Saudi Arabia's 88-year-old King Salman has been diagnosed with a lung infection and will undergo treatment with antibiotics after falling ill with a fever and joint pain, state media reported early Monday.
King Salman underwent medical examinations at the Royal Clinics at Al Salam Palace in Jeddah, the Red Sea port city, the state-run Saudi Press Agency said.
“It was found that there was a lung infection, and the medical team decided that he — may God protect him — should undergo a treatment program consisting of antibiotics until the infection goes away,” the report said.
It did not elaborate.
In April, the monarch entered a hospital for medical checks and was later discharged.
King Salman took the throne in 2015. He has since elevated his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to be the kingdom’s monarch-in-waiting. The crown prince is widely believed to be running the day-to-day affairs of the kingdom.
DID ISRAEL ASSASSINATE IRAN'S PRESIDENT?
On May 20, 2024, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced that its President, Ebrahim Raisi, and its Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, had died in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran, near the border with Azerbaijan. The investigation into the cause of the crash has only begun, but one question that is certain to be considered is whether the helicopter was brought done by sabotage. This question looms large after Raisi ordered a successful drone and missile attack on Israel, carried out on April 13, 2024. Dimitri Lascaris discusses with Lebanon-based geopolitical analyst, Laith Marouf, the question of whether Israel might have brought down the helicopter in some manner. Also, on May 20, 2024, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, Q.C., announced that he was seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and three senior officials from Hamas. As Lascaris and Marouf discuss, Khan's allegations against Netanyahu and Gallant are extremely limited. Moreover, Khan has packaged his allegations against Netanyahu and Gallant as being less egregious than his allegations against Hamas. - Reporting: Dimitri Lascaris.

ROGUE NATION - IS ISRAEL ABOVE THE LAW?
How can one nation in today’s civilised world still be above the law? How can it ignore the calls of every global institution that represents humanity to cease and desist from the injustices it keeps on carrying out? For three quarters of a century, Israel has turned a blind eye and deaf ears to every instant when it was called out for its violent, unjust and inhumane conduct. But has it respected any such international law that has been passed by unanimity? Not once.
Rogue Nation explores the history of Israel’s behaviour towards the League of Nations and the United Nations through a detailed analysis of the various resolutions from its pre establishment up till the present day; mostly, resolutions passed criticising the Zionist regime of improper conduct. We also examine the shift in Israel’s mindset, from a people that depended greatly on international sentiment, opinion and these same institutions to further its cause in the establishing of its independent and sovereign nation, till the point when the same nation felt entitled and above any international law, empowered by Western governments and their promoted institutions who have lost all integrity and credibility.
