Turkey-based Kuwaiti Islamic scholar and Muslim Brotherhood leader Dr. Tareq Al-Suwaidan discussed the role of Muslims in the West regarding the Palestinian cause during a March 23, 2025 appearance on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar). He stated that it is prohibited for Muslims to make permanent peace with the "enemies of Allah," claiming that such an act nullifies Jihad, which must continue until the Day of Judgement. He described peace or normalization agreements as heresy.

Al-Suwaidan emphasized that he does not expect Muslims in Europe to change their regimes or implement Islamic rule. However, he described as "wonderful" the Muslim activism in Western countries, including Europe, America, and Australia. He highlighted the demonstrations in the West on behalf of Palestinians that are broadcast on the "blessed" Al-Jazeera TV, lamenting the lack of such demonstrations in Muslim countries. He added that he expects Muslims to continue demonstrating, pressuring their governments, and providing direct support to their counterparts in Palestine.

Al-Suwaidan was dismissed as the director of the Saudi Al-Risala TV in 2013 after publicly declaring his affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood. Notably, Al-Suwaidan was an unindicted co-conspirator in the case against the Holy Land Foundation for funding Hamas terrorism and has been banned from entering multiple countries, including the United States and Belgium, due to his ties to terrorism and antisemitic views.
