Egyptian president became nervous about bin Salman’s behavior and called him a “child”
The Saudi Crown Prince’s visit to Egypt in 2018 was accompanied by Ibn Salman’s strange behavior, which in one episode angered Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
The Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported on the visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in November 2018 and the revelation of his insulting behavior towards Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and al-Sisi’s anger.
The United Arab Emirates’s Ambassador to Egypt, Juma Mubarak al-Jannini, reports in December 2018 in a confidential message to the UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash, about what happened during Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Cairo. . The content of this report, which was written a few weeks after bin Salman’s visit to Egypt, has fallen into the hands of Al-Akhbar newspaper.
According to the UAE ambassador to Egypt, the Saudi government had banned all Egyptian media from covering the trip, stating that only the Saudi state media could cover the trip. The final statement of the trip was also prepared in advance.
Also, all the security teams of the Saudi Crown Prince, including the escort team, were selected from the Saudi Security Organization, and the Egyptian security forces had no right to interfere in this matter. The reason for this level of sensitivity and fear of bin Salman was that just one month had passed since the assassination of “Jamal Khashgechi” at the Saudi consulate in Turkey, and at that time Riyadh was the target of the most severe media and political attacks, and bin Salman tightened security measures for fear of his death.
