Saudi Arabia

"Talking, trying to take down tensions, trying to see if there's a modus vivendi, trying to get countries to take actions on things they're doing that you don't like—that's good, that's positive," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

Murphy was headed this week to Oman, Qatar and Jordan to discuss political solutions to the war in Yemen.

The ultimate aim for the two countries' societies, economies and future is to be so interdependent that conflict would be unthinkable.

As President Joe Biden prepares to wave goodbye to his first 100-day stretch, those in the realist and restraint community are at least breathing a sigh of relief—things could be better, but they could also be worse.

"We do not want the situation of Iran to be difficult, on the contrary, we want a prosperous Iran," Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said.

A new report indicates sources from outside the country are working to cause societal discord

If there was ever a time for the U.S. to seriously consider a troop withdrawal from the Middle East, that time is now.

There must also be a structured, incentivized approach to deescalating the conflict, based not on mere good will (which seldom works with terror groups), but on a stick-and-carrot approach.

Saudi Arabia's political and economic clout across the Middle East make it a necessary ally—but a difficult one, given the kingdom's appalling human rights record at home and abroad.

The new ceasefire deal could, if accepted, end almost six years of war that has killed more than 233,000 people.

Our goal should be to work closely and cooperatively with our friends and allies, and to continue to improve lives, step by step, day by day.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia as the White House pushes for a diplomatic solution.

The Duchess of Sussex wore earrings from Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman—as the world demanded he explain the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Just weeks into its tenure, the Biden administration is already executing a profound pivot in the Middle East.

Simply put, the United States has a binary choice in the Persian Gulf.

The announcement follows a U.S. intelligence report saying that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved an operation to capture or kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The U.S. can further honor the memories of Slim, al-Hashemi, Khashoggi and countless unknown activists by naming their murderers and holding them accountable.

Tabuk, in the mountainous north-west region of Saudi Arabia, sees snowfall on a yearly basis.

When the United States shies away from international leadership, other actors, often with hostile intent, fill that void.

It is time for the Yemeni political elites to take responsibility, stop relying on and blaming the same foreigners for all their ills.

The betrayal becomes all the more egregious given Saudi Arabia's recent efforts to fix the very human rights record that Biden now condemns.

A viral video of snow-covered camels in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia has prompted online discussion about the normalcy of snow in the area.

A rare winter storm blanketed swathes of the Middle East, from Saudi Arabia to Syria and Libya to Lebanon, in snow.

Human rights standards are powerful because they apply to all governments—the strong and the weak, friends and foes.

President Joe Biden is in the same situation former President Barack Obama was in, partly due to conditions out of his control, but mostly due to actions he can control.

An exiled Saudi dissident has filed a lawsuit against McKinsey & Co. in New York, alleging the consulting firm raised his profile as a government critic to Saudi authorities.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said the attack set a passenger jet on fire and constituted a "war crime."

Biden's moves to empower Iran and its Houthi proxy against the U.S.'s Arab Gulf allies will be very costly to the region and to the U.S.

U.S. interests diverge from those of the Gulf states and deescalating tensions with Iran should be the primary objective.

Along with China and Russia, Saudi Arabia has an appalling human rights record and to deny this does Paul Casey no credit.
