Jeddah Summit and the King of the Arabs

It is necessary and important for the Arabs to hold their summit at the level of leaders periodically, and it is important for the different leaders to converge in a wide area - within the framework of the Arab League and others - capable of activating the missing dialogue, the desired cooperation and the hoped-for unification, albeit in the minimal forms required.

This summit comes in light of a lack of dialogue between multiple parties within many Arab countries between its various components, and it comes in light of clear regional and global crises and interventions in more than one Arab country, and in our Palestinian file, and it also comes in light of clouds hanging over the relations between (and in) a number of Arab countries, in addition to the contradiction or divergence of priorities between different countries.

Some may view the summit from a perpetually pessimistic perspective as a forum for loud words, a space for dialogues that have a germinating effect, or cut off from what preceded it, or what will follow it, based on previous summits so that the decisions of the summits become an impact after an eye once the leaders turn their backs on their seats at the summit and return to their countries, and in this An approach that deserves attention, care, follow-up, and criticism if the conference decisions are not connected on paper with real decisions, will, and actions that make countries and citizens feel in their country the true value of the results of these conferences.

For the Arab summit to have the virtue of bringing together the Arabs periodically, this is an important matter, and for it to limit priorities in a specific statement, this is undoubtedly important, and as stated in the thirty points of the Jeddah Declaration (19/5/2023 AD).

We can say, as a preliminary reading, that the current Jeddah summit is one of the most important Arab summits, not because it achieved recognition of the Libyan leadership (and the efforts of the joint military committee) under one executive leadership, the legitimate government in Yemen, and the official Sudanese leadership, and not with the continuous affirmation of preserving the independence of the State of Palestine and respect for the Arab initiative. And thus pushed back the "follow-up" of the Israeli, contrary to what the Americans and "Netanyahu" promoted. Rather, it is also able to create or perpetuate the event and cause penetration and the embodiment of independence, as happened in more than one matter, on top of which is the introduction of official Syria into the Arab League, and the call for the exit of all foreign powers from it and other countries, despite the many reservations of the Syrian opposition against the current regime on the one hand, and on the other hand. On the other hand, the US government.

Nothing but an emphasis on the independence, cooperation and support of the Arab countries...etc. The progress of a broad collective step has been evident through the call for "creating conditions, investing opportunities, strengthening and consolidating partnerships and consolidating understandings between Arab countries on the basis of common interests, and cooperation to achieve the goals of sustainable development, And the implementation of ambitious development visions through a comprehensive renaissance in all fields to keep abreast of global developments, and to create a future that meets the hopes and aspirations of the Arab peoples, "as stated in the text of the declaration, which will represent a real, great and qualitative leap towards building a unitary Arab body of interests within the aforementioned criteria, if this preparation, investment and dedication is permitted. Consolidation, interests, cooperation, and visions are to be linked to the common unifying values of our civilization and our nation, and to the will of an effective and sincere leadership - if any - that puts them into practice, so that the nation shows the truth of its bright face.

With regard to our main cause, that is, the Arab-Palestinian cause, interest in it has not deviated from what happened in previous summits, and this is a good thing. However, the nature of the decisions - as we stress - remains incomplete as long as the material support for the cause was stopped years ago and has not been restored until then.

To the foregoing, the Jeddah Summit was able to prove that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents a real regional power, with global capabilities that cannot be avoided. Especially its non-affiliated, but independent policy. This was evident in the Saudi-Iranian agreement on the one hand, and supported by the declaration. And in the developing relations with China, the "rising dragon" to destroy American monopoly in the world, and in the ability to achieve balance with global problems through what appeared to be the invitation of the Ukrainian president to attend the summit, and by reading the speech of the Russian president at the summit.

The summit was able to achieve the actual overcoming of all American objections about the person of His Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who was installed by the Arabs as their king for the first time and publicly during the era of the hostile American democratic rule, and for the second time after the "Trump" era.

The profound sentence of the Saudi Crown Prince, which proves the desire to give the summits their pan-Arab value, which was enshrined in the Jeddah Declaration, was evident through his important conclusion when he said, "Our Arab homeland possesses civilized and cultural elements, and human and natural resources, which qualifies it to assume an advanced and leadership position. Achieving a comprehensive renaissance for our countries and peoples in all fields.
Saudi Arabia, headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was able to send several messages to all countries that Saudi Arabia, the Queen of the Arabs, with its independent and unifying policy, will no longer be subject to blackmail or "milking", as is the case in light of the short view of many Western countries and America, and perhaps some Arab countries too, but mutual interests and "civilized foundations" are the first and last arbiter in the Kingdom's decisions.
