If this were a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, you would hear Saudi Arabia condemning Hamas and Iran. Saudi Arabia would be sending help to Israel to crush the "Iranian puppets" in Gaza. But you won't find that. Here's what I picked up from a Fox News site:
"Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry in a statement soon after the attacks did not condemn Hamas. Instead, the ministry noted that it had repeatedly warned that Israel's 'occupation, the deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights, and the repetition of systematic provocations' led to this moment.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby declined to comment on the Saudi response."
There's really not much daylight between Iran and Saudi Arabia when it comes to supporting Palestinian resistance. This is why the idea of a proxy war is so dangerous - it is the narrative of the Neocons in both U.S. parties who want a war with Iran. Such a war would be a disaster as much for Israel and the US as for Iran.
