From Al-Aqsa Mosque, Israel is taking the pulse of the Islamic world

While Muslim blood was flowing like a flood in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Libya, and while in Egypt, as a result of a military coup, the country was sinking into complete darkness in every respect, not a sound came from Palestine, the real problem area of the Islamic world. As Muslims were occupied with one another and shedding one another's blood as at no other period in their history, the first question that came to mind was, of course, whom all that was happening served:

As is known, the most striking thing was the deep and meaningful silence of Israel, FETÖ's friendly country in the Southeast, toward all that was happening.

While Muslims had fallen upon one another, Israel was staying meaningfully away from a heavy provocation in Jerusalem and Palestine, as we were used to seeing it. It was quietly continuing its plans for new settlements, which it has been carrying out almost as a matter of routine in the territories it has held under occupation since 1967. But that much of an application no longer even drew attention amid the Muslims' own heavy preoccupations.

Israel's greatest power is of course not its own military or human strength but the Muslims' negligence, their indifference and, naturally, their betrayals.

It was no secret that Israel's deep silence over the last few years, especially on the Syrian issue, stemmed from the fact that what was happening served its strategic goals. The fragmentation of the countries around Israel, the absence of any strong army, and the forgetting of Israel by the elements that emerged while they were occupied with one another are Israel's most solid strategy for security and regional influence.

That the coup in Egypt was a development that came to the rescue of Israeli security has been stated many times by Israeli sources themselves. On the agenda of Egypt, potentially and historically one of the greatest powers of the Islamic world, there is no such thing as resisting, objecting to or opposing Israel's provoking of Muslims and violation of their sacred things. On the contrary, there is helping Israel whatever it does. Because the coup-maker Sisi thinks he will find the legitimacy he needs in unconditional loyalty to Israel.

The operations of fragmentation under way in Yemen, Syria, Libya and Iraq are likewise developments that fit Israel's strategic plans to the letter and take place without its lifting a finger. In these regions, for the Muslim world to display an effectiveness that leaves no room for foreign interventions, it needs to develop new initiatives.

However, with the Qatar crisis it emerged that the countries expected to develop this initiative, and in some places already taking it, have an entirely different agenda of their own.

In fact, one more thing came to light on this occasion: As is known, the process that triggered the Qatar crisis was tweets attributed to the Emir of Qatar, which disturbed Saudi Arabia and whose content included support for Iran and criticisms of Saudi Arabia. Although Qatar defended itself by saying that those tweets were fabricated as a result of a cyber attack that infiltrated its official accounts, it could not prevent four countries from launching an operation against it. And US officials, in recent days, confirmed Qatar on this matter and announced that those tweets, moreover, had been produced by a cyber attack center based in the UAE.

WHAT IS THE UAE TRYING TO DO?

In fact, when this reality is combined with what has been happening in Libya, Yemen and Syria, it makes the picture much clearer as to what the UAE is trying to do. As if all the Muslim world's preoccupations were not enough, it was a reality everyone agreed on that this alliance against Qatar would deepen the problems much more and that this would benefit no one but Israel.

It was also very clear that the UAE, or rather Crown Prince Muhammad bin Zayed, was leading this alliance. Then the question everyone is seeking the answer to must be asked more clearly: What is the UAE trying to do?

The answer to this very plainly asked question is in fact very plain: The UAE is carrying out Israel's Zionist plans by using the privilege of entering intimate places that Israel's hand cannot reach.

It supports Haftar, who carried out a coup to tear Libya apart when it was on the threshold of a complete national alliance. It turns Egypt, where a democracy and social consensus of sorts were taking shape, into a complete human rights hell by having Sisi carry out the coup.

In Yemen, by outsourcing the war against the Houthis to the American security firm Blackwater, which is responsible for the massacres and atrocities in Iraq, it makes matters thoroughly tangled. Those curious about Blackwater's way of working should just look at Iraq, at Abu Ghraib and at the dirty war it produced, with ISIS, al-Qaeda and the Hashd al-Shaabi.

The point the war has reached in Yemen through the UAE's intervention: war against the Houthis together with the Houthis. Result: the absolute superiority of the Houthis. In this process it also misleads Saudi Arabia and, by pursuing policies in cooperation with the Houthi terror that is the pretext for war for Saudi Arabia, drags Yemen step by step toward fragmentation and an irremediable chaos.

The same footprints are seen in the coup attempts in Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey. It is known that the UAE media delivered the 15 July coup attempt to its viewers like good news, and announced that it had failed only around noon, with the note "unfortunately." These days reports are spreading that the UAE has personally given Gülen serious financial support in return for operations against Turkey.

Buying the lands and homes of the Palestinians in Jerusalem in order to de-Arabize it is one of Israel's important strategies, but one it has not been very successful at. Because Palestinians never, at any price, sell their homes to Israelis. Yet recently house-sale movements among Arabs themselves were being observed in Jerusalem. The hand that emerged behind it is again the dark, dirty hand in the Islamic world that plays a role in all these coup operations of the UAE: Muhammad Dahlan. The houses that are not sold to Israel are first bought by Arabs who will ultimately sell these places to Israel.

Israel's deep silence, as if neutral, toward all these movements in the Islamic world stems from the fact that everything is already being carried out according to its plan, by the Trojan horses among the Muslims.

Its new provocation in Jerusalem these days is like a move to check the pulse of the Islamic world, which it has thoroughly crushed through its loyal intermediaries and instruments within the Islamic world. Is it dead or not? If no sign of vitality is left, it will continue on its way like this. If any is left, new operations through those intermediaries will come into play to deliver the killing blows.
