@rikefranke It might make sense if you bring third parties into the story. If Saudi Arabia and Israel were working toward a normalization of relations, Iran would be unhappy. Since Iran supports Hamas financially and militarily, it must have some influence over Hamas that it could use that to try and isolate Israel. Israel's reaction could very well create an outcome Iran wants: Israeli isolation. But I've been wondering the same thing: how does this help the Palestinian cause as such? Does it?
