  SPAIN: PEDRO SANCHEZ REFUSES TO RESIGN FROM HIS POSITION In an institutional statement addressed to the Spanish people, the president, Pedro Sánchez, has reported that he will continue to govern despite the fact that he feels “beaten” by the accusations of embezzlement that are being examined by Justice. For five days, Sánchez had ceased his activities as head of the government, stating that he needed a “pause of reflection” of several days to decide whether he would continue governing or leave his position. The origin of the problem was the complaint made by a right-wing political union, called “Clean Hands”, against Sánchez's wife, accused of embezzlement and corruption. The complaint was accepted by a Madrid magistrate, which caused a political commotion. Pedro Sánchez assured today that both he and his wife, Begoña, “are prepared and willing to fight these accusations” which, in his opinion, are slanderous. However, Justice will continue the judicial process opened to clarify...

                         USA: STUDENT REVOLUTION IN FAVOR OF GAZA Universities in the United States have risen up in a series of demonstrations in favor of the Palestinian people of Gaza, while demanding that rectorates break their relations with Israeli educational centers. The demonstrations do not stop. They began at the University of Clumbia and the last to be associated with the demonstrations was that of George Washington in the federal capital. These actions remind us of the great uprisings against the Vietnam War in years past. The North American police have already arrested a hundred university students, but they do not stop the protests. They have set up tents on campuses where they spend the nights amid chants and protests. There is no doubt that this action by the university students is not going to bring down the president, Joe Biden, who is opposed to the students, but at least they are a cry addressed to the...

                                          GAZA: TWO MEN OF GREAT HONOR Israel has always boasted of being the “only” democratic and liberal country in the Middle East. Everyone else could not compete with the democracy of the Jewish people. But the Hebrew “great democrat” responded to the terrorist attack committed by Hamas on October 7 (an absolutely reprehensible attack) with a disproportionate military response, which accumulated war crimes until leading to a true genocide of the Palestinian civilian population. Gaza is today a field is ruined and more than 34,000 Palestinians have died under the bombing. But in this war, men of good will, of great honor, have emerged who strive to achieve a humanitarian pause that will allow, in a first step, the massacres to stop and all the hostages to be released.  These two men of great honor are called the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bi...

            INFORMATION ABOUT ARABINFOCUS   Arabinfocus is a digital media created by Othman Ostos.   I have worked as a journalist in Arab countries for 40 years (Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya) and I felt that my mind and heart were filled with the Islamic faith. I converted to Islam adopting the name of Othman, the third Caliph who established the definitive version of the sacred Quranic text.   When I retired and returned to Spain, with two Muslim journalists also of Spanish origin, we decided to create the media ARABINFOCUS to explain and confront the criticism, false interpretations and attacks that are made in the West against Islam. Also remember that since Al Andalus the Arabs were at the head of the world in medicine, astronomy, literature and other arts. But above all, explain and condemn the hatred, attacks and genocide practiced by the Zionist state of Israel against the Arabs.   The Gaza war shows us the war crimes ...

                                      A MASS GRAVE WITH 200 PALESTINIAN VICTIMS At least 200 bodies of deceased Palestinians were located this weekend in a mass grave after the Israeli armed forces withdrew from a medical complex in the town of Khan Younis, south of Gaza. The first conclusions of the Palestinian humanitarian services point to Tsahal (the Israeli forces) as the authors of that mass grave where civilians and, possibly, members of Hamas were buried during the weeks in which major clashes occurred in Khan Younis. Israeli forces withdrew from Khan Younis on April 7, allowing the search for Palestinian victims buried in mass graves to begin, something that may be part of the genocide that the Jewish state maintains in the martyred Palestinian enclave. This is another example of the horror caused in Gaza by Israel since October 8, one day after the terrorist attack carried out by th...

                                    IRAN REDUCES TENSION AFTER ISRAELI ATTACK The Islamic Republic of Iran has downplayed the attack carried out by Israel on Friday in the Isfahan region; in a gesture aimed at calming the existing tension in the Middle East. Tehran has signaled that it does not intend to respond in the form of retaliation. Iranian press sources indicate that Israel fired between 6 and 9 drones in Isfahan near nuclear facilities that are monitored by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA). Which revealed that no damage had been reported. Tehran, for its part, claims to have destroyed the Israeli drones (3 according to Iran) before they exploded on the ground. Israel accumulates war crimes and genocide in Gaza, but does not want to go to war with Iran despite the support it has from the United States and other Western powers. The American president, Joe Biden, was one of...

                                POSSIBLE RETALIATION BY ISRAEL AGAINST IRAN Israel could be responsible for the attack against an Iranian military base carried out this Friday near Isfahan which, according to authorized sources in Tehran, would only have caused damage to the facility without any casualties being reported at the moment. Iranian forces claim to have shot down three drones before they could launch their explosive charges. Iran, on the other hand, has indicated that it is not considering responding to this attack so as not to increase the tension that remains in the Middle East. He US, the UK and France all helped Israel counter Iranian missiles and drones during last weekend's attack. Israel’s military said “99%” of projectiles fired by Iran were intercepted by Israel and its partners, with only “a small number” of ballistic missiles reaching Israel. What seems most worrying are the signs that...

                                  THE DEVIL SERVES HIS PARTNERS We have long perceived that Israel is blessed by the devil. With this protection, the worst robberies are allowed to be carried out, knowing that the West still has a considerable reserve of regrets for not having known how to react as it should have to the Holocaust. Pope Pius XII did the same. He was aware of the atrocities of the Shoah, without making it known publicly. It is true that dealing with Mussolini was beyond his strength. All Jewish governments since 1948, when Israel regained its own territory, have allowed themselves to act unilaterally; Without asking anyone's permission, I contrast its expansionist character, full of violence, with the founding Charter of the United Nations. It is also true that the Arab countries made the mistake that they could, acting together, militarily defeat the Hebrew state and banish it again. Alr...

                  THE WEST CRITICIZES IRAN BUT IT RESOURCES TO THE UN CHARTER The United States and other Western countries have condemned Iran for attacking Israel with drones and missiles, in response to the terrorist attack that Jewish intelligence services launched against the Iranian embassy and consulatus in Damascus on April 1, which killed seven Iranians and six Syrians, including several seniors officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. As happens other times, the West condemns part of the aggression, but does not refer or does so veiled that its origin is Israel's responsibility for attacking Iran's diplomatic headquarters in the Syrian capital. Iran has defended its retaliation by invoking UN Article 51, which states that “no provision of this Charter shall impair the inherent right of self-defense, individual or collective, in the event of an armed attack against a member of the United Nations, until such time as "that the Sec...

                                                         ISRAEL BOMBS REFUGEE CAMPS AGAIN The crimes of the Zionist state accumulate day by day. The refugee camps, which should be respected according to the laws of war, are mercilessly bombed by the Hebrew genocists. The Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza has been attacked with bombs and missiles in recent days, causing at least 17 Palestinian deaths and hundreds of injuries. Among the injured are three journalists, one of them seriously. Sami Shehadeh, a journalist with Turkish TRT had his foot amputated after being wounded in the attack on Friday. Journalist, Sami Berhum, was also wounded. These war crimes are condemned internationally, but the criminal, Netanyahu, maintains the order to attack the camps and murder civilians and journalists, including children and women. In another attack in Ra...

   ISRAEL KILLS HANIYEH'S FAMILY The family got into a car, left the refugee camp where they lived and set out to visit other relatives and friends to celebrate the festival of Aid El Fitr, which ends the blessed month of Ramadan. When Aid arrives, Muslims take to the streets to visit each other. It is a tradition to congratulate each other and share some sweets, after having fasted for a whole month. But the Jewish war criminals were waiting for them. They launched one or two missiles at the car and the three children and three grandchildren of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh were destroyed. It was a crime similar to the murder of the seven aid workers who were serving meals to Gaza civilians. There are no words to condemn as it deserves the death of innocent children and young people who experience the suffering of the blockade and the constant bombings of the Palestinian enclave. But, Netanyahu and his allies have decided to eliminate any person or motive that has a c...

                                     EID MUBARAK We implore Almighty Allah to accept our fast and to fill us with His blessings and His Mercy for this blessed month of Ramadan which the Muslims are completing with devotion and generosity. arabinfocus: remember the religious duty of Zakat

                                             I SRAEL ISOLATED IN THE WORLD What is the reality that Israel maintains before the world due to the Gaza war? The reality is that the Jewish state is increasingly isolated in the world. The United States, its great ally, is beginning to severely criticize Prime Minister Netanyahu for failing to limit the massacre of Palestinian civilians. More than 33,000 have died in the terrible bombings by the Israeli armed forces. Israel calls Tsahal “defense forces.” Which is a total lie because what the Jewish forces do is murder civilians in bombings, even members of humanitarian organizations such as the 7 humanitarians from “World Central Kitchen.” Netanyahu said that the sending of missiles against the three cars in which the humanitarians were traveling “was not intentional.” False and miserable excuse of this war criminal. Hours later...

                              SPANISH PRESIDENT VISITS MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES After visiting Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, concluded his trip to the Middle East in Qatar, where he met with the Emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, and with the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Bin Jassim Al Thani. As he did on previous trips, Sánchez addressed the situation in Gaza and the day after the war between Israel and Hamas with the Qatari authorities. In this sense, the Spanish president reiterated his defense of the two-state solution and recalled his intention to recognize the Palestinian State. He also praised the mediation efforts being made by Qatar to end the war, especially to achieve a ceasefire, the entry of more humanitarian aid and the release of hostages. Likewise, he stressed that Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar...

                                          NETANYAHU AGAINST FREE TV AL JAZEERA The Israeli Parliament (Knesset) has massively approved a motion presented by Prime Minister Netanyahu, in which the Qatari free TV channel “Al Jazeera” is falsely accused of “serving terrorism.” An absolutely false accusation because “Al Jazeera” maintains a neutral reporting line on the Gaza war, and even presents Netanyahu's own statements and propaganda images made by the armed forces (Tsahal). But the rabid and war criminal, Netanyahu, who would like the Arab networks to be at the service of Israel, has no limits in his attacks against the international news media, in which the reality of a destroyed Gaza is presented, with more than 32,000 civilians killed in Israeli air raids. Even the president of the United States, Joe Biden, has stated that this ban on “Al Jazeera” is worrying because it attacks...
