You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Al Arabiya English''' is the [[English language]] service of the Saudi state-owned [[Al Arabiya|Al-Arabiya News Channel]].

==Foundation and early days==
[[File:Al_Arabiya_English_logo.jpg|right|thumb|Former logo, used until early February 2021.]]
Al-Arabiya English began in 2007 along with [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Urdu]].<ref>[https://www.alarabiya.net/tools/%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9 هذا الموقع يستخدم ملف تعريف الارتباط Cookie] Al Arabiya website. Retrieved 12 December 2022</ref> It carried wire news and selected translated articles from Al Arabiya's main Arabic language news site at first.

From 2019 to 2023, it was edited by Mohammed Alyahya who oversaw a comprehensive restructuring of the operation and a revamp of its website. A number of editors were brought in to manage the service independently, including [[Americans|American]] journalist [[Courtney C. Radsch|Courtney Radsch]] who linked her redundancy to a news piece she ran regarding fatigue levels among pilots and crew of [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates Airlines]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://rsf.org/en/news/laid-implicating-emirates-airlines|title=Laid off for implicating Emirates Airlines ((!))

Abbas,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150509135221/http://www.faisaljabbas.com/ Faisal J. Abbas]</ref> who served as editor between 2012 - 2016 and was most renowned for relaunching the website.

Saudi columnist Mamdouh Almuhaini was appointed as general manager of Al Arabiya Network in October 2019. Before that, he was appointed on 27 September 2017 as the editor-in-chief of all of Al Arabiya's digital platforms, which include the English, Arabic, Urdu and [[Persian language|Persian]] websites.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://english.alarabiya.net/authors/Mamdouh-AlMuhaini.html|title=Mamdouh AlMuhaini Author Page))</ref> He is renowned for managing the [[2016 United States presidential election|coverage of the Donald Trump election]], the [[Qatar diplomatic crisis]] as well as many other various projects((Citation needed|date=January 2021|reason=how many see him as "renowned" (a desirable-adjective) and what are those "many other" subject-matters?)).((Tone inline|date=January 2021|reason="renowned" (which implies the hypothetical people see him in admiration) to how many?

==Relaunch==
On 1 July 2012, Al Arabiya News Channel issued a statement announcing the appointment of Faisal J. Abbas, a ''[[HuffPost|Huffington Post]]'' blogger, Middle East correspondent and former media editor of [[London]]-based daily ''[[Asharq Al Awsat]]'', as editor-in-chief of its English Service.<ref>((cite web|url=https://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/07/01/223849.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2016-09-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919083948/https://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/07/01/223849.html |archive-date=2016-09-19|df=dmy-all))</ref> Commenting on the appointment, Abdul Rahman al-Rashed, then General Manager of the channel said: “Faisal is among the most distinguished young journalists and it is a pleasure to have him on-board to continue taking the website forward.” <ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/faisal-j-abbas-al-arabiya_n_1644315.html|title=Faisal J.

==Criticism==
In 2012, Al Arabiya English published a series of stories which were based on revealing leaked emails belonging to Sherri Jaafari, the daughter of Syria's UN envoy [[Bashar Jaafari]]. The leaked emails showed Sherri requesting an internship with US television host [[Charlie Rose]] in exchange for securing an interview with President Assad. Furthermore, the emails revealed how Sherri worked with NY-based public relations company BLJ to produce a 2011 ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'' magazine feature about [[Asma al-Assad]], the Syrian leader's wife, which labelled her a "rose in the desert" while Syria was undergoing a civil war.<ref>((cite web|title=Al Arabiya obtains new leaked emails of Assad's New York-based media advisor|url=https://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/07/23/227932.html|website=Al Arabiya English|access-date=16 October 2016

Based on this [[op-ed]], the London ''[[The Independent|Independent]]'' journalist [[Robert Fisk]] wrote on 6 March that the column, which was written by Al Arabiya English's editor-in-chief at the time, would not have been published unless it was blessed by the [[Saudi monarchy]].<ref>((cite news|last=Fisk|first=Robert|df=dmy-all
