AHC: Hashemite-dominated Arabia

Is there any way for a reverse of OTL to happen in Arabia? A scenario where the Kingdom of Hejaz conquers the Kingdom of Najd, resulting in a kingdom of Hashemite Arabia? How would this effect the oil politics of the middle east, with a country that rules both Iraq and the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf? Would the defeat of the Saudis butterfly the rise of radical islam?Would Israel still be founded? What would relations with Iran be like? Would it be seperate kingdoms, or one big one? Would the Hashemite monarch be overthrown as per OTL everywhere except Jordan?

The British don't betray the Hashemites and continue to support them. IOTL they just stopped helping them out in Arabia, same with the Rashids.

How would this effect the oil politics of the middle east, with a country that rules both Iraq and the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf? Would it be seperate kingdoms, or one big one?
What? The Hashemites would rule Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq.
It could be one state though. This would be in line with the promises to the Hashemites and at the time Arabia was thought to be a useless desert.

Would the defeat of the Saudis butterfly the rise of radical islam?
Pretty much, though things could always turn ugly. Wahabism is pretty much gone.

Would Israel still be founded?
Maybe.

What would relations with Iran be like?
Probably rivals but not as much as OTL.

Would the Hashemite monarch be overthrown as per OTL everywhere except Jordan?
No.
