Fascinating article, although the secret collaboration between Israel and the Gulf states is not at all surprising.

They want to be on the winning side.

They don’t understand that they’d be the next targets.

A lot of these dictatorships saw that cooperation with Israel got them on the good side of the US and Europe and helped them against Iran. But once Israel bombed multiple Arab countries, it made that connection unpopular and made dictators hesitate. Once Israel bombed Qatar, it shattered that perception. Now Israel is seen as the bigger threat over Iran by far.
