ElBaradei: Arabs believe ‘western world is completely biased’
Egyptian Nobel Peace prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei has posted a scathing statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, in which he summarises the prevailing sentiment in the Arab world.
In the post, the Egyptian talks about the anger many Arabs feel towards not only Israel’s assault on Gaza but their recognition of the West’s double standards and the impotence of international law.
“The prevailing mood amongst the majority of Arabs today is visceral anger and despair rekindling feelings of injustice and humiliation that date back to the Iraq war and numerous past tragedies in the region,” he starts, continuing that for Arabs:
“The current war is part of Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ to transfer Palestinians to Jordan and Sinai and liquidate the Palestinian question.
“The war is fundamentally a religious war, a belief confirmed by utterances of some US officials.”
He also mentions that there is resentment towards the Arab elites who have been “co-opted” by the West.
