Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdallah Bou Habib tackled the issue of "What was reported by some media outlets about the existence of audio recordings of a press interview that was scheduled before the current crisis arose last Thursday, October 28, 2021."
"I would like to stress that the goal of this interview was to seek to open the door for dialogue in order to rebuild the ties with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is the goal that I work hard for. I would have hoped that the honorable newspaper would help resolve this crisis instead of publishing fragmented and false narratives that would add fuel to the fire, knowing that we will issue a detailed explanation on the matter,” he said in a statement.
We hope that all media outlets will be a means of reconciliation to bridge the rift and contribute constructively to bringing us together with our Arab brothers and sisters," he added.
