Saudi Arabia has surpassed Egypt as the dominant Arab leader under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's vision. The country has taken on a prominent role in regional and global affairs, particularly in diplomacy, economics, sports, and media. Saudi Arabia's strategic location, large oil reserves, and economic aid to neighboring countries have contributed to its growing influence. Additionally, its status as the custodian of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina gives it a unique position in the Islamic world. However, Saudi Arabia's capabilities now face challenges with the new American president's policies and the need for cooperation in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
