This is precisely why Makkah and Madinah should be sovereign entities, similar to the Vatican, where no single nation can claim them as property or political tool.

Text version for accessibility:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Sham! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen." The People said, "And also on our Najd." He said, "O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Sham (north)! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen." The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! And also on our Najd." I think the third time the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There (in Najd) is the place of earthquakes and afflictions and from there comes out the side of the head of Satan."

(Sahih al-Bukhari 7094)

Najd is a historical region of the Arabian Peninsula that includes most of the central region of Saudi Arabia.
