There is no tension between Cairo and Riyadh over the Tiran and Sanafir islands, and the demarcation agreement does not entail Egypt giving up any of its land, Deputy Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman said yesterday in an interview with a Saudi channel (runtime 1:22). According to bin Salman, Egypt and Saudi Arabia each have documents confirming that the islands belong to the kingdom. Lawyer Khaled Ali was quick to reject bin Salman’s statement and maintain the islands belong to Egypt, Al Masry Al Youm reports.
