Press Release
An Embassy of 15 Floors Above the Wounds of the Islamic Ummah!
(Translated)

Despite the blatant hostility openly expressed by the enemies of Allah, the Jews, towards the Islamic Ummah and its lands, they never miss an opportunity to speak about reshaping the Middle East, fighting Islam, and defending the West in its confrontation with the Muslims. Despite all the brutal massacres that have become an inseparable part of their daily actions against our people in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere, and despite the continuous threats and warnings directed at everyone who stands in the way of their expansionist plans, despite all this and more, the rulers of the Muslims continue to disregard the feelings of the Islamic Ummah, as well as the rulings and established principles of Islam, in a clear denial of the Ummah’s suffering, pain, and the calamities inflicted upon it at the hands of the Jewish entity.

On Tuesday, the Planning and Building Committee in the occupied Tel Aviv area approved a plan to construct the permanent building of the UAE Embassy, which will be built in Herzliya. This comes within the framework of the continued implementation of the Abraham Accords and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Jewish entity and the UAE in 2020.

The new building will serve as the embassy’s permanent headquarters, replacing the current arrangement under which it operates from temporary offices in Tel Aviv and Herzliya. According to the approved plan, a building reaching 15 floors in height will be constructed, with a total building area of 15,000 square metres on a plot of approximately 2.5 dunams. Up to 20% of the building rights will be allocated to residences for the ambassador and members of the diplomatic corps on the upper floors of the building.

Thus, the rulers of the Muslims continue to play the role of supporters and reinforcers of the usurping entity, even during the most sensitive and embarrassing times, showing no concern for the calamity suffered by the Ummah and the people of Palestine at the hands of this usurping entity. In doing so, they confirm that, until their very last breath, they will remain servants carrying out the plans of the colonisers who usurped the land of the Muslims.

The Ummah’s calamity lies, first and foremost, in its rulers. Had it not been for them, colonialism would never have gained access to us, nor would it have established a foothold in our lands. Palestine and the rest of the occupied Muslim lands would not have remained occupied for even a single day. The Ummah and its armies are capable of liberating the lands of the Muslims and driving out the colonisers. Nothing prevents them from doing so except the rulers’ collaboration and their betrayal of Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.

There is no path towards the Ummah’s liberation and the restoration of its authority, sovereignty, and freedom unless the Ummah rids itself of its collaborating rulers and give bayah to one Khalifah Rashid (rightly guided Caliph) for the entire Ummah, who will restore our glory, our sacred sites, and our lands, and bring the era of the Ruwaibidat (incompetent lowly rulers) to an end. Allah (swt) says:

[وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ] “And to Allah belongs all honour, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.” [TMQ Al-Munafiqun:8].
