In early 2015, the late Saud al-Faisal, as the Kingdom’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, delivered an ambiguous diplomatic address in which he said, “We do not have any problem with the Muslim Brotherhood. Our problem is only with a small group affiliated with this organization. They are the ones who bow their heads in homage to the Supreme Guide.” This statement came nearly a year after the Muslim Brotherhood was classified as a terrorist organization by the Saudi Kingdom. In sharp contrast, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated that the harmonious period between the Brotherhood and the Kingdom has ended.
(The journalists is/was a Muslim Brotherhood leader.)
Ever since the start of the unrest in Syria, in March 2011, the Muslim Brotherhood has been identified as a leader of the campaign to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. In truth, the Syrian president himself had a hand in the efforts to highlight the Brotherhood’s role in organizing the violence and even blamed it for acts of terrorism against the Syrian people.

The Muslim Brotherhood are considered terrorists by the Saudis and they call the Saudis terrorists. Same with Egypt.
Thank you for this clear understanding! It now makes much more sense. Appreciate your work.
