Why does Israel back the Saudis as well? I would think Israel wouldn't like the Saudis either. Are their motivations to have Saudia Arabia rein in the other Muslim states under their control so Israel doesn't have to deal with a ton of different hostile states against them ?

‘I like them very much:’ Trump has long-standing business ties with Saudis, who have boosted his hotels since he took office

"Saudi Arabia is not just a political ally. It has also been a customer. Trump’s business relationships with the Saudi government — and rich Saudi business executives — go back to at least the 1990s. In Trump’s hard times, a Saudi prince bought a superyacht and hotel from him. The Saudi government paid him $4.5 million for an apartment near the United Nations."

For anyone wondering why Saudi Arabia wasn't on his Muslim travel ban list.

Trump vows "severe punishment" if Saudi Arabia is behind missing journalist
President Donald Trump said in an interview with 60 Minutes that the Saudis could be behind the disappearance of missing journalist and Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi, and if so, the U.S. would inflict "severe punishment." In a clip broadcast on "CBS This Morning," Mr. Trump said there is a lot at stake "and maybe especially so because this man was a reporter."

The interview is his first with 60 Minutes since his post-election conversation with Lesley Stahl in November 2016. It will be broadcast on 60 Minutes Sunday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. PT on CBS.

Mr. Trump said the Saudis denied "in every way you can imagine" having anything to do with Khashoggi's disappearance when his son-in-law Jared Kushner spoke with Saudi Arabia's crown prince. But Mr. Trump said the country may still be responsible and an investigation is ongoing. "Could it be them? Yes," the president said.

When asked what kind of punishments he may pursue if Saudi Arabia is found to be behind the disappearance, Mr. Trump wouldn't commit to sanctions or cutting sales of military equipment to Saudi from American companies.

"I'll tell you what I don't want to do," Mr. Trump said, "I don't want to hurt jobs. I don't want to lose an order like that. And you know what, there are other ways of punishing."

"There's a lot at stake," Mr. Trump continued. "And, maybe especially so because this man was a reporter. There's something, you'll be surprised to hear me say that, there's something really terrible and disgusting about that if that was the case."

Stahl interviewed Mr. Trump at the White House on Thursday. Their discussion also touched on controversial tariffs, China, North Korea, Russia, NATO and global warming.

So I am in the process of going to work for the Saudis. Should I tell them to fuck off? What's the deal?
