Ending the Qatar crisis
Okaz newspaper The four countries boycotting Qatar have stressed the need for the Gulf country to comply with their demands and conditions. However, the Qatari regime has done nothing but the opposite, providing further proof that the boycott of Qatar was a wise decision.Qatar has conducted a secret war against the four boycotting countries in the international arena in an attempt to defame their reputation and mobilize international human rights organizations and media against them. Qatari media outlets, led by Al-Jazeera, have continued a vicious campaign against the four countries and their interests.Meanwhile, the four boycotting countries have done nothing except to close the door from one side to prevent the Qatari harm from reaching them, without attempting to target the interests...

Britain after Brexit: Plan B!
The repercussions of the results of the British referendum to exit from the European Union, known as “Brexit”, are ongoing and have not stopped. This was very clear when British Prime Minister Theresa May announced recently that she and her administration have reached a final agreement on the EU exit plan. Only hours after the prime minister’s announcement, the pound quickly collapsed, a significant number of ministers resigned, and concerns hit the real estate sector, one of the most important pillars of the British economy.With the inevitable departure from the European Union, Britain is now looking to revitalize the Commonwealth system, which consists of its former colonies and extends across the globe from Malaysia and India to Kenya and Nigeria through Australia, Canada and many...

Ten major challenges that Saudi Arabia survived
Okaz newspaperTHE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia throughout its political history encountered many challenges and obstacles that could have limited the country's role and put an end to a civilizational project that extended back to 300 years. The wisdom of our leaders and their accumulated political experience, and the solidarity of the Saudi people, helped the country overcome all the obstacles with little or no losses and astonishing victories.One of those incidents took place more than 100 years ago during the unification battles led by King Abdul Aziz, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia, when he tried to win over Arab tribes to support the establishment of the Third Saudi State. The country was in the middle of a deep conflict as it scraped through two world wars that were waged close by,...

Designer genes
A Chinese scientist’s claim to have created the first genetically edited babies has evoked widespread condemnation from the scientific community, for good reason. Playing with humanity’s genetic code could open a Pandora’s box. Scientists could eventually be able to alter DNA to create genetically enhanced human beings, which goes against all the ethics and norms of life as we know it.The Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, used a gene-editing technique known as CRISPR to alter the DNA of two unborn children to make them resistant to HIV.Regardless of the fact that the little data He has revealed suggests that his efforts might or might not have worked, and in fact may have put the babies’ health at risk, there’s a huge difference between gene therapy and genetic engineering. The...

The importance of happiness in the workplace
Okaz newspaperIn some private sector businesses, employees are asked to give up their dignity and self-respect in order to deal with the anger and bad temper of the company’s clients. This has a negative impact on the psychological state of employees and on the level of their productivity. Many employees in such a situation soon learn to hate work and would prefer to stay home, except for the fact that they need the job. Such employees do not find any enjoyment in their work.However, many businesses do not care about the psychological aspects of their employees, despite its importance in the success of the business. If the level of productivity of an employee drops because of psychological pressure, then the company will replace that employee with another one, who in future will most...

Jeddah’s new airport, a delightful song
Okaz newspaperI WAS on a visit to the new King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. This was a few days ago but with the overlapping of events, I could not tell you about this gem of pride that is going to adorn the neckline of the bride of the Red Sea.I remember feeling at the end of the visit that Jeddah will soon have its promised sea, air and train excusions. During the visit, I toured all the facilities of the airport in the company of Essam Fouad, director general of the airport, and a number of young officials.The tour brought happiness to my heart because I came to realize that the residents of Jeddah were in for a pleasant surprise that would be brought by the new airport.The passengers suffered for a long time because of Jeddah›s old airport, which offered them nothing...

Purblind banking madness
A Danish bank, which once boasted a squeaky-clean reputation, has just been charged with money laundering involving at least $230 billion over a period of only two years. Danske Bank, owned by the Maersk shipping family, has already seen the ousting of its chief executive and chairman.The scam centered on the bank’s once obscure branch in Estonia, which it now admits became one of Danske’s most profitable operations as it took in tens of billions of suspect foreign currency, largely from Russians or citizens from former Soviet States.But the ripples from this major financial scandal are spreading beyond Copenhagen. Thursday police and financial regulators conducted a high-profile raid on the prestigious Frankfurt headquarters of mighty Deutsche Bank.The whistleblower at the Danish...

In search for fame
People who have spent a few years as doctors and researchers after many years of study want to be in the limelight by holding administrative positions. They think by working in the professions they studied, they cannot come under the media spotlight.MANY professors in our universities and researchers in our hospitals and scientific centers are people who have spent long years of hard work in the best international institutions. They reached the highest academic levels after a long and arduous journey. This journey started with 12 years in the general education and then several years in the university until they obtained their Master’s and PhDs in fields that are much in demand in our country.However, people who have spent a few years as doctors and researchers after many years of study...

Women must speak out against domestic violence
I REMEMBER my first encounter with domestic violence when I was six years old and living in America. I was at the house of a Palestinian friend of my mother when the woman’s husband stormed in drunk and started hitting her for no apparent reason. It was terrifying to me for I had never seen such uncalled-for violence.Now 17 years later, I hear that the woman is still married to that man. I realize that she cannot do anything but stay married. She has no education, no home, no family and she cannot go back to her country. However, Saudi women who are fortunate to have all of those things are prevented from acting because of “shame and reputation”.There are no accurate statistics about domestic violence in Saudi Arabia because most violence is unreported. The government of Saudi Arabia...

In Azov Sea, Putin plays a deadly Ukraine game
ReutersWhen Vladimir Putin opened a new bridge linking Crimea to the rest of Russia across the Azov Sea in May, Russian officials said it was intended to integrate the disputed peninsula - seized by Moscow from Ukraine in 2014 - into Russia’s transport infrastructure. By limiting ships transiting the Kerch Strait beneath the giant central span of the bridge, however, it also gave the Kremlin the ability to control maritime access to an area of water roughly the size of Switzerland.On Sunday, Moscow turned the key in that door by using a cargo ship to block entry to the Azov Sea. As warplanes and combat helicopters flew overhead, Russian border patrol boats seized three Ukrainian naval ships after opening fire on them and wounding several sailors. On Monday, Russia’s FSB security...
