Al Arabiya network, owned by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and managed under the direct supervision of the ruling family.
This is a review of their coverage in the last 12 hours.
🧵Thread
1- It aims to depict the situation in Gaza as if Gaza was a paradise, and then the "mistake" of October 7 led to the deterioration of the situation in Gaza, not the Israeli army, clearly adopting the official Israeli narrative.
2- They do not publish statements from Palestinian resistance factions!
Instead, they only publish statements from Israeli politicians and leaders, trying to portray a victory for the Israeli army in Gaza.
I searched their official account for the last 12 hours and did not find a single statement from the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
3- They follow this policy with Yemeni armed forces too, they only publish the US Central Command statements.
4- a surprising attack on the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a Sunni group.
They depict themselves as being against Hezbollah because they are “Shia,” therefore portraying themselves as doing this because they “care” for Sunnis.
But in reality, they also attack the only Sunni political movement, which is the Muslim Brotherhood!
They have unleashed a series of attacks and propaganda against the Muslim Brotherhood in the past 12 hours!
This means Saudi Arabia is anti-political Islam and anti-resistance, no matter what form it takes.
Meanwhile, they spread all sorts of secular content and ideas.
Bonus:
This is a visit by King Salman to the Saudi MBC group in the 90s in London, to check the equipment and operations when the media group was located in London in the early 90s.
This was before it moved to the Middle East and before the launch of the news channel Al Arabiya to "compete" with the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera.
The kid picking his nose in the back is none other than MBS.

Here is proof that the Egyptians had no clue whatsoever about October 7th before it happened.
A thread.

The narrative “Egyptian regime warned Israel about October 7” first emerged from AP on October 9, 2023, two days after October 7, attributed to an anonymous Egyptian intelligence official by an Israeli “journalist” based in Tel Aviv.!

If you check the same story on BBC, other Western media, and Arab regimes media, you will find they all cite the Israeli Tia Goldenberg (AP).

What is the political ideology of Hamas?
Hamas was primarily founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yasin, who was influenced by the thoughts of Egyptian Sheikh Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks to establish a democratic government through peaceful democratic options such as elections. Up to the 1990s, it was the only active political Islamic movement until the non-Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in Algeria won the first election in Algerian history in a landslide. This victory resulted in a military coup that imprisoned or exiled all the winners of the election, leading to a decade of civil war.
The Muslim Brotherhood is present in many Arab “states.” They recently won parliamentary elections in “Jordan” and in Morocco.
They are designated as a “terrorist organization” in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain despite their democratic approach!
In Egypt, after the 2011 Revolution against Mubarak, they won both parliamentary and presidential elections in a landslide. This led the army generals to orchestrate a coup, imprison the election winners, and detain the democratically elected president, Morsi, who died in jail due to torture and neglect.
If the Muslim Brotherhood is against military actions, why does Hamas have a military wing?

If the Muslim Brotherhood is against military actions, why does Hamas have a military wing?
On May 1, 2017, Hamas announced its disconnection from the Muslim Brotherhood and published a political document consisting of 42 points on its official website to redefine itself.
In the introduction to the document, Hamas redefined itself as a Palestinian national liberation and resistance movement with an Islamic reference, aiming to liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist project.
Who’s ISIS, and what’s their ideology? What’s their relation with Hamas?

The land bridge between the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel:
What are the facts?
Thread:1,2,3,4,5
1
The land bridge project connecting the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel did not emerge after the events of October 7th. Instead, it was conceptualized following the failure of the Saudi war on Yemen to achieve its primary objective of dismantling the Sanaa government.
The Sanaa government was seen as a potential threat to the movement of goods through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical maritime route for Israeli cargo shipments from China, India, and other major Asian suppliers.
2
After October 7th, the Israelis, Americans, and Arab regimes imposed a siege on Gaza and closed the Rafah crossing, which created a dire situation in Gaza, causing famine among the 2.2 million people living there.
In response to this humanitarian crisis, the Sanaa government declared that it would not allow any ships to pass to Israeli ports until the siege on Gaza is lifted.
The Yemenis then began targeting ships, leading to the complete inactivity of Eilat port.
This situation brought back the importance of the land bridge.
Here is an example of oil tanker (SOUNION) targeted two days ago by Yemeni armed forces because the owning company violated the Yemeni ban on entering Israeli ports via the Mediterranean before the siege on Gaza is lifted.
What are the Fatwas of the imams of Saudi Arabia regarding Gaza?
This is a thread of some of their Fatwas.
1- The Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh
Sheikh Mohammed Issa Al-Sinan:
"We saw today the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Alhamdulillah, we are rid of you and your evil, and the land of Gaza is relieved of you, as are the people of Gaza. The criminal hamas. Insha'Allah, the rest of you will follow, and humanity will be freed from you. You have harmed people; your entire history is filled with wars. The only letimage ruler is Mahmoud Abbas”
Sheikh Maher bin Dhafir Al-Qahtani:
"We thank Allah for freeing the people of Islam from Ismail Haniyeh, who spread corruption on earth, sought to sow division between Muslims and the rulers, and labeled them as tyrants. His departure is a relief. Therefore, no one should be blamed for rejoicing at the death of innovators from the Khawarij. Especially since he was responsible for the deaths of many people in Gaza by collaborating with the Rafidah and conspiring with the Zionists. We must thank Allah for saving Muslims from the one who stirred division among them."
