Make in your life a friend like Saudi Arabia..
If he speaks, he is honest, if he promises, he fulfills, and if he quarrels, he forgives.
In this great thread and hashtag, we review the most prominent positions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, government and people, with the peoples and countries of the Arab world :
#العراق
Iraq: Despite the ideological differences with the Baath regime, once it entered the war with Iran, it asked for Arab support, and Saudi Arabia took the lead and supported it with money, oil, and weapons for 8 years, while there were others who stood with the Iranian side
Kuwait: Unfortunately, Saddam betrayed the covenants and agreements and stormed with his army into an Arab Muslim country. He was advised more than once to withdraw, but he continued and bombed even Riyadh and Dammam. However, he was terrified and Kuwait was supported and liberated without entering into a direct war and bombing Baghdad to spare the Iraqis from what his regime was doing. Despite what he did, Saudi Arabia stood against the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Rather, it denounced it and tried with all its might to prevent countries and the international coalition from invading Iraq and finding another solution. Because of the pressures that Saudi Arabia exerted, the Kingdom was exposed to bloody terrorist attacks that came from Afghanistan and the mountains of Iran between the periods of 2003 and 2006 AD.
#البحرين Beloved Bahrain was subjected to terrorist attacks and a coup by foreign gangs against the ruling regime during the ill-fated Arab Spring, so Bahrain requested Saudi Arabia’s help, for which Saud Al-Faisal, may God have mercy on him, hung up the phone on Hillary Clinton while she threatened that Saudi Arabia would not interfere in the demonstrations, so the Kingdom, in front of the world, sent its army to end the Iranian gang rebellion in 2011.
Yemen: in 2011 The people revolted against Ali Saleh and it became a civil war between Muslims, so Saudi Arabia held summits to find a way out and a political solution that would stop the bloodshed and Saleh’s abdication of the presidency. The latter signed that draft, but as soon as he returned, he handed over the weapons and power to the Houthis, in line with the saying (After me, the flood), believing that with those actions he would blackmail Saudi Arabia and make it re-evaluate the situation by betting on him to stop the bloodbath. But it ended and Saudi forces intervened by training and recognizing the Yemeni legitimate army and supporting it to liberate 80% of Yemen, so that Ali Saleh was later killed by the Houthis after he turned against them. However, the Yemenis never felt that they were strangers in Saudi Arabia, but rather they were among their brothers, working, studying, and receiving treatment like any Saudi citizen.
Jordan has been exposed to several political pressures and repeated economic crises, but Saudi generosity towards our brave neighbors has not ceased. Rather, Saudi Arabia has stood with all its strength in support of Jordan’s stability and development.
Egypt: (Recently) The Saudi giant clashed with its American ally over the Egyptian file, as Obama wanted to install the Brotherhood and blackmail Egypt by allowing it to pardon its debt to the World Bank, but King Abdullah intervened with all his strength, standing with the will of the Egyptian people and army, which led to the Saudi-American relations being stirred up and marred by a kind of estrangement and political clash, translated into the famous picture of the late Saud al-Faisal shaking Obama, so the Kingdom supported Egypt with hundreds of billions to stabilize the currency
Libya: The Brotherhood tried to jump from Egypt to Libya by rebelling against the popular will and with full Western support and official Turkish participation by sending a number of Syrians and displaced persons to fight against their brothers. However, Saudi Arabia put international pressure on Turkey, France and Italy to refrain from interfering in Libyan affairs and hosted the parties to the conflict and concluded a truce to stop the bloodshed of Muslims.
Tunisia: The Tunisian revolution exploded and President Zine Ben Ali fled without firing a single bullet. His plane began to hover in the horizon. No country hosted him. He approached the airspace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and requested asylum, as is the case with Arabs . Saudi Arabia allowed him to land and seek refuge in Jeddah and live there until his death without political exit or interference in Tunisian affairs. Saudi Arabia also participated in supporting the Tunisian economy and its stability with many initiatives.
Palestine: Since its founding, the Kingdom has sought to stand in support of the Palestinian people and participated in all Arab wars. Hundreds of the Saudi army were martyred in Palestine. Despite the world’s struggle and neighboring foreign interventions against the Arabs, the American invasion, and the Arab Spring, the Kingdom during these years did not stop for a day in standing by Palestine, but rather supported it. At all levels, it built housing, hospitals, and mosques, and lavished billions on the people of Palestine, giving them privileges over others, and paying everyone’s salaries. The employees of the Authority supported Hamas, Tahrir, and Fatah with money and weapons, but strife and Satan entered among them in 2006, and the Palestinians fought among each other. Saudi Arabia quickly intervened and stopped the bloodbath with the “Mecca Peace Agreement” by bringing together the leaders of Fatah and Hamas and signing the agreement prohibiting Palestinian blood and unifying their efforts against the Zionists, but as soon as they returned, they They returned to kill each other, and the Palestinian cause, the Palestinian state, and the Palestinian government were divided into two sides, the government of Gaza and the government of the West Bank, and the saboteurs entered. The conspirators, both Arabs and non-Arabs, on both sides of the conflict, sought to fuel it, and none of them sought, as Saudi Arabia did, to inject bloodshed and unify the two parties, until the issue was lost and torn apart. With the recent explosion of the situation in Gaza, at the behest of the axis of resistance, and the ignition of a losing war, despite the Kingdom’s classification of many movements as terrorist, it did not stop. It remained silent, but held the Jerusalem Summit and the Palestine Summit, bringing together the Arab and Islamic worlds and demanding an end to the sale of weapons to Israel and an end to the war. The Kingdom’s Foreign Minister must ensure international pressure and gather international recognition of the State of Palestine and the right of its people to independence, so that Saudi pressure will be a solution for European countries, most of which have recognized the State of Palestine. The pressure is still continuing, and there is no way for Saudi Arabia to achieve normalization and peace in the region until a Palestinian state is found with Jerusalem as its capital.
Lebanon: The Kingdom has sought repeatedly to stop the blood of Muslims by ending the Lebanese civil war that lasted for 14 years by holding an urgent summit and hosting all the leaders of the parties to the Lebanese conflict in a presidential palace and pressuring them not to leave the summit until the bloodbath to which the Lebanese are exposed is stopped. They did not leave Taif until they signed. We all wanted to end the civil war and return Lebanon to life with Rafik Hariri’s support for the reconstruction, prosperity and stability of Lebanon, but the matter did not last long. The foreign militias surprised him and assassinated Lebanon and its comrade.
Syria: From the first day that the Assad regime poured fire on Muslims and allied with foreign militias to kill the brotherly Syrian people, Saudi Arabia stood here with all force and demanded that it stop at that time, but it refused. Here, Saudi Arabia intervened directly by supporting the revolutionaries financially, militarily, and in the media until the world saw how the revolutionaries approached Damascus and one night Suddenly, many countries and embassies intervened, and each of them began to compete with Saudi Arabia in its position, and suddenly ISIS and Al-Qaeda emerged. Here, Saudi Arabia stopped and clashed with other countries and the world and severed its relations (and refused). Its official seat in the United Nations, and it now describes the United Nations as being against Palestine and Syria, and that the international community is biased and does not want stability) all of this after many traded in Syrian blood, while Qassem Soleimani went to Russia (with official confessions via YouTube by Hassan Nasrallah), and Soleimani presented all Maps, wealth and money to the Russians in exchange for intervention to help the regime and its foreign militia allies from falling, just as they did with Iraq in 2003 at their request. For America to come, the confrontations take another turn, and the Russians come with all their might to support the regime with aircraft and experts, and the revolution retreats again to its first day, and Syria becomes a home for ghosts that smell of blood, and the Syrians become homeless, and groups and factions also splinter, each of them claiming that they are entitled to the fate of Syria, so Saudi Arabia officially gathered the factions. The Syrian opposition and rival parties attended the Riyadh conference, hosted them, and united them with an official document to unify the fronts and factions and inject Their blood, but soon they returned and Satan and strife entered among them and they returned to kill each other.
For Syria to go to a stage similar to the international division of several states, Saudi Arabia did not stop its efforts to spare the blood of the Syrians and the safety and unification of their lands. Rather, it sacrificed the world in exchange for Syria. It hosted Putin several times, then President Bashar, and immediately pressured him to stop the war and bloodbath and offered him a final initiative (to find a way out for the revolution). It begins by expelling all foreign militias and foreign forces and sparing the Syrians their evil, then officially stepping down from the presidency. And to release all the detainees and announce a comprehensive amnesty in the country for everyone and to run in new elections for a peaceful transitional process. However, Bashar thought a lot and procrastinated and delayed, claiming that the circumstances of the region and the 2023 Gaza War were what delayed that. During that period of thinking, he was trying to make a fool of both sides, sometimes saying to the Russians and the Iranians reassuringly: To them that it is just Saudi and Arab pressure, then he tells the other party, Saudi Arabia, that his delay in implementing the initiative is due to... Russian and Iranian pressure and the Gaza war, all of this was an attempt by him to buy more time, but he actually delayed too long and the will of the brotherly Syrian people prevailed.
The beautiful thing about this is that during 13 years, no Syrian in Saudi Arabia felt racism or discrimination and was not classified in Saudi Arabia as a refugee, but rather a “resident” who has all the rights and has privileges such as health, treatment, and study for free, and a “visit” visa was opened for them and their families in Saudi Arabia, and they lived among us, and they did not live in shelters or relief tents. Rather, they lived among Saudi Arabs, sharing work and social life with them, and none of them ever felt like a stranger. During this period, children and young people were born. They were raised and studied in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as generous, dear brothers.
This conversation is only for contemporary positions and we did not address many of the Saudi positions and concerns towards the Islamic or Arab countries and its support for them in their wars of liberation and independence in the past decades. Talking about Saudi Arabia and having a #friend_like_Saudi Arabia requires books and publications.
