‘Some Arab ranks breached’

‘Corrupt Netanyahu cannot run state’

“THE Prime Minister of the Zionist entity Benjamin Netanyahu at the moment faces some charges of corruption for bribing some newspapers and involvement in fraud to polish his image by abusing his position,” columnist

wrote for Al-Anba daily. “To escape these charges and restore his respect, he sought, with the support of the racist American President Trump, to impose the so-called deal of the century unilaterally on the Arabs in order to swallow the West Bank of Palestine and the Jordan Valley simultaneously.

“Not just that, Netanyahu waged a propaganda campaign to shed light on his achievements showing he has penetrated some Arab countries and paving the way for normalization with these countries in future that is, he was following the policy of fleeing towards the Arab countries from the impasse of the charges that followed him which coincided with the difficulty of forming a coalition government with the rival Blue and White party.

“However, after his attempt to obtain immunity from the Israeli Knesset failed to postpone his trial procedures, he withdrew it and the Attorney General hours later handed over the 78-page file condemning Netanyahu to the Israeli court and the trial is expected to begin on March 17, 2020.

“The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) correspondent Tom Batman said it is ‘the first time that an Israeli prime minister has been formally convicted while in office for criminal offenses’.

“As for Netanyahu’s rival for the premiership, leader of the Blue and White party Benny Gantz declared that ‘no one can run the state and at the same time be prosecuted in cases of corruption’.

“However, Netanyahu managed to keep the position of prime minister for a long time, perhaps due to the fact that his previous governments included extremist Zionist elements who were covering up his scandals in exchange for his urgent policies of swallowing the occupied territories and his national slogans. Perhaps his re-election as leader of the Likud Party after all these accusations is a proof of that.

“In the 1980s, former President George H.W. Bush Sr issued a decision to prevent Netanyahu before he was prime minister from entering the US State Department because of his attempts to mobilize a lobby to support him although during that time he did not occupy any official position and this signifies his misconduct and lack of regard to official protocols.

“What is unfortunate is that Netanyahu, who is currently facing criminal charges and is wanted by the judiciary within his entity, has scored goals in the lost time from his position in the range of some Arab countries and at the expense of the Arabs despite all his political filth.”

“Almighty Allah says in his Holy Quran ‘Glory to (Allah) Who did take His Servant on a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque Whose precincts We did Bless – in order that We Might show Him some Of Our Signs: for He Is the One Who Heareth And Seeth (all things),” columnist wrote of Al-Rai daily.

“The master of creatures and the concluding Prophet our

Master Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him in his honorable Hadith said ‘the travel should be made to three mosques only — The Holy Mosque (in Makkah Al-Mukarramah) and the Mosque of the Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him (in AlMadina Al-Munawarah) and the Al-Aqsa Mosque’, given the fact that Al-Aqsa Mosque was the First Qibla and the Third Holy Mosque.

“Palestine was a complete state before 1947. After the ordeal of 1948 and the Israeli occupation, it was established only on 44 percent of its total land and in 1967 it shrunk to 22 percent, and they want it according to the ‘deal of the century’ or let us say ‘the slap of the century’ to become more like a settlement by 15 percent.

“On the occasion of the 14th anniversary of the assumption of His Highness the Amir, we pray to Almighty Allah to protect him, the government has the right to summarize the official and popular position of Kuwait on the Palestinian issue in order to achieve the right as has been recorded by the pages of history.

“After the ordeal in 1948, thousands of Palestinians in the 1950s and the 1960s came to Kuwait but history shows the first presence of the Palestinians was in 1936 when the first education mission arrived and Kuwait witnessed the development in education. At that time and during the time period from the late sixties to the eighties Kuwait played a significant role in establishing the National Liberation Movement of Palestine (Fath) which represents the biggest and the most important among the Palestinian organizations.

“Now, on the 14th anniversary since HH Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad came to power we recall God Almighty has helped us. In the meantime, we pray to Almighty Allah to grant the Amir good and efficient coterie.

“Kuwait’s position has remained the same since the beginning which says Palestine is for the Palestinians and we all remember Kuwait’s support for the Palestinians, since Kuwait has played an active role for the boycott of the Zionist entity and other international positions adopted by the State of Kuwait in favor of the Palestinian cause.

“For the time, the State of Kuwait still abides by the truth and rejecting the deal of the century and declaring her position that there is no solution except for an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.

“The people of Palestine know their position toward an unjust deal, as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stressed his rejection of the American President Donald Trump’s peace plan, and that the Palestinians are still committed to the international legitimacy represented by 125 resolutions that were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in favor of the Palestinian cause.

“Whoever sees otherwise is unjust to himself and his religion, and God Almighty will support them who are committed those who are committed to their rights.

“As such, here we would like to make it clear that we support the attitude of Kuwait represented by its Amir, we pray to Almighty Allah to protect him towards ‘the deal of the century’.

“In the meantime, we hope the Arab League (AL) will say ‘NO’ to the said deal and will remain firm in its stance because any leniency in dealing with this deal shall open the door before those who were involved in drawing up this deal to swallow the remaining part of Palestine and the surrounding areas which Almighty Allah blessed.”
