A nation that needs no enemies
For decades, a single phrase has echoed through the Arab world in the wake of political and military missteps: “If I had known, I would never have done it.” Uttered with a mix of regret and resignation, these words have become a refrain for lost opportunities, squandered lives, and shattered communities. Yet they offer no solace to the displaced, no comfort to the bereaved, and no blueprint for rebuilding what has been destroyed.The past six decades bear witness to a string of miscalculations—wars launched on a whim, confrontations pursued without regard for reality.The toll has been relentless: eroded territories, compromised principles, and once-inviolable red lines now open to negotiation.The true tragedy lies in the human cost—ordinary citizens left to bear the brunt, while the...

The Arab world’s enduring lament: “If only I had known”
For centuries, law has been the framework that governs societies and safeguards their stability.Yet the major transformations underway in Saudi Arabia today have elevated legislation to a far more dynamic role: it has become a strategic tool in shaping the very path of development.Law is no longer a set of static provisions, but a comprehensive vision, balancing justice, investment facilitation, protection of rights, and the creation of a competitive environment capable of keeping pace with the future.The essence of this legislative transformation lies in combining clarity, which removes ambiguity and makes legal texts accessible to all, with public participation, which allows experts, stakeholders, and civil society to contribute to shaping best practices.In this way, legislation reflects...

Saudi legislation: Clarity and participation driving development
In the life of nations, opposites often move along parallel lines that never meet: sorrow remains distant from joy, poverty stands in contrast to wealth, and hatred is set against love.Yet in Saudi Arabia, the equation appears different. Here, such opposites can converge not to contradict, but to create a greater meaning: the unity of the nation and the bond of destiny.In recent days, two seemingly contrasting scenes unfolded yet in their essence, they were deeply connected: the sorrowful farewell of the Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Sheikh and the joyous celebration of the Kingdom’s National Day.In both moments, Saudi Arabia revealed its true spirit: a nation whose people gather around their leadership, and a leadership that shares the feelings of its people in both joy...

Legal challenges and regulatory responses vis-a-vis anti-dumping in Saudi market
Humans inherently strive for happiness. They work hard to earn money, embark on adventures, pursue advanced degrees, seek prestigious positions, and aim for great salaries to build large houses, buy magnificent cars, and wear fashionable clothing. Yet, despite having wealth, amenities, and fame, many fail to experience genuine happiness.People take different routes in their search for happiness. Some find it in money, others in physical pleasures. A third group discovers it in fulfilling the soul’s desires, while a fourth finds it in acquiring knowledge, building communication, and serving the needs of others.It is therefore essential to distinguish between pleasure, which is often temporary, and happiness, which is a lasting feeling.Happiness can be puzzling. We often find it more in...
