The Ottomans, however, sometimes try to expand their influence by supporting renegade members of the Al Saud.

When two of Faisal's sons, Abd Allah and Saud, vied to take over the empire from their father, Abd Allah enlists the aid of the Ottoman governor in Iraq, who uses the opportunity to take Al Qatif and Al Hufuf in eastern Arabia.

The Ottomans eventually are driven out, but until the time of Abd al Aziz they will continue to look for a relationship with the Al Saud that they can exploit.
