They are tolerant of all religions. And if you persecute Jews in Saudi Arabia they will come down on you with the full force of the law.
They are also an Israeli military ally.
Yeah, they are tolerant of all religions as long as they are not practiced in SA.
And you cannot enter Saudi with an Israeli passport.
Japan and South Korea hate each other in the media, in politics as well.
But if there is a war with North Korea and China they are on the same side.
If Japan and South Korea were best friends it would make diplomatic engagement with China difficult.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are on the same side in a war with Iran or anyone.
But, if in the hostile Muslim countries, where Israel is the demon against Islam, people thought that Saudi didn't have some sanctions against Israel, Saudi Arabia, as an Islamic kingdom, would have zero negotiating powers or credibility with countries that are not aligned with them already. Such as Syria. Or Iran. Or previously Iraq.
