This is incitement wrapped in religious language. It deserves firm and public condemnation. When a senior Saudi cleric signals support for another October 7-style attack, the message travels far beyond a sermon or a lecture hall. Such rhetoric legitimizes violence in the minds of those already vulnerable to extremist narratives. Responsible religious authority carries the duty to calm tensions, protect civilian life, and elevate ethical discourse. Sheikh Saad Al-Shathri holds positions of significant influence. He is a member of the Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia, a minister-rank advisor at the Royal Court, a faculty member at King Saud University, and one of the eight preachers entrusted to deliver the Arafah sermon during the Saudi era. Words delivered from platforms of this magnitude shape perceptions across regions and audiences. Describing Israel as an “entity planted by the USA” and invoking the language of renewed attacks feeds a dangerous ecosystem of antisemitism and mobilization. This rhetoric erodes stability, inflames tensions, and empowers the very forces that responsible leadership across the region has worked to contain. Incitement to violence and antisemitic agitation violate the basic norms expected by international partners in Europe and the United States. Public figures who engage in such rhetoric invite scrutiny regarding their access to Western platforms and travel privileges. Condemning this language is a matter of principle and security. Clear accountability, firm rejection of extremist incitement, and sustained pressure against voices that promote violence remain essential for any serious path toward regional stability and durable peace.
