The Middle East we want

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu frequently speaks of creating a new Middle East, a discourse that has become increasingly pronounced since the events of October 7.

The new Middle East that Netanyahu is planning, and which he wants to create with the support of some Western countries, is a Middle East that is weak on all levels, disintegrated, torn apart by ethnic and sectarian conflicts, devoid of any force that might pose a future threat to the occupying state and its existence, and devoid of any spirit of defiance and rejection of the occupying state in the region. It is an East where the occupying state has the upper hand. Netanyahu, in his repeated talk about this new image of the region, links it and demonstrates the urgent necessity of creating it to the events of October 7, when parts of the south were subjected to a massive attack by members of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. He explains this by saying that the presence of any force in the region, no matter what it is, poses an existential threat to his state.

There is no doubt that the occupying state, led by Netanyahu and his extreme right, is working vigorously to create this new model for the Middle East, and the circumstances and conditions are conducive to it. Broad sectors of Western countries support this vision intellectually and practically.

We, the region, and the entire world are in dire need of a new Middle East, as envisioned by us, not by our enemies. A Middle East that is united, strong, and truly independent, founded on the principles and creed of the Ummah. This is a cry to all the sons and daughters of this nation, especially its vital forces, to work diligently and swiftly to create this vision for this Middle East, one that embodies our true existence, our pride, and our dignity, one that protects us from all those who lie in wait for us, and restores us to the highest ranks among nations.
