Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) broadcast Hisham al-Husseini saying any party that responds to what he called Saudi aggression and embarrasses the government must be dealt with as outside the law, and that the state alone holds the right to respond

On the programme "Siyasi al-Ab'ad", Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) carried Hisham al-Husseini, deputy head of the Academy for Political Development and Good Governance, saying that any party attempting to respond to "the Saudi aggression" in a way that embarrasses the government must be dealt with as outside the law, and that the state is the party that owns the right to respond, with no single party able to monopolise it. The remarks were posted at 01:39 on 3 August 2026. The rung is held to what a single channel broadcast: the statement itself is directly quoted and on-screen, but no other channel in the collected window carried it and no supporting or contradicting outside coverage of the Saudi episode it refers to is in hand.
