Gaza has triumphed
The Zionist entity’s submission to Hamas’s conditions to end the war and Benjamin Netanyahu’s forced signing of a ceasefire agreement would not have happened had it not been for the legendary steadfastness of the resistance in the long war of attrition. The resistance has thus triumphed in Gaza over...

A gang is ruling Lebanon
I first used this headline in a 2006 article I wrote for an Egyptian newspaper. Now, I am using it again after watching and following on television the Lebanese Parliament’s session to choose the president of the republic. The position has been vacant for almost two and a half...

Assad’s ouster has caused Arab nationalists to lose their balance
The fall of the tyrant Bashar Al-Assad and the liberation of Syria at the hands of a few faithful men within ten days continues to send shockwaves among secularists and Arab nationalists. They have not yet recovered nearly a month since Assad’s ouster, and are still shocked at the...

Will the new year really bring anything new?
As 2024 prepares to hand over to 2025, it leaves behind many pending conflicts and issues. Problems plague the Arab and Muslim world, largely inherited from previous years. Crises continue to develop and are passed down from one year to another. Dominating the headlines throughout 2024 was the Zionist enemy’s...

The Zionist Emirates are starting to play in Syria, so revolutionaries beware
Public squares across Syria have been filled with people raising the green flag of independence, from the Umayyad Mosque Square in Damascus to Daraa in the south, Aleppo, Hama and Homs in the north and Latakia on the coast. The Syrians have rejoiced in the success of their revolution...

The ouster of tyrant Assad paves the way for Palestine, not the other way round
Last Friday was memorable for millions of Syrians all over the world who celebrated the liberation of their land from the Assad dynasty. Many raised the original flag used in Syria after it was liberated from French occupation. The revolutionaries chose to use it 13 years ago and removed...

The people of Syria are the victors
It is a truly divine victory, and a great joy that no one could have imagined. The rapid developments in Syria over the past few days, and even hours, have seen major cities liberated, one after the other, including Damascus. The news agencies aren’t able to keep up with...

As predicted, the revolution in Syria has reignited
I am no fortune teller and, of course, I do not know the future — only God knows that — but I know how revolutions around the world have progressed through history, from their rise to their fall. “The Syrian revolution exposed the treachery and betrayal of those closest...

Are the ICC arrest warrants the beginning of the end for Zionism?
There is no doubt that the decision by the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant is justified by legal and logical reasons, given the open war crimes and crimes against humanity still being committed in the Gaza Strip. There is also the...

The summit of shame
The late Iraqi poet Muthaffar Al-Nawab described Arab summits thus: “Summits, summits, summits, goats and sheep, with His Majesty the ram, His Highness the sheep, and a donkey, begins the session. Shame on all of those attending, from kings, sheikhs, and servants!” Sadly, he was not wrong in his description,...

Trump is back for revenge
The opinion polls misled the whole world with their deliberate and incorrect predictions that Kamala Harris was closer to the White House than her opponent, Donald Trump. The election results said otherwise, and Trump won, along with the Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate, who won...

The anniversary of the Balfour Declaration sees Gaza burning and collusion by Zionist Arab regimes
The 107th anniversary of infamous Balfour Declaration falls this year while Gaza continues being destroyed: residential buildings, government facilities, schools, hospitals and places of worship, Muslim and Christian, are all being targeted by the Israeli occupation state. The civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip has been decimated. The destruction...

What's next for Palestinian resistance after Sinwar?
When Israel killed Yahya Sinwar, did the occupation state also kill Palestinian resistance, or at least weaken it and diminish the spirit of its fighters? Will the resistance groups surrender to unjust conditions imposed by the Zionist enemy to stop the fighting, which Sinwar refused to accept when he...
-
Sinwar may have been killed, but Israel can’t kill legitimate resistance
Yahya Sinwar was killed by the occupation regime last week, and he is already a hero and a legend across the generations. His example is bound to inspire many others to follow his path of legitimate resistance against the apartheid state for the sake of Allah. Sinwar was martyred on...

As the Israeli genocide enters its second year, what has been achieved?
A year has passed since the start of the brutal and savage Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. It’s been a year of killing and destruction. At least 150,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded, or are missing, presumed dead, under the rubble of their homes and other civilian...

October loves us and we love October
Fifty-one years have passed since the October War, which was a turning point in the history of the Arab people, and a decisive moment in our struggle against the Zionist enemy. It was when we crossed from defeat to victory, and from humiliation to pride. Egyptian soldiers crossed the...
-
Who really killed Hassan Nasrallah?
The Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, went to the US last week and stained the UN General Assembly with his presence after he had already determined with the Mossad and the US intelligence agencies to assassinate the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah. Israeli...
-
Are Hezbollah and Israel and their allies really ready for a full-scale regional war?
The Zionist entity has achieved several successes in Lebanon over the past year, from killing Palestinian Hamas leader Saleh Al-Arouri and Hezbollah official Fuad Shukr, to last week’s pager and walkie-talkie attacks, as well as killing others such as Ibrahim Aqil and Ahmed Wahbi. All of these attacks were...
-
Trump and Harris are hand in hand with the Zionist entity
In the recent debate between the two US presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, a former president and current vice president respectively, the two competed to show their extreme loyalty to the Zionist entity and their unlimited political, military, economic and logistical support for it in its war...

Rapprochement between Egypt and Turkiye should benefit the whole region
Paraphrasing 18th century British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, Winston Churchill said after World War Two, “We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.” That is what drives realpolitik, or pragmatism in international relations. Turkiye and Egypt are a good example. A lot of their mutual tension over...

The situation in Sudan is so sad
The war in Sudan between the army led by Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces militia led by his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, nicknamed Hemedti, is worse than anyone could have imagined when fighting broke out in April last year. The scale of destruction and displacement, and...

The Rabaa Al-Adawiya massacre is forever in our memory
Eleven years have passed since the Rabaa Al-Adawiya massacre in Cairo. It remains the massacre of the era. Despite all the oppression, injustice, killings and bloodshed we have seen before and since, which have exceeded even our worst nightmares, the Rabaa massacre stands out. I shudder when I think...

The Palestinian resistance groups have their finger on the trigger in negotiations
We hear conflicting news every day about the Gaza ceasefire negotiations in Doha that include senior US, Israeli, Egyptian and Qatari intelligence officials. The US is trying to give the illusion of a positive atmosphere surrounding the talks and is spreading rumours that there is progress and that an...

The dawn massacre of civilians was Netanyahu's response to the tripartite statement
A few days after the assassination of the Hamas political bureau head, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran at the hands of the vile, criminal Zionists, and a few hours after the movement chose Yahya Sinwar as his successor, the US, Egypt and Qatar rushed to issue a new statement on...
