A member of Saudi Arabia's royal family publicly accused the Hamas terror group of attempting to block his country from normalizing relations with Israel, according to a report Thursday.

Prince Turki Al-Faisal issued the stinging criticism in a statement that also faulted Israel, according to Israel's Channel 12, which called it an "extraordinary message" from the former Saudi intelligence chief.

The comments were the first by a senior official in Saudi Arabia to condemn Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks.

"We condemn Hamas for its attempt to prevent normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and condemn Israel for allowing the transfer of funds from Qatar to Hamas in the Gaza Strip," Al-Faisal said, according to Channel 12.

Saudi Arabia reportedly tabled US-backed plans to normalize ties with Israel last week amid the ongoing war between the Jewish state and Hamas, which launched a devastating surprise attack from the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7.

Al-Faisal's mention of fund transfers apparently referred to a Monday report by Reuters that said Qatari aid to Gaza — which is run by Hamas — passed through Israel, citing an unidentified source familiar with the process.

Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem condemns Israeli strike on its church in Gaza

The Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem has called the bombing of its parish in the Gaza Strip a "war crime"

MOSCOW, October 20. /TASS/. /TASS/. The Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem described the bombing of its parish in the Gaza Strip as a "war crime" and blamed Israel for the attack, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem said in a statement on Friday.

"The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem condemns in strictest terms the Israeli air strike that hit the territory of its church in the Gaza City. The Patriarchate emphasizes that the church itself and its auxiliary buildings opened their doors to innocent civilians, particularly women and children, who lost their homes as a result of Israeli air strikes on residential districts that have continued over the past 13 days. Strikes on these facilities constitute a war crime that cannot be ignored," the church said in a statement, posed on its website.

The fact that this news is being released on the 13th day of war during which Gaza is being annihilated tells everything about what the Arab states feel about Hamas. They hate Hamas so much that if Gaza has to be blown to smithereens to destroy Hamas, well, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
 
israel wants to finish this fast as possible to reduce pr impact it seems

they are betting world will forget quickly and they might be right
 
You make a claim, so it is up to you to prove your claim.
We all know that there were less advanced civilizations before greeks.
Moron, who study and graduates in less advanced civilizations

Which Arabs? The broad Arab public, the common man harbors no antipathy for the Palestinian Resistance, quite the contrary. Rulers of Arab regimes with ties to the USA should not be confused with the Arab people at large.
 
The Israeli Army received David armored cars from the USA, review. The US supplied Israel with David armored vehicles. In the United States, David armored vehicles are produced at a joint venture with Israel, Shladot, which makes it possible to purchase them using funds from the American military budget. These armored vehicles have also been purchased by the Israeli Defense Forces for 10 years. David armored vehicles are built on the Toyota Land Cruiser and Toyota Hilux chassis and are available in three and five-door versions. The armored vehicles have STANAG 2 level armor, which provides them with protection from 7.62 mm bullets, as well as from 155 mm high-explosive fragmentation projectiles at a distance of 80 meters. The crew of the vehicle is protected from mines with a charge weight of up to 6 kilograms of TNT. David armored vehicles can be equipped with a remote weapon system and communications and reconnaissance equipment. The car has air conditioning. The total weight of the vehicle is up to 4200 kg, engine power is 148 hp. The armored vehicle is capable of carrying up to 8 people.

That is why I said Arab States and not Arab people. Anyone with a TV (or internet) can see Arab people's opinions and feelings. But the magic is in watching the Arab leader's supreme apathy.
 
US public opinion is actually very pro-Palestinian this time. The MSM is not. But people are fed up with MSM. The Israeli officials statements that showed intent of genocide and their actions have been indefensible. People were rightly disturbed by openly stating they would force Gaza to be without electricity, water, and food, and threatening to bomb aid trucks.

Also calling on 1 million people to leave in 24hours horrified people and people's opinions of Israel has changed. Then the fake stories in the media. And yelling at everyone that interviewed them. They came into this very hot headed and disorganized.


Man you sound like a troll
Commendable. My rough estimate for every one citizen making an overt act like this (or those that protest), there are a 1000 or more that feel the same way. I agree with you that the extreme nature of response has for the first time made US look like its complicit in this by supporting Israel
