Sources: 3. Developments: 2. The Saudi Arabian government has engaged in both security-focused deliberations and administrative restructuring. During a cabinet session in Jeddah chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, ministers addressed regional security concerns, specifically condemning attacks by Iran-aligned militias on Saudi oil facilities and commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The cabinet emphasized the need to protect sovereignty and urged the Iraqi government to prevent its territory from being used for aggression. Following these developments, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud issued royal decrees to reconstitute the Saudi Council of Ministers. While the reshuffle, led by the Crown Prince, retained current cabinet members, it included new leadership appointments for key economic entities. Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman was appointed chairman of the Board of the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority, and Mazen Al-Sudairi was named chairman of the Capital Market Authority to support ongoing economic reforms. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: Saudi Arabia reconstitutes Cabinet and appoints new economic leaders King Salman has reconstituted the Saudi Council of Ministers under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, while appointing new chairmen for the Local Content Authority and the Capital Market Authority. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/saudi-arabia-reconstitutes-cabinet-and-appoints-new-economic-leaders ### 2026-07-28: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Chairs Saudi Cabinet Meeting in Jeddah Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman led a Saudi cabinet meeting in Jeddah, reviewing regional security, condemning Iranian‑backed militia attacks and outlining education reforms under Vision 2030. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/crown-prince-mohammed-bin-salman-chairs-saudi-cabinet-meeting-in-jeddah --- Cite as: Saudi Arabian government administrative and security updates.
