The Cairo Summit, like its Predecessors, Embodies the Betrayal of Arab Rulers and their Abandonment of Gaza and its People!
(Translated)

At the conclusion of the emergency Arab summit held on Tuesday, 4 March 2025, in Cairo, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced the adoption of the Arab Summit’s "Plan for the Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, which allows the Palestinian people to remain on their land without displacement." The final statement emphasized "the necessity for ‘Israel’ to adhere to relevant international legitimacy resolutions that reject attempts to alter the demographic composition of Palestinian territories." The statement also condemned the decision to halt the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the closure of crossings. As usual, the attendees did not forget to reaffirm "the steadfast Arab position regarding the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as the only way to achieve lasting peace in the region."

Thus, the summit was held and concluded without taking any meaningful action regarding the massacres, starvation, and collective punishment inflicted upon our people in Gaza. It completely ignored, or rather turned a blind eye to, the threats of Jews and America to unleash hell upon them, instead focusing on discussions about the day after the war on Gaza—as if the war had already ended and the aggression had ceased!

This stance of the Arab rulers stems from the fact that the idea of supporting Gaza or confronting Jewish aggression is entirely off the table for them. Their meeting was merely an attempt to devise an alternative plan to Trump’s scheme for the displacement of Gaza’s people—after he granted them permission to propose a plan that meets his conditions by excluding Hamas from governance and completely removing it from the political scene to ensure Jewish security and prevent a repeat of the events of October 7, 2023. This was explicitly confirmed in their summit, where the Egyptian plan stipulated the formation of a committee to manage Gaza’s affairs during a six-month transitional period. This committee would be independent and composed of non-partisan (technocratic) figures working under the umbrella of the Palestinian government, with the ultimate goal of handing Gaza over to the Palestinian Authority.

Beyond their expected betrayal and conspiracy, they further reaffirmed, as always, their unwavering commitment to the project of concession and surrender known as the "peace process" and the two-state solution. In doing so, they bear witness against themselves in these blessed days of the holy month, proving that Allah has sealed their hearts and ears so they cannot comprehend, fulfilling His words:

[خَتَمَ اللهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهمْ وَعَلَى سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَى أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عظِيمٌ]

“Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment.” [Al-Baqara:7].

Thus, these rulers prove that they are nothing more than cheap tools for carrying out the schemes of America, the West, and the Jews. They do not even consider discussing matters that they have not been granted permission to address. Therefore, it was not surprising when leaks revealed that mediators had intervened with the Jews, asking them to refrain from any military action against Gaza before the summit—just to help these rulers save a shred of their dignity!

Gaza does not need more plans that keep it under occupation and Jewish control. What it truly needs is serious action from the Ummah and its armies to support and liberate it from the grip of the Jews and America. Without this, we will continue counting the martyrs and the wounded, witnessing desecration and the arrogance of the Jews—all while Muslim rulers persist in their betrayal of the Ummah and their servitude to America.
