Badr Al-Asakir, the director of the Saudi Crown Prince's office, posted a photo of Prince Mohammed bin Salman with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, and UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed. He explained the occasion for the published photo on his Twitter account on Friday, stating it was during a "friendly brotherly meeting in the Red Sea." The three appeared in casual sportswear, wearing shorts and t-shirts or short-sleeved shirts.
On January 5, the final statement of the Gulf Summit in Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia, ended a dispute that erupted in mid-2017 between Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, as well as Egypt, with Qatar. Since then, leaders of these countries have exchanged messages, meetings, and visits on various occasions. The photo sparked widespread interaction on Twitter.
