#Breaking

In a huge blow to #Erdogan, Members of the #EastMed Gas Forum —which #Turkey is NOT a member, have just announced it will be a formal #Cairo-based organisation.

#Egypt
#Greece
#Cyprus
#Italy
#Israel
#Jordan
#Palestinian Authority

#EastMed #Gas
Worth noting, #France attended today’s #EastMed gas forum meeting as an observer
Also worth mentioning:
#Egypt’s gas production is about 7 mln cubic meter, but its consumption is 5mln cubic meter!
#EastMed
I think the “Cairo” part is just a reflection of the base country that will host the organisation, but actual meetings can happen anywhere in Egypt.
And you right, Alexandria is more natural base.

🧵Thread

On the controversy surrounding Egyptian-British political activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, and the warm reception he has received in the UK from many British officials.

1/
First, who is Alaa Abd El-Fattah?

To understand the current controversy surrounding him, I believe it is important to start in 2011, when Alaa rose to prominence following the ousting of Egypt’s President Mubarak during what became known as the Arab Spring.
2/
He and his comrades became the focus of Western media, which was interested in Egypt’s groundbreaking revolution and in how young activists like Alaa helped bring down Mubarak’s regime.

I was initially excited too, but after reading his views, I began to have doubts.

He believed that a leaderless revolution could succeed, and he failed to appreciate the risks posed by the Muslim Brotherhood and by figures from the old regime.

He and other revolutionaries grew increasingly overconfident and lacked a clear plan for the future.

Thread 🧵

How a convicted Egyptian terrorist end up living in a posh hotel in London, then raped a woman in Hyde park?

The answer is because successive British governments declined to
designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group.

1/ Image
Egypt has formally designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation on December 2013, after the bombing of police headquarters in the Egyptian city of Mansoura killing 16 people 2/
But terror didn't stop after the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood. Asplinter group called Has emerged in Egypt since 2015/2016 that targeted Egyptian security forces, judges, and government officials. They committed multiple terror attacks from 2016- 2019) 3/

Can the Syrian scenario happen in Egypt?

The short answer is no. I will explain in this thread 🧵👇
1/
Yesterday, many shared videos of alleged protests in Egypt.
Most who shared those videos, judging by their profiles, are pro-Brotherhood, Syrians, and others anti-Egyptian president Sisi.

But those videos were not recent, which raises suspicion that they are part of psychological warfare operation as Babak suggested 👇
2/
Those who shared those videos didn’t even bother to check that most of them were recorded in Summer, judging with what those protestors were wearing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thread 🧵 on Syria:

Today, after calls for protests, many Syrians in Damascus and Homs have marched in the streets calling for civic and secular streets, amidst little coverage by nearly all legacy media

@BBC
@CNN
@SkyNews

They are rightly concerned about the future of their country amidst very legitimate concerns.

I will try to explain why?

1/
First, women rights

A spokesman of the new [Islamist] administration claimed that the nature of women doesn’t make them fit for all jobs”

Syrian Islamists seem to ignore the basic concept of gender equality, despite reassurance to Western officials

They clearly forgot the number of Syrian women who revolted against Assad and paid hefty prices.

@Keir_Starmer
@EmmanuelMacron

2/
Second, Christian minorities.

Although the new authorities in Syria allowed Christians to openly celebrate Christmas, with plenty of coverage on social media, there are disturbing reports of violence against Christians, especially the Greek ones.

Here is one example
👇👇.

One can call it “an individual act of violence” except there are other gruesome incidents, like beheading of one Christian, and shooting of his wife.

Just days after ousting of Assad, and the subtle hijab enforcement has begun in Syria.
Thread 🧵

First, this girl that met Jolani and he asked her to cover her hair. 1/ Image
She later appeared on the official Syrian TV defending Jolani and how it is “his right” to appear however he prefers.

Clearly she sees no intrusion on her right to appear however SHE prefers 🤷🏻‍♀️

2/
But it is not just this Syrian girth!

A TV anchor appeared with Jolani, with a “minimum accepted” headscarf

Fact:
Hundred of thousands of Arabs and Muslims have been killed in
🔺Syria
🔺Sudan
🔺Yemen

But they didn’t trigger 1/10 of the reactions we are witnessing now in the war of #Gaza.

Why?
Because, in Gaza, they enemy is non-Arab and non-Muslim.

Let’s stop kidding ourself and have the courage to admit that.
For Islamists, the crime of Israel is not just the “occupation of Palestine”, but the disruption of their grand dream of the resurrection of the Islamic Caliphate.
For Arab nationalists, the crime of Israel is not the “occupation of Palestine”, but the disruption of their dream of one Arab grand nation from the Arabian -Gulf to the Atlantic ocean
