“The Power of Saudi Arabia and the Naivety of the American Report”
This article was translated using artificial intelligence and the original language of the article is Arabic.
I followed the report provided by U.S. intelligence to Congress regarding the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, may he rest in peace. The report was filled with fallacies, falsehoods, and distortions concerning the trustworthy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. As soon as the report was released, the entire world stood with Saudi Arabia, witnessing the remarkable stance of the Saudi people, the Gulf, and the entire Arab world as they exposed the report’s falsification of the facts surrounding this issue, which had already been resolved by the independent Saudi judiciary that firmly rejects any interference in its affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a brief statement affirming that the Saudi government categorically rejects the report’s offensive and incorrect conclusions about its leadership, which are unacceptable under any circumstances. The statement also emphasized that the report contained inaccurate information and conclusions, and reiterated that the competent authorities had previously addressed this heinous crime, which violated Saudi laws and was committed by a group that overstepped regulations and exceeded their authority. Final judicial rulings were issued against them, which were welcomed by the deceased’s family. The Foreign Ministry expressed regret over the contents of the report and reaffirmed that Saudi Arabia rejects anything that undermines its leadership, sovereignty, and judicial independence. The statement concluded by respecting the longstanding partnership between the two countries and the foundations of cooperation based on mutual respect.
U.S. intelligence failed in issuing a report that was largely based on assumptions and conclusions contrary to the truth and devoid of logic. They attempted to present it to Congress as a form of political blackmail, reflecting the character of those in charge of human rights in America, while also amplifying discordant voices abroad and those hostile to Saudi Arabia in an attempt to sway public opinion. This was a failed effort to propagate misinformation. The world was watching, and this misstep backfired on those behind it. Saudi Arabia and its leadership will remain in a position of leadership, sovereignty, and strength, unaffected by such reports manufactured to serve the political goals of foreign adversaries and destructive organizations seeking to undermine our security and stability. I would like to emphasize that this has only made us stronger and more respected, while they have gained nothing but loss and failure.
To build on what I have previously discussed in earlier articles, it is essential to establish media platforms to counter such abuses and convey the true image of our country and leadership to different nations. Additionally, we must closely monitor this media war abroad and plan to confront it with utmost competence and professionalism.
