How Saudi Arabia managed to control the White House

How Saudi Arabia managed to control the White House

The Saudi-American relationship is a historical one that has been going on for more than eight decades. It is a document based on a coalition of interests, security versus oil and money. Nevertheless, there were strong tremors during that period, especially after the terrorist attack of September 11, the latest of which is the repercussions of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Was brutally killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey by a Saudi security team working under the direct supervision of the Saudi Crown Prince's office. The US Senate passed a unanimous draft that carries the Saudi crown prince responsible for the killing of Khashoggi while the administration of President Trump at Father's House Z reservations so far from the adoption of the resolution and load responsibility for the authority of Saudi Arabia, in particular, the Crown Prince, from the door of maintaining the economic interests and the continued flow of Saudi money to provide millions of jobs to the American people by permission Trump.
The crime of Khashoggi's assassination has turned into an exciting global case, the result of the brutality of the carefully planned operation, and its occurrence inside a consular building abroad, which means that it bypasses the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and attempts to lie and falsify the facts from the outset about crime, After the submission of irrefutable evidence, and hold the responsibility of those who carried out the killing scapegoat with the insistence on counterfeiting and non-recognition of the role of senior officials and cover up the issue and procrastination in the process of investigation and uncovering the facts and prosecute the perpetrators and those involved in issuing orders, Rima reiterated the insistence of the Saudi authorities to deal with the issue as an internal matter concerning the Saudi issue by justifying that the victim was a citizen killed on Saudi soil. The consulate building will try the accused in their own way, refusing to interfere with any party, including Turkey.
What is the future of US-Saudi relations in light of the Senate's responsibility for the killing of the Saudi Crown Prince, will the resolution be a reality for implementation, or will it remain a mere draft of the US blackmail of the ruling family such as the Justa Kassif law against Saudi Arabia that can be used at any time?
Has the Saudi role ended or is the hour of divorce approaching?

Historic Stations
Saudi-US relations began in the 1930s with US companies being granted the right to explore for oil in the eastern region. It developed in the 1940s with Saudi Arabia joining the coalition countries in World War II.

The first Saudi-American summit was held in 1945 between King Abdul Aziz bin Saud and US President Roosevelt aboard the US warship Quincyve in Suez. President Richard Nixon was the first American president to visit Saudi Arabia in 1974, during which he met with King Faisal, following the lifting of the decision to ban the sale of oil to Western countries, which was taken during the October 1973 war. And Saudi Arabia to buy bonds and shares in the US Treasury hundreds of billions, and linking the US dollar dollar oil, an agreement known as petrodollar, an agreement that still serves the interests of US policy.

The September 11 terrorist attack has made American public opinion, American media institutions and members of Congress blame Riyadh for being a supporter of the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks. In the era of President Obama in 2016 was issued by the law of the hunt for the ruling family in Saudi Arabia and accounting for the confiscation of Saudi funds in America and estimated hundreds of billions and Saudi Arabia responded to the threat of withdrawing funds from the US market despite the existence of the law of 
foreign sovereign immunity.

Saudi Arabia has tried to absorb the American anger, especially the official, by supporting all American projects in the Middle East and the world, and America's participation in its wars against terrorism everywhere.

The Saudi-American relationship during President Obama's reign has been tempered by his support for the Arab popular movement known as the Arab Spring and its support for the fall of Hosni Mubarak's regime in Egypt and Ben Ali in Tunisia, despite Saudi Arabia's refusal to topple the Mubarak regime, which is a strategic ally of Riyadh. The second thing that angered the Saudi regime is that the Obama administration signed the nuclear deal with Iran, which Riyadh considers its first enemy.

Successive US administrations and the Saudi authorities have managed to maintain relations of interests in all circumstances and challenges. What is important to Washington is the interests, influence and money, which is important to Riyadh's military and security protection and political cover to stay in the throne.

The Gulf region is important and sensitive to US states whose security is part of America's security and is the most important source of oil and gas. The US and Saudi relations are based on interests and influence. America believes that control of the oil-rich Gulf states in the name of protection of the ruling regimes, especially Saudi Arabia, And the strengthening of the status of its currency thanks to the dollar-for-oil deal. Saudi Arabia is being protected especially for its abuses and violations of human rights and control over neighboring countries.

Interests, influence and control
It is currently unlikely that America will abandon Saudi Arabia and its regional Arab, Islamic and economic role and the stability of the oil energy market, in light of the continuing interests that determine the relationship between them. He needs money to achieve his electoral promises and success during his first presidency. He aspires to the second and provides millions of jobs by forcing the Gulf regimes to "He said many times:" Saudi Arabia has to pay for protection. "

It is in the interests of America to control the Arab world and especially the Islamic and this is through Saudi Arabia, the richest Arab country, and control over the most important sites of the Islamic world Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia is a tool to serve American projects has supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan according to US demand, The Zionist entity and pass the policy of normalization between the Arab regimes and the occupation state and the deal of the century, through Saudi Arabia to play the role required according to American specifications.

"It is important and useful for Israel to keep Saudi Arabia stable," the head of the Israeli occupation government said after Khashoggi's death and the Saudi Crown Prince's responsibility. "Israel is concerned that bin Salman could be abandoned. America also needs Saudi Arabia in the policy of scaling back and confronting the Iranian role and the revolutionary movements rejecting the new Middle East project.
Trump's historic visit to Riyadh

Previous experiences in US-Saudi relations have revealed that Washington is dealing with Riyadh's policy of interests, especially on the economic front. During the recent US presidential election, Trump resorted to escalation against Saudi Arabia and said that the free protection period had passed. Saudi Arabia arranged a visit to the US president to be Riyadh's first overseas station. He received a festive reception and held a summit with leaders of Arab and Islamic countries in Riyadh and delivered a speech to Arab and Islamic leaders. Explaining his program for the new Middle East normalization with the Israeli occupation, and concluded contracts worth $ 500 billion. Riyadh felt comfortable with the US president's speech against Iran and obtained a statement from the US president to act as a policeman in the region and continue to wage war against Yemen, besiege Qatar and escalate in Syria.

 Family relations
The relationship between Saudi Arabia and America has changed and developed during the Trump era. It has become almost a family relationship between the Al Saud family and the Trump family, and in particular with the brother-in-law of US President Jared Kouchner, the husband of Ivanka, a merchant and businessman interested in economic interests and serving the Israeli entity. , He became responsible for the file of relations with Riyadh, and this contributed to the establishment of a special relationship between Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the son of President Kouchner, and bin Salman received strong US support to become crown prince instead of Mohammed bin Nayef, and arrest dozens of powerful princes competitors, The And the transformation of the conflict from Arab to Zionist to Shiite - Sunni, and used religion and curriculum change and promote the new Saudi Arabia to entertain the people and remove the barriers of closure, all in order to support the Trump project change in the Middle East to make the success of the deal century , A US-Israeli project with strong Saudi support.
The trap

The Saudi Crown Prince exploited the great American and Israeli support and was treated as able to say and do what he wanted to achieve his ambition to build a strong and resolute new Saudi state. He was in a big trap when he assassinated Jamal Khashoggi, a process that President Trump described as " The worst and most stupid and failed intelligence killing in history. " The crown prince expected Khashoggi's case to end at the start of the case at a conference. "Jamal has come out of the consulate and the Turkish government is looking for the Saudi citizen," he said. But the case turned into a global opinion and published evidence to prove that he did not leave the consulate but killed him in a terrible way and cut him and hide his body and publish pictures of the killers, forcing Riyadh to change the story, and after more than 20 days admitted the crime and hold the responsibility for the killing of members of the Saudi intelligence service and staff in the Office of the covenant.

But the continued disclosure of more evidence to prove Bin Salman's involvement has made the Senate approve a project he holds responsible for Khashoggi's killing, making the White House uncomfortable. He does not want to lose Saudi Arabia, despite the stark evidence of bin Salman. Trump tried to question intelligence stories Which indicates the involvement of the Crown Prince, as he emphasizes on the relationship with Riyadh, and that he will not abandon Saudi Arabia and deals with hundreds of billions for a criminal case.
director

Some observers believe that after the American intelligence evidence proved that Saudi Crown Prince was responsible for Khashoggi's murder and a Senate conviction, and with Trump insisting on maintaining ties with Saudi Arabia and the survival of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the US Congress would press the president to ask the family The Saudi ruling is an alternative to Mohammed bin Salman to continue the American-Saudi relationship as it was, and to leave the American administration of the circle of embarrassment to deal with the involved and responsible for the murder of the ugly, the image of the Princess has become shaken, and the Western media will not be silent, Which put the killers of the author Jamal Khashoggi, accounting target.

This proposal serves the interests of Saudi Arabia and America. The Saudi authorities feel the danger. A large number of members of the ruling family support finding an alternative to Prince Muhammad bin Salman as a way out to continue their rule under American protection, but he is unable to deal with this delicate issue. But iron with all the keys of the state. The White House has not settled its options on dealing with bin Salman but the coming days will witness further developments with the new House of Representatives, which will hold its first meeting on 3 January 2019.

It is interests that link US-Saudi relations and not principles and values. The American administration is trying to exploit the crisis to further blackmail. If it is in America's interest to abandon the Saudi crown prince, this will happen in many ways. America has the strength, experience and capability.
