Nah keep Israel out of this. First, it would benefit from secular democracies in the region. Second it has seen far worse things than "Muslims united" and it has won.

The only factors are that big global/regional players (USA, Iran, Turkey, SA) like their vassal state to be easily controlled. And that most cultures there do not have a history of democracy, or for that matter of national states.

This time, both sides will have nukes: even the "winner" will still lose.

Edit: what absolutely baffled me was the eagerness of the previous US administration to do nulcear tech transfer to Saudi Arabia; I couldn't see any tactical or strategic advantage to that.

When exactly has Israel specifically won?

The Suez War, the Six-Day War, and the Yom Kippur War, I guess?
