UK ambassador to Saudi Arabia John Jenkins has completed his report on the Muslim Brotherhood, commissioned by the UK government in March, but its conclusions are uncomfortable for Number 10 and its Gulf allies, especially the UAE. A UK Foreign Office source told GSN that, after exhaustive enquiries, the “scholarly” Jenkins found the Brotherhood should not be proscribed as a terrorist organisation and that its members are generally not involved in terrorist activity. The source said former foreign secretary William Hague had been reluctant to produce the report in the first place, fearing the damage to bilateral relations with Gulf friends.
