The alliance between the UAE and Israel is a poisoned dagger in the Arabs’ back
Following the public announcement of the Zionist-Emirati love affair, a US-Israel-UAE deal was signed to supply F-35 aircraft to the Gulf State. This was viewed as controversial within decision-making circles in Washington and Tel Aviv, prompting US President Donald Trump to defend the agreement with a businessman’s mentality: “They...

In fifteen years between Hariri’s assassination and the Beirut explosion what did we learn?
There is no doubt that the verdict of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon regarding the assassination of Rafic Hariri, the former Prime Minister, shocked those searching for the truth. The court’s ruling was a disappointment, because it acquitted the leaders of the criminal Syrian regime and Hezbollah, and only...

The functionary state is officially in Israel’s embrace: Part two
Read part one here. As I mentioned in my earlier article, what is going on behind the scenes is even more serious and dangerous than what we are seeing out in the open today. Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv’s cooperation is based on fighting Islam under the pretext of fighting “terrorism”...

The functionary state is officially in Israel’s embrace: Part one
In my previous article, I wondered, in whose interest the battle that the UAE is calling for and wants to ignite between Egypt and Turkey will be, in order to understand the truth of its functionary role. Who is it playing for and in whose interest? Which state is...

The UAE is working against Turkey, but for how long?
The UAE has been the spearhead in the wars against the Arab nations demanding freedom, justice and equality. It has been entrusted with the task of destabilising the region, fighting Islam around the world and acting in the vanguard of the counter-revolutions against the Arab Spring. Although small in size,...

The UAE is a tool in the service of the US and Israel
The United Arab Emirates is a relatively a young country that is small in both area and political weight. Nevertheless, it has the ability to conspire against Muslims, not only in the Arab world, but also around the world, from Mali to Turkey, the Balkans — where it is...

July is the month for coups
Although the month of June comes and goes every year, the effects of incidents during the month are apparently never ending. In June, 1967, for example, Israel defeated the Arab armies in the Six Day War. The Arabs lost Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque, the West Bank, the Sinai Peninsula and...

Political meddling may lead to the Tunisian revolution being killed off
Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution was the icon of the Arab Spring that put some spirit in the Arab countries having been clinically dead for many years. The people rose up in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria against oppressive rulers and tyrants, overthrowing them all except Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, who...

Hagia Sophia reconnects modern Turkey with the legacy of the Ottomans
There is no doubt that Turkey’s decision to annul the 1934 Council of Ministers edict to convert the Hagia Sophia Mosque into a museum has pleased Muslims around the world. The mosque, it has been confirmed, was the personal property of Sultan Mehmet II, and he decreed that it...

Will Libya be the rock which destroys NATO?
The current dispute between two important NATO members, France and Turkey, over their opposing views on Libya could be the beginning of the end for the alliance. If the differences escalate, will Libya be the rock upon which NATO founders? This is not an easy issue given that the...

Ahmed Erekat was executed with the blessing of Abbas and the Oslo people
Ahmed Erekat was not the first Palestinian to be killed by the Israeli occupation forces in cold blood, nor will he be the last to be killed “because he tried to attack” them. The young man was shot dead as he helped his sister with her wedding preparations. Instead...

The US Caesar Act is four years too late
Nobody — not the killer Bashar Al-Assad and his supporters; not the Iranians; and not the Russians — could have ever expected that an unknown person would come from the heart of the Assad regime to turn the tables on all of them. The unknown individual was a Syrian...

Will Netanyahu accomplish what Ben-Gurion couldn’t?
An Israeli newspaper said that the countdown to the implementation of the plan to annex the West Bank and the Jordan Valley has already begun, explaining that the Israeli security services are preparing to count the Palestinian residents located in the areas covered by Trump’s plan and which will supposedly fall under Israeli...

Does Martin Luther King’s ‘dream’ or Malcolm X’s ‘nightmare’ await America?
Two weeks have passed since the murder of George Floyd, who was suffocated under the knee of a white policeman in Minneapolis. Protests still sweep cities across the US, despite the imposition of curfews. Perhaps the most important of these cities is New York, home of the World Trade Centre....

The ‘I can’t breathe’ protests target police brutality and injustice
The protests in the wake of the killing of black American citizen George Floyd by a white police officer have spread way beyond the city of Minneapolis where it happened. Protesters have taken to the streets in cities across the US. Citizens burnt down the precinct police station in Minneapolis...

Omar Al-Mukhtar’s Libya is now fighting a global proxy war
As I have said before, I was counting on the Libyan heroes of the February Revolution to continue their struggle against the reckless criminal Khalifa Haftar, and defeat his mercenary militias. My intuition proved to be right when the Libyans managed not only to control all the cities of...

The Nakba in its 72nd year
This year marks the seventy-second anniversary of the usurpation of our beloved Palestine and the anniversary comes as the world is occupied by the coronavirus pandemic and the imposed lockdowns. Therefore, we haven’t seen any gatherings or mass protests to commemorate its painful memory. Instead, everyone is commemorating it in their...

Libya’s Don Quixote Haftar
Almost a year ago, when the coup leader Khalifa Haftar attacked the Libyan capital Tripoli with his mercenary militias, I wrote an article in which I said, “The battle of Tripoli is a decisive battle between the forces of the revolution and the counter-revolution forces; it separates truth from...

Palestine is the cause of the free
They chose the holy month of Ramadan, the month of worship and growing closer to God, to distract them from their worship with a stream of provocative series and frivolous programs. This is a Zionist policy adopted since the launch of Arab satellite channels in the 1990s. Coronavirus has...

Ramadan in the time of Coronavirus
There is no doubt that Ramadan this year is different from previous years. The usual sense of communal spirituality is absent and its joy is lost amid the artificial panic surrounding the coronavirus Covid-19. Social distancing has imposed the closure of mosques including, most importantly, Al-Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah....

The world’s tyrants do not want Covid-19 to disappear
The coronavirus Covid-19 has achieved what tyrants haven’t been able to by spreading fear and panic around the whole world, encompassing all creeds and ethnicities. The virus does not discriminate between a Muslim and a Christian, black or white, rich or poor, prince or pauper; everyone is the same...

Did the coronavirus’ message reach global titans?
Some have compared what the coronavirus caused in the world to a mini version of the Day of Judgement, where people flee from their brothers, mothers, fathers, partners, children and the community that shelters him. Those infected by coronavirus are isolated far from everyone and people run away from...

Coronavirus the Egyptian way
At a time when all countries of the world announced the coronavirus and took the necessary precautions to confront it, and the World Health Organisation declared the coronavirus a global pandemic, Egypt continued to deny the virus’ spread in the country and covered up the deaths resulting from it. Instead, it...

All other issues have been locked away by the Covid-19 key
A frequently heard song at this time of year has the line, “It is spring time and the weather is lovely, let’s not discuss serious issues.” It was written by the Egyptian poet Salah Jaheen, who was well-known for his enthusiastic nationalistic poems during Gamal Abdel Nasser’s presidency. The...
