The Abduction of Members (Shabab) of Hizb ut Tahrir in Beirut to Deter Them from Opposing “Direct and Indirect Negotiations” and Any Normalization of Relations between the Lebanese State and the Jewish Entity
On Friday, October 17, 2025, after Jumaah prayer in the Tariq al-Jdideh area of Beirut, two Shabab from Hizb ut Tahrir /Wilayah Lebanon were arrested while they were distributing a statement condemning the continued Jewish aggression against Lebanon and accusing the authorities of pursuing normalization.
According to a press release issued by the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Lebanon, individuals on motorcycles, described as belonging to an official security agency, arrested Hassan Abdel Hadi and Salah Daoud in front of the Imam Ali Mosque and took them away without presenting any arrest warrant or legal document.
The Hizb considered what happened “a return to the approach and actions of arbitrary arrests” and evidence of “the continuation of the same security apparatus' approach, despite some changes in its faces,” questioning whether the new era in Lebanon would uphold its promises of “establishing a state of law” or continue with “the same old methods.” Hizb ut Tahrir affirmed in its press release that these measures “will continue to confront the Jewish aggression against Lebanon and its people, and will confront any manifestation of normalization or surrender to America's project.”
The Hizb concluded its statement by demanding that the Lebanese authorities immediately release the two detainees, asserting that it “will not accept being an easy target for the encroachment of the security apparatus, which ignore those who threaten the peace of Lebanon and its people with the logic of physical force, then come to bully those who raise their voices with words, arguments, and political action.”
Al-Waie Magazine: Despite the subsequent release of the two Shabab, the Lebanese state is moving towards consolidating what it calls the “exclusive power to decide on war and peace” in the hands of the state, including silencing voices of truth that insist on treating the enemy as an enemy, referring to the Jewish entity. The painful truth remains that the decision for war and peace is still in the hands of America, not in the hands of the officials of the rulers of Muslim countries.
The Al-Jolani Government Is Pressuring “Foreign Fighters,” According to the Syrian National League of Ignorance, With the Aim of “Later Deporting Them” in Compliance with Orders from Western Countries, Including the US and France.
The recent clashes in the Idlib countryside between a French-backed armed group, “Firqat al-Ghuraba” (The Strangers), and Syrian government forces have brought one of the most complex and controversial issues in the new Syrian landscape back into focus.
In the Harem region of northern Idlib, the clashes were not an isolated security incident, but rather appeared to be a test of Damascus’s policies toward the thousands of foreign fighters who remained in Syria after years of war.
It seems clearer that these recent events mark the beginning of a serious engagement with the issue of “foreign fighters,” bringing it back to the forefront, after the nascent Syrian state had made significant progress in building trust with the international community regarding preventing foreigners from assuming leadership positions in the new Syrian army. The story began on October 22, when Internal Security Forces went to a camp in the town of Harem, north of Idlib, where French fighters led by Omar Diaby, also known as Omar Omsen, were residing. The operation was launched in response to complaints of serious violations, including the kidnapping of a girl by a group led by Diaby, who refused to surrender. According to the official account, the aim was to enforce the law and impose state authority on the camp.
However, Omar Diaby, the French leader of the “Firqat al-Ghuraba” of African origin, denied the accusations, accusing French intelligence of orchestrating what he described as a politically motivated attack. Paris considers Diaby one of the key figures responsible for recruiting French-speaking jihadists, while Washington designated him a global terrorist in 2016. The battle ended with a reconciliation meeting mediated by leaders of Uzbek, Tajik, and Turkestani factions in the Harem camp. Firqat al-Ghuraba announced on its Telegram channel that it had reached a ceasefire agreement and thanked “our brothers, the Muhajireen and Ansar, who trusted us.”
Firqat al-Ghuraba comprises approximately 70 French fighters living with their families inside a fortified camp directly on the Turkish border. This made it more difficult for security forces to storm the camp, after armed clashes that ended with a six-point agreement brokered through the joint efforts of several foreign fighter leaders. The agreement stipulated a ceasefire, opening the camp to the government, referring Omar Diaby’s case to the Shariah courts within the Ministry of Justice, withdrawing heavy weapons, and guaranteeing immunity from prosecution for those involved in the clashes.
The number of foreign fighters is estimated at over five thousand, the majority of whom joined the Ministry of Defense’s 84th Division. The Syrian government faces pressure from Western capitals to remove them from senior positions, while simultaneously adopting a rhetoric aimed at reassuring the world that these fighters pose no threat to regional or global security and stability.
According to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the fighters who fought with the opposition are now part of the new society, and Syria will deal with them in a spirit of reconciliation, not exclusion. A number of them have already received military ranks and official positions in the army, a practical application of the policy of “containment.” Notably, official statements from within the military establishment have confirmed that the Harem incident does not represent a change in this policy.
Al-Waie Magazine: Following al-Jolani’s meeting with Macron in France in May 2025, there was talk of “repatriating the French” present in Syria. The scenario does not appear to be outside this context, and even if there were excesses by fighters, it is highly likely that al-Jolani was ready to trade the Muslim fighters from France for cheap and despicable purposes, especially since they had become a burden on his state, which adopted rotten nationalism in compliance with the orders of the colonialist masters.
Iran Sells Out Its Militant Hezb in Lebanon
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem reiterated that the group will not relinquish its weapons.
In a speech on Tuesday 11 November 2025, he added that the ceasefire agreement included an acceptable price for them: the deployment of the Lebanese army and the state's readiness to assume its responsibilities after the group had acted on its behalf for 42 years, as he put it.
He also announced that Hezbollah recognizes the ceasefire agreement only south of the Litani River.
He asserted that “Israel” must withdraw from Lebanon and release the prisoners in exchange for a guarantee that the northern settlements will not be threatened.
He further emphasized that there will be no replacement for the existing ceasefire agreement, nor any new agreement, clarifying his readiness to open an internal discussion, after the implementation of the old agreement’s terms, regarding Lebanon’s strength and sovereignty without any external interference.
He said, “we are facing a real existential danger, hence our right to take all necessary measures to protect ourselves.”
Lebanese Government: Weapons Only in the Hands of the State
Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated that his government's goal is to rebuild the Lebanese state.
This came after Salam reiterated on 7/11/2025 the necessity of ensuring that weapons are exclusively in the hands of the state. During a panel discussion at the Lebanon Technology and Artificial Intelligence Summit, he stated that “there is Arab and international political support for a complete ‘Israeli’ withdrawal and a cessation of aggression” against the country.
He also emphasized that “the state has regained the decision on war and peace,” in response to Hezbollah’s announcement on 6/11/2025 rejecting negotiations between Lebanon and “Israel.”
On Thursday, 6/11/2025, Hezbollah addressed an open letter to President Joseph Aoun, the Prime Minister, and Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, declaring its rejection of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel. Hezbollah asserted that “Lebanon is not currently interested in negotiating with ‘Israel,’ but rather in halting the aggression.”
The Hezb’s stance came after Aoun repeatedly declared his country's readiness to negotiate with the “Israeli” side to resolve outstanding issues. However, he clarified that “Israel” had responded to calls for negotiations by escalating its attacks on southern Lebanon.
It is worth noting that US envoy Tom Barrack urged Lebanon on Saturday, 1/11/2025, in Manama to engage in direct negotiations with “Israel.”
The Sudanese Military Leadership is Implementing American Projects by Planning to Further Divide Sudan
After the fall of El Fasher to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), attention is now turning to El Obeid, a city that could determine Sudan's fate. While El Fasher demonstrated the RSF's ability to achieve decisive victories on the ground despite the heavy human cost, El Obeid will reveal whether the army can halt this expansion, or whether the country is indeed heading towards a division that can no longer be ignored.
Al-Waie Magazine: Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan issued a leaflet dated 18 Safar 1447 AH, corresponding to Tuesday, 12 August 2025 CE, stating the following: “America is proceeding in its separation of the Darfur region in the same manner that it followed in its separation of South Sudan. In Darfur, it inherited the legacy of armed groups created by the British and Europeans, which paved the way for the separation process through armed rebellion against the state, talk of grievances, claims of marginalization, social injustice, and regional and ethnic demands for power and wealth. This is just as it did in South Sudan, where it brought John Garang and his men, and placed them at the head of the rebel groups created by the British and Europeans, and pushed them into armed rebellion against the state for decades! Now America is repeating the same scene in the Darfur region, placing its spoiled son, the Rapid Support Forces, at the head of the armed movements of Darfur, to separate Darfur with its own men, not with the men of the British and Europeans who had previously created the rebellion against America's man (Omar al-Bashir).”
Al-Jolani Seeks Saudi Regime Support and the So-Called Vision 2030 to Inject Funds into Investment Projects in Syria
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa affirmed that the Saudi Kingdom, under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is Syria’s key to the world. This came during a session attended by the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Salman, at the Future Investment Initiative 2025 (FII9) conference, titled "Prospects for a New Syria."
During the session, al-Sharaa stated that the Kingdom has become the economic hub of the region, which is suffering economically, a situation linked to national and strategic security.
He explained that his visit to the Saudi Kingdom, his first foreign trip since assuming office, underscores his understanding of Saudi Arabia’s importance in rebuilding and addressing Syria's challenges. He pointed to 14 years of Syria’s failure as a troubled state plagued by crises on various levels, most notably the spread of Captagon, a highly addictive amphetamine, and illegal immigration, which has impacted the world. He explained that if the Syrian state succeeds, the world will gain a strategically important position as the gateway to the East, in addition to its diverse human resources and significant economic diversification. Damascus has begun a new chapter with the world by accelerating economic and political integration with the support of countries that are friendly to Syria, foremost among them the Saudi Kingdom.

Germany Attempts to Halt Influential Carrying of Dawah in Germany
Germany banned the Islamic association “Muslim Interaktiv (Interactive)” on Wednesday (5/11/2025), announcing the confiscation of its assets and conducting searches at two other Islamic associations.
According to a statement from the German Interior Ministry, seven properties in Hamburg and twelve in Berlin and the state of Hesse were searched as part of preliminary investigations into the associations “Generation Islam” and “Realität Islam (Reality Islam).”
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said in the statement, “We will respond with the full force of the law to anyone who aggressively calls for a caliphate on our streets, incites hatred against the state of Israel and Jews in an intolerable manner, and despises the rights of women and minorities.”
At a demonstration organized by “Muslim Interaktiv” on April 27, banners were displayed reading “The Khilafah (Caliphate) is the Solution.” Speeches delivered at the demonstration called for the establishment of a Khilafah (Caliphate) as a solution to social problems in Muslim countries. The organization Muslim Interaktiv was on the German security authorities' watch list. Founded in 2020, the organization is considered close to Hizb ut-Tahrir, which has been banned since 2003. In July 2024, Germany banned the Islamic Center in Hamburg and raided its branches, describing its mission as “unconstitutional” and claiming that the center and its affiliated organizations support Hezbollah and “spread aggressive antisemitism.”
Al-Waie Magazine: This new decision comes after the German parliament, the Bundestag, rejected a ban on Muslim Interaktiv’s activities in May and June 2024 by a majority vote. The decision was then suddenly issued in November 2025 by the Ministry of the Interior, disregarding all the supposed values of democracy and the previous actions of the Bundestag. It seems to aim to limit public and mass street activities, as well as limit influence through social media networks such as TikTok, YouTube, and others, and to silence any voice against the Jewish entity, which is responsible for massacres and is pampered by the West.
