    Meh. If they get pulled in and actually commit, Israel would be wiped off the map.

    I don’t think they’d actually be able to do that though. Israel still has enough support from around the world. Maybe a lot of precision strikes to destroy their defensive positions, then let the bordering countries take back their land.

      They’re on the same side, so why would they do that? Anyway, the military power of the Gulf statelets, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is barely sufficient to sustain their genocide against the dirt-poor Houthis, let alone to attack a hard target like Israel. Tehy spend far more money spying on and repressing their own people.

      The Gulf states aren’t going to fight Israel. If they do join the war, they’ll be fighting alongside Israel.

          Because they’ve signed treaties with Israel making that very clear.

          They give lip service to Arab solidarity, but they actually fear it.

          They’re all a part of the same coalition that is under US protection and against the influence of Iran and Turkey.
