The Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman who sees himself as the supporter of the Gulf countries and the fierce face against Iran, the hero and one with a great political mind, is actually surrounded by a bad liner that only deceive him to believe the image he tries to promote for himself.
The NEOM project is one of Bin Salman's projects that play functional roles regarding regional economic and political cooperation. The project contains promises of local employment that would bring development and coming economic boom in the country.
Last November, the media were preoccupied with news about a meeting between the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, which Riyadh denied through its foreign minister, but statements by some Saudi advisors indicated the authenticity of the news.
The meeting included discussion of two main files, the first was the file of Saudi-Israeli coordination against Iran, and the second was a discussion of the normalization of Saudi relations with the Israeli occupation entity.
In September 2020, MBS had allowed for the first time the passage of the Israeli occupation entity's airspace.
Bin Salman marketed the NEOM economic project as a means of reshaping regional relations and gradually integrating the Israeli occupation entity into the region, “meaning that the project has a functional role as an economic cover for regional alliances in which normalization is a fundamental pillar.”
With the “NEOM” project, Saudi Arabia seeks to expand the areas for international and Arab acceptance of its role regionally, especially since the project connects Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and its launchers are expected to help “Israel” become involved in the region.
This was obvious as many Israeli investors attended the launch of the project, followed by conversations between Kushner and Bin Salman.
