"The treaty with the Saudis is simply bad for American interests."

Taking that as given, American interests have nothing to do with it. Biden needs some kind of foreign policy "win" and this is a bigger prize than bribing the other gulfie tyrants into accepting the "Abraham Accords".

"The good news is that the administration is overreaching and it is unlikely that this treaty will ever be ratified."

Don't kid yourself. Right now, they're just haggling over price.

The idea that there could be a meaningful treaty between the Saudis and the Israelis is sort of comical to begin with.
