You can hear his thoughts

First when the reporter asks the question "dear god please no"

And then when he answers "for fuck's sake"

I have nowhere near enough knowledge about Saudi Arabia to answer that, but I posted it in part because I was wondering the same.

Two detained in Saudi Arabia for publicly praying for Gaza

A sheikh of Algerian origin was detained by police in Madinah, Saudi Arabia for reportedly praying for Palestine and its people.

The sheikh states that he did not make the call and prayer on video but only shared with people that he had prayed for Palestinians in the land of the two holy mosques for Muslims.

"I consider it an honour that I was detained in the city of the messenger of Allah. Is it a crime to pray for the weak, and the oppressed, as hospitals and mosques are destroyed? Little children were killed and slaughtered. Doesn’t this require us to pray? We pray in the most honourable places. Is it dangerous?" asks the sheikh as he cautions people to keep their prayers between themselves and their God.

It's apparently not the only instance of this, either.

I just went through the exact same thing, through the exact same websites, and also ended up only finding that single photo. "releases photo and video", both of them, and both of them not showing shit, what the hell. I didn't look for very long though.

I believe this sketch posted by another user may be a parody of the original video.

Be aware: at this point Macron is literally free wheeling and after dismantling the diplomats' corps in france a while back (to replace it with appointed positions US-style where he can name his best corporate friends as "diplomats" - I wish I was kidding), now seem to be applying a YOLO approach to official discourse when it comes to foreign affairs. He'll say one thing in one country and the reverse in the next one. A large part of the foreign ministry department has been in upheaval recently due to this.
