I would like to commence this article by conveying my sincere appreciation to all those who have contacted me or observed my absence, following a brief hiatus from writing. I assure my esteemed readers that I will resume consistent communication with them. All channels remain open to receive opinions and topic recommendations for my "Why" column, which I am proud to write for one of the most prominent printed publications in the Arab region, the distinguished Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper. (The current global circumstances seem to impose harsh conditions on the entire world, with the Middle East bearing the brunt of the catastrophes and tragedies of this phase.) "If we examine the issue from a more specific angle, the scale of destruction and devastation endured by Arab countries over the past quarter-century stands as the most intense and dangerous ever." In my view, coincidence plays no role in the collapses, wars, sectarian conflicts, ethnic and religious disputes, and relentless economic challenges afflicting the Arab region. It has become evident that the Zionist plan has succeeded, with distinction, in fragmenting the region, destabilising its peoples, looting its wealth, and extinguishing any hope for future generations. This scheme's immediate implications began with the fall of Baghdad in Aril, 2003, the execution of Saddam Hussein in 2006, and Iraq's descent into a brutal internal conflict, shattering one of the region's most significant and historically rich nations. The Zionist Strategy: From April 2003 to the present moment of writing this article, events have unfolded in accordance with meticulously crafted Zionist strategies rooted in the historical plans of Theodor Herzl and passed down through generations of international Zionist leaders. Today, numerous Arab nations across the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, and North and East Africa find themselves engulfed in the "creative chaos" sparked by former US president George W. Bush and his controversial Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. This strategy began by fueling ethnic and religious divisions within Arab nations to redraw the region's map along ethnic and sectarian lines. The goal was to ensure perpetual wars and conflicts, obliterate the concept of cohesive national identities, and plant seeds of fanaticism, hatred, and terrorism. Iraq and the Domino Effect: The fall of a nation as significant as Iraq, transforms the impossible into the possible. By toppling Saddam Hussein's well-established regime, any non-democratic regime in the region could face the same fate. By taking advantage of the lack of liberties, the demands of marginalised groups, and the terrible economic circumstances that the majority of the population in the region faced, this idea served as a catalyst to ignite ambitions for revolutions. The international Zionism began to implement the next phase of "creative chaos," based on the idea of feeding the Arab reality with ideas of democracy and encouraging the desire for change in order to achieve the freedoms enjoyed by the advanced countries of the world. On the surface, these goals seem entirely legitimate and indeed are a fundamental human right. But were they truly in the best interest of the people of the region, or aimed at creating a better reality? Or was it a carefully planned and precisely directed strategy to fragment the countries internally through the internal conflict of their powers? I believe the results speak for themselves, confirming the tactical victory, before the military one, of Zionism in dismantling and fragmenting Arab countries, dragging them into civil wars, ethnic conflicts, terrorist acts, and economic crises and disasters. The Syrian Tragedy: The sole beneficiary is the Zionist plan, which has successfully achieved tangible milestones aligned with its timeline, securing its future interests in the Middle East. The Domino effect – where one event triggers another in sequence – has had a dangerous impact on the Arab world due to the shared characteristics and interconnectedness of these nations. This was evident when Syria followed Iraq, influenced by the Arab Spring. In March 2011, marginalised Syrian groups took to the streets in violent protests demanding freedom, improved living conditions, and the right to a dignified life. The demonstrations escalated into a civil war between the national army and the Free Syrian Army, formed in August 2011 following defections from the regular army and the inclusion of armed factions. The confrontations escalated from skirmishes with light weapons to intense battles involving artillery, armored vehicles, and airstrikes, leading to the deaths of thousands of children, the elderly, and innocent civilians. The country became fragmented into cities controlled by competing external powers, with little regard for the interests or suffering of the Syrian people. The Broader Regional Plan: The Arab citizen, as always, remains a mere statistic in the eyes of international Zionism – akin to the heroic people of Gaza, whose extermination serves as a prelude to welcoming the Zionist state in the region. The unfolding events in Syria are unsurprising. The script ensures that wars in the region never cease. As one conflict subsides, another erupts, aiming to destroy the region entirely. Since the devastation of Gaza and the activation of forced displacement and genocide plans by the arch-Zionist Netanyahu – coupled with massive losses from assassinating major leaders of various Islamic movements (both Sunni and Shi'a) and targeting Lebanon's infrastructure – the region has been primed for continuous turmoil. After all these brutal, destructive operations by global Zionism, it was Syria's turn once again as a region ready and primed to ignite at any moment, ensuring that the fires of war in the region would not be extinguished, preparing for the next steps under the leadership of Donald Trump. Egypt's Role and Challenges: Despite the Zionist scheme, Egypt has remained steadfast and resilient. The global Zionist movement fully understands that Egypt is the cornerstone of the Arab and Middle Eastern region. The fall of Egypt would signify the fall of the entire Arab world. Egypt is the only nation capable of defeating Israel, given its strategic geographic location, substantial population, and diverse demographics. With its powerful military, Egypt remains the last standing force capable of defending the Arab region. Egypt, with its strongest army, is capable of mobilising at any time and in any number, thanks to the nationalistic spirit within its people, which all plans have failed to undermine. After the fragmentation of Iraq and Syria, the only two Arab countries with strong armies, the Egyptian army remains the sole force in the Arab region capable of defending against any attempt to harm the Arab world. Certainly, a well-thought-out political approach to the use of the Egyptian army will yield benefits in light of the ongoing developments in the region and potential future events. Unfortunately, the situation is still in its early stages, and what lies ahead will be far more dangerous. However, the economic challenge emerges as Egypt's most significant threat. Unfortunately, adversaries of the Egyptian state are well-versed in using economic pressure to achieve victories unattainable through political means. The Egyptian economy and how to effectively manage it to prevent it from becoming a doorway to instability and unrest, as is being intended, are currently the actual battlegrounds. Unfortunately, in my view, the efforts being made are not following the right path, particularly the excessive selling to foreign investors as a quick solution to contain the crisis. I believe that the management of this issue still requires much better scenarios than those currently being proposed by the executive authority and members of the economic group. To be continued in future articles, God willing.
