Iraqi author and political commentator Ghaith Al-Tamimi, who resides in the UK, engaged in a heated debate on Sky News Arabia's "The Hard Question" program, expressing strong pro-Israel sentiments that visibly shocked the anchor.
Al-Tamimi, known for his anti-terror regime stances in the Middle East, openly supported Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the State of Israel in a manner described as highly aggressive for Arab media. When the anchor questioned his support for Netanyahu, Al-Tamimi responded emphatically, stating he applauded Netanyahu's UN speech, calling him a true leader willing to risk everything to protect his people.
He challenged traditional Arab narratives, dismissing the Palestinian "occupation" as an illusion fueling division and destruction. Al-Tamimi also asserted that Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, not Israel, bears sole responsibility for the safety of terrorists in Gaza.
Concluding his remarks, Al-Tamimi declared, "Our interests are with Israel! We have no interest with Abbas. This is the Arab truth."
