While I see little religious significance for Saudi Arabia, the political aspect of it seems to be following earlier neo-con. Ideals of creating a vatican state out of Mecca and Medina- the Saudis were always going to end up as a third party- despite their fears that without mecca or medina they woud lose credibility; the US establishment needs them to control the oil within their current territorial area.
And so, with orbs and light shows they have pledged their allegiance to the new ruler.
The Qataris have long wished to play a larger role as "fixers" and this is just their clientele becoming unhappy they did not deliver as promised.
