Gaza and Cairo feel winds of change blowing from Saudi Arabia

posted on: Mar 5, 2015

Just one day after the court in Egypt ruled that Hamas – the entire Islamist organization, not just its military arm – is a terrorist group, Hamas asked Saudi Arabia to pressure Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi to revoke the ruling. The request is interesting in particular because Hamas seems to think that the new Saudi king, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, will be willing to listen to the organization, which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood – which Saudi Arabia itself has declared to be a terrorist movement.
