The former Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hamad bin Jassim, spoke of his phone being monitored for years.

Commenting on the eruption of the scandal of spying on thousands of phones behind by the “Pegasus” company of the Israeli “NSO” group, which deals with the UAE, Ibn Jassim said: “What is reported by the news and officials in many countries are talking about is about spying systems that have spread in our region in particular, and in In other areas, this raises many questions.”

He added: “This is because countries, as we all know, must monitor and follow up on what affects their security at various economic and social levels and threatens the country’s sovereignty and the privacy of its citizens through responsible agencies and under the supervision of honest and trusted people.”

He continued: “But what is deeply regrettable is that these espionage systems are being used by some countries, especially in our region, for other purposes that deviate from everything I mentioned, and they are not used by reckless teenagers, but rather they are unleashed by minds in positions of responsibility, so they violate people’s privacy, and allow what is forbidden. God, and they destabilize the security and interests of their countries in order to realize the malicious schemes they are using, as reckless teenagers do!”

And he added: “We know that the citizen in our region, when he falls victim to spying devices and those who operate them, whether from inside or outside the country, cannot complain and protect his rights in the absence of legal responsibility and an impartial judiciary, which can enforce cybercrime laws when it discovers and knows its perpetrators at their various levels. “.

He added: “When these crimes are discovered by countries outside our region that can hold the criminal accountable, there is no hope for the victims of the citizens of our region that one of them will complain because the defendant is originally the owner of the espionage system, unless he holds the nationality of another country that respects and implements the law.”

And he continued: “I am saying all this and I have known for years that my phone is being monitored by those who are snooping, but I did not mention that because I do not care in light of the sad situation we are in in the region, which I do not wish for, nor do I hope from the beginning except reform in this area.” .
