JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - DECEMBER 6: (INTERVIEW) Jalal Al Tawil speaks about the role of Britain and France in Palestine in 1936, speaking about the history of the division of the Middle East in 1917, and the Balfour Agreement took events in another direction, so Arab audiences need to understand the fundamentals, that sometimes people aren't aware of what happened before October 7 or even 1948, but that everything started with the Balfour Agreement and the arrival of Jewish refugees to the Promised Land which is shown in the film that British decisions had a great impact, and he says he can see why the box office for the film in Britain and Ireland is so high, because he feels what happened in Ireland is similar to what happened in Palestine; he felt it was an honour to work with the western actors, particularly Billy Howle, they collaborated very well together and that was the first time he felt a British actor wanted to express a feeling he had inside, even if he didn't know that much about the Palestinian cause during the junkets on Day three during The Red Sea International Film Festival 2025 on December 6, 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
