Press Release
Egypt Between an Alleged Arab Power and the Reality of Subservience
How Can Troops Be Summoned to Save America?!
(Translated)

Amid the escalating military conflict in the region, media outlets reported the Egyptian regime's call for the formation of a so-called "joint Arab force" during an emergency Arab summit to discuss Iranian attacks on some Arab states. This proposal was presented as a concern for Arab security and the defense of the region. However, a careful analysis of the reality of the conflict and the Arab regimes' positions within it reveals that the issue is far from protecting the Arab nation and is more akin to a new attempt to rescue America from the predicament it finds itself in within the region.

First to understand in this context, is that America is the primary instigator of conflicts in the Middle East. It is America that established military bases in the Gulf, Iraq, and throughout the region decades ago, turning Muslim lands into platforms for its military and political hegemony. These bases do not belong to the Ummah; rather, they are colonial bases established to protect American and Western interests and to ensure their continued control over the Ummah's resources and wealth.

Therefore, the attacks on these bases, whether in Iraq, the Gulf, or elsewhere, are essentially attacks on American military positions. Nevertheless, Arab regimes, foremost among them the Egyptian regime, are quick to portray these attacks as assaults on Arab security, justifying the dragging of the region into a military alignment that serves American interests.

The stark irony of this situation is that America itself ignited the confrontation with Iran, launched the military strikes, imposed the blockade and sanctions, and transformed the entire region into a battleground. Yet, when its military interests are threatened, its agent regimes rush to offer their services and deploy their armies in an attempt to shield it from the consequences of its aggressive policies.

Here lies the crux of the matter: the call for a joint Arab force is not, in reality, a project to protect the Ummah, but rather to make the armies part of a system defending American influence in the region, and an iron dome for the Jewish entity. Instead of these armies being a shield for the Ummah and a sword to liberate its occupied land, they are intended to be guardians of America and the Jewish entity.

America today is experiencing strategic exhaustion due to its multiple international fronts, and therefore it seeks to reduce its direct involvement while maintaining its influence through local proxies who implement its policies. Hence the idea of regional alliances and joint forces that is raised from time to time.

In this context, the call for a joint Arab force can be understood as nothing more than an attempt to drag the region, and the Gulf in particular, into bearing the burdens of the conflict being waged by America, and to transform Arab armies into a reserve force serving its strategy.

O People of al-Kinanah (Egypt): You belong to a great Ummah that carried Islam to the world and was once a center of its civilization and power. Do not be deceived by the slogans raised in the name of security and stability while the country is being dragged into becoming part of Western conflicts. A nation that possesses such immense human potential and such a rich history is capable of reclaiming its role if it understands its true nature and revives based on its creed and the rulings derived from it.

O Soldiers of al-Kinanah (Egypt): Armies were created to be a shield for the Ummah and a sword to defend its sacred sites and liberate its land, not to be a tool in the hands of the West or a guardian of its interests. History reminds us that when soldiers are bound to their creed, they become an invincible force, and when they are separated from it, they become tools in the conflicts of others. The greatest gift soldiers can offer their Ummah is to place their loyalty to their Deen and their Ummah above all else, and to realize that this Ummah deserves its army to truly belongs to it, not an army summoned to rescue those who dominate it.
