" Increasingly, MBS appears unsure of his footing as the region is living through a phase of major transition."

Saudi Arabia And Israel: MBS Clings To Normalization, Cracks Down On Critics.

BEIRUT — The controversy erupted almost immediately. When news arrived of Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, some Saudis — not surprisingly — openly expressed joy. Yet others went beyond that, and declared that Saudi Arabia has no connection to the Palestinian cause.

The polemics were stirred up on social media by what is known in Saudi Arabia as “electronic flies” and “The Salman Army,” in reference to the powerful Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the Saudi Kingdom’s de facto leader.

Bin Salman, also known as MBS, has tried to cover up any connection between these online campaigns and his policies. But it’s known globally that he has led a years-long crackdown campaign that silenced any critical voice in Saudi Arabia.

Such policies have created and promoted loyal figures to dominate the scene. The crown prince also imposed unprecedented internet restrictions on any criticism of his policies and vision.

So there were the headlines and news reports for all to see: “Israel kills Sinwar after Haniyeh… Hamas is headless,” the front page of the Jeddah-based Okaz newspaper read.

And the Saudi MBC- TV station broadcast a report last Friday which stirred particular outrage on social media, finally forcing Saudi authorities to investigate. The report characterized former leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran’s Quds Force as “faces of terrorism.”

The MBC report described the likes of Sinwar, late Quds chief Qasem Soleimani and recently killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as terrorists.

Soon after, Iraq's Communication and Media Commission suspended MBC's broadcast license and said it was taking steps to terminate the channel rights to operate in the country. It said in a statement that its duty was to “deter violators of national values and public morals” and that MBC had repeatedly violated these rules in “its assaults on the martyrs.”

The Palestinian-led, anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement called for boycotting MBC and other Saudi and Emirati channels, describing them as "the mouthpieces of the Israeli enemy that speak Arabic.”

(Most Americans don't know that anti "BDS" Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions were passed in their state mostly without Public consultation by Zionist lobby As of 2024, 38 states have passed bills and executive orders designed to discourage boycotts of Israel).

As part of his latest attempt to broker a Middle East ceasefire, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Saudi leader MBS in Riyadh on Wednesday after a visit to Israel.

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Blinken "emphasized the need to end the war in Gaza, free the hostages and enable the people of Gaza to rebuild their lives free from Hamas."

The two officials also reviewed Saudi-American relations and discussed regional issues. Blinken is set to hold meetings with Arab leaders in London later this week.

The backlash prompted Saudi Arabia’s Media Regulatory Authority to issue a statement, saying it was looking into a report it said violated its media policy, though it didn’t cite MBC by name.

Some have questioned the rapid shift in the Saudi public mood towards the Palestinian cause. Citizens are afraid to criticize the official media for its coverage of the Gaza war, the latest sign of the deterioration of freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia, But the ongoing crackdown on critics of MBS becomes more difficult with the dire situation in Gaza and the ambiguity of Saudi foreign policy. The severe restrictions on freedom of expression coincide with the division of the Gulf region into two main axes, Qatar and the Emirates-(UAE). Saudi Arabia has instead fallen in the position of a follower rather than a decider, oscillating between the two axes without a clear strategy.

Following Hamas’ attack on Israel in October 7, reports circulated widely that among the motivations of the attack was the halting of the normalization process between Saudi Arabia and Israel. In the wake of the attack, the official Saudi position was limited to condemnation.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry called for “an immediate end to the escalation between the two sides, the protection of civilians, and self-restraint.” It also condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Israel’s occupation of the Philadelphia Corridor between Egypt and Gaza.

But this position was accompanied by limiting the expression of solidarity with Palestine during cultural and artistic activities organized by Saudi Arabia, especially the Riyadh Season.
