جريدة الراية: المستجدات السياسية في لبنان

عاد لبنان إلى واجهة الأحداث مجددا في الأسابيع القليلة الماضية، فبعد حالة الجمود السياسي في ملف اختيار الرئيس، عادت الحياة مرة أخرى للحراك السياسي في لبنان، وذلك على وقع النتائج غير المتوقعة للانتخابات البلدية في طرابلس، فقد مني التحالف الانتخابي الذي ضم الحريري والصفدي وميقاتي وكرامي والجماعة الإسلامية بخسارة كبيرة في نتائج الانتخابات البلدية لصالح اللائحة التي دعمها الوزير المستقيل أشرف ريفي، فكانت صفعة طرابلسية مؤلمة في وجه تيار الزعامة التقليدية، التي كانت تعتبر أصوات الناخبين أمرا مضمونا، ومحسوما سلفا على حد قول نجيب ميقاتي لابنته "الموضوع مش محرز، والنتيجة محسومة سلفاً لصالحنا"، وكيف لا يقول ذلك ميقاتي ولائحتهم الانتخابية ضمت كافة الزعامات المتصارعة، والتي تتقاسم طرابلس فيما بينها، إلا أنّ الحالة التي أوصل لها هؤلاء السياسيون المسلمين في لبنان جعلتهم ينفضون أيديهم من كل تلك الزعامات دفعة واحدة، فقد انعدم الأفق السياسي، وأظلم، ولم تعد الوعود والأماني الكاذبة تجدي نفعا، وانكشف للناس نوعا ما دجل هذه الزعامات وكذبها، وساهم في هذا تقلب التحالفات وتداخلها وتناقضها، (الحريري يتحالف مع عون في بيروت، ويتحالف مع ميقاتي وكرامي في طرابس) حتى غدا المشهد السياسي في لبنان أقرب (للولدنة) منه للسياسة، لذلك كان الإحجام في طرابلس عن الانتخابات البلدية أمرا ملحوظا، فلم تزد نسبة الاقتراع عن 27%، ومن انتخب يبدو أنه إنما انتخب ليعاقب أولئك الزعماء!، كما أنها في بيروت لم تزد عن 20%، فكان فوز لائحة الحريري في بيروت أقرب للخسارة!

أما عن تفسير تلك التقلبات والاصطفافات، فالظاهر أن جزءًا من هذه التقلبات في الأوساط السياسية والمواقف المقصود منها إبقاء الحراك السياسي في لبنان فاعلا، وذلك لأن أمريكا وقد اجتمعت لها خيوط الهيمنة على لبنان، وأحكمت قبضتها عليه، ليست في وارد حسم الملف السياسي في لبنان قبل ترتيب الوضع في سوريا، ويتضح هذا من تلاعب أمريكا بملف الرئاسة وتركه غير محسوم بالرغم من أن أمر الحسم بيد عملائها بلا منافس، وهذا التجميد للملف الرئاسي يفضي إلى تجمد الحياة السياسية في لبنان، وقد يدفع الناس إلى التحرك الذاتي، لذلك كان إيجاد حراك سياسي بين فترة وأخرى وتحريك الأحداث في لبنان يساهم في التنفيس من حدة الاحتقان الداخلي ويشغل الناس بمعارك جانبية، وقضايا جزئية.

كما أن تيار المستقبل المدعوم من السعودية يمر بمرحلة انتقالية نتيجة تغير الوسط الحاكم في السعودية، فبعد زوال عملاء بريطانيا من سدة الحكم في السعودية، ومقدم عملاء أمريكا بقوة إلى الحكم، أصبحت السعودية رأس حربة في تنفيذ وحماية المصالح الأمريكية في المنطقة، واقتسمت هذا الدور مع إيران، وهذا الانعطاف في السياسة السعودية أثّر على تيار المستقبل، وبدأ يظهر على التيار الضعف والتراجع نتيجة أن الشعبية التي كان يملكها مبنية على خط سياسي مختلف، والمواقف الجديدة تتناقض مع مواقفه السابقة تناقضا تاما. وقد أدى هذا لخسارة التيار عددا كبيرا من مناصريه.

 وقد أوجدت هذه الحالة الفرصة المناسبة للواء أشرف ريفي ليتقدم، فبدأ بمعارضة مواقف الحريري السياسية التي تتعارض مع خطه الأول، فجاء في استقالته من الحكومة "من موقعي كوزير في هذه الحكومة، عاينت ما يعجز اللسان عن وصفه. واليوم أصارح اللبنانيين بأن ما وصلت إليه الأمور جراء ممارسات دويلة حزب الله وحلفائه لم يعد مقبولاً، والاستمرار في هذه الحكومة يصبح موافقة على هذا الانحراف، أو على الأقل عجزاً عن مواجهته، وفي الحالتين الأمر مرفوض بالنسبة لي" وقال أيضا "أنا على عهد شهيد لبنان الرئيس رفيق الحريري وشهداء ثورة الأرز، باق، في مواجهة الدويلة، والاستمرار معكم أيها اللبنانيون الشرفاء في معركة إنقاذ لبنان، وأنا على ثقة بأن لبنان الدولة سينتصر بكم ولكم، مهما كثرت الصعاب" (الأخبار، العدد 2818، 2016/2/20)، وفي لقاء تلفزيوني (أكد وزير العدل المستقيل اللواء أشرف ريفي، في حديث تلفزيوني أنه لن يعود عن استقالته من الحكومة، وأعلن "أن تبني الرئيس سعد الحريري للنائب سليمان فرنجية أمر خاطئ استراتيجيا وسيسبب الخسارة لتيار المستقبل"، معتبرا أن "لا فرنجية ولا النائب ميشال عون سيصلان للرئاسة" وأكد أنه "حالة مستقلة من مدرسة الشهيد رفيق الحريري وألتقي مع تيار المستقبل في الكثير من النقاط لكن مع استقلالية كاملة وسأبقى سيد قراري دائما. فلا أطيع بشكل أعمى، لكن أقتنع فأسير وإن لم أقتنع لا أسير".) (الديار 2016/4/15)، وعلى الرغم من مغازلته السعودية في تصريحاته إلا أنها مغازلة في سياق الحديث عن الوقوف في وجه إيران وحزبها في لبنان، وواضح أن أشرف ريفي يمثل الخط السياسي الذي كان يسير عليه تيار المستقبل في زمن عبد الله بن عبد العزيز، وقد ظهر هذا الانقسام بين الزمانين جليا في التيار عند حديث وزير الداخلية نهاد المشنوق في برنامج كلام الناس في 2016/6/2 وانتقاده للدور السعودي زمن حكم عبد الله بن عبد العزيز، حيث أنحى باللائمة على السياسة السعودية السابقة وأنها هي التي أدت بتيار المستقبل إلى ما وصل إليه الآن... (قناة LBC 2016/6/2).

لذلك فالتقلبات والاصطفافات في لبنان محكومة بالتغيرات التي طرأت على الحاضنة الإقليمية لتيار المستقبل، وهي أيضا محكومة بإرجاء أمريكا البت في الملف الرئاسي لحين ترتيب الوضع في سوريا، ويظهر أن ترتيب الأمور في سوريا لا يتقدم بشكل متسارع فأمريكا تحث الخطا وتضغط باتجاه الحل والترتيب والتهدئة، ثم تعود وتسير باتجاه القتل والتدمير والتصعيد، وهذا يعني أن لبنان سيبقى على الهامش إلى إشعار آخر، فإما أن تحسم أمريكا أمرها في سوريا أو تحسم الأمة الإسلامية أمرها وتقطع دابر أمريكا والغرب وأذنابهم!

Ar-Raya Newspaper:Ar-Raya Miscellany – Issue 573

O people of Sudan: How long will the conflict in Sudan and elsewhere remain fuel for international ambitions and their struggle with their malicious plans, interventions, and supplying the conflicting parties with weapons to completely control it?! Your women and children have been suffering for more than two years from this bloody conflict that only serves the interests of the West and its allies in controlling the fate of Sudan, which has always been coveted for its location and wealth, so it is in their interest to tear it apart and fragment it. The Rapid Support Forces' seizure of Al-Fashir is just another episode in these plans, as America wants to carve out the Darfur region and concentrate its influence in Sudan and eliminate British influence in it.

The Goal of Ortagus' Visit

to Lebanon!

In light of the American offensive against Lebanon and the region with the project of normalization and surrender, and the US administration's endeavor under Trump and his team to bring more rulers of Muslim countries into the Abraham Accords, the visit of the American envoy Morgan Ortagus to Lebanon and the usurping Jewish entity comes, loaded with political, security, and economic pressures, threats, and conditions on Lebanon, noting that this visit coincided with the visit of the Secretary-General of the Arab League and the Director of Egyptian Intelligence, apparently to serve the same direction.

In response to these visits, a media statement from the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Wilayah Lebanon affirmed the following:

First: The interventions of America and its followers in Muslim countries are to serve the interests of America and the Jewish entity, not to serve our interests, especially since America is the first supporter of the Jewish entity in politics, economy, finance, weapons, and media, openly and publicly.

Second: The envoy's visit is not a neutral visit, as some may imagine! Rather, it comes in the context of a clear American policy in the region that supports the Jewish entity and contributes to enabling it militarily and politically, and what the American envoy offers is only an imposition of hegemony, a consecration of subservience, and a diminution of sovereignty, which is a form of surrender and submission to the Jews, and this is what God refuses for the people of Islam.

Third: Accepting these dictates and signing any agreements that consecrate foreign tutelage is a betrayal of God, His Messenger, the Ummah, and everyone who fought or sacrificed to remove this usurping entity from Lebanon and Palestine.

Fourth: Dealing with the Jewish entity is a crime in the legal sense for the vast majority of the people of Lebanon, Muslims and non-Muslims, even in the positive law to which the Lebanese authority resorts, or human law in general, especially after the criminal entity committed genocide in Gaza, which it has not and will not hesitate to do in Lebanon and other Muslim countries.

Fifth: The American campaign and offensive on the region will not pass, and America will not succeed in its endeavor to shape the region as it desires, and if it has its project for the region, which is based on colonialism, plundering peoples, misleading Muslims, and even taking them out of their religion by calling for the (Abrahamic religion), then Muslims, in return, have their project promised by God Almighty; the project of the Second Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood, which has become very close, God willing, and this project is the one that will redraw the region, and even the entire world, anew, in fulfillment of the saying of the Messenger ﷺ: "Indeed, God showed me the earth, and I saw its east and its west, and my nation will reach what was shown to me of it." Narrated by Muslim, and the Jewish entity will be eliminated as the Messenger of God ﷺ foretold in his hadith: "The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them..." Agreed upon.

In conclusion, Hizb ut-Tahrir/ Wilayah Lebanon continues to adopt the task of repelling America's campaign and offensive of normalization and surrender on Lebanon and the region, and nothing will deter it from doing so, and we warn the Lebanese authority against following the path of normalization and surrender! And we call on it to seek refuge in its people to confront that, and not to play around with the matter under the pretext of borders or reconstruction and the influence of the international system, ﴿And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most people do not know.﴾.

A Delegation from Hizb ut-Tahrir/ Wilayah Sudan

Meets with a Number of Dignitaries from the City of Al-Ubayyid

A delegation from Hizb ut-Tahrir/ Wilayah Sudan, on Monday, November 3, 2025, visited a number of dignitaries from the city of Al-Ubayyid, the capital of North Kordofan. The delegation was led by Professor Al-Nazeer Muhammad Hussein Abu Minhaj, a member of the Hizb ut-Tahrir Council in Wilayah Sudan, accompanied by Engineer Banqa Hamid and Professor Muhammad Saeed Boukeh, members of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The delegation met with:

Professor Khalid Hussein - Head of the Democratic Unionist Party, Jalaa Al-Azhari wing.

Dr. Abdullah Youssef Abu Seil - Lawyer and Professor of Law at universities.

Sheikh Abdul Rahim Jouda - From the Ansar al-Sunna group.

Mr. Ahmed Muhammad - Suna News Agency correspondent.

The meetings touched on the topic of the hour; the fall of Al-Fashir and the accompanying crimes of the militia against the people of the city, and the betrayal of the army leaders, who did not fulfill their duty towards the people of Al-Fashir and lift the siege on them, while they were capable of doing so throughout the period of the siege, and the repeated attacks on them, more than 266 attacks.

Then the delegation handed them a copy of the publication of Hizb ut-Tahrir/ Wilayah Sudan entitled: "The fall of Al-Fashir opens the way for America's plan to carve out the Darfur region and concentrate its influence in Sudan. How long will we be fuel for the international conflict?!" Their reactions were excellent and they called for the continuation of these meetings.

"Phoenix Express 2025" Exercises

A Chapter in Tunisia's Submission to American Hegemony

Tunisia's preparation to host the new version of the multilateral naval exercise "Phoenix Express 2025" during the month of November comes, which is the exercise that the US Africa Command has become organizing annually after the regime in Tunisia involved the country by signing with America, on 2020/09/30, a military cooperation agreement, which US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper described as a roadmap that lasts for ten years.

In this regard, a press statement by Hizb ut-Tahrir / Wilayah Tunisia reminded that the party clarified when this dangerous agreement was signed that the matter goes beyond traditional agreements, as America is drawing up a huge project that requires 10 full years to complete, and that the roadmap, according to America's claim, is related to border control, port protection, combating extremist ideology, and confronting Russia and China, and this means, with all impudence, a diminution of Tunisia's sovereignty, but rather it is direct tutelage over our country.

The statement affirmed that Hizb ut-Tahrir in Wilayah Tunisia, despite the harassment, arrests, and military trials that our youth are subjected to as a result of their speaking out with the word of truth, reaffirms its call to dissolve this ominous colonial agreement that is intended to drag the country and the entire Islamic Maghreb and adapt them to the malicious American policies, and also repeated its appeal to the people of power and strength in Tunisia and all Muslim countries to pay attention to what the enemies of the Ummah are plotting against them and luring them to, and that the Shariah duty requires them to support their religion and repel the enemy lurking in their countries and their Ummah, and to exalt the word of God by supporting those who work to implement His Shariah and establish His state, the Second Khilafah Rashidah according to the method of Prophethood promised soon, God willing.

America's Disdain for Its Citizens

Leaves Women and Children Hungry

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program that helps low-income individuals and families and people with disabilities obtain electronic benefits that are used to purchase food and beverages, except for alcohol, and plants to grow their own food. Reports indicate that 42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families. 54% of adults who receive food assistance are women, most of whom are single mothers, and 39% are children, meaning that nearly one in five children relies on these benefits to ensure they don't go hungry. The federal shutdown also forced some states to find other ways to fund free and reduced-price food programs in their educational areas, so that children who rely on food during the school day would not have to live without food. As a result, the many food banks spread throughout the country post pictures of empty shelves and ask people to donate food and grocery store gift cards to meet the increasing demand for food.

Accordingly, the Women's Section in the Central Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir said in a press statement: We may ask how can the richest country in the world ignore the fact that millions of its most vulnerable citizens will not find enough food? You may wonder where America spends its money, even during the shutdown? Well, instead of ensuring that Americans get enough food, they send billions of dollars to the Jewish entity to kill Palestinians. He is a ruler who sees building a luxurious celebration hall as more important than anything else, while other deputies find that their personal investments are given priority over the well-being of the people they are supposed to represent! As you can see, capitalist America has never been interested in caring for the affairs of its citizens, but was only interested in providing military and financial support to those who deprive children around the world of their right to security, food, shelter, and education, which are basic necessities. Therefore, it leaves children in America also suffering from hunger and insecurity, and lacking adequate education and health care.

"Every Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim: his blood, his wealth, and his honor."

To every Muslim, to every officer, soldier, and policeman, to everyone who owns a weapon: God Almighty has granted us reason to think with, and obligated us to use it correctly, so one should not act, perform any action, or utter any statement before knowing its Shariah ruling. Knowing the Shariah ruling requires understanding the reality to which the Shariah ruling is to be applied, so the Muslim must enjoy political awareness, so that he perceives matters as they really are, and is not carried away by the plans of the colonizing disbelievers who do not want good for us or for Islam, and who strive with all their might, cunning, and ingenuity to tear us apart, control our countries, and plunder our capabilities and wealth. How can a Muslim accept to be a tool in the hands of those colonizing disbelievers, or an executor of the orders of their agents?! Does he covet a little of the fleeting pleasures of this world, so he loses his Hereafter and is among the people of the Fire, abiding therein forever, cursed and expelled from the mercy of God? Does a Muslim accept to please any of the created, helpless humans while angering God Almighty, in whose hand is this world and the Hereafter?!

Hizb ut-Tahrir calls you to raise the level of political awareness, adhere to the rulings of God Almighty, and work with it to rule according to what God has revealed, so that it removes the hands of the colonizing disbelievers and their agents from you, and thwarts their plans in our countries.

You Are the Ones Who Starved the Muslims

O Masoud Pezeshkian!

Under this title, the Central Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir said in a press statement: Iran has announced the bankruptcy of the largest private bank in it, which is (Ayandeh) Bank, and this bank has 270 branches in Iran, after the debts on it increased to five billion dollars. What is surprising in the matter is the criticism of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for administrative failure, saying: "We have oil and gas, but we are hungry"!

The statement affirmed: The person responsible for that administrative failure that the Iranian president is talking about is the president himself, so why is the Iranian people hungry - O Masoud Pezeshkian - and you have oil, gas, and other wealth and minerals? Is it not a result of your foolish policies? Is it not due to your distance from ruling by Islam? The same can be said about the rest of the Muslim countries. The foolish rulers in them squander the Ummah's huge wealth, enable the colonizing disbelievers to access it, and deprive the Ummah of that wealth, then one of them comes to justify the reason for the hunger by saying that it is an administrative failure!

In conclusion, the press statement addressed the Muslims: The foolishness of these rulers who are in charge of your affairs has become clear to every sighted person, and they are not worthy of taking charge of it. It is time for you to restrain them, for this is the ruling of the fool; preventing him from disposing of money and restraining him, and pledge allegiance to one Khaleefah who rules you with the Shariah of God Almighty, and cancels the riba system in your countries so that your Lord Almighty and His Messenger ﷺ will be pleased with you, and restores your plundered wealth, and restores your dignity and honor. Here is Hizb ut-Tahrir, the pioneer whose people do not lie, calling you to work with it to establish the Second Khilafah Rashidah according to the method of Prophethood.

To the Sincere Descendants of the Ottoman Heroes

We ask the sincere descendants of the Ottoman heroes: What happened, O great army?! What is this humiliation and weakness?! Is it due to a lack of equipment and supplies?! How can this be, when you are the strongest army in the Middle East? And you rank eighth among the strongest armies in the world, while the Jewish entity ranks eleventh. That is, you are ahead of it in all respects, so how can you accept humiliation?!

The Jihadi army may lose a battle, but it will not lose a war; because the determination that ignited its leaders and soldiers is the same determination that created Badr, Hunayn, and Yarmouk, it is the same determination that opened Andalusia and made Muhammad al-Fatih determined to conquer Constantinople. And it is the same determination that will liberate Al-Aqsa and restore things to their rightful place.

We affirm that the national military doctrine has been lost and not preserved. It is a doctrine of weakness and failure, which diminishes the prestige of the army because it does not open the door to fighting in the way of God. It is a doctrine that made the military a job to receive a salary, so conscription became a heavy burden on the hearts of young people, who avoid it. It is a doctrine that made military ranks for boasting, so the army was emptied of its true meaning.

We in Hizb ut-Tahrir call on our sons in the Turkish army not to continue abandoning Jihad and not to support the Muslims who are crying out for their help; because that is an evil, and what an evil... So do not abandon the pinnacle of this religion until you win in both worlds.

Trump's Attack on the Democrats

A Coup Against Democracy and an Exposure of Its Falsehood

(Al Jazeera Net, Wednesday, Jumada Al-Akhira 14, 1447 AH, 2025/11/5AD) US President Donald Trump launched a series of sharp statements, criticizing the performance of the Democrats, the voting system, immigration policies, and the government shutdown, stressing that the time has come for the Republicans to take decisive steps (Al Jazeera Network).

Ar-Raya: Since Donald Trump's rise to the American political scene, the world has witnessed a wide debate about the nature of his speech and his style in dealing with his political opponents. Between those who see him as a reformer who wants to restore America to its "lost greatness," and those who consider him a direct threat to the values of democracy, the most important question remains: Is Trump's continuous attack on the Democratic Party merely a normal political conflict, or is it in its essence a coup against American democracy itself?

Trump's attack on the Democrats comes as an internal explosion in the heart of the American system, as it exposes the real conflict between the elite class that controls the joints of the state, and the American people who feel that their voice is no longer effective in the political decision.

Trump's attack on the Democrats, although it seems like a rebellion against American political norms, is in fact a mirror that reflects the crisis of Western democracy itself. It is not only a coup against democracy, but an exposure of its falsehood, and that it is a dead person waiting for the Khilafah state to announce its death and bury it soon, God willing. Our responsibility is to be certain that the path to renaissance is not by imitating
