A choke in the heart renews every time the mother of the prisoner, Wael Naim al-Jaghoub, looks at the only picture that brings them together inside the prison walls. She sighs and tears flood her eyes.

Umm Wael talks to Al-Quds.com about her separation from her liver, who hails from the town of Beita, south of Nablus and is sentenced to life imprisonment in the Israeli occupation prisons, with great vigor and determination despite the depth of the crack in her soul. very sad.

She tells us the details of her son's arrest in a whining tone, saying: "Wael tasted the bitterness of imprisonment twice, the first when he was 16 years old in 1992, and his detention lasted six years, during which he finished high school."

Three years after his liberation - according to Umm Wael - that is, at the beginning of the second Palestinian intifada, he was arrested again on May 1, 2001, to be sentenced to life in prison by the unjust occupation, from which he spent (22 years), after completing his studies at Al-Quds Open University to obtain a bachelor's degree. Majoring in marketing, while working as a sales coordinator for a local newspaper.

She eagerly continued: "The occupation was not satisfied with depriving me of my son until he prevented me from visiting him for four consecutive years, and at that time I used to send his younger brothers alone to visit him in prison, and after a long struggle I was able to obtain an entry permit, and I was also surprised that one time I went to see him that he was not The occupation army allowed me to pass through Al-Taybeh checkpoint, and they took my permit without prior notice.”

Umm Wael speaks heartily about the days and years that she lives without Wael, saying: "I began to avoid some of the usual work at home because it immediately reminds me of my son Wael, especially preparing some of the food he wanted. Also, when I see him, we do not talk about the details of daily life, so our conversation is limited to the family's conditions." And what changed in his absence, since all of his younger brothers got married and had children, he could not see any of them.”

She added: "The anniversary of his birth on May 23, 1976 is approaching, and it was the custom previously for the prison administration to allow us to take a souvenir photo together, but as a result of the unfair procedures against our imprisoned sons, I will not see him except behind the restrictions that prevent us, which makes me less happy to see him after." To suffer when the time comes for each visit.”

The most beautiful moment was still in her tender heart when she was able to meet her captive son for the first time without restrictions, and she was able to hug him for a few minutes, in order to take a single picture with him several years ago, she said.

Umm Wael continued her speech about what the prisoner Al-Jaghoub was subjected to inside the occupation cells, saying: “After 20 years that Wael lived in prisons, he was returned in 2021 again to solitary confinement, where the infernal conditions that all prisoners suffer from inside him, and at that time his health was affected and he had ulcers in his stomach, after which he was transferred to the hospital, and then his condition stabilized.

And she added: “My son fought the battle of empty stomachs several times, and he spent twenty-seven days in his longest strike in 2017, and I certainly had mixed feelings when I learned that Wael had entered an open-ended hunger strike, and at that time I could not know his news, as all means of communication with him were cut off, just as The visitation program stops, as this matter is not easy for us at all.”

Umm Wael became the voice of her son outside the prisons of the occupation, and she did not leave any activity or sit-in in solidarity with the prisoners without participating in it, to be the supportive support for him and his companions in the families, out of her belief in the importance of the role she plays, considering that this is the least duty she can offer her son to keep the glimmer of hope present. Despite the pain that did not pass.

She urges the families of the prisoners to participate in all activities in support of their children in the occupation prisons, assuring them that every event that is held has a great impact on the hearts of their children and raises their spirits, which makes them feel very happy when they see them through the media available in the prisons.

A strike looms on the horizon Monday for thousands of American film and television writers who are demanding an increase in their wages, as a result of the failure to reach any agreement with the actors in the Hollywood sector and with the approaching expiry of the deadline they granted them.

Prominent Hollywood studios and digital platforms, including Disney and Netflix, are in talks with the Writers Guild of America, which is threatening to start a strike after midnight (7:00 am Tuesday GMT) if no agreement is reached.

Such a move would stop the broadcast of successful programs such as those shown in the evening, and significantly delay the launch of TV series and films due to be released this year.

The last major social movement in Hollywood dates back to 2007-2008, when the screenwriters carried out a strike that paralyzed the audiovisual field in the United States, while it lasted for 100 days and caused the sector to lose two billion dollars because of it.

The scriptwriters are calling for higher wages and a larger share of the profits, while production companies assert that they are forced to cut their costs due to the economic conditions.

"Everyone is in the mood that a strike is going to start," said a Los Angeles-based television writer who did not wish to be named, pointing to the possibility of reaching an agreement "that would determine how companies will pay our wages" now and in the future.

The screenwriters assert that they are facing difficulties in living from their profession, in light of their salaries stagnating or even declining due to inflation, at a time when companies are making profits and raising the salaries of their executives.

They point out that they have never had so many workers for the minimum wage set by the unions, while television networks hire fewer people to write miniseries.

One of the main disputes is how screenwriters are paid for streaming series, which often remain available for years after being written on Netflix.

Screenwriters have been receiving payments for decades for the re-use of their work, such as re-producing a television work or selling DVDs of a work.

This amount is either a percentage of the revenue the studios make on a film or program, or a fixed amount paid each time the work is rerun.

But with streaming platforms, writers now receive fixed amounts annually, even if the work achieves global success, similar to the series "Bridgerton" and "Stranger Things", which have garnered hundreds of millions of views around the world.

The Writers Guild of America is calling for a review of these amounts, which are "too low for the reuse of works globally". She would also like to touch on the future impact of AI technology on the screenwriting profession.

As for the studios represented by the Film and Television Producers Alliance, they indicate that the sums paid to screenwriters for the reuse of works reached a record level of $ 494 million in 2021, compared to $ 333 million that were paid ten years ago. One of the prominent reasons for these high numbers is the large increase in scriptwriting jobs associated with the high demand on streaming platforms.

After these platforms have spent large amounts of money in recent years in an effort to increase the number of their subscribers, their managers confirm that they are currently facing great pressure from investors to reduce spending and achieve profits.

They deny that they invoke economic difficulties to strengthen their position in negotiations with the screenwriters.

A source close to the Film and Television Producers Alliance asked, “Do you think Disney will fire 7,000 employees just for entertainment?” He added, “There is only one platform that is profitable at the current stage, which is Netflix.” "Cinema is a very competitive field," he said.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that a recent deterioration occurred in the health status of the prisoner, Qassem Musallam (54) years old, from the town of Talfit / Nablus, who has been detained since 2000 and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

He is married and father of five children. When he was arrested, his oldest daughter was 9 years old, and his youngest son, Raafat, who was two and a half months old at the time.

The occupation sentenced him to 23 years in prison, and later 7 years were added to his sentence, bringing his sentence to 30 years.

During the years of his captivity, he lost his mother, the occupation prevented him from saying goodbye to her, he married four of his children, and today he is the grandfather of 13 grandchildren.

In the same period, settlers established 3 settlement outposts in these communities.

Malihat stressed that the occupation and the settlers aim, through these attacks and violations against the Bedouin communities, to tighten the screws on the Bedouins to push them to forcibly leave their land and homes, calling for the necessity of working to provide urgent international protection for the Bedouin communities in Palestine.

Malihat stressed that the Bedouins live in separate parts of the West Bank and Jerusalem, especially on the eastern heights of the West Bank, and are considered to be the original inhabitants of these areas, which are protected by international conventions, the rules of international humanitarian law and the Fourth Geneva Convention regarding the protection of the civilian population in the occupied territories.

Today, the first Monday of May, coincides with the International Workers' Day, which is celebrated by various countries of the world, including the State of Palestine, in confirmation of the role of workers in building societies and moving the economy in these countries. Without the labor force, these countries would not have advanced in industries and other economic matters. and financial.

As for the Palestinian worker or the Palestinian working class, despite its suffering from the brutal occupation and the low wages in the Palestinian economic institutions and the private sector, it provides what no one can provide in service to the homeland and the citizen. This is the wheel that builds the economy, which is a basic pillar of the state and society.

The suffering of the Palestinian worker is indescribable, as he is the one who bears the yoke of the occupation and its practices, whether at the checkpoints or on his way to work inside the Palestinian territories, and the Jewish employers diminish his rights, and in many cases, they do not pay him the wages, especially when the entry of the Palestinian worker into the interior is without a permit. .

There is a clear distinction between the wages of the Palestinian worker from the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, and the Jewish worker, in addition to the fact that the Palestinian worker works for the occupying state in hard and exhausting work such as construction and black jobs that Jews do not work in.

The same applies to the worker in the Palestinian institutions, factories and establishments in the governorates of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The minimum wage is very low and is not sufficient for the sustenance of the worker’s children and children, especially if he has children and children in schools and universities, where the expenses are very high in light of the high prices, which have risen recently.

In addition to this and that, there is the occupation blockade imposed on the Strip, which led to unemployment of more than 60%, in addition to the extreme poverty and destitution it created, with which the worker cannot find his daily sustenance, and their families suffer from anemia and widespread diseases, especially in the camps of the Strip. .

In view of this, it is the duty of the Palestinian leadership to work to increase the minimum wage for workers, and to oblige employers to implement this, especially since statistics indicate that many employers do not adhere to the minimum wage approved by the State of Palestine, despite its low level.

The Palestinian worker stands in the first row of the national struggle, offering the martyrs, the wounded, the detainees, and the prisoners. He also struggles for a living for himself and his family, which is also considered part of the struggle. He bears the violations and crimes of the occupation. Despite this, he is patient and steadfast on his land facing the occupation forces and herds of settlers. With bare chests to assure the occupation that he will not leave and will not raise the white flag.

Therefore, it is the right of Palestinian workers to stand by them and prevent their exploitation and raise the minimum wage. It is a national duty in the first place, so that they continue to stand firm and confront the occupation and the herds of settlers.

In conclusion, we can only support our workers and salute them. May your arms be constructive and not demolished. May you and the country be in the best condition every year. Greetings to you.

Civil protests directed by the Druze of Palestine to the leaders and representatives of the colony in its celebrations on the day of its declaration, on its independence day, on the day of its occupation of Palestine.

The Druze of Palestine, Deputy Minister Gila Jamalil, prevented her from entering a cemetery for the Druze soldiers who fell in the wars, considering them to be soldiers whose law imposes compulsory service on Druze youth in the colony's army.

At the height of their protests, in the face of Likud MP Gamliel, one of the Druze men said:

"The Druze arose from birth without hummus, because of the policy of this "state", and they sacrificed the lives of their youth to defend the "state", because they are covered by the compulsory conscription law, just like the Jews as citizens, but the "national law" that was drafted by the Israeli parliament, the Knesset and enacted on 7/19 / 2018, by a majority of 62 votes and 55 opposed it, this law, which affirmed the “Jewishness of the state” excluded the Druze from equal citizenship rights with the Jews.

That is why, as another Druze said: “The Druze prevented the minister and deputy Gamliel from entering the cemetery, as she came to commemorate the soldiers who fell in Israel’s wars on the occasion of “Independence Day.”

The Arab Druze citizen explained this by saying: "Because she participated in the drafting of the National Law (the law of the Jewishness of the state), which excluded the Druze from the right of citizenship."

One of the Druze sheikhs said: "She has no respect for us. We will not allow her to enter the cemetery. They come to us one day a year, when they remember the Druze. We have more than 500 soldiers killed in the wars of the 'state'." He addressed the Israelis by saying: "Be ashamed of yourself, this It can't happen all over the world, but only here in the State of Israel."

A polite Druze addressed her by saying: "Do a favor, we don't want you here. You are the one who signed the Kamnitz Law, which applies to the Druze by demolishing their homes. You also signed the National Law, which deprives the Druze of citizenship rights, and does not consider us citizens in our country. That is why we do not want you today among us. What are you coming to?" Settle with us."

A fourth Arab Druze said: “I lost my son in the war. We gave everything for this “state” because this is our country, but they betrayed us. We fulfilled all the duties imposed on us as citizens, but the government implemented the “national-state” law, and the Kamenitz law that It states that we are forbidden to build on our land. They took our land and confiscated it, while they allowed the Jews to settle in every location, even in the Palestinian West Bank. There in the West Bank they are allowed to cut down olive trees, and no one punishes them. But on our land in the Carmel and Galilee, they prevent us even though our land is registered in The title deed, however, it is forbidden for us to build on and on it.”

A segment of the components of the Palestinian Arab society in the 48 areas, who are subject to the law of compulsory conscription for the army, but they do not obtain their rights of equal citizenship as the Israeli Jews, which prompted them to show public protest against the policies and dealings of the colonial governments, and these are supposed to be citizens of the "state" who perform the duties of citizenship How is the situation and dealing with the citizens of Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip??.

In the classification of fighters, martyrs come first. And if we strive for those who are in the second rank, as if we say the wounded in a martyrdom battle or in a jihadist battle, the prisoners come in the third rank. Here we put the prisoner in his prominent natural place. If the martyr conveys his message and proceeds keeping the content of the message between us, then the prisoner languishes in the Prisoners’ Academy in the occupation prisons as an active, defiant thinker and patriotic politician.

On the Palestinian Prisoner’s Day, which falls on the seventeenth of this month, the Palestinian prisoner is still suffering from the cruelty of the families in the prisons of the occupation, represented by barbaric dealings under inhumane conditions with his continuous deprivation of normal life and freedom, in addition to the sick among them, especially those who are always exposed to medical negligence and policy Slow execution, not to mention administrative detainees, child prisoners and other hunger strikers. The Palestinian prisoner records a model that only free people in the world can understand, as their record includes life sentences, serious diseases that do not receive treatment, and sometimes exposure to the most severe forms of torture, in addition to holding the bodies of martyrs in the refrigerators of the occupation, that is, they punish the “martyr prisoners.”

In the same way, we see the Palestinian people united behind the prisoners, and annually commemorating their day, emphasizing rallying around their cause. Rather, they celebrate activities on this day in front of the headquarters of international organizations, and raise their voice, calling for concerted efforts to activate the file in front of the whole world. Hence, the Palestinian people believe that the issue of the prisoners' file is one of the national political constants, and a basic pillar in the stage of conflict and the balance of power, that will not stop until their liberation. It is worth noting that, since the beginning of the current year 2023, the captive movement has witnessed the harshest stage it has gone through since the start of the Palestinian-Zionist conflict under an Israeli government that is the most extreme since the establishment of “Israel”, despite the fact that the captive movement managed, with its steadfastness and struggle, to extract many rights and overthrow what it wanted. The Israeli Prison Service consolidated it.

According to the latest document on Palestinian prisoners, the number of detainees who were sentenced to life imprisonment reached (554) prisoners, and the highest prisoner sentence among them was the honor of Abdullah Al-Barghouti, which lasted 67 years. The number of martyrs of the captive movement has reached (236) since 1967, while the occupation continues to detain about (4,900) prisoners, including (31) female prisoners and (160) children under the age of 18. This is in addition to more than (1000) administrative detainees, including (6) children and two female prisoners. According to a report by the Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs, on the occasion of the Palestinian Prisoner’s Day: “The number of prisoners who have spent more than 20 years has reached nearly (400) prisoners, and they are what are known as the “deans of prisoners,” in addition to dozens of those who released the “Wafaa al-Ahrar” deal, who were re-arrested in 2014. , and spent more than 20 years in two terms. (And we repeat) that the number of prisoners who were sentenced to life imprisonment (554) prisoners, and the number of martyrs of the captive movement reached (236) martyrs, since 1967, in addition to hundreds of prisoners who were martyred after their liberation from diseases they inherited from prisons.

We reiterate and affirm the prominent natural and real position of the captive movement, its role and its ability to continue its challenge to its jailers and to stand up to the practices of the occupation and challenge its continuity. This is the case. It is their right that we must work to internationalize their cause, especially since they have become one of the major titles of the Palestinian national struggle and struggle.

Understanding any problem requires, in advance, self-conviction of its existence, which will expedite and facilitate finding a solution, away from personalization and the use of conspiracy theory.

The worst and easiest option is to adopt the giraffe approach, otherwise known as burying its head in the sand, as if all is well.

We as a Palestinian society, with all its groups and classes, have been living in a state of loss and deterioration for decades, perhaps one of its reasons – in addition to the closure of the political horizon, is the absence of an explicit confrontation with oneself.

Perhaps the most prominent features of this deterioration are the cracks in the civil peace system and the accelerating decline in the level of values and morals. And since the largest percentage of our society is the youth group (male and female), the vast majority of them are in school (kindergartens, schools, community colleges and universities).

This haste does not aim to delve into all the causes. Rather, we look forward here to delving into the desired educational and educational role, since any outcome, positive or negative, of the educational educational system affects everyone, regardless of economic class or social group, and this effect may last for a while. .

In light of the unreassuring political situation for many years, and the many pandemics and afflictions that accompanied it, (swine flu, bird flu, the Corona pandemic that killed thousands of people, not to mention the negative effects of vaccinations against it and the many psychological, social and economic effects that followed, then The recent teachers' strike came, this long-running strike and the latest controversy in society and official and civil institutions. All of this requires the search for well-thought-out and implementable strategies and plans, provided they are subject to serious evaluation and evaluation, not reactions to confront / mitigate the severity of the repercussions of the pandemics and tribulations mentioned above. Here we strive to present the following as a matter of responsible participation:

* Transforming schools into neighborhood clubs so that adolescents can be occupied and their vacancy filled with informal educational activities, as it is inconceivable that the role of the school building, which cost no less than a million dollars on average, be limited to only from seven thirty to one hour One in the afternoon, they return to work the next morning. These targeted groups take the initiative to plan and implement activities that they choose themselves, since the people of Makkah know better about its paths, and under the auspices of educational and experienced mentors with knowledge of the possible and the difficult, and I do not say the impossible. Initiatives that respond to the hobbies and needs of young people, not Especially in an atmosphere of family disintegration for many reasons (in addition to the deteriorating political situation, which is represented by the perpetual occupation of the homeland, the confiscation of its natural wealth, the suppression of freedoms, the high unemployment rate, especially among graduates, and the Corona pandemic and the resulting increase in the level of domestic violence, then came the students’ discontinuation from going to schools Because of the teachers' strike, which lasted for nearly seventy-five school days (about 500 lessons, noting that the average academic year in the best cases is 210 days without holidays and official holidays, i.e. students lost about a third of the school year), this strike that left an educational loser and an educational loser Large, requires comprehensive strategies and plans that are carefully studied, in the hope that what can be compensated can be compensated. We suggest here that the responsibility for managing and managing the work of these clubs be shared between the relevant ministries: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, provided that a distinct role is given to the Youth and Sports Council and volunteers from parents' councils.

* We are in a state of educational and educational emergency. There is a need to work and activate the role of the family with more cooperation between the three sides of the educational process. So that the family can spend more time with the children together by practicing activities and events inside and outside the home, with the need to avoid intimidation, threats, exclusion, reprimand and reprimand.
* Raising self-esteem among members of the targeted group, with planned work to develop responsible partnership towards society and self, and taking responsibility for decision-making.

* It is not superfluous to say that one of the obstacles to achieving and accomplishing the aspired national goal represented in defeating the occupation and building the strong state with independent national sovereignty and living freely, is not only the occupation, the expansion of building settlements, the confiscation of more lands, the demolition of homes, and the rush of Arab regimes to normalize with the other, but rather Also, the failure to review, evaluate and professionally evaluate the existing educational educational system at all levels and age groups, because our society needs a system that responds to psychological, economic, social and political needs. I conclude here by saying that we are enough of silence, secludedness, and perpetual chanting by saying that “it is all perfect.” The time has come, in light of the decline in the educational and moral level, and the negative and dire repercussions of that on civil peace due to several factors. The time has come for us to be the masters of our thoughts and decisions, and let it be the first step. Starting with the formation of regional people’s councils as a kind of social responsibility towards education, and not limiting this responsibility only to collecting donations and building schools, while making the field open to all Palestinians for responsible participation and constructive criticism without prejudice or confiscating the right to freedom of thought and expression.

* The necessity of activating the role of school libraries and finding a qualified staff to supervise and manage the school library.

On Monday morning, several Israeli vehicles made a limited incursion into citizens' lands, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to eyewitnesses, 4 bulldozers and two machinery penetrated the lands east of the town of Khuza'a, and carried out razing operations, amid intermittent shooting.

This coincided with shooting at farmers and shepherds in more than one border area, without any injuries reported.

It is not the first time that one of the officials, leaders, and cadres has addressed us, and he is striving in his speech for the people to stop putting pressure on him or his authority, under the pretext that the Palestinian national project is in danger, and that what is required is to protect this project.

Not far from us, that huge press conference was held by the Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh in the presence of all his government ministers in addition to the head of the intelligence service, Majed Faraj, and the captains of large sectors of our people, including the captains of doctors, engineers, health professions, and teachers who were within the framework of an agreement with the government that ends their strikes and protests. The speeches of Shtayyeh and Faraj, the danger that threatens the national project and the importance of protecting this project! As if the danger that threatens him comes from the strikes of these unions and the tragedies and torments of the employees and their demands for fairness to live in dignity! Or as if these strikes were an obstacle for them and others from performing their national duty to protect the Palestinian national project and work to achieve it and transform it from theory to practice?

The repetition of the phrase protecting the Palestinian national project raised many questions about the nature of this project. And what does it look like? Is he in crisis? What are its main challenges? This sparked controversy among the prisoners, just as it raises controversy among the rest of the Palestinian society, and clarifying this ambiguity in the subject of the national project became important, and therefore we initiated work on a research project, looking at what the Palestinian national project is and its most important challenges? What we found in the framework of our research was:

The project is the idea before realization, and it is a future vision and strategy that combines thought and practice, approach and performance, and goals and means of achieving them.

And when it is said a national project, it means that this is a project related to the homeland "the place of residence of a person and his headquarters, and to him he belongs whether he was born in it or not."

Therefore, when the homeland is exposed to a threat that affects its existence, it must have a national project that will restore the homeland's consideration as free. Anyone who follows the history of peoples subject to colonization will notice that these projects have always been projects of national liberation in thought and practice, and when the national liberation dimension is absent from them, they turn into a tool in the service of colonialism or in the service of elites that employ the national idea for the benefit of the people. The national project is the project of freedom, independence and national dignity for every nation.

Thus, the national project in its general sense is the project of liberating the stolen homeland, Palestine, and returning to it for self-determination. Hani Al-Hassan says: "People are all peoples. The constants of their national project revolve around three criteria: preserving prestige and national dignity, and adhering to every grain of sand from the soil of the homeland."

The Palestinian national project, whose first seeds began to take shape in the year of the Nakba 1948 AD as an antithesis to the occupation and the Zionist colonial project, has undergone a set of transformations that began with the launch of the Palestinian national liberation movement, Fatah, in 1965 AD, which clearly defined the form of the national project as a national liberation project based on the goal of liberating Palestine and armed struggle. exclusive method to achieve the goal.

The beginning of the transformation in the form of this project was in the year 1974 AD, when the National Council approved the interim political program by approving the establishment of the independent national authority of the people over any part of Palestine that would be liberated, to completely transform the form of the Palestinian national project from the complete liberation project to acceptance of partial liberation, and to move From the idea of the homeland to the idea of the state.
In the year 1991 AD, at the Middle East Peace Conference in Madrid, the form of the national project deteriorated, which was decided in the year 1988 AD by declaring independence in accordance with Resolution 181 in order to accept Resolutions 242 and 338 as a basis for negotiations for a final solution to the Palestinian issue.

On September 13, 1993, the PLO signed with Israel the Oslo Accords, which determined in the long run the ceiling of the Palestinian national project, not exceeding the development of Palestinian self-rule into a non-sovereign state - viable?! - subservient to the domination of the occupying state in all fields .

Shlomo Ben-Ami (worked in Barak's government) says: "The Oslo Accords are based on the rules of the neo-colonial system, and this means that they were founded on a kind of life characterized by the dependence of one of the two parties on the other forever."

In the year 2005 AD, Abu Mazen was elected president of the Authority, and he clearly adopted a peaceful path and denounced any armed resistance that ended the Al-Aqsa Intifada and squandered the ability to benefit from its results, which cast a shadow over the form of the national project, which turned into a peaceful project based solely on the method of negotiations. The crisis of the Palestinian national project was exacerbated by the division of Palestinian political geography following the division in 2007 between Fatah and Hamas (the West Bank and Gaza), which led to its duality and threatened its unity as a project and national liberation with one goal and one national action strategy.

Thus, it ended up that the logic of the authority prevailed over the logic of the revolution, and in the direction that works to further consolidate the division between the two parties of power and government (Fatah and Hamas), so that the Palestinian national project that exists today is shackled with more restrictions, which made the Palestinian issue far from any solution that recognizes the rights of the Palestinian people. Even the interim ones, which require the evacuation of the occupation from the occupied land on the fifth of June 1967 AD, the dismantling of the settlements, the return of the refugees, and the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, is out of reach, and why?

Because the solution offered today is, in essence, a security solution that aims to quell the armed resistance to ensure Israel's security and free its hand to build more settlements in the West Bank and complete the Judaization of Jerusalem, and so that there is nothing left to negotiate if the negotiation is to one day emerge from the tunnel of its security titles.

The main Palestinian factions, Fatah, Hamas, and the Popular Front, have enumerated several reasons for the impasse of the national project, and although they differed in presenting them in form, they unanimously agreed on the essence, which is that the Palestinian national project is in trouble and faces great challenges.

Among the most important challenges of the internal self-dimension, which we consider the most important to overcome the other dimensions, facing the Palestinian national project are:

■ First: The Palestinian National Authority, which was endorsed by the PLO Central Council and established in 1994 AD, quickly became the controlling part and upset the equation by resoundingly marginalizing the PLO and Fatah, which became two tools in its hands, and it erased any possible role for them.
Weakening the PLO and Fatah, and pushing them to the sidelines in favor of the National Authority, made the center of resolving the Palestinian issue dependent on the will of the strongest party in the Oslo Accords that established the National Authority, which is the occupation.

■ Second: Hamas and political Islam, which has reaped what it wants in the political arena, taking advantage of what religion has paved for it, which is linked to faith in the hearts of the people, to win the legislative elections in 2006 AD, and to proceed with its project to firmly control Gaza and split the rest of the country into two parts in a division that affects governance and geography. Politics, economy, society and the Palestinian national project. Just as Fatah did not succeed in protecting itself from the temptation of the Authority, Hamas did as well.

■ Third: The division that has been dominating the Palestinian scene since 2007, causing a deep rift that reached the depth of Palestinian society, its intellectual security, and its national affiliation, which led to the loss of the ability to reach reconciliation or agreement, at a minimum, on one national strategy that reformulates the unified national action program. , which can alleviate the dilemma of the Palestinian national project, and objective and international conditions do not allow the adoption of two or more strategies simultaneously; Because that would eliminate any achievements, even insignificant, achieved or achieved by any of the strategies.

The continuation of this division is linked to the ruling and dispersed political elite, which has become practicing the self-destruction of the Palestinian national project by insisting on giving priority to partisan and personal interests over the general national interest.

■ Fourth: Abandoning the right of resistance. Resistance is every action aimed at realizing Palestinian aspirations for liberation from occupation and independence. This action has varied between popular uprising and armed commando action (popular action and elite action).
The Palestinian resistance has suffered from a decline in the clarity of the form of resistance required of it, from the formula of armed struggle to the formula of struggle by all means to the formula of sound popular resistance, and then soon these means turned into a single method which is negotiations, and the adoption of international legitimacy as a substitute for struggle legitimacy.

Adopting resistance as a strategic option and emphasizing all forms of struggle is one of the main entry points to extricate the national project from its crisis. Reaching a political solution with an aggressive, settler-occupying entity like Israel is virtually impossible.
Here the question arises, how can we get out of the impasse?

Our use of the word impasse instead of crisis came as an expression of what is greater than the crisis, and it indicates a real danger threatening the pillars of the Palestinian national project, and a critical and decisive moment related to the future of the Palestinian cause and the fate of those in charge of it as well.
The crisis is a complex problem, turmoil, and a stressful situation in which the usual methods of solving problems become incapable of understanding the circumstances of the crisis and reaching a solution. Therefore, without creative solutions that are out of the ordinary, the crisis will deepen further and turn into a dead end, in other words, it will reach a dead end, from which there is no way out except by exiting the same path that brought us to the closed end and returning to the premises that led to this dead end, as the corrupt premises lead to bad results.

There are many points of agreement that have always brought together the factions of Palestinian national action, especially Fatah and Hamas, the two poles of the crisis of the Palestinian national movement. Starting further, and in this context, reference can be made to the accord that took place in 2015 in Beirut, and the accord that obtained the Prisoners' Document (the National Accord Document).

Saving the Palestinian national project requires collective will and boldness in proposing and confrontation, and organized thinking in which we re-read the Palestinian reality, based on the supreme national interest and towards building a comprehensive and unified national strategy that clearly defines and unifies goals, constants and references, and prepares plans, tools and means for follow-up and implementation of action programs in the form Who invests in crises and uses unfamiliar (creative) methods that can respond to the aspirations of the Palestinian people, and produce a gap in the wall of the impasse of the national project that opens the door to hope in resolving the Palestinian issue.

The results of the field study that we prepared, which surveyed the opinions of more than a hundred prisoners from Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front, about the nature of the Palestinian national project and its challenges, came as follows:

1- The level of support of the Palestinian prisoners for the Palestinian national project as a complete and resistant liberation project is very high, compared to a very low level of support for the Palestinian national project as a partial and peaceful liberation project.

2- The Palestinian prisoners’ view of the existing Palestinian national project today is very negative, as the prisoners saw it as an unclear and ambiguous project, in which there are more variables than constants, and it is not defined politically and geographically and does not have defined features and goals, and is linked to a certain elite and the Oslo Accords and their secretions, and it does not achieve independence. political and economic, and does not stop subordination to the occupation.

3- The prisoners ranked the challenges facing the Palestinian national project as follows: First: the National Authority, Fatah and the PLO, second: abandoning the right of resistance, third: division, and fourth: Hamas and political Islam.

4- One of the remarkable observations was in the result of the differences in the prisoners’ level of awareness of the seriousness of the challenge of division on the Palestinian national project: that the level of Hamas’s awareness of the seriousness of the challenge of division came (very low) in contrast to the level of (very high) awareness of the seriousness of the challenge of division on the Palestinian national project among the rest Political trends (Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front). This result opens the door wide for many question and exclamation marks that require further study and investigation!!

Manchester City snatched the lead in the English Football League from Arsenal, with a difficult victory over Fulham 2-1 in the 34th stage competitions on Sunday, while Newcastle and Manchester United came close to clinching their seats in the Champions League competition next season by defeating Southampton 3-1 and Aston Villa 1-0, respectively. .

At the Criven Cottage Stadium, Argentine Julian Alvares imposed himself as a star in the match, by causing a penalty kick that was successfully translated by Norwegian Erling Haaland (3), before the World Cup Qatar champion scored the second from a shot from 25 meters (36). The Brazilian orphan Fulham goal was scored by Carlos Vinicius (15).

And the giant Haaland raised his tally to 34 goals in 30 league games this season, making history through his wide door after equalizing with strikers Andy Shearer and Andy Cole.

Shearer scored 34 goals for Blackburn in the 1995 season, similar to Cole in the 1994 season for Newcastle United.

Halland's 50th goal was also in various competitions, since his signing last summer from Borussia Dortmund, 21 goals ahead of any other player in the Premier League this season, and more than seven clubs combined in various competitions.

City, who raised its score to 76 points, removed Arsenal, who receives Chelsea on Tuesday at the end of the competitions of this stage, from the lead, ahead of it by a point, after the "Gunners" club dominated first place for a long time. But a negative series of results led to the North London team drawing three times in a row and suffering a severe loss at City 1-4 last week, which put the Emirati-owned team in a comfortable position to maintain its title and crown for the fifth time in the last six seasons.

City, who has two postponed matches, achieved its eighth successive victory in the league, in a series during which it beat Liverpool and Arsenal with the same result (4-1).

On the other hand, Fulham suffered its second consecutive loss after falling to Aston Villa 0-1 on Tuesday, after two consecutive victories against Leeds 2-1 and Everton 3-1.

Spanish City coach Josep Guardiola missed the efforts of Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Dutch defender Nathan Ake, and pushed the terrifying Algerian Riyad Mahrez, Alvares, German Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish and Halland.

Guardiola commented on Haaland becoming the first player in the Premier League to score 50 goals in all competitions since 1931, joking to reporters, "Before Winston Churchill was prime minister? Fantastic. That seems like a long time ago. Congratulations to Erling. The best goal to help us achieve what we want is still." exists.”

"It was a very close match until the end. We knew after we beat Arsenal that winning these types of matches is very important. The players behaved amazingly."

Regarding Alvarez's goal, he said, "Alvarez's goal was extraordinary. We have great strikers."

Quickly, Haaland opened the scoring 3 minutes after the starting whistle from the penalty spot after a mistake by American defender Tim Reem on Alvares after a pass from Mahrez.

Fulham equalized the score, thanks to attacker Vinicius, after a pass from Portuguese Joao Palenha to Welshman Harry Wilson, who turned it into a header to the Brazilian inside the area, followed by his left foot into the net (15).

Grealish hit a ball that was blocked by German goalkeeper Bernd Leno, which hit the left post (27).

And before the referee blew the final whistle, Alvares restored the lead for City after a pass from Mahrez, after which he got rid of Harrison Reed and fired a missile from 25 meters over goalkeeper Lino, which settled to his right (36), in the eighth goal of the world champion in Qatar this season in the league.

And goalkeeper Limo prevented Alvares from scoring his second personal goal for him and the third for his team by blocking his shot with his right foot from inside the area after a pass from Mahrez (51), before the Argentine and Algerian came out to replace the Portuguese Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden in their place (82).

Newcastle United came from behind at home to Southampton with a goal to win 3-1 today.

Newcastle fell behind with a goal from Scotsman Stuart Armstrong (41), before turning the table in the second half by scoring three goals through substitute Callum Wilson (54 and 81) and Teo Walcott with friendly fire, a mistake in his own goal (79).

Manchester United followed the example of Newcastle and moved closer to the Champions League by defeating its guest Aston Villa 1-0, scored by Portuguese Bruno Fernandez after he followed a shot from Marcus Rashford that was blocked by Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (38).

Newcastle raised its score to 65 points in third place and maintained a two-point difference with the “Red Devils” in the last fourth place that qualifies for the main continental competition.

Liverpool achieved a breathtaking victory over Tottenham 4-3 and took fifth place, by two points (56), and also benefited from the fall of Villa.

And Liverpool, who achieved its fourth successive victory in the league, believed that it was heading for a comfortable victory after it managed to advance with three goals 15 minutes after the first whistle, thanks to Curtis Jones (3), Colombian Luis Dias (5) and Egyptian Mohamed Salah (15 from a penalty kick), to respond. Tottenham, in turn, scored three goals thanks to Harry Kane (39), South Korean Heung-Min Son (77), and Brazilian substitute Richarlison (90 + 3).

And while the fans of the "Anfield" stadium thought that the match would end in a draw, Portuguese substitute Diogo Jota had the decisive word by scoring the winning goal a minute after the equalizer, after a wrong pass from Tottenham striker Lucas Moura, who had entered the field 4 minutes earlier instead of Spanish defender Pedro Porro. (90+4).

It is the third loss for Tottenham in its last four matches (a draw against Manchester United 2-2 in the last stage) after the humiliating fall against Newcastle 1-6 in the 32nd stage, which led to the players of the London club compensating the price of tickets for the club’s fans who accompanied him on his trip.

Bournemouth honored its guest, Leeds United, by defeating it 4-1.

The stage continues on Monday, with Leicester City meeting Everton.

Former Director General of the Palestine Institute for National Security Research

The Journal of Palestinian Studies, in its issue No. 134/Spring 2023, published a paper of approximately five pages by the captive leader Marwan al-Barghouti, who has been in solitary confinement in Nafha Desert Prison for the second year after twenty in a row. It was titled "The Palestinian Opportunity in the Zionist Crisis."

The prominent leader in the Palestinian national movement, a member of the Central Committee of Fatah, dedicated two-thirds of his paper to explaining the impasse of the Zionist colonial project in Palestine, refuting the dimensions of this impasse in its strategic environment (local, regional and international), then devoted the last third of the paper to explaining and clarifying the opportunities inherent in this impasse before The Palestinians and what steps they must take to ensure that these opportunities are fully exploited to achieve their national goals of freedom, independence and the establishment of an independent state.

Whereas Al-Barghouti’s paper establishes a long-awaited responsible Palestinian debate in reality, especially since it is the first to be issued by a leading figure of the size of Marwan Al-Barghouti after the outbreak and exacerbation of the Zionist crisis that has been widening for more than four months. This article will seek to contribute to this debate by emphasizing, beginning with What Israel is witnessing for the seventeenth week in a row in terms of demonstrations opposing the coup against the judiciary, as described by the organizers of these demonstrations, or demonstrations in favor of judicial reform, as happened in Jerusalem last Thursday, corresponding to 4/27/2023, is an expression of the crisis of the Zionist movement resulting from the failure to achieve The goals of its colonial settlement project, as while the first founders of the project agreed to create a prosperous and secure state, establish a nation, and build a unified, democratic Jewish society, we find the descendants of the first founders dispersing rather than gathering, squandering rather than uniting, threatening and not protecting, destroying, and not rebuilding.

While it is like this, there is a Palestinian need and necessity to read this crisis deeply and comprehensively, and most importantly with Palestinian minds and hearts, and reading is not satisfied with describing what is happening and limiting it only to procedures related to the judicial authority, or linking its causes to personal motives of Netanyahu to get rid of corruption charges against him, even if what is happening On this level, it cannot be ignored as landmarks of the crisis, which Marwan established in his paper in terms of developing bold and wise Palestinian interventions that are capable of exploiting the opportunities inherent in this crisis, especially since the entire Palestinian cause is subject to erasure and marginalization, just as the national achievements that enable the people to Achieved over decades of struggle and sacrifices, including the national authority, is liable to be confiscated.

In addition to what Marwan mentioned in his paper about the features of the Zionist crisis that has surfaced since the beginning of this year on the surface of the political and ideological debate among Jews in Israel and abroad, the well-known Israeli historian and academic (Ilan Pappe) had argued in his paper published in the Journal of Palestinian Studies No. 108/ The fall of 2016, and titled “The Origins of Neo-Zionism and Its Future,” that the Israeli Zionist movement is now contested by two main ideological currents. The seventies of the last century, and the second is the current that (Pape) called it, and many researchers in Israel described the neo-Zionist trend, which had emerged strongly in the general elections in 1977 and dominated Israeli politics since then, and (Pape) adds in his paper that since In 2016 neo-Zionism became the strongest ideological interpretation of Zionism in Israel.

The first movement was from the labor movements over the years, and it is the movement that built the state during the period of the British mandate over Palestine, and it is the one that carried out the ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians in 1948, and consolidated the military rule over the Palestinian citizens inside Israel until the year 1966, and transferred it to the West Bank and Gaza Strip after The June 1967 war, but he lost his power in the 1977 elections, then returned to power for a short period between 1992-1996, the period that witnessed the signing of the Oslo Accord between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the government of Israel, this agreement, which in turn failed, and led to the return of current parties Neo-Zionism came to power, which confirms what we went to in previous articles that the conflict with the Palestinians is the root cause of the crisis and that the right-wing attack on the judiciary is the revealing cause of the crisis.

As for the second current, it is descended from the corrective movement led by Ze’ev Jabotinsky, which was prevalent within the settlement project in the twenties of the last century. Judaism) as well as being very lenient with the British and the indigenous Palestinian landowners.

This current is based on the strong alliance between the national religious parties, the ultra-religious parties, and the Likud party, as these parties believe that concession or willingness to give up an inch of land is in the context of infidelity and treason, which explains the return of this current to power and dominance over Israeli politics after signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.

This current was subjected to severe divisions following the decision to withdraw unilaterally from the Gaza Strip in 2005, and the Prime Minister at the time and the prominent leader in the Likud Party, Ariel Sharon, who defected from him and formed a new party to implement the decision to withdraw despite the opposition of the Likud. He took the decision to withdraw as a retired general. From the army and based on the latter’s assessment that the withdrawal from Gaza will enhance Israel’s strategic position in the face of expected threats in the short term, which means that the army’s assessments take precedence over partisan considerations, and it also means that the army institution that he writes for the first movement that he built and laid down its doctrine It is and will remain an obstacle to the second trend of regime change in favor of its vision.

The results of the last general elections that took place in November last year, in which the constituent parties of neo-Zionism won a parliamentary majority, represented an opportunity for this current to reformulate the state system according to its vision, which it believes provides an honest interpretation of Zionism, and that it is able to succeed in what the first current failed in, not Especially since he did not succeed in resolving the state industry over the past seven decades, although he writes to him that he established and led it for three decades.

It should be noted here that there is no significant disagreement between these two currents regarding the goals of the Zionist colonial project in Palestine, which are based on obtaining the largest possible amount of the geographical area of Palestine with the least possible amount of the Palestinian population as obstacles to the realization of the project, as the difference between them revolves around the means that guarantee the realization of this project. While the first movement believes that it must obtain international approval and an American license before embarking on any work it undertakes, the second movement does not give any importance to international opinion at all.

It should be clarified here that the Zionist movement as a colonial movement, and according to the opinion of the researcher specialized in colonial settlement affairs (Patrick Wolfe), does not differ from its counterparts of settler colonial movements with regard to its need to get rid of the indigenous population. These movements differed among themselves in style, and (Wolf) adds that European settlers have used the method of genocide in the case of the Americas and Australia, and apartheid in the case of South Africa, while the Zionist movement uses the method of continuous ethnic cleansing in the Palestinian case, and this article adds to what was written by (Patrick Wolf) that the Zionist movement was not satisfied with the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians Rather, it combined the three methods practiced by the European settlers, and Zionism added to that the method of forced displacement of the indigenous people outside the borders of their homeland.

The aforementioned shows that the roots of the Zionist crisis that is surfacing now are not new and are not fleeting, nor do they appear to be solvable, as the well-known American Jewish geopolitical expert George Friedman once argued in his paper published on the Stratfor website on January 14, 2014. Title (Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and Israel's permanent dilemma).

And while the crisis shows that the Palestinians, whose number on the land of Mandatory Palestine has become more than the number of the Zionist colonizers, are waiting in the short term for more ethnic cleansing, genocide, and racist practices, which requires them to prepare for that and immediately start taking what Barghouti mentioned in his paper, however, it appears The failure of the neo-Zionist current to reform what was corrupted is the inevitable outcome of their project even if it succeeds in imposing its vision, especially since the international as well as regional conditions that produced the colonial project in Palestine are changing to the disadvantage of the Zionist movement and its partners from the western colonial powers, which requires the Palestinians In addition to spending most of their efforts to arrange and unify their ranks, to position them regionally and internationally.

Atletico Madrid achieved a big victory over its host Valladolid 5-2, on Sunday, in the 32nd stage of the Spanish Football League, while Valencia made it difficult for it to stay in the ranks of first-class clubs and avoid relegation for the first time since 1987, by losing to its host Cadiz 1-2. .

Since his return from the World Cup in Qatar, where he lost the final against Argentina's Lionel Messi, Griezmann has been shining in the Spanish stadiums, as after his brace on April 16 against Almeria 2-1, he passed two decisive balls in the victory over Mallorca 3-1 on Wednesday, to return to shine this evening.

It seems that the intellectuals of the region took a positive stance on the Saudi-Iranian agreement that took place under Chinese auspices recently. Some of them considered this necessary in order to create a state of peace between the two countries, hoping that this would reflect positively on thorny files in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and perhaps other countries in the region. Others focused on what that agreement means, in terms of shifts in the global balance of power, marking the birth of a new world order, in which there are many poles, in which the peoples and countries of the region will rest from the system from which they suffered in the past decades, wars, killing and destruction.

An investment in this positive atmosphere that brought about that agreement, and the glimmer of hope that may be built on it. And in light of what is happening from the harbingers that indicate great global changes. And so that the injustice, absurdity and absurdity that humanity witnessed, especially in our region, does not continue. We saw the necessity of making an appeal to the intellectuals of the East. Iranians, Turks, Afghans, Kurds, Amazighs, Arabs, and everyone who sees himself within this circle that is being talked about, to contribute in his role in working to rid his people and the region, from the domination of old and new colonialism, Zionism, and tyranny, and not to be satisfied with the role of observer or analyst of what is happening.

This appeal is addressed to the intellectuals of the region of different intellectual backgrounds and identity affiliations, who are united by their concern for the future of the region and its peoples, and who aspire to freedom, liberation, independence, and free development for their peoples, and equality among them. And those calling for sound and healthy relations between the countries of the region and their citizens, and between their countries among themselves.

The role that intellectuals can and should play will push the political rapprochement, the first steps of which began in some countries in the region, to positions where it is more profound and original, and lead it out of the circle of rapidly changing politics, which is subject to many considerations, to the circle of more culture. lasting, and the strategy most closely related to the real interests of peoples. For rapprochement to become part of the culture of peoples and nations means that we distance it from the "mood" of politics and make it part of the interests and conscience of the masses.

The intellectuals of this region - the East - are invited to an in-depth dialogue on the basis of embracing the great interests that require a consensual, logical and legal solution to the differences between its "natural" states. Starting from the fact that the unity of geostrategy unites interests, or at least brings them closer, transfers problems between the countries of the region, from a state of antagonistic intractability that enemies exploit, to a state of disagreement that should be resolved by consensus, and in the interest of the parties concerned.

The intellectuals of the East are required to search for ways to overcome the "pitfalls" of the past forever, so that it is forbidden to return to it whenever there is a difference between two countries in the region, or between a group of countries. Dealing with the problems of the present should be based on the data of the present itself, and on hopes for the future, and based on truth and common interests. Recalling the past and its problems whenever a dispute occurs between two states is nothing but a "idiotic" response to the nation's enemies. And a recipe for endless internal wars.

Intellectuals must also be convinced, and convince their people, that disagreements should not occur over means if the goal is the same. Ideas, parties, and regimes are nothing but multiple means, and multiple methods, so we must reconcile with the issue of multiple means and options to reach the goal, and stop losing our goals in the midst of fighting over the eligibility of our means.

Intellectuals are the most capable, and they are required to crystallize a project that represents what is common to the peoples of the region, the "East" project, which works to liberate the region, its independence, and its salvation from colonial domination, and is based on a moral human dimension, which preserves the world's material and spiritual balance, and replaces the East from a geography that constitutes a field of conflict. Between the major powers, to a geography of dialogue and the preservation of world peace.
That project defines the higher interests of the peoples of the East, by perpetuating the rapprochement, unity and renaissance of those peoples, or at least, perpetuating awareness of the importance of this, and work is being done to consolidate this in culture and values.

It is also necessary for the project to clarify the organic relationship between the East and Palestine. There is no liberation for Palestine without the East adopting it and fighting for it. There is no East without Palestine, which gives it its meaning, defines its identity, shapes its essence, and charts its future, not only because it is a matter of right on the one hand and injustice on the other hand, and not also because it is a blatant assault and usurpation of the rights of an eastern people, just as it is not due to considerations of the spiritual importance of Palestine, despite their importance, but rather Because Palestine is the most decisive region in the geostrategy of the East, it is an indicator of its liberation or its survival under hegemony. Hence the centrality of the Palestinian cause to his people.

Here lies the importance of the role of intellectuals in highlighting the connection of Palestine with the East and the East with Palestine. From this angle, the position on Palestine and Israel should be understood, and on what is happening in terms of resistance or normalization. It is the position on Palestine that determines the position of the intellectual, or the person in general, or the state, towards the East project in rejecting hegemony, liberation, and freedom of self-determination, or its siding with the other project in which Israel constitutes the region’s rhythm controller, commits all crimes and uses all methods to maintain its control over the region. To maintain its subordination, exploit its wealth, and use it in order to impose its hegemony over it and the world.

This call comes as an investment in an opportunity that we consider "historic", provided by the Saudi-Iranian agreement. It is true that it is still too early to judge the extent of its positive effects on the region, but it undoubtedly opened a gap in the wall of isolation between the peoples and elites of the region, as intellectuals can now For them to talk and discuss in an atmosphere of reassurance, trust, non-treason, and a measure of "harmony" with their countries, the problems of the region, and the conditions for the future they want for their people.

This call for dialogue among the intellectuals of the East seems more realistic now, and it is not an isolated step from the reality and history of the region. Nothing more than words in the air.

Living nations necessarily strive to constantly search for the factors of their strength and unity, and do everything in their power to reject what pushes them towards isolation, fragmentation, weakness, and the appropriate climate for the entry of colonialism. This is what the intellectuals must make their way, and they are also required to create hope, optimism and confidence in the abilities of their people.

The invitation also includes serious cultural institutions in the East, perhaps to sponsor this dialogue and take the initiative, and they will certainly have the honor of participating in the launch of this “East” project, which means its embodiment - that is, the East - in the awareness of peoples who are tired of dependence and humiliation of national dignity. , which seeks to be free and a positive match in the next world order.

Napoli wasted the opportunity to win the Italian Football League title for the first time in 33 years, by drawing 1-1 at home to Salernitana in the thirty-second stage competitions on Sunday, despite the loss of its chaser Lazio at Inter 1-3.

And Napoli, which is flying at the top of the league table, needed to win after losing its direct chaser, to achieve its third title in “Serie A” six stages before the end of the season.

But a wonderful shot by Senegalese Salernitana player Boulay Dia into the net (84), postponed the coronation of Napoli, who was ahead with the goal of Uruguayan Matias Oliveira (62).

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti was not too worried after the equalizer, saying, "They (the players) are very disappointed that they did not give such pleasure to such a wonderful crowd, but we have felt for some time that these points will be the most difficult from an operational point of view."

He added in an interview with the "Dazone" platform that for "streaming" the last kilometer is the most exhausting. We came across a great Salernitana team and showed a little naivety about the goal we conceded."

"We wanted to score an extra goal. But with this arrangement and in this situation, I have to say I feel good. I will pick up the two missing points."

And amidst the brilliance of Salernitana's Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, Napoli were unable to open the scoring even in the 62nd minute in the second half, when Oliveira met a cross from Jacomo Raspadori, and headed it into the net.

And while things seemed to be on the way to winning the early coronation, and amidst the celebrations of the "Partenobi" fans, chanting "Champions, Champions", Salernitana managed to stun his host and equalized in the eighty-fourth minute through Dia, who dodged Nigerian Victor Osimhen, penetrated into the penalty area and fired a wonderful left shot. In the net.

Consequently, the long-awaited "Scudetto" will be postponed for at least a few more days, and Napoli will be on a date with the desired glory.

Spalletti's side now lead with 79 points, 18 ahead of Lazio.

And Juventus would have almost been included in the accounts, had it not been for his later stumbling in front of its host Bologna 1-1, when the landowners advanced from a penalty kick that was successfully executed by Riccardo Orsolini (10), before the “old lady” men equalized with the goal of the Polish Arkadiusz Milik (61). Who missed a penalty kick in the first half (31).

With Juventus remaining third with 60 points, Napoli may be crowned champions even before their next match against Udinese on Thursday, if Lazio loses their match on Wednesday against Sassuolo.

And the victory over Udinese will ensure that the current Napoli stars emulate the Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona, who led the largest club in southern Italy to its only two league titles in 1987 and 1990.

And at the San Siro stadium, Inter overturned its delay with the goal of Brazilian Felipe Anderson (30), to an outright victory in the last quarter of an hour, with three substitutes for Argentine Lautaro Martinez (78 and 90) and German Robin Goossens (83).

Inter continued its uprising after a disappointing series, rising from seventh to fourth place, on par with Rome and Milan (57 points), in a fiery struggle over the cards to qualify for the Champions League, while Lazio, who was supervised by former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri, suffered a second consecutive loss.

After a series of beautiful passes, Inter thought it had opened the scoring when Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan hit a floor that hit goalkeeper Ivan Providel (25), but after the celebrations, the assistant referee canceled the goal late for offside.

And from a fatal defensive mistake by the veteran central defender Francesco Acerbi, who was loaned from Lazio in particular, the guests opened the scoring after five minutes, when the ball reached the Brazilian Anderson, who fired it into the net of Cameroonian Andre Onana (30), scoring his eighth goal this season.

The first half ended with the capital's team advancing, amid intense attempts by "Nerazzurri" to equalize through Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Barella, before the two teams entered the dressing rooms on the impact of Onana's brilliance and Lazio's deprivation of scoring the second against top scorer Ciro Immobile.

After entering the 61st minute, Lautaro Martinez slipped between the defense, receiving a pass from the Belgian Romelu Lukaku, and scored the equalizing goal from a ground ball (78).

Five minutes later, the stands of the stadium ignited, as Inter advanced for the first time, and with another beautiful pass from Lukaku, German substitute Robin Goossens touched her near the goal line acrobaticly, on his way to suffer an injury to his hand after he fell to the ground, forcing him to leave the rectangle a quarter of an hour after entering (83 ).

Lautaro destroyed the hopes of the guests, achieving the double in the last minute of normal time, when the goalkeeper blocked his ball while he was alone, but it bounced back from the world champion into the net (90).

Lautaro became the third Inter player to score more than 15 goals in three consecutive league seasons in the last 55 years, after Christian Vieri (between 2001 and 2003) and compatriot Mauro Icardi (4, between 2015 and 2018).

In other matches on Sunday, Fiorentina swept its host Sampdoria 5-0, Sassuolo beat Empoli 2-1, while Cremonese tied Verona 1-1.

With the goals of Serge Gnabry and Frenchman Kingsley Coman in the second half, Bayern Munich regained the top spot in the German Football League standings four stages before the end, by defeating bottom club Hertha Berlin 2-0 in the thirtieth stage of the “Bundesliga”.

Modest Hertha defended cleverly against Bayern Munich, who was still struggling to regain the momentum they had at the beginning of the season, as the match seemed to be on its way to a goalless draw 25 minutes before the end of the match.

But Gnabry said his word, when he rose with his head to meet a long through ball from Joshua Kimmich, and turned it into the net (69), scoring his first goal in the league since February.

This goal broke the stubbornness of Hertha, to open the door to a second goal ten minutes later and in almost the same manner, after Kimmich also sent another through, this time Koeman had her on the lookout to score the second goal (79).

With this victory, the Bavarian club returned to the top of the "Bundesliga" with 62 points, one point ahead of Dortmund, in its quest to win its eleventh consecutive title.

Thomas Mueller, who came on as a substitute in the 61st minute, told reporters after the match, "We will get this thing (the league shield) again, you can write that! We are back!"

This victory is only the third for Bayern Munich in eight matches under the leadership of coach Thomas Tuchel, who replaced the sacked Julian Nagelsmann in late March.

A period that witnessed the club's exit from the European Champions League and the German Cup, and its loss to the top of the league standings.
For his part, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said in the press conference after the match, "It was not a great victory, but it was a deserved victory. With 34 games in one season, you will get a few of them and that was one today."

"We need everything. Sometimes you need a little bit of fire, and that's what we saw this week. When a new coach comes in in April, it's not as if everything is running smoothly."

Bayern entered the match knowing that only victory would bring it back to the summit against Dortmund, who fell into the trap of a controversial draw against humble Bochum 1-1 on Friday.

On Saturday, the German Football Association and the relevant referee acknowledged a fatal mistake in not awarding a penalty kick to Dortmund against Bochum, which could ultimately cost him the title.

Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi was subjected to a very harsh foul inside the area from behind with his feet from Brazilian defender Danilo Soares in the middle of the second half, when the two teams were tied positively.

Referee Sasha Stegmann signaled play completion and did not use the VAR.

Speaking to Bild newspaper on Saturday, Stegmann said he was "really upset" and "feeling bad", admitting the mistake.

"If I had doubts about my decision, that would be an option. But I didn't get that chance," he said, explaining that the VAR referees did not call him to watch the footage on the pitch.

"Looking at what happened, I have to say I would have been happy (for awarding a penalty) if I had seen it again."

The federation's referees committee agreed with Stegmann's assessment, and said on Saturday that "TV scenes prove" that the obstruction was "a mistake and a penalty kick," adding, "The defender threw himself from behind to the side with both legs and did not pursue the ball."

Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said after the match that the decision was a "fatal moment" in the tie that could deny his team the chance to win their first league title in 11 years.

After the expulsion of Moroccan international defender Ashraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain suffered a humiliating loss at its “Parc de Princes” stadium against Lorient 1-3, Sunday, in the 33rd stage of the French Football League.

Saint-Germain played most of the match with ten players after Hakimi received a first yellow card in the fifth minute after a foul on Romain Favre, before he got the second and was sent off in the 20th minute after a second foul on Cameroonian Darlene Yongwa.

Leader Saint-Germain suffered its first loss after 3 successive victories, its sixth this season, and the third in its own home, but despite that, it maintained the eight-point difference between it and its direct chaser Marseille, who will play later against Auxerre at the end of this evening's competitions (75 versus 67).

The capital club is also 9 points ahead of Lens III, who plays Tuesday with Toulouse.

Lorient advanced through Enzo Le Vie (15), and St. Germain equalized thanks to Kylian Mbappe, who benefited from a fatal mistake by Swiss goalkeeper Yvonne Mfugo, who put the ball on the ground and fixed it despite the referee not blowing his whistle, so the French international striker took advantage of it to pounce on it and turn it into the net. (29).

Mbappe raised his score to the top of the scorers to 23 goals, two goals ahead of Canadian Jonathan David, Lille striker.

Lorient added the second through his Cameroonian defender Yongwa (39), before dealing the final blow to the leaders' hopes to return with a third goal from Senegalese substitute Bamba Dieng (89).

It is the first time since 1989 that Saint-Germain has scored at home for the eighth time in a row.

"Obviously it's disappointment, not anger, but we have to analyze the situation properly," said Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier. "It's an additional defeat that doesn't really come at the right time, but when we start the game like we did, we can't get another result."

For his part, the football advisor in the Portuguese capital club, Luis Campos, demanded a reaction from his team after the defeat against Lorient, based in an interview with Canal Plus, "understanding the criticism."

"I want to tell the fans that we understand they are disappointed," he said. "We are disappointed too. The most important thing is to respond quickly. We've been on top since day one, there are five games to go and we have to keep our work going".
Montpellier inflicted a humiliating loss on its host, Monaco, 4-0, so that the fourth place of the Principality team became threatened by Lille, which was only two points away from it.

Monaco continued to decline recently, becoming 14 points away from leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who will receive Lorient at a later time, knowing that Lille will visit Louis II Stadium after two weeks.

On the other hand, since the return of coach Michel Der Zakarian, Montpellier rose from the relegation-threatened positions to the warm twelfth, as it scored 23 points in 11 matches.

And after a humiliating fall on the ground of Lens last week by Wissam Ben Yedder and his companions, the quadruple yield came this time, bearing the signature of Arno Nordan (28 and 72), Vito Mawasa (65), and the Englishman Stevie Mavididi (79).

Angers, bottom of the standings, was relegated to the second division, losing to host Rennes 2-4.

Rennes raised its score to 53 points in sixth place, while Angers, which suffered its 25th loss this season, froze at 14 points.

The stage competitions will end on Wednesday with Brest's meeting with Nantes.

The Algerian Federation of the Capital stripped the Moroccan clubs of the Confederation of African Football Cup title, after they ousted their only representative, the Royal Army, despite losing 2-3 on Sunday at the “Moulay Abdallah” stadium in Rabat in the second leg of the quarter-finals, benefiting from their victory in the first leg with two clean goals.

Nahdet Berkane and Al-Rajaa Clubs won the title in the past three editions, with two for the first (2020 and 2022) and one for the second (2021), and USM set a semi-final date with Asec Mimosas of Ivory Coast.

The Moroccan team went down with its weight at the start of the match, looking for a remedy for the result, and attacked the Algerian goalkeeper Osama Benbout, after Ahmed Hamoudan hit a ball crosswise, and defender Osama Sheeta accidentally turned it into his team's net (8).

The joy of the people of the Moroccan capital lasted only four minutes, as Al-Saadi Al-Radwani equalized for the guests after turning a cross from Botswana Tumisang Uybonyi into the net of goalkeeper Ayoub Lakrd, taking advantage of a defensive error in coverage (12).
The Algerian team closed its area, and play was confined to the middle of the field.

The military team intensified its pressure in the second half of the match, and USM coach Abdelhak Benchikha made a defensive substitution with the participation of Mustapha Bouchina, and the pressure of the Moroccans resulted in the goal of progress when Abdelfattah Hadraf sent a long ball, followed by Denny Burgess from Cape Verde to February, in a distinctive way, past goalkeeper Osama. Benbot (60).

The player of the Algerian team, Oriboni, made a distinguished individual effort on the left side, and sent a distinguished ball to substitute Khaled Bosilio, who hit it over the goalkeeper Lekrd (78).

The army players completely besieged the Union of the Capital area, and the pressure resulted in the Egyptian referee, Mohamed Maarouf, awarding a penalty kick after a mistake on Hamza Eikman. Mohamed Harimat rushed to it and scored it, giving his team the lead (90 + 7).

The ancient Ivorian ASEC Mimosas stopped the adventure of the Monastir Sports Federation at the quarter-final stage, after beating it 2-0 in Abidjan. The two teams tied the first leg with a negative result in Tunisia.

The match seemed balanced, with a logical advantage for the homeowners seeking to open the scoring early, in return for the Tunisian team's reliance on lightning counterattacks through Mali's Boubacar Traore and Haikal Al-Sheikhawi. Before the halfway point, the pressure of the hosts resulted in a goal scored by Frank Carlos Zuzu from a long shot (45 + 1).

The Tunisian team made a double effort in the second half, seeking to equalize and thus qualify, and the replacement of Serbian coach Darko Novic contributed to the improvement of the performance, but the final touch was absent, as Mohamed Al-Saghraoui, Boubkar Traore and the Algerian Abdelkader Boutish missed many chances, and at the end of time Bakumi Zozo added the goal. The second was for the yellow and black team, by following Kwasi Atohola's cross into the net of goalkeeper Sadiq Yadis (90 +1).

And the Egyptian Pyramids career stopped in the competition, which finished runner-up to its champion in 2020, by losing to its host, Marumo Gallants, South Africa, 0-1, at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rastenburg.

The two teams tied with one goal for the first leg in Cairo.

The Egyptian team was the best party in terms of control and opportunities, but the danger was for the host team, who snatched the only goal of the match through Salimbilo Najima, after he penetrated the left front and hit a powerful ball that hit the net of goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shennawy (39).

Al-Shennawy shone after a long shot, which was hit by Lucky Mohomi (41).

The Egyptian team seemed a little resourceful in the second half, as it did not initiate pressure on the Galants goal, despite the changes made by Portuguese coach Jaime Pacheco, and the most prominent opportunity came for Pyramids through its South African striker Fagri Lakai, who was completely alone, but goalkeeper Washington Arubi brilliantly saved his goal ( 74). Another opportunity arose for the equaliser, through Tunisian Fakhreddine Ben Youssef, with a missile shot, but the goalkeeper successfully blocked it (88).

Gallants will meet in the semi-finals with Young Africans of Tanzania, who reached the semi-finals for the first time in their history, despite their 0-0 draw against Nigerian Rivers United in Dar es Salaam. The Tanzanian team benefited from winning the first leg with two clean goals away from home.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the "presumed leader" of the Islamic State group had been "neutralized" in Syria during an operation carried out by Turkish intelligence.

"The supposed leader of ISIS, whose nom de guerre is Abu al-Hussein al-Qurashi, was neutralized during an operation carried out yesterday (Saturday) by the National Intelligence Service in Syria," Erdogan said during a televised interview.

On November 30, the Islamic State announced the killing of its former leader, Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, and the appointment of Abu al-Hussein al-Qurashi as his successor.

An AFP correspondent in northern Syria reported that members of Turkish intelligence and the Turkish-backed local military police sealed off an area in Jenderes, in the Afrin region, in northwestern Syria, on Saturday.

Residents also told AFP that an operation targeted an abandoned farm in the area that was used as an Islamic school.

Turkey has been deploying forces in northern Syria since 2020, controlling entire regions with the support of Syrian factions.

In mid-April, US forces launched a helicopter raid as part of an operation in northern Syria targeting an official they accused of planning attacks in Europe and the Middle East.

Later, the US Central Command announced that the operation resulted in the killing of a prominent ISIS leader, Abd al-Hadi Mahmoud al-Haj Ali.

An attack on April 16th by suspected Islamic State fighters in Syria killed at least 41 people, 24 of them civilians.

In the first week of April, US forces announced that they had killed a leader of the Islamic State, accusing him of being responsible for planning attacks in Europe, and identified him as Khaled Eid Ahmed al-Jubouri.

And the Islamic State, when it was at the height of its power and controlled large swaths of Iraq and Syria, claimed responsibility for a series of attacks carried out in Europe.

Although its fighters were expelled from most of the territory it controlled, the organization continues to launch attacks in Syria.
