Hubungan Arab Saudi Dan Mesir Pada Masa Pemerintahan Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi Dalam Konflik Suriah
This study aims to examine the relationship between two mutually influential
countries in the Middle East region, namely Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Relations
between the two countries have experienced various dynamics, either as rivals or
allies. Relations between Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which had deteriorated after the fall
of the Hosni Mubarak regime caused by the Arab Spring, recovered after the rise of
Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi to the reins of Egyptian power after the coup of Muhammad
Morsi's government, which incidentally is a figure affiliated with the Muslim
Brotherhood (MB). Saudi Arabia played an important role in the coup carried out by
Al-Sisi, but the relations between the two countries became heated again after the
differences in interests in the Syrian conflict.
This study uses qualitative methods and explanatory analysis with data
collection techniques through literature studies sourced from several books, journals,
articles and websites. This study uses a neo-realist perspective and the theory of
Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) in understanding security dynamics in the
Middle East region after the outbreak of the Syrian Conflict.
The results of this study indicate that the Syrian conflict has created new
dynamics for the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The occurrence of
differences in interests in responding to the Syrian conflict has caused heated relations
between Saudi Arabia and Egypt as evidenced by the negative response given by Saudi
Arabia to Egypt's support for the Bashar Al-Assad regime in Syria. Saudi Arabia wants
the fall of the Assad regime in Syria due to rival interests for regional dominance with
Iran as well as Sunni and Shia ideological rivalries with Iran. While on the other hand,
Egypt wants the Assad regime in Syria to remain stable so that Al-Sisi's power in Egypt
is not threatened by the influence of Islamist and extremist groups such as MB.
