In 2017, Thamer Al-Tamimi, Deputy Chief of the Tribal Mobilization, stated in an interview with Al-Hadath TV that the Sunni leaders in Iraq had despaired of the Arab states and concludedthat relying on these states would not benefit the Sunnis in Iraq, especially since some of these states were using the Sunnis in Iraq as a tool in their struggle for influence in the region with Iran. He confirmed that the Tribal Mobilization had contacted a number of Gulf countries to request support and assistance in confronting the Islamic State, but they did not respond and did not pay any attention, according to him.[4][5]
