sure, the Saracens wanted the holy land, not disputing that, and they likely would have gone to war again. A question though, did Chatillon actually manage to do more damage to Saladin than  breaking the treaty did to him and the Crusaders?

Sure, counterfactual history is unclear so it’s a fair point. I just think that Saladin’s manifest intention was to unite the Arab states to retake Jerusalem, and time probably did not favor the Christians, so in that context I think Chatillon’s behavior made strategic sense, whether or not it was actually the wisest course.
