A number of Muslim countries, among them Turkiye, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Indonesia have agreed to join Trump’s so-called Peace Force for Gaza? Will they enforce US-zionist policies or help the Palestinians? There is little room for optimism.
This month marks a painful anniversary in modern Muslim history: the defeat of the Arab states by Israel in 1967, and the loss of al-Quds and the Masjid al-Aqsa, Islam’s third holiest site. In the subsequent four decades, not one Muslim army has successfully defended its country’s borders or the honour of its people. Instead, all they have achieved, with ruthless efficiency, is to attack the parapets of power in their own countries, banish civilian rulers, and seize control for themselves.
