The Reality of Relations between Egypt and the Jewish Entity
(Translated)
By Ustadh Said Fadil*

In light of the usurping Jewish entity’s aggression against our people in Gaza, the tone of media and political tensions has recently been escalating, between the Egyptian regime and the Jewish entity. The war of words is against the backdrop of what the Hebrew press has termed “Egyptian harassment” of the Camp David Accords. The Hebrew newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” published reports of growing concern in Zionist military circles about the Egyptian army’s establishment of military infrastructure in Sinai, considering it a violation of the security annexure to the peace agreement.

It even reached the point where Defense Minister Yisrael Katz formally requested the United States to pressure Cairo to dismantle these facilities, supported by reports from the so-called “Multinational Force and Observers (MFO).” Thus, the Jews are unashamed to spy on Egypt, send hostile signals, and even directly insult its army and sovereignty!

It is well known that, since the Camp David Accords, Sinai has been effectively transformed into a demilitarized zone, monitored by American forces, and that the Egyptian army is prohibited from deploying its forces there except in coordination with the entity. Is it conceivable that this regime, which has surrendered the waters of the Nile, Tiran, and Sanafir, would suddenly be so keen on defying the will of America and the Jews?!

The statements issued by the Hebrew press and the allegations of “Egyptian harassment” are nothing more than bargaining chips in the game of negotiation and political blackmail, intended either to secure greater concessions for the enemy or to prepare public opinion to accept further submission.

What’s even more dangerous is that the Egyptian regime, instead of responding to these insults with a stance befitting a sovereign state, continues its humiliating silence, deliberately disregarding the feelings of its people, who have not yet forgotten the martyrdom of Egyptian soldiers on the border by the occupation's fire, then claiming these were “unintended mistakes”!

This situation cannot continue, and it must not be accepted by the sons of this Ummah who carry in their hearts the chivalry of Islam, the aqeedah of Jihad, and loyalty to Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw). The battle with the Jews is not a battle over nationalistic borders. It is an existential battle. Their plans target not only Palestine, but every political entity that dreams of true liberation (tahrir) from Western hegemony.

Therefore, any real change must be radical, eradicating the roots of dependency, restoring the Ummah’s stolen freedom, and placing it on the path to complete liberation (tahrir) from colonialist influence, under the banner of the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood, which unifies the Ummah, pools its energies, and unleashes its armies to secure liberation (tahrir) of the Blessed Land, instead of remaining hostage to shameful and normalization agreements.

Whoever wants to end the humiliation, save Palestine, and restore Egypt’s dignity, let him work with those working to establish the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood, which will liberate the decision-making process, rebuild the armies ideologically, overthrow these treacherous agreements, and mobilize to liberate Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa.

Is it time for the simmering anger to transform into genuine action for change, that goes beyond raging and complaining about taking initiatives and action? Isn’t this the time for the Ummah to rise up against its reality, and break the shackles of fear that have bound it for decades? When people witness the daily massacres in Gaza, and see with their own eyes the inaction and, even collaboration, of regimes, they realize that relying on governments has become a betrayal of trust. The Shariah obligation dictates organized popular action, emerging from masajid, squares, and universities, knocking on the doors of military barracks, which demand that armies take immediate action for the liberation (tahrir) of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa and lifting of the siege on Gaza.

Here, the most important question arises: Will the Egyptian soldier remain captive to the instructions dictated to him by regimes that have lost legitimacy, and fallen into the arms of the enemy? Or will his Islamic chivalry, his Shariah obligation, and his firm Iman push him to break the siege, and support his oppressed brothers in Gaza, who are screaming under the rubble, and calling for support from those who still have the spirit of the warriors and men? The matter can no longer tolerate delay, for the blood of the martyrs is calling out, Al-Quds is crying out for help, whilst the criminal is a Jew, who does not differentiate between a soldier or a child, and between an Egyptian or Palestinian. So where do you, O sons of Egypt al-Kinanah, stand in relation to the order of the Messenger of Allah (saw),

«فُكُّوا الْعَانِيَ، وَأَطْعِمُوا الْجَائِعَ، وَعُودُوا الْمَرِيضَ» “Feed the hungry, attend the sick, and free the captive.” [Bukhari]?

The escalation of the Jewish entity against Egypt is not merely political harassment or a media maneuver. Instead, it is a true test of the Ummah’s resilience, the level of awareness of its people, and their readiness to break the barrier of fear and submission that has been planted by agent regimes for decades. It is a test of dignity and identity, and of the Ummah’s ability to distinguish between a foreign enemy practicing murder and aggression, and a domestic regime that guards its borders and prevents the people’s anger from transforming into effective action. Either the Ummah will rise from its slumber and move in aware marches toward the barracks, demanding that the armies break out of the cycle of subservience, and engage in the battle of liberation (tahrir), or the process of erosion and depletion will continue, not only in geography but also in meaning. This is until nothing remains of sovereignty but its name, nothing remains of states but their shells, and nothing remains of dignity but distant memories!

O soldiers of Egypt al-Kinanah: You are not merely individuals in any military formation. You are part of the Ummah of Muhammad (saw). You are a vanguard that must mobilize, a sword that must be drawn, and a support that must rise to support the oppressed in Gaza, and all of Palestine. Your brothers and sisters are being slaughtered, besieged, and annihilated. You are closer to them than any army, and more capable of breaking the restraints, if you wish. So do not be deceived by the orders that bind your hands, and do not be tempted by the military of fighting doctrine devoid of its spirit. The true doctrine of fighting is the one that arises from the Noble Qur’an, with the order of Allah for you,

[وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ]

“And what is the matter with you? You do not fight in the Path of Allah (swt) and for the oppressed.” [TMQ Surah An-Nisaa 4:75].

Armies in Islam were not founded to protect regimes, or to guard humiliating agreements. Instead, they were formed to protect the Ummah, carry the risaalah (message) of Islam to the world, defend the lands of Muslims, and strike terror within their enemies.

Let Sa’ad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) and Khalid ibn al-Walid (ra), the Drawn Sword of Allah, be your role models, not the commanders of coups and the Camp David Accords! Let your weapons be a trust around your necks, raised only against the enemy of Allah (swt) and the enemy of the Ummah.

Gaza calls out to you... is there anyone who will answer?

Al-Quds cries out to you... is there anyone who will support?

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ]

“O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life.” [TMQ Surah Al-Anfaal 24]
