Influential Algerian cleric, and the second in the Islamic Salvation Front, Ali Belhadj criticized Saudi Arabia and Kingdom’s silence on Israel’s attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque, saying:
The disaster comes from the Saudi regime, who uses the Saudi supreme clerics to prevent the protests against the Israeli violations of the Al-Aqsa in Palestine.
Ali Belhadj’s attack can only be described as a direct call to sedition in the State, targeting the Saudi society … He reduces the reaction with demonstrations, which indicates the lack of political maturity
The Saudi mouthpiece Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, under the title “Belhadj the leader of the extremists” wrote the following:
Belhadj, not only to bring devastation to Algeria, but he wants to bring his destruction “success” to the rest of the Arab region.
The answer to Belhadj call came from op-ed on Al-Quds Al-Arabi, written by Abd Al-Bari Attwan:
Most of the religious clerics in the Muslim world reacted [on the Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa mosque], but it is noteworthy that their counterparts in Saudi Arabia did not issue a single fatwa to support the defenders of the holy sites …
The interesting part of Attwan’s article is:
The Saudi King must withdraw the Arab peace initiative and implement the promises he made during the Kuwait Economic Summit, that this initiative will not remain forever.
Attawan’s call received a reaction from GCC clerics, released a statement stresses on the non-validity of the Arab peace initiative, saying:
It is the duty of the Arab and Muslim Governments to take the religious, political, and historical responsibility. Our governments are able to do a lot, with the use of political, economic and diplomatic pressure. The interests of U.S. and Europe with the Arab and Muslim countries are more than with the Zionists and Jews.
