1932
while the u.s.–saudi relationship was growing, their first conflict began when the disorder broke between the jews and arabs in april 1936 in the british-administrated palestine mandate. the u.s. favored the establishment of an independent israeli state, but saudi arabia on the other hand, the leading nation in the islamic and arab world were supporting the arab position which sparked up their first conflict. in other words, the u.s. oil interest in saudi arabia could be held hostage depending on the circumstances of the conflict. u.s. president franklin d. roosevelt sent the king a letter indicating that it is true that the u.s. supports the establishment of a jewish state in palestine, but it is not in any way responsible for the establishment (alnabrab, 2008). bin saud was convinced by the message that the u.s.–saudi relations had begun to run smooth again. moreover, in march 1938, casco made a big oil discovery in saudi arabia booming the oil industry in the country and coincidentally the u.s. became more interested in saudi oil. as a result, on february 4, 1940, as the world war ii was approaching, the u.s. had established a diplomatic presence in saudi arabia to have closer relations with the saudis and to protect it from enemy hand; bert fish, former ambassador in egypt was elected as the u.s. ambassador in jeddah.
