Israel’s principal objective in its war against the Gaza Strip continues to be to destroy and uproot Palestinian residents and annex Palestinian territory under the pretense of defeating Hamas, as the Israeli leadership has stated time and time again. As such, the Arab world faces a difficult choice regarding post-war arrangements. Arab leaders were expected to firmly state their stance against Israel’s horrific war of aggression against Gaza and a threat of igniting a wider regional catastrophe at the one-day meeting in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The Palestinian Authority (PA) organized the Arab summit…

Israeli and Jewish groups view it as a call for Israel’s destruction and that is just for starters, as it is not politically expedient to hear it said at all, not in the US, not the UK, and especially NOT when spoken by a Palestinian member of the US Congress or a British MP. There are two speeches that will go down in history, and both involve a river, from the River to the Sea, as recently proclaimed by Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress, and one by Enoch Powell, River of Blood, and both were likely misrepresented in retrospect…

Since October 7, 2023, almost, 15000 civilians, including thousands of children and women, in Palestine have been killed by Israeli forces. There is much speculation that the latter is intentionally targeting children and women as a weapon to draw Hamas out of their hiding places. The recent genocide of the people of Gaza started after Hamas attacks on Israel on 7^th October. Israel is using these attacks as an excuse for its beyond-the-pale atrocities and war crimes in Gaza, ignoring the fact that Hamas attacks were not conducted in isolation…

Nearly two weeks after the current conflict erupted in the Middle East, aid trucks were finally allowed to cross the Egyptian border into Gaza, carrying much-needed aid supplies and food to the beleaguered citizens. 20 trucks entered Gaza from the Rafah crossing in Egypt, a fraction of the 200 or so trucks already positioned at the border at that time. The delivery through Egypt, though a welcome development, came after strong denials from both it and Jordan to accept refugees from Palestine and to intervene in the conflict…

The Middle Eastern coordinator of the United Nations Security Council has declared that the world has reached the brink of a perilous abyss that holds the potential to alter the trajectory of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Recently, the world has seen one of the most inhumane wars in Gaza. According to the United Nations, almost 67 percent of over 14000 people assassinated in Gaza are children and women. Many countries in the world have seen grave protests. However, the United States and its allies – the self-proclaimed human rights champions of the world…

It should baffle the mind as what is going on in Israel and Palestine, especially in terms of media coverage, and how politicians of all hues are applying two standards to human rights and the much overused concept of international law. The not so hidden Israeli End Game is more than just cold blood murder, shoot to kill is carte blanch for Israel to eliminate once and for all any hope of a two-state solution. The Hamas enemy can be applied to anything that moves, or in proximity—collateral damage…

A robust conclusion emerged from the unprecedented Arab-Islamic summit held in the capital of Saudi Arabia, but no real steps were taken to counter Israel and its Western backers, particularly the US. Leaders of the Muslim world eventually convened in Riyadh for a conference on the Palestinian issue, following over a month and a half of ceaseless bombing that claimed thousands of civilian lives. Top leaders from major Muslim nations, including Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saudi…

The U.N. Security Council has passed its initial resolution since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict, urging immediate and prolonged humanitarian breaks in Gaza to address the worsening crisis for Palestinian civilians amid Israel’s air and ground assaults. Israel promptly rejected the resolution. The vote in the 15-member council resulted in a 12-0 outcome, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia opting to abstain. The U.S. and U.K. refrained due to the resolution’s omission of condemnation of Hamas’ unexpected cross-border attacks into Israel on Oct. 7…

The US and Europe purport to start a political peace process for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, only to prevent other actors from seeking sustainable peace. The reality that The West is behind Israel’s ‘mowing’ Palestinians’ is accentuated in Josep Borell’s speech at the Opening of EU’s Ambassador’s Conference 2023. Evidence of these parties starting a process only to preclude others can be seen in the Oslo Accords that began in 1978 at Camp David in a period when the US was trying to act like a responsible player compared to the USSR, but to advance its interest. The Camp David Accords led to the Oslo Accords in 1993 and 1995, which were supposed to culminate in the peaceful coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians. However, careful review shows that The West gave Israel what it wanted, a legal recognition by Palestinians…

The sides are being drafted for what could be humankind’s last great competition. In my talks with contacts and friends from the four corners of our world, a central theme echo. A common fear is surfacing. Are we about to end civilization again? And the focus of all this apprehension is not Ukraine. It’s Israel. The mainstream media across the Western world is leaving out critical truths about Israel’s war of extermination on the Palestinians…

Apparently, the Israelis have been mouthing off about purported Chinese “anti-Semitism” ever since the PRC called for an immediate ceasefire and purposeful negotiations.  This should come as no surprise, as the Chinese are falling in line with Turkey, the Muslim world and much of the Global South. Collectively, they can see the contradictions in Israel’s vengeful policies and US double standards and duplicity…

The Arab press is rife with criticisms of American policy in the Middle East. Washington is in charge of overseeing the conflict even while Israel and Hamas are engaged in a ground battle, as the Al Ahram daily stated on November 7. The Biden administration’s current attempts are out of sync with the times and seriously jeopardize both President Biden’s political prospects and the USA’s status in the world. The Saudi press stressed that relations with Washington would reach a breaking point depending on how the Gaza war turned out. No Arab nation can jeopardize its support for the Palestinian cause..
