Why should Saudi Arabia normalize with Israel? Despite it being an absolute monarchy, the House of Saud can't risk their legitimacy over something 96% of Saudis oppose. No matter who you are or where you live, genocide is a redline, and Zionists have ensured they will be pariahs in the region for decades to come.

Edit: FYI not normalizing is the least Saudi Arabia can do. If it was actually a democracy, or at least responsive to the people's wishes, there would be soldiers marching towards Palestine now. I think if there were any decency and respect to the people's wishes there would no normalization even if there were a Palestinian state. But as I said it is not a democracy and the monarchy does what it wants.
