A member of the conference’s Coordinating Committee, Mariam Al-Hajri, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that “the conference is necessary in light of the fact that some Gulf countries are leaning towards complete normalization with Israel and disregarding the blood that was sacrificed for the sake of the Palestinian cause.”
“The conference is recording the position of the Gulf people on normalization and their complete rejection of it.”
