Trump Proclaims a Nonexistent Peace: Without Justice for Palestine, There Will Never Be Stability in Middle East

In yet another display of political ignorance and blatant media manipulation, Donald Trump has once again proclaimed “the arrival of peace in the Middle East.” His words, repeated triumphantly in certain Western circles, attempt to sell a dangerous fantasy: the idea that the region can stabilize while the Palestinian wound remains open, bleeding, and silenced.

Paper: Has Peace between Turkey and PKK Run into a Deadlock?

The peace process between the Turkish government and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) that after years of a stalemate showed signs of revival is now again running into deep questions and challenges. The announcement of the PKK dissolution by its imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan and then accepting suspension of armed struggle all promised a new chapter in the complex relations of Ankara and this terrorist group. But it seems that the heavy shadow of the past and the flawed logic of confrontation disallow smooth advance to peace.

Paper: Does F-35 Sale to Riyadh Make a Real Strategic Difference?

Washington DC in the day of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit more than ever was a scene of a political show; red carpet rolled out in the White House, portraits of US presidents on the walls of the White House, and the style of the hosting that was more than usually official all gave a picture of political sychophancy. After years of tensions especially following the murder of the Washington Post author Jamal Khashoggi, this was the first official visit of the king-in-waiting to the US. That perhaps is why Washington chose to make the political event more splendid.

Full Text: Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's Message to the Third International Conference of Media Narrators of the Ahlul Bayt (AS)

In a world where social media empowers every individual to be a broadcaster but also serves as a potent instrument of propaganda, the challenge of conveying truth is paramount. At this important conference on media, convened during the blessed month of Dhū l-Qaʿda, we recognize the tremendous effort required to counter negative narratives and disseminate accurate information. The Ahlul-Bayt (as) World Assembly News Agency (ABNA) and its initiatives like Al-Thaqalayn International TV are essential in this endeavor, providing a reliable voice for the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) amidst a sea of controlled and misleading information.
