JaFaJ

1. Summary: The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror group made two major announcements in the past week – the death of its Caliph, Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, and the appointment of his successor, Abu Al-Hussein Al-Husseini Al-Qurashi. Very little is known about how al-Hashimi al-Qurashi died, nor about the new terror leader Al-Husseini Al-Qurashi and how he was selected. Through our investigations, JaFaJ has confirmed that Al-Husseini Al-Qurashi is Iraqi, was born in the Baghdad area, is in his mid-40s and is a member of the Hashemite clan whose members claim to be direct descendants of Prophet Muhammad. For the time being, the position of the Caliph is rather symbolic because ISIS no longer controls any significant areas in either Iraq or Syria. Nonetheless, ISIS remains a potential threat as both countries remain unstable and the ISIS roots have stretched around the world.
2. On the 30th of November 2022, the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS) posted an online audio message through its media arm, Al Furqan Group. In the message, ISIS spokesman Abu Omar Al Muhajir announced the death of the terror group’s “Caliph”, Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi in battle “fighting the enemies of God”.
3. Without providing any details about the terror leader’s death, Abu Omar Al-Muhajir declared a successor, Abu Al-Hussein Al-Husseini Al-Qurashi, as the new Caliph.
Who is Al-Qurashi?
————————
4. ISIS spokesman did not disclose any details about Al-Qurashi other than him being a “veteran jihadist”. This has caused all forms of speculations about ISIS’s actions, specifically for not parading their “Caliph” as usual. Some even went as far as claiming Al-Qurashi did not exit.
Some Confirmation About Al-Quraishi
————————————————
5. While not much information is available about the new ISIS Caliph, JaFaJ has confirmed what several Western intelligence agencies know to date: that he is an Iraqi national born and raised in the central area around Baghdad, is in his mid-40s and has was captured and imprisoned by the US troops during the US occupation of Iraq sometime between 2005 and 2006. Additionally, he is a Hashemite, and thus claims to be a direct descendant of The Prophet Muhammad. [COMMENT: Millions around the world claim to be Hashemites. This claim is a general sense of entitlement, with the Hashemites being “the preferred” rule of Muslim nations. This is why the Kings of Jordan and Morocco highly publicize their Hashemite heritage. END COMMENT]
Nothing Unexpected
—————————
6. JaFaJ has confirmed that the selection of the mystery ISIS leader is not surprising, because both of the previous ISIS “Caliphs” were Iraqi Sunnis, in their 40s, and grew up around the Iraqi capital Baghdad, as well as belonging to the Hashemite clan. [COMMENT: The two previous ISIS leaders were Hashemites, including Abu Baker Al-Baghdadi and Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurashi who was killed in an American military operation last March in northwestern Syria. END COMMENT]
A Caliph of Nothing
————————-
7. Al-Quraishi’s claim for Caliphdom is rather symbolic, because ISIS does not currently control any significant territories thanks to a series of crushing defeats at the hands of US-backed Syrian and Iraqi troops. Even so, they are active in a variety of nations, either directly or through the support of other terrorist organizations, and if allowed to flourish, can (and will) cause problems. As a result, security in both Syria and Iraq remains fragile, a situation that ISIS will not miss to exploit when the window of opportunity presents itself.

1. Summary: Jordanian media has recently leaked news about the nomination of a new American Ambassador to Jordan Yael Lempert. A veteran diplomat, Lempert currently serves as the Acting Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs. The Jordanian media has been welcoming Lempert’s nomination with a “song and da nce”, as a sign of Jordan’s king trying to over-welcome and perhaps impress the new ambassador. JaFaJ sources confirm this is all a part of the attempt by the king and queen to secure western support for their son to become King as Abdullah is contemplating early retirement to defuse the restless and angry Jordanian people. The Jordanian opposition on the other hand is more sceptical of the new Ambassador and sees her as just an implementor of Biden’s policies which they see as “unconditional support for Abdullah” at the expense of Jordanians. Despite the drama the Jordanian regime is trying to attach to Lempert’s appointment, she is not expected to trigger any major changes as it will remain business as usual at the US Embassy in Amman.
2. Jordanian news sites have leaked the news Yael Lempert is the incoming United States Ambassador to Jordan. JaFaJ sources in Washington DC confirm this to be true and claim Lempert was hand-picked by the Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and recommended to President Biden. A veteran diplomat, Lampert has served in some of the most challenging posts, including Iraq shortly after the American invasion and Egypt. For the Jordanian job, Lempert will leave her current position as Acting Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs. She will be replacing Henry Wooster, the outgoing US Ambassador who was appointed by Trump barely three years ago.
Favored by the King and His Wife
———————————————–
3. The state-controlled Jordanian media has been celebrating Lempert’s nomination as US Ambassador to Jordan. Several sites reported “Known for her love for Jordanian shawarma”, with a photo of her eating the traditional Arab meat sandwich from Reem shawarma, the most famous shawarma joint in Amman. Jo24.net, a Jordanian site known to be close to the Jordanian intelligence department, described Lempert as “extremely cautious, silent, and reserved”. According to those same sites, “It is likely that Lempert supports the Democratic Party and that she engages in her tasks with the utmost craftsmanship and professionalism, and without arrogance and fuss.”
4. This passionate, early welcome from the Jordanian regime’s mouthpiece, exhibits profound approval by the Hashemite Royal Court and the King’s office. A Jordanian intelligence source confirmed with JaFaJ that “The King didn’t like the old [ex] Ambassador because he applied Trump’s policies.” The source went on to add that “you also must remember who the real boss of this country is: the Queen is the boss, and she hopes that the new ambassador will help her son become king”.
5. JaFaJ has learned from sources within the Hashemite Royal Family that Queen Rania is avidly rounding up global support for her son, Crown Prince Hussein, to replace his father as King. King Abdullah II is apparently “fully supportive of the move” because it is a way to defuse the Jordanian public and open a new chapter with his son.
6. Nonetheless, the royal couple has been facing substantial obstacles in making their son a king. The first obstacle is the public’s anger toward the royal family, from both, the Jordanian Palestinian heritage and the Bedouin community as well. Both sides blame the royal family’s lavish and flamboyant lifestyle for the extreme economic hardship and the heavy security hand the king has been treating his opposition and the systematic discrimination against the Palestinian majority which has become more intense in the past few years.
7. Additionally, the Crown Prince’s lifestyle could be a major obstacle to his parents’ plans. While there is widespread national ‘conversation’ that Hussein is a homosexual, someone from Rania’s inner circle reported to JaFaJ that “He is definitely bisexual, but not strictly homosexual”. True or not, both claims have made the Crown Prince unacceptable the in eyes of a very conservative Jordanian society.
7. With the King and Queen openly desperate to crown their son Hussein, Western political sources close to Queen Rania’s Office have reported that she is betting that she will be able to recruit the new American ambassador in the hopes of securing political and economic support for her son. The source added, “Rania has a perception that personal connections to influential individuals may change the situation on the ground, but she does not necessarily understand that Western countries have government bodies that require due process”. The source continued, “She is delusional in the sense that she thinks she could turn things around with one phone call to what she believes is the right person – she has even called Sarah Netanyahu asking her for support for her son [the Crown Prince]”. [COMMENT: Sarah Netanyahu is the wife of the Israeli Prime Minister elect Benjamin Netanyahu. END COMMENT]
Jordan’s Opposition is Not Thrilled
——————————————-
8. Unlike the Hashemite regime, the Jordanian Opposition does not seem to be very happy with the new appointment. An example of this was a tweet by Mohammad Btaibet, a senior member of the Jordanian Opposition Coalition (JOC), Btaibet wrote: “Abdullah II and Rania Antoinette of the Arabs are playing a game they can’t play, they are trying to change the American ambassador to Jordan”
[https://twitter.com/btaibet/status/1593414729590099968?s=20&t=taV8vmANe0_w74Z66MhjYw]
9. An Israeli source who is familiar with the JOC reported to JaFaJ, “The Opposition is convinced that the King should have been overthrown long ago, and was saved by the Democrats, particularly President Obama”. The source continued by saying that “They blame the Democrats for giving more years to the king’s iron fisted rule, and say that they cannot trust this Ambassador, Blinken and or the Democrats”.
10. A British politician who has a working relationship with the de facto leader of Jordan’s opposition, Mudar Adnan Zahran, quoted him as saying “I served in a senior position for the US Embassy Amman and I have come to believe Ambassadors aide policies, they do not make policy. Policies are made in Washington, the incoming Ambassador will only follow Biden’s policies which appear to be identical to Obama’s; unconditional support for Abdullah, and that the support came at the expense of the Jordanian people’s freedom and livelihoods”. He added that, “Sadly, the Dems don’t seem to understand that regimes come and go and that the people remain and it appears that they have gone all in on a King who is in a very fragile position and is losing credibility with those who matter, minute by minute, including the USA, and his own subjects – the Jordanian people”.
Her Jewish Heritage A Non-Issue
———————————————
11. Lempert is Jewish, though her upbringing is rather secular. Despite this, there does not seem to be any evidence of public resentment of her Jewish faith. Comments made by Jordanians on social media did not refer to her Jewish heritage despite her first name is very Hebrew. Instead, comments made by Jordanians over Twitter and Facebook ranged between welcoming her and questioning Jordan’s ties to America. Nonetheless, few comments joked about her being “the new American boss for Jordan” and the “the US Embassy being the real Jordanian government”.
Business as Usual
————————
12. Despite the melodramatic and unprecedented welcome from Jordan’s King-controlled media and the apparent anger from Jordan’s opposition, Lempert is not expected to launch any drastic changes in the way the Government of the United States (GUS) deals with Abdullah or his opposition. Lempert will not be anybody’s messiah. As for Hussein’s ambitions for the throne, this call is far above the pay rate and power of the new ambassador. Hence, it is safe to say that the GUS will not do anything differently in Jordan unless a drastic event is to take place, for example, a massive revolution or an ailment by the king, or his death. Hence, it will only be business as usual.

1. Summary: Having been heavily focused on the war in Ukraine, Western intelligence agencies have made an unexpected find: Hussain Tlesh. Hussian Tlesh is a Libyan Islamist who manages a Ponzi scheme out of the Ukraine with his two sons. The proceeds from this “venture” are used to finance terrorism in Libya at the grassroots level. Tlesh is a retired USSR-trained fighter pilot. Intelligent, calculating, organized and very secretive his hidden low approach to live has helped him and his sons fly under the radar. Tlesh is helped most by his connections with the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government of Western Libya. A native of Tripoli, Tlesh sustains connections with known members of the Islamic State terror group, which has gone into hibernation in Libya but remains dangerous and enjoys extensive support across Western Libya. Tlesh uses his position as Executive Director of the Al Ahli Club soccer team as cover for his financial operations, including providing money to terrorists in the forms of “Assistance” and “grants”. He also has been serving as a cash handler for radical Islamists in Libya thanks to his Club travels. Thanks to the war in Ukraine, Tlesh and his sons surfaced on the radar screens of several security US and European agencies, as well as the Ukrainian military intelligence. Additionally, because of his “business”, both his sons who also reside in the Ukraine, are under very heavy surveillance by their counterterrorism bodies. The significance of this case is this: Tlesh represents a textbook case of “terrorist evolution”, the evolution of terrorists who have become accustomed to settling for small, consistent successes rather than major yet short-lived achievements.
2. JaFaJ has confirmed that Libyan national Hussian Tlesh is an active financier of small time terrorists and radicals. JaFaJ sources added that “Tlesh has surfaced lately on the radar screen of two different Western security agencies, and has connections to Ukraine where two of his children reside.” The source added that Tlesh came to the attention of Western Intelligence Agencies shortly after the war in Ukraine began thanks to the actions of his son Mahmoud Tlesh. Mahmoud was spotted making, receiving and distributing large sums of money in what can only be considered “shady transactions”. The ongoing surveillance of Mahmoud has led to counterterrorism agencies focusing in on his father, Hussian.
3. In his early 60s, Hussian Tlesh is a native of Tripoli and is publically known to be very close to the Muslim Brotherhood led government of Western Libya. His position as “Senior Administrator” of the popular soccer team, Al Ahli Club, has fortified his image as a community figure and allowed him access to several Libyan officials, including the Libyan Sports Minister, Abdul Shafee Al Juaifi. [COMMENT: Since the toppling of Qaddafi, Libya has been split between two governments, the Muslim Brotherhood Wefaq Government which controls Western Libya and the moderate Khalifa Haftar Government which controls most of Eastern Libya with Benghazi as its capital. All of the Wefaq’s top officials are Muslim Brotherhood members and many have had open ties to the Islamic State in Libya. END COMMENT]
4. A former Russian Mig 25 fighter pilot, Hussian Tlesh received his training in the 1980s in the former Soviet Union. Disciplined, calculating and a steadfast organizer, Hussain is known to effectively “fly under the radar”, despite his popular position as leader of a popular soccer team. As such, he maintains a low profile and operates his financial connections with terrorists without fanfare or noise. Recent communications surveillance has shown him to be very discreet when using his phone and online communications, especially when he speaks to Mahmud, who resides in Kyiv.
5. An Islamist radical in ideology, Hussain Tlesh is not reluctant to breach radical views within the ranks of players and administrators of the Al Ahli Club. According to inside sources, Tlesh is known to have facilitated the hiring of a former Islamic State jihadist within the club, and openly brags to his subordinates and players about Jihad and his network of grassroots terrorists who are loyal to him.
A Low Roller, A High Achiever
—————————————
6. According to JaFaJ sources, Hussian Tlesh never deals in massive money transactions. The largest amount of money he has received from abroad was USD $28,000. Careful to remain untouchable, he receives smaller amounts of money through multiple transactions, transactions that are laundered through various questionable ventures. To increase his profits while hiding more money, he uses his cover as the Senior Al Ahli Club Executive to travel to multiple countries, sometimes more than once a month. JaFaJ sources have confirmed that surveillance of the subject shows that two of the trips he made in 2022, were to collect money from Islamists and suspected Jihadists. He then brought the money back to Libya where he delivered it to known Islamists, including what the intelligence sources have described as “Active Islamic State members who have been recently relocated to Tripoli after having been released from the jails of Haftar government”.
7. Describing the rather humble amounts of money Hussian Tlesh has been funnelling to Libya’s radical elements is very dangerous. A Western intelligence source who is involved in counterterror financing in North Africa has confirmed to JaFaJ that “Terrorism is a cheap crime, a few thousand dollars worth of TNT could kill 100 people, therefore we cannot overlook any amount of money trickling down into the hands of terrorists”. When asked about Hussian Tlesh, the source responded, “He and others are on our radar screen”.
8. A Libyan intelligence source from the Haftar led government reported to JaFaJ “We can’t take people like Hussain Tlesh lightly, the Wefaq Government is ISIS [the Islamic State] with make up on its face”. The source added, “Terrorists like Tlesh bring money to the small terrorists, and this helps keep sleeper cells keep alive”.
9. The Libyan source noted that “His position as a leader of a sports team gives him some kind of protection. And if we call him out, the Muslim Brotherhood will make fun of us and call us paranoid. Nonetheless, we’re looking closely at him because he cooperates with questionable Arab agencies. The source concluded that “he is not the only financier of terrorism in the Wefaq government – remember the entire government there is Muslim Brotherhood”.
The Tlesh Terror Money Factory
———————————–
10. JaFaJ sources have confirmed that the flow of Hussian Tlesh’s terror money starts in Ukraine, with his son Mahmoud. A Libyan national who resides in Kyiv, told JaFaJ that Mahmoud runs an extensive Ponzi scheme, and that the scheme generates upwards of USD $30,000 a month. To do so, Mahmoud facilitates this scheme by targeting Arab victims over social media, and does so by begging them to help his wife, a Ukrainian Muslim convert named Hayat Tlesh. Using several fake names and shell companies to hide the money and themselves, the couple operates from a flat near Independence Square on Khreshchatyk Street in Kyiv. They reside there with their three children Amina, Larin and Adam. The said property’s location coordinates: 50.45000° N, 30.52361° E. One of Mahmoud Tlesh’s sales pitches to his victim revolves around his unique way of using cryptocurrency, and on occasion, baits his hook by giving prospects with small amounts of money to sweeten the deal. He primarily uses a specific ATM to make transfers and receive money, located at Buybank.io, Exchange Bitcoin in Antonovycha St, 45, Kyiv, Ukraine, 02000.
11. To perfect his Ponzi scheme, he sustains extensive outreach to Arabs residing in Europe, with a focus on Germany and the United Kingdom. For this, he uses the Facebook account https://www.facebook.com/tlesh.tlesh and an Instagram account, https://instagram.com/papa_mahmoud?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= . He also uses a British issued burner phone, with the number +44 7724 690010, and keeps his communications strictly to WhatsApp.
12. According to JaFaJ sources, Mahmoud Tlesh has enlisted the help of his 25-year-old brother, Mohaned Tlesh. Mohaned also resides in Ukraine, yet makes regular trips to Dusseldorf, Germany driving a Hyundai Elantra with the Ukrainian licence plate AA5341KM. In Germany, he deposits his illegally obtained money. Mohaned also uses his social media accounts to recruit victims of the Ponzi scheme. These are Facebook accounts https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003341269283
and Instagram account https://instagram.com/mohaned_tlesh?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
13. Despite their illegal money making schemes, both of Hussian Tlesh’s children harbor very radical views about Libya, Islam, and non-Muslims. Recent surveillance has shown the younger brother to be openly supportive of the Islamic State. He has made claims to fellow Arabs in Ukraine that Libya was “much better off when it was under the Daesh [Islamic State] ruler”.
14. Both men have sustained a good quality of life for themselves while at the same time wiring substantial money to their father in Tripoli. The father has used the money to finance terror fighters who are not employable because of their connections to the Islamic State in Libya. He has provided money to Libyans connected to terrorism, some known to have directly engaged in battles against the Benghazi based Libyan Government. Tlesh has also used some of the money to finance events for radical preachers in Libya which he uses to target young people.
The Big Boys Are Watching
———————————-
15. Several American and European counter-terrorism bodies know of Hussian Tlesh’s terror financing activities. JaFaJ has confirmed that the EU S Department of Treasury, Federal Bureau of Investigations, the US Department of Homeland Security, and the US Defence Intelligence Agency are already aware of this individual, and further measures are in the works against Hussian Tlesh. They include barring entry into 2 Arab countries including Egypt which he has entered under the cover of the soccer team he manages. Additionally, further measures are already in place to monitor both his sons with potential prosecution in the works.
Conclusion
————–
16. Hussian Tlesh is a textbook case of the terrorist evolution. Evidence clearly suggests that terrorists in general (and terror financing in particular), have adapted to the stricter post 9-11 world. This “evolution” is exhibited in Mr. Tlesh’s operations, operations that fly under the radar, which focus on small and consistent transactions that are made with humility rather than a mother of all successes like previous orthodox tourists do. Additionally, instead of having a head on collision with the government where he lives, he operates within the government hierarchy. What helps him (and those like him), is the fact that many Islamist governments have been empowered over the past two decades. Examples of this are found in Libya, Iraq, Jordan and Yemen, and not from more traditional countries like Germany and Belgium. In other words, the Tlesh’s avoid strict regulations found in those countries by utilising the Internet. This by itself is an exhibit of how the internet has brought down barriers and neutralized the significance of borders.
17. As you read this, terror financier Tlesh is scamming individuals in France for money that he eventually to Libya where it is used to support the Islamic State. At the same time, he targets Arabs and Muslims residing in Europe with his Ponzi scheme, making them co-financiers of terror without even realizing it.
18. Instead of going big and going in a bang, new age terrorists like Tlesh seek to secure consistency and avoid being hunted down by much stronger adversaries like the United States. While the terrorists have evolved, counterterrorism bodies across the world have failed to catch up, and that’s because they have been outsmarted by terrorists while they are still playing by the old rules.

1. Summary: It appears that the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA) – Mahmud Abbas – has an heir apparent: Hussein Al-Sheikh, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). At 61, Al-Sheikh is agile, professional and maintains good working ties with the United States and Israel. Nonetheless, he is facing the PLO’s “old guard” who have more credentials, tribal and public support, and access to resource than he does. The future of a post-Abbas Palestine remains in question and Al-Sheikh cannot embody a certain answer to that at the time.
2. In May 2022, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas appointed Hussein Al-Sheikh as Secretary of the Executive Committee of the PLO. The position is more of “an everything Minister” in the PLO, and is considered one of the strongest position within the organization. The general feeling within the ranks of the PLO and the Israeli establishment is that Abbas had informally declared Al-Sheikh his heir apparent.
3. An Israeli official has confirmed with JaFaJ that “Al-Sheikh is the most likely candidate to serve as Abbas’s successor”. He added “Abbas has expressed this to us, the Americans don’t seem to mind him, and we won’t argue”. The source added, “All we want is for the security coordination to remain and not to see the territories [the West bank] ruled by Hamas.” The source continued by saying, “we don’t care who fills the job as long as these issues are secured”. On whether Al-Sheikh could survive as the PA’s president, the official said, “We won’t interfere in their internal affairs, we know and they know it’s in our mutual interest to keep the cooperating going, or they will lose”. An American with connections to intelligence operations in Jerusalem told JaFaJ sources: “Leading the Palestinians is a hard and dangerous job, what else do you think is the reason Abbas won’t pass it to one of his sons?”
4. At 61, Al-Sheikh is agile, intelligent, well-spoken, very organized and somewhat open about his political aspirations. Despite not being the most famous or well known Palestinian official, Al-Sheikh has been the Chief of the Higher Civil Affairs Committee (CAC) since 2007. This committee oversees all sorts of civil needs of the Palestinians from Israel. This has made Al-Sheikh a very influential man. Be it treatment at Israeli hospitals, special permission to visit Jerusalem, or a work permit in Israel, Al-Sheikh is the gatekeep for all of these. This shows the level of confidence Abbas had in Al-Sheikh by giving him this very sensitive position at an early stage of Abbas’s presidency.
5. Additionally, his position at CAC has required sustaining good ties to both the Israeli civil government bodies and the military. Therefore, Al-Sheikh is quite respected and trusted by several Israeli officials and high-ranking service men.
6. In addition, being the czar of Palestinian access to civil services from Israel has won him many favors with many Palestinians. For example, a work permit to Israel is considered a golden ticket for the average Palestinian, and Al-Sheikh has facilitated the issuance of thousands of these over the years.
Al-Sheikh’s Weaknesses
——————————
7. While nobody expects Al-Sheikh’s succession of Abbas to be easy, Al-Sheikh is facing problems that may make such a move rather very hard, if not impossible. The first is his relatively young age and combat history. At almost 62, Al-Sheikh is considered a “kid” by the mainstream PLO dinosaurs, including the big names like Abbas Zaki, Ahmed Qurei and Jibreel Al-Rjoub. While most of those strong men are in their eighties, they remain influential and are apparently clutching to their positions of power, seemingly to the last breath. And even in death, their children are deeply rooted inside the PLO establishment and the PA government bodies. To them, Al-Sheik is an outsider and amateur.
8. Furthermore, the PLO dinosaurs question Al-Sheikh’s credentials as a “freedom fighter”. His history of activities against Israel including being a member of the coordination committee of the first intifada which landed him a decade behind bars of Israeli jails. Nonetheless, having spent all his life in the West Bank, Al-Sheikh never took part in the PLO’s armed battles against Israel, which the PLO old guards wear as a badge of honor. For example, Al-Sheikh never participated in the Lebanese Civil War. In other words, they will never see Al-Sheikh as “combat tested” and therefore are less likely to accept him as their leader.
Lack of Tribal Connections
———————————
9. Additionally, Al-Sheikh does not belong to any major Palestinian tribes. Unlike some of his potential adversaries, his family tree is rather small, numbering a few hundred at best. In addition, born in Ramallah, Al-Sheikh does not belong to any of the Palestinian towns known for tribal concentration and loyalty to natives. For example, residents of Hebron are made up of very large tribes who are known to favor and support all PLO officials who are natives of the city. Al-Sheikh does not enjoy any of this.
Accusations of Corruption and Nepotism
————————————————–
10. Like all Palestinian officials, Al-Sheikh has been accused of corruption. A fan of fancy imported suits and German cars, Al-Sheikh’s lifestyle remains within the norm of the average Palestinian official. Nonetheless, his enemies can mobilize these accusations to launch a campaign against him if he succeeds Abbas. Traces of it can already be found in the Palestinian media. Al-Sheikh does not have either the connections, the public support or the muscle to counter such a campaign.
Lack of Media Exposure, the New York Times Failure
—————————————————————–
11. Additionally, Al-Sheikh does not have any media backing under his belt. The Palestinian media is controlled by either the PLO old guard or Hamas. Both are his rivals. Furthermore, Arab media is controlled by the Gulf States, and they don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to him. He had one run with Western Media upon advice from one of his friends who had a connection to the New York Times (NYT) correspondent, Patrick Kingsley. Despite having given Kingsley an exclusive and being too accommodating to him, the NYT story turned out to be negative, focusing on Al-Sheikh’s “liaison to Israel”, noting that some critics call him a “spokesman for the occupation”.
12. The NYT’s description of “liaison to Israel” was not exactly accurate because Al-Sheikh coordinates civil affairs and facilitates Palestinian access to Israeli services. By using the word “liaison” or “coordination with Israel”, the Palestinians usually refer to security cooperation which they hold responsible for the death and imprisonment of thousands of Palestinian militants. Nonetheless, this incident exhibits Al-Sheikh’s lack of experience when it comes to Western media, which would be happy to chew him up and spit him out alive if he becomes president.
Abbas is Rooting for Al-Sheikh
————————————-
13. JaFaJ sources who are close to the Presidential Office in the PA have confirmed that “Abu Mazen [Abbas] is lobbying hard for Al-Sheikh”. A source who is also very close with the Palestinian Intelligence Department, has confirmed that “Abu Mazen has already informed the Israelis, the Americans and the Britons that he wants this man as his successor, and is rallying support for him”. The source added that he should not expect any serious opposition from abroad, and that “the only trouble he may receive are those from Mohammad Dahlan who wants to be the next [Palestinian] President. [COMMENT: Mohammad Dahlan is a former senior PLO member and senior PA Security Official. His differences with Abbas over PLO policy, have forced him into the role of a dissident. Dahlan resides in Dubai where is considered “wanted” by Abbas. END COMMENT]
Conclusion
————–
14. Despite his agility, effectiveness and Abbas’s tremendous support for him, Al-Sheikh lacks public support to become the leader of the Palestinian people. Not only are odds stacked against him, but Abbas will be leaving him with a very heavy inheritance of public dismay, economic hardship, deep routed corruption and widespread unruliness within the different PLO factions. It is unlikely that Al-Sheikh will be able to control the West Bank or bring peace to it. For now, Abbas certainly remains without an eligible successor.

1. Summary: The most trusted intelligence officers of Egypt’s President Sisi have confirmed to him that senior army generals were plotting to topple him allegedly in a coup disguised as a public revolution. At the same time, Egyptian activists in exile have been calling for the mother of all revolutions to topple Sisi. They have set November 11th as the day to inaugurate the revolution. Some of those activists are indeed tied to certain elements of Egyptian military intelligence. It is reported that Sisi became frantic after hearing the warning, and has been on a conquest to “identify the traitors”. The call for a November 11 revolution has gained substantial momentum. It is unlikely though that a revolution could topple Sisi unless it received the backing of the Egyptian army itself.
2. JaFaJ sources have confirmed that Egyptian President Sisi’s trusted intelligence officers have advised him that “Senior army officers are contemplating a military coup disguised as a revolution in November”. The news came to light during a cabinet level security meeting held by Sisi and his son, Mahmud, who serves as his de facto “everything minister”. The meeting was attended by a few of Sisi’s trusted intelligence officers.
3-Those in attendance briefed Sisi on the issue, claiming that top-ranked Egyptian generals and Military Intelligence officers are involved in the recent revolutionary calls against Sisi. According to the sources, they reported to Sisi that rouge generals are “in cahoots with foreign powers who allegedly want to get rid of Sisi and put someone more tolerated by the Egyptian public”. Mahmud then told those in attendance that the specific date of the planned coup was November 11th, 2022. This is the exact date the Egyptian opposition has set for the launch of a mother of all revolutions.
4. JaFaJ sources have learned that President Sisi’s reaction to the reports was dramatic. He passed the bad news to his wife, Entesar, who is usually the last person to whisper in his ear. Entesar has become frantic since then and has been pushing her husband and son to hit the rouge elements within their regime very hard. As a result, Sisi immediately began meeting privately with selected army and military intelligence officers to intimidate them, while both Sisi and his son, Mahmoud, being “convinced they will be able to identify traitors”, and are turning over every stone to find them.
5. An intelligence officer himself, Mahmud has a history of providing faulty intelligence to either impress his father or invoke certain actions from him. Therefore, it is not clear how accurate the intelligence gathered by Mahmoud Sisi and his loyalists has been; it is clear though that the allegations come at a time when there are sweeping calls on social media by Egyptian opposition activists in exile, for change. Activists are calling on the Egyptian public to take action and join them in changing the Sisi regime through a public revolution. They all seem to promote the line that “there is no solution with Sisi, he must go”. The major twist comes from this: they also have a launch date for their action on November 11th.
6. At the moment, there is no mistake in saying Sisi has been alienated by Western and Arab leaders alike, and also at home by the most senior members of the Egyptian military regime which has ruled Egypt since 1952. This divide, and resentment of Sisi and his actions, has spread throughout the ranks of the military regime itself. Even his most senior generals are concerned about his recklessness and heavy handed actions with the public, actions which have included executions, arrests and mass detentions. Additionally, his generals are very concerned that Sisi’s actions might result in the demise of the Egyptian military regime itself [Comment: for more information on this, please see our report and this matter dated January 2022.

The Nermeen Adel Syndrome
—————————————-
7. The calls for a “sweeping revolution” to topple Sisi have been led by an Egyptian dissident residing in Canada named Nermeen Adel. Adel has captivated Egyptian social media for months by revealing secrets of the Egyptian state and Sisi. She is particularly ruthless in her criticism of Sisi’s son Mahmud and openly admits that she has connections within the ranks of the Egyptian military regime. Notably, she has been promoting the rhetoric that the Egyptian army and police would not attack protesters and in fact, would “support them” if they take to the streets against Sisi. She maintains that Egypt’s army is “honorable” and “good people are commanding it”. Adel has recently joined forces with outspoken Egyptian opposition activist and former Egyptian government insider, Mohammad Ali. Ali hit fame in the Arab world when he fled to Europe and began leaking inside information about Sisi’s personal life and lavish lifestyle.
8. JaFaJ intelligence sources within the Egyptian army confirm that Nermeen Adel is an independent oppositionist who bears sincere hatred for Sisi’s regime. At the same time, Adel is in touch with members of Egyptian military intelligence who have been feeding her information. The sources reported that Adel has been assured that she “would be protected” by the Egyptian intelligence officers and that “she was not breaking any Canadian laws by seeking to depose Sisi by peaceful means”. A confidential Egyptian military source told JaFaJ that “She is the big guys’ mouthpiece, she’s decent with no spots on her records or private life, she can’t be blackmailed, she is not ugly looking, she’s well-spoken and gets the message across. I also can feel she genuinely hates what Sisi has done to the people of this country”. He added, “Sisi knows the big guys in here [the military establishment] are behind this girl [Adel], but what can he do – lock all of the generals up? If he did that, he surely would be toppled the next morning – but he would if he could”.
Conclusion
—————
9. It is not clear if the call for a full-blown revolution on November 11 will come to fruition. Even so, the widespread rhetoric over Egyptian social media has gained unprecedented public momentum. Nonetheless, in this case, no actual “revolution” could take place without the complete involvement of the Egyptian military. JaFaJ has confirmed that Egypt’s most senior military leaders are in favor of deposing Sisi. Nonetheless, it is not clear if they can currently pull off such a move. On one hand, on November 11, Egypt may witness some serious local events. But on the other hand, if they do occur, they are not expected to knock Sisi off his throne unless the army chooses to carry out a coup. As a result, Egypt will remain under the tight Sisi regime for as long as the army is not invoking serious action against him. This could shift rapidly thanks to Egypt’s inflation, a ravaged economy that has diminished the value of the Egyptian Pound, and an Egyptian military elite who are growing restless because of the actions of Sisi and his family.

1. Summary: Israel is deploying troops and artillery along its northern borders with Lebanon at a scale unwitnessed over the past 10 years. This is not new, Israel has done this many times before. Nonetheless, it comes when tensions are high between all parties and Iran is negotiating a nuclear deal with the United States. Israel considers the deal to be threat to her existence. Adding fuel to the fire, Iran is likely to benefit from any confrontation between its puppet – Hezbollah – and Israel. They will use the confrontation as a bargaining chip. Full-scale war is not unlikely at this moment.
2. JaFaJ Intelligence Solutions has learned that even with negotiations between Lebanon and Israel over the Northern Gas Fields, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is preparing for the worst – full-scale war with Lebanon, Hezbollah and Iran. A pre-set plan was enacted on Friday 20th August 2022. The Plan includes moving armored tanks, artillery and soldiers to Israel’s Northern Border. The movements have been documented visually by Israeli motorists.
3. JaFaJ’s top Israeli sources noted that “deploying troops and preparing for a war with Lebanon is nothing new”. The sources then went on to explain that the hostilities between Israel and the Lebanese based terror group – Hezbollah – have been the norm since the early 2000’s. The source added that “This is not the first time such a major deployment has taken place”.
4. JaFaJ, through a top Israeli government source, has confirmed that as the Biden Administration and Iran are moving closer and closer to signing a new nuclear deal, and the Israelis have made it clear to everyone: “We [Israelis] will not sit on our hands”. The source added that, “We need to be proactive, and take the initiative, even if this means going after Iran’s proxies in Lebanon, Syria, or anywhere else, we are prepared to fight”
5. Comment: Israel regularly deploys troops on the Lebanese border in an effort to thwart any potential attacks by Hezbollah. Recent history shows that Iran utilizes proxies to launch small wars with the US, Israel or Saudi Arabia. They then use this ‘dust up’ as a bargaining chip. Therefore, Israel must be expecting Iran to use the same strategy this time around in an effort to enhance its negotiating position as the talks near their end. One thing is different in this instance, the ongoing negotiations will probably result in Iran securing nuclear weapons in the near future, and as such, it will likely provoke a strong reaction by Israel in Lebanon or elsewhere.

1. Summary: The wife of Egypt’s president Abdelfattah Sisi has become known to everyone who deals with him as “the woman behind the throne”. Strong and dedicated, Entesar has been serving as Sisi’s confidant and the matriarch of the Sisi family. Intelligent, fearless and strong, Entesar will not stop at anything to achieve her ambition of turning her family into a dynasty to rule Egypt for generations. Nonetheless, Entesar’s tactics and grip over her husband and the Egyptian state have provoked many top tier Egyptian generals and mostly senior intelligence officers.
2. Despite the macho façade exhibited by Egypt’s president Abdelfattah Sisi, it has become known across his inner circle that his boss is his wife, Entesar. JaFaJ intelligence sources have confirmed that Entesar controls most of her husband’s decisions on state affairs, and even has input into foreign matters. Described as “intelligent”, “cunning”, “soft-spoken” and “totally not interested in showing off”, Entesar’s approach to politics is ruthless and rather violent – she believes in eradicating rivals and keeping potential competition to her reign under surveillance. Through her son, Mahmud, she has been keeping anyone she suspects under strict surveillance by Egyptian security agencies.
The Woman Behind the Throne
——————————————
3. A source from the Egyptian military intelligence described Entasar as “the de facto leader of this country”. Having worked directly with her and her husband, he said “She is strong and fearless, unlike Sisi who is weak and could easily be spooked”. For example, the source claimed that Entesar encouraged Sisi to sign the death sentence documents issued by Egyptian courts against young men who were arrested in 2013 protesting Sisi’s takeover. The source added that “They were kids, one of them was just 17 at the time of his arrest, while the rest were all under 20. We advised the President to award them life sentences, but Entesar resisted and would not budge. She pushed him into ratifying the sentences”.
4. A Western intelligence source reported to JaFaJ that “Entesar was the woman behind the throne”. The source added that “She micromanages her husband and eldest son’s actions”. The source continued by adding “She is the last person to whisper in Mahmud’s ears, and Mahmud sees his father as unintelligent and rightfully so.” The source explained, “Sisi is not competent and without his wife, he may have not lasted for so long”. [COMMENT: Mahmud Sisi is the president’s eldest son. His military career was fast tracked by his father who is considered the de facto president of the country by many. He now serves as the Deputy Director of the country’s fearsome General Intelligence Department. For more on this, Click Here to read the JaFaJ Report about Mahmud Sisi’s grip on power in Egypt. END COMMENT]
Fearless, Yet in the Shadows
————————————–
5. Entesar is very charming, witty, disciplined and ambitious. Unlike the wives of several Arab dictators, she chooses to remain in the shadows, making few public appearances and presenting herself as a loyal, Hijab wearing housewife. She has never given a TV interview, despite the temptation. This has proven to be a very wise move, as the wives of Arab rulers have a history of provoking their people with showy interviews and opulent dresses. Recent examples include the wives of Jordan’s king and the deposed president of Tunisia.
6. Entesar’s courage and resilience have become her main strengths. The largest test of her resilience came in 2019 when Egyptian military contractor, Mohammad Ali, fled the nation, went into exile and took social media by storm exposing what he described as the corruption of Sisi’s family and calling Entsar out as the mastermind behind it. While Sisi was heading to the United States to speak at the United Nations and then meet President Trump, anti-Sisi protests filled the streets in response. JaFaJ can confirm that President Sisi was so worried about the protests, that he told his wife that he didn’t want to return to Egypt, and discussed with her the possibility of flying the entire family to refuge in an Arab Gulf country instead. Despite his persistence, Enteasr insisted that he return to Egypt and refused to leave Egypt. A week after, she was proven right – the protests died down quickly upon his return.
7. COMMENT: Despite Entesar’s effort to remain invisible, President Sisi’s inner circle, as well as the nation’s top army officers, have acknowledged that “she is the one in charge”. One of the many terms used to mock Sisi within his inner circle is “Zwej Elsit”. This translates into the phrase: “The lady’s husband”, and this is an Egyptian term used to describe weak men who are controlled by their wives.
A Lady with Big Ambitions and Mystical Obsession(s)
——————————————————————-
8. The 65 year old first lady of Egypt is very ambitious. Not only has she been the driving force behind her husband’s consolidation of power in Egypt, but she has also had monarchist aspirations for the Sisi family. A very well-connected and informed American source who has had close proximity to the Sisi family reported the following to JaFaJ: “The lady wants her family to rule Egypt forever and she has instilled this thought in her children and grandchildren”. The source added, “Her son Mahmud is her tool to achieve the dream of the family controlling Egypt for generations”.
9. Despite her intelligence, intellect and discipline, Entesar’s lust for power has extended into the world of magic. Obsessed with black magic and metaphysics, Entesar has surrounded herself with magicians, and sorcerers. An Egyptian asset reported to JaFaJ that “She has recruited the best black magic sorcerers in Egypt and has brought magicians to the palace from African nations and other countries.” They added that, “one guy who works for her had been relocated here from Italy and claims that he has ties to the Pope, can connect her to dead prophets and saints, and do miracles for her family that will keep them in power for eternity”. He explained, “She has become obsessed and has used the magicians to influence Western and Arab leaders and to protect her family from assassinations. She believes that she sees visions of herself for the future, and has forced her husband to act on some of the visions, in one case forcing him to fire a senior army general because a clairvoyant told her the general was a threat to her husband”.
The Army Establishment Has Had Enough with Entesar
————————————————————————
10. Entesar’s total power over her husband has put her on a constant and direct collision course with the army establishment which has been ruling Egypt since 1952. Army and intelligence officers feel marginalized by Sisi and bullied by his son Mahmud as both constantly ignore the advice given to them. Additionally, Entesar is the “last person to whisper in the ears of both”. Further, the army and intelligence establishment are concerned that the Sisis’ arrogance and ignorance, combined with Entesar’s obsession with power, could bring the regime down under its weight. A Western military official in contact with the Egyptian military establishment reported to JaFaJ that army officials have already complained to him about “the destructive and obstructive roles Mahmud and Entesar are playing, and requested that he pass their complaints on to the proper authorities”.
Conclusion
——————————————-
11. Egypt is a vital and strategic part of the world thanks to it being the gateway to Africa from the Asian continent. As such, the nation’s politics impacts the region economically, politically and socially. With Entesar Sisi being the power behind the modern day Egyptian throne, obsessed with ensuring that her family becomes a modern day Pharaonic dynasty, one has to recall that a similar unhealthy obsession with power contributed to the demise of former President Mubarak, a scenario Entesar seems destined to repeat. The Sisi family’s popularity has evaporated even within their inner circle and Entesar’s ambitions and arrogance do not seem to end any time soon. With the army establishment fed up and scared for its future, Egypt’s political future may be determined from her history of military coups.

1. JaFaJ sources have learned that Iranian intelligence has received information that “Israel is planning to assassinate a key Iranian political and military figure – soon”. While Iran could not determine whom the targeted person is, JaFaJ sources have confirmed that the target “Is a key member of Iran’s ruling elite whose position is tied to military operations”, and that the assassination may be similar to General Qasem Soleimani. [COMMENT: Qasem Soleimani was Iran’s top military commander, and leader of Iran’s special military and intelligence operations arm – The Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Quds Force. The Quds Force is one of five branches of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps specializing in unconventional warfare and military intelligence operations. The Revolutionary Guard Corps, and their 5 branches, are designated as a Terrorist organization by both Israel and the United States. The Quds Force reports directly to Ayatollah Khamenei. Soleimani was assassinated on Jan. 3, 2020 under the direct orders of President Trump and was replaced by Esmail Ghaani. END COMMENT]
2. JaFaJ intelligence has confirmed that even with the possibilities of the Israeli Government being dissolved and new elections being called, Israel has determined both the target and the assassination method. As a result, the pending change in Israeli leadership will not result stop the targeting killings of key Iranian intelligence and scientific figures by Israel.
3. Iran believes that the assassination window is open between the end of July 2022 and January 2023. As a result, Iran has put in place extreme and drastic security measures for key political and military figures.

1. Jordan’s King’s health is failing badly and rapidly. At the same time, Crown Prince Hussein, heir to the throne, is an unpopular figure whose mother, Queen Rania, is afraid that if her son becomes king, he may end up paying the price of his dad’s sins against the Jordanian people. At the same time, Rania has made sure no other Hashemite could either get or want the job. With the Royal Family morally and economically bankrupt in the eyes of Jordanians, Jordan could be in turmoil and facing a power vacuum when the King either dies or abdicates. The turmoil could lead to an eventual civil war as sides take positions.
The King’s Broken Heart
——————————
2. JaFaJ can confirm King Abdullah’s largest health problem is his heart. The King has weak heart muscles that produce not just an irregular heartbeat, but constant fatigue. These symptoms have intensified for him since last February, even though he has undergone two surgeries in the past 8 years to solve heart problems. Recently, he was advised by an American cardiologist that he will need either a heart transplant or a drastic transformation of his diet and must stop all alcohol consumption.
3. JaFaJ intelligence sources confirm Abdullah is suffering from several other health problems, including those impacting his digestive system and Crohn’s disease. Additionally, decades of alcohol and substance abuse are taking its toll. When this is combined with his family’s history of health problems, it is no wonder that Abdullah has been unwell for a decade now.
4. In addition to his health problems, Abdullah, like many of his family members, has a history of mental health challenges. Abdullah’s grandfather, Talal, was forced to abdicate because of complications of acute schizophrenia. Abdullah’s father – Hussein – suffered from depression for most of his life and began receiving psychiatric help in his twenties when he was diagnosed and prescribed strong anti-depressants. He was medicated until his death in 1999.
5. JaFaJ intelligence has confirmed that Abdullah has been suffering from depression for over a decade and has become dependent on anti-depressants and vast amounts of alcohol. One source with direct exposure to the King’s private life reported that “for the past two years, the king has been drinking heavily, sometimes two bottles of Black Label whiskey a day.”
Why Is it Such a Riddle?
——————————
6. In the Hashemite Kingdom, like most Arab states, the “Leaders health” (King’s) health is considered a state secret, and the King’s propaganda portrays him as some sort of superhero-like figure who can do everything and never gets sick. Therefore, when he sees a foreign doctor, the results are confidential and not shared with the public under the threat of legal pursuit by the Royal Court. Currently, only one Jordanian doctor has direct access to the King – Dr. Rami Farraj, his private doctor. [COMMENT: Dr. Farraj who has been chosen as a keeper of secrets about the King’s health more than anything else. This was also true of Farraj’s father, Sameer, who served as King Hussein’s doctor. END COMMENT]
7. With this shroud of secrecy surrounding the King’s health, JaFaJ can confirm that Abdullah II’s health problems have become acute, and have intensified in the last few months. This has caused a sharp decline in his mental health. Simply put, the world will not learn about Abdullah’s ailing health until he dies or abdicates. That means the world will be taken by surprise, except for those who are prepared.
The Symptoms
———————
8. JaFaJ can confirm the King’s symptoms and ailments. The King suffers from Dizziness, lack of balance, loss of breath, irregular heartbeats, an inability to sleep despite using a high dosage of sleeping pills, and the lack of “an appetite that is occasionally coupled with throwing up after meals” causing unexplainable weight gains and losses – often fluxuating widely over the course of a month. Additional ailments include blurry vision and forgetfulness beyond any normal rate. His symptoms have become so bad, that the King was evaluated for dementia. The test results came back “negative”.
Rania, the Shaky Mama Bear
————————————-
9. Queen Rania, the King’s wife, is reported to have told her family that the King may not be with them in the future. Understandably, Rania wants her son – Hussein – to succeed his father as King. This has been hampered because she has not been able to secure solid American endorsement for it. Therefore, she has taken a different approach and been promoting her son prudently on Jordanian state TV and at events. For example, he recently led the commencement ceremony at Mut’ah Military University. Because of its status, the King historically conducts this task.
10. On one hand, even as the Queen keeps her son in the picture, Rania is not willing to push her son to succeed his father. Rania’s main fear is that he son will reap what his father has sowed – the wrath of angery Jordanian people. [COMMENT: The people’s anger stems from the King’s extreme and lavish lifestyle that has left Jordanians impoverished and the country on the verge of bankruptcy. This lifestyle has led to the opposition calling for toppling the regime END COMMENT]. On the other hand, as the calls get louder and louder for Abdullah II to abdicate, the Queen has made it clear to the Hashemite family that she will never allow anyone other than her son to succeed Abdullah.
11. While Rania’s back-room actions are designed to prop up her son, opposition to the regime is growing both inside and outside the country. According to JaFaJ sources, several entities are organizing and vying for position. Although they all claim to have the same ultimate goal, they are taking different roads to the end result: bringing their version of “democracy” to the nation. Nonetheless, the road to “democracy” in Jordan is not paved in gold. The King’s most loyal faction, the Muslim Brotherhood realizes that they could “go down with the King” and therefore are willing to oppose any regime they don’t approve of with a military style Jihad if necessary. As Jordan’s stalemate stands, the King may pass away with no clear successor or evidence of continuity for the Royal Family or nation.
12. JaFaJ sources familiar with the King’s actions stated that “Unless the West steps in with support for the very few Jordanian moderate opposition figures, Jordan could be eligible for a prolonged period of unrest and turmoil”. A Western intelligence source with close ties to Jordanian issues has told JaFaJ that “The West needs to step in now and do something about this before a civil war breaks out, and people start dying.”
Conclusion
————–
13. As Abdullah’s health rapidly fails, his son lacks popularity with a people that has never been this angry with the Hashemite rulers. As a result, in the case of Abdullah II’s death or abdication, the issue of succession is everything but guaranteed, and it’s clear that the region and world will be caught off guard if (when) the King dies or abdicates and a power vacuume opens. Since the West has not become involved and shown support for any form of alternative to Abdullah’s rule, this power vacuume will lead to regional unrest that could ignite a Jordanian civil war.

1.JaFaJ has learned King Salman of Saudi Arabia was rushed into hospital earlier today. It is reported that the King fell suddenly ill and lost consciousness. The sources reported that he was admitted rushed to a private hospital in the Saudi Capital of Riyadh, where he was immediately put into a medically induced coma. With no word from the Saudi Royal Court, the King’s medical condition remains a private matter, and has direct impact on President Biden’s expected to visit the Kingdom in the middle of July. It is not clear to the King’s medical team what his health problem is, but the 86-year-old king has had several minor health incidents this year.
2.JaFaJ has reported on the King’s Health in 2 stories:
