Bukhari’s remarks came after Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, described King Salman as a terrorist.
He accused Saudi Arabia of importing Islamic extremists during a speech on TV earlier this week.
The two sides have been at loggerheads after the Saudis intervened to prop up the Yemeni government against Iran-backed rebels in 2015.
