Abstract

The phenomenon of terrorism which is the subject of world discussion today, namely ISIS has attracted an Egyptian writer to be illustrated in a novel entitled Habībī Dā‘isyī. This novel tells the story of the struggle of a woman and her family in facing terror committed by ISIS. Laila was involved in and joined ISIS along with several other Egyptian women. At that time she felt ignored and pressured by her own family. The novel is examined and examined through Gramsci's Hegemony theory related to intellectual-moral leadership and its dominance to find out various acts of terror being excercised, in addition to how to hegemony Egyptian society, which is the setting and character of this novel. The analysis of the novel shows that ISIS is a terrorist organization which inculcates the ideology of 'jihad' to attract public sympathizers. ISIS uses violence in its actions to dominate and cause many casualties. In addition to these two things, there is an important figure, namely the leader who calls himself as khalīfah which compiles everything, therefore ISIS is known throughout the world today. All their committed actions aim to establish ad-Daulah al-Islāmiyyah or Khilāfah Islāmiyyah 'Islamic state', a country that upholds the commands and prohibitions in the Shari'a of Allah SWT.

Abstract

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country in the Middle East with significant potential for oil reserves. This condition is an advantage that the UAE can leverage to build cooperation with other countries. One potential partner for substantial oil trade investment is the European Union (EU). This research aims to describe the investment opportunities for the UAE in the oil sector with the EU. The method used is descriptive qualitative, involving describing and validating the phenomenon and analyzing it from the perspective of national and international trade interests. The results indicate that, with its oil potential, the UAE has a significant opportunity to invest in oil trade with the EU. This opportunity is enhanced by the UAE's existing positive relationship with the EU. Therefore, the UAE can capitalize on the EU's conditions, which restrict prices and embargo Russian oil, potentially becoming a major oil supplier to the EU. Consequently, the UAE's economy would grow, strengthening its influence in the EU region.

Abstract

The normalization of ties between Israel and four Arab countries (Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan) starting in 2020 through the US-facilitated Abraham Accords opened a new paradigm of peace in the greater Middle East and North African region. Optimists embrace the Accords as the harbinger of a new era of Israel-Arab relations and a renewed opportunity for peace in the region. Others consider them as mere official pronouncements by involved parties and without regard to the urgent and long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This paper argues that the Abraham Accords are based solely on the national interests of the signatories and the facilitator, the United States, and not primarily intended for restoring Israel-Arab ties and regional peace and security. This paper begins by examining the prospects and challenges of peacebuilding in the Middle East. The discussion proceeds to the pragmatism of the Abraham Accords, i.e., its strategic advantages for the signatories and the U.S. Finally, the paper briefly explores the reception of relevant actors in the Middle East and the wider Asian region, particularly Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, and China.
