Official Meetings between the Syrian Authority and the Jewish Entity
The French capital hosted on 24 July a meeting between a Syrian government delegation and another “Israeli” delegation, considered the first and highest-level of its kind since 2000, under American auspices. This came following a significant escalation of tension in southern Syria due to the ongoing and increasing “Israeli” intervention. The Syrian delegation was headed by Foreign Minister, Asaad al-Shaibani, and included officials from the Foreign Ministry and intelligence, while the “Israeli” delegation was headed by Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer.
According to these sources, this is the first meeting at this level since former Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa met with his “Israeli” counterpart Ehud Barak in the United States, as part of peace talks sponsored by Washington, similar to the recent meeting.
Prior to the Paris meeting, there were indirect contacts between Syria and the occupying entity, followed by a direct meeting held in the Azerbaijani capital on 12 July, according to “Israeli” media sources. (Al Jazeera, 29/7/2025)
Al-Waie: Through those it claimed led a Jihadi faction in the revolution, America has achieved more than it was able to achieve through its previous creations, Bashar and Hafez.
Sheikh Bilal al-Rifai, son of the Syrian Grand Mufti, calls from the Friday minbar to follow Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s theory and shift loyalty from the Ummah to the “nation”!
Sheikh Bilal Osama al-Rifai said in one of his Friday sermons that the Islamic political project has failed to achieve its goals due to the intense hostility and scheming of the countries of the world. He argued that we must adopt the best possible alternative, namely the project of citizenship, in which “loyalty is to the nation,” in his words, under which Syria will enter. He stated that the people of Al-Sham do not favor extremism, but prefer to approach matters gradually or participate in the citizenship project until Allah (swt) wills otherwise. He then proceeded to explain to the congregation in his Friday khutba about Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the details of his project, and Islam’s view on his ideas and the concept of citizenship.
He called for the establishment of a political-legal Shariah commission to re-examine the concept of citizenship, and see whether it is possible to reconcile Islam with citizenship, so that the outcome would please Allah (swt) within what is feasible in his view. He added that “entrenching the concept of citizenship, approved by the major powers, in our country will stop this bleeding wound.”
Al-Waie: The promotion of the foundations of Western civilization, which created the misguided Western way of life, from masjid minbars and Friday sermons, by individuals regarded as guides teaching people Islam and its rulings, is clear evidence of the deep influence of Western intellectual and cultural invasion on the children of the Islamic Ummah. This model also reflects the intellectual bankruptcy of those who assumed power in Syria after the fall of the criminal regime.
Aoun to Larijani: “We reject any interference in our internal affairs from any party”
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun warned Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Ali Larijani, that his country rejects “any interference” in its domestic affairs, describing Iranian statements opposing the government’s decision to disarm “Hezbollah” as “unhelpful.”
Larijani’s visit to Beirut followed the government’s decision last week to task the army with developing an implementation plan to disarm the Shia group, which is supplied with money and weapons by its ally Tehran, before the end of the year. This comes amid US pressure and fears that “Israel” might launch a new large-scale military campaign in Lebanon, after months of a destructive conflict with Hezbollah that left the group exhausted. (France 24, 13/8/2025)
Aoun: “It is not permitted to bear arms and rely on external support”
In this context, the Lebanese presidency stated that Aoun told the Iranian official during their meeting, “We reject any interference in our internal affairs from any party,” explaining that “Lebanon, which does not intervene in the affairs of any other country and respects their privacy, including Iran, will not allow anyone to interfere in its internal matters.”
Al-Waie: As usual, America does not care about those in its orbit. Despite the significant services Iran provided to America in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in Al-Sham, and its participation in the bloodshed of millions of Muslims, America did not hesitate to destroy its influence and return it to its former size, after it had exhausted its purposes in the region, so much so that even yesterday’s powerful ally dared to defy it.
Fistfight inside the Iraqi Parliament
A session of the Iraqi Council of Representatives witnessed significant tension that escalated into a physical altercation between several MPs during a vote to appoint members of the “Federal Service Council,” prompting the session to be abruptly adjourned.
According to Al-Ain News’ correspondent in Baghdad, a heated verbal dispute broke out between Coordination Framework (Shia) MP, Alaa al-Haidari, and the Azm Alliance (Sunni) MP, Raad al-Dahlaki, over disagreements regarding the voting mechanism and nominations, before turning into a physical clash.
Informed parliamentary sources told Al-Ain News that the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament and Shiite Coordination Framework leader Mohsen al-Mandalawi had to adjourn the session due to the altercation, as the session witnessed a dispute between two MPs that caused organizational confusion, and chaos in the chamber.
Sources added that a security force from the Kurdish Peshmerga stationed in the parliament intervened to break up the conflict between Haidari and Dahlaki. (Al-Ain News, 5/8/2025)
Al-Waie: Since America occupied Iraq in 2003, it has been manipulating its components, and most of its political currents are caught in a struggle for influence between Washington and Iran. The bottom line is that these parties, knowingly or unknowingly, implement American plans sometimes under the banner of “Shia rights,” sometimes in defense of “Sunni rights.” These political groups make themselves subservient instruments of colonialism and excel at nothing but “boxing” each other.
Sisi Regime Doubles Gas Imports from the Jewish Entity
Egyptian Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, said that the agreement reached with NewMed Energy, partner in the “Israeli” Leviathan gas field, is an extension of the 2019 agreement until 2040. Madbouly emphasized that this will not affect his country’s supportive stance toward Palestine.
This is the first official Egyptian comment on what Hebrew media and the “Israeli” Energy Minister mentioned a few days ago regarding Cairo signing a $35 billion gas supply agreement with NewMed Energy (Israeli). At the time, “Israeli” Energy Minister, Eli Cohen, described the deal as “the largest in his country’s history.”
Madbouly said, “There has been debate and confusion regarding the announcement about extending the agreement with NewMed Energy, partner in the “Israeli” Leviathan field, which is the existing agreement with Egypt, in place since 2019.”
He added, “All we agreed on is to extend this agreement until 2040, with their expectations of increased production. Therefore, they requested that this increase be integrated into Egypt’s gas system, given that Egypt is a regional energy hub.”
He stressed that the agreement has not affected “Egypt’s strong and clear position since the Gaza crisis,” and its rejection of all attempts to “settle the Palestinian issue or displace our Palestinian brothers from their lands.”
Egypt uses these supplies to cover part of domestic demand, while some quantities are re-exported as liquefied gas through the Idku and Damietta LNG plants to European and Asian markets.
Al-Waie: Prime Minister Madbouly is futilely trying to deceive the people, deceiving only himself. The betrayal of Islam and the people of Palestine by the Egyptian regime is immeasurable. At its core is the recognition of the Jewish entity instead of working to eliminate it.
Two Brave Young Men Detain Officers at a Security Center in Egypt Demanding the Lifting of the Gaza Blockade
Hours separated the circulation on social media of a video showing two young men, claiming to have stormed a police station and detained officers to demand the opening of the Rafah Border Crossing, and the denial issued by the Ministry of Interior regarding the incident.
In the video, the two young men, Mohsen Mohamed Mostafa, from the Fifteenth May District in Helwan, a former detainee who spent six months in prison before being released, and his cousin, Ahmed Al-Sharif, are seen speaking about storming the National Security headquarters located on the fourth floor of the Al-Ma’sara police station.
The young men claimed to have held several National Security personnel for nearly five hours, demanding that authorities immediately open the Rafah Border Crossing to save Gaza’s residents from the life-threatening famine.
In the footage, one of the youths speaks to a person detained behind an iron door, telling him he knows he will not return home, while someone behind the door asks to be allowed out, and is reassured that he will not be harmed.
Hours after the video circulated, a security source said the footage was fabricated. The Ministry of Interior’s official page published statements from the unnamed source, saying that the circulated documents had no relation to reality, and that security forces had arrested those responsible for creating and promoting them. The source accused the Muslim Brotherhood of consistently falsifying facts and spreading rumors to undermine the stability enjoyed by the country, which the Egyptian people are aware of.
Following the Ministry’s denial, platforms on Telegram shared a video in which the perpetrators claimed responsibility for the operation in a voice statement, affirming that they do not belong to any political party or organization, but represent, in their words, “the descendants of Umar ibn al-Khattab and Amr ibn al-As.”
One of them said the operation aimed to “revive the dormant spirit of the generous people of Egypt, and stop the genocide of our people in Gaza.” The video appears to have been recorded before the operation, stating that it would be carried out on Friday 25 July 2025, and that by publishing the video, they would be arrested.
The operation was named “Iron 17,” and its claim of responsibility was published through supportive social media accounts. (Cairo – Al-Quds Al-Arabi)
Al-Waie: Goodness still exists in the Ummah despite all the cover-ups, betrayals, and traitors. For every act of treachery, there are many sincere individuals who believe in the unity of the Islamic Ummah despite all obstacles, but they need a framework and project to organize their efforts and channel their energy to bring about a comprehensive and radical change that restores the Ummah’s authority under the rule of Allah’s law.
Saudi Foreign Minister: No Relations with the Jewish entity Before the Establishment of a Palestinian State
Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, affirmed that his country will not establish relations with “Israel” before the establishment of a Palestinian state, stressing that “the time has come to end the conflict and realize the Palestinian state,” and considering that “peace between “Israel” and Palestine represents a key gateway to achieving comprehensive regional peace.”
This statement came during a press conference held on the sidelines of the high-level international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue, and the implementation of the two-state solution, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, according to Saudi channel Al-Akhbariya.
Al-Waie: Al Saud fear the rise of awareness in the Islamic Ummah, which no longer accepts anything less than all of Palestine and the liberation (tahrir) of all Muslim lands from the grip of the Jews and Western collaborators like the Al Saud and others. They rush to seek Western approval for a pseudo- “Palestinian” state on a small part of Palestine, politically and militarily subordinate to the Jewish entity.
Death of Syrian Detainee Osama al-Jaour in Roumieh Prison, Lebanon
On Wednesday 13 August, Syrian detainee Osama al-Jaour, originally from the city of Al-Qusayr in rural Homs, died inside Roumieh Prison in Lebanon. According to prison sources, al-Jaour endured harsh detention conditions, and deliberate medical neglect, which led to the deterioration of his health and ultimately his death.
Al-Jaour had been arrested in Lebanon due to his support for and participation in the Syrian revolution, despite not engaging in any activity in Lebanon, the country he sought refuge in after his hometown Al-Qusayr in Homs was captured in 2012, its residents fully displaced, and occupied by Lebanese Hezbollah.
Following his arrest, he was transferred between multiple security branches in Lebanon, where he was subjected to severe torture. In 2019, a Lebanese judge sentenced him to life imprisonment. Subsequently, he was tortured to the point of losing his mental faculties, placed in solitary confinement, left untreated as his health deteriorated, and eventually died.
Al-Waie: This is the fate of the oppressed, who find no protector among the people in states that neither fear Allah (swt) nor value human dignity or moral principles, and do not even respect their own laws, nor the human rights charters and prisoner rights conventions they have signed. Adding to this is the sectarian discrimination of Lebanon’s abhorrent sectarian system, where sectarian loyalties dictate the decisions of politicians, security officials, and judges. The only escape from this is the implementation of Allah’s Shariah Law, which does not discriminate in protection or justice among people based on their religion, sect, or ethnicity.
China Deepens the Genocide Against the Uyghurs!
China recently held a meeting to discuss strengthening its occupation in East Turkestan and intensifying research related to the so-called “Xinjiang Management Measures” that have been implemented in recent years. The meeting took place this week in Urumqi, organized by the “Social Sciences Association of the Uyghur Autonomous Region” and Xinjiang University.
According to a report from the Chinese media agency Tanritag in East Turkestan, the annual theoretical meeting on the so-called “Xinjiang Management Measures” was held on 20 August in Urumqi, organized by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. Deputy Director of the Eighth Office of the United Front Work Department of the CCP Central Committee, Hu Lianhe, presented a report on the Chinese regime’s activities in managing and monitoring East Turkestan. Several Chinese experts also spoke on topics such as “cultural nourishment” and others.
The report noted that during the preparation period for this meeting, universities, party schools, and research centers in China and East Turkestan received open scientific papers. A total of 590 scientific papers related to the so-called “Xinjiang Management Measures” were submitted, of which 57 were selected for discussion at the meeting, and certificates of appreciation were awarded to the authors.
Recently, China has been working more seriously to strengthen the theoretical foundations of its occupation, and its undertaking of genocide in East Turkestan, having established several consecutive research centers in recent months. Among these, on 1st of August, Shuanghe City of the Fifth Production and Construction Corps in Xinjiang signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, announcing the establishment of the “Border Area Management Institute of the Fifth Corps of the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences.” In April of this year, the Politics and Law University affiliated with the Xinjiang Police established the “Xinjiang Law Management Institute” at the Xinjiang Police Training Center.
Al-Waie: China gives its systematic crimes of exterminating the Uyghur Muslims in East Turkestan a scientific and academic façade. If Muslims had a state of their own that defended their causes, would China dare to commit such atrocities, acts rarely matched in history?!
