On Sunday, Saudi Security Forces held a parade in the city of Mecca as part of preparations for a major religious holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities said millions of Muslim\u2019s visited Mecca for Hajj celebrations, but only vaccinated or immunized worshippers were allowed to attend public events. Officials said the nation is prepared to address any potential security challenges.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cBy having these security forces and all military forces participating here today, we affirm our readiness to serve the guests of God,\u201d said the Ministry of Interior spokesman Talal Al-Shalhoub. \u201cWe are ready to implement the orders to preserve security and safety of the pilgrims in the state. This parade reflects the efforts of the king\u2019s government towards the importance of holding the pilgrimage rituals safely and in peace.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">At the Grand Hajj Symposium 2022 representing Pakistan in the Holy land of Makkah Mukarrama. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QLt4w3Htp0\">pic.twitter.com\/QLt4w3Htp0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shoaib100mph\/status\/1543593999889489922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crowd of pilgrims in the Mataaf increases, few days left for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/hajj?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#hajj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3sSr9TSg3L\">pic.twitter.com\/3sSr9TSg3L<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Holy Mosque&#8217;s (@theholymosques) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theholymosques\/status\/1541450157417320448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>President Joe Biden said Thursday he will not directly ask Saudi Arabia\u2019s leaders to increase oil production when he visits the kingdom.
