Press Release
The Heroics of the Egyptian Regime are Not Directed Against the Jewish Entity
Rather Continues its Efforts in Besieging, Starving, and Killing the People of Gaza!
(Translated)

The U.S. State Department urged Egypt on Wednesday to do everything possible to ensure the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Cairo stipulated the presence of a Palestinian party at the Rafah crossing to receive the aid. The U.S. Secretary of State, in a House hearing, said that the Rafah crossing leading to the southern part of the strip has been closed since the Jewish army took control of it on May 7th. He added that fighting near the crossing has complicated the task of delivering aid, but the flow of aid is still possible, referring apparently to the Kerem Shalom crossing near Rafah. Blinken said, "So we need to find a way to make sure that the assistance that would go through Rafah can get through safely, but we do strongly urge our Egyptian partners to do everything that they can on their end of things to make sure that assistance is flowing." The delivery of aid to southern Gaza has been disrupted since the Jewish entity intensified its military operations in Rafah, a move the United Nations says has forced around 900,000 people to flee and created tension with Egypt.

For his part, Diaa Rashwan, chairman of the Egyptian State Information Service, said in a statement to Al-Qahera News Channel that Egypt "requires the presence of a Palestinian party to receive the aid at the Rafah crossing and will not deal with ‘Israel’ at the crossing as it is an occupying power." Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said last Monday, "The ‘Israeli’ military presence and the operations carried out by the ‘Israeli’ army are conditions that endanger truck drivers, which has led to the stoppage of aid crossing the borders." (Al Jazeera Net, 23/5/2024).

It is as if the Egyptian regime has finally remembered that the Jewish entity is an occupying power, as if it had not violated the sanctity of our people in Gaza, the artificial borders, and even the treacherous agreement signed with the regime, and almost completely controlled the Salah al-Din corridor parallel to the Gaza Strip! All this was violated by the Jewish entity, yet the Egyptian regime, like all agent regimes, continues to brandish and retain the right to respond, as if the blood being spilled is not the blood of the Ummah that must be preserved, as if the usurped land is not the land of the Ummah that must be liberated, and as if the sanctities being violated and desecrated are not the sanctities of the Ummah that must be restored and purified from the defilement of the Jews!

The response to the Jewish entity is not to cut off aid to the starving and unarmed people but rather to issue a statement like that of Harun al-Rashid to Nikephoros: From the ruler of the Muslims and their leader to the dog of the Jews and those behind him and those who support him. What you see is less than what you hear, and by Allah, I will send you armies as numerous as the grains of sand, and I will uproot you and your grotesque entity from your roots, and I will bring victory to the people of the blessed land, a victory that honors Islam and its people. This is how the response should be, but where is this, and where is he who answers the call of the Ummah and the cries of its free women, saying, "Here I am for it, here I am for it," and carries the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw) rightfully and uproots these regimes that protect the grotesque entity, and restores the Islamic state that moves its armies towards the blessed land, as a supporter and liberator, the Islamic state; the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood?

What has happened and continues to happen from the Jewish entity necessitates the immediate mobilization of armies under any system and any laws. How much more so when our Deen and Aqeedah command us to mobilize armies to give nusrah (support) our oppressed people there and completely liberate their land?! The land of Palestine belongs to the entire Ummah, and its liberation is the duty of the entire Ummah, especially obligatory on Egypt and its army, being the closest, strongest, and most capable. It is not permissible for them to abandon them or fail to support them ever.

O Soldiers of Kinanah, the best soldiers: Your goodness is tied to your nusrah for this Deen, its people, and its sanctities. If it is lost, there is no goodness in you or among you. Restore your goodness and be worthy of it by right, as a shield for the Ummah against the onslaught of the West and its followers, liberating it and its lands from the agent regimes that obey its orders, and supporting those working to implement Islam in its state, the Khilafah Rashidah upon the method of the Prophethood, which unites the Ummah with you and drives you towards liberating the land of Islam and supporting the oppressed.

So, carry the Rayah (banner) of the Messenger of Allah (saw) rightfully, and uproot these rulers who stand between you and the honor of this world and the Hereafter, and be the Ansar (supporters) of Allah and His Messenger, so that Allah may accept you and grant you victory, and you will win a great victory.

[وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ * الَّذِينَ إِنْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ]

“And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. (40) [And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakah and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] matters.” [Al-Hajj:40-1].
