The statements of former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki Al-Faisal about the “events in Gaza and Israel” during his participation in the Manama Dialogue in Bahrain on Saturday topped social media sites.

Al-Faisal said during his speech: “I categorically condemn Hamas’ targeting of civilian targets. I condemn it for providing an excuse for this hateful government to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its residents and completely destroy them. I condemn it for undermining the Palestinian Authority, and I condemn it for sabotaging Saudi Arabia’s attempt to reach a peaceful solution for the Palestinian people. But equally, I condemn Israel’s indiscriminate bombing” of innocent civilians, I condemn Western politicians for crying when Israelis are killed by Palestinians and refusing to even express sadness when Israelis kill Palestinians.

 He believed that "this war is a turning point in the process of serious search for a just solution to the Palestinian issue that deals with the roots of this conflict."
