Ben Gvir storms Al-Aqsa and performs Talmudic rituals on the anniversary of the Temple's destruction
On Sunday, Ben Gvir stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by a large number of settlers. He performed Talmudic rituals and led a provocative march of settlers, accompanied by Knesset member Amit Halevi from the Likud party. The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem stated that about 1,251 settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, performed Talmudic rituals, dances, and screams, which filled the mosque. It is noteworthy that the extremist Ben Gvir led, after midnight, a provocative march to the Old City in occupied Jerusalem, on the occasion of the so-called "anniversary of the Temple's destruction." Extremist colonial Temple organizations called for a large-scale storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, coinciding with what is called in the Torah narrative the "anniversary of the Temple's destruction."
The entity of the distorted Jews and its servants are still persistent in slaughtering the children of the Islamic nation, desecrating its holy sites, and insulting them in Gaza and all of Palestine. And its treacherous rulers, instead of mobilizing huge armies, complain about the injustice and massacres that the nation is exposed to to the United Nations and its sister organizations that support the entity of the Jews! Do these rulers not know that the religion of disbelief is one? The solutions issued by these bodies and institutions are not and will never be in the interest of the Islamic nation in the slightest. Here is Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque for more than seventy years being subjected to attacks and incursions, so what is the benefit that it has gained from the complaints submitted by these treacherous rulers? On the contrary, these organizations were only created to impose the entity of the Jews on the nation and give it legitimacy. Accordingly, as long as these cowardly, sit-at-home rulers remain, the servants of the entity of the Jews will continue to desecrate our Al-Aqsa and violate its sanctity.

Iran carries out the largest mass deportation of Afghans to protect national security
Iran continues its massive mass deportation campaign against Afghan migrants, against the backdrop of accusations that undocumented migrants from Afghanistan spied for the entity of the Jews and helped it launch rockets during the 12-day war last June. The United Nations said that more than a million Afghans have left Iran since the beginning of that month, including 627,000 deported by the authorities, describing the Afghan refugees returning to their country as being in a state of extreme shock, as they were subjected to insults at every step inside Iran before being deported. Despite Iran's confirmation that the deportation is limited to Afghans classified as illegal, the Afghanistan Analysts Network, an independent research institution, has received many reports of targeting people holding passports and legal identity documents. Foreign Policy magazine revealed that the security authorities in Iran extracted confessions from hundreds of Afghans who were arrested during the 12-day war and were shown on television screens.
Since the 1970s, millions of Afghans have fled to Iran and Pakistan, with large waves during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and a more recent wave in 2021 when the Taliban returned to power. Initially, Afghans were welcomed in Iran, but anti-Afghan sentiment gradually increased, with state media portraying Afghan refugees as an economic burden on a society already suffering from difficult living crises due to sanctions. The treacherous Muslim rulers are good at blaming others for their failures. The Iranian regime blames its utter failure to confront the entity of the Jews on the Afghan Muslims. If there were indeed among them those who were spying for the entity of the Jews, then it was their duty to expel them or punish them, but to place the burden on an entire people or punish the innocent for the crime of some, this is something that has nothing to do with Islam. Today's rulers resort to two pretexts to deport or expel people in their countries: national security and economic burden. Will their security be established or will their economies recover with their return to their homes? No, and a thousand times no! The source of insecurity is not in those who have taken refuge in their countries, but in the rulers themselves, and the economic failure lies in the capitalist system. Accordingly, if the rulers want security, safety, and economic prosperity, they must implement Islam as a comprehensive system. They are doomed to failure unless they implement Islam. But the tragic aspect of the matter is that they blame innocent people for this failure.

Riyadh did not say no to normalization, but the timing is not right
Yoel Guzansky, a former official at the National Security Council of the occupation, said that Saudi relations with the occupation have not reached a dead end, but have undergone a major transformation since the genocide in Gaza. Guzansky, an expert on Gulf affairs, explained that the scenes of destruction and victims, along with the increasing support of the Arab public for the Palestinians, prompted Riyadh to publicly withdraw from the path of rapprochement with the occupation. In an article published by Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, he pointed out that Saudi Arabia was considered the holy grail of the normalization process, especially in light of the American mediation and optimistic statements, but all of that collapsed on October 7, 2023. He said that what began with Saudi caution later turned into firmness, which was evident in the Kingdom's recent positions. He explained that Ibn Salman leads a country that does not move quickly in its decisions, but rather follows a long-term strategy, combining his pursuit of modernization and Western openness, and his need to take into account a conservative religious establishment and a people opposed to normalization with the occupation, and claimed that the entity of the Jews was not a goal in itself, but a means to achieve modernization and openness to the West.
Everyone, near and far, knows that the Muslim rulers, led by the rulers of Al Saud, are eager to normalize relations with the entity of the distorted Jews, but they have suspended the matter for the time being for fear of the nation's discontent and anger because of the Gaza war. We know for sure that they will repeat the attempt whenever the opportunity arises. These treacherous rulers do not care about what Islam says, but their primary mission is to protect the interests of their mistress America, whose interests require imposing acceptance of the entity of the Jews in the region, and the two-state solution is only an integral part of this plan.
