As with the talking heads, the corruption crackdown in Saudi has dominated the conversation among opinion pieces. Saudi’s highly public crackdown on corruption is a huge step away from the kingdom’s traditional discreteness in handling sensitive issues, Al Shorouk’s Emad El Din Hussein says. Mai Azzam also takes to the pages of Al Masry Al Youm to voice her concern about the crown prince’s actions, which she describes as abrupt and aggressive. She points to other rash decisions MbS has taken in the past, such as waging war in Yemen, and current moves that seem to be in the works, including a potential clash with Hezbollah, which she cautions could spell disaster for the region as a whole.
