Saudi Arabia considers itself the leader of Islamic world due to the Holiest sites, Makkah and Madinah being there. After the Iranian revolution of 1979 a new power race started in the region between Saudi Arabia and Iran. This cause is used cynically by the Arab world to divert attention from their government’s internal repression. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Iran, Syria and Lebanon are more concerned with sectarian and ideological divisions. President Trump moved the US embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem but there was no reaction by the Arab world.
