How do we respond to the current discourse suggesting that believers should boycott Arab countries that have normalized relations, including Saudi Arabia, which would entail calling for a boycott of going to Hajj as it would support their government?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Suspending Hajj and discussing issues related to the Islamic community in general are matters that scholars and jurists cannot overlook due to their significance. If there were a specific stance, they would guide us accordingly. Additionally, engaging in such discussions may have serious consequences.
Furthermore, after the passing of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it is not possible to abrogate the rulings of Islamic law.
Changes in circumstances, the emergence of necessity or compulsion, or the presence of a temporary obstacle to implementing a ruling do not constitute abrogation.
May you be successful in all good.
