October Victory Changed World’s View of Arabs, Says Egyptian Fatwa Official

Dr. Ali Fakhr, secretary of fatwa at Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta, said the October victory changed the way the world viewed Arabs.

Fakhr stressed that the victory was not an occasion for Egyptians alone to celebrate, but a triumph for Arabs as a whole.

His remarks placed the victory’s significance beyond Egypt’s borders, describing it as a shared Arab achievement rather than an exclusively national one.

By linking the victory to a shift in international perceptions, Fakhr highlighted its wider symbolic importance alongside its place in Egyptian remembrance.
