An Egyptian government magazine hinted that the Deputy Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, cursed at Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi in a closed meeting held in the kingdom.

In its latest issue titled “A stand with our brothers… what does Mohammed Bin Salman want from Egypt?”, Al-Musawar magazine published a violent and unprecedented attack on the deputy crown prince and foreign minister. The magazine said: that “The aspirations of the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman are legitimate, but they must not be at the expense of the dignity and independence of the Egyptian decision.”

“How credible is the recent leak regarding curses and offensive language used by Bin Salman against Egypt and its president in one of the prince’s closed meetings?” asked the magazine.

“Bin Salman’s aspirations are legitimate, but it must be within his historical and geographical limits… there is no need for further explanation,” the article said, according to Bawabat Al-Qahira.
