As the upcoming Eid al-Fitr approaches Saudi Arabia preparing for an extravagant celebration. General Entertainment Authority has announced plans for concerts theatrical performances, and various entertainment activities across country. Major cities will witness spectacular fireworks displays to enhance festive atmosphere.
Not only Saudi Arabia but also other wealthy Middle Eastern nations like UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are planning grand celebrations. This vibrant preparation starkly contrasts with grim situation unfolding in Gaza located approximately 818 miles from Saudi Arabia.
In past two days alone, over 200 Palestinian children have lost their lives due to relentless Israeli attacks. Despite this humanitarian crisis influential Muslim nations continue with their Eid preparations limiting their response to brief statements of concern.
Question arises: will Muslim world take concrete action regarding Gaza genocide or remain passive observers?
On Tuesday morning, Israel unilaterally violated a ceasefire agreement by launching airstrikes on sleeping Palestinians in blockaded Gaza region.
This attack devastated shelters, homes, and tents, resulting in death of over 600 Palestinians and injuring several hundred others.
Massacre has revived Israel’s offensive yet Western powers remain silent.
United States has been steadfast in its support of Israel in its offensive. Gaza appears to have become a testing ground for US-backed Israeli military tactics.
Some believe that if Muslim nations achieve unity such brutality might cease. Internal divisions continue to deepen. Reports indicate that UAE actively opposing Egypt’s reconstruction proposal for Gaza allegedly engaging in covert talks with United States to block its implementation.
UAE officials reportedly working hard to ensure Egypt’s plan fails further undermining efforts to rebuild Gaza.
