Amid US pressure for reform, entire PA government submits its resignation to Abbas

PM Shtayyeh sends letter to Palestinian Authority president, says new ‘political arrangements’ required for postwar Gaza; Hamas: Must be national consensus

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said on Monday he was resigning to allow for the formation of a broad consensus among Palestinians about political arrangements after the conclusion of Israel’s war against terror group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The move comes amid growing US pressure on PA President Mahmoud Abbas to shake up the Authority, which would allow it to take a greater role in ruling postwar Gaza.

International efforts have intensified to stop the fighting in Gaza and begin work on a political structure to govern the enclave after the war.
Shtayyeh said he put the resignation to Abbas last Tuesday and was now formalizing it in writing.

His resignation must still be accepted by Abbas, who may ask him to stay on as caretaker until a permanent replacement is appointed.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy Unveils New Warship

According to local reports, the Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis boasts advanced radar-evading technologies, a 14-day naval endurance, and a 2,000 nautical-mile radius.

In a ceremony held on Saturday in Iran’s southern port of Bandar Abbas, The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy unveiled a new batch of military equipment and systems, including a new domestically manufactured warship.

The Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is a corvette-type vessel with a catamaran design which, according to Iran, has advanced radar-evading technologies, a 14-day naval endurance, and a 2,000 nautical-mile radius. The vessel is named after the deputy head of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units who was assassinated alongside Quds Force commander Quasem Suleimani in a 2020 US drone strike.

Hezbollah’s media outlet Al Mayadeen reports that the IRGC Navy chief, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, said during the ceremony that the corvette is akin to a “mobile maritime city.” According to Colton Jones on Defense Blog, analysts have identified several weapon systems, including 30mm and 20mm cannons, lightweight torpedoes, and six box launchers which can presumably house C802 anti-ship missiles.

Iraqi journalist Safian Alsmara'i: Time to expose the 'Mohammed lie'!

An Iraqi journalist feels 2024 is time to stop the childish Islamic lies.

It's time to expose the lie:

1. There is no proof of the existence of Palestine in the Koran.
2. Al-Aqsa Mosque was the mosque at the edge of Al-Madinah.
3. There was no mosque in Jerusalem during the Prophet's time because Islam simply had not yet arrived there.
4. The prophet did not demand to conquer Jerusalem when it was under Byzantine rule.
5. The story of the night journey has no connection in Jerusalem but only in the interpretations of the Persians from the Abbasid period.
6. There is no such thing as 'the first of the two qiblas' and 'the third of the two holy places' - this is a linguistic and logical error.
