Now, having witnesses are not strictly required to convert — Allah knows all things, so a Shahada said alone, with conviction, would make you a Muslim. To become legally recognized in your local mosque and get acquainted with those in your community, you generally must make your Shahada in front of witnesses—two Muslims or an Imam. A complete understanding of the Shahada must be understood and said sincerely in order for the conversion to be taken seriously. Tricking other non-muslims to recite this phrase in a joking manner does not establish them a Muslim. (Source: https://myislam.org/ashhadu-alla-ilaha-illallah/).

(Arabic: مُحَمَّد, romanized: Muḥammad ﷺ; Arabic: [mʊˈħmmad]; c. 570 – 8 June 632 CE)[ Goldman 1995, p. 63, gives 8 June 632 CE, the dominant Islamic tradition. Many earlier (primarily non-Islamic) traditions refer to him as still alive at the time of the Muslim conquest of Palestine] was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of Islam.[According to Welch, Moussalli & Newby 2009, writing for the Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World: "The Prophet of Islam was a religious, political, and social reformer who gave rise to one of the great civilizations of the world. From a modern, historical perspective, Muḥammad was the founder of Islam. From the perspective of the Islamic faith, he was God's Messenger (rasūl Allāh), called to be a "warner," first to the Arabs and then to all humankind."] According to Islamic doctrine, he was a prophet divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets.[ Welch, Moussalli & Newby 2009. Esposito 2002, pp. 4–5. Esposito 1998, p. 9,12. He is believed to be the Seal of the Prophets within Islam, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis for Islamic religious belief. Muhammad ﷺ was born in approximately 570 CE in Makka.[ Conrad 1987.] He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. His father, Abdullah, the son of Quraysh tribal leader Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim, died around the time Muhammad ﷺ was born. His mother Amina died when he was six, leaving Muhammad ﷺ as an orphan. (Source: Rodinson 2021, pp. 38, 41–3, Rodgers 2012, p. 22) He was raised under the care of his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, and paternal uncle, Abu Talib.[ Watt 1974, p.] In later years, he would periodically seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for several nights of prayer. When he was 40, circa 610 CE, Muhammad ﷺ reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave[ Conrad 1987.] and receiving his first revelation from God. In 613,[Howarth, Stephen. Knights Templar. 1985. ISBN 978-0-8264-8034-7 p. 199.] Muhammad ﷺ started preaching these revelations publicly,[ Muhammad Mustafa Al-A'zami (2003), The History of The Qur'anic Text: From Revelation to Compilation: A Comparative Study with the Old and New Testaments, pp. 26–27.

Esposito 2002, pp. 4–5.] and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam.[ Peters 2003, p. 9.Buhl & Welch 1993. Muhammad's ﷺ followers were initially few in number, and experienced hostility from Meccan polytheists for 13 years. To escape ongoing persecution, he sent some of his followers to Abyssinia in 615, before he and his followers migrated from Makka to Medina (then known as Yathrib) later in 622. This event, the Hijrah, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar. In Medina, Muhammad ﷺ united the tribes under the Constitution of Medina. In December 629, after eight years of intermittent fighting with Meccan tribes, Muhammad ﷺ gathered an army of 10,000 Muslim converts and marched on the city of Mecca. The conquest went largely uncontested, and Muhammad ﷺ seized the city with little bloodshed. In 632, a few months after returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage, he fell ill and died. By the time of his death, most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam.[Sources: • Holt, Lambton & Lewis 1977, p. 57.• Lapidus 2002, pp. 31–32.] The revelations (ayat) that Muhammad ﷺ reported receiving until his death form the verses of the Quran, regarded by Muslims as the verbatim "Word of God" on which the religion is based. Besides the Quran, Muhammad's ﷺ teachings and practices (sunnah), found in transmitted reports (hadith) and in his biography (sīrah), are also upheld and used as sources of Islamic law. https://www.pinterest.com/ramzanctg60/muhammadur-rosulullah-sawllallahu-alyhi-wasallaam/ হযরত মুহাম্মাদ ﷺ সারা বিশ্বের জন্য রহমতস্বরূপ। এ প্রসঙ্গে মহান আল্লাহ পবিত্র কুরআনে ফরমানঃ ওয়ামা আরসালনাকা ইল্লা রহমাতাল্লিল আলামীন। ١٠٧- وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ ◯ 107.

IqraSense.com via aweber.com Dear Brothers and sisters - Assalamu-Alaikum, Today, let's reflect on the incredible benefits of Istighfar, or seeking forgiveness from Allah, through a powerful story. Even if you've heard this story before, it's always worth revisiting, because the benefits of Istighfar are so numerous and profound. This story highlights the incredible power of Istighfar, or seeking forgiveness from Allah. It comes from the life of Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, a renowned Islamic scholar who also founded the Hanbali school of fiqh. One day, in his old age, Imam Ahmad was travelling and stopped by a town where he didn't know anyone. After the Isha prayers, he wanted to stay in the masjid yard for the night, but the caretaker of the mosque didn't recognize him and refused to let him stay. The caretaker even had to drag him out of the mosque. Luckily, a nearby baker saw what was happening and felt pity for Imam Ahmad. He offered to host him for the night. We should note that not even the baker knew the identity of the Imam! During his stay with the baker, Imam Ahmad observed that the baker was constantly reciting Istighfar (by saying "Astaghfirillah"), seeking forgiveness from Allah. Imam Ahmad was intrigued by this and asked the baker if he had observed any benefits from it. The baker replied that, with the exception of one dua, Allah had always responded to all his supplications (Du'as). When Imam Ahmad asked the baker about the dua that had not yet been accepted, the baker explained that he had been asking Allah to help him meet the great scholar, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal. Despite Allah fulfilling all of his other du'as, this one had not yet been granted. This anecdote had a profound impact on Imam Ahmad, who was taken aback by the baker's response and the power of Istighfar. He replied excitedly that Allah had indeed listened to the baker's dua and had brought him, Imam Ahmad, right to the baker's doorstep. This story serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible benefits of saying Istighfar, and the amazing blessings that come from constantly asking Allah for His forgiveness. By reciting Istighfar regularly, we can also cultivate a deep sense of humility and seek Allah's mercy and guidance in all aspects of our lives. Let's remember the prophet's own example of frequently saying Istighfar throughout the day. It's a reminder to all of us of the importance of seeking forgiveness, and the incredible blessings and opportunities that can come from doing so. May Allah guide us to make seeking His forgiveness a constant habit in our lives. By doing so, we can purify our hearts, strengthen our faith, and draw closer to Him. May Allah grant us the wisdom and humility to recognize our mistakes and the strength to seek His forgiveness always. Ameen. Sincerely.

More than 1.2 million people are currently sheltering in the area, many unable to move anywhere else. A new wave of displacement would exacerbate overcrowding, further limiting access to food, water, health and sanitation services, leading to increased disease outbreaks, worsening levels of hunger, and additional loss of lives. Only 33% of Gaza’s 36 hospitals and 30% of primary health care centers are functional in some capacity amid repeated attacks and shortages of vital medical supplies, fuel, and staff. As part of contingency efforts, WHO and partners are urgently working to restore and resuscitate health services, including through expansion of services and pre-positioning of supplies, but the broken health system would not be able to cope with a surge in casualties and deaths that a Rafah incursion would cause. The three hospitals (Al-Najjar, Al-Helal Al-Emarati and Kuwait hospitals) currently partially operational in Rafah will become unsafe to be reached by patients, staff, ambulance, and humanitarians when hostilities intensify in their vicinity and, as a result quickly become nonfunctional. The European Gaza Hospital in east Khan Younis, which is currently functioning as the third-level referral hospital for critical patients, is also vulnerable as it could become isolated and unreachable during the incursion. Given this, the south will be left with six field hospitals and Al-Aqsa Hospital in the Middle Area, serving as the only referral hospital. As part of ongoing contingency efforts, WHO, partners and hospital staff have completed the first phase of restoration of Nasser Medical Complex, including cleaning and ensuring essential equipment is functioning. The emergency ward, nine operating theaters, intensive care unit, maternity ward, neonatal intensive care unit and the outpatient department are now partly functional, and national staff alongside emergency medical teams are working there. To alleviate the burden on hospitals, WHO and partners are establishing additional primary health centers and medical points in Khan Younis, Middle Area, and northern Gaza as well as pre-positioning medical supplies to enable these facilities to detect and treat communicable and non-communicable diseases and manage wounds.  A new field hospital is being set up in Al Mawasi in Rafah.   A large WHO warehouse has been established in Deir al Bala and a sizable volume of medical supplies has been shifted there from WHO warehouses in Rafah as they could become unreachable during the incursion. These measures will help to ensure the rapid movement of supplies to Khan Younis, Middle Area and northern Gaza when needed. In the north, WHO and partners are scaling up efforts to resupply and expand services at Kamal Adwan, Al-Ahli, and Al-Awda hospitals, along with supporting the transfer of very ill patients to hospitals where they can get the treatment they need to survive. Plans are also underway to support the restoration of Patients’ Friendly Hospital, focusing on pediatric services. Despite the contingency plans and efforts, WHO warns that substantial additional mortality and morbidity is expected when the military incursion takes place. WHO calls for an immediate and lasting ceasefire and the removal of the obstacles to the delivery of urgent humanitarian assistance into and across Gaza, at the scale that is required.  WHO additionally calls for the sanctity of health care to be respected. Parties to the conflict have the coordinates of health facilities: it is imperative they are actively protected and remain accessible to patients, health workers and partners. The safety of health and humanitarian workers must be guaranteed. Those striving to save lives should not have to endanger their own.  END.

In response to this public health emergency, WHO partnered with UNICEF to release a technical note on infection prevention and control (IPC) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) measures at health-care facilities and shelters in Gaza. The note provides both standard recommendations and alternative solutions for IPC and WASH, acknowledging various constraints in Gaza. (One example: if no sinks are available at health facilities, Veronica buckets can be installed to provide water for hand hygiene.) The technical note is available for download.

More than three quarters of the population have been forced from their homes, many multiple times, and face severe shortages of food, water, sanitation and healthcare – the basic necessities to survive. The health system continues to be systematically degraded, with catastrophic consequences. As of 19 February, only 12 out of 36 hospitals with inpatient capacity are still functioning, and only partially. There have been more than 370 attacks on health care in Gaza since 7 October. Diseases are rampant. Famine is looming. Water is at a trickle. Basic infrastructure has been decimated. Food production has come to a halt. Hospitals have turned into battlefields. One million children face daily traumas. Rafah, the latest destination for well over 1 million displaced, hungry and traumatized people crammed into a small sliver of land, has become another battleground in this brutal conflict. Further escalation of violence in this densely populated area would cause mass casualties. It could also deal a death blow to a humanitarian response that is already on its knees. There is no safe place in Gaza. Humanitarian workers, themselves displaced and facing shelling, death, movement restrictions and a breakdown of civil order, continue efforts to deliver to those in need. But faced with so many obstacles – including safety and movement restrictions – they can only do so much. No amount of humanitarian response will make up for the months of deprivation that families in Gaza have endured. This is our effort to salvage the humanitarian operation so that we can provide, at the very least, the bare essentials: medicine, drinking water, food, and shelter as temperatures plummet. For this, we need: An immediate ceasefire. Civilians and the infrastructure they rely on to be protected. The hostages to be released immediately. Reliable entry points that would allow us to bring aid in from all possible crossings, including to northern Gaza. Security assurances and unimpeded passage to distribute aid, at scale, across Gaza, with no denials, delays and access impediments. A functioning humanitarian notification system that allows all humanitarian staff and supplies to move within Gaza and deliver aid safely. Roads to be passable and neighbourhoods to be cleared of explosive ordnance. A stable communication network that allows humanitarians to move safely and securely. UNRWA (1) , the backbone of the humanitarian operations in Gaza, to receive the resources it needs to provide life-saving assistance. A halt to campaigns that seek to discredit the United Nations and non-governmental organizations doing their best to save lives. Humanitarian agencies remain committed, despite the risks. But they cannot be left to pick up the pieces. We are calling on Israel to fulfil its legal obligation, under international humanitarian and human rights law, to provide food and medical supplies and facilitate aid operations, and on the world’s leaders to prevent an even worse catastrophe from happening.

In WHO’s latest high-risk mission, teams visited on Tuesday 26 December two hospitals - Al-Shifa in the north and Al-Amal Palestine Red Crescent Society in the south – to deliver supplies and assess needs on the ground. Both hospitals also serve as shelters for displaced people seeking relative safety. At Al-Shifa Hospital, a reported 50 000 people are sheltering, while in Al-Amal there are 14 000. At Al-Shifa, WHO delivered fuel to keep essential health services running. With UNICEF, WHO also delivered medical supplies for the hospital. And in support of NGO partner, the World Central Kitchen, delivered materials to support a kitchen at Al-Shifa. Medical supplies were also delivered to the Gaza Central Drug Store, which will act as a medical supply hub to deliver to other hospitals, and will be supported by WHO and partners. At Al-Amal, colleagues saw the aftermath of recent strikes that disabled the hospital’s radio tower and impacted the central ambulance dispatch system for the entire Khan Younis area affecting more than 1.5 million people. Of the 9 ambulances the hospital once had, only 5 remain functioning. WHO staff reported finding it impossible to walk inside the hospital without stepping over patients and those seeking refuge. There are only few functioning toilets available in the hospital and adjacent community buildings and PRCS training centres for the people taking refuge there, staff and hospital patients. While transiting across Gaza, WHO staff witnessed tens of thousands of people fleeing heavy strikes in the Khan Younis and Middle Area, on foot, riding on donkeys, or in cars. Make-shift shelters were being built along the road. “WHO is extremely concerned this fresh displacement of people will further strain health facilities in the south, which are already struggling to meet the population’s immense needs,” said Dr Rik Peeperkorn, WHO Representative in WHO's office for the West Bank and Gaza. “This forced mass movement of people will also lead to more overcrowding, increased risk of infectious diseases, and make it even harder to deliver humanitarian aid.” According to the latest WHO assessments, Gaza has 13 partially functioning hospitals, 2 minimally functioning ones, and 21 that are not functioning at all. Among these is Nasser Medical Complex, which is the most important referral hospital in Southern Gaza, and is partially functioning. Recent reports of residential areas being ordered to evacuate around the hospital are extremely concerning. “When military activities intensify near the hospital, ambulances, patients, staff, and WHO and partners will be unable to reach the complex, and this key hospital will quickly become barely functional,” said Dr Peeperkorn. “This scenario was witnessed all too often in the North. Gaza can not afford to lose any more hospitals. WHO is working to strengthen and expand the existing struggling health system.” WHO staff also reported Tuesday that the need for food continues to be acute across the Gaza Strip. Hungry people again stopped our convoys today in the hope of finding food. WHO’s ability to supply medicines, medical supplies, and fuel to hospitals is being increasingly constrained by the hunger and desperation of people en route to, and within, hospitals we reach. Dr Tedros said: “The safety of our staff and continuity of operations depends on more food arriving in all of Gaza, immediately. My own colleagues are also being directly and personally affected by the conflict, just like virtually everyone in Gaza. I continue to receive heartbreaking news of the loss of our Gaza staffers’ family members.” “The recent United Nations Security Council resolution appeared to provide hope of an improvement in humanitarian aid distribution within Gaza,” Dr Tedros added. “However, based on WHO eyewitness accounts on the ground, the resolution is tragically yet to have an impact. What we urgently need, right now, is a ceasefire to spare civilians from further violence and begin the long road towards reconstruction and peace.” LINK: WHO teams deliver supplies to hospitals in Northern and Southern Gaza Related links: Conflict in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory (who.int) WHO EMRO | Occupied Palestinian territory health crisis 2023 | Priority areas | Palestine site WHO EURO: Conflict in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory (who.int) Previous statements: Lethal combination of hunger and disease to lead to more deaths in Gaza (who.int), 21 December 2023 WHO delivers health supplies to Al-Shifa Hospital, appeals for continued access to address urgent needs in north Gaza, 17 December 2023 WHO calls for protection of humanitarian space in Gaza following serious incidents in high-risk mission to transfer patients, deliver health supplies, 12 December 2023 Media contact: mediainquiries@who.int Statement: Six months of war leave Al-Shifa hospital in ruins, WHO mission reports Inbox WHO Media Unsubscribe 12:08 AM Saturday, 6 April 2024 Six months of war leave Al-Shifa hospital in ruins, WHO mission reports 6 April 2024 | Statement | Jerusalem/Cairo/Geneva - A WHO-led multi-agency mission accessed Al-Shifa Hospital in north Gaza on 5 April to conduct a preliminary assessment of the extent of destruction and identify needs to guide future efforts to restore the facility. The highly complex mission was conducted in close partnership with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS), and in collaboration with the acting Hospital Director. Prior to the mission, WHO’s efforts to reach the hospital to medically evacuate patients and staff and conduct an assessment were denied, delayed or impeded 6 times between 25 March and 1 April. Like the majority of the north, Al-Shifa Hospital ­– once the largest and most important referral hospital in Gaza – is now an empty shell after the latest siege. No patients remain at the facility. Most of the buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed and the majority of equipment is unusable or reduced to ashes. The WHO team said that the scale of devastation has left the facility completely non-functional, further reducing access to life-saving health care in Gaza. Restoring even minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible and will require substantial efforts to assess and clear the grounds for unexploded ordnance to ensure safety and accessibility for partners to bring in equipment and supplies. The hospital’s emergency department, surgical, and maternity ward buildings are extensively damaged due to explosives and fire. The western wall of the emergency department and northern wall of the neonatal intensive care department (NICU) have been torn down. At least 115 beds in what once was the emergency department have been burnt and 14 incubators in the NICU destroyed, among other assets. An in-depth assessment by a team of engineers is needed to determine if these buildings are safe for future use. The hospital's oxygen plant has been destroyed, leaving Kamal Adwan Hospital as the only source of medical oxygen production in the north. Further comprehensive assessment is essential to evaluate the functionality of vital equipment such as CT scanners, ventilators, sterilization devices, and surgical equipment, including surgical tools and anaesthesia devices. The current situation has left north Gaza without CT scanning capabilities and significantly diminished laboratory capacity, severely compromising effective diagnosis, which will increase avoidable deaths. Numerous shallow graves have been dug just outside the emergency department, and the administrative and surgical buildings. In the same area, many dead bodies were partially buried with their limbs visible. During the visit, WHO staff witnessed at least 5 bodies lying partially covered on the ground, exposed to the heat. The team reported a pungent smell of decomposing bodies engulfing the hospital compound. Safeguarding dignity, even in death, is an indispensable act of humanity. According to the acting Hospital Director, patients were held in abysmal conditions during the siege. They endured severe lack of food, water, health care, hygiene and sanitation, and were forced to relocate between buildings at gun point. At least 20 patients have reportedly died due to the lack of access to care and limited movement authorized for health personnel. Despite deconfliction, yesterday’s mission faced significant delays at the military checkpoint en route to Al-Shifa Hospital. On the same day, another WHO-led mission bound for Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals in northern Gaza – to deliver medical supplies, fuel, deploy emergency medical teams, and support referral of critical patients – encountered unnecessary delays, including the detention of a supply truck driver who was part of the convoy. He was detained for over an hour at a separate location, out of view of the mission team. Eventually this mission was aborted due to safety concerns as the delays left insufficient time for safe completion and return before nightfall. Between mid-October and end March, over half of all WHO missions have been denied, delayed, impeded or postponed. As health needs soar, the lack of a functional deconfliction system is a major obstacle in delivering humanitarian aid – including medical supplies, fuel, food and water to hospitals – anywhere close to the scale needed. Six months – half a year – into the war, the destruction of Al-Shifa Hospital and Nasser Medical Complex has broken the backbone of the already ailing health system. Prior to the latest siege, WHO and partners had supported the revival of basic services at Al-Shifa Hospital, and Nasser Medical Complex was regularly supplied to continue serving as the main hospital in south Gaza. These efforts are now lost. As WHO marks World Health Day tomorrow, under the theme “My health, my right”, this basic right is utterly out of reach for the civilians of Gaza. Access to health care in Gaza has become totally inadequate, and the ability of WHO and partners to help is constantly disrupted and impeded. Of the 36 main hospitals that used to serve over 2 million Gazans, only 10 remain somewhat functional, with severe limitations on the types of services they can deliver. The proposed military incursion into Rafah can only result in further diminution of access to health care and would have unimaginable health consequences. The systematic dismantling of health care must end. WHO repeats its calls for the protection of patients, health and humanitarian workers, health infrastructure, and civilians. Hospitals must not be militarized, misused, or attacked. WHO demands an effective, transparent and workable deconfliction mechanism, and safety guarantees, ensuring that the movement of aid within Gaza, including through checkpoints, is safe, predictable and expedited. WHO calls for additional land crossings to allow access into and across Gaza more safely and directly. As famine looms, disease outbreaks spread, and traumatic injuries increase, WHO calls for unimpeded access of humanitarian aid into and across the Gaza Strip, and a lasting ceasefire.

Bakayev, in his speech, emphasized the relevance of the Kazakh initiative to create the OIC-15 Dialogue Platform, uniting 15 leading Muslim countries in science and technology, as well as the increased role of the Islamic Organization for Food Security. Particular attention was paid to Kazakhstan’s initiative to create an International Biosafety Agency. On the sidelines of the summit, Bakayev held talks with the foreign ministers of Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Gabon, Togo and Senegal to discuss prospects for strengthening bilateral relations. As a result, the meeting participants adopted the Banjul Declaration and the Final Communiqué, which reflected the Kazakh initiatives. The OIC (until 2011 – the Organization of the Islamic Conference) was created in 1969. The General Secretariat of the OIC is located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. At present, the OIC has 57 member states with a total population of more than 1.7 billion people. It is the second largest international organization after the United Nations (UN). Kazakhstan became a member of the OIC in December 1995. . بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِِ ◯ In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَِ ◯ Praise be to Allah, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds ; (Source: Sūra 1: Fātiha, Ayat: 1, https://quranyusufali.com/1). Indeed, Dua (blessing) is the best weapon for the Muslim Ummah. ٨٥- رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ◯ ٨٦- وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ ◯ سورة ١٠: يونس ، آيات رقم ٨٥-٨٦ হে আমাদের প্রতিপালক! আমাদিগকে যালিম সম্প্রদায়ের উৎপীড়নের পাত্র করিও না; এবং আমাদিগকে তোমার অনুগ্রহে কাফির সম্প্রদায় হইতে রক্ষা কর (সূরাহ ইউনুসঃ সূরাহ নং- ১০, আয়াত নং- ৮৫-৮৬)। “ Our Lord ! make us not A trial for those Who practice oppression; And deliver us by Thy Mercy From those who reject (Thee).”( Sūrah 10: Yūnus, or Jonah, Verses 109 — Makki; Revealed at Makka — Ayat No 85-86, Sections 11, https://quranyusufali.com/10/). https://www.pinterest.com/ramzanctg60/dua-blessing-in-light-of-holy-quran-sunnah-1442/ By including provisions for the exercise of unconditional, unilateral and arbitrary veto power, the United Nations has been reduced from a virtually uniform body of 197 countries into a willy-nilly arbitrary organization of a few countries—with Israel as the ultimate beneficiary. The fact that Israel is exhibiting recklessly adventurous behavior in extreme disregard of international public opinion, including the verdict of the International Court of Justice, is due to reliance on the veto of external powers. https://www.pinterest.com/ramzanctg60/safe-gaza-save-humanity/ https://www.pinterest.com/ramzanctg60/qatarstrong-pillar-of-oic/ 2,000 arrested at U.S. campus protests On behalf of Israel, secreficing the USA’s universal code of “Government of the People, by the people for the people” White House admimistration’s police have arrested more than 2,000 people during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks, according to an Associated Press tally Thursday. Israel and Hamas appear to be seriously negotiating an end to the war in Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages. the U.S. has reached out to China and Russia to match declarations by the United States and others that only humans, and never artificial intelligence, would make decisions on deploying nuclear weapons. We talk to Lance Hunter a Professor at Agusta University and co-author of “The military application of artificial intelligence technology in the United States, China, and Russia and the implications for global security.” And it’s Press Freedom Day. We’ll look at how Moscow has cracked down on Russian media outlets that offer independent reporting on the war in Ukraine, prompting hundreds of journalists to flee and work in exile. https://www.voanews.com/a/arrested-at-u-s-campus-protests/7596214.html Accordingly, the responsibility for Israel's barbaric behavior naturally falls on Israel's veto donors as well—there is no room for doubt. https://www.voanews.com/a/arrested-at-u-s-campus-protests/7596214.html We demand immediate revolutionary reforms to de-veto the United Nations or tougher conditions on the use of veto power. Also, I call upon the OIC to become a full-fledged Muslim United Nations. Until the OIC becomes a full-fledged Muslim United Nations, the following United Muslim Nations Organization (UMNO) will serve as the mouthpiece of the Muslim Ummah as an unofficial shadow Muslim United Nations, inshallah.
