Where did Saudi blogger Muhammad Saud go after he built a shabby sukkah for the minister?

5 October 2023   

The disappearance is mysterious.: The Saudi network host, Muhammad Saud, who invited Communications Minister Shlomo Kari to his home in Riyadh for Sukkot - has disappeared. Wall-to-wall joy: What Moshe Leon told the great men of Israel in the Bible? Saud, a resident of Riyadh, who became famous for his enthusiastic support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in recent days invited the Minister of Communications, who is attending a conference in the city, to stay at his home - and even built a sukkah in his honor. Saud was supposed to be interviewed by several media outlets yesterday, but the interviews were canceled because he could not be reached, and in the past 24 hours, Saud has completely disappeared. He last tweeted at 10 a.m. yesterday, a video of Qari praying in the hotel where he is staying - and has been silent since. According to Roy Case of Kan News, it is impossible to say for sure what caused Saud's sudden disappearance and whether he was arrested, but it is possible that the authorities in Riyadh did not take kindly to his recent increased behavior on social media in the context of normalization - and perhaps also his intention to meet with Minister Qari and portray himself as someone who supposedly represents official Saudi Arabia. Saud has become famous in recent years for his support for Israel on social media, especially for the Prime Minister, with whom he even met during his visit to Israel in 2019, a visit that caused a stir.
