Written by Nasser Kandil,
All what the Saudi leadership did at the reign of the King Salman and his son accompanied with the philosopher of the govern Adel Al Jubeir was meant to be dedicated through the fund of the Islamic Summit in Istanbul, so the accelerated timing of the events has been mobilized; the announcement of the armistice is followed by the visit of Cairo and the announcement of recapturing the two islands of Tiran and Sanafir from the Egyptian sovereignty and foreshadowing Israel by launching the land bridge between Saudi Arabia and Sinai towards Haifaa, moreover, granting it the privilege of the gate of the European Gulf in oil and transit at the expense of Suez Canal. All of that was within few days that are followed by the arrival of the King and his delegation to Ankara, while his son was traveling between Amman and Abu Dhabi for making arrangements with their allies as a preparation for the next stage, the stage of the Saudi leadership of the Islamic world led by the Egyptian Turkish reconciliation, and the forming of an alliance that includes Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt led by Saudi Arabia against Iran, and making Hezbollah pursued by a decision from the summit after classifying it as a terrorist organization on the lists of the Islamic countries.
Saudi Arabia failed in achieving what it wanted, so the Egyptian President Abdul Fattah Al Sisi has boycotted Istanbul's Summit, Turkey and Pakistan have taken the decision according to the higher interests of their countries by not colliding with Iran because of the intergradation of the bordered security interests, and the magnitude of the economic aspirations for making a relationship with it, according to Turkey it is the commercial and the investment western bridge toward Iran at the time of lifting the sanctions, and for Pakistan it is the bridge of oil and gas Iranian pipelines to India and China, the issue has ended before it started, thus the failure was in the essence. The message seemed clear that there was no place for an opportunity for Saudi Arabia which got a reconciliation with Al Houthis on the basis of the admission of their being as an original Yemeni component to wage the war at the expense of others for classifying Hezbollah as a terrorist on charge on supporting them, so how it will drive them to wage a war against Iran after it failed in its war in Yemen, the equation is simple, if Saudi Arabia came out victorious in Yemen, then everything would change.
The philosopher of the Kingdom who considered the agreed text of the statement of the Islamic Summit about the good neighborhood with Iran is a defeat, wanted to deepen the defeat, so he went to the General Secretariat of the Organization of the Islamic Conference where the countries are received prepared copies about the situations that belong to them and where they are not subject to the discussion of neither the ministers nor the leaders. Usually they are texts where the rules of confining the content with the solidarity with the concerned country are respected, as the dedicated paragraph of Lebanon, it was prepared by the Lebanese government, it includes the supporting of Lebanon and its army against the terrorism, the encouragement of the dialogue’s paths, and the compatibility between its components and the other parties, but the proficient philosopher has put texts that call for the solidarity with Saudi Arabia against what its diplomatic missions were exposed to, in addition to texts at the spokesmen of the Gulf countries that condemn what Saudi Arabia is exposed to such as terrorist actions that are supported by Iran and Hezbollah. This was the maximum limit of what he can add, because the subsidiary paragraphs of the statement which are related to solidarity were neither political statement nor drafts for decisions that may include positions as important as the classification of Hezbollah of terrorist.
The failure which is followed by another failure and the weakness which is followed by another weakness have shown the bad situation of Saudi Arabia at the Summit, which was about to fail, and its cohesion was about to dismantle but the Turkish Pakistani mediations which Saudi Arabia has been seeking to mobilize them into the campaign of the engagement with Iran were aware of, the inserted paragraphs passed after Turkish modifications and the absence of the Iranian delegation in addition to the reservation of many delegations especially the Lebanese toward the paragraph in which the name of Hezbollah has been mentioned, but the most important is that Saudi Arabia which was aware of the failure of its attempt in leading the Turkish Egyptian reconciliation, and the leadership of an alliance that includes Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan against Iran, as well as the issuance of a decision of classifying Hezbollah as a terrorist organization was able to employ the agreed text in the final statement positively by turning it into a starting point for the good intensions for starting a dialogue and a negotiation with a Turkish Pakistani partnership with Iran, thus the geniality of Al-Jubeir has added a new loss to the original loss.
When the Saudi diplomacy-maker said that his policies have succeeded in changing the position of Russia towards the war in Syria in favor of accepting the negotiation with Saudi Arabia on the future of Syria without its President, because Russia has become bored of bearing the burdens in Syria, and when this speech was on the twenty- eighth of August in the last year, it meant before two days of the decision of the Russian President Vladimir Putin of starting the strategic military positioning in Syria to support the country, its president, and its army, as well as to change the course of the war for their interest, we know the degree of smartness and wisdom which this diplomacy has, which does not perfect but the industry of defeats.
