Mufti of Oman denounces normalization with "Vanishing Zionist Entity"
Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili, the Mufti of Oman, expressed profound astonishment at the desire of some nations to normalize relations with the "Zionist enemy"—an entity he described as doomed to vanish.
In a post monitored by Saba News Agency, Al-Khalili questioned: "How can anyone seek relations with a disappearing entity whose own people no longer believe in remaining on occupied land, an entity that persists only through perpetual war?"
He warned of the grave miscalculation: "Do those pursuing normalization not fear their bargain will prove disastrous? What a catastrophe!"
The religious leader intensified his critique: "Even if dealing with a temporary occupying power, some might claim pragmatic justification—but how justify ties with a savage colonizer that sustains itself on the blood of innocent children, women and elders? How accept rewarding those who slaughter our kin and faith? How abandon fundamental rights?"
Al-Khalili concluded with a moral indictment: "The true tragedy emerges when oppression gets recast as peace".
This statement marks a significant clerical challenge to Gulf normalization efforts, framing them as both strategic errors and moral failures while highlighting Zionism's existential contradictions through its own demographic anxieties

As Israeli enemy staggers in Gaza... Sana'a prepares for all scenarios
Sana'a - Saba: The Yemeni front supporting Gaza has become one of the most active and influential fronts in confronting the Zionist aggression, especially as the brutality of the occupation against civilians in Gaza escalates. These civilians face a triad of death: bombardment, starvation, and disease—a scene unparalleled in modern history. For over 21 months, the Zionist war machine has continued its killing spree, increasing the toll of martyrs, wounded, and missing in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the enemy is trapped in a vicious cycle, desperately searching for its captives without achieving any notable progress. Instead, it suffers heavy daily losses due to the steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance and its painful strikes. Despite the significant losses inflicted on the usurping entity—whether by the Palestinian resistance or Iranian strikes over 12 days—its reaction has been to target civilians, unleashing its hatred on the people of Gaza in a bloody, vengeful spectacle witnessed by the world amid international silence and disgraceful Arab and Islamic official inaction. Yet Yemen, a nation that has historically resisted invaders, now stands firmly on the frontlines, directing its weapons against an arrogant enemy that threatens not only Palestinians but the security and stability of the entire region. Repeated aggressions against Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran confirm that the Zionist entity is a perpetual project of war and terror, one that knows no peace. In a notable escalation, the enemy recently launched airstrikes on Yemeni civilian facilities, including the ports of Hodeida and Ras Issa, as well as the Ras Katnib power station—a desperate attempt to deter the Yemeni front, which has become a growing concern for decision-makers in Tel Aviv, especially as Yemen's missile and air defense capabilities advance. For the first time, Yemen's locally manufactured air defense systems have entered active service, with surface-to-air missiles launched to intercept enemy aircraft in the skies of Hodeida. This marks a qualitative turning point, fulfilling the warning of His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, Head of the Supreme Political Council and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, that enemy aircraft would become "a laughingstock in Yemen's skies." The strategic deployment of air defense systems is not just a tactical gain but a clear message to all who back the Zionist entity—especially the U.S., Britain, and their allies—that Yemen's airspace is no longer an open or vulnerable arena for hostile aircraft but is now protected by defensive capabilities capable of deterrence. In line with its "equal response" strategy, the Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out precise strikes deep inside the Zionist entity, targeting Lod Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Ashkelon power station in retaliation for the attacks on Hodeidah and Ras Issa ports. The message is clear: Sana'a has the final say, and the cost of aggression will be steep. Military analysts affirm that Yemen's possession of a modern air defense system will reshape the conflict's equations, shattering the myth of the "invincible army" that has long boasted of striking anywhere in the region without consequence. As the Zionist leadership reckons with Yemen's breach of its airspace and capabilities, Sana'a remains fully prepared for the worst-case scenarios—where battlefronts intertwine, missiles, warships, and aircraft clash in a scene where the world respects only the language of strength.

Washington imposes sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur Albanese
Washington – Saba: The United States imposed sanctions on Wednesday against UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese over her statements and accusations against several Western countries regarding their dealings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court. In a position biased toward the criminal Zionist entity, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a post on X platform: "Today, I am imposing sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur on human rights, Francesca Albanese, for her illegal and shameful efforts to urge the International Criminal Court to take action against American and Israeli officials, companies, and executives," he claimed. Rubio added, "There will be no more tolerance for Albanese's campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel." This escalation comes hours after Albanese criticized France, Italy, and Greece for allowing the Israeli Prime Minister to use their airspace, despite the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for him on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip. In a post on her Twitter account, Albanese questioned the reasons for "providing safe passage" for Netanyahu, arguing that the three countries, as parties to the Rome Statute, must abide by their legal obligations to the International Court. She said, "The governments of France, Italy, and Greece must provide official clarifications regarding their provision of safe passage for a person wanted by international justice," noting that such actions "weaken the international legal system and put everyone at risk." With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 57,680 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 137,409 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
