I took that as him wanting them to sort things out directly to each other so he wouldn't feel stuck in the middle and in an awkward situation. He obviously knew that Ali had a problem with Khaled, he didn't want to say that directly to Khaled as it would be gossiping so instead he told Ali that Khaled knew something was off between them, he did that imo so Ali would speak to him and hopefully clear the air
