Press Release
The Blessed Land - Palestine is Not an Election Card for the Negligent Ruwabidah
(Translated)

On Monday, 19/8/2024, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune called on Egypt to open the borders with the Gaza Strip to the Algerian army, in support of the residents of the Gaza Strip, and said: "I swear that as soon as possible we will send units there and rebuild what was destroyed," and he said: "The Algerian army is ready to go to Gaza and we are ready, we are just waiting for Egypt to open its borders to us." In a statement published on the Bilad TV channel on YouTube, Tebboune, who is running in the upcoming presidential elections on September 7, said: "By Allah, if they opened the borders for us, we would have sent an army there. We would have sent buses there and built three hospitals in 20 days. We would have sent doctors and rebuilt what the Zionists destroyed. Gaza is not the issue of the Palestinians, but rather the issue of all of us," and he explained that his country's army is ready to move as soon as the borders between Egypt and the Gaza Strip are opened.

After ten months of the Muslim rulers and their armies’ disappointment to the people of the blessed land of Palestine and Gaza, we did not have hope that life would revive in these rulers, so that the chivalry of Al-Mu’tasim would arise in them and they would stand up for the women of Gaza and its people. It has been confirmed to everyone far and wide, those who share the borders of Gaza and Palestine and those who are far from it, that these Ruwaibidha (ignorant) Muslim rulers are conspiring with the Jews against the land of Isra and Mi’raj and its people. We do not expect any good from them, but rather all evil. Tebboune’s statements came to confirm this. Although he is certain that the issue of the blessed land of Palestine is a military issue, not a political one, an issue of armies, not thrones, he is misleading with all vileness. In part of his speech about what is happening in Gaza, and his emphasis on the army taking its appropriate place, he mentioned it as a humanitarian medical organization! As if the role of armies during times of war, destruction, killing Muslims and violating honour is to build hospitals, pave roads, and inaugurate gardens and parks! Tebboune also knows for sure that in Egypt, the land of the Kinana, there is a Pharaoh who openly declares his hostility to Islam, Muslims and the people of Gaza and conspires against them with the Jews. He knows very well that the Pharaoh of Egypt will not open the borders. How can he when he is the one guarding the borders for fear of any Muslim or soldier from the land of the Kinana (Egypt) moves before the soldiers of Algeria, Tunisia and the descendants of Omar Al-Mukhtar in Libya, and not from fearing Tebboune’s movement and his likes from the hypocrites?! Therefore, Tebboune is reassured in his demands that the Pharaoh of Egypt will not open the borders and will live up to his worst expectations in him. May Allah fight them both.

Not only is the Egyptian (Kinana) army is capable of liberating the Blessed Land in an hour of the day, but so is the Algerian army, which ranks second in the Arab world after the Egyptian army, ninth in the world in terms of numbers, and fifteenth in the world in terms of combat capability and equipment, as its ready and prepared elements for combat are estimated at 603,000 soldiers. It is also capable of liberating the Blessed Land from the clutches of the Jews and their desecration of the first of the two Qiblahs and the third of the Haramain. The obstacle facing the armies is not weakness or helplessness, but rather the betrayal of the Muslim rulers and their failure to the Muslims in Gaza, after they pledged to themselves that they would not rest until they empowered the Jews in the Blessed Land and they rise greatly. To achieve this, they cling to their thrones, and they strive diligently to rig elections that will make them succeed on the thrones (of power), using the purest of issues as an electoral card to achieve the filthiest goals!

O People of Power and Protection in the Egyptian, Jordanian, Pakistani and Algerian Armies!

Allah has tested you by making you the Ummah’s fence, its protective wall and its striking force. Why did you sit back and not support your people in Gaza while you saw a handful of Jews attacking them without fear or apprehension?! Even though if the situation got serious and you stormed their homes, they would not have remained in front of you for an hour of the day. You experienced them on October 7, 2023, when a group of believers stormed their homes with their simple equipment, and they fled before them like little birds, not looking back at the horror of what they saw of the bravery of your brothers. So, what if they faced an army like the army of Egypt (Kinana), or the army of Algeria, the land of the mujahideen and the million martyrs?! Do you think they would stop at the Gaza Envelope, or would they have continued on the march towards Al Quds to wash away the shame of its betrayal throughout the past years?!

O People of Power and Protection in the Armies of the Ummah!

You know with certainty that the future belongs to this Deen, and you know that Allah supports those who support Him, and replaces those who turn away from supporting His Deen. Allah (swt) says:

[وَإِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمْ]

“If you ˹still˺ turn away, He will replace you with another people. And they will not be like you” [Muhammad: 38].

Why do you not take the initiative to achieve this great honour, and support your Lord and become the new Ansar of this Deen, just as the supporters (Ansar) of the Aws and Khazraj were?! Make up your mind, turn the tables on your rulers, and give your Nusrah (support) to Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, which will liberate the captives and the Masra (Al Aqsa Mosque) and avenge the blood of the martyrs, not only the martyrs of Gaza who were killed at the hands of the Jews, but also those who were killed in the past in Algeria at the hands of the Europeans and the French. Set out with Allah’s blessing, and know that when Allah wills to support His servants and allies, He sends this good to those who deserve it, so be its people and men.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ]

“O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah stands between a person and their heart, and that to Him you will all be gathered” [Al-Anfal: 24].
