Nasser Kandil wrote: Saudi Arabia's crisis

  • The Saudi behavior in Lebanon after the adoption of the Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri of the nomination of the General Michael Aoun for the presidency as was known by a Saudi decision proves that Riyadh is aware of the change of the balances of powers in the region and the desperateness of their modifications.
  • The last behavior of Saudi Arabia of covering the participation of Jordan in Astana path under the title of the inclusion of the armed factions in the South of Syria which are funded by Saudi Arabia to cease-fire and fighting ISIS and Al Nusra shows clearly the size of the variables felt by Saudi Arabia that cannot allow the continuation of the policy of arrogance and the denial of the variables.
  • The Saudi bet on the arrogance of the US President Donald Trump and his challenge to Iran with the relentless seek to make an understanding with Russia, and giving the priority to the war on ISIS is not useful enough, because the facts that prevented the ancestors of Trump from the confrontation with Iran will be available in time.
  • Riyadh proposed a settlement that based on behaving freely in Bahrain and Yemen otherwise the sectarian strife or the dominance of ISIS.
  • Saudi Arabia is aware of the need to comply with Iran, so it did that far from the Gulf, where the Saudi crisis is, through the inability to understand the national aspect of what is going on in Bahrain and Yemen and where Iran cannot keep up with Saudi Arabia.
