The Saudi actor Nasser Al-Qasabi raised the controversy again, through one of the scenes of his new series, "Exit 7", in which he angered the audience with a dialogue that took place between him and Rashid Al-Shamrani, in which they discussed a model of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Al-Shamrani says - during the dialogue - that he will start commercial cooperation in Israel, and Al-Qasabi denounces the move, saying that they "tell their children that Israel is the enemy, so how do they tell his sons that he will trade with them?"

Al-Shamrani, who presents an opportunist figure, added that "the enemy is not Israel, but he is the one who does not appreciate standing next to him, and he curses day and night more than the Israelis, and that the Saudis entered wars for Palestine, and they carried money and oil, they were more right to it, but they presented it as salaries for the Palestinian Authority And, in the end, when they give them the opportunity, they attack Saudi Arabia, "al-Shamrani said in the scene.

During the same scene, Al-Qasabi responds, rejecting that justification, and confirming that the Palestinians are human beings, including the deluded ones and the conscious ones, and that he does not agree with these words. Just as the Palestinians were displaced, there are those who sold their homes to the Israelis, and just as there are those who confronted the tanks with their chest, “There are Palestinians who build the separation wall.”

Al-Qasabi continued through the scene that they should stand with the truth regardless, because this is the principle, and that it is Israel that fuels hatred and conflicts between Arab peoples. 

Reactions
and this scene sparked a great controversy on social networking sites, as some expressed support for Shamrani's justifications. 

Surprised at some denouncing what the artist # Rashid_ Al-Shamrani said in one of the series,
I see that he had the audacity to say honesty, and
this is rare, and we are
very sorry for what we said, a real reality that cannot be denied.

While others rejected this view, asserting that the Palestinian issue is the cause of all Arabs, and that they are defending their entity as Muslims before defending the Palestinians.

But Muhammad Salameh believes that this matter is a trap prepared literally to measure the satisfaction of the Saudi street with normalization with Israel, and this trap is intended to confirm public opinion that the first enemy is Iran and not Israel.

Do not fall into the trap prepared with malice to change the belief of peoples. Do not draw in your hearts those borders drawn on the ground. They are a test balloon for the Saudi inside to measure the acceptance of the idea of ​​new alliances and a way to fix public opinion about the first enemy is Iran and not the Zionist entity # Rashid_Al Shamrani pic. twitter.com/W71rMO0DUf

Al-Qasabi and the
commission Al-Qasabi usually sets off a host of problems through his dramas, but he ignited the controversy more than once after only showing three episodes, after his mockery of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, when he said in one of the scenes of the series, "These are the first, and they no longer exist ", Which was interpreted by many as a mockery of the body.

This was not the first time that Al-Qasabi was hit by arrows of criticism, as criticism of his previous artistic works has affected him, especially in which he hints at the ridicule of the Commission and the clergy in his series.

Some consider Al-Qasabi to be the mouthpiece of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as he is always tweet praising the policies of change he imposed during recent years, and while Al-Qasabi measures the level of street satisfaction through the series, some singers consider that these roles are not worthy of its history.
