France and Qatar will work together to send humanitarian aid to Gaza that includes 10 ambulances and more than 300 tents for Palestinian refugees. The two countries have sent a large amount of food, medicine and other items that refugees greatly need to the Palestinian enclave. Tod...

نافالني في زمن بيريا إن الموت العنيف للمعارض الروسي أليكسي نافالني، مع هالة البطل المعروف عالميًا، يظهر مرة أخرى أن النظام الذي يطبقه فلاديمير بوتين يشير إلى جمود يذكرنا بالأوقات الصعبة التي عاشها الاتحاد السوفييتي. وبطبيعة الحال، لم يكن بوتين الذراع المنفذ لجريمة قتل نافالني، لكنه ليس معفى من الذنب في هذه الجريمة. ويبدو أن كل شيء يشير إلى الدائرة الأولى من الموالين للرئيس الروسي، والتي تتكون من عملاء من مختلف الأجهزة السرية، إلى جانب مجموعة من السياسيين الذين لديهم، بطريقتهم الخاصة، مهمة حمايته. وتعتقد والدة نافالني وزوجته أن بوتين هو من يقع على قمة هذا الهرم، ولا يمكن أن يكون الأمر خلاف ذلك. ومن المؤكد أيضًا أن هذه الدائرة الأولى من المؤمنين مسؤولة أيضًا عن مقتل ألكسندر ليتفينينكو، وهو فار من المخابرات الفيدرالية الروسية (كان سابقًا من الكي جي بي، مثل بوتين، حيث تعرض للتسمم في لندن؛ ويفغيني بريجوزين، مؤسس مجموعة فاغنر للمرتزقة). الذي توفي في كارثة الطائرة التي كانت تقله إلى سانت بطرسبرغ. كل هذا جزء من سياق واضح على نحو متزايد، حيث يبدو بوتين مهتما بتطور روسيا، على نطاق أضيق بطبيعة ال...

                                                                    THE WAR OF HUNGER The war in Gaza is a horror that cries out to the conscience of human beings. One of its most miserable aspects is the hunger suffered by the population due to the blockade of humanitarian aid that Israel maintains in the Palestinian enclave. The Jewish forces only allow aid to enter in quantities smaller than the needs of the population. Civilians die in bombings and shooting from “Markava” armored cars, but they can also die from these attacks while waiting in line to receive some rice or some bread. It is the war of hunger imposed by Netanyahu and his genocidal government. There is no reason to deprive women and children of a little food. In Gaza people die from bombs and also from hunger. A meeting of mediators from Egypt, Qatar, J...

                                                  RAPE AND MURDER OF WOMEN IN GAZA The “great democratic country,” as Israel calls itself, has committed rape and murder of Palestinian women in Gaza, according to reports by United Nations experts, released this week. Israel accused Hamas of raping Jewish women in the October 7 attack. Reality shows that it is the Tsahal forces that have carried out many more rapes of Palestinian women, whom they have then cruelly murdered. This is the Israel that exudes so much propaganda to convince international public opinion that it is not guilty of any crime. But not only does it have it, but it practices genocide on the civilian population. More than 29,000 people have already died, most of them women and children, in the bombings Latin America has risen up against the genocide. After the accusations made by the president of ...

                                                    THE THREATS OF WAR CRIMINAL, NETANYAHU A few weeks before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a threat against the Palestinian people of Gaza, signaling that he will launch a ground offensive on Rafah if Hamas does not release the hostages still in their possession. In Rafah there are 1.4 million Palestinian civilians who have taken refuge in that border area with Egypt, fleeing the bombings by the Israeli air force, although in recent days these bombings have extended to Rafah itself. The United States, which has called on Netanyahu to spare civilians, maintains its veto of a ceasefire in the UN Security Council. In recent days, the White House has said that it could support an end to Israeli attacks “as soon as possible,” a phrase that does not clar...

                                          THE REASON IS WITH PRESIDENT LULA Just as the South African government did, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has compared the war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza to a Genocide similar to the one Hitler committed against the Jews during the Second World War. “What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people existed when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” said the Brazilian president in a statement during the African summit taking place in Addis Ababa, where he was attending as a guest. Immediately, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katzs called Lula “an anti-Semite,” adding that he considered him a “non grata” person in the Jewish state. But who can doubt that the words of the president of Brazil are fair? The genocidaire, Netanyahu, has given the Hamas movement the remaining days until the holy month of Ramad...

                                                                 A GENOCIDAL CRAZY Netanyahu is not crazy. In any case he is a genocidal madman. And he has demonstrated it again by stating this Saturday that he will maintain his decision to invade Rafah even at the cost of another massacre of civilians. More than a million Palestinians remain refugees in this area bordering Egypt. What can we expect from this war criminal? Just death and destruction and an obsession with eliminating the Hamas movement and opposing the creation of an independent Palestinian state. Turkish President Racip Erdogan is quite right when he compares him to Hitler. Without heeding the calls of governments and personalities around the world, the Israeli Prime Minister affirms that "those who call for a ceasefire are telling us to give up this war." ...

                                                    CONDEMNING ISRAEL IS NOT ANTI-SEMITISM For the first time since its creation in 1948, Israel is being criticized and condemned in a wide range of countries for its disproportionate response to the terrorist attack committed by Hamas on October 7, in which 1,200 people were murdered and others taken prisoner. 220. The response of the extremist government, Netanyahu, to these condemnations is to accuse their authors of anti-Semitism. Every time the Hebrew state is subjected to criticism, it always responds with the hackneyed argument of the enemies of the Semitic peoples. The entire world is fed up with the willingness of Jewish leaders to repeat the same absolutely invalid argument over and over again, because what is currently being condemned is Israel's genocide and war crimes in Gaza. Was it anti-Semitism ...

                                                THE HORRIBLE MURDER OF A FAMILY IN RAFAH We know that the genocide practiced by Israel in Gaza has no limits, but there are cases that surpass the horror and bloodthirsty disregard for life of the Tsahal forces. T he murder in Rafah of a 6-year-old girl, along with her family, is proof that the Jewish state intends to eliminate the people of the Palestinian enclave. T he entire world has been shaken by the death of this family, in particular the girl, Hind Rajab, her family were taking refuge in a car when several Israeli tanks launched missiles at them. There is an audio from the Palestinian Red Crescent in which the Rajab family distressfully asks for help: “They are bombing us; we cannot flee; We are going to die if you don't help us,” they say desperately. The lament of a 15-year-old girl, Layan Hamada, Hind's cousin,...

                                                         EUROPE MUST PREPARE FOR WAR European countries must take into account the possibility of a war breaking out with Russia on the old continent. This alarming forecast is not that of somewhat foolish analysts, but that of defense ministers and chiefs of staff of the European armies. Therefore, it must be taken into account. At the base of this disturbing prediction is the conviction that Ukraine is going to lose the war. Not only because Vladimir Putin said it in his long interview with the American journalist, Tucker Carlson, but because the Europeans now seriously believe that Zelensky will end up surrendering to the overwhelming majority of the Russian forces. There is, according to Europe's top military leaders, very little chance of negotiating an end to the conflict between Moscow and ...

                                                       ISRAEL: A GENOCIDE WITHOUT LIMITS Israel is preparing to invade the Rafah region, bordering Egypt, in a new sign that the Jewish leader. Netanyahu is willing to carry out unlimited genocide. More than a million Palestinian civilians have taken refuge in Rafah fleeing bombings in the Gaza enclave. In recent days, attacks in the south with bombs and missiles have increased. Netanyahu is trying to evacuate civilians, but it is not known where he wants to take them as Egypt insists that Gazans must remain on its territory. The United States and the rest of the Western countries maintain that the Palestinians should not be exiled. The president, Biden, considers that Israel's bombings are “excessive” but does not prevent them from continuing. It is the demonstration of complicity with the genocidal ...

                      NETANYAHU: REJECTION OF PEACE AND GREATER HARSHNESS IN CRIMES The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has once again demonstrated his condition as a rabid genocidaire, by rejecting a peace project presented by the radical group Hamas, which would have allowed the release of the hostages who remain imprisoned. The president, Joe Biden, had already said that with Netanyahu there will be no possibility of reaching a ceasefire in Gaza due to the implacable character of the Jewish leader, supported by a radical government that practices apartheid with the Palestinian population. Netanyahu's statement coincides with the presence of Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the Middle Eastern region, which means that his fifth trip to this area will end in failure. As long as the US does not put real pressure on the hardliner, Netanyahu, the genocide will continue in Gaza and the bombings will continue killing hu...

  RIYADH'S FIRM POSITION ON ISRAEL AND GAZA Saudi Arabia has decided not to reestablish diplomatic relations with Israel until an independent Palestinian state can be established, according to an official statement broadcast by the official SPA news agency. At the same time, Riyadh has demanded that Israel stop its aggression against Gaza's civilian population and withdraw its military forces, which would contribute to a ceasefire that would allow the release of hostages still held by Hamas. These decisions are the work of the Crown Prince, Mohamed Bin Salman, who in this way clearly reinforces his status as a key figure in the solution of conflicts in the Middle East. Muslims around the world appreciate the courage and steadfastness of Prince Bin Salman, especially considering that Saudi Arabia is the custodian of the two holiest sites in Islam. Recognizing Israel would constitute an action that could be criticized against the faith of the Islamic community. Prince Bin Salman,...

                                       ARAB EMIRATES COMMIT SERIOUS POLITICAL MISTAKE The United Arab Emirates (UAE) have taken the same path as Saudi Arabia regarding the former Spanish colony of Western Sahara, by admitting that it is part of Morocco, which constitutes a violation of international law and the position of the United Nations. Western Sahara is a non-autonomous territory that has never belonged to Morocco. The UN supports a decolonization process based on a referendum that Rabat refuses to accept. The Sahrawi people have, therefore, the right to say what they want to say through an internationally verified consultation. Morocco relies on traditional friendships with other monarchies and Arab emirates to receive support that is incompatible with legality. The United States also agreed to consider the colony as part of Morocco during the presidency of Donald Trump. The Unite...

                                DRONES HAVE CHANGED THE ART OF WAR Before drones existed, aeronautics fans dedicated themselves to flying small propeller planes, perfect and reduced-scale copies of those that really existed during the two world wars. These planes were not simple toys, but something much more sophisticated. They had small piston engines, a small gasoline tank and were controlled with remote controls. They became very popular from the 60s onwards. Their owners organized competitions and people came to see them. Chronologically, the first drone appeared during the Second World War, produced in the United States. They called it “Queen Bees” and 15,000 units were produced. They could launch small bombs and a torpedo. A thousand of them were used in Nazi Germany and Japan by American forces. However, they were much less effective than the German V-1 and V-2, which were not really drones but flying...

                                      WHEN THEY ASK QATAR FOR MONEY It is known that the monarchies and emirates of the Gulf receive requests for help to finance projects that, in some cases, undoubtedly have a certain legitimacy, but in other cases they lack it at all. ARABINFOCUS has requested help to develop this digital newspaper and continue reporting on the reality of the Gaza war, Israel's criminal aggressions and the rights of the Palestinian people. It is a legitimate request that is framed in the right to real information without propaganda. The French newspaper “Le Canard” publishes this week the case of the current Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, known as an important “influencer” in the political and diplomatic circles of Paris. Rachida Dati, of Moroccan origin, requested the sum of 400,000 euros (431,000 US dollars) from the Emirate of Qatar to finance a supposed “Association ...
