Trump's remarks on Saudi Arabia
Okaz newspaperSINCE the Turkish government began leaking information about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman has been the target of malicious media attacks from abroad. But why specifically Prince Muhammad?This is because the crown prince had taken a huge leap forward crossing at least 10 years and placing Saudi Arabia in the clubs of big countries such as the Group of 20. He is also behind the major social reforms in the country, which ended the sufferings of the people that they endured in the past. If it were not for his astute decision for change, the country would still have been living in the past and would have remained behind at many levels and areas.The crown prince's ambition for the country to advance to the future and his tactics in...

Trump's remarks on Saudi Arabia

Airbnb’s refusal to handle stolen property
THE decision by the online letting agency Airbnb to stop listing properties in illegally-built Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem is being widely welcomed. However, it must be wondered why this hugely successful international online operation ever thought in the first place that it was acceptable to hire out settler homes. As with social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter it clearly seemed enough for the founders of these organizations to develop a compelling business idea and code up a highly user-friendly online interface, then sit back and rake in the money. Airbnb along with cab-hailing service Uber and its imitators, has gloried in its disruption of established markets. In doing so it has come up against local regulators intent on trying to protect...

Tipu Sultan: A great warrior!
FOR the past few years, the status and stature of Tipu Sultan have unnecessarily been mired in controversy. Every year, especially around the date of his birth anniversary which falls on 20 November, debate gets heated up in the state of Karnataka in India. Right-wing groups cobble up a few leaves from different books to support their view that Tipu Sultan killed several Hindus, oblivious of the fact that most of such books which have been written in the past 200 years extract references from volumes penned by English writers who harbored nothing but hatred for Tipu Sultan. Certainly, history is better viewed from historical evidence of the time of its unfolding, as history written or presented later gets distorted and altered in varying degrees.First things first: From the time of his...

Crossing the red line
THE vicious campaign against Saudi Arabia is continuing relentlessly. It is directly targeted at Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman. This meant targeting the future of Saudi Arabia, which the crown prince represents with his vision, ambition and swift decision-making.The crown prince took quick steps to resolve issues that threatened the security of the Kingdom specifically and the Arab-Gulf region in general. Qatar from the start stood against Saudi Arabia as it acted as an agent of the forces of destruction and chaos.In the next stage, these forces targeted countries of the region that still enjoyed stability, including Saudi Arabia, which stood firmly against this project of destruction and put an end to the dreams of its agents and mercenaries.Never before the world media, US officials...

How Tabuk greeted the King
OkazPrince Fahd said what made the King so happy that day was the sight of citizens on the sidewalks to greet him. It is great blessing for a king to have his people love him so deeply.MY friend in Tabuk suggested that we go early to the sports stadium where the people of the city were going to receive Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman so that we can get around possible traffic blocks when the royal motorcade leaves the airport.We started from the hotel four hours before the ceremony was scheduled to begin. The first thing I noticed was the long line of people waiting on the sidewalks to greet the King when the royal procession would pass. When we reached the stadium, I found it completely full with enthusiastic citizens even though several hours were left for the King to...

Seeking justice from the Real Estate Development Fund
OkazA Saudi man received a loan from the Real Estate Development Fund in 1433 H. (2012). But the property that was mortgaged to the Fund was seized in favor of King Abdullah Sports City. The citizen then returned the loan to the Fund in the hope that he would be compensated with another loan for a new property, due to the fact that he had not benefited from the first loan because the situation was out of his control.The director of the Real Estate Development Fund approved his request after he received the green light from the legal department of the Fund. The man then signed another contract and took out a mortgage on another property, but the loan was not deposited in his account. It seems that his papers were lost between offices and he fell victim to changing rules. He tried many times...

Pointless Interpol wrangling
There is something distinctly odd about the row that has broken out over the appointment of a new head of Interpol, the international clearing agency for police intelligence and arrest warrants.A South Korean, Kim Jong-yang, has just been chosen by a majority of Interpol’s 194 member states meeting in Dubai for their annual conference. The Russians have called “foul”, insisting that their candidate, Alexander Prokopchuk, who had initially appeared to be the favorite, was undermined by a concerted US-led lobbying effort to block his election.And, indeed, there were Western claims that Prokopchuk, a retired general and senior member of the Russian interior ministry, had abused Interpol’s international arrest warrant system to try and detain overseas critics of Kremlin policies. One...

King Salman’s speech sends powerful message
The address of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman to the Shoura Council came with good news for Saudis and explicit messages for the international community. In a nutshell, we can say that the annual opening address at the Shoura contained definitive features of the Kingdom’s domestic and foreign policies. It also emphasized that the Kingdom will continue to play a pioneering role in local, regional and international arenas. If anyone thinks that the media smear campaign to which the Kingdom has been subjected to will lead to a reduction in this major role, he will be greatly disappointed.The messages pertaining to King Salman’s domestic policies from which he never deviated since his assumption of power in 2015 can be summarized as follows: Saudi citizens are of the first...

King Salman’s speech sends powerful message

Can US-China relations be saved?
ReutersAt the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting on Saturday afternoon, Chinese diplomats arrived unexpectedly at the Foreign Ministry of host Papua New Guinea. Angry at Papua New Guinea’s support for American wording in the meeting’s final communiqué, they only left after police were called, Australian and other media reported.Chinese officials denied the reports, saying suggestions they had tried to bully officials from the smaller nations were “simply untrue.” But the reported face-off dramatically underscored how a gathering that had hoped to ease tensions between Beijing and Washington’s allies in the region looks to have inflamed them instead. Two weeks before a landmark meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the G20 in...

A Spaniard in the works?
Cancelling the UK’s membership in the European Union has proved far more difficult than was expected by the majority of Britons who voted for Brexit in June 2016. The then-new Prime Minister Theresa May added what could prove to be a catastrophic complication by calling a snap election a year later. Designed to consolidate her Conservative Party’s hold on power, it actually saw her lose her absolute majority and be forced into coalition with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionists.The 27 member states who will remain have not made the UK’s departure negotiations in the least bit easy. The EU commission in Brussels understandably takes the view that London must be penalized for quitting. This does not simply involve a bill of around $65 billion ostensibly to honor financial...
