Perspective: Saudi Arabia Goes for Transformative Hat Trick
The idea is to open up the economy and end its dependence on oil and gas; modify the existing fundamentalist tradition, which dates back to the alliance between Saudi authorities and Wahhabism in the 18th century; and globalize Saudi Arabia, placing it among the world’s powers. The challenge the crown prince faces is to accomplish this hat trick without weakening the overwhelming power of the monarchy.

Saudi Arabia denounces Israeli decision to confiscate West Bank land
Israel’s actions “undermine the chances of a just and sustainable peace based on the two-state solution,” the statement on SPA added.
Saudi Arabia also called on the international community to halt the systematic violations by Israeli settlers and to ensure the return of confiscated Palestinian lands.
Last week, Israel announced the seizure of 800 hectares (8,000 dunams) of land in the occupied West Bank, which activists called the largest action of its kind in decades.

How smaller GCC states view the Iranian-Saudi détente
Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have taken steps to build on their diplomatic breakthrough. There has been a reopening of embassies with a return of ambassadors, and a fruitful bilateral dialogue has continued. That the Israeli war on Gaza’s ripple effects have not derailed the détente speaks to Riyadh and Tehran’s vested interests in managing tensions through diplomacy and a commitment to non-aggression. Neither side desires a return to the hostility that shaped bilateral affairs in early 2016 and in the years that followed.

Houthis threaten Saudi Arabia’s oil installations for ‘supporting US aggression’
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have threatened to target Saudi Arabia’s oil installations should the country allow a US-led coalition to use its airspace to counter the group’s attacks, a Houthi spokesperson said in an interview with al-Masirah TV on March 25. “We have sent a message to Saudi Arabia that it will be a target if it allows American fighter jets to use its territory or airspace in their aggression on Yemen,” Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the group’s Supreme Political Council, said in the interview.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 Attack Wasn’t Mainly About Israel, It Was About Defeating Its Palestinian Political Rival
If Israel, the United States, and others are interested in denying Hamas a victory, they will have to recognize that strengthening Fatah, the PA, and the PLO is the essential internal Palestinian political corollary to whatever blows are struck against Hamas from the outside. Since Hamas is mainly fighting to outshine, marginalize, and overwhelm Fatah, any outcome that does not strengthen the PA and PLO will not, in fact, be a political defeat for the Islamists.

Manga Productions Chief Essam Bukhary on Saudi Manga Craze and How Partnership With Japanese Studios Is the ‘Future of the Anime Industry’
Saudi Arabia, where popular anime characters such as “Captain Tsubasa” and “Dragon Ball” protagonist Son Goku have been engrained in the culture for decades, is taking its love affair with Japanese manga content to the next level.
In late March, just a few weeks after the death of “Dragon Ball” creator Akira Toriyama, it was announced that the world’s first theme park dedicated to the megahit Japanese manga and animation franchise will be built in Qiddiya, the massive entertainment and tourism project outside the Saudi capital of Riyadh through a joint venture between Qiddiya and Japan’s Toei Animation.

Perspective: What Western Media Won’t Tell You About A Women’s Saudi Arabia
The Saudi people are tired. Tired of having to justify themselves. Tired of having to defend their attitudes. Tired of a relentless and unforgiving West that seemingly can’t escape sensationalism nor overcome partiality. As a result of this fatigue, we, as outsiders, did not face confrontation or clash upon arriving in the Kingdom. For Saudis, their value system isn’t up for debate, which meant we were given a simple choice: listen or hide behind a veil of ignorance.

Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah Biennale Looks to the Future amid an Imperiled Present
The second edition of Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale—titled “After Rain” and on view through May—proposes petrichor as a metaphor for renewal, a cleansing by water of our battered earth and spoiled morality. The inaugural edition of the event, curated by Philip Tinari in 2021, was also water-themed, taking its title from a saying about a river crossed by Chinese revolutionaries in the 1980s. The fixation on water could seem ironic, given the arid setting, but it’s a logical idea for the Diriyah Biennale, the first international showcase of its kind in Saudi Arabia, to circle; it’s inextricable from the existence of the event.
