Press Release
The Egyptian Regime Harnesses Egypt, its Army and Its Ports to Protect, Support and Supply the Usurping Entity!
(Translated)

A press report by Arabi Post revealed that five Egyptian seaports have turned into main stations for many cargo and cement ships, whose mission was mainly limited to transporting cargo periodically to and from the occupation during the war on Gaza. According to the report, the activity of 19 ships was monitored for several months, and the sea route of these ships, including Egyptian ships, was tracked through special maritime data, which was limited to moving back and forth between ‘Israeli’ ports and Egyptian ports. These 19 ships are among dozens of ships, but their activity was limited to moving back and forth between Egypt and the occupation, due to the geographical proximity, especially the port of Ashdod and the port of Haifa, which reduces the cost of shipping. The report concludes that it tracked seven ports, two of which are subject to the ‘Israeli’ occupation and five Egyptian ports, which are:

Ashdod, Haifa, Port Said, Abu Qir, Alexandria, Dekheila, and Damietta. The tracking period for ship activity was limited to the last three months (June, July, and until August 22, 2024), where ships varied between 7 cargo ships for transporting containers of goods, 6 for transporting cement, 5 general cargo ships, and one for transporting bulk goods, i.e. unpackaged goods such as coal, sugar, and grains.

The Egyptian regime does not hide its ugly face; it does not even take a neutral stance on the issue of Palestine and its people, but rather it is a partner supporting the usurping entity, guarding its borders from the wrath of Egypt, its people and its army, which the regime has shackled with treasonous agreements and bridled with oppression, subjugation, humiliation and bribery. Palestine is a Kharaj (taxable) land belonging to the entire Ummah, not to the people of Palestine, and it is not permissible for them or anyone else to give up even one inch of it. Rather, liberating it is a duty on the entire Ummah, the closest followed by the closest; it is most obligatory on the surrounding countries in general and Egypt and its army in particular, so what happens if Egypt besieged it?!

The Jewish entity is usurping the land of Islam, violating the sanctities of the Ummah and desecrating its sanctities. It has shed the blood of our people in the Blessed Land. Its reality is that it is an aggressor, occupying the land of Islam, and we must mobilize to repel it and mobilize the armies for that purpose. The reality of our people in the blessed land that has been occupied is that of prisoners, so they are not obligated to repel the enemy, even if it is permissible for them to do so. Ibn Abidin said in his scripts (3/238): “And it is an individual obligation if the enemy attacks one of the borders of Islam, then it becomes an individual obligation on whoever is close to it. As for those behind them at a distance from the enemy, then it is a communal obligation if they are not needed. If they are needed, such that those who are close to the enemy are unable to resist the enemy, or they are not unable to do so, but they are lazy and do not fight, then it is an individual obligation for those who are next to them, like prayer and fasting, and they cannot abandon them. And the following and the following, until it is obligatory for all the people of Islam, east and west, in this gradual manner.” Al-Kasani issued a fatwa similar to this (Badai’ al-Sanai’ [7/72]), Ibn Nujaym (Al-Bahr Al-Ra’iq [5/191]), and Ibn Al-Humam (Fath Al-Qadir [5/191]). It is stated in (Al-Mughni) by Ibn Qudamah: “Jihad is obligatory if the kuffar descend upon a country, its people must fight and repel them. (Al-Mughni [8/345]). Ibn Taymiyyah says: “If the enemy enters the lands of Islam, there is no doubt that it is obligatory to repel them by the closest, then the closest, since the lands of Islam are all like a single country, and it is obligatory to mobilize to them without the permission of a parent or creditor, and the texts of Ahmad are explicit about this” (Al-Fatawa Al-Kubra) [4/608].

Now the Jews have usurped the lands of Islam, which belong to the Ummah. There is nothing more obligatory than repelling them and uprooting them from the land of Islam, liberating all of Palestine and supporting its people completely. It is not permissible to consider them a neighbouring country and there are no borders between us and them, in addition to what the Egyptian regime is doing in besieging them and participating with the Jews in starving and killing them, and preventing and suppressing anyone who tries to support them even with a word! Any dealing with this usurping entity is a betrayal of Allah, His Messenger, His Deen, and the entire Islamic Ummah, and abandoning its causes and land, and enabling the Jews to take control of it, which is not acceptable to the Shariah or the Ummah.

This entity is in reality an advanced Western base and a dagger stuck in the side of the Ummah, to prevent its unity and prevent it from regaining its authority again. The Egyptian regime supports it with all kinds of support and fulfills all the desires of the kafir West that supports and sponsors this pariah entity. It is a regime that is separate from the Ummah; it stands on the side of its enemy, and it is innocent of it and its actions, treaties and agreements.

We are not surprised by the position of the regime, but we are surprised by the silence of the sincere in the army of Egypt (Al-Kinana), whom we know that they have goodness in them and they get angry for the sake of Allah and His sanctities. Have they not seen what this regime is doing?! If they justify themselves today, what will be their justifications before Allah on the Day of Judgment?!

O Soldiers of Egypt (Al-Kinana): Allah (swt) will not hold you accountable on the basis of your patriotism or Egyptian identity, but you will be held accountable on the basis of your commitment to Islam, its creed and its rulings. You will be asked about the blood of the people of Palestine that is being shed and their land that is being usurped. Liberating it is the most obligatory thing for you, for you are the closest, the strongest and the most capable. Your failure to support them and liberate their land is an unforgivable crime. By Allah this regime will not benefit you even if it gave you the earth full of gold. One dip in the fire of Hell will make the person say, “I have never seen bliss!” Know that what the regime gives you is bribery and ill-gotten gains, and everything that grows from ill-gotten gains, Hell is more deserving of it. So, ward off the fire of Hell from yourselves and your families, and disavow this regime, its filth and its treachery, and declare your anger for the sake of Allah, one that will uproot the regime from its roots. Remove its clutches and those of the West from your necks. Place your hands in the hands of the sincere sons of your Ummah who work to implement Islam, so that the Ummah will regain its authority once again in the Islamic state. The Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, may Allah decree it for you so that you may have glory in this world and honour in the Hereafter. O Allah, restore to us the Islamic State, its authority and its law so that we may enjoy its shade once again.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ]

“O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah stands between a person and their heart, and that to Him you will all be gathered” [Al-Anfal: 24].
