About this listen
In the past few days, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, has positioned himself front and center on the world stage as Middle Eastern tensions blaze. According to Times of India and Arab News, Mohammed bin Salman delivered a forceful annual address at the Shura Council, promising Saudi Arabia’s unconditional support to Qatar after Israel’s recent strike targeting Hamas leadership in Doha. He did not mince words. Labeling the attack as “brutal” and demanding an “Arab, Islamic, and international response,” he made clear that Saudi resources would be deployed without limit to support Qatar’s security and sovereignty. Furthermore, he condemned the ongoing assaults against Palestinians in Gaza, describing Israeli actions as starvation and forced displacement, and called for holding Israel accountable under international law, with the two-state solution remaining Saudi Arabia’s unwavering anchor for peace.
This address was more than just rhetoric. Arab News reports his speech also underscored Saudi Arabia’s role leading the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, emphasizing real-world diplomatic outcomes—including growing international recognition for Palestine and Saudi Arabia’s success in facilitating the lifting of US sanctions on Syria. On economic matters, he highlighted that non-oil sectors now comprise 56 percent of Saudi GDP, a milestone for Vision 2030’s transformation strategy, and boasted that over 660 multinational companies have chosen Riyadh for their regional HQ—a vigorous validation of investor confidence in his business reforms.
On diplomatic calls, News of Bahrain confirmed that Mohammed bin Salman had a detailed phone discussion with King Abdullah II of Jordan, with both leaders voicing solidarity for Qatar and support for Doha’s efforts to maintain sovereignty. Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tarik received a written message from the Crown Prince, delivered by the Saudi ambassador and focused on ongoing cooperation between their two countries.
Saudi Arabia’s National Day is soon to be feted at Expo 2025 Osaka, where its pavilion will showcase the nation’s journey—from historic unification to Vision 2030’s ambitious leaps, according to Arab News PK. This is a symbolic move to highlight the Kingdom’s new global identity.
On the social front, the Crown Prince continues to shape Saudi Arabia’s image. The closing ceremony of the Taif Camel Festival was held under his patronage, underscoring his ongoing commitment to cultural tradition as well as modernization.
Regarding business and travel, TBS News notes anticipation of his visit to Bangladesh later this year, reinforcing regional ties and Saudi’s labor and investment commitments.
Social media buzz remains focused on his Shura address and bold regional positioning, as hashtags like #MBS and #SaudiCrownPrince trend alongside videos of his speeches and coverage of Saudi’s pivotal geopolitical role.
As of this weekend, no credible reports of controversy or unplanned appearances have surfaced. Speculation continues about the long-term gameplay between Saudi Arabia and Western powers in shaping Middle Eastern alliances, but for now, it’s all business and diplomacy backed by strong words and rapid action.
