'Knock it off Saudi Arabia': Lindsey Graham scolds Saudi leader over rift with UAE

US Senator Lindsey Graham publicly told Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to end his feud with the UAE. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Graham defended the UAE's leader, Mohamed bin Zayed, and stated the conflict between the two Gulf states emboldens Iran. The rift has been fueled by Saudi criticism of the UAE's close partnership with Israel, with the UAE allegedly pushing pro-Israel groups to label Saudi Arabia as antisemitic in response. This tension between the former allies also extends to proxy conflicts in other parts of the Middle East, including Yemen and Sudan.
