Excerpt of op-ed by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, regular columnist for the official PA daily
Headline: "The forces of change and the Coronavirus"
"The spread of the [Coronavirus] pandemic has eliminated all factors of power in the political religious streams, from the Muslim Brotherhood to the so-called 'parties of God,' including forces such as ISIS and [Jabhat] Al-Nusra…
The events have proven that these forces have failed miserably, that they have begun to crumble and disperse, and that their role has ended, as they are no longer fit to fulfill the role appointed to them. In addition,their masters in the US, the capitalist West, Israel, and Iranare at the moment in an unprecedented state of instability in the regional and global arena."
