I don't know how good this source is but it's supposed to be based on info from the Panama papers.

Why would the Saudi king want Netanyahu reelected?

Isaac Herzog, member of the Knesset and Chairman of the Israeli Labor party, revealed that Saudi king Salman bin Abdulaziz financed the election campaign of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. “In March 2015, King Salman has deposited eighty million dollars to support Netanyahu’s campaign via a Syrian-Spanish person named Mohamed Eyad Kayali. The money was deposited to a company’s account in British Virgin Islands owned by Teddy Sagi, an Israeli billionaire and businessman, who has allocated the money to fund the campaign Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu”, Herzog cited a leaked Panama Paper.

No, contrary to popular belief Israel and Saudi Arabia are closer then you think. The peasant people of Saudi Arabia hate jewish people, that's a no brainer. However, Saudi Arabia and Israel share a common foe, Iran. Iran funds hezzbollah, a militia agitator constantly fucking with Israel, they also shoot ballistic missiles which are totally against the deal they made with Obama with death to israel on it. Saudi just hates on Iran because of their oil and yes they hate Iran enough to have a pact of coordinated military action against Iran

Isn't this like what America does when we pay people to like us?

Saudi Arabia usually thinks its buying something or it thinks Netanyahu is an afwul leader and wants to degrade Israel by having that idiot in charge.
