Egypt Angry Over The Secret Meeting Between Saudi Crown Prince And Muslim Brotherhood
MEP: Relations between Egypt and Saudi Arabia is getting darker, because Al-Saud support the Muslim Brotherhood.
After disclosing a document that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef visited a senior officials of the Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, the office of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi demanded to expel Saudi Ambassador Ahmed Abdulaziz Qattan from Cairo.
Egyptian daily Al Watan wrote on Monday: “the document states that Nayef has promised officials of the Muslim Brotherhood to help them on the anniversary of the January 25 revolution in Egypt. This has angered Egyptian authorities and Saudi ambassador to Cairo was summoned to the Egypt Foreign Ministry to explain the reason of the meeting between bin Nayef and senior officials of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
“On September 29, 2016 bin Nayef met with officials of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood; The officials who are fleeing and are wanted by the Egyptian judiciary,” Al-Watan wrote.
“Mahmoud Hussein, Jumah Amin, Waleed sharaby, Hamza Zawbaa, Omar Daraj and Ashraf Badr Eddin were the officials who met with bin Nayef in Ankara,” the paper added.
Saudi Foreign Ministry acknowledged tacitly the meeting between Brotherhood officials and bin Nayef in response to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and added if there was such a meeting, it was not aware.
“Bin Nayef said during a meeting with Akhavan leaders that King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud assigned him to help the Muslim Brotherhood on the sixth anniversary of the revolution, January 25, 2011,” the leaked document stated.
“It was deliberate that King Salman refused to meet Abdel Fattah Al Sisi in Abu Dhabi,” Yusuf al-Husseini, Egyptian journalist, wrote on his Facebook page.
“Saudi deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman announced King Salman would meet al-Sisi under two conditions; first Egypt must depose Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry because of his opposition to Saudi Arabia’s policies and second Tiran and Sanafir Islands must be conceded to Saudi Arabia,” al-Husseini added.
