Saudi Arabia's Dependence Is a Choice, Not a Sentence
The verdict delivered by recent commentary on the Kingdom's position — that Riyadh is condemned to depend on Washington because Benjamin Netanyahu's preferences will always outrank Mohammed bin Salman's ambitions — captures something real but tells only half the story. The Israeli veto over Saudi Arabia's nuclear ambitions is documented and consequential. What gets lost is the Kingdom's own agency in choosing, again and again, how exposed to make itself. The events of spring and summer 2026 offer a rare natural experiment in exactly this question, and the answer they give is more interesting than fate.
