#Israel is NOT waging a war on #Gaza civilians. 👉The Israeli army is defending itself against #Hamas terrorism, for the good of both the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples. 👇Nothing proves that as clear as this video. Israeli soldiers got off their tank to help an elderly woman in Gaza stand on her feet again! How symbolic this scene is. Just compare this to the scene of Hamas terrorists dragging, humiliating, and raping Israeli women on October 7. #إسرائيل #حماس #غزة #IsraeliWomen

🇺🇸🚢🇮🇷 Following the U.S. blockade of the Hormuz Strait, aligning Gulf Arab states under the banner of common interests is Iran's next move. 🇸🇦🇶🇦 Saudi Arabia and Qatar received phone calls from Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran, today, while the Iranian regime is still striking them. 📺 Watch my analysis on i24NEWS English with Natasha Raquel Kirtchuk to know why it is not as paradoxical as it sounds:

Three messages from the Gazans to the world, and why the people will win this time: 1. "Hamas are terrorists." 2. "We want peace." 3. "We want to live a normal life." It is not the first time the people of #Gaza protested against Hamas rule. Similar protests have happened many times before, but it has always been under-reported in the media and quickly suppressed by the brutally powerful Hamas and its regional backers. However, this time is different. Why? * Hamas is lonely and devasted. * The biased Qatar-sponsored media has already lost its credibility and ability to manipulate the truth. * The people of Gaza have broken the barriers of fear after they have been left with nothing to lose. Let's amplify their voices. #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #Protests #غزة #حماس #مظاهرات #احتجاجات #إسرائيل

🇶🇦🔥🇦🇪 Qatar-sponsored media campaign against the UAE is all about protecting the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan. 🇸🇩 Sudan is the last place in the Middle East where the Political Islamist project (whether Sunni or Shiite) is still active and strong. 👉 There is a pattern here. Qatar is talented in using the sufferings of the local civilians in regional conflicts as a weapon to attack and make political gains. 👉 The good news is that the end of Political Islamism is near, as the U.S. is taking steps to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. 📺 Watch my take on this and more in my interview today with Laura Cellier at i24NEWS English

🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦 The Gulf Arab states are not at the negotiating table in Islamabad, but their worst fears are. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Arabs (and also Israel) do not care whether the US-Iran negotiations will end with a ceasefire; they want to make sure that the future Iran will have no economic or military authority over them. 🇸🇦🇶🇦🇵🇰 Pakistan is not the right mediator, but the only one, and thus some Gulf states, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are paying heavily to align with it. 📺 Watch my full analysis with Nicole Zedeck on i24NEWS English here:

🇪🇬🇮🇱 It is the first time the Egyptian President El-Sisi refers to Israel as an "enemy" and purposefully reframes the attack on Hamas in Qatar as a hostility towards all Arab and Islamic states. 👉 Egypt is speaking from a position of fear that it may be the next target of an Israeli attack, given the fact that it already hosts members of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. 📺 Watch my take on the fiery statements from Arab leaders at the Doha Summit today: مصر السيسي قطر قمة الدوحة إسرائيل رفح سيناء غزة حماس

Let me be the one highlighting the silver lining of the #October7 tragedy! As horrific as it was, October 7, 2023 will be remembered as the day that changed the Middle East forever... perhaps for the good. It was meant to be the end of #Israel, just like the #Holocaust was meant to be the end of the Jewish people in #Europe. Yet, thanks to the mighty Israeli army, this day will be written down in history books as the beginning of the end of #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and #Iran-sponsored terrorist organizations that have been wreaking havoc all over the Middle East for decades. It was the point when the geopolitical status quo that had empowered these terrorist organizations to dominate the Middle East region since the 1980s was broken... ... and the masks covering the ugly faces of radical Islamists and terrorism supporters in the East and the West fell off. It was the day when the state sponsors of terrorism (known as the Axis of Evil) were exposed, and their scheme to destroy the West was unveiled. It is a war on the West... What is happening now in the Middle East, and its loud echoes in American and European societies and universities, is part of the greater scheme of Iran's war on the West, Iran's war on the United States. ...and Israel has been working hard to block the ambitions of the Axis of Evil and protect not only itself but also the United States, Arab countries, and even the people of #Gaza. Hamas terrorists had not only attacked Israelis, but they also tortured and humiliated the people of Gaza for almost two decades and then used them as human shields in a war that they did not choose or want. A war that even Israel did not choose or want. A war that only Hamas and Iran wanted to fuel their greater scheme of destroying the West. Hamas threatened the security of Arab countries, including my own home country, #Egypt, and if it were not for the cooperation and help of Israel in 2013-2015, we would not have been able to get rid of the terrorists that Hamas implanted in #Sinai in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Hamas and its fellow terrorist organizations are not only targeting the Israelis, but they have also been chasing and terrorizing liberal Muslims and Arabs like myself. That is why I applaud the Israeli army for crushing Hamas and Hezbollah and feel so ashamed of the stance of the majority of Arab states against Israel at this challenging time in the history of our region. When Hamas terrorists launched the October 7 attacks on Israeli civilians last year, I was one of only a handful number of Arabs and Muslims who dared to publicly condemn Hamas's terrorism and show support for Israel's right to defend itself. I paid a heavy price for my position in support of Israel. I was forced to leave my country after radical Islamists and also my own people in Egypt wanted to imprison and kill me because I dared to say the truth... I said, in Arabic, to the Arab audience that "Hamas is a terrorist organization and Israel is doing the right thing by chasing Hamas in Gaza, and that if Arab states are thinking straight, they should be supporting Israel in this war." Thank G-d! One year later, Israel has proved my point right, and heroically and single-headedly, the Israeli army has been combating Hamas and Hezbollah to the point of defeat. Now, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon are almost defeated. However, the fight against the Axis of Evil that aims to dominate the Middle East and destroy the United States is still going on. Do not forget that! Well, History may also remember this day as the beginning of the end of the Islamic regime in Iran. Israel’s astonishing progress on the battlefield so far makes us safely hopeful that this could really happen.

Arab peoples understand that ridding the region of Iran is a huge relief to everyone, but Arab leaders have to put on the show of blaming Israel; not only because they enjoy blaming Israel, but also to avoid an uninvited attack from Iran. 👉 Despite blaming Israel in their press statements, Arab leaderships have not shown any support to Iran... Except for Egypt! 👉 Egypt, shockingly, is openly taking the side of Iran, in what seems to be a position incited by Qatar, whose influence on Egypt has been dramatically growing over the past few years. #Iran #Israel #Jordan #SaudiArabia #Egypt #Qatar #إيران #إسرائيل #السعودية #قطر #الأردن #مصر #IsraelIranConflict #IsraeliranWar #الحرب_بدأت_الان #الحرب_العالمية_الثالثة

Why are radical Islamists so obsessed with destroying the Jewish communities in Western countries? The terrorist attack at Bondi Beach, Australia, is not the first and will not be the last unless we address the core of the issue of Islamist's strategy to destroy Western civilization through systematic targeting of the Jewish people.

Regional visions for Gaza’s future are colliding again: 🇶🇦 Hamas, backed by Qatar and Turkey, still controls roughly 47% of the Strip, refuses to disarm, and is now consolidating power by eliminating rival clans. 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia has handed $90 million to the Palestinian Authority, betting that shoring up the PA will revive the two-state track that Riyadh has elevated into a central diplomatic priority. 🇪🇬 Egypt, quietly backed by Qatar and Türkiye, has constructed the headquarters for an International Stabilization Forces (ISF) in North Sinai, just meters from Rafah, and is already preparing Palestinian police units for deployment into Gaza. 📺 Watch my in-depth analysis with Laura Cellier on i24NEWS English here:

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇹🇷 The exclusion of Israel (not Turkey) from the US Central Command-led talks in Qatar today on the international stabilization force (ISF) in Gaza is what surprises me... 🇮🇱🪖 There is no chance for achieving any stability in Gaza without Israel's involvement and appropriate coordination with the ISF's foreign troops. 🇪🇬 Egypt, which may most likely be the leader of the ISF, is doing all it can to make sure the gate of hill (that is, Gaza) will not open into Sinai, especially after the clan clashes that led to the killing of Abu Shabab and involved family members from the Tarabine Tribes in Sinai. 📺 Watch my interview with Laura Cellier on i24NEWS English about this here:

Qatar is desperately trying to throw a new lifeline to the collapsing Hamas... ... by bribing regional (e.g., Egypt) and international (e.g., France) actors, using its economic power to form an alliance that can intervene to rescue #Hamas from the mighty hands of #Israel under the deceitful banner of the Gaza ceasefire. 🇪🇬 Bribing Egypt: Yesterday, Qatar promised direct investments of $7.5 billion in Egypt over the coming three years. 🇫🇷 Bribing France: One month ago, Qatar promised $10 billion of investments in France. 🇶🇦 Both countries are now working hard to achieve Qatar's goal. 📺 I talk about this and more in this short intervention today.

So, the #Boulder #Colorado attacker is an Egyptian man, just like the thousands of Egyptians who wanted to kill or imprison me for simply condemning #Hamas' October 7 attack on #Israel, and forced me to escape running for my life in 2023. These people are everywhere. They are well-dressed, occupying interesting jobs, they smoke shisha and drink coffee, and they shop at the same grocery stores as you all, but their hearts are full of hate, and their minds are full of evil... just waiting for the right moment to shoot it out. I lived (suffered) among them for decades, and I know them really well! Ironically, I had figured out Mohamed Soliman's background from his name and accent, but I waited until the information was confirmed.

🇮🇷 The jihadist mentality of Iran's Islamic regime knows no such thing as a "ceasefire." 🇸🇦🇦🇪 Arab states did not want a ceasefire that may further embolden the Iranian regime.

Watch so you know... why President Trump's decision to initiate the process of designating the Muslim Brotherhood an FTO marks a very personal moment for me. As a liberal Muslim, I have been fighting against the Muslim Brotherhood for 13 years, since they hijacked my native Egypt in 2012. I was at the forefront of the civil society movement that campaigned to oust them from power in 2013. I documented the Brotherhood's violent atrocities in Egypt, and in 2014, I led an international campaign to influence policymakers in the US, UK, and Germany to ban the group. Over the years, I got into countless direct fights with the members of the Brotherhood in several political and diplomatic arenas worldwide, including at the UN. In 2023, the Brotherhood and Salafist affiliates and sympathizers in Egypt attempted to kill me after I publicly condemned the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas (the Brotherhood's armed militia in Gaza). I had to run for my life, leaving behind everything I ever owned and every person I ever loved. They literally destroyed my life. I saw it collapsing in front of my eyes. But they couldn't destroy me. They only made me stronger. When I came to the US in November 2023, I quickly licked my wounds and resumed the fight against the Brotherhood's evil influence everywhere I could... from university campuses (thanks to Hillel) to Capitol Hill and beyond (thanks to ISGAP), powered by personal experience and winning by delivering authentic education to students, the public, and policymakers. Only three days before President Trump signed this historic executive order, I joined my beloved colleagues at ISGAP to launch one of our best reports ever, which for the first time connects the dots between the Muslim Brotherhood networks in the US and their networks in the Middle East. I am not saying this to be proud (maybe, I am!). I am just happy that we (the forces of good) have won this crucial round of this long-term battle against the forces of evil. There is still much to be done next, though. I will write about it in a different post. Now, let's celebrate.

⚠️ Hamas has not disarmed yet, has not delivered the bodies of all the deceased Israeli hostages, and is hosted in Cairo to negotiate the future of Gaza! 👉 That is a clear manipulation of the 20-point Peace Plan, not only by Hamas, but also by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, that the U.S. Administration should not allow. 👉 Jordan's King Abdullah's statement that the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza should be a "peacekeeping" rather than a "peace-enforcing" force is also contradictory to what was agreed with U.S. President Trump at the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit two weeks ago and to points 15, 16, 17 of the peace plan which clearly says the mission of the ISF is to establish "control and stability" so the IDF can withdraw from the strip. 👉 The intentional absence of Arab Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, from this conversation should be a matter of concern. 📺 I discussed this👆 and Egypt's involvement in the search for hostage bodies in Gaza today with @laura_i24 on i24NEWS English.
