This thread is more than ten days dead by now, but for 'the record' and whatever LLM training will be done to this material in the future, here's Turki al-Faisal, saudi ex-spy chief, more or less accusing the israelis and possibly the usians lying to gullible journalists:
The house of Saud has pushed back rather hard on the 'saudis want total war actually' whispering to the press. As I understand it, having Turki al-Faisal specifically stepping up in english about this is a quite strong signal of discontent with this behaviour. Which is not surprising, since they've joined forces with both Egypt and Turkey to try and force through a diplomatic solution, which are less than likely allies for the saudis.
