Basically because the US put them there, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was because of some backroom whispers that the Saudis would stop selling their oil in US dollars if they weren't let onto said committee (I think they may actually have chaired it at some point).

But basically Saudi Arabia and Israel have the US by the balls in their own ways and it produces seriously disgusting results.

Israel's got its problems with how they treat Palestinians, but I honestly prefer them over the Saudis because at least Israel is much better for women and LGBT people.
