Prince Nayef
Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz, also spelled Naif, ( الأمير نايف بن عبد العزيز آل سعود) (born 1933) is the Second Deputy Prime Minister and long time Minister of Interior of Saudi Arabia. He is a half-brother of King Abdullah. He is one of the six surviving members of the Sudairi Seven and second in line of succession to the Saudi throne.
In March 2009, Nayef became Second Deputy Prime Minister. It caused a rare public split in the royal family. Prince Talal called for clarification in issues of succession. The appointment expands his influence into all corners of Saudi domestic policy and allows him to partake in the development of foreign policy. He is not expected to interfere in economic matters but he may influence the judiciary.
He has chaired many cabinet meetings while Abdullah and Sultan were away for health reasons. Critics say he was behind the cancellation of the nation’s only film festival in summer 2009. In November 2010, he undertook all Hajj-related responsibities. In some government offices, his picture has been added next to Abdullah, Sultan, and Abdul-Aziz.
