Saudi Arabia believes it is “invulnerable” and it can do whatever it wants to any country or even its own people due to the United States' support, says an analyst.

“But I think those days are ending very quickly because the genocide Saudi Arabia has been launching against Yemen, and I would say the eventual next genocide against Qatar, is indicative of a Saudi Arabian regime that is on its last legs, that no doubt it is going to suffer its own coup d'état or force removal by the people or by competing interests in the kingdom,” Scott Bennett, former US army psychological warfare officer, told Press TV in an interview on Sunday.

The comments came after a dozen civilians lost their lives and several others sustained injuries when Saudi warplanes targeted a residential area in Yemen's southwestern province of Ta'izz, only days after the United Nations put the Saudi-led coalition on its annual list of shame.
