Russia’s Putin: When a country falls from the sky
On September 18, 2013, I wrote an article in the Saudi English Daily Arab News titled, “Did Putin succeed in his attempt to woo Americans?”My article was in reference to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s article in the New York Times a week earlier.That was nine years ago. Now and then, apparently, things didn’t go well for Russia or Putin. In his article nine years ago, Putin failed to talk to the average American on the street and he simply exposed himself to the American elite and decision makers. In other words, he shot himself in the foot.Facts not an opinion....Children born in Russia when Vladimir Putin first became president are now college graduates. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope cost five times more than the entire annual budget for Russian space programs. Last,...

Healthcare Diplomacy: Diverse voices should tackle problems that transcend borders and politics
One year ago, the world media asked if another “roaring twenties” were upon us — a post-pandemic period of prosperity.I think we may have a different point of view about this now.Halfway through the year and the international headlines are telling a much different story.But let’s be optimistic, shall we?In these times of growing global uncertainty, volatility and divisions, one common denominator that can bring us all together is healthcare.The pandemic, while tough, has shown us the way. I don’t remember a single another occasion in my lifetime when the world collectively faced the same crisis irrespective of nation or background, whether young or old, rich or poor.Whether a world leader, a billionaire or a rice farmer, the rules were the same.It has succeeded in bringing us...

Healthcare Diplomacy: Diverse voices should tackle problems that transcend borders and politics

A conversation with Thomas Friedman: LIV & PGA
Dear Thomas Friedman,I and the others may not agree with what you write, but the truth is, what you write is read all over the world.Yes, no doubt about it, and we got used to it. Sports and politics are mixed forever. Always together.Sports and Politics. We have seen it and will continue to see it. From the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics to Qatar World Cup 2022 and all other international sporting events.Tom, out of the blue, the whole world is reading and seeing so many articles, Op-Eds, talk shows and tweets talking about golf. Not only about golf as a sport and entertainment, but so much talk about Saudi sports activities. All activities.So, what is it about golf, golfers, golf enthusiasts, and golf courses? Is it an all-American sport or is it an international sport played by...

Crown Prince’s tour of Athens and Paris ... The path of wisdom and partnership
The visit of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Greece is the culmination of old relations that took their origin in ancient times and continued throughout successive periods until the present day. And these relations were evident all through the civilizations that existed on the Arabian Peninsula.This was not limited to trade exchange alone but also included cultural and scientific interactions. The differences in language and religion or the cultures of the desert and the Mediterranean were not an obstacle to deepening that communication.If we examine the inception of Saudi-Greek relations in the modern era, it dates back to the year 1926. It was strengthened in 1943 when Athens established an embassy in Jeddah. The biggest boost in the history of relations between the...

Did Biden arrive late?
If someone in Washington is reviewing the outcome of US President Joe Biden’s recent visit to the Middle East region, he would find the grave mistakes the president had committed. Biden tried to walk like Barack Obama and negotiate like Ronald Reagan. He is neither like Reagan, a pragmatic politician who believed in his allies and partners, nor like Obama, who is elegant in his dealings with others despite differences of opinion.In the wake of Biden’s visit to Jeddah, the West Bank and Tel Aviv last week, a very important question arises: Did Biden happen to visit the region one and a half years late?The answer to the question is yes. He came very late, and he could have bridged the huge gap not only between him and Riyadh, but also between him and Cairo and Abu Dhabi. These are the...

US-Saudi relationship: Vital for Global stability
President Biden’s visit to the Kingdom was the latest to demonstrate the special and time-tested relationship Saudi Arabia and the United States have enjoyed for decades. Since that historic meeting between the Kingdom’s Founder King Abdulaziz Al Saud and President Franklin Roosevelt aboard a US warship in the Suez Canal, both countries have continued to rely on and leverage each other’s own special strengths to maintain global political and economic stability. This visit was no exception.With soaring energy costs and inflation rates, climate change and fears of food supply disruptions, due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, there was a lot riding on this visit. As the largest exporter of crude oil and largest consumer of it, Saudi Arabia and the United States are uniquely positioned to...

US-Saudi relationship: Vital for Global stability

Elvis
The movie Elvis examines deeper interpretations of the variety of relationships between a mother, father, wife, children, family, and education and in all matters which can determine ones personality throughout their childhood into their youth up until their passing.An important distinction made of legal aspect, is the significance of a business manager, most specifically managers related to their clients, like Lionel Messi, who was managed by his father, Jorge.In ‘Elvis’, the movie, the manipulation of Elvis’ manager began when he included the Presley family, as a response to Elvis’ clear priorities. To ensure success and his safety, the manager emphasized their goals as a ‘Family Business’.Another distinction is a medicine that has been closely connected with artists and...

The possibility of any success in Iraqi mediation
Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi paid a visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during which he met Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. The visit was followed by another visit to the Iranian capital Tehran, during which he met senior Iranian officials of that country.What emerged from these two visits was an attempt of mediation to ease the atmosphere and reduce tension in the region, through dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran.There has been no halt for the Iraqi attempts of mediation over the past few years, especially after the assumption of office by Al-Kadhimi as prime minister of the country. Al-Kadhimi is a respectable leader for Saudi Arabia, as the Kingdom sees him as a patriotic figure who works sincerely to resolve the huge crises that are afflicting Iraq.The Iraqi...

GCC has an opportunity to play a role in resolving the Russia-Ukraine crisis
Former Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary Generals have always called for dialogue as an approach for resolving disputes between states. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is proving to be yet another window of opportunity for Gulf States to both express their distress over current security challenges and to potentially play a role in mitigating these challenges.Specifically, the significance of Gulf States in the conflict from an economic perspective is proving to be key, given the destabilizing consequence of the conflict on energy markets. The wealth of energy reserves dominated by the bloc supports a pro-Western outlook on the Ukrainian conflict and prospects for sanctions against Russia, thus elevating Western interests at the expense of Russia.For the first time since the Russian...

A paradigm shift in Saudi Arabia’s healthcare system
Globally, healthcare remains a topic of debate, specifically whether it is a right or a privilege, which has major implications for primary stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, and governments.However, no such debate exists in Saudi Arabia because healthcare is inveterately regarded as a fundamental human right, and the government has historically protected citizens’ right to healthcare: Public healthcare coverage is free, accessible to every citizen, and fully funded by non-tax-based governmental subsidies delivered to a number of government agencies.In spite of this, the private sector continues to play an active role in delivering healthcare services to self-pay patients and policyholders who are typically employees of private-sector entities that are legally...
