The magazine published an exceptional article on the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in November 1995 focusing on the degree of opposition in Israel to the peace between Israel and Palestinians.[9] Because the other Arab publications mostly considered the murder as a reflection of the frequent violence in Israel.[9] In February 2004 Osama Al Ghazali Harb supported the capture of Saddam Hussein in an editorial which also criticised those Arabs who opposed the way of his arrest by the US.[3][10]
