'South Park' puts Trump in bed with Satan in Season 27 comeback
Published July 24th, 2025 - 07:38 GMT ALBAWABA - South Park Season 27 took the internet by storm after putting US President Donald Trump in bed with Satan in its premiere episode. This comes right after Comedy Central's animated series reached a reported $1.5 billion deal with Paramount+. The episode titled "Sermon on the 'Mount" depicted an angry Trump threatening to silence political opponents and media through lawsuits while simultaneously taking jabs at his comically minuscule genitalia. During the episode, Trump argued with the Canadian Prime Minister in the White House and asked him, "Why are you placing these new tariffs on Canada? What are you, some kind of dictator from the Middle East?" Trump added, "You don't want me to bomb you like I did Iraq!" To which the Canadian Prime Minister responded, "I thought you just bombed Iran?" The US President replied, "Iran, Iraq, what the hell's the difference? Relax, guy!" South Park kicked off Season 27 by putting Donald Trump in bed with Satan. Trump is going to lose his mind.😆 — Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) July 24, 2025 Later in the episode, the US President entered his room, stripped of his clothes, and cozied up to a comically drawn muscular Satan while asking for sexual intercourse. However, Satan turned him down, prompting a comedic sequence between the two. Trump said, "Come on, Satan. I've been working hard all day." To which Satan replied, "You haven't been working! You've been doing your stupid memes and just fu**ing around." Satan then mocked Trump's comically minuscule genitalia and said, "I can't even see anything, it's so small." According to Variety, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have voiced their concerns for the new deal with Paramount+, after the show experienced a 2-week delay regarding its newest season. "This merger is a shit show and it's fucking up 'South Park.' We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Israeli Knesset passes motion to officially annex West Bank and Jordan Valley
Published July 23rd, 2025 - 03:20 GMT The non-binding resolution, passed by a landslide majority with 71 votes, against 13, signals a formal political shift toward annexation and has sparked strong regional and international concern. ALBAWABA- In a major escalation of Israeli policy, the Knesset on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a motion calling for the application of full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley. Also Read Gaza: 76 children died of starvation The non-binding resolution, passed by a landslide majority with 71 votes, against 13, signals a formal political shift toward annexation and has sparked strong regional and international concern. — RT (@RT_com) July 23, 2025 The motion asserts that the West Bank is no longer to be treated as a territory under temporary military occupation, but as an integral part of the Israeli state. As a result, Palestinians in the West Bank would be considered residents under Israeli law rather than citizens, with their legal status subject to revocation. Legal analysts warn that this move could allow Israel to strip Palestinians of their residency rights if they are deemed non-compliant with Israeli regulations. This opens the door to potential large-scale displacements, particularly to third countries with which Israel has signed agreements. Those who remain are likely to face restrictions on civil and political rights, further entrenching a system of legal and political inequality. Also Read Israel struck Hodeida port in Yemen The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Knesset's decision, describing it as a "dangerous step toward institutionalized apartheid" and "a direct violation of international law and Palestinian sovereignty." Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a key figure in the far-right coalition, welcomed the vote. He also renewed calls for a full military occupation of Gaza and advocated for what he termed a "humanitarian separation plan", a controversial proposal aimed at displacing Gaza's population and dismantling Hamas through overwhelming force or forced population transfer. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
