Dubai United Arab Emirates (CNN)– Former Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim saw that the escalating tension witnessed in the region is the result of what he described as the “marginalization” of the Palestinian issue, and that there are parties, which he did not specify, whose interest it is for the region to continue to suffer.

Sheikh Hamad said, in a tweet via his account on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), that “what is happening now in the region in terms of escalating tension, the latest of which is what we are witnessing today in and around Yemen, is nothing but an inevitable result of marginalizing the Palestinian issue and neglecting the rights of the Palestinian people for more than About 75 years old.

He added: “These policies opened the door, from the beginning, to continuous interventions from external parties to expand the scope of tension in our region to serve their interests. The deficient tactical policies pursued by some parties also contributed to weakening our position, until we became a mere (concierge) or service assistant whose role is to implement policies.” Specific things are asked of him, and he has no point of view or opinion.”

He continued, saying: “Unfortunately, this is our situation today, even though what is happening around us concerns us in the first place. That is why we see the tension in our region rising every day because there are parties whose interest it is for our region to continue to suffer on a hot plate.”

Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim said, “If we had done what we should do, to preserve our interests and worked to extinguish the hell of war that is wiping out the people of Gaza, we would not have reached where we are now, and this requires that we have effective practical policies, not limited to media positions.” Rather, it affects and moves the Arab street.”

He stressed that “the absence of these practical strategic policies is what makes external parties exploit our crises and work to escalate them.” He said: “Although I do not want to self-flagellate, I see that we will gradually be drawn into tensions and military operations under various pretexts that will not serve our countries or our interests, whether in the short or long term, but rather serve others.”

He added: “The result of this is that we have become completely unable to act. Even South Africa was the one that filed a war crimes case once morest Israel at the International Court of Justice, and no Arab party did so. When we are forced to announce a position in support of what South Africa did, we We do this timidly, and we say, “We have no relationship, but rather we were embarrassed and had to,” in a clear justification for whomever we want to justify.

He continued, saying: “The time has come for us to study our situation and rectify our mistakes, especially towards the Palestinian issue. Here I am not talking regarding any Palestinian faction, but I am talking regarding the Palestinian people who were displaced from their homeland, and I support them to regain their rights. I also call for them to be ours.” “Clear and wise views on peace.”

But he stressed, “This matter requires countries arming themselves with strong arguments and solid policies to resolve the Palestinian issue that reflect, at least, our countries’ dissatisfaction with the continued recklessness of some parties to pursue policies biased toward Israel.”
