Relations between the Kingdom and Israel have never really been more than simply proper, but they have cooperated on areas where they have a mutual interest before.
Both are concerned about the topics of Iran's nukes and the threat ISIS poses. I have to wonder where the talks indicated by this visit will lead.

Between this, their cooperative relationship with Egypt and Jordan, Israel will be facing fewer and fewer threats along its border. Peace?

They were much closer to a real peace before the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS were allowed to really take root and grow. Even Gadaffi was more or less minding his manners knowing Egypt was ready and willing to drop a house on him.
That's gone now. So far as I can tell Egypt is still in turmoil and will continue to be for some years, Libya is ISIS' North Africa HQ and the rest of North and Central Africa is infested with Islamists like offshoots of ISIS and Boko Haram.
The 3 most stable powers are Israel, Jordan and Saudi and all 3 are worried about Iran and the IS animals.
Peace? More like cooperation forced by common enemies, sort of like the Western Allies and the USSR during WWII, I think.
