, but, like any rule, there are exceptions. This is precisely the situation we can observe by looking at the dynamics of the development of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Iran’s policy, directly or indirectly, facilitates the establishment of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel
