Prince Salman and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani clashed over the issue of Israel.

The Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, spoke at the opening of the 3rd Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) Summit held in the capital of Qatar, Doha, under the slogan "Sports Diplomacy."

"ISRAEL IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF POWERLESSNESS"

Emir Tamim bin Hamad, stating that "what is happening in Gaza is a collective genocide and an operation to turn this area (by Israel) into an uninhabitable region for the displacement of Palestinians," condemned the ongoing genocide in Gaza since October 7 and called for serious efforts to stop Israel's attacks targeting Lebanon. The Emir of Qatar expressed, "Israel is taking advantage of international powerlessness to expand settlements in the West Bank and sees an opportunity to implement its plan in Lebanon."

THEY ARE AGAINST ATTACKS ON LEBANON

Kuwait's Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah also stated in his speech that the international community has been unable to stop the genocide in Gaza. The Crown Prince emphasized that his country is against attacks on Lebanon and violations of its sovereignty.

SAUDI MINISTER CALLS FOR TWO-STATE SOLUTION

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan appreciated the support of the Asia Cooperation Dialogue countries for a two-state solution and the recognition of the Palestinian state. Bin Farhan pointed out that the attacks and violations in the Middle East hinder international trade and that the region faces many challenges that require the unification of efforts, calling on everyone to support the two-state solution and emphasizing the importance of resolving regional conflicts through peaceful and diplomatic means.

PRINCE SALMAN SAID "I DON'T CARE"

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently made headlines with his statements regarding Israel's attacks on Palestine. In an interview with the U.S.-based magazine The Atlantic, Prince Salman stated that the Palestinian issue does not personally matter to him, saying, "I have a country to think about. Seventy-five percent of my people are younger than me. Many are experiencing this conflict and issue for the first time. This is a major source of concern. Is the Palestinian issue personally important to me? No. But it is important for my people, so I need to ensure that the agreement we sign is meaningful and beneficial." This statement, which drew significant backlash, increased the number of those questioning Saudi Arabia's stance on Palestinian policy.
