This post refers to some new and remarkable historical findings (at least for the English-speaking world), stemming from new translation to English from Arabic, that can put more pieces into the the puzzle of the apparently amicable relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The first part of this post is not new, though useful in quoting for context
