Emirati businessman Khalaf Al-Habtoor questioned prospects for regional peace and coexistence following statements by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Shehab Wire reported. Al-Habtoor posed sharp questions about the viability of peace efforts, emphasizing that Gaza residents are human beings and asking what meaningful peace could be discussed under such circumstances.
Ben Gvir had called for carrying out dozens of assassinations, according to the report. Al-Habtoor's criticism addressed the fundamental contradiction between stated commitments to peace and the minister's calls for targeted killings in the territory. His remarks underscored tensions over the trajectory of Israeli-Palestinian relations and the compatibility of security-focused rhetoric with diplomatic engagement in the region.
