الـوَهَـج

Saudi Arabia is under Houthi missile and drone fire. Look at what it did this week anyway. On Wednesday, President al-Sharaa was in Riyadh for the second time in less than a month. Saudi Arabia signed over $403 million in development loans to Syria: $100m to rebuild hospitals and health facilities $60m to repair damaged homes $105m to strengthen civil defence $90m to bring Aleppo's power plant back to life $30m for drinking water in Damascus and Idlib That comes on top of $2 billion for Aleppo's airports and a fiber network to reconnect Syria with the world. In Yemen, Saudi Arabia's Masam project cleared 2,037 mines and explosives in the last week of October alone. The total since the project began: 600,000. Mines planted by the Houthis, threatening Yemeni civilians every day, children included. And in 2025, Saudi Arabia was the world's second largest humanitarian donor according to UN data. It covered almost half of all aid to Yemen. Think about that. The Houthis fire missiles at Saudi airports. Saudi Arabia clears Houthi mines from Yemeni soil. One side exports chaos. The other builds hospitals, power plants and water systems for its neighbours. That is the difference between Iran's axis and Saudi Arabia. And that is why the region is turning toward Riyadh.
