O Muslims: Do Not Accept America as a Mediator,
For it is not impartial; rather, it is a party to the conflict!
(Translated)

On January 15, an agreement was reached to halt the war on Gaza between the Jewish entity and the Hamas movement. This agreement came into effect on January 19 of the same month and was brokered by three countries: America, Egypt, and Qatar. Since that time until today, the Jewish entity has committed numerous violations of this agreement and has failed to fulfill many of its obligations, as is customary for the Jews in their treachery and breaking of covenants and agreements.

This prompted Hamas and the parties fighting alongside it to threaten not to hand over the Jewish prisoners agreed to be released on Saturday, February 16, unless the Jewish entity fully complies with all the agreed-upon terms. This threat was issued five days before the scheduled release date to give the mediators an opportunity to pressure the Jewish entity into fulfilling its commitments. However, U.S. President Donald Trump responded by threatening to unleash hell on Gaza and its people if Hamas did not release all the prisoners by noon on Saturday. This threat was voiced by Trump himself and several American officials, despite the fact that they were supposed to act as mediators in the agreement. Several officials from the Jewish entity also adopted this threat.

Now, the question arises: Is it acceptable for a mediator to issue threats to one of the parties to the agreement, thereby exceeding its role as a neutral intermediary and instead becoming a party to the conflict?

The undeniable truth is that America is a party to the conflict, not a mediator. It is the staunch ally of the Jewish entity, the one that supplied it with the weapons and ammunition used to destroy Gaza and exterminate its people. It has provided political cover for its crimes and continues to do so. It is America that advocates for the displacement of Gaza’s residents to Egypt, Jordan, and other places, openly declaring its intention to take control of Gaza after emptying it of its people to establish its own economic projects. It is also America that has deployed its aircraft carriers and naval military forces to the region, fearing any sincere movement from the armies of the Muslims.

All of this has exposed America as the primary and greatest enemy of the Islamic Ummah, with the Jewish entity serving merely as one of its tools in this hostility, aimed at preventing the unity of the Ummah and the establishment of its Khilafah (Caliphate).

After all this, can Muslims still accept America as a mediator in any agreement between them and their enemies? Can they expect their greatest enemy, America, to be an impartial mediator who safeguards their rights?

Be aware, O Muslims! Be cautious, O Mujahideen! Do not allow America, the head of Kufr to be a mediator between you and your enemies. Rather, recognize it as the enemy and beware of it. Do not make it the guarantor of your rights, for it is the very force behind the division of your lands, supporting your treacherous rulers, plundering your wealth, and using the Jewish entity as a spearhead in the heart of your lands—providing it with all means of survival, strength, and dominance over you.
