You’re ignoring the Persian Shia Iran vs Arab Sunni Saudis/Egypt/Jordan dynamic at play. The relationship between Israel and the latter has been improving over the last decades, and it looked like they were going to improve further with a new agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This would be a major regional setback for Iran, who has long vied with the Saudis as the dominant power. Hence their support for the Oct 7 attacks, and its derailment of those agreements.
The Iran vs Saudi cold war isn’t just a secular geopolitical contest. The mutual hatred between Sunni and Shia is extreme - thousands of Muslims a year are killed in sectarian riots and terror attacks, and tens of thousands a year are killed if you include the proxy war in Yemen.
