it's unbelievable, hearing #Hegseth press conference, I'd swear it might as well have been written by speech writer of #Sisi of #Egypt or #MBS of #Saudi. the amount of "under the guidance of wisdomous leader #Trump, our great leader's ideas, planning, know-it-all, wiser-than-thou" vibes are middle-east tyranny level of worthiness #uspol . maybe it's time for #americans to get a new word into their vocabulary borrowed from arabic تعريص taarees is how the current admin is behaving towards #trump

🚨 LinkedIn’s AI verification system is a disaster.

I submitted a valid Saudi e-passport (NFC-enabled, 2025 issue), followed every step, and still got denied.

No support. No solution. Just silence.

Is LinkedIn biased against GCC countries?

🔁 Retweet to expose this failure.

News brief in #Haaretz which I think is now removed but visible in archive.today read the following:

[…] An Israeli official told the #Saudi channel Al-Arabiya that American involvement in the fighting against Iran is essential to achieving the war's objectives, adding that without destroying the nuclear reactor in #Fordow, the operation would be useless. According to him, #Israel is concerned that the US will pressure the parties to end the fighting before the war's objectives are achieved, but if US President Donald Trump demands that Israel agree to a ceasefire, it will agree.

While Israel attempts to compel the U.S. into a war with #Iran, the #GazaGenocide persists unabated, and possibly intensifying.

TRUMP NEVER HAD A #SILENTMAJORITY OF FASCISTS

since Reagan & Bush, Republicans had #Saudi #OPEC money behind them. then Bush II called USA a zionist country and the Saudis taught him a lesson. so he made friends with the new oligarch from the old Soviet block, Putin.

Trump doesn’t take sides, only money. so he has the dubious distinction of uniting the USA oligarchy with both Russia & OPEC.

that’s why he is in power: for a handful of milliardaires & their millionaire plantation managers

@wise If you’re Saudi and live with your family, no bills are in your name, and your phone is prepaid — that’s normal here. Stop asking for documents that don’t exist in our region. If you can’t adapt to global realities, maybe you shouldn’t serve global users. #Wise #Saudi #OurRealityIsDifferent

US warns nations not to attend a #France / #Saudi organized UN conference on a two state solution, fearing the recognition of a Palestinian state.

In 2018, #Canada called for justice for Khashoggi’s brutal murder; in 2025, it calls for MBS’s presence at the G7.
A chilling reminder that accountability has an expiry date in global politics.

Although #Saudi Arabia is making efforts to attract more tourists to the Kingdom, it is important to note that certain issue may deter visitors from choosing it as their destination.
Here is more on one of these issues, namely Death Penalty.
