Mohammed bin Salman Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Mohammed bin Salman is in the global spotlight this week, stepping center stage as the Crown Prince prepares to deliver Saudi Arabia’s annual royal address to the Shura Council. Set for Wednesday, this speech marks the opening of the council’s second year in its current session and is anticipated across the Kingdom for its national significance. According to Asharq Al-Awsat and the Saudi Press Agency, the address will outline Saudi Arabia’s domestic and foreign policy direction, legislative priorities, and progress on major national projects. The Shura Council’s Speaker underscored that the royal speech is expected to provide clear policy directives, focusing on legislative oversight and the country’s accelerating economic diversification and technological advancement.

In the last 24 hours, newsrooms buzzed over the ongoing regional crisis after the Israeli strike on Doha, Qatar. Arab News reports that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman immediately reached out, offering Qatar “full solidarity” by pledging all Saudi capabilities to support measures protecting Qatari security and sovereignty. Within hours, he held a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, during which both leaders condemned the attack as a “criminal act” and reaffirmed the collective regional stance demanding respect for Arab states’ sovereignty. The tone was serious: calls for robust international action and warnings about escalating instability echoed through statements from Riyadh, Amman, Doha, and across the Gulf.

This follows a stretch of high-profile public leadership. The Crown Prince has chaired cabinet sessions, most recently on Tuesday, briefing ministers not only on regional security but also emphasizing progress in Saudi Arabia’s human capital development, new cybersecurity initiatives, and successful efforts to bring major international events—like hosting the International Association of Prosecutors conference in 2026, further bolstering Saudi Arabia’s global profile, as covered by the Saudi Gazette and other state sources. He also publicly reassured officials and citizens about King Salman’s health and acknowledged broad prayers for his recovery, demonstrating his unified family leadership.

On the international stage, there’s lingering buzz from the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum held in Riyadh during President Trump’s May visit, with Mohamed bin Salman in the front row. Hoover Institution analysts noted the striking moment as Trump called for Saudi normalization with Israel—met with palpable silence—signaling how MBS balances modernization ambitions with complex diplomatic realities and Arab public sentiment.

For the social media crowd, MBS was trending as users debated the royal address’s likely themes: regional stability, tech innovation, investment, and Saudi’s assertive new international posture. Posts also amplified the Kingdom’s call for international law to be respected in the wake of the Doha attack.

As always, speculation swirls, especially around rumored upcoming foreign trips and announcements linked to U.S. defense, new tech partnerships, and—dare we say it—the always tantalizing possibility of a Saudi-Israel normalization breakthrough. But so far, official confirmation on those fronts remains elusive.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
