At no time in the past has the kingdom been faced with so many interrelated challenges. Most issues have been resolved by moderate or dramatic shifts in foreign relations and domestic decisions. Saudi Arabia todayis a fully nonaligned country that maintains strong and good ties with the U.S. and Russia while cautiously developing its relations with Israel.
