The "security agreement" was actually a protection racket run by Israel and the US. The Saudis were, of course, willing participants for a long time. They were paying the American bag man so that they were not struck by "Jewish lightning".
MBS wants to break his country free of all that. I suppose he has judged that their lightning protection is now sufficient to the task. Also, the lightning is having tremendous trouble striking anything other than women and children, and the storm may, in fact, soon abate.
