* After announcing the death of the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, all eyes are on the Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

 - Article 4 of the constitution and Article 1 of the emirate inheritance law stipulate that “Kuwait is a hereditary emirate in the descendants of Mubarak Al-Sabah,” while Article 4 of the emirate inheritance law states that “if the position of the Emir becomes vacant, the Crown Prince shall be called an Emir.”

 During the following lines, we shed light on the most important information available on Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah:

 - Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah is the half-brother of the late Emir Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and the sixth son of the tenth Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (who ruled Kuwait between 1921-1950)

 And assuming the position of Crown Prince 14 years ago, as the Emir issued a decision recommending him on February 7, 2006, that is, a week after the Emir assumed power, and members of Parliament pledged allegiance to him in a special session as stipulated in the country's constitution.

 * Sheikh Nawwaf was born on June 25, 1937 in Fareej Al-Shuyoukh (now the site of Al-Muthanna Complex) in Kuwait City, according to the official website of the Crown Prince's Court.

 * Sheikh Nawwaf held several political and ministerial positions, starting with his work as governor of Hawalli since 1962 for sixteen years, then Minister of Interior in 1978, and Minister of Defense in 1988.

 * Upon the formation of the first Kuwaiti government after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, Sheikh Nawwaf was assigned to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, then he became deputy chief of the National Guard in 1994, before assuming the position of Minister of Interior again in 2003 until he was recommended as Crown Prince in 2006.

 * The Crown Prince had assigned him some of the prince's duties after he left for treatment in the United States about two months ago.

 * His CV on the Diwan of the Crown Prince website indicates that he studied in various Kuwaiti schools and that he is married and has four sons and a daughter.

 * It is expected that the file of foreign relations will be among the top priorities of the new Emir of the country, as the death of the Emir of Kuwait comes at a time when the Gulf region is witnessing major changes, as the Gulf crisis has been going on for more than three years, and Kuwait and the Sultanate of Oman have not joined Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the Emirates.  In the boycott of Qatar, Kuwait also did not join Bahrain and the UAE in normalizing relations with Israel.  The region is also witnessing increasing tension in relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
