These are the arms of the next king of Saudi Arabia
Foreign Policy magazine published an article by Washington Institute Director Simon Henderson, saying that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman knew he could not govern alone; he was raising a number of young princes to serve his agenda.
"Salman's son destroys the way we understand Saudi Arabia. In an attempt to strengthen his position, he abandoned caution and consensiveness - the traditional way of Saudi rule - out of the window a few months ago and moved in a reckless, quick and uninteresting way to get the support of his uncles and a large number of children. "Last Saturday's arrests, which included 11 emirs, indicate that the royal family is no longer above the law."
The writer adds that "the comments about what Ibn Salman did was between the expectation that he leads the country to a dictatorship or revolution, but the scrutiny of the statements of Ibn Salman and his actions during the past year, reveal that he calculated his steps and not prompt. The Attorney General said that investigations into corruption since Three years, while Ibn Salman himself said in an interview in May that he will pursue the corrupt, whatever their character.
In his article, Henderson notes that "at the same time, the son of Salman has been quietly conducting a series of appointments for princes in the late 1920s or early 1930s and will be important for power in the coming decades. They are either the descendants of the founder Abdul Aziz bin Saud or the descendants of his grandsons."
"The son of Salman forbids any collective work in the family, as the old saying has proved: divide and rule. In the whole property, the association of family members and blood is more important than the ability of any Saudi leader in the future. "The Al-Saud family has experienced a difficult phase in the transition of power. What is different this time is that it is not linked to age or status. Young people usually do not have experience. This is a risk that Ibn Salman should take into consideration."
Henderson points out that the young Ibn Salman team includes:
Abdul Aziz bin Fahad:
He is the grandson of King Abdul Aziz bin Saud. Since June, he has served as deputy governor of al-Jouf, near the border with Jordan. His father was a soldier and commander of the ground forces in June 2017.
Faisal bin Sattam:
In June 2017, he was appointed Ambassador to Riyadh in Rome and showed sympathy for the rise of Ibn Salman. As a member of the Allegiance Commission, he voted against the appointment of Crown Prince Prince Muqrin in 2014 as the first sign of his loyalty to Camp Salman and became Crown Prince after King Abdullah's death. January, 2015, but was replaced by Mohammed bin Nayef three months later. It is said that King Abdullah planned to appoint Muqrin as crown prince to give his son Meteb bin Abdullah the opportunity to ascend to the king, and was tired of one of the detainees after being removed from the presidency of the National Guard.
Abdul Aziz bin Saud:
(30 years), Minister of the Interior, who was appointed in June 2017, after the isolation of his uncle Mohammed bin Nayef, and his father is an emir of the eastern region, where the majority of Shiites live. His powers were determined days after his appointment. , And "If he is angry he does not show his anger publicly."
Abdul Aziz bin Turki:
(34 years), deputy director of the Sports Authority, was appointed in June 2017. His father, Turki bin Faisal, served as ambassador to London and Washington, and director of Saudi intelligence. His father had been involved in dialogues with Israeli officials.
Ahmed bin Fahad:
One of the descendants of King Ibn Saud. He was appointed Deputy Emir of the Eastern Province in April 2017. His father was Emir of the region from 1986 to 1993 and died in 2001.
Bandar bin Khaled:
(52 years), was appointed adviser to the Royal Court in June 2017, and his father is the prince of the region of Mecca.
Khalid bin Bandar:
He was appointed ambassador to Germany in June 2017 and educated in Oxford, the son of Prince Bandar.
Bandar Bin Sultan:
Former ambassador to Washington.
Khalid bin Salman:

Saud bin Khalid:
He was appointed deputy governor of Medina in April 2017.
Turki bin Mohammed:
(38 years), was appointed adviser to the Royal Court in June 2017, and his father is the son of King Fahd, who served as Emir of the Eastern region between 1986 - 2013.
"An emir who could have been on the list is Mansur bin Muqrin, deputy governor of Assir, who was killed in a helicopter crash on November 5 and has served as a deputy to Prince Asir since 2013 and became an adviser to the Royal Court in 2015, His father was removed from the throne, and there is speculation that he did not like the son of Salman; because of the marginalization of his father, rumors spread that his death was not an accident but a mastermind.
"There is no relative of Prince Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz, one of the members of the so-called Seven Sisters, and the deletion of his relatives is clear; because Ahmed voted Against the appointment of Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince. "
"The son of Salman sees himself and sees his father as the next king of Saudi Arabia, and recent rumors that the change is near, and this may happen at the end of this week, and usually the Crown depends on the broad acceptance within the family to transfer power, Assert that this is not the case, and instead will rely on the authority on the list of the princes concerned in new positions.
The author states that "there is a group that can rely on them, the princes of the army, and it is difficult to identify them and they are important to prevent coups. In a telegram that leaked to Wikileaks dating back to 1985, Stability ").
"It is believed that King Salman sees his son Muhammad as a new son of Saud, a great leader with great ambitions, and more promising than any candidate for the throne, but even Mohammed bin Salman discovers that in order to move the kingdom and transform its economy and face regional challenges, He needs to be a leader of a family team.
