The Saudis major goal in the Gaza war is to support their protege - TopicsExpress



          

The Saudis major goal in the Gaza war is to support their protege and ally Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, whom the Saudis helped put in power a year ago and whom they keep in power with billions in economic grants. Riyadh and Cairo now despise the Muslim Brotherhood. Since Hamas is the Palestinian offshoot of the Egyptian Brotherhood, Sisi wants to see it humiliated. This is the major difference between this Gaza war and the last Gaza war in 2012 when the then-Brotherhood controlled government in Cairo supported Hamas. al-monitor/pulse/originals/2014/08/saudi-arabia-gaza-war-egypt-quiet.html#ixzz39iFpF4qT
