"We condemn recent remarks made by Mohammed Bin Salman about Palestine. While Israel massacres the Palestinian people, some Arab countries are thinking about having a relationship with Israel. The support that Arab rulers give to Israel is a betrayal to the blood of Muslims, Islamic Ummah, the Holly Quran and the tradition of God's messenger ( Rasul Allah)",said Golzar Ahmad Naiemi who is the leader of Jama'at –Ahl-Haram in Pakistan.
" To me, the recognition of Israel by Mohammed Bin Salman is a tragedy. The recognition was made while the oppressed people of Palestine are brutally massacred. Mohammed Bin Salman talks about allowing the Israelis to live in the Palestinian lands. It is against the reality which says the Israelis do not belong to the land (Palestine). They(Israelis) are killing the real owners of the land in Palestine ", said Saqeb Akbar, Vice-President of National Solidarity Council of Pakistan.
