WEST NEEDS SAUDIES
Spain needs to preserve its relations, both political and economic, with Saudi Arabia. In economic terms, this means guaranteeing thousands of jobs in the companies that are related to Riyadh. The "Ave" of the desert is one of the best achievements of the Marca España. And that can not be thrown overboard.
Western countries, in general, and the US, in particular, have the same dilemma and presumably they will not run the risk of opening a conflict with the Arab country.
The New York Times today issues a comment worthy of the greatest interest:

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has been an important strategic partner of the United States since President Franklin Roosevelt met with King Ibn Saud, the founder of the Saudi state, at the close of World War II. In recent years, the United States has worked closely with Saudi Arabia on issues critical to both countries. Stabilizing global oil markets, combating terrorism and countering Iranian regional adventurism are just three. We also need to engage the Saudis in areas where we are not in 100 percent agreement, such as their debilitating war in Yemen and their conflict with Qatar.
