Decision makers in the world are aware of the importance of the Kingdom in establishing stability, security and economic strength in the Middle East region, and the White House is aware of the importance of the Kingdom as a major player in regional, international, Arab and Islamic files, even if positions and visions differ in different political administrations in the United States of America. There are “political constants” that do not It can be bypassed, and the Kingdom is one of the pillars and makers of these constants. The Kingdom possesses many keys through which it is able to take decisive positions in various international issues, and perhaps foremost among that is its ability to deal with all major active powers in the world, east and west.
If we review the major decisions that are taken regarding the Middle East, and the Arab region in particular, these decisions will not go beyond the compass of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or its partnership in establishing wise and decisive decisions. His back is for the sake of firm and guaranteed alliances to attend the Gulf summit in which Egypt, Jordan and Iraq participate, which reaffirms that it is not possible in any way for international decision-making capitals to jump on Saudi Arabia as it is the safety valve in the Middle East region and has the final say in pivotal files for the entire region, Rather, this regression in the positions of the American administration confirms an official and explicit recognition that Riyadh is the capital of Arab decision-making and the compass of politics in the region from which major decisions do not deviate. This is also confirmed by the tripartite understanding between Amman, Cairo and Baghdad, and the sitting of their leaders alongside the leaders of the Gulf states in a strong message. The importance tells Washington that there is an important and major player in the region that cannot be bypassed in any way.
Important and influential political and economic events in the Middle East region determine the Kingdom's policy and leadership of Arab decision-making and its political aspirations towards stronger and more stable relations and alliances. The oil-producing allied with it «OPEC Plus» reduced oil production by two million barrels per day, which sparked an unprecedented state of panic and anger in Washington, given its negative political and economic repercussions on the United States, its allies and oil-consuming countries alike, in addition to the latest developments. In the Syrian arena, all these events move the global decision and provoke the American administration, which considers Russia, China and Iran its enemies, but at the same time, the Kingdom does not waste its political future on the stock exchange of the losing ally that plays at stake, but rather puts its confidence in the basket of political alliances that guarantee its stability and stability. The region, its prosperity, and the zeroing of its differences with its opponents, and therefore the “capital of Arab decision-making” was not arbitrarily assumed by Riyadh.
