Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrives in Egypt

Saudi Arabia's crown prince arrived in Egypt as he begins his first official trip overseas since assuming the powerful role last June.

Mohammed bin Salman, 33, was greeted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as he disembarked from the plane on Sunday.

After meeting with Egyptian officials during his three-day visit, Prince Mohammed - known as MBS - will head to the United Kingdom before making a final stop in Washington DC.

His visit comes a day after Egypt's top court upheld a deal to transfer two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia. The agreement was first announced during a visit to Cairo in April 2016 by Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, during which he announced a multi-billion-dollar package of investments and soft loans for Egypt.

Following the signing of the deal, widespread protests broke out across Egypt. Opponents of the agreement said it amounted to selling off Egypt's sovereign powers and that it violated the constitution, which bars the surrender of any territory.

Authorities in Riyadh have taken an active interest in Egyptian politics following the overthrow of president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Kuwait have provided billions of dollars in support since Sisi's power grab.

While expressing support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen, Cairo has stopped short of full engagement and has instead settled for a less direct military-support role.

After meeting with Egyptian officials during his three-day visit, Prince Mohammed - known as MBS - will head to the United Kingdom before making a final stop in Washington DC.

I doubt we will get any information about what is discussed, but I bet this visit is critical to the fight against the deep state. There are a lot of corrupt Saudis who were rounded up months ago, and their dealings with American politicians should be shared with us. I hope MbS is bringing a big thumb drive for the president.

[SunkenCiv]

It would be nice to outsource the executions of the traitors to the Saudis -- a wood block and a scimitar, job done.

[silverleaf]

wasnt this the guy who boasted the saudis funded 20% of Hillary’s campaign.
Before someone disappeared that story

[skimbell]

Yeah, or it might have been his brother Mohammed bin Tuna.

[SunkenCiv]

zerohedge isn’t a reliable source, unless you like BS.

However, this is the pic they provide:

That’s clearly not the Crown Prince.

Saudi crown prince shocks Islamists with bold moves in Egypt
By Thomas Lifson

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/03/saudi_crown_prince_shocks_islamists_with_bold_moves_in_egypt_.html

It is hard to overstate the significance of a hugely symbolic move by the reformist crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman (MbS). American media mostly are clueless about religion and lack any understanding of the momentous changes underway in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the full support of the Trump administration. The fact that MbS is reputed to be close to Jared Kushner seals the deal: the mainstream media have little interest in extolling the world-historical transition underway in the nation that is pre-eminent in Sunni Islam, the Guardian of the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina, and which has been the moneybags for radical jihadists for three generations.
