I arrived recently to a new job. And now I see headlines of US posing sanctions on Saudi to to the war in Yemen and the recent killing of the Saudi journalist. I worry that it may affect my job security.

Thoughts anyone?

I don't think that these events will have any impact on your job security. Even countries which Saudi doesn't have good relationships (which it does with US irrespective of what is happening now) or faces lots of ups/downs with; a lot of nationals of those countries work in Saudi. The problem, if it gets to be a big issue, is on issuance of new visas or renewals when contracts end - I haven't heard of existing visas being cancelled and expats being deported whenever situations like this happen.
