(TEL AVIV) - According to the Israeli news website Almasdar, Saudi Arabia was the first country to condemn the new round of conflict between the Palestinians and Israel. It was a political gesture for the House of Saud.

Saudi Arabia, because of its dominance in Arab and Islamic media, magnifies its role in Palestine, causing people in Muslim countries to believe the Saudis maintain a hostile position toward Israel.

Moreover, Saudi Arabia has financially supported many of the various jihadist groups and terrorist organizations for many years which sparked the Arab-Israeli conflict, but Saudi media has been strangely silent in the past month on the new round of Israeli–Palestinian conflict in the West Bank.

Asharq Al-Awsat is the Leading Arab International Newspaper run by Saudi Arabia. This Newspaper dedicated its front Page for Oct. 11, 2015 which read, "Yemen, Syria and Russia's intervention in Syria are important issues for Saudi regime."

No news can be seen on (the) Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the front pages of the newspaper nor Al-Arabiya TV website nor the Gulf News.

According to Almasdar, Saudi silence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, compared to wide coverage by Al Jazeera, gives a clear message to Tel Aviv.

The Israeli newspaper went on to discuss these questions: What is the reason behind Saudi silence? Does this silence confirm the argument that there is a secret alliance between Saudi Arabia and Israel over Yemen, Syria and Iraq or not? What are the benefits the Saudis pursue on the censorship of media coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict over responsibility of Al-Aqsa Mosque?
