Brotherhood-aligned journalist Sami Kamal al-Din leaked a controversial story that has invited a heated debate among Arab political circles. The video accuses Saudi Arabia of conspiratorially planning a political comeback of the Muslim Brotherhood via the top-level security discussions with Egypt. Although not all the allegations are explicitly approved, the story indicates a dramatic change in regional alliances and the calculation of power.
As it was leaked, the said meeting included the top Egyptian security officials and the heads of various Muslim Brotherhood groups. It was claimed that this meeting was organised and approved by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and logistics were coordinated with Turkish and Saudi participants. Not reconciliation, the speaker asserts, but the re-establishment of the Brotherhood to become the centre of regional political life.
Alleged Political Repositioning
In the leak, it is mentioned that an agreement was proposed, which is very unlike the previously discussed reconciliation thoughts, whereby the Brotherhood would abandon the political arena. Rather, active political engagement is reported to be offered by the new framework.
According to the so-called draft deal, there would be new political parties, the Brotherhood branches, in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Syria. Such parties would first address social and service-oriented roles, but not direct control in the institution. The release of a high number of detainees associated with the organisation is also a significant aspect of the proposal.
In their turn, the Brotherhood would be politically allied with Saudi Arabia and the Egyptian government and be opposed to the United Arab Emirates. The speaker puts this in the context of a larger Saudi-UAE competition, saying that Abu Dhabi has been a long-time enemy of the Brotherhood.
Wider Regional Implications
The alleged deal is also connected with the video to a greater reshuffling of geopolitics. It alleges that any change in the media rhetoric of the Brotherhood in Saudi Arabia and Egypt may be an indicator of alignment in the future. The speaker states that he hopes that the tensions will not have a military character, but a diplomatic one, because there is unconfirmed news of border unrest between Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Outside of the Brotherhood wrangle, the leak also links these events with the Gaza, Hamas and the development of an international so-called peace council, which allegedly is part of the U.S. strategy in the area. These assertions imply that there is more restructuring of the political balances in the Middle East, but these are speculative and not proven.
According to the critics, the leakage is just one of the stories in a very polarised setting, and neither government has yet made any remark on such an agreement.
