As a Saudi national, I view the Middle East’s complex challenges through the lens of my country’s commitment to regional stability, Islamic values and Vision 2030’s aspirations for sustainable development. The new escalation between Israel and Iran, marked by Israeli airstrikes authorized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, underscores the urgent need for a balanced approach to security, diplomacy and human dignity. These strikes, ostensibly aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions, risk plunging the region into broader conflict, potentially involving global powers like the US.
