The Abraham accords allowed Israel to sell AD to UAE and Saudi Arabia. This allowed Saudi Arabia and UAE to combat the the Iranian and Houthi threat.

Bite-Me, Kerry and Blinky did not like this so they tried queering the deal by adding Palestine into the mix.

The Israeli missile system is integrated and can choose the right AD to counter a threat with the most cost effective and otherwise appropriate missile.

It does not matter of a drone costs $20. If it can send back coordinates so that an accurate strike can be launched destroying millions of dollars of equipment, then it is worth shooting a kite with a missile.
