Welcoming the world to Saudi Arabia
With the fleeing of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the collapse of the Syrian army, and the fall of cities such as Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Hama, and Sweida into the hands of armed opposition factions, an important chapter in Syria’s modern history has drawn to a close.For nearly six decades, the Assad regime—first under Hafez and then his son Bashar—dominated the nation.Now, Syrians face immense challenges as they embark on rebuilding their country.Foremost among these is restoring security and stability to enable the return of millions of displaced Syrians and refugees to their homes. This process will require extensive reconstruction efforts.However, I hope this critical period will not be marred by prolonged conflicts, internal divisions, or external interventions.I have...

Beyond football: The impact of Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup hosting
I wouldn't strip the shirt off my back for many people,but for my brother, I would.And no, I don’t know how to sew,but I’d learn for him.
If he needed shoes,I’d walk barefoot over gravel,my feet bleeding,still asking if he wanted me to carry him.
If he was hungry,I’d peel him my last orange.
He probably doesn’t know it,but if I saw him breaking down,I’d use the sewing skills I just learnedand stitch him back together—even if I had to pull thread from my own skin.
My brother is not just my blood.He is half of me.A part of me I’d never trade.
For him, I’d give everything.I’d pour out all the light inside of me,even if it left me empty—even if it made me nothing—as long as he never felt alone at night.
Because I loved him before he had a name.

Driving the future: How public transportation is transforming Saudi Arabia
By Firas Ibrahim TrabulsiIn the realm of journalism and media, responses are generally directed toward three types of audiences: supporters, critics, and neutrals. Supporters already know the truth and need no convincing—they are fully aware of the misleading nature of false allegations, just as Saudi citizens and residents witness the nation’s remarkable progress daily. Critics, on the other hand, are uninterested in truth; they ignore achievements, no matter how evident or impactful, as their goal is to sow doubt and stir controversy, not to seek truth.The letter sent by U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Dick Durbin to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, calling for Saudi Arabia to be barred from hosting the 2034 World Cup, is rife with glaring contradictions. Its timing is especially...

Defending the Truth: Saudi Arabia and the 2034 World Cup
Among the many operational difficulties modern healthcare facilities face are rising expenses, staffing shortages, and poor coordination of treatment.Driven by expensive technologies, administrative challenges and staff expenses, increasing costs seriously affect healthcare providers' capacity to keep both financial sustainability and excellent service standards.Concurrent with this load is a notable lack of healthcare professionals, especially primary care doctors and nurses.In healthcare delivery, fragmentation also fuels inefficiencies since patients may get disconnected services from numerous providers, leading to repeated efforts, higher expenses, and less-than-ideal results. These problems draw attention to how rapidly healthcare delivery must change to increase efficiency, raise...

Navigating healthcare's future: Solutions for a sustainable system
In July 1977, New York City was plunged into complete darkness due to a citywide power outage that lasted 25 hours, caused by a severe thunderstorm. This unexpected event sparked a wave of crime, looting, and vandalism, resulting in millions of dollars in damages. The blackout and its aftermath raised important questions about human ethics and the nature of order: in the absence of laws and authority, would people follow their moral compass, or would they give in to primal instincts, leading to chaos?Filmmaker Christopher Nolan explored these themes in his well-known movie “The Dark Knight.” He depicted the conflict between order and morality through the “Prisoner’s Dilemma,” which comes from game theory. In this scene, the Joker, as a symbol of chaos, creates panic and forces...
