What an understatement of a headline.

As someone intimately familiar with the Gulf - the “reality check” is just that it’s going to be more expensive to buy Saudi Arabia off for Israel. That’s literally it. As for Qatar, they can either tank relations with it or surrender to the fact that they can’t simply buy and subjugate eveyone to create a Potemkin peace where no Arabs can even speak to, speak in favor of or ise their influence to support other Arabs who are threatened by Israel.
