Trump to Riyadh: A monumental moment that matters
The visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to Riyadh—his first official foreign stop since inauguration of his second tenure in presidency on January 20, and just as it was in 2017 during his first presidency — marks another era in the long-standing strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and the United States. This visit signals the continuation of a relationship that has evolved with ever-deepening cooperation and coordination across multiple fronts since several decades.This is not just a visit — it is a moment laden with significance. It comes at a time when the region is in the grip of volatility and unrest. Expectations are high ahead of next week’s most anticipated trilateral Gulf tour, during which Trump has promised what he described as a "very important...

KSA banks' investment in FinTech: A path to the future

Why is FinTech flourishing in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia, under its Vision 2030 and Financial Sector Development Program (FSDP) — with the FinTech strategy approved in May 2022 as its fourth pillar, aims to become a cashless society with a target of 70% by 2030. It also aims to make the Kingdom a global FinTech hub that attracts entrepreneurs from around the world as well as within the country.FinTech Saudi was established in 2018 as an ecosystem builder and catalyst under the supervision of the country's financial regulators, SAMA (Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority) and CMA (Capital Market Authority), to lay the foundation and further accelerate the sector's success journey. This initiative has led to an increase in the number of FinTech startups to 207 in 2023, up from only 10 in 2018—an increase of 20.7 times in five...

Hajj pilgrimage and Kingdom’s success in difficult test
AS the world continues to reel from the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, Saudi Arabia successfully maintained a delicate balance between the health of its citizens, residents and pilgrims on one hand, and the organization of Hajj rituals without compromising on their religious significance, on the other.The Hajj rituals were held under strict coronavirus preventive protocols, allowing only a limited number of people in order to preserve the health and safety of pilgrims, including citizens and residents. But this exceptional situation should not in any case take away the great and commendable role that the Kingdom has been playing in undertaking the Hajj operation in a meticulous and flawless manner not only this year but over the past decades.The successful organization of Hajj...

Online Brotherhood and digital platforms
Political Islam groups have made a long and arduous journey ever since the inception of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the late 20th century, reaching up to the present world, while making the most of social media and other new media platforms brought about by the modern technologies. The journey will give the impression to any observer and a diligent researcher about the ability of these groups to reshape and adapt as well as to rely on contradictions.The story is old where these groups used to reject any new ideas and inventions in their religious language of forbiddance and rejection. Then, after a period of time, they gradually waived the prohibition and scrambled for new ideas, realizing that the benefits of the permissibility outweigh gains from the prohibition in their pursuit...

Online Brotherhood and digital platforms

Is it permissible to exclude Brotherhood?
Mashari Al-ThaydiRECENTLY, Saudi intellectual Dr. Khaled Al-Dakheel wrote on his Twitter account: “In the same cultural and political context, you will find that almost all opponents of the political Islam follow the principle of excluding the violator only, and do not believe in the right to freedom, which means that the mentality that governs the positions of two parties is one and the same...”Some people objected to Al-Dakheel’s words while some others favored them. But it was an old argument dating back to the Arab Spring from December 2010 through the years 2011 to approximately 2013, when the waves of the Arab Spring began to subside, and those waves were ridden by the Islamists, led by the Muslim Brotherhood.At that time, the conclusion of the argument from the part of...

Hejazi’s liquidation... and the Iranian deception!
IF you do not feel ashamed, then do whatever you like... this seems to be the case with mullahs of Qom and the Iranian regime, who have been nursing their wounds and swallowing pride ever since the outbreak of their so-called revolution in 1979.They are liars and are not ashamed of not facing their opponents directly as they are being the first terrorist state in the world and are cowards. They buy their followers and recruit agents for the cheapest price so that their “clients” can mess up on their behalf.And when their secret system and programs, especially the nuclear program and the ballistic missile program, are hacked and sabotaged, they are merely content with denunciations and vows but remain timid and trembling. They are quite proficient in blowing trumpets such as their...

Hejazi’s liquidation... and the Iranian deception!

The nuclear bomb has become an Arab need
IN his recent statement Prince Turki Al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's former intelligence chief, stressed that “the leadership in Iran has become a real danger and all attempts over the past 40 years to rein it in have miserably failed.""We do not harbor any hostility toward Iran nor do we want its people to suffer any harm. But we must strike a balance with it as any imbalance will be exploited by Iran,” he added.Iran is also a danger because of its rebellious conduct for decades now and its endeavor to undermine the stability and security of its neighbors and fragment their societies. In this regard, the Iraqi experience gives us a model of the Iranian influence, its exploitation of Iraq’s resources, fueling sectarian divisions, and waging a war against the Iraqi state.In...

Will the Houthis respond to new Saudi peace initiative!
The initiative to end the Yemeni crisis is the culmination of the strenuous efforts that Saudi Arabia has been making to establish peace in the neighboring country for several years. The Saudi efforts involve alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people as well as to stop the threats posed to the Saudi sovereignty, and to protect its population, territories and facilities from attacks by Iranian drones and missiles.Even though the comprehensive Saudi initiative, which was announced on Monday, did not leave any aspect of the crisis untouched, the first reaction of the Houthi militia was elusive as usual. They are sticking to their demand of lifting of what they call “the siege” first, and then reopening of Sanaa International Airport. Although the initiative included proposals such as...

Saudi Arabia is getting ready!
THE drone attack launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia toward the Saudi port of Ras Tanura in the Arabian Gulf has brought out the challenges to leftist-oriented new American policy, influenced by terrorist elements.This stupid Iranian behavior was not and will not be a passing event, and the Saudi reference to it is not a message that can simply be overlooked without any reaction, especially since the Saudis, in the aftermath of the attacks on the Abqaiq and Khurais oil refineries, showed patience and took into account the regional and international interest and responded to the wishes of the international community.Saudi Arabia did this with an expectation that the international community would understand what happened to the Kingdom as a result of Iran’s continuing aggression,...
