The debate between Al Jazeera presenter Faisal Qaseem and Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi from 2020 has resurfaced in global media and sparked significant reactions.

Axar.az reports that during the interview, Faisal Qaseem accused Iran of destabilizing the Middle East:

"You want to liberate Jerusalem, but then what will you do with it? Who will you add to the list? The list of hungry people and your destroyed country, Iran? The list of the unfortunate cities in the Middle East? Baghdad, the dirtiest city in the world? Beirut, the world's biggest dump? Damascus, where its people are dying of hunger? The Houthis in Sanaa? Before you came to the region, they were all living peacefully and freely. What have you done to these countries?! What have you done to resource-rich Iran that you can do something for Jerusalem?! You are a handful of treasonous country wreckers!"
