Viral Song "Boom Boom Tel-Aviv" provokes fury in Israel
ALBAWABA - On Saturday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a strong message of warning. He said that Israel is leading the world toward a big disaster and compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's goals to those of Adolf Hitler. Also Read Iran hacks Israeli home security cameras in intelligence operation
Erdogan said at the 51st meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Foreign Ministers' Council in Istanbul that Israel's recent military activities in the area, including in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, are "piracy" and are supported by the West. He said that Netanyahu's Zionist plans, like Hitler's did 90 years ago, threaten not only regional but also world security.
Erdogan said that Israel was taking advantage of the fact that the Islamic world is divided, and he asked OIC member states to work together to expose and fight Israeli violence. He warned against changes to the region that were like the Sykes-Picot deal and said that Turkey would not allow them to happen.
The president of Turkey also said that Israel was attacking Iran on purpose while nuclear talks with the US were still going on. He called the strikes a planned attempt to stop diplomatic talks.
In a separate statement, Hakan Fidan, the foreign minister of Turkey, said that Israel was making the area a "total catastrophe." He didn't believe that the problem was limited to a few countries. Instead, he said it was caused by Israeli violence.
Fidan demanded that what he called "unlimited violence" against Iran stop right away and asked Muslim countries to stop any further worsening that could threaten both regional and global safety.
The high-level OIC meeting is being held in Istanbul, and people from 57 member states and several foreign groups are there. The goal of the two-day meeting is to deal with rising tensions in the Middle East and come up with a coordinated answer to the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Top drug lord and Assad cousin arrested in Damascus sting operation
ALBAWABA - An official statement made Saturday says that Wasim al-Assad, a cousin of the former President Bashar al-Assad, was arrested by Syrian intelligence forces working with the Ministry of Interior in what was called a "tightly planned ambush." Also Read Iran hacks Israeli home security cameras in intelligence operation The Ministry said that al-Assad was captured as part of a larger effort to bring justice to the people of Syria and break up criminal networks that were still active during the Assad era. Al-Assad was long thought to be one of the country's most notorious drug traffickers and a key figure in a number of serious crimes that happened while the regime was in power. Al-Assad was being watched closely by the rest of the world. In 2023, both the U.S. Treasury and the European Union put sanctions on him because he was part of a large-scale drug dealing network in the area that helped pay for the former government. In addition to his work in the drug trade, Wasim al-Assad was in charge of a militia group in the coastal city of Latakia. This group was accused of many crimes against citizens, such as putting down large protests in the early years of the Syrian uprising. In the days before the government fell on December 8, 2024, al-Assad wrote on Facebook that armed support units would be formed in Latakia and the nearby areas to help the military. This showed how actively he was involved in helping the regime in its last days. After Bashar al-Assad's government fell, the Syrian government began a national crackdown on people they thought were guilty of war crimes, corruption, and power abuses. People think that the arrest of Wasim al-Assad was a big step forward in that effort.
