• The main bet of Bin Salman was to succeed in the war of Yemen and to get out of it victorious by alienating Iran from the Gulf, and thus to be presented as the inheritor of the Saudi throne, but he failed.
• The bet of Bin Salman became to be presented as an exclusive agent of the US President Donald Trump in the Gulf to overthrow Qatar by the knockout but he failed.
• The bet of Bin Salman was to play with the Lebanese sectarian card against Hezbollah and to grant it a cover for the Americans and the Israelis to wage their anticipated war against Hezbollah, but he failed twice
• The first time was after his game has been revealed by detaining the Lebanese Prime Minister and igniting the party which was loyal to Saudi Arabia, which its slogan has become O, Saudis leave Al Hariri, rather than the declaration of the war on Hezbollah.
• The second time was through the solidarity Lebanese positions especially the presidency of the Republic and Hezbollah by refusing to discuss the post-Al-Hariri phase before his release and his return to Lebanon, and the turning of the issue from the assumption of Lebanese coup against Hezbollah into an uprising against Saudi Arabia.
• The question becomes about the extent of the American and the Israeli response to the call of Bin Salam to go to war.
• The American and the Israeli considerations are governed by the interests, but neither the Americans nor the Israelis will get involved in failed wars for the sake of Saudi Arabia, most importantly is that the solidarity prevailed instead of the planned tension between Hezbollah and the rest of the Lebanese people.
