    Egyptian tourists unwelcome in south Sinai as Israelis visit in droves - Al-Monitor: Independent, trusted coverage of the Middle East
    ▻https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2022/07/egyptian-tourists-unwelcome-south-sinai-israelis-visit-droves

    https://www.al-monitor.com/sites/default/files/styles/social_media_share/public/2022-07/GettyImages-472951002.jpg?h=a5ae579a&itok=C6ghFvjQ

    Legally, there is no entry permit required to go to south Sinai. According to Article 62 of the constitution, “Freedom of movement, residence and emigration is guaranteed. No citizen may be expelled from state territory or banned from returning thereto. No citizen may be banned from leaving state territory placed under house arrest or banned from residing in a certain area except by a causal judicial order for a specified period of time, and in cases specified by the law.”

    An employee of a passenger transport company spoke to Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity about several incidents he experienced while driving Egyptian tourists to south Sinai and Sharm el-Sheikh.

    “Many passengers were forced to return to Cairo and denied entry, without any justification,” he said. “Security forces would stop us and an officer would ask passengers for their national identity cards. He would then pick those who can go through and those who must go back.”

    He noted, “Every driver working for a tourism or transportation company must have experienced this several times. Sometimes the passengers singled out by the security officers would be subject to a security check, and in other cases some would be immediately banned from crossing toward south Sinai.”

    The source was unable to give specific numbers, but he confirmed that these incidents happen frequently.

    In regard to the legality of preventing Egyptian nationals from entering south Sinai, Mahmoud Nasser, a retired brigadier general and expert in security affairs, told Al-Monitor, “It is not legal to prevent any national from entering any of the country’s governorates."

    He said, "However, this matter is left to the discretion of the responsible security officer, who may suspect a specific person may cause problems. After running a background check, some passengers appear to have a criminal record and in this case a decision may be taken not to allow them to pass through for fear they would cause security problems.”

    Résurgence du conflit israélo-palestinien : les nouveaux alliés arabes d’Israël sur la corde raide

    [...] le « nouveau #Moyen-Orient », censé surgir des accords de normalisation conclus l’an passé entre l’Etat hébreu et plusieurs pays arabes, n’a jamais autant ressemblé à l’ancien. Le retour au premier plan du conflit israélo-palestinien place en porte-à-faux ces Etats qui, sans le dire, avaient parié sur l’effacement de cette question, ou du moins sa relégation définitive tout en bas de l’agenda diplomatico-médiatique.

    Lebanon’s Prime Minister Gave $16 Million to South African Model - The New York Times
    ►https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/world/middleeast/lebanon-hariri-model.html

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/09/24/world/24Hariri1/24Hariri1-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg

    The prime minister of Lebanon gave more than $16 million to a South African bikini model who said they had a romantic relationship after they met at a luxury resort in the Seychelles, according to South African court documents obtained by The New York Times.

    The prime minister, Saad Hariri, was not in office when he sent the money starting in 2013, and the transfer does not appear to have violated any Lebanese or South African laws.

    But the revelation in a South African court case this year of the extravagant gifts to a younger model comes during a difficult period for Mr. Hariri, the top Sunni Muslim politician in Lebanon and an American ally.

    His business and political empires have fallen on hard times, depriving many employees of their pay. His family’s construction conglomerate, Saudi Oger, ceased operations in 2017, and his media outlets have struggled to pay salaries.

      La relation extra-conjugale du Premier Ministre, entre information, désinformation et une tentative de destabilisation

      https://libnanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Article-NY-relation-extraconjugale-Saad-Hariri.png

      Il faudrait donc s’interroger pourquoi un journal aussi prestigieux que le New York Times le ressort aujourd’hui quand cette information circulait depuis un certain temps en catimini.

      Il ne s’agit en effet pas des premières révélations sur cette relation extra-conjugale. En effet, un article est déjà paru dans la presse Sud Africain dès le 4 décembre 2018, lors que celle-ci avait porté plainte contre les autorités sud africaines. Cela amène donc à certaines questions sur le timing choisi pour la publication du New York Times.

      S’agit-il, à une heure cruciale pour le Liban, de destabiliser le Premier Ministre Libanais alors que se multiplient les défis pour le Pays des Cèdres.

    Libyan Salafists fight alongside ’secular’ Hifter

    That a host of states — namely the United Arab Emirates and Egypt — have backed Hifter on the premise that only his forces can counter violent extremism is unquestionably paradoxical. Important to note is that there are major differences between Libyan Salafi groups, with some in Hifter’s camp and others against him.

    Ouverture du procès de dix militantes saoudiennes de la cause des femmes ats/ebz - 13 Mars 2019 - RTS
    ▻https://www.rts.ch/info/monde/10286443-ouverture-du-proces-de-dix-militantes-saoudiennes-de-la-cause-des-femme

    Le procès de dix militantes saoudiennes de la cause des femmes s’est ouvert mercredi devant un tribunal pénal de Ryad. Il braque l’attention sur la situation des droits humains dans ce royaume ultra-conservateur du Golfe.

    Loujain al-Hathloul, Hatoon al-Fassi et Aziza al-Yousef figurent parmi ces militantes arrêtées il y a près d’un an, a déclaré le président de la cour Ibrahim al-Sayari à des journalistes et à des diplomates occidentaux, sans préciser les charges pesant contre elles. Seules les familles de ces femmes ont été autorisées à assister à l’audience.

    Mardi, un proche de Loujain al-Hathloul et Amnesty International avaient indiqué que cette militante allait comparaître devant un tribunal de Ryad spécialisé dans les affaires de « terrorisme » et qui prononce généralement des verdicts très sévères.

    Emprisonnées près d’un an sans inculpation
    Ces femmes ont passé près d’un an en prison sans inculpation.

    Plus d’une douzaine de militants avaient été arrêtés en mai 2018, un mois à peine avant la levée historique d’une mesure interdisant aux femmes de conduire en Arabie saoudite.

    La plupart des militants ayant défendu le droit des femmes à conduire ou demandé la levée du système de tutelle qui impose aux femmes d’avoir la permission d’un parent masculin pour de nombreuses démarches ont été accusés de porter atteinte aux intérêts nationaux et d’aider les « ennemis de l’Etat ». Certains ont été relâchés depuis.

    TAIZ, Yemen — In 2017, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on a powerful Yemeni Islamist warlord, accusing him of being a “prominent military instructor” and fundraiser for #al-Qaeda who had also at one point “served with” the Islamic State and financed its forces.

    But Abu al-Abbas is not on the run. He is not even in hiding.

    By his own admission, Abbas continues to receive millions of dollars in weapons and financial support for his fighters from one of Washington’s closest Middle East allies, the United Arab Emirates [..]

    On the Front Line of the Saudi War in Yemen: Child Soldiers From Darfur - The New York Times
    ►https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/world/africa/saudi-sudan-yemen-child-fighters.html

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/12/28/world/28sudan-yemen-2-print/merlin_148209936_f2693829-2824-4f56-a841-5b167b6df2cf-facebookJumbo.jpg

    The civil war in Darfur robbed Hager Shomo Ahmed of almost any hope. Raiders had stolen his family’s cattle, and a dozen years of bloodshed had left his parents destitute.

    Then, around the end of 2016, Saudi Arabia offered a lifeline: The kingdom would pay as much as $10,000 if Hager joined its forces fighting 1,200 miles away in Yemen.

    Hager, 14 at the time, could not find Yemen on a map, and his mother was appalled. He had survived one horrific civil war — how could his parents toss him into another? But the family overruled her.

    “Families know that the only way their lives will change is if their sons join the war and bring them back money,” Hager said in an interview last week in the capital, Khartoum, a few days after his 16th birthday.

    The inquiry focuses on whether people from Middle Eastern nations — including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — used straw donors to disguise their donations to the two funds.

    Matteo Salvini, créature politique des gouvernements européens « #modérés »
    ▻https://www.nouveau-magazine-litteraire.com/idees/matteo-salvini-creature-politique-des-gouvernements-eur

    En adoptant des politiques de plus en plus répressives, les gouvernements « pro-européens » et « modérés » ont fait le lit des Salvini ou Orbàn. En Italie, Marco Minniti, le ministre de l’Intérieur précédant, célébré hier pour son pragmatisme, a incarné cette dérive répressive et le mépris affiché pour les droits humains. Cette politique a légitimé Salvini et ses ami.e.s, et les a amenés au pouvoir. Quel succès !

    Il faut enfin remarquer que ce sont les maires de Palerme et de Naples, des régions pauvres traditionnellement affectées par les arrivées d’immigrants, qui ont proposé d’accueillir les 629 personnes de l’Aquarius. Les populistes – de droite ou de gauche – fantasment un peuple raciste et répressif, qu’ils ne connaissent pas en fait.

    Opinion | Centrists Are the Most Hostile to Democracy, Not Extremists - The New York Times
    ▻https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/centrists-democracy.html

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/23centrists-1527099286435/23centrists-1527099286435-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg

    What Does It Mean?

    Across #Europe and North America, support for democracy is in decline. To explain this trend, conventional wisdom points to the political extremes. Both the far left and the far right are, according to this view, willing to ride roughshod over democratic institutions to achieve radical change. Moderates, by contrast, are assumed to defend liberal democracy, its principles and institutions.

    The numbers indicate that this isn’t the case. As Western democracies descend into dysfunction, no group is immune to the allure of authoritarianism — least of all centrists, who seem to prefer strong and efficient government over messy democratic politics.

    Strongmen in the developing world have historically found support in the center: From Brazil and Argentina to Singapore and Indonesia, middle-class moderates have encouraged authoritarian transitions to bring stability and deliver growth. Could the same thing happen in mature democracies like Britain, France and the United States?

    The Yazidis, who were recently the target of massacre, rape and sex slavery by Isis, are now facing forcible conversion to Islam under the threat of death from Turkish-backed forces which captured the Kurdish enclave of Afrin on 18 March. Islamist rebel fighters, who are allied to Turkey and have occupied Yazidi villages in the area, have destroyed the temples and places of worship the Kurdish-speaking non-Islamic sect according to local people.

    Palestinian security forces have arrested one of the most prominent human rights activists in the occupied territories after he criticised the arrest of a Palestinian journalist in a Facebook post.

    Issa Amro, who lives in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, is the highest profile victim of a growing campaign by #Mahmoud_Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, against journalists and dissent on social media.

    Amro is the founder of Youth Against the Settlements, which has long-documented alleged abuses by the Israeli military and settlers in Hebron. He was already facing charges in an Israeli military court for his activism.

    Because the attention of Western correspondents in Beirut is focused on serving the propaganda of the Saudi-US-Israeli camp in the Middle East, and because they are allies of the March 14 in Lebanon, there is an unreported story about Lebanon and ISIS. As soon as ISIS emerged, March 14 figures supported ISIS and even publicly. This guy, is a major March 14 figure (and is now the man in charge of all media for the pro-Saudi Lebanese Forces) wrote in 2013. It says: “Is ISIS against the Syrian regime: Yes. Is ISIS against Iran? Yes. Is ISIS against Hizbollah? Yes. Therefore I am with ISIS”. This sentiment, by the way, was pretty much the sentiment of Western powers in the region.

    The Sordid Double Life of Washington’s Most Powerful Ambassador

    The sex crime statutes tend to be employed as a cudgel against political dissidents or people, often foreigners, with limited political power; ruling-class figures, in contrast, operate under a different set of informal rules. “The UAE elite enjoy impunity at home and the full support and protection of the UAE state when they break the law abroad,” said Nick McGeehan, a researcher for Human Rights Watch who works on the Gulf.

    In private, Otaiba has made candid admissions about the sex trade in Abu Dhabi rarely seen from high-level figures in the region. In February 2008, “60 Minutes” ran a segment focused on Dubai that touched on sex work and trafficking industries. The next day, a friend from college emailed Otaiba. “I was looking for you on 60 Minutes last night. How big is the prostitution problem?” he wondered, according to a copy of the exchange obtained by The Intercept.

    “I mean… why were you looking for me on a subject like that dog,” quipped Otaiba, before getting serious. “Its big but not blatant…meaning they’re not on the street corners.. its under cover in homes and apts.. not in your face type stuff. #Dubai is definitely more visible than abu dhabi.”

    I don’t think that you have an idea of the language of Gulf regime media in Arabic
    ▻http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2016/11/i-dont-think-that-you-have-idea-of.html

    This is from the opinion page of the Qatari regime newspaper, Al-Quds Al-Arabi. It says: “as you do, o rabid dogs who you call yourselves secularists”.

      et pour la complicité des alliés de l’Arabie Saoudite (Royaume Uni en tête) voir ►http://www.middleeasteye.net/fr/reportages/exclusif-un-d-sastre-est-en-cours-au-y-men-et-il-est-temps-que-le-mon

      La Grande-Bretagne protège l’Arabie saoudite et ses alliés dans leur guerre meurtrière et illégale au Yémen. L’Arabie saoudite est un allié de longue date des Britanniques, un acheteur vital des armes britanniques et un producteur clé de pétrole.
      Donc, il y a tout lieu de supposer que la Grande-Bretagne a une bonne raison d’ignorer ou de minimiser les preuves selon lesquelles la coalition dirigée par l’Arabie saoudite a violé le droit international humanitaire, qui protège fermement les civils pris dans les combats et interdit le ciblage des institutions civiles telles que les écoles et les hôpitaux.

    Israeli-Arab Relations : Muddling Through by the Sword
    ▻http://nationalinterest.org/blog/paul-pillar/israeli-arab-relations-muddling-through-by-the-sword-17521

    Israel could have had full and normal relations with its Arab neighbors long ago. Many years have passed since most Arab government in effect accepted Zionism.[...]

    More recently, as an editorial in the New York Times observes, there has been de facto development of ties, in the absence of full diplomatic relations, between Israel and some Sunni Arab states, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. There also has been a warming of relations with Egypt, a relationship that had mostly been a cold peace since Sadat’s time. As the editorial correctly notes, such developments reflect how the political status of the Palestinians is not a top priority for most Arab governments, and indeed it has long had to compete with more parochial concerns of those governments. But the plight of their Palestinian brethren still is a salient issue for most Arabs, [...]

    The kind of de facto and semi-secret relationships that have been developing are the wrong kind of Israeli-Arab relations. They are not in the best interests of the United States or of anyone else. Far from being a basis for peace and prosperity, they are themselves based on conflict, regional divisions, authoritarianism, and the threat or use of force. With regard to Egypt, the warming of ties with the regime of strongman Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has to do with el-Sisi’s harsh internal crackdown and especially his bashing of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is related to his willingness to cooperate with Israel in bashing the Brotherhood’s Hamas cousins in the Gaza Strip. With regard to the Gulf Arab monarchies, the dealings with Israel have to do with the determination of those regimes to expand their regional influence and to pursue their rivalry with Iran. That determination has become so strong in the Saudi case that it has led to the reckless aerial assault and consequent humanitarian disaster in Yemen—a situation that has gotten so bad that a bipartisan group of U.S. congressmen is urging the Obama administration to delay a major sale of arms to the Saudis.

    In short, the recently developing Israeli ties with these authoritarian Sunni Arab regimes are a matter of more regional conflict and instability, not more peace and prosperity.

    Ce que ne dit pas l’auteur, c’est que pour #Israel, ces régimes sont au contraire « #modérés » et sont les garants de la « #stabilité »

    What’s a few missing billions among friends : Why Malaysia 1MDB scandal might not dent US ties

    La #dissonance_cognitive des journalistes occidentaux des #MSM est toujours remarquable, (au moins) double en l’occurrence : jamais il ne sera dit que les mêmes Etats-Unis, via le #Pentagone, sont eux-mêmes de grands spécialistes de #milliards_disparus et d’autre part on ne dira jamais que les « #modérés » sont souvent les fameux #SOB des #Etats-Unis.
