https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/4bce42c9-73e5-4671-a536-697498702dfa Soumaya Ghannoushi, a writer and expert in Middle East politics, argues that behind the façade of modernity and progress, Israel and the United Arab Emirates are quietly engineering a regional order built on disintegration. From Sudan’s charred cities to Gaza’s crushed streets, the two allies have invested heavily in a politics of controlled chaos — financing warlords, arming militias, and turning nations into battlegrounds for influence and profit. Ghannoushi explains that for Israel, fragmentation secures supremacy; for the Emirates, it buys borrowed power and global relevance. Together, they have transformed the collapse of the Arab world into a marketplace — where chaos is an investment and devastation, a business model. Support stories that matter.
