الملخص EN

The research dealt with the Saudi-British Treaty of Friendship (Treaty of Jeddah) in 1345 AH / 1927AD between the Kingdom of Hejaz and Najd and its annexes and the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The research began with an introduction and then an introduction to King Abdulaziz's relations with Britain since his entry into Riyadh until he was able to annex the Hijaz, and the tension and attraction that accompanied this relationship during that period ended with the signing of the Dareen Treaty in 1333 AH / 1915 CE, then the outbreak of the events of the First World War and King Abdulaziz standing on neutrality during that period.

That war, and after its end, he managed to annex the Hijaz in 1344 AH / 1926 CE and signed treaties to define the boundaries between the areas under his rule and the areas under British influence in the region.

Then the paper deals with the development of events prior to the Treaty of Jeddah, where King Abdulaziz managed to annex the Hijaz and obtained international recognition for this annexation, and his influence encompassed most of the regions of the Arabian Peninsula, and therefore the need became urgent to cancel the Dareen Treaty and sign an alternative treaty.

After that, the discussion dealt with the reasons that led both the Saudi and British parties to sign the Jeddah Treaty, especially with regard to the change of King Abdulaziz's position in the Arabian Peninsula.

This corresponds to the British government's fear of its reserves in the region.

The discussion then details the negotiations that took place between King Abdulaziz and the British negotiator, Gordon, who presented a draft of the terms of the treaty, and King Abdulaziz's objection to many of the points included in the draft, which led to the suspension of negotiations, but the British government sent another negotiator, Gilbert Clayton, who understood King Abdulaziz's objections.

The two parties managed to reach a compromise formula that resulted in the signing of the Jeddah Treaty After that, the research clarifies the advantages of the treaty and its results on the Saudi and British sides, and then the reactions to the signing of this treaty.

Then the conclusion of the research, sources and references.
