Iraqi-Saudi Relations (1921-1933 AD) Through the Iraqi Newspaper Al-Awqat

Abstract

This research deals with an important period in the history of contemporary Iraq, which is the period of Iraqi-Saudi relations (1921-1931), as Iraq at that time submitted to the authority of the British mandate and was at the beginning of the formation of its national rule on August 23, 1921, as the Saudi authorities, headed by Abdulaziz Al-Saud, tried to incite the eternal hostility between the Hashemite and Saudi families, using the Ikhwan movement as a pretext to incite this hostility, despite all the peace treaties concluded between the two countries, as a force from the Ikhwan, headed by Faisal Al-Duwaish, attacked the Iraqi police stations, and invaded, looted, plundered and shed the blood of the Iraqi tribes residing within the Iraqi borders.
