What will Prince Mohammad bin Salman do after he is crowned King of Saudi Arabia?
It was reported that Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz would retire soon and announce his son, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammad bin Salman, as his successor. The report also said this information had been shared by a source close to the Saudi royal family.
The source who spoke to press stressed that King Salman would continue to serve as a ceremonial leader, “like the Queen of England,” but would transfer the official role of the country’s leadership to his son. The report also said it was the last step of 32-year-old Prince Mohammad bin Salman on his way to a formal takeover of Saudi Arabia, which has been in a political turmoil in recent weeks due to the arrest of more than 40 princes and senior ministers as part of an anti-corruption campaign.
It is understood that King Salman will announce the appointment of MBS as King of Saudi Arabia next week unless something unexpected happens.
The question is “What will Prince Mohammad bin Salman do after he is crowned King of Saudi Arabia?”
Sources believe Prince Mohammad bin Salman will focus mainly on Iran—Saudi Arabia’s biggest rival in the Gulf, following his acquirement of power as king. The danger is “what happens if he hits Iran and Hezbollah – as sources claim – with the support of Israel?”
Experts believe he has a plan to start the conflict in Lebanon again and no doubt Israel would be his support in this fight against Iran and Hezbollah. It is no secret the Prince has already promised Israel billions of dollars in direct financial aid. The question is “in return for what”. The picture shows Israel will be on the stage once again, doing its own thing to look after the benefits of USA (Israel in reality).
Let us hope and pray the terrible conflict in Syria does not start all over again to include Iran as well. Because if such as unwanted situation realizes and Saudi Arabia starts fighting against Iran and Hezbollah in Syria the region will be on fire again and this time much worse.
