discussion on the world stage as the country's supreme ruler.

World leaders have praised his liberal reforms and initiatives like Vision 2030. However, he has also faced criticism for his excessive love for the Western lifestyle and controversial decisions.

Arms deals and controversial reforms
The Saudi crown prince has strengthened international relations with the United States through the largest arms deal in Saudi Arabia's history. Donald Trump's recent visit saw the signing of 145 deals worth more than $300 billion. The Saudi administration has also announced that it will allow the sale of alcohol in 600 designated locations starting next year.

Saudi administration's silence on Gaza issue

The Saudi Crown Prince's administration has been criticized for failing to take an effective stance against the Israeli aggression on Gaza. The country responded with a statement of just 27 words. It has even banned political slogans expressing solidarity with Palestine.

Youth protest called 'Masked Youth Movement'
In a rare sight in Saudi Arabia, a 'masked youth movement' has begun on TikTok against the Saudi Crown Prince. Protesters are covering their faces, changing their voices and hiding their identities to harshly criticize MBS's regime.

The main complaint of the movement
The young people claim that the Saudi Crown Prince is taking away citizens' freedoms, spreading corruption in the administration and running billions of dollars of entertainment programs in the name of development. They are particularly angry about recent concerts, dances and entertainment events, which they say are against Islamic values.

Security concerns

Concerns have been raised about the safety of members of the movement. There are precedents in Saudi Arabia of arrests, imprisonments, or travel bans for criticism expressed on social media. This has raised questions about the future of the Masked Youth Movement.

While Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is hailed as a modernizer, a section of the country's youth are protesting his administration's policies. The movement, dubbed the 'Masked Youth Movement', has raised new questions: is this a foreign conspiracy or the inner anger of Saudi youth?
