    1. Introduction: A Crisis of Unity in the Ummah
      The Muslim world today faces a crisis not just of sovereignty, but of identity and betrayal. Among the most egregious examples is the quiet—or at times overt—support that states like Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have lent to the Zionist state of Israel, often at the expense of Palestinian and regional Muslim resistance. This alliance, built on political pragmatism and imperial interests, has shaken the foundation of Islamic unity (Ummah), raising grave theological, historical, and strategic implications.
    2. Egypt: From War to Warmth
      Once a champion of Arab nationalism and resistance, Egypt today collaborates with Israel in ways that would have been unthinkable under Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Camp David Accords of 1978, signed by Anwar Sadat, opened the floodgates to normalization. Since then, Egypt has cooperated with Israel on security in the Sinai Peninsula and helped enforce the siege on Gaza, closing the Rafah crossing to starve the resistance. Such acts contradict the Qur’anic command to support the oppressed (Surah An-Nisa, 4:75).
    3. Saudi Arabia: Custodian of the Haramain, Ally of the Zionists
      Saudi Arabia, while claiming guardianship over the holiest sites in Islam, has covertly allied with Israel through intelligence sharing, strategic coordination, and indirect support for U.S. policies that embolden the Zionist regime. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has publicly recognized Israel’s right to exist and, under Vision 2030, is reorienting the kingdom toward Western modernity at the cost of Islamic solidarity. The normalization of ties, through the Abraham Accords’ momentum, signals an abandonment of Palestine—a sacred cause for Muslims.
    4. UAE: Normalization as a Brand
      The UAE was among the first Gulf states to openly normalize relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords. This not only included diplomatic relations but also military and economic partnerships. Emirati businesses now invest in Israeli tech and agriculture while jointly developing surveillance tools that are used against Muslims and dissidents alike. This collaboration, wrapped in the language of peace and progress, serves as a mask for betrayal.
    5. Qatar: The Double Game
      While Qatar projects support for Hamas and hosts Al Jazeera, a media outlet that critiques Israeli policies, it simultaneously plays host to the largest U.S. military base in the region. Doha has also financed Gaza reconstruction in coordination with Israeli approval—effectively recognizing Israel’s control. This duplicitous diplomacy serves Western interests under the guise of Islamic aid and diplomacy.
    6. Jordan: Peace at the Cost of Dignity
      Jordan, with its strategic border with Israel and historical control over Islamic sites in Jerusalem, signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994. Since then, its security forces have worked closely with the Israeli regime. The Hashemite monarchy has often used its role as a ‘moderate’ regime to justify its collaboration, but this has come at the cost of Jordanian sovereignty and its people’s dignity. Pro-Palestinian protests are often brutally suppressed in Amman.
    7. Islamic Implications: A Betrayal of Divine Trust
      From an Islamic standpoint, these actions represent a betrayal (khiyanah) of the trust placed upon leaders to uphold justice (adl) and unity (wahda). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stated, “The believers, in their mutual love and compassion, are like one body.” (Sahih Muslim). Supporting an apartheid regime that occupies Al-Quds and desecrates the sanctity of Masjid al-Aqsa contradicts the command of Allah to fight oppression and injustice.
    8. Who Will Stand with Iran?
      As the only state consistently opposing Zionist aggression with military and ideological resistance, Iran has become a pariah among Arab states aligned with the West. But Iran may find allies among popular resistance movements like Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and potentially Turkey if Erdogan continues to play both sides. However, real support will come from a united people—Sunni and Shia, Arab and non-Arab—who reject Zionist colonialism in all its forms.
    9. The Future of the Iran-Israel Conflict
      The conflict is heading toward open war. Israel’s attacks on Iranian targets in Syria, and its sabotage of nuclear facilities, have pushed tensions to a boiling point. If war erupts, it will not be merely a regional skirmish but a clash between Zionist imperialism and Islamic resistance. The West’s role as Israel’s patron guarantees international coverage and armament, but the resilience of Islamic movements rooted in martyrdom and justice may surprise the occupiers.
    10. Conclusion: The Call for a New Islamic Front
      It is time to forge a new pan-Islamic alliance—one that resurrects the spirit of Salahuddin and the political consciousness of men like Malcolm X and Imam Khomeini. This alliance must transcend sectarianism and unite under the banner of Tawhid and resistance. Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia must be held accountable by their peoples and scholars for their betrayal. The liberation of Palestine and the protection of Islamic lands from Zionist colonialism is not optional—it is fard (obligatory) upon the Ummah.
