Over the past two years, Saudi Arabia has been trying to play a very active role in Arab politics. In recent weeks, this role has become even more visible and more aggressive. Last week, on two different occasions, Saudi Arabia went as far as to challenge its international ally — the US — over the crisis in Egypt. In a rare public foreign-policy statement read out last Friday on Saudi television, King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz declared that what was happening in Egypt was an Arab affair. “Let it be known to those who interfered in Egypt’s internal affairs that they themselves are fanning the fire of sedition and are promoting the terrorism which they call for fighting,” he declared, without mentioning any country by name."
