	Dossier: Crown Prince Abdullah (January 2004)
		On the basis of his strong tribal ties, in 1962 Abdullah was appointed head of the National Guard, a direct descendant of the Ikhwan, the tribal army that served the kingdom's founder (and Abdullah's father) Abdel Aziz bin Saud in his early twentieth century conquest of the Arabian Peninsula.
		Abdullah made no effort to sever this defense alliance, but to assuage the Islamists and the skeptical public (and in keeping with his own convictions), he refused in 2003 to allow the United States to wage war on Iraq from Saudi soil (keeping with the policy established during the Afghan conflict).
		Abdullah, like his predecessors, allowed this angst to grow, but as Israeli-Palestinian violence increased in 2001 and 2002, the Saudi regime was willing to dispense with this policy of benign neglect and forward a peace proposal.

	Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
		Crown Prince Abdullah has no full brothers, which makes his position potentially weaker than that of the powerful Sudairi Seven, but also distances him from unpopular conduct by other ruling family members and enables him to form his own alliances with other half-brothers among the sons of Ibn Saud.
		Abdullah is considered the leader of the Shammar branch of the Al Saud, a rival source of power to the Sudairi branch that dominated the regular armed forces.
		Crown Prince Abdallah's mother is a member of the Rashid clan of Shammar tribe.

		Despite its casual dinner-table origins, Crown Prince Abdullah's proposal was a canny intervention, right down to the choice of Friedman — one of Saudi Arabia's most persistent critics in the U.S. media since September 11 — as his messenger.
		Crown Prince Abdullah's intervention appears to signal that the price of such support will be renewed efforts to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
		Instead of waiting for the Bush administration to restart political negotiations, Crown Prince Abdullah has stepped into the vacuum by restating the simple proposition that there'll be no long-term peace while Israeli soldiers and settlers continue to occupy the bulk of the Palestinian territory captured in 1967.

		Abdullah at least appears to actually want to resolve the conflict, even if his motivation is partly self-interested.
