Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud issued on Tuesday a directive to name the airport road in Madinah after Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The newly named Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road connects the Prophet’s Mosque to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Road, which leads to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport and the Royal Terminal, passing through Rua Al Madinah, the largest hospitality project in the world.

Governor of the Madinah Region and Al Madinah Region Development Authority Board Chairman Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz extended his sincere gratitude the Saudi leadership. He praised Crown Prince Mohammed’s pioneering role in launching national development initiatives and strategic projects that have had a tangible impact across all regions of the Kingdom, including Madinah.

The Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road is a strategic artery in Madinah. Spanning 13 kilometers, it intersects with key main roads, including King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Road (First Ring Road), King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Road (Second Ring Road), and King Khalid bin Abdulaziz Road (Third Ring Road).

Several major development projects are underway along the newly named route, implemented by the Madinah Municipality and Al Madinah Region Development Authority.

Among the most notable is the "Madinah Humanization Program," which focuses on improving vehicle and pedestrian pathways and building facades, aligning with the design guidelines for Saudi architecture to support quality of life and urban landscape enhancement.

The road also boasts the environmental rehabilitation project for Wadi Qanat, one of the region’s most significant historic valleys.

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned on Monday the Israeli cabinet’s approval of measures that aim to deepen Israeli control over the occupied West Bank and weaken the already limited powers of the Palestinian Authority.

The OIC said Israel’s “colonial settlement policy constitutes a war crime and a flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, foremost among which is Security Council Resolution 2334 and the legal opinion issued by the International Court of Justice.”

It renewed its call on the international community, particularly the Security Council, “to shoulder its responsibilities and take immediate action to put an end to all crimes and violations committed by Israel against the Palestinian people, their land, and their holy sites.”

The office of Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in a statement announced the decisions that would make it easier for Jewish settlers to force Palestinians to give up land, adding that “we will continue to bury the idea of a Palestinian state.”

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a statement called the decision “dangerous” and an “open Israeli attempt to legalize settlement expansion” and land confiscation. He called for the United States and UN Security Council to intervene immediately.

The decision was announced a few days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington about Iran and other matters.

The measures announced Sunday include canceling a prohibition on sales of West Bank land to Israeli Jews, declassifying West Bank land registry records to ease land acquisition, transferring construction planning at religious and other sensitive sites in the volatile city of Hebron to Israeli authorities, and allowing Israeli enforcement of environmental and archaeological matters in Palestinian-administered areas.

The measures also would revive a committee that would allow the state of Israel to make “proactive” land purchases in the territory — “a step intended to guarantee land reserves for settlement for generations to come.”
