Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood Leader Tareq Al-Suwaidan – Banned From U.S. For Terror Links – Urges Muslims In The West: We Watch Your Demonstrations On 'Blessed Al-Jazeera TV' And Expect You To Continue;
Al-Suwaidan emphasized that he does not expect Muslims in Europe to change their regimes or implement Islamic rule. However, he described as "wonderful" the Muslim activism in Western countries, including Europe, America, and Australia. He highlighted the demonstrations in the West on behalf of Palestinians that are broadcast on the "blessed" Al-Jazeera TV, lamenting the lack of such demonstrations in Muslim countries. He added that he expects Muslims to continue demonstrating, pressuring their governments, and providing direct support to their counterparts in Palestine.
Al-Suwaidan was dismissed as the director of the Saudi Al-Risala TV in 2013 after publicly declaring his affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood. Notably, Al-Suwaidan was an unindicted co-conspirator in the case against the Holy Land Foundation for funding Hamas terrorism and has been banned from entering multiple countries, including the United States and Belgium, due to his ties to terrorism and antisemitic views.

"It Is Forbidden To Make Permanent Peace With The Enemies Of Allah... Peace And Normalization Agreements Are Close To Heresy According To Islam"
Tareq Al-Suwaidan: "Check any book talking about Jihad, and you will see that it is prohibited to make permanent peace with the enemies of Allah.
"All Islamic scholars are in agreement that such a thing nullifies the [validity] of Jihad, which must continue until Judgment Day.
"These treacherous peace and normalization agreements are close to heresy – if not full on heresy – according to Islam.

The Pro-Palestine Movement In The West Is "Exceptional", "A Wonderful Thing"; We Watch The Demonstrations On Blessed Al-Jazeera TV
"We do not expect from our brothers and sisters, the Muslims in Europe – with all the wonderful things that they are doing... We do not expect them to change the regimes in those countries, and instill an Islamic rule there. This is a delusion. We should start with ourselves. But the truth is that what we are seeing of this movement in the West – in Europe, America, Australia, and other Western countries – is a wonderful thing. We watch the blessed Al-Jazeera TV, and we see that all the demonstrations are in Europe, Australian, and America. Our own countries are silent. That movement is exceptional.

"We Expect [Protesters In The West] To Continue To Demonstrate, To Exert Pressure On Their Regimes... And To Provide Direct Support To Your Brothers And Sisters In Palestine"
"We expect them to continue to demonstrate, to exert pressure on their regimes, to make people aware [of the situation], and to provide direct support to your brothers and sisters in Palestine. Continue to deliver aid to Palestine, because most of our routes have been blocked. We expect you to continue. There are wonderful organizations among the Islamic minorities in the West. You should support these organizations."

Former Palestinian PM Mohammad Shtayyeh: October 7 Was A Courageous Historic Operation, But It Was Miscalculated; Hamas Did Not Take Into Consideration The Citizens Of Gaza; We Invite Hamas To Join Th
Former Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said in a July 29, 2025 interview on the Mazeej Podcast by Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that Hamas's October 7, 2023 invasion and massacres in southern Israel were a "courageous" and "unprecedented" operation that were an "important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle," but that its ultimate result should also be inspected. He said that this "adventure" should have taken consequences into consideration, and he criticized Hamas for not having taken the citizens of Gaza into consideration, explaining that October 7 was "miscalculated." Later in the interview, he said that the PLO wants to reach an agreement with Hamas about the Palestinians' ultimate goals, and that the Palestinians should be united in peace and in war under the leadership of the sole representative of the Palestinian people, the PLO. He added that Hamas is welcome to become part of the PLO and to change its political platform from within. Mohammad Shtayyeh: "October 7 was a courageous and unprecedented operation. Honestly. It is an important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle. [...] "But I also say that we should look at where it led things. No person in the world goes on a [reckless] adventure and just jumps in the void, because if you jumped into the void, you'd fall on the ground and break your neck. Any adventure should take into consideration the consequences, because even if Hamas was prepared to protect its members in the tunnels – as brother [Musa] Abu Marzouk stated – it had taken no consideration for the [Gaza] citizens. Therefore, I can say, in one sentence, that October 7 was miscalculated. [...] "We want to reach an agreement [with Hamas] about our goals. Do we want a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders? Do we want to liberate all the land? Do we want a state 'from the River to the Sea?' We want to reach an agreement. "Then, we need to agree on the way to achieve this goal. It can't be that one side is making peace [with Israel] on its own, and the other side is going to war by itself. United we go to peace, and united we go to war, under the banner of the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, which is the PLO. [...] "We are not asking for anything from Hamas. We are not asking them to recognize Israel, or anything. All we are asking Hamas is to join the PLO. [...] "Hamas is welcome to become a part of the PLO, and change its political platform from within."

Editor Of Saudi Daily Warns Hamas Not To Refuse To Disarm And Cede Power In Gaza
In an August 4, 2025 article in the Saudi government daily Al-Jazirah, the daily's editor-in-chief, Khalid Bin Hamad Al-Malik, slammed Hamas for refusing to disarm and cede power in Gaza Strip, as advocated in the concluding statement of the international conference for advancing the two-state solution, held in New York on July 28-30, 2025 under the sponsorship of Saudi Arabia and France.[1] Hamas's position, he wrote, may lead to losing an opportunity and stopping the current momentum in the world for recognizing a Palestinian state and implementing the two-state solution. He urges Hamas to act responsibly, cede power in the Strip to the Palestinian Authority, and prefer the establishment of a Palestinian state over endless bloodshed. Rejectionism, he warns, will only play into the hands of Israel and the U.S., which themselves reject the two-state solution, and will give them an excuse to stick to that position. Khalid Bin Hamad Al-Malik (Image: The following are translated excerpts from Al-Malik's article:[2] "The U.S. and Israel rejected the conference on the two-state solution and its resolutions, and Hamas responded to the conference by refusing to surrender its weapons… By taking this position, Hamas is making a historic mistake and missing [the chance] to leverage the world's recognition of a Palestinian state and the momentum that has revived the Palestinian cause. "Hamas knows that the events of October 7, 2023 harmed the Palestinian cause and the dream of establishing a Palestinian state more than they helped them. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed, over 100,000 have been wounded, about 90 percent of the Gaza Strip is in ruins and Israel has occupied large parts of it. In addition, the powers supporting [Hamas], namely Iran and Hizbullah, have been weakened. Another outcome of the October 7 events is that the U.S. and Europe joined the war on Israel's side by [providing it with] the weapons that allowed it to eliminate Hamas's leaders one by one, as well as Hizbullah's leaders and Iran's. After Isael tightened the noose [around Gaza]… and took over all the [border] crossings in order to prevent entry and egress, Hamas was left with nothing to bargain with except for the [Israeli] hostages, which it [agrees to release only in exchange for] an end to the war, [a demand] that is rejected by Israel and the U.S. "While all the wars and bloody conflicts and the many sacrifices have failed to achieve much, there is still a glimmer of hope that the Palestinian issue can be resolved through peaceful means, by getting the Western states to recognize [a Palestinian state]… This initiative [is being promoted] by the [Saudi] kingdom along with France. They organized the conference on the two-state solution, after which, for the very first time in history, Western countries recognized [a Palestinian state] one after the other. In its resolutions this conference stated that Hamas must be disarmed and be excluded from the administration of the [Palestinian] state. "I hope that Hamas's leaders act reasonably and wisely and prefer the establishment of a Palestinian state over [their] wish [to see] the movement continue to fight, which does not serve the Palestinian cause. [I hope] they accept what the [participating] countries agreed on at the conference, and hand the management of the [Gaza] Strip over to a Palestinian element that will act properly by taking what can be taken instead of refusing it, so as to prevent bloodshed and bring peace and stability to all the Palestinians… "I warn Hamas not to refuse [the demands to] surrender its weapons, cede [power] in Gaza and not be part of the management of the [Palestinian] state. If it does [refuse], it will conform to the positions of the U.S. and Israel, who [likewise] oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state. It will torpedo the outcomes of the conference on the two-state solution, just like Washington and Tel Aviv did, and enable them to reject [the establishment of] a Palestinian state by citing the position of Hamas's leaders. "Hamas ceding power in Gaza to the Palestinian Authority until the arrangements for the establishment of a Palestinian state [are completed] – despite all the challenges [this poses] – is the preferred and best way to thwart any excuse and claim that Israel and the U.S. may hide behind in order to oppose the plan of the Palestinian state. We do not want Hamas to be the excuse for thwarting the [Saudi] kingdom's efforts to attain the Palestinians' rights… Hamas is [of course] entitled to demand guarantees that the conference's resolutions will indeed be implemented [as a condition for] doing what is required of it."
