The Caliphate will Return:
Whether Netanyahu and his Western Backers Dislike it

News:

​The “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently stated, "We will not accept the establishment of any caliphate on the Mediterranean coast."

Comment:

When Netanyahu declared, “We will not accept the establishment of any Caliphate on the Mediterranean coast,” this was not a passing remark. It was a calculated and ideologically loaded statement, meant to send a clear message - not just to Muslims, but especially to the West.

This statement reflects a long-standing tactic of colonial powers: manufacturing fear to justify occupation and oppression. Just as the West exaggerates threats from various Muslim countries to rally support for invasions, coups, and regime change - Netanyahu now invokes the “threath” of a rising Caliphate to instill fear in Western capitals. His goal is the same: to secure the West’s continued backing of the Zionist project, and to suppress any revival of Islam as a political power in the Muslim world.

He is not speaking about the current Arab and Muslim regimes. He doesn’t fear them, because they stand by him. Their betrayal was made plain during the massacres in Gaza, where they shielded the Zionist entity through silence, normalization, and complicity. These regimes jail those who call for Islamic governance, crush movements of revival, and eagerly serve Western interests. So, who is Netanyahu really afraid of?

He fears the rising tide among the Ummah. The growing call for Khilafah - Islamic political unity under divine law, an idea deeply rooted in the Islamic Ummah for over fourteen centuries, and now returning stronger than ever. This idea, unlike artificial states or puppet rulers, cannot be bombed, sanctioned, or silenced.

And Netanyahu knows, as Western leaders have long admitted, that the Jewish entity was never just about creating a homeland for the Jews. It was and remains a colonial outpost - intended to divide the Muslim world, prevent its unification, and protect Western geopolitical interests in the region.

That is precisely why he targets the Caliphate, because the re-establishment of Islam as a complete and sovereign political system - the Khilafah upon the method of the Prophet (saw)—poses a genuine, existential threat to the Zionist entity and their domination, their artificial borders, and the colonial order they seek to preserve.

He is trying to do what colonialists have always done: demonize Islamic governance, rally the West behind him, and try slow the inevitable. But they cannot halt what Allah (swt) has decreed.

[يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ]

“They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light—even if the disbelievers hate it.” (Qur’an 61:8)

The Khilafah will return. Not as a dream, but as a reality from the shores of the Mediterranean to the heart of al-Quds and beyond.
