Middle East and North Africa

In the Arab and Muslim world, the tributes and concessions paid to Trump are seen as a sign of weakness and proof of US dominance over our region.

It is wild when I see Western media twist the reality and suggest that Arab leaders are buying Trump when they are buying temporary protection from being turned into another Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan or worse Palestine.

The reality is pay up or get sanctioned, bombed, couped, invaded or genocided.

In response to Israel's escalating aggression and expanded military operations in Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces have declared a full air blockade on Israel," YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yehya Saree said in a statement.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces will enforce the aerial blockade by repeatedly attacking airports, with Ben Gurion Airport, known as Lod Airport in Israel, as their primary target," he emphasized.

The statement called on all international airlines to take this threat seriously from the moment of its issuance and cancel all flights to Israeli airports to preserve the safety of their aircraft and passengers.
