**Riyadh Reigns: Saudi Arabia's Role in Global Diplomacy Surges Amid Ukrainian Talks**
As President Trump’s second term unfolds, Saudi Arabia is repositioning itself as a pivotal player in international politics, hosting crucial discussions on Ukraine and Gaza.
In a remarkable shift from being labeled a “pariah” just a few years ago due to human rights controversies, Saudi Arabia is now re-emerging as a crucial diplomatic hub. Following President Trump’s return to the White House, the kingdom is capitalizing on its extensive oil resources and regional influence, showing its potential to reshape international relations.
This week, Riyadh has become the focal point for discussions involving U.S., Russian, and Arab officials. Arab leaders are anticipated to meet on Friday to present a counterproposal aimed at preventing the dispersal of around two million people in Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan. The goal is to instead transform the region into a luxurious tourist destination, dubbed the "Riviera of the Middle East."
On Tuesday, high-level talks commenced between senior officials from America and Russia, centering on ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and restoring bilateral relations—a pressing foreign policy objective for President Trump. The Russian delegation convened at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, formerly infamous for Saudi Arabia's high-profile crackdown on corrupt businessmen.
On this occasion, the kingdom is actively promoting a new image of peace and negotiation, with social media promoting hashtags like “Country of peace” in relation to the high-stake diplomacy. The lunch served during the talks, which included an assortment of seafood delicacies, further illustrated the kingdom's commitment to hosting an amicable resolution. Excitement is palpable as Saudi Arabia embraces its role as “the capital of world decisions,” marking its transition into a key player in the global geopolitical landscape.
