went to United States and, you know, encouraging them to bomb this country or to support this group or to that group.
We've been always in our dialogues with United States about how we de-escalate the region, how we bring peace to the region.
And this peace cannot happen without an engagement with everyone in the region.
Well, it's, uh, I don't know if there is, I don't know if, you know, if, if any of the actions that's been like, or many of the actions that's been taken, been justified or rationalized, or even like where ethical actions, but in a principle, even
You have a mediator.
The concept of mediation is like a safe place for the conflicted parties to achieve a deal, to end wars and to end conflicts.
And to have the mediator being bombed by one of the parties of the conflict, this has been unprecedented.
And I have said that many times.
Uh, uh, that this is, you know, it's not only an unethical move.
It's, uh, it's just, you know, throwing everything like, you know, against the wall, like throwing the international law, throwing the respect of the sovereignty of any other country beside, uh, you know, uh, ethically, it's not, it's not really acceptable or no one can swallow it.
Well, of course, uh, president Trump has, has took, uh, was very clear from the beginning since the attack, uh, actually when, uh, when he was informed about the attack, he assigned one of, uh, his advisors to reach out to us.
And at the same time, he called his Highness after the attack and, uh, he expressed his, uh, like his frustration, his disappointment.
from such a thing that's happening by Israel because he knows everything about the process and he knows how helpful we were throughout this process.
And this kind of move was shocking for him as a partner in these efforts and these endeavors to achieve peace in Gaza.
And at that time, actually, when the strike happened,
It was happening while we were trying to convince Hamas to accept the offer was made by President Trump at that time.
To convince them to engage, to convince them to get a deal before the 20 points being developed when the attack happened.
He called us right away.
His advisors reached out to us.
They reached out to us just a couple of minutes before the attack, which was like the attack was already happening.
