If Iran and its proxies can put significant amounts of troops on the ground in Israel, the whole region erupts.

Who do you consider the proxies? Syria?

Let's hope it doesn't erupt, but even if does, Israel and its proxies, (the USA, the UK and most of the western world) should be able to end things before they even start.

The Saudis have been on friendly terms with the USA since the 1930s. It would take something fairly cataclysmic to end a relationship that has survived the Israel v Egypt wars, 9/11, various Gulf Wars, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and now the Palestinian, Iranian and Yemen conflicts.

Remember, we're talking about Star Wars tech vs some medieval countries.

It's a question of science vs numbers and Benjamin Netanyahu is cleverer and slipperier than any oiled Don King or Mauricio Sulaiman.

To be clear I don’t expect war to heavily physical impact central Saudi. It’s more will it destabilise the region to a point where superstars/fans won’t travel there.

No they can't. Israel's air force is very good. Ground forces do not mean much these days. Even if Iran does not hide behind their proxies, that can not deter boxing in Saudi Aabia.
