Islamic States, European Powers Rally Behind Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

A coalition of Muslim-majority nations and European powers on Monday backed a plan by US President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war in Gaza — a proposal that has already drawn criticism from some Palestinians as a “farce.” The joint statement of support came from Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. The countries said they welcomed Trump’s “sincere efforts” and pledged readiness to work with the United States and other parties to secure implementation. The backing marks a rare moment of alignment, with Saudi Arabia’s stance seen as especially significant as it considers normalisation with Israel — a priority for both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who endorsed the plan and warned Hamas of more devastation if it refused. European allies also lined up behind Trump’s proposal. French President Emmanuel […]

Saudi Arabia frees 3 Nigerian pilgrims held for drug trafficking

Saudi authorities have released three Nigerian pilgrims who were wrongfully detained in Jeddah last month on allegations of drug trafficking. The Director of Media and Advocacy of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Femi Babafemi, confirmed their release on Wednesday at a press briefing in Abuja. The freed pilgrims are Maryam Hussain Abdullahi, Abdullahi Bahijja Aminu, and Abdulhamid Saddieq. They had been held for four weeks after drugs were found in luggage fraudulently tagged with their names at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport before boarding an Ethiopian Airlines flight ET940 to Jeddah on August 6, 2025. Babafemi said their freedom followed “weeks of sustained engagements” by NDLEA Chairman, Brig Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd), with Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Narcotics Control (GDNC), backed by President Bola Tinubu and senior Nigerian officials including Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), Foreign […]

Palestinians Urge US to Restore Abbas Visa Before UNGA

The office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the United States to reverse its decision to revoke the leader’s visa just weeks before the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Washington’s move, announced Friday, also rescinded visas for 80 other Palestinian officials who were due to attend the high-level meetings next month. Abbas has regularly addressed the General Assembly and typically leads the Palestinian delegation. “We call upon the American administration to reverse its decision,” presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh told The Associated Press on Saturday, warning that the move “will only increase tension and escalation.” He added that Palestinian officials have been in constant contact with Arab and foreign countries since Friday and would continue diplomatic efforts. Abu Rudeineh also urged the international community to pressure the US administration, especially in light of a high-level conference […]

Ronaldo & Rodriguez spotlight Saudi double standard

Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, have lived together in Saudi Arabia for more than two years, raising questions about the country’s shifting social rules. The Portuguese star, 40, and Spanish model, 31, recently announced their engagement, drawing attention not just to Rodriguez’s huge diamond ring but also to the fact they have long shared a home despite not being married. In conservative Saudi Arabia, where cohabitation outside marriage is technically illegal, such an arrangement would normally be impossible. But while authorities now largely turn a blind eye for foreigners, Saudis themselves still face restrictions. “Conservative rules are still on the books, but they are applied more flexibly today,” said Sebastian Sons of the German think tank CARPO. Social change for foreigners, limits for locals Foreign couples, including Muslims, are now allowed to stay in hotels or live together […]
