DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—Saudi Arabia’s King Salman issued a wide-ranging overhaul of top government posts on Dec. 27, including naming a new foreign minister.
He also ordered a shakeup of the kingdom’s supreme council that oversees matters related to security. The council is headed by the king’s son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose powers including roles as deputy prime minister and defense minister, were untouched in the overhaul.
