Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
With the intensification of the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding tens of thousands, and in light of the failure of all peace efforts, some have raised questions about the oil card, and why the Gulf countries do not want to use it to push Israel to stop these massacres.
The official response came from the Saudi Minister of Investment, Khalid Al-Falih, who confirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not currently examining the possibility of using oil weapons to pressure a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Falih told Bloomberg, in response to a question about whether Riyadh would use economic tools, including the price of oil, to pressure to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza: “This matter is not being discussed today. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is trying to achieve peace from During peaceful discussions.
Observers enumerated many reasons why the Kingdom and the Gulf states in general did not propose using this important card, especially in light of the absolute American support for Israel in this war.

On the part of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, who announced that his country’s authorities informed the United States through diplomatic channels of their unwillingness to aggravate the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Abdullahian said in an interview with the British Financial Times newspaper, published today, Friday: “We informed the United States that Iran does not want the war to spread, but any option (the development of events) becomes possible, and the expansion of the conflict becomes inevitable, because of the approach that... The United States and Israel will follow it in the region, and if the crimes against the residents of Gaza and the West Bank do not stop.” According to the Iranian minister, Iran and the United States conducted contacts through the American section of the Swiss embassy in Tehran over the past forty days, during which the possibility of direct discussions between Tehran and Washington was ruled out, according to what the newspaper reported.

Earlier, Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations told Reuters that Tehran would not enter into a direct conflict with Tel Aviv unless Israel launched an attack on Iran. Yesterday, Thursday, the Iranian Foreign Minister denied his country's responsibility for attacks on American interests in Iraq and Syria, stressing that the armed factions that launched these attacks took their own decisions. Armed factions have been targeting bases housing American forces in Iraq and Syria since the outbreak of war in Gaza on October 7th. Regarding the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, Abdullahian said in an interview with CBS News, “We absolutely do not want this crisis to expand, but the United States is increasing the ferocity of the war in Gaza with its great support for Israel.” Abdullahian described the “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack carried out by Hamas on Israel on October 7th as “its legitimate right to self-defense,” but stressed that his country opposes “the killing of women and children anywhere.”

On the other hand, the chief spokesman for the Israeli army said on Friday that Israeli forces will bomb Hamas targets wherever they find them, including in the southern Gaza Strip, while the forces continue their ground operation in the northern besieged Strip. Admiral Daniel Hagari added in a regular press conference, “We are determined to move forward with our operation. This will be anywhere where Hamas is present, including the southern Gaza Strip.” Reuters quoted the spokesman as saying, "It will happen at the time, place and circumstances most appropriate for the army." The Israeli army pushed one and a half million Palestinians to leave their homes in northern Gaza and asked them to go to the south, considering the northern region a field for military operations, as it says that the Hamas movement is concentrating its presence in the north. With the displacement of this large number of Palestinians to the south, many fear that the expansion of military operations in the southern regions will lead to heavy human losses among civilians.

Saudi Arabia may likely not cut off oil supplies to Israel,but restarting negotiations on establishment of diplomatic relations for the first time between the two nations is going to be very difficult, judging from the outcome of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Moreover SA has been insisting that the two state solution is an important requirement for recognising Israel and establishing diplomatic relations with it.

Oga Saudi Arabia does not sell oil to Israel. As of today, there is zero diplomatic or trade relationship between the 2 states. Saudi Arabia does not even recognize Israel as a nation.
As of 911 most of the terrorist were Saudis and Saudi has been very close to the US for a long time now.
The relationship only became a bit unstable under Bidens leadership.
