Khabarni – Egyptian journalist Bassem Youssef became the talk of the Arab street following his second meeting with British journalist Piers Morgan, to talk regarding the Palestinian issue.
Youssef proved to Morgan that the Palestinians are the true owners of the land, as he presented him with a bottle of olive oil, saying: “This is a gift from me and my wife, olive oil from the West Bank. Whenever I go to Jordan, and I go there a lot, my wife always asks for it from me, and confirms that it is from West Bank.
Youssef continued as he opened the bottle: “It is the best olive oil ever, and the reason is that the olive trees from which they extract it are more than 600 years old, and are passed from one generation to another, as a family heritage.”
He also added: “As for this, it is thyme. Thyme is an herb, and we add sesame to it. You can eat this meal with bread, a piece of bread that you soak in oil and then in thyme.”
Youssef explained many of the crises that the Palestinian people went through, and proved that the Palestinians are the owners of the land, amid interaction from activists on social media platforms for what he said following a question: “Why does Egypt not accept the Palestinians in Sinai?”
Regarding the Egyptians’ rejection of the presence of Palestinians in Sinai, Youssef said: “This is exactly what Israel wants, and this is the worst solution. These are Palestinians and this is their land, and then they suddenly take it. Why? They were expelled from their homes, and now another country must take them? Imagine what might happen.” to happen?”.
Youssef continued, saying: “Do you see what will happen? Imagine this – and because Israeli officials spoke openly regarding the issue and why don’t they just leave for Sinai? – Do you know what will happen? These people will be pushed to Sinai, and two million people live in a refugee camp. What do you expect to happen?” Unrest, chaos, and following a few years the Western media will come with their cameras and say, look at these Arabs; they are killing each other, it is good that Israel got rid of them, and then they will go to the West Bank, and suddenly 3.5 million people are being pushed into Jordan…”
Morgan asked a question regarding why the Palestinians did not migrate to any Arab country, and Bassem replied, saying: “Why don’t we give Florida to Israel?”
He also added: “The whole idea is, why doesn’t Jordan take them? And why doesn’t Egypt take them? The question is the same… Europe has 44 countries, so why don’t they take Israel? In America there are 50 states, so why don’t they give them Florida? The idea that you are Arabs and all of you are the same, no, because what? “What will happen next? Israel will move to Jordan and say, ‘Saudis, why don’t you take the Jordanians? This is not a solution.'”

Salalah: The threat of Cyclone Tej is over in Oman. The Oman Meteorological Center said the wind was moving towards the coast of Yemen. But the CAA notice says that wind and rain will continue and caution is required. The hurricane, which is currently a Category 1 storm, will soon weaken. It is likely to make landfall in Yemen’s Al Mahra Governorate tonight or tomorrow morning. At present the wind speed is 120 kmph. The warning states that wind and rain will continue in Dhofar Governorate and Al Wusta and therefore caution is required.
Minor effects of the cyclone started in Salalah late yesterday. The atmosphere was overcast everywhere. But neither heavy rain nor strong wind has been experienced in the town or its vicinity. Heavy rain has fallen in some provinces. Most of the governorates of Oman have received rain as part of Tej. So far there are no reports of major damage from anywhere.

USS Carney Intercepted 4 Cruise Missiles and 15 Drones: Escalating Threats in the Middle East

(CNN) — A US warship that intercepted drones and missiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday encountered a larger and more sustained bombardment than previously known, shooting down 4 cruise missiles and 15 drones in a 9-hour period, according to a US official familiar with the situation.
The USS Carney, an Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer that passed through the Suez Canal heading south on Wednesday, intercepted the missiles and drones as they headed north along the Red Sea. Its trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel, the official said, a clearer assessment than the Pentagon’s initial view.
A sustained barrage of drones and missiles aimed at Israel from far away from the Gaza conflict is one of a series of worrying signs that the war risks escalating beyond the borders of the coastal enclave.
In addition to protests at US embassies across the Middle East, US and coalition forces in Syria and Iraq have come under repeated attacks in recent days.
Pentagon press secretary Brigadier General Pat Ryder said Thursday that the missiles were fired by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen and launched “potentially toward targets in Israel.” At the briefing, Ryder said three land attack cruise missiles and “several” drones.
Some of the projectiles were traveling at altitudes that made them a potential risk to commercial aviation when they were intercepted, the US official said. The drones and missiles were intercepted with SM-2 surface-to-air missiles launched from the USS Carney.
American interceptions of Houthi launches are extremely rare, making the timing of this incident, as tensions rise in Israel, all the more significant. In October 2016, the USS Mason implemented countermeasures to stop an attempted attack in the Red Sea once morest the Navy destroyer and other nearby ships. In response, the United States fired sea-launched cruise missiles at Houthi radar facilities in Yemen.
One-way attack drones attacked two different US positions in Iraq on Wednesday, according to US Central Command. One of the attacks caused minor damage. A day later, the At-Tanf garrison in Syria, which houses US and coalition forces, was attacked by two drones, which also caused minor damage.
Early Friday morning in Iraq, two rockets targeted the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center near the airport, which houses U.S. military, diplomatic and civilian personnel, according to another U.S. defense official. One rocket was intercepted by an anti-rocket system, while the second hit an empty storage facility, the official said. No one was injured as a result of the rocket attack.
The United States has not claimed responsibility for any of the recent attacks in Iraq and Syria, although Iranian proxies have carried out similar drone and rocket attacks once morest US forces in both countries in the past.
The US military has carried out strikes once morest Iranian-backed militias in response to previous similar attacks on US forces, but the Pentagon has not yet said anything regarding its intentions.
“While I will not predict any potential response to these attacks, I will say that we will take all necessary measures to defend US and coalition forces once morest any threat,” Ryder said. “Any response, should it occur, will come at a time and in a manner of our choosing.”
