Shifting sands: Navigating regulations in Saudi Arabia's construction boom
By Nasser AlrubayyiManaging Partner (KSA), Co-Chair Middle East & North Africa Practice, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLPAs Saudi Arabia aims to become a global hub for commercial enterprise, the ability of businesses to adapt to the rapidly evolving landscape often determines their success or failure. Giga projects like NEOM, Diriyah, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea Development Project have captured the attention of global investors and industry leaders, signaling an era of unprecedented growth and opportunity. However, access to adept legal support can make or break your commercial ambitions in Saudi Arabia, especially in the construction sector.Shariah Law and Regulatory FrameworksSaudi Arabia's legal system is deeply rooted in Sharia law, which influences all commercial regulations...

Saudi Arabia: The emerging cultural powerhouse shaping global soft power dynamics
By Rajah Abli Blay*In today's interconnected world, the concept of soft power has become increasingly crucial in shaping global relations and influence. Defined as the ability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce, soft power is a nation's ability to wield influence through cultural, ideological, and institutional means. Among the shifting landscapes of global politics, the Middle East is emerging as a focal point for the projection of soft power, with Saudi Arabia poised to become the next big cultural powerhouse.Through my extensive experience in reputation management, I have witnessed firsthand the significance of soft power in shaping international perceptions and relations. My previous role involved managing governments' reputations, aiming to promote their cultural and...

Why do education reform strategies often fail?
Education is a fundamental factor in enhancing the quality of life and serves as a crucial tool for full societal integration, especially in culturally diverse societies. The demand for education has surged, driven by the quest for high-quality education that equips students with advanced skills and up-to-date knowledge.A major driver behind the push for education reform is the evolving labor market, accelerated technological advancements, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Consequently, countries worldwide are initiating medium- and long-term strategic projects aimed at developing, reforming, or enhancing education. Despite varying nomenclatures, the underlying goal remains consistent: to provide high-quality teaching and learning experiences.Specialists and followers of educational...

Unveiling Western bias: Examining perceptions and policies towards Palestine
By Jamil AldandanyUnlike previous conflicts between Palestinians and Israelis, the current crisis is likely to shape the Middle East and the region’s relations with the West for many years to come. The remains of the fig leaf that the West has hidden behind regarding the issue of Palestine has been blown away.For most Western diplomats and the majority of media, the long suffering of Palestinians is not sufficient to awaken their moral outrage. This is in spite of the fact this is the longest occupation in modern history, and has involved outright theft of land, expansion of settlements, hundreds of prisoners in administrative detention (including women and children), and the imposition of a de facto apartheid regime in the occupied territories.Western politicians need to be reminded of...

Ali Makki's controversies
By Ibrahim Abdullmajeed*This book is engrossing not only due to its compilation of interviews with prominent figures in Arab culture, which many journalists may find to be the case, but also due to the thought-provoking questions and occasionally contentious topics that yielded numerous crucial responses.The book was published several weeks ago in Beirut by the Publishing House Jadawil. It has 350 large-size pages. Ali Makki, a Saudi journalist and writer who has served as an editor for prominent Saudi newspapers and co-founder of others — including Al Watan, authored the work in question.Ali Makki is the author.

An IDF-supplied photo shows Israeli soldiers inside the Al-Shifa hospital complex in Gaza City
Ceasefire demands will grow without proof of Hamas HQ at Al-Shifa
By Jeremy BowenLONDON — It is now days since Israeli forces entered Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, and what appears to be happening on Friday is that they are continuing their search for evidence of this being a key Hamas command center.We have to remember that there is no independent scrutiny inside the hospital; journalists cannot move freely into Gaza, and any who are reporting from the site are working under the aegis of the Israeli military.The evidence Israel has produced, so far, I do not believe to be convincing in terms of the kind of rhetoric Israelis were using about the set-up at the hospital, which suggested this was a nerve centre for the Hamas operation.If there was a nerve centre there — and there has been speculation about that possibility since 2014 — then the...

An open letter to President Biden from his Saudi student
The recent barrage of letters from fellow Arab political analysts to US President Joe Biden prompted me to write this open letter to the leader of the world’s most powerful nation.The letters, especially in the midst of Israel’s relentless aggression on civilians in Gaza, painted a disturbing picture of the president’s stance. His visit to the region to reassure Israel and applaud its ability to “defend itself” against the Palestinian invaders, particularly after the “Flood of Al-Aqsa” on Oct. 7, 2023, bewildered many.As I write this, Mr. President, the proverb “Whoever teaches me a letter, I become his servant” comes to my mind. So, with utmost respect and gratitude, I extend this letter to you. In 1980, at Claremont University in California, I, a political science...

Eliminating intermediaries, bureaucracy and waiting: The remarkable tale of Saudi e-Governance
By Waseem AbbasiImagine how much simple life would be if you could handle tasks like obtaining a land record, reporting to the police, consulting a doctor, baking and selling goods from home, or even applying for a passport, all from the comfort of your own home. This dream has become a reality in Saudi Arabia, where you can accomplish all these tasks with a simple smartphone app. Surprisingly, many people are unaware of how rapidly Saudi Arabia has advanced in e-governance in the years following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, surpassing many developed nations.During a visit to Saudi Arabia, I and three other Pakistani journalists were pleasantly surprised when we saw the latest Internet 5G mark on our local SIM cards as soon as we arrived in the capital city of Riyadh. This was our...

Fox News and the new political landscape: A sociological perspective
By Dalal A. Bin Hamdan, Ph.D.Recently, the world witnessed a momentous event when Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) had his first conversation in English with Fox News channel. This engagement with a local American TV channel, known for its strong support from the Republican Party, marked a significant milestone for both Americans and Saudis alike.It was a momentous occasion, not just due to the time differences that made it either a “BIG DAY” or “BIG NIGHT,” but because it provided insights into the intellectual prowess of MBS as he engaged in what’s often referred to as “English Framework Thinking.”Americans have a particular fascination with the concept of “thinking like them when you’re speaking their mother tongue.” This...
