Ahh, for some weird reason I always thought ppl referred to the Abbas fellow as “Bibi”. Perhaps it was because “Bibi” sounds Muslim where I come from?

To state the obvious here, Hebrew and Arab are closely related languages. Phonetically a lot of things will sound similar to speakers of indoeuropean languages.

Habibi in Arabic means “my love” which is probably where you’re getting mixed up

Naah I don’t think it’s because of the Habibi. I think it’s just that there were quite a few Muslim rulers in my country with the name “Bibi”.
