  • Thank you, Tunisia

    The overwhelming election victory of Tunisia’s new President, Kais Saied, and the statements he made in its aftermath send a very clear message: the counter-revolution in Tunisia has failed; it has been defeated; it has ended. Tunisians have always embraced the saying, “If people fight for life, destiny will...

  • Foiling the ‘deal of the century’ is possible

    The US has once again started to hint about the postponement of the announcement of the details of the “deal of the century”; it was supposed to be revealed “after Ramadan”, which ended two weeks ago, having already been delayed twice previously. According to the US envoy to the...

  • What would happen if a war breaks out in the Gulf?

    War is looming over the region more than ever before. While it is unlikely, at least for now, that the current tension will reach a level of a direct military confrontation in the Gulf, in the event that a war does break out, it will mean that the Gulf...

  • A war between the US and Iran is unlikely

    Some Gulf States like to hide behind the US and Israel and claim that Washington and Tel Aviv can confront the threat to the region posed by Iran. They cite the fact that the US rescued them from Iraqi militarism in the 1990s. However, the truth of the matter...

  • Jordan is changing, which is what it needs now

    Jordan has been experiencing tough days which have led it to the current economic crisis given the absence of any Arab support. Instead, the Arabs’ dollars are being set on fire in crushing wars here and there. Moreover, the Arabs and Israel are fighting from the same trench to...

  • Gulf normalisation and changing the Arab awareness

    Arab normalisation with Israel has entered a new phase in the last ten years, with the Gulf’s openness to Tel Aviv and the establishment of direct relations with it. This action was taken without reaching any political agreement or the exchange of ambassadors and with total disregard for the...

  • Golan Heights, the US, and the shameful Arab regimes

    The Arab electronic armies insult and curse Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on a daily basis for being the only one to express his rejection of the new American position on the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights is an occupied Arab territories and neither the international community nor international...

  • This is why Al-Quds is being silenced

    If Al-Quds satellite station actually closes its doors and completely stops broadcasting, which is what is currently occurring, albeit gradually, this means that the enemies of the Palestinian national project succeeded in silencing the voice that has long plagued the occupation over the past ten years. Moreover, silencing Al-Quds...

  • Daesh cannot be defeated by war

    The US likes to claim that it is fighting its last battle against Daesh, and President Donald Trump is keen to announce the end of the group and the battles to defeat it in Syria. However, these are misguided remarks intended to deceive American voters and public opinion. The...

  • When is visiting Al-Aqsa considered normalisation?

    Some Arabs occasionally engage in visits to the occupied Palestinian territories, with visas issued by the occupation’s embassies. This raises the debate over and over again over whether visiting Al-Aqsa Mosque, while under occupation, is considered normalisation with the occupation or not? Meanwhile, the Arab officials are racing into...

  • The Arabs are paying the price for peace with Israel

    In the past few years, Israel, the alien state in the region, has been sleeping in peace in a way that it has never dreamt of since it was founded more than seven decades ago. Meanwhile, the Arabs are drowning in war and blood day after day. If we...

  • Iran, Israel and foolish Arabs

    The idea that confronting Iran requires normalisation and an alliance with Israel is purely Israeli in origin and only serves the agenda of the occupation state, which invests all events in the region and, indeed, around the world, with its own best interests. Israel’s most recent success in this...

  • Why Hamas needs Iran

    The relationship between Hamas and Iran has been the subject of widespread controversy for years both within the movement and among the Palestinian people. This controversy has increased in recent years, when the relationship between the two sides has witnessed a collapse or deterioration due to the conflict in Syria and...

  • Israel’s failure in Gaza

    The failed Israeli operation that targeted Hamas members on Sunday evening confirms that Israel is not sparing any opportunity and is not risking losing any target, regardless of the political situation. It does not care if the truce collapses or survives and it does not care about any international...

  • Gazans in Jordan

    Every Gazan who lives in Jordan must pay $300 to renew their passport. They must also pay for their medical treatment, whether they visit a government or private hospital, and even pay for their children’s school education if the UNRWA shuts down its facilities or reduces its services. Furthermore,...

  • The madness of tyranny and what comes after

    The unprecedented wave of repression and tyranny that the Arab world is currently witnessing, which has reached the level of blind brutality, cannot be a good thing for the region. Every action has a reaction, and what we are witnessing now in the region are the acts that we...

  • Why the Arabs like Erdogan

    President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is popular in the Arab world, from West to East, perhaps even more so than he is within Turkey itself. The Arabs see Erdogan as a leader of the Ummah, not only the President of Turkey. Many have drowned in debate and questions about the...

  • Israel’s invasion of the Arab capitals

    An Israeli delegation will visit the Kingdom of Bahrain on Sunday, adding a new link to the chain of Arab normalisation with Israel. This is occurring at a time when Arab countries are being isolated from their national surroundings and depth, including the Palestinian Authority, which is suffering from...

  • Makkah’s promises are not enough for Jordan

    The promises obtained by Jordan from the Makkah summit are not enough to save it from the economic crisis. In addition to this, they are still in the context of promises that have no announced implementation date. The three Gulf states have pledged $2.5 billion in total as aid to...

  • The PLO and the need for reform

    The majority of members of the Palestinian National Council who met in Ramallah last week are over 60 or 70 years old. Participants in the March of Return in the Gaza Strip, however, are mostly born in the new millennium, and are not more than 20 years old. This...

  • An urgent Palestinian rescue plan is needed

    Palestinians need a comprehensive national rescue plan that goes beyond existing institutions with all their disputes and contradictions, because threats facing them now are much greater than the philosophical differences with which some are preoccupied. As such, the meeting of the Palestinian National Council scheduled for the end of...

  • How Israel benefitted from terrorism

    In September of every year, the attacks on New York and Washington and the wave of terror that the world witnessed after that date are brought back to the forefront of our minds. Israel was the only beneficiary from the 9/11 attacks. It is also the biggest beneficiary from...

  • Israel benefits from our catastrophes

    A well-known and prestigious Israeli magazine specialising in military affairs recently confirmed that the current Gulf crisis would end with major Israeli gains, exactly like the gains Tel Aviv obtained from the September 11 2001 attacks. The magazine also considered the escalation of the political conflict in the region as...

  • What is Libya’s role in the terrorism that’s hit Egypt?

    What is the role of Libya, particularly the city of Derna, in the terrorist operations that are currently taking place in Egypt? Why does the Egyptian army want to strike Libyan sites rather than Daesh bases in the Sinai dessert? Why is the response not a desire to target...
