The Crown Prince is in contact with Gulf and Jordanian leaders: Full solidarity against the attacks
As part of the leading role played by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in promoting joint Arab action and protecting the national security of the region, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister - may God protect him - conducted a series of intensive telephone calls today with a number of leaders of brotherly countries.
These contacts included His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Emir of the State of Kuwait, and His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein, King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Full Saudi solidarity and mobilization of resources
During these fraternal communications, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince affirmed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's unwavering and steadfast position of standing shoulder to shoulder with its sister nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He emphasized the Kingdom's complete solidarity and its readiness to dedicate all its resources and capabilities to supporting these sister nations in confronting the threats they face, referring specifically to the measures these countries are taking in response to the blatant Iranian aggression that undermines the security and stability of the entire region.
The security of the region is indivisible
This step underscores the political and security doctrine of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which views the security of the Gulf states and Jordan as an integral part of the Kingdom's own security. Analysts indicate that these high-level contacts reflect a profound sense of historical responsibility and affirm that any threat to the security of any Gulf or Arab state is a direct threat to Saudi national security, thus necessitating a unified response and a firm stance.
Political messages and strategic implications
This swift diplomatic move by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carries extremely important strategic implications on both the regional and international levels:
- First: To send a clear and firm message to any regional parties that are trying to destabilize the region, that the countries of the region stand united as one.
- Second: Strengthening the Gulf and Arab collective security system, and emphasizing that existing alliances are not merely political protocols, but rather fateful ties that become clearly evident in times of crisis.
- Third: To reassure the Gulf and Arab peoples that the political leadership is closely monitoring all developments and has the ability and will to deal with any emergency that threatens civil and regional peace.
This firm Saudi stance is not surprising, as it is an extension of the Kingdom’s long history of honorable positions in defending Arab and Islamic causes, and its constant endeavor to spare the region the ravages of conflicts and foreign interventions that aim to undermine the development and prosperity witnessed by the Gulf states and the region.
