THE SUMMITS OF RIYADH AND MECA

The Arab and Islamic countries gathered this week at three summits held in Riyadh and Mecca, reaffirmed their support for Saudi Arabia in the clash with Iran, which is accused of destabilizing the Middle East.
But what seems to be more important is that these countries stressed to support the cause of the Palestinian people and their right to have an independent State whose capital would be in the city of Jerusalem.
This support is important because it coincides with the efforts made by US President Donald Trump to defend his so-called "peace plan" in the Middle East. A plan that does not recognize the thesis of the two States, Irael and Palestine, living in peace side by side.
Since taking office, Trump has reversed the US position by aligning with Israel at levels never reached by previous US presidents. Trump, on the other hand, maintains that Israel must be consolidated as a segregationist state. The Palestinians would not be independent and the West Bank would officially become a colony of the Jewish state.
That is why the decisions of the Riyadh and Mecca summits are a very strong way of showing Washington that its peace plan would further aggravate the regional tension and give the Prime Minister, Netanyahu, a blank check to keep the Palestinians with the habits of a population without rights.
The former ambassador of France in the US, Gerad Araud, recently revealed that in a conversation with Trump, he told him: "I have given Netanyahu everything he has asked for; something will have to give me in return. " Well, no. Netanyahu does not have to make concessions because he knows that Trump will let him do whatever he wants.
And Araud knows what he's talking about when he compares the Trump administration "to the Court of Louis XIV." Trump is an unpredictable and uninformed old king, but he does and undoes as he comes in mind.
Every time the Palestinians have tried to have a new piece of autonomy, Israel has frontally opposed and undone such an idea. When the Palestinians inaugurated an airport in Gaza in 1998, which they named Yasser Arafat, the Israelis destroyed it in 2001 in response to the second Intifada. In any case, the airport was never in an operational phase because it needed the authorization of Israel.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
