That Ibn Saud, the leader of the Wahabis, may compel the Arabs of the Sinai Peninsula to join his army and perhaps move towards the frontiers of Palestine is the fear expressed today by the Egyptian press. The same reports, however, state that while a march of the Wahabis towards Akaba is probable, it is not likely that Ibn Saud will attack Egypt.
