'A Paper Tiger': Saudi Arabia is weaker than it appears, even after new defense pact, NSC head says...

Brig.-Gen. (res.) Jacob Nagel said Saudi Arabia holds large amounts of weaponry and money yet remains militarily unable to function effectively day to day. He described the kingdom as a "paper tiger" even after a new defense pact.

The remarks came from Israel's former National Security Council head and focused on Riyadh's operational limitations in the region.
