“Trump reminded me of Herodotus, 2500 years ago.” "President Trump is an extraordinary leader, the kind you see once in a lifetime. The same is true about Crown prince MBS" “What MBS wants from Trump, and vice versa.” - Part of my interview with @FRANCE24 from Washington DC. 🇺🇸🇸🇦

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 celebrates today the 299th anniversary of the First Saudi State, founded in 1727. A legacy of deep Arab heritage and civilizational depth, a beacon of hope and light to the region and the world. #SaudiFoundingDay #FoundingDay

Last year, I posted about the importance of firing the fanatical, zealous, extremist, inept, and anti American U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. President @realDonaldTrump , @VP, and @SecRubio, it is never too late to do the right thing.

“Netanyahu isn’t the only obstacle to peace, Huckabee is." Last year, I warned about the danger that U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee poses to U.S. interests.

The worst US diplomatic blunder in recent memory. Huckabee just set our relations in the M.E. back decades and destroyed any trust they may have in the US. This is what happens when you hire maniacal religious zealots to represent you overseas. Huckabee must go immediately before more damage is done.

#Breaking: The Saudi 🇸🇦 Foreign Ministry expresses its strongest condemnation and complete rejection of the statements made by the United States 🇺🇸 Ambassador to Israel 🇮🇱, in which he recklessly suggested that Israel’s control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable.

🇺🇸🇦🇪| The @USTreasury has put the UAE in a very embarrassing position after placing the brother of the UAE backed RSF militia leader on the terror list and revealing that he holds an Emirati ID. The ironic part is that Abu Dhabi genuinely believes the world cannot prove its support for this genocidal militia. 🔗: ofac.treasury.gov/recent-act…

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had the honor of offering greetings of peace to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and to his two companions, may Allah be pleased with them, at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah.🇸🇦

Hussein might not be the most well-known freelancer, but those who do know him would not immediately describe him as sharp or principled. The grift for his current freelance job is a few fries short of a happy meal: 1. Select a controversy that can be exploited to bolster the UAE’s position while tarnishing Saudi Arabia. 2. Fabricate a straw-man Saudi position to dismantle, forming the core of your disinformation narrative. 3. Cite any article or tweet from a Saudi individual, or anyone plausibly linked to Saudi Arabia, or content from a Saudi-affiliated outlet, and frame it as official Saudi policy. 4. Implausibly masquerade as a concerned friend of Saudi Arabia and give it tough advice to abandon its invented stance in this contrived fantasy. The real revelation here isn’t the daftness of the freelance grift but what it exposes about the contractor’s acumen.

The UN 🇺🇳 released its report on Sudan 🇸🇩 today: “Hallmarks of genocide” found in El Fasher, as UN investigators detail mass killings and ethnic targeting. I wonder how the UAE 🇦🇪 explains this while it continues arming the RSF militia. news.un.org/en/story/2026/02…

⛔️ If this doesn’t boil your blood, what will? The UAE 🇦🇪 backed RSF militia killed a Sudanese mother as she shielded her infant from gunfire. The UAE MUST stop arming the anti Black, ethnic cleansing mercenaries. #Sudan

A clear message from my wise friend @Salansar1 to @LindseyGrahamSC and to Americans. Saudi Arabia isn't the UAE, and shouldn't be. King Salman is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and with that comes responsibility - to the Saudi people and wider Islamic world - including Palestinians. Stability and regional security matter more than shekels.

A nuanced, objective, and balanced op-ed about Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 by two Americans🇺🇸. Jointly written by former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Michael Ratney and @Princeton's Dr. Bernard Haykel. timesofisrael.com/saudi-arab…

Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC 🇺🇸 said, "we want the Middle East to be like the UAE 🇦🇪." Does that mean: • Supporting genocidal actors in Sudan? • Enabling Iranian backed Houthi networks? • Ignoring @USTreasury terror lists? • Hiring mercenaries from Colombia? • Deepening trade with Iran? • Using secret prisons and torture? • Fooling Americans? Be specific, Senator. You don't really want the region to be like the UAE. If what you really mean is "join the Abraham Accords," then say it clearly. The response will be simple: Saudi Arabia is not a lightweight like the UAE. It is the birthplace of Islam and the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and it will not join the Abraham Accords without addressing Palestinian self determination rights. Period.

⚠️ Attention. I urgently and personally call on Black community leaders in the United States 🇺🇸 to act now on Sudan 🇸🇩. The UAE 🇦🇪 backed RSF militia is a genocidal, racist, deplorable, and Arab supremacist mercenary force seeking to erase native Africans from Al Fasher and beyond. They kill, torture, and rape those they target as fully Black Africans. The UN 🇺🇳 has just confirmed it. Your voices carry weight. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy demands moral courage without borders. Speak now. Post now. Rally now. Pressure your members of Congress to act. Women and children are dying every day. Help stop this racial cleansing and hold this militia and its backers accountable. At the very least, demand that the US 🇺🇸 halt arms sales to the UAE 🇦🇪. Time is running out! #BlackAmericansForSudan 🇺🇸🇸🇩.

Senator @LindseyGrahamSC 🇺🇸 assessment is fundamentally misguided and risks escalating tensions rather than resolving them. The Abraham Accords are unrelated to the Saudi 🇸🇦-UAE 🇦🇪 dispute; linking Saudi scrutiny of Abu Dhabi to Israel is both inaccurate and inflammatory, as it falsely implies that Emirati policies are merely Israeli proxies. The core issue, as highlighted by interviewer @_HadleyGamble, lies in the UAE’s widely criticized support for destabilizing actors, including Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council (STC), whose territorial ambitions threaten Yemen’s unity and Saudi Arabia's security, and Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have faced serious allegations of atrocities in places such as El Fasher. If Senator Graham is genuinely interested in de-escalation, he should instead urge Emirati counterparts to address @USTreasury concerns regarding UAE based networks facilitating Houthi oil smuggling, weapons procurement, and illicit financial flows. Effective diplomacy requires precision, evidence based dialogue, and an end to false equivalences. Saudi Arabia rejects patronizing rhetoric. Respect others if you expect to be respected. Period.
