Saudi Arabia’s crown prince brushed off a festering dispute with Gulf neighbor Qatar as “very trivial,” though one that might drag on for a long time, and claimed the kingdom was succeeding in blocking Iran’s regional ambitions, according to Egyptian media.
Mohammed Bin Salman, in an interview with newspaper editors in Cairo this week, also accused the Muslim Brotherhood of exploiting democracy in the region and said Turkey, its patron, was trying to revive a caliphate, the Al-Shorouk daily reported. Both Saudi Arabia and Egypt have designated the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
