Saudi Arabia officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood and several other Islamist groups as terrorist organizations, according to an Interior Ministry statement reported by the state-run Saudi News Agency.

Two days ago, Saudi Arabia and two Arab allies recalled their envoys from Qatar over its support for the Brotherhood. Saudi Arabia views the Islamist organization as a threat because it seeks to bring political Islam to power via the ballot box.
