To Promote America's Interests Instead of Mobilizing to Support Gaza

The media wing of the Pakistani Armed Forces, Inter-Services Public Relations, announced on July 26, 2025, that Pakistan hosted the Regional Chiefs of Defense Staff Conference in Islamabad today, with the participation of senior military leaders from the United States, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The media wing's statement indicated that "this multilateral event is an important step towards strengthening regional security cooperation, military diplomacy, and strategic dialogue among participating countries." The conference was held under the slogan "Strengthening Ties, Securing Peace" and sought to enhance security cooperation, develop training programs, and exchange best practices in combating terrorism and other defense and security efforts.

Comment:

Pakistan's rulers have reaffirmed their commitment to the American regional vision by organizing an important regional security conference that included Muslim army leaders from Pakistan and Central Asian countries under American patronage. At a time when the armies of Muslims are being urged to take urgent action to save Gaza and uproot the Jewish entity, the Pakistani army chief is preoccupied with a conference intended to direct the region towards the American agenda, by combating what is called "political Islam" in a coordinated manner under the guise of combating terrorism and extremism.

This conference is a unique initiative launched by the Pakistani army chief, bringing together military leaders from Central Asia and the US Central Command. America was represented by General Michael E. Kurilla, commander of the US Central Command. The conference focused on strengthening commitment to three main American goals in the region: combating terrorism, regional stability, and military coordination, as is clear in the conference statement. These three axes constitute the core of the US Central Command's objectives, and Pakistan is the cornerstone for achieving these goals.

To understand America's moves and the importance of Pakistan in this context, it is necessary to read the broader geopolitical landscape:

First: Central and South Asia are two major Islamic regions where the human power of South Asia meets the energy wealth of Central Asia. Afghanistan forms the bridge between the two regions. Due to its strategic location, demographics, and natural resources, strategic competition has intensified between America, Russia, and China in these regions, where rivalries are focused on access to energy, vital minerals, and connectivity corridors. Due to Russia's weakness as a result of the long war with Ukraine, America and China have become prominent actors in Central and South Asia. Despite America's withdrawal from Afghanistan after a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Taliban, it has re-entered the region through its trusted agents in the Pakistani military establishment.

Second: The return of a Republican administration led by the arrogant Trump has opened the way for the Pakistani army leadership to play a greater role in America's regional plans. The Biden administration reduced its level of engagement and interests with Pakistan after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, with the exception of cooperation in fighting Islam. Trump met with the Pakistani army chief, General Asim Munir, during a luncheon in an unprecedented move during his visit to America. Munir also met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other American officials to obtain his new directives.

Hosting the defense leaders of Central Asian countries after these high-level meetings between Pakistan and the United States indicates that Pakistan is ready to direct Central and South Asia in line with American interests. Russian and Chinese suspicions towards Pakistan are likely to increase after these developments. In addition to securing regional security cooperation under American patronage, Pakistan is accelerating the pace of regional connectivity projects such as new trade and transport routes. For example, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan recently signed a tripartite framework agreement on a railway project. Other projects underway at various stages of implementation include: the gas pipeline (Turkmenistan - Afghanistan - Pakistan - India), the Trans-Afghanistan Railway project, the CASA-1000 project for the transmission of electricity between Central and South Asia, and the TUTAP project to connect energy between Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. All of these projects enjoy American support and aim to disconnect Central Asian countries from Russia and China through Pakistan.

It is unfortunate that the United States and other major powers are exploiting Islamic regions rich in energy, mineral wealth, and military capabilities. The fall of the Caliphate at the hands of the disbelieving West in 1924 AD led to the dismantling of the strength of the Islamic nation and its fragmentation into artificial statelets. In addition to this dismantling, the West imposed ruling elites linked to it ideologically, limited in their vision, and constituting an obstacle to the unification of the Muslim lands under the Caliphate. The Pakistani military leadership is no different from the rest of the secular institutions in the Islamic world. If it had a real will and a sincere vision, it would have combined the energy in the Gulf and Central Asia and the human power in South Asia under the Caliphate. That is still possible, and it has become even more urgent in light of America's weakness and its dependence on Pakistan to carry out its regional tasks. More importantly, the nation is now ready for radical change.

The sincere elements in the Pakistani military establishment must hasten to establish the Caliphate so that the nation's strength can be restored, and an end can be put to the extermination and occupation in the lands of the Muslims. The coming Caliphate will unite the leaders of the Muslim armies to move to liberate Palestine and Kashmir instead of wasting time in empty conferences that serve foreign agendas. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah showed me the earth, and I saw its eastern and western parts, and the dominion of my Ummah will reach as far as I have seen." Sahih Muslim. And Allah Almighty said in the Holy Quran: ﴿It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although the polytheists dislike it.﴾.

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

(Translated)

News:

The high-level United Nations international conference entitled "Finding a Peaceful Solution to the Palestinian Issue and Implementing the Two-State Solution" was held in New York on July 29 and 30, led by France and Saudi Arabia. Following the conference, which aimed to recognize Palestine as a state and end the war in Gaza, a joint declaration was signed. In addition to the European Union and the League of Arab States, Turkey also signed the declaration along with 17 other countries. The declaration, which consisted of 42 articles and an annex, condemned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood carried out by Hamas. The participating countries called on Hamas to lay down its weapons and demanded that it hand over its administration to the Mahmoud Abbas regime. (Agencies, July 31, 2025).

Comment:

Considering the countries running the conference, the presence of America is clearly evident, and despite not having the authority or influence to make decisions, the Saudi regime, its servant, accompanying France is the clearest evidence of this.

In this regard, French President Emmanuel Macron stated on July 24 that France would officially recognize the Palestinian state in September, and would be the first G7 country to do so. Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barreau held a press conference at the conference, announcing the goals of the New York Declaration. In fact, in the statement issued after the conference, the massacres of the Jewish entity were condemned without taking any punitive decision against it, and Hamas was asked to disarm and hand over the administration of Gaza to Mahmoud Abbas.

In the new Middle East strategy that America seeks to implement based on the Abraham Accords, the Salman regime represents the spearhead. Normalization with the Jewish entity will begin after the war, with Saudi Arabia; then other countries will follow, and this wave will turn into a strategic alliance extending from North Africa to Pakistan. The Jewish entity will also receive a security guarantee as an important part of this alliance; then America will use this alliance as fuel in its conflict against China and Russia, and to include Europe completely under its wings, and of course, against the possibility of establishing the Caliphate.

The obstacle to this plan currently is the war in Gaza and then the anger of the Ummah, which is increasing and is about to explode. Therefore, the United States preferred that the European Union, the Arab regimes, and Turkey take the initiative in the New York Declaration. Thinking that accepting the decisions contained in the declaration would be easier.

As for the Arab regimes and Turkey, their mission is to please the United States, protect the Jewish entity, and in return for this obedience, protect themselves from the anger of their peoples, and live a humiliating life with the crumbs of cheap power until they are thrown away or afflicted with the torment of the afterlife. Turkey's reservation on the declaration, on the condition that the so-called two-state solution plan is implemented, is only an attempt to cover up the real goal of the declaration and mislead Muslims, and it has no real value.

In conclusion, the path to liberating Gaza and all of Palestine is not through a fictitious state in which Jews live. The Islamic solution for Palestine is the rule of Islam in the usurped land, which is to fight the usurper, and to mobilize the armies of Muslims to uproot the Jews from the blessed land. The permanent and radical solution is to establish the Rightly Guided Caliphate and protect the blessed land of Isra and Mi'raj with the shield of the Caliphate. God willing, those days are not far away.

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stone and the tree, and the stone or the tree says: O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him." (Narrated by Muslim)

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

The News:

Most of the political and security news in Lebanon revolves around the issue of weapons targeting the Jewish entity, without any other weapons, and focusing on it by most political analysts and journalists.

Comment:

America is asking for the weapons that fought the Jews to be handed over to the Lebanese army, and it does not care about any weapons that remain in the hands of all the people, which can be used internally when it finds an interest in doing so, or between Muslims in neighboring countries.

America, the greatest enemy of us Muslims, said it frankly, even rudely, when its envoy Barack stated from Lebanon that the weapon that must be handed over to the Lebanese state is the weapon that can be used against the Jewish entity occupying blessed Palestine, and not any other individual or medium weapon because this does not harm the Jewish entity, but rather serves it and serves America and the entire West in inciting it to fight between Muslims under the pretext of takfiris, extremists, reactionaries, or backward people, or other descriptions that they fuel among Muslims under the pretext of sectarianism, nationalism, or ethnicity, or even between Muslims and others who have lived with us for hundreds of years and found nothing from us but the preservation of honor, money, and life, and that we were applying the laws to them as we apply them to ourselves, they have what we have and they are obligated to do what we are obligated to do. For the Sharia ruling is the basis of governance for Muslims, whether among themselves, or between them and other subjects of the state.

As long as our greatest enemy, America, wants to destroy or neutralize the weapon that harms the Jewish entity, then why focus on that among politicians and media professionals?!

Why are the most important topics raised in the media and in the Council of Ministers, at the request of the American enemy, without examining them in depth and clarifying the extent of their danger to the nation, the most dangerous of which is the demarcation of the land borders with the Jewish entity, that is, the official recognition of this occupying entity, in a way that no one after that has the right to carry weapons, any weapons, for the sake of Palestine, which is the property of all Muslims and not only the people of Palestine, as they try to convince us as if it belongs only to the people of Palestine?!

The danger lies in presenting this matter sometimes under the title of peace, sometimes under the title of reconciliation, and at other times under the title of security in the region, or under the title of economic, tourism and political prosperity, and the prosperity that they promise Muslims in the event of recognition of this monstrous entity!

America knows very well that Muslims can never be satisfied with recognizing the Jewish entity, and that is why you see it creeping into them through other things to distract them from the most important fateful matter. Yes, America wants us to focus on the issue of weapons, but it knows that weapons, no matter how powerful, will not work and cannot be used against the Jewish entity if official Lebanon recognizes it by demarcating the borders with it, and thus recognizes it and its right to the land of blessed Palestine, under the pretext of the Muslim rulers and the Palestinian Authority.

This recognition of the Jewish entity is a betrayal of God, His Messenger, and the believers, and of all the blood of the martyrs that has been shed and continues to be shed for the liberation of Palestine, and despite all that, we still hope for good in our nation, some of whom are fighting in Gaza, Hashim, and in Palestine, and they say to us with their blood: We will never recognize the Jewish entity, even if it costs us all this and more... So, do we accept in Lebanon to recognize the Jewish entity, no matter how difficult the circumstances are?! Do we accept to demarcate the borders with it, that is, to recognize it, even if the weapons are left with us?! It is the question that we must answer before it is too late.
