Notes
In June 1916, in front of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, the Arab Revolt was announced, led by Hussein bin Ali, and with Britain’s support for his authority. On November 2, 1916, Hussein declared himself “King of the Arab Countries,” and ten years later, in 1926, Abdulaziz bin Saud was appointed “King of Najd, Hijaz, and its annexes.” +++ This study is of a comparative and analytical nature of the political leadership of Ibn Saud and Hussein, each in its surroundings, within the unique framework of the political and social systems in the Arabian Peninsula. +++ The decisive factor for remaining in power was the harmonious relationship between the ruler’s own concept of the state, as a formal system of his political authority, and the concept of the state among the social groups participating in it. In order for the ruler to succeed, he had to translate this vision into practical reality. The struggle for political power between these two leaders ended in the victory of Ibn Saud's political strategy and the consolidation of his sovereignty over most of the Arabian Peninsula. +++ Foreign intervention, as the author believes, can affect the political structure of the country, but it cannot maintain a local ruler for the long term if he does not have a base of authority and coercive power.
