كان ملفتاً في العام 2024 اختيار هوية اليوم الوطني الـ94 للمملكة العربية السعودية، الذي يوافق 23 سبتمبر من كل عام، تحت شعار «نحلم ونحقق»، فهذا البلد لم تعد فيه الأحلام مستحيلة أو الأهداف غير قابلة للتحقيق، ليس على المستوى الداخلي فحسب، بل حتى على مستوى الأحلام التي راودت الشعوب العربية، أخذت قيادة المملكة على عاتقها السعي لوضع المقاربات الدبلوماسية التي يمكن من خلالها تحقيق آمال وتطلعات الأشقاء، فكان الدعم إلى اللبنانيين لاستعادة دولتهم ووضعها على الطريق الصحيح، كذلك فإن حلم السوريين بالانتقال لمرحلة جديدة وتثبيت دعائمها، كانت السعودية أقرب الدول العربية لهم من الآخرين لتحويل حلمهم إلى واقع يتسم بالأمل رغم كل التحديات.
يمثل المؤتمر الدولي لتسوية القضية الفلسطينية سلمياً، الذي عقد في يوليو 2025، واعتماد «إعلان نيويورك»، الذي أسست له السعودية بشراكة دولية بهدف وضع حل الدولتين كواقع حال، ترجمة فعلية لإيمان قيادة المملكة، ممثلة بخادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك سلمان بن عبد العزيز، وولي العهد الأمير محمد بن سلمان، بالقضية الفلسطينية، وبأنهم لا يضعون هذه القضية كمحطة تفاوض، كذلك فهم مع حق الشعب الفلسطيني ولا تغيير في هذا الموقف للمملكة مهما كانت التحديات؛ لأن القضية عندهم عقيدة ومبدأ وتاريخ، خصوصاً أن المؤتمر عُقد في ظل حرب أسقطت آلاف الضحايا من الفلسطينيين، وشردت مئات الآلاف من غزة، ومحاولات إسرائيلية لضم الضفة الغربية، لذا حظيت خطوة المملكة بتأييد استثنائي من الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة بأغلبية 142 صوتاً، في مشهد تاريخي لحلم طال انتظاره من الشعب الفلسطيني والشعوب العربية والإسلامية وحتى الغربية بالاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية، ونجحت جهود الرياض في الحصول على التزام دولي ثابت بحل الدولتين، يرسم مساراً لا رجعة فيه لبناء مستقبل أفضل للفلسطينيين ولشعوب المنطقة كافة، وما جرى في الـ21 من سبتمبر 2025 من توالي الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية يمثل صفحة وفاء من المملكة لمبادئها أولاً، ولفلسطين ثانياً، وانتصاراً للسلام والاستقرار اللذين تنشدهما.
الحقيقة الثابتة أن الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية من دول كبرى كانت في ما سبق ترفض مناقشة هذه الفكرة، يعود لدور وجهد دبلوماسي سعودي، إذ نجحت «دبلوماسية الأمير» محمد بن سلمان بتحويل مبادرة السلام العربية إلى إطار دولي، ركز فيها على حشد الدعم الكامل للاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية بدبلوماسية هادئة لم تعتمد الشعارات أو الخطابات غير المنتجة، بل كانت انعكاساً لإيمانه بثقل المملكة وتأثيرها الفاعل في هذا التوقيت، ليترجم حلم أمة كاملة إلى أمر ملموس ومن منصة الأمم المتحدة، وليمنحها الشرعية الكاملة ويوقف التغول الإسرائيلي، ولم يكتف «الأمير المبادر» بالاعتراف فقط، إذ أعلن وزير الخارجية الأمير فيصل بن فرحان إطلاق «التحالف الطارئ للاستدامة المالية للسلطة الفلسطينية»، وتقديم السعودية دعماً بمبلغ 90 مليون دولار؛ فضلاً عن التأثير الكبير الذي مارسه ولي العهد على الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب بالقبول بخارطة الطريق السعودية ودمجها مع المقترح الأمريكي لوقف الحرب في غزة وتحقيق تسوية شاملة، وهذا يؤشر بأن المملكة أصبحت قطباً دولياً يقود العالم نحو السلام في ملفات معقدة، فالسعودية «جديرة بالثقة» وفق ما صرح به الرئيس الفرنسي ماكرون.
يتزامن هذا الانتصار الدبلوماسي التاريخي للمملكة مع ذكرى اليوم الوطني السعودي 95، الذي كانت هويته «عزّنا بطبعنا»، والذي جاء تعبيراً صادقاً عن ما تتميز به طباع المملكة وقيادتها وشعبها من الأصالة والكرم والطموح والقدرة على تحقيق الأحلام بعزة وثقة بالنفس والإمكانات لتحقيق الريادة والنجاحات في كل المستويات.

In 2024, the choice of the identity for the 94th National Day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which falls on September 23 each year, under the slogan "We Dream and We Achieve," was striking. This country no longer has impossible dreams or unattainable goals, not only on the internal level but even regarding the dreams that have inspired Arab nations. The leadership of the Kingdom has taken it upon itself to seek diplomatic approaches through which the hopes and aspirations of its brothers can be realized. Support was provided to the Lebanese to restore their state and set it on the right path. Likewise, the dream of the Syrians to transition to a new phase and solidify its foundations found Saudi Arabia as the closest Arab nation to them in turning their dream into a reality characterized by hope despite all challenges.
The international conference for the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue, held in July 2025, and the adoption of the "New York Declaration," which Saudi Arabia established in international partnership with the aim of making the two-state solution a reality, is a tangible translation of the Kingdom's leadership's belief, represented by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in the Palestinian cause. They do not view this issue as a negotiation station; they stand with the rights of the Palestinian people, and there is no change in this position for the Kingdom regardless of the challenges. For them, the issue is a doctrine, a principle, and a history, especially since the conference was held amidst a war that claimed thousands of Palestinian lives and displaced hundreds of thousands from Gaza, along with Israeli attempts to annex the West Bank. Thus, the Kingdom's step received exceptional support from the United Nations General Assembly with a majority of 142 votes, in a historic scene for a long-awaited dream of the Palestinian people and the Arab, Islamic, and even Western nations to recognize the State of Palestine. Riyadh's efforts succeeded in securing a steadfast international commitment to the two-state solution, outlining an irreversible path to build a better future for the Palestinians and all the peoples of the region. What occurred on September 21, 2025, with the continued recognition of the State of Palestine represents a page of loyalty from the Kingdom to its principles first, and to Palestine second, and a victory for the peace and stability that it seeks.
The undeniable truth is that the recognition of the State of Palestine by major countries that previously refused to discuss this idea is due to the role and diplomatic efforts of Saudi Arabia. The "diplomacy of Prince" Mohammed bin Salman succeeded in transforming the Arab Peace Initiative into an international framework, focusing on rallying full support for the recognition of the State of Palestine through calm diplomacy that did not rely on slogans or unproductive speeches. Instead, it reflected his belief in the weight of the Kingdom and its effective influence at this time, translating the dream of an entire nation into a tangible matter from the platform of the United Nations, granting it full legitimacy and halting Israeli encroachment. The "initiating prince" did not stop at recognition alone; Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan announced the launch of the "Emergency Coalition for the Financial Sustainability of the Palestinian Authority," providing Saudi Arabia with support amounting to $90 million. Additionally, the significant influence exerted by the Crown Prince on U.S. President Donald Trump to accept the Saudi roadmap and integrate it with the American proposal to stop the war in Gaza and achieve a comprehensive settlement indicates that the Kingdom has become an international pole leading the world towards peace on complex issues. Saudi Arabia is "worthy of trust," as stated by French President Macron.
This historic diplomatic victory for the Kingdom coincides with the 95th Saudi National Day, whose identity was "Our Pride is in Our Nature," which came as a sincere expression of the characteristics that define the Kingdom, its leadership, and its people, including authenticity, generosity, ambition, and the ability to achieve dreams with dignity and self-confidence, as well as the potential to achieve leadership and success at all levels.
