Messages
Al-Khulaifi pointed out that any force working to escalate and worsen the situation in this “conflict” will complicate mediation efforts aimed at finding a solution to the issue, so Qatar worked to convey this message clearly, “as we communicated with a large number of regional countries, because coordination is extremely important instead of escalating the situation.” .

Global deficit
As for former Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Al-Orabi, he said in a statement to Tel Aviv Tribune Net, “We are facing a major crisis that the world stands helpless in the face of, and the global system has become the subject of questions and skepticism about its effectiveness and feasibility.” Stressing at the same time that the solution to this crisis has two parts, one global and the other regional.
He added that the regional solution is the basis, and from it we move to the global one, but at the present time we find that the global solution is not available, but rather places obstacles and restrictions in front of any solutions, pointing out that the current crisis will have many negative repercussions during the coming period in terms of reconsidering relations. The international system, its formation, and the efficiency of the multilateral global system that everyone adheres to.
