Judgment Approved by the court for handing down. Ismaik v Fadaat Media ANNEX Al-Arabi al-Jadid journal – web page (21 October 2021) -Yasser Abuhilala column (‘Perspectives’) Hasan Ismaik, a model for Arab Zionists Yasser Abuhilala 1. Hasan Ismaik reveals the true face of an Arab Zionist, and no attempts to varnish his image can hide his true persona. After being convicted in Jordan in financial cases involving petty sums of money, he fled to the UAE and returned as a person controlling tens of millions under his own name or in the name of those who control him. He caused the resignation of the Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan, Faris Sharaf, after he was prosecuted in a major money laundering case. Although Ismaik is not known to have been active in politics or the media, he had a prominent role in major events, such as his meeting with Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and his announcement of a major real-estate project, which, however, never saw the light of day. 2. Naturally, he was busy reshaping his image through donations to the poor and to students, and by supporting foundations. He also used the paid search facilities of Google for the purposes of self-promotion and to hide court rulings and prosecutions he had been subject to. All of this is understandable from someone who has acquired great wealth and is attempting to create a new image. However, what is incomprehensible is how the Zionists used him so crassly by putting his name to an article that promotes the extremist right-wing Zionist view that the Arab-Israeli conflict will be resolved by ending the Jordanian state and preventing the creation of a Palestinian state. 3. It is certain that Ismaik is not an author, either in Arabic, or in English. His writing talents only manifested themselves after the ‘Deal of the Century’ and subsequent strategic alliance agreements – known as the Abraham Accords -- with the Occupying State (Israel). He then started promoting rhetoric about the peace process until he finally dropped a bombshell in Foreign Policy magazine, with an audacity previously unseen, except in the well-known Zionist Mudar Zahran. However, Ismaik’s words were not made public in a tweet or in the Clubhouse room, but in a prestigious English- language magazine, where he was introduced to the world in his capacity as a representative of Jordanians of Palestinian descent. This is the work of states that provide millions in funding to PR companies for the publication of an article by a convicted nobody promoting Zionist policies at the expense of his own country. Fortunately, the Zionists were unable to find any notable Palestinian or Jordanian figure to put his name to the article. The Zionist proposal was roundly rejected by the Jordanian and Palestinian public opinion, who expressed themselves in very strong and violent terms through articles, tweets, and publications on social media platforms, which centred on the author and his background. This compelled Ismaik to publish an explanation, which amounted to an apology for his article.
