He added in his statements to the "Out of the Text" program (26/7/2020) that highlighted the book "Saudi Arabia .. A Kingdom in the Face of Risks", that Saudi Arabia used oil to provide financial support to the people and granted additional salaries. Religion was also used to warn against corruption and sedition, then the tribe by warning against a return to tribal struggle for power.
The Dutch academic, Paul Arts, and the Dutch journalist Caroline Rollants through the book "Saudi Arabia .. A Kingdom in the Face of Dangers", tried to analyze the Saudi reality of the Western reader, and wonder if Saudi Arabia is really in danger?
The book states that "despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is an oil rich country, it suffers from many of the problems faced by Egypt, Tunisia, and Syria, which were covered by the Arab Spring revolutions, including the existence of a poor people, a high rate of unemployment, repression and corruption."
The authors added that it has been proven that all of this constituted a dangerous explosive mix in other Arab countries, and therefore there is no room for surprise completely if huge demonstrations take place in the streets of Riyadh and Jeddah.
For his part, Saeed Bin Nasser Al-Ghamdi, president of the Arab Peninsula Center for Studies and Research, said that Saudi Arabia is in disaster - according to his description - because it is being led to accumulated internal and external problems, and some of the issues that the authors expected from a power struggle and a possible internal explosion have become a reality.
On the other hand, the writer Imad Al-Din Al-Jubouri said that the book has unrealistic political dimensions, considering that the social and economic problems that the regional countries suffer from cannot reach their lengths to demand the overthrow of the regime.
It is reported that the book was published in the Dutch language in 2013, and was updated in 2015 to be translated into English, Arabic and Persian.
