Uhm... I really can't say but I think the revelations by the New York Times of this meeting involving Prince Erik ,George Nader the person representing these two princes that you reference, has many elements that probably need to be disentangled before you understand why or what the motivations were for the UAE and the Saudis to be interested in Trump.
Although All these questions have various sets of answers,different significances in terms of legal liability etc. With regards to the motivations for the Saudis and the UEA, the Abu Dhabi prince, again, we can only speculate based on what we know about the strategic interests of these countries. Both of these countries, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have strategic postures that are att odds with Iran, for instance, which plays out in conflicts in Syria in Yemen and within the broader Middle East.So it’s obviously open to conjectures that one of the potential goals for the Saudis and the UAE to be interested in dealing with the Trump campaign as opposed to the Clinton campaign, was Trump’s more likely predilection to favour their strategic interests based on his well-publicised statements published over a number of years.

Saudi Arabia was a major factor in Trump being able to fulfill his promises. With the young prince who wants to bring about change to the Kingdom; in that time there was a major purge of criminals, women are now allowed to drive, and more, that are recent changes. This also ties into the Las Vegas shooting.
Similar with Israel. By putting the Embassy in Israel (which is almost certainly part of discussion) it would be attacked by Palestine, which would highlight the issues going on. I'm not sure if that was like a chess move, time will tell.
I do agree with the author, this is nothing to be distracted about.
