چکیده:
Saudi Arabia's political system has invariably been known as a regime whose partisan activities are prohibited. This has caused the atmosphere of political activities to enter an informal phase. However, the important question is: Considering such an atmosphere, does the role of the opposition and the opposition political groups against the Saudi sovereignty take an increased turn? How is it possible that these groups can exert a pressure on Saudi's political system for gaining concession or political change? To answer this question, one might say that two key uncertainties come to matter for this take place on the part of the opposition: namely, support or lack of support on the part of foreign actors, and the internal political stability and its relationship with four aspects, namely the intraterritorial opposition withing the sovereignty, the intraterritorial opposition outside the sovereignty, the extraterritorial opposition within the sovereignty, and the extraterritorial opposition outside the sovereignty. On this basis, the research tries to study the role of opposition forces, groups and parties in the form of alternative futures as well as to examine scenarios.

ـ Intra-border extra-sovereign oppositions The harsh treatment of the Saudi government from the beginning until now and the lack of a history of specific partisan activity in this country has caused that powerful partisan forces, whether opposition or even supporters, cannot take shape in Saudi Arabia.
(Al-Rashid, 2018: 129) In total, it must be said that in terms of their field of work, these oppositions are mainly active in the political sphere; because due to the rentier nature of the economy, it is difficult for an institution or an individual to achieve a suitable economic position without personal connections or dependence on the Saudi government, especially if they are also outside the Saudi royal family.
In this class are the "Abu Nayyans3," "al-Esayi," "Bin Laden," "Bin Mahfouz5," "El Khereijis6," "Kakis7," "Juffali8," "Rajab9," and the "Silsilah10" families.
Given this sensitivity, Washington always monitors and analyzes several important issues: internal currents in Saudi Arabia that affect the political future of this country, where supporting or not supporting them could be Washington's most important trigger against the Riyadh government; something about which the United States has been very cautious; the second issue is the intra-sovereignty conditions in Saudi Arabia and the monitoring of powerful princes who have the capacity to play an alternative role to the Saudi King or Crown Prince; an issue that has posed the greatest threat to the Saudi government.
