Kuwaiti initiative to support Abu al-Saad receives reaction
Kuwait - Saba: The initiative of Kuwaiti businessman Abdullah Al-Dabbous received widespread interaction on social media platforms after he offered a job to Moroccan engineer Ibtihal Abu Al-Saad, who was fired from the American company Microsoft for expressing her solidarity with the victims of the genocide in Gaza. Al-Dabbous wrote on the X platform, "We tried to contact engineer Ibtihal Abu Al-Saad to make a job offer, but we found that her LinkedIn account had been deleted." He added sarcastically, "This is not surprising, as LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft." Activists considered this initiative "a noble stance that reflects Arab chivalry and a practical vindication of the efforts to silence voices supporting Palestine." Others emphasized that "this is not strange for Kuwait, which has always expressed its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and stood by all who champion the truth and defend justice." Former Kuwaiti MP Osama Al-Shaheen commented, saying, "A noble Muslim businessman from dear Kuwait. Salute to your generous initiative towards a worthy cause and a courageous heroine." In the same context, organizational development expert Muhammad Tahami said, "The resignation of engineer Ibtihal was not just news, but a glimmer of human dignity that broke through the wall of silence in a digital world steeped in cold calculations." He added to Quds Press on Wednesday, "She was fired because she spoke the truth and stood with Palestine. Not only did she lose her job, but she paid the price for her moral stance." A video clip has gone viral showing Microsoft employee Abu Al-Saad interrupting a speech by the company's CEO of Artificial Intelligence, Mustafa Suleiman, during the company's 50th anniversary celebration. In an unexpected moment, Ibtihal explicitly protested Microsoft's support for the Israeli occupation army in its aggression against the Gaza Strip, accusing Suleiman of complicity in this war.
