Isra' and Mi'raj, the two parts of a Night Journey that, according to Islam, the Islamic prophet Muhammad 570–632 took during a single night around the year 621.

In the next part of the journey, the Mi'raj, he ascends into heaven where he individually greets the prophets and later speaks to 'Allah', who gives Muhammad instructions to take back to the Muslims regarding the details of prayer. The journey and ascent are marked as one of the most celebrated dates in the Islamic calendar, but happened in a foreign, Christian empire, perhpaps inspiring the prophet to imitate the
ascension of Jesus into heaven. -

2 January 2025 JP explains Hamas, Hezbollah's war against Israel, 7 fronts, shifting tactics, divided enemies, and lessons for 2025: 2 January 2025: One of the main challenges for Israel in 2024 was the multi-front war it was fighting. Hamas launched the October 7 massacre in 2023, but the multi-front war became the major challenge in 2024. After Hamas launched its attack, Hezbollah joined in, launching thousands of rockets at Israel. By this past August, the terrorist group had launched around 7,500 rockets and 200 drone attacks. The Houthis began attacking next, launching missiles and drones at Israel and then at international ships in the Red Sea. Next came the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq that began targeting Israel with drones. By the end of the year, around 200 missiles and 170 drones had been launched by the Houthis. Iran also attacked Israel twice, once in April with hundreds of drones and missiles and again in October with 180 ballistic missiles, totaling an estimated 500 projectiles overall. The fall of the Assad regime in Syria may reduce one of the fronts, as it seems that Iran can no longer entrench in Syria. This incoming year will likely see a continuing multi-front war, but one that has changed dramatically from how it looked in 2024. Last year, the Iranian-backed groups felt triumphant; now Israel has the upper hand, which is significant because these groups now are more divided than they were a year ago, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

9 November 2025 Why it took 11 years to return deceased hostage Hadar Goldin from Gaza, the Post ssks: 9 November 2025: After 11 years, Hamas has returned Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, and is story reveals how Israel’s policy on hostage deals changed after the Schalit exchange - On 1 August 2014 Hamas captured Hadar Goldin, a Lieutenant in the Givati Brigade, while he was involved in an operation to decommission a tunnel near Rafah, and they attacked him and other IDF soldiers during a temporary ceasefire, leading to the Black Friday battle in Rafah, an incident in which a number of Israeli soldiers, Hamas terrorists, and notably a significant number of Palestinian civilians were killed - When then-Givati Brigade head Ofer Winter realized that Goldin was potentially being taken (Israel did not yet know that he was dead) he ordered the Hannibal Directive, which includes opening fire in a much more extensive way than usual, as part of the idea was to take greater risks to try to prevent Hamas from successfully kidnapping a live Israeli soldier (even if part of the risk could mean endangering that soldier) to avoid giving the Gazan terror group new leverage to force Israel to return Palestinian terrorists in Israeli jails - Many of the 1,000 Palestinian security prisoners whom Israel released in exchange for Schalit after he was kidnapped by the Gazan terror group were documented to have murdered Israelis after their release, as all of these killings flipped the wider Israeli public and the political echelon from being strongly in favor of deals exchanging huge numbers of Palestinian prisoners for one or a small number of Israeli hostages to being strongly agains - Certainly, until 7 October 2023, and even afterward for much of the war, Netanyahu and top coalition officials like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir opposed more exchange deals of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages, but for much of the country, the October 7 invasion flipped public opinion back to the earlier view: It is necessary to make great sacrifices, including giving back thousands of prisoners, to get back hostages - After the final deal last month, speculation heated up about whether Goldin would be returned in the near future or whether he was one of those that Hamas had said it had lost, then 200 of Hamas’s forces became trapped in Gaza, and for them to survive and make it back into the part of Gaza controlled by Hamas, Israel made it clear that getting back Goldin was one of multiple preconditions, but now on Sunday, deceived Israel learned that this 11-year saga had finally come to a close, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

Ultra-Orthodox politicians opposed Edelstein’s attempts to insert enforcement and oversight mechanisms to ensure that haredim who receive an exemption from IDF service were actually studying in yeshiva. The protest, unlike recent haredi anti-draft protests, was organized in favor of a stricter draft law that enlists haredi Israelis alongside all other Israeli citizens, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

21 January 2026 Iran deaths go beyond protesters, hitting bystanders too, witnesses say: 21 January 2026: Iran deaths go beyond protesters, hitting bystanders too, witnesses say. Art student Arash was walking home through the streets of Tehran when a shotgun blast ended his life. He had not shouted slogans, joined protesters, or raised a fist. A friend, speaking by telephone from the Iranian capital, described the moment in a voice cracking with grief: Arash fell instantly, lifeless on the pavement. He was 22. The friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear for his security, said they had paused on the sidewalk to watch a protest in nearby Vanak Square when Mullah regime's forces arrived and began firing randomly towards the demonstrators. Arash’s death on January 8 is an example of what witnesses say has been a reality of the country's latest anti-government protests – bystanders uninvolved in the unrest caught in gunfire, or killed as they tried to flee the chaos. Force used by security forces to crush the unrest killed many civilians who were not participating, leaving relatives to scour hospitals, morgues, and detention centers for answers. Amnesty International said in a report it had documented security forces positioned on streets, rooftops – including those of residential buildings, mosques, and police stations – repeatedly firing rifles and shotguns loaded with metal pellets, often aiming at unarmed individuals’ heads and torsos. It said the evidence points to a coordinated nationwide escalation in the security forces’unlawful use of lethal force against mostly peaceful protesters and bystanders since the evening of January 8, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

Opposition party leaders expressed their support for the demonstration, sharply criticizing the government for its conduct in fighting against crime in the Arab sector, as opposition leader Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) said that it was “time for this failed government to stop treating the problems of Arab citizens of Israel as separate from the problems of the country as a whole”, adding “the government is failing to provide personal security, failing to address protection rackets, and failing in the fight against violent crime”, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

19 February 2026 European intelligence chiefs skeptical of Ukraine-Russia peace deal this year despite USA assurance: 19 February 2026: European intelligence chiefs are pessimistic about the chances of an agreement being reached this year to end Russia's war in Ukraine, despite US President Donald Trump's assertions that US-brokered talks have brought the prospect of a deal "reasonably close." The heads of five European spy agencies, who spoke to Reuters in recent days on condition of anonymity, said Russia did not want to end the war quickly. Four of them said Moscow was using the talks with the US to push for sanctions relief and business deals. The talks, the latest round of which took place in Geneva this week, are "negotiation theater," one European intelligence chief said. The remarks point to a striking gulf in thinking between European capitals and the White House, which Ukraine says wants to clinch a peace agreement by June ahead of the USA congressional mid-term elections in November. "Russia is not seeking a peace agreement. They are seeking their strategic goals, and those have not changed," one of the European intelligence chiefs said, as these neonazi Russian goals include the removal of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine becoming a "neutral" buffer between the 'West' and Russia, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

Ali added that the Israeli strikes in June focused on targeted hits against "the mercenaries of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps" and the Iranian regime's leadership, and did not cause harm to "ordinary citizens" or any economic infrastructure. Additionally, he told KAN that the regime has "brutally murdered and dismembered" over 40,000 people, and injured hundreds of thousands more during the anti-regime protests over the past two months. Israel's public broadcaster also asked Ali if he was afraid to be interviewed by Israeli radio. In response, he quoted a Persian proverb, including that if the regime kidnaps and kills him, then "at least I will rest, at least I won't feel hungry", 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

24 February 2026 Iran’s drones and missiles are a wake-up call for Israel and allies, former IAF head says: 24 February 2026: Maj.-Gen. Amikam Norkin does not mince words when assessing Israel’s most formidable adversary. “Iran has advanced technology – we can’t disparage it,” he warned in an exclusive interview. “After years of handling Russian technology, now we have to handle Iranian technology.” For the former Israeli Air Force commander, Iran’s accelerating capabilities: missiles, drones, cyber, and regional proxies, are not just a strategic challenge. They are a wake-up call for Israel and its allies to rethink how they build, deploy, and invest in defense technology. Israel, he insists, must avoid prolonged conflicts. “Israel needs short conflicts, no wars of attrition.” And it must continue to innovate faster than its adversaries, including Iran. Despite persistent regional instability, Norkin argued that Israel’s ecosystem gives it a competitive edge. “There have always been challenges in the Middle East,” he told D&T, “but there are hundreds of Israeli start-ups with operational experience.” Norkin believes Israel’s strength lies not only in its capacity for innovation but in its ability to operationalize such innovation. Israel’s recent experience over the past two years, when it handled a seven-front war on completely different fronts, showed how the military “used the same capabilities and platforms.” “The real advantage of the Israeli security industry and the air force is not only in technological development,” he said, “but in the professional ability to transform it into relevant and precise operational capability that achieves defined goals.” He points to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a prime example. “Israeli UAVs are 100% Israeli technology. The IDF isn’t flying the platform but the mission”, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports
26 February 2026 Hamas, Iran helping Russia send migrants to Europe via tunnels, USA military historian says: 26 February 2026: Russia sends migrants to Europe through secret tunnels originating in Belarus, possibly built by Hamas or Hezbollah, the Telegraph reported on Wednesday.

Katarzyna Zdanowicz of the Polish Border Force told the Telegraph that officers had uncovered "a total of four tunnels under the border with Belarus", used for smuggling migrants into the country. According to military experts questioned by the Telegraph, the only Middle Eastern groups with the capabilities of building such tunnels are Hamas, Hezbollah, certain Kurdish factions, or potentially Islamic State. “One of the things we immediately saw after the 2006 Lebanon war was parades of cement mixers queuing up in southern Lebanon... we were seeing loads and loads of Iranian tunnel construction,” Dr. Lynette Nusbacher, an American military historian, told the Telegraph. “We also have ample evidence of Hamas doing the same thing in Gaza. So if you want that deep tunnelling expertise, then the answer to your question is going to be with Middle Easterners”, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

"Overnight, the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, completed two waves of strikes in Tehran and in central Iran, during which dozens of military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian terror regime were struck," the IDF said in a statement. USA's Donald Trump said on Friday that the USA could "leave the Iran operation right now and still leave Tehran unable to rebuild for more than a decade," but explained that that's "not an acceptable situation." “If we left right now, it would take them at least 10 years to rebuild, but rebuild they will,” Trump said in the roughly 15-minute call with CNBC. If we stay longer, they’ll never rebuild,” he added.

That approach is now under strain from direct threats, as missiles and drones have reached the Gulf, including key oil and gas facilities, strategic assets and civilian sites, bringing the conflict directly to countries that had sought to stay insulated. The escalation is raising a central question across the region: whether diplomacy was ever enough to keep the war at a distance. Israeli and USA actions against Iran, including strikes on key facilities such as Kharg Island, which hosts a large portion of Iran’s oil exports, have widened the confrontation and altered its strategic logic. What had been framed as a contained escalation is increasingly perceived in Gulf capitals as a multilayered regional crisis, live updates, 'The Jerusalem Post' reports

The report points out how Iran used decentralized forces during the conflict and to close the Strait, with small boats leading the operations to mine the waterway, and without a clear command chain on how to do it. These make the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's main oil waterways, through which 20% of global consumption passes, almost impossible to transit.

According to Amnesty international, migrant workers account for more than half of Qatar’s population of 3 million and 90% of its total work force. Many of them, from impoverished South Asian nations like India, Nepal and the Philippines, arrived to work on the $220 billion World Cup infrastructure project. Despite Qatar being the fourth-richest country in the world, a migrant worker typically earns €1.30 per hour while working long hours and an average of six days a week. Although Qatar has now had five years to phase out the infamous kafala system, it is still very much in practice. In addition to that, European non-profit Carbon Market Watch CMW dismissed Qatar’s zero-carbon footprint claims, saying 'claims that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will not contribute additional carbon emissions to the atmosphere are completely unrealistic.

Should Qatar exploit all of its oil and gas reserves it will eventually add an enormous 50bn metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere once burned, which is more than the entire annual emissions of the whole world, the new research, shared with the Guardian, has found -
8 December 2022: World Cup host Qatar's oil and gas fields are projected to add an additional 50 gigatons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, smashing the UN 1.5°C warming limit and causing over US$ 20 trillion of damage and 11 million deaths. Qatar is already one of the biggest exporters of fossil gas, a main driver of the climate emergency, and together with foreign companies, it plans to increase extraction and fossil gas liquefaction in the coming years, 'BankTrack' reports

2017 'Demography, Migration, and the Labour Market in Qatar': 2017 'Demography, Migration, and the Labour Market in Qatar' by Francoise de Bel-Air, published in GLMM - EN - No. 3/2017, saying 'in 2016, Qatar ranked first worldwide in terms of per capita GDP', due to its huge hy-drocarbon reserves and to the small size of its resident population (2.5 million in June 2017). Exploiting the hydrocarbon resources and channelling them into ambitious development policies required massive imports of foreign labour. The country’s total population has grown seven-fold since the mid-1980s,
moreover, foreign nationals made up an estimated 91% of all residents (aged 15 and above) and up to 95% of all employed population in 2015. The awarding of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Qatar in 2010 turned the spotlight on the country’s dilemma regarding the 'number vs. rights trade-off' issue: Qatar has one of the most constraining kafala systems in the region, which underwent only minor changes in a reform enacted in December 2016. Paradoxically, demographic data also indicate that
a growing share of foreigners live with their families and give birth in the country. Among these may be Syrian nationals who have come to the country since 2011, the beginning of Assad's war against the Syrian people. As of 2017, foreign population growth rates have started decelerating, as past infrastructural projects achieved completion, new migration policies that privilege skills over number are initiated, and political uncertainty looms. As in 2015/2016 non-nationals numbered 87,3% of Qatar's population, the countries of origin included India (6,50,000 citizens), Nepal (3,50,000 citizens), Bangladesh (80,000 citizens), Philippines (2,60,000 citizens), Egypt (2,00,000 citizens), Sri Lanka (1,45,256 citizens), Pakistan (1,25,000 citizens), Syria (54,000 citizens), Sudan (50,000 citizens), Indonesia (43,000 citizens), Jordan (40,000 citizens), Iran (30,000 citizens), Lebanon (24,000 citizens), Ethiopia (22,000 citizens), Tunisia (20,000 citizens), Palestine (20,000 citizens), Kenya (14,000 citizens), Eritrea (10,000 citizens). Indians, Nepalese, Filipinos, and Bangladeshis alone made up about 78% of the foreign labourers in September 2013.

26 January 2025 Qatari Al-Jazeera TV show praises October massacre, Hamas, amid ceasefire mediation: 26 January 2025: Praise of Hamas’s October 7 “achievements and capabilities”, justification of the massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri, and “exclusive Hamas footage” of Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Mohammad Deif all starred in the latest episode of the Qatari state-owned television channel Al Jazeera’s documentary series, What is Hidden is Greater. Notably, the show’s presenter, Tamer Almisshal, received direct instructions and requests from Hamas, according to Hamas documents exposed by the IDF spokesperson last October. During the latest one-hour-long episode, Almisshal presented events prior to and after the October 7 massacre based on what he said was “documented evidence”, During the interview, Haddad, his face blurred, said that the massacre was, in fact, a preemptive strike.
He said that Hamas had obtained a document issued by Israel’s 8200 intelligence unit through a breach in their servers, which had to do with preparations for an impending attack by Israel. It is commonly known, however, that unit 8200 is described as an intelligence gathering unit; it is not supposed to be entrusted with planning offensive strikes. “We remained in contact with all the brokers, issuing intelligence gathering orders and completing preparations for a military option,” Haddad added, hinting at possible prior knowledge of Hamas’s plans to attack by other regional actors. He also thanked the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the militias in Iraq, as well as the “brothers” in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Their children, Jalila, now 14, and Zayed, now nine, had annual allowances of approximately £10m each, as well as access to a fleet of aeroplanes owned by the sheikh, including a custom-fit Boeing 747 upon which he insisted the children should travel, helicopters, a $400m superyacht and luxurious properties worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
