Saudi Arabia missing in Afghanistan?

The UAE's acceptance of Israel hasn't helped either because it is viewed as having at least a tacit approval from the Saudis.

But, now US again threat to re-enter in Afghanistan. Because too much pressure inside Congress for leaving Afghanistan without any future plan, where it raised the question of US militarily and diplomatic influence in the region and world ...
