  • 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.

  • KlasJet Obtains a Permit to Operate in Saudi Arabia

    KlasJet, a well-known exclusive private and corporate jet charter company and a part of the world's largest ACMI providers, the Avia Solutions Group family, is continuing its expansion into the Middle East region. KlasJet Boeing 737 has recently obtained the approval from the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in Saudi Arabia to operate domestic and international flights.

  • Gaza hostage talks deadlock and spark U.S.-Israel blame game

    U.S. officials, together with Qatari and Egyptian mediators, pushed hard in recent days for a deal, stressing it is the only way to reach a six-week ceasefire in Gaza, where more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.

  • Israel truce team leaves Doha, official blames Hamas for ‘dead end’

    Israel has recalled its negotiators from Doha after deeming mediated talks on a Gaza truce "at a dead end" due to demands by Hamas, a senior Israeli official said on Tuesday.
    The official, who is close to the Mossad spymaster heading up the talks, accused Hamas' Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar of sabotaging the diplomacy "as part of a wider effort to inflame this war over Ramadan".
    The warring sides had stepped up negotiations, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, on a six-week suspension of Israel's offensive in return for the proposed release of 40 of the 130 hostages still held by the Palestinian militant group in Gaza.
