The Pakistani army announced that three soldiers and seven insurgents were killed Thursday night in three separate clashes in northwest Pakistan.

And these battles took place for a short period in the area of Lucky Marwat state of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the border with Afghanistan.

The first incident occurred when a man blew himself up near a security post, which led to an exchange of fire between soldiers and other attackers.

Two more clashes took place later in other parts of the state, according to the army.

"Weapons and ammunition were seized from the seven terrorists who were killed," he said in a statement, confirming the death of three soldiers.
Pakistan has been facing for months, especially since the return of the Taliban to power in Kabul in August 2021, a security deterioration, especially in the border areas with Afghanistan.

Most of the attacks are carried out by the Pakistani Taliban, a group distinct from the Afghan Taliban but with the same Islamic ideology.

Pakistan accuses the Afghan Taliban of allowing the Pakistani Taliban to plan its attacks from Afghan territory, which the Taliban constantly denies.

Israeli data showed, on Friday evening, that 3 Israeli soldiers committed suicide since the beginning of April.

According to the Hebrew channel Reshet Kan, two of them committed suicide since the beginning of the last week.

She noted that the Israeli army commander, Herzi Halevi, instructed to work to reduce this phenomenon.

Since the beginning of this year, the Israeli siege on the city of Jericho has been repeated several times, which affected it and the surrounding villages and towns, and caused it great economic losses, estimated at tens of millions of shekels, and affected the tourism sector in particular.

Fourth siege in four months!
Since the beginning of this year, the Israeli occupation forces imposed a siege on Jericho four times, and the number of days so far has reached 21 days, under the pretext of searching for the perpetrators of shooting attacks against Israeli targets.

The governor of Jericho and the Jordan Valley, Jihad Abu al-Assal, confirmed in an interview with Al-Quds.com that the siege on Jericho is not what the occupation claims is security, but rather it is a purely economic blockade that has harmed all aspects of life in the Jericho governorate and the Jordan Valley.

Since the beginning of this year until now, Jericho has offered 8 martyrs, all of them from Aqabat Jaber camp, south of Jericho. The occupation is still holding 7 bodies, in addition to dozens of detainees and dozens of wounded, according to Abu al-Assal.

According to Abu al-Assal, it was expected that about a million people would enter Ariha during the blessed Eid al-Fitr period, but the siege and the ongoing occupation measures so far have caused great losses to Ariha, as only 200,000 people entered it, especially since people are avoiding entering when they know that they cannot. Easy to get out of Jericho.

One hundred million shekels, according to Abu al-Assal, was expected to be for the Jericho economy, but the amount of return did not exceed 20 million shekels, which constituted an economic blow to the Jericho governorate, as the occupation is well aware that by closing it, the entire Palestinian people will be punished.

hit the tourism sector
The Israeli blockade on Jericho greatly affected local and incoming tourism, as domestic tourism declined by 80% compared to last year, and 50% affected foreign tourism compared to the previous year, especially during the holidays, confirms Iyad Hamdan, Director General of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Jericho and the Jordan Valley. An interview with "Al-Quds" dot com.

Hamdan points out that foreign tourists are heading to areas close to the Dead Sea and excluding Jericho, while local tourists are reluctant to visit Jericho to the areas of the West Bank, which has almost paralyzed Jericho.

According to Hamdan, Ariha is accustomed to tourists during the holidays and weekends, and more than 2.5 million tourists visited Ariha annually, but since the beginning of this year until now, the number has only reached about 400 thousand tourists, and the previous year the number of tourists reached In the first quarter, there were about 750,000, which means that tourism to Jericho decreased by 50%.

Losses of tens of millions of shekels
Jericho has incurred losses estimated at tens of millions of shekels since the beginning of this year until now, as a result of the occupation’s siege on it, and the damage it caused to the tourism and agricultural sectors, which are the two pillars of the economy in Jericho Governorate, explains Tayseer al-Hamidi, head of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, in an interview with Jerusalem dot com.

Al-Hamidi says: "Jericho is a tourist governorate that is one of the pillars of tourism in Palestine and the only outlet for our people. It is an agricultural country that is considered the basket of Palestinian food, and the Israeli blockade has an impact on these two sectors, causing damage to the rest of the sectors in Jericho."

According to Al-Hamidi, the central market for vegetables and fruits has been damaged and is no longer visited by merchants from all governorates as before, due to the Israeli blockade and closure, which led to a reduction in the prices of vegetables and fruits, and perhaps their damage.

And Al-Hamidi continues, and that Jericho is considered a prominent wintering and tourist place, and because of the siege, tourists were unable to enter it, which caused damage to the tourism sector, and because Jericho is the gateway to Palestine to the world, travelers were affected and were unable to enter Jericho due to the closure, and this is an economic tributary of Jericho that was damaged like that.

Efforts to break the blockade
The institutions and activities of the Jericho governorate are trying their best to break the Israeli blockade on the governorate. The governor of Jericho and the Jordan Valley, Jihad Abu al-Assal, confirms that the government is making great efforts, and it is necessary to open up to international bodies and human rights institutions to inform them of the collective punishment imposed by Israel.

Abu Al-Assal says: "Israel besieged Jericho for security reasons, but that is not true, especially since the occupation can storm without deterrence and when it wants and arrest whoever it wants!" while indicating that it will organize protests in front of international institutions in order to break the siege on Jericho.

The head of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Jericho and the Jordan Valley, Tayseer Al-Hamidi, confirms that the activities and institutions of Jericho fell into a meeting in which they discussed how to break the Israeli siege on Jericho. economic sanctions on the province.

Al-Hamidi called on the Palestinian people to visit Jericho and break the siege on it, and not to achieve the occupation's goals by hitting Jericho economically.

For his part, the Director General of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, Iyad Hamdan, confirms that the ministry made an appeal to break the Israeli siege on Jericho by the need to visit it, and this applies to all Palestinian cities, in order to compensate for what Jericho lost in terms of losses to tourists or damage to the tourism sector. .

The population of Jericho and the Jordan Valley is 60,000, including 25,000 who live in the city of Jericho alone. Jericho includes important historical places, and it is one of the oldest cities in history. Seven thousand years BC.

The Sudanese in Khartoum are facing a severe crisis in the cash liquidity necessary for their livelihood, with the closure of banks and the failure of many automatic teller machines, in light of the continuation of battles between the army and the Rapid Support Forces for two weeks.

"In the coming weeks, people will face a real crisis," Khaled al-Tigani, editor-in-chief of the Sudanese newspaper Elaph, told AFP by phone from Khartoum, referring to the lack of local criticism.

"People did not anticipate what happened. They were surprised by the developments and escalation," he added.

The battles have been taking place in the capital and many Sudanese cities since April 15, between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Muhammad Hamdan Daglo, in a relentless war on power, after they were allies since the 2021 coup, during which they overthrew civilians from power.

The fighting has so far killed at least 574 people and wounded thousands, according to data issued by the Sudanese Ministry of Health and the Doctors Syndicate. But the number of casualties may be more than that as a result of the ongoing fighting.

"Banks have been closed since April 15, which means that even those who have savings will not be able to access them," said Kholoud Khair, founder of the "Confluence Advisory" research center in Khartoum.

"In addition, workers in the informal sector who get their daily wages have not been able to get any money" since the fighting broke out, she added.

The war prompted the more than five million residents of Khartoum, whether citizens or foreigners, to either flee to other states or abroad, or to remain behind the walls of homes amid the whistling of bullets, the sound of explosions and air strikes, in light of the lack of food and the interruption of water, electricity and telephone services. And the Internet on the other hand.

The desire of the Sudanese to procure the necessary local cash prompted some of the beneficiaries to take advantage of these difficult circumstances by selling the local currency in exchange for the dollar at a high price.

"The value of the dollar now depends on how greedy the beneficiary is," Al-Tijani said.

"Before the events, the price of the dollar on the black market was 610 pounds, and two days ago I exchanged the dollar for 580 pounds," he added, explaining that those fleeing Khartoum exchanged the US currency at a lower rate than that.

Fleeing from Khartoum under these circumstances has become "extremely difficult because this requires a lot of liquidity in Sudanese currency."

Ashraf lived the experience when he decided to leave Khartoum with his family for Egypt, more than a thousand kilometers north of the Sudanese capital, and he was forced to submit to the conditions of the bus driver.

"I only had dollars with me, and he wanted Sudanese pounds because he used them to buy fuel," he told AFP. "In the end he agreed to take dollars, but he stipulated that the exchange rate be 400 pounds per dollar, while the official rate for one dollar is 600 pounds."

Sudan suffered throughout the rule of former President Omar al-Bashir, successive economic crises resulting from mismanagement on the one hand, and the country witnessed tribal conflicts and armed rebellion on the other hand, in addition to the international sanctions imposed on it.

Independent researcher Hamid Khalafallah explained that "fleeing from Khartoum or the country requires a lot of money in cash, which people do not have at the present time" in a country where about 65% of the population lives below the poverty line, according to a United Nations report issued in 2020.

Khalafallah indicated that when the war broke out, "the salaries for the month (April) had not yet been paid. We were only on the fifteenth day."

While citizens suffer from a lack of liquidity, prices have risen, especially public bus fares, which have increased, according to Khair, "by 500% due to need and the war economy," noting that this is also due to "the lack of fuel and the difficulty in providing it."

"I don't think the value of the dollar is really depreciating on the black market, but the demand for (local) cash is very high," said a foreign resident in Khartoum who preferred not to be named.

In recent years, the Sudanese have preferred to rely on electronic applications to trade their money instead of dealing in cash, according to Al-Tijani, but due to the constant internet disruption, the applications face technical problems and do not work regularly.

The "Western Union" company for financial transactions also confirmed, in a statement received by AFP, that "due to the recent developments in Sudan, Western Union's international money transfer services in Khartoum and other affected areas have been suspended until further notice."

Al-Tijani said, "People are now resorting to solidarity among themselves to meet the needs, and they are only betting on the end of the crisis."

For her part, Kheir said, the Sudanese were "left stranded and unable to move without money in their pockets."

The first batch of Palestinian students from Sudan arrived this Friday evening at the Rafah land crossing.

The Crossings and Borders Authority said: "172 students arrived in the homeland through the Rafah land crossing, as the first batch of students coming from Sudan."

She added, "The second batch of students will arrive next Sunday."

It is noteworthy that the Crossings and Borders Authority announced an exceptional opening of the Rafah land crossing today, Friday, to receive students coming from brotherly Sudan, and facilitated their entry into the Gaza Strip.

Turkish citizens living abroad began casting their ballots on Thursday in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for May 14, at Turkey's airports and border gates.

Incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking a new five-year term against his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), as the presidential candidate of the opposition parties' alliance.

Recent polls suggest it will be a tight race between the two main candidates, both campaigning to improve the quality of life for many Turks affected by the recent economic downturn.

If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round, a second round will be held on May 28.

Today, Friday, the Consulate of the State of Palestine to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Jeddah announced the arrival of the second batch (37), which carries Palestinian students and citizens coming from Sudan to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

She added that the first batch arrived yesterday, the number (31), who were received by a delegation from the competent government agencies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs branch in Makkah Al-Mukarramah region, the head of the Protocol Department, the commander of the western region of the Saudi forces, and the consular staff in Jeddah and Ali. They were headed by Ambassador Mahmoud Al-Asadi, who checked on them and congratulated them on their safe arrival.

Ambassador Al-Asadi confirmed that, based on the directives of President Mahmoud Abbas, and the committee in charge of following up the evacuation procedures formed by the Palestinian security and sovereign services, the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Riyadh and the Consulate of the State of Palestine in Jeddah made intensive contacts with the crisis cell of the competent government agencies in Saudi Arabia in order to receive citizens from Khartoum to Jeddah. He stressed the cooperation of the Saudi authorities by providing transportation and housing insurance for them.

Al-Asadi conveyed the greetings of President Mahmoud Abbas, and thanks and appreciation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, king, government and people, for this noble honor and the unsurprising efforts of our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its keenness to secure the exit of the Palestinians from Sudan, and overcoming all obstacles until their safe return to their families and relatives in the homeland.

The ambassador confirmed the continuation of the work of the Crisis Management Cell at the Consulate of Palestine in Jeddah, in cooperation with the Palestinian competent authorities and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and our embassies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, to complete the reception of other groups coming from Port Sudan to the naval base in Jeddah, and to work on Their evacuation to the homeland, and to other destinations through the lands of Jordan and Egypt.

Mai Al Kaila, Minister of Health, said, "Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death in the world and at the level of Palestine."

According to a report by the Ministry of Health in 2021, diabetes causes approximately 10.6% of the causes of death in Palestine.

According to the latest survey in 2022, the incidence of diabetes for the age group 40-69 years in Palestine amounted to 20.8% of the total number of individuals, 22.3% in the West Bank and 18.3% in the Gaza Strip.

While the prevalence rate among females was higher than among men, as the survey showed that the incidence of diabetes among females in the age group 40-69 years in Palestine was about 24.3% and for males it was 17.3%.

Al-Kaila confirmed that diabetes constitutes a heavy burden on the shoulders of the state and society, and requires care and attention that begins from the moment of infection and continues for life.

She indicated that the Ministry of Health is making every effort to develop the level of services to international standards, in partnership with national and international institutions, with whom it works hand in hand in order to provide medical care that is appropriate for the Palestinian people.

Al-Kaila said: "The Ministry provides, through 495 fixed and mobile clinics, in addition to five specialized centers for diabetics, preventive and curative services for diabetes and its complications, in addition to screening for various non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, for all citizens over 40 years of age." Early detection of retinopathy and diabetic foot and its treatment to prevent amputation of the foot.

The head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, accepted an invitation to visit Tehran and meet with the Iranian leadership to discuss more details and current developments.

This came when he received a phone call from Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Abdullahian, during which they discussed political and field developments.

Haniyeh reviewed the crimes committed by the occupation in the West Bank and Jerusalem and the siege of Gaza, and the role of the resistance in repelling the occupation and its ability to impose its field equations, in what serves the interest of its people and its cause.

He also praised the activities that took place on Al-Quds Day, welcoming the stances that declared support for our people and their resistance, confirming that Al-Quds is an element of consensus for the nation and the compass for the free people in the world.

In turn, the Iranian Foreign Minister praised the steadfastness of the Palestinian people, expressing his pride in the Palestinian resistance, which hurts and disturbs the occupation.

The Iranian foreign minister stressed the centrality of the Jerusalem issue and the Islamic Republic's follow-up to the Israeli aggressions and practices taking place there.

The Embassy of the State of Palestine to the Arab Republic of Egypt announced the arrival of buses carrying students and citizens of our people, coming from Sudan, to the Arab Republic of Egypt through the Arqin border crossing.

194 citizens go to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah land crossing, accompanied by the embassy representative, and 29 citizens go to Cairo International Airport to move to their next destinations.

Our students and citizens were received by a delegation from the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Egypt, to overcome all obstacles, and accompany them until their arrival at the Rafah land crossing.

The Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Egypt, Diab Al-Louh, confirmed that, based on the directives of President Mahmoud Abbas, and the instructions of the Palestinian government represented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, and the committee in charge of following up the evacuation procedures formed by the Palestinian security and sovereign services, the embassy made intensive contacts with the concerned Egyptian agencies, in order to transfer citizens. From Khartoum to the Gaza Strip via the Arab Republic of Egypt.

Ambassador Al-Louh affirmed the cooperation of the Egyptian agencies by providing Egyptian security insurance, accompanied by buses, in which the embassy's representatives accompanied them from the Sudanese-Egyptian crossing, all the way to the Rafah land crossing.

The embassy appreciated the role of the Egyptian government and its concerned agencies, for their keenness to secure the exit of the Palestinian returnees, and to overcome all obstacles, until their safe return to their families and relatives.

Ambassador Al-Louh affirmed the continuation of the work of the Crisis Management Cell at the Palestinian Embassy in Cairo, under the supervision of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Riyad Al-Maliki, and in full coordination and cooperation with the Palestinian Embassy in Sudan.

Authorities in the state of Colima, western Mexico, announced Thursday that they had found at least 26 bodies, buried in mass graves in the town of Tucman.

"Ten mass graves have been identified so far, and human skeletal remains of 26 people have been found," said Hector Javier Peña, official of the state's Office of the Special Prosecutor for Disappeared Persons.

It was possible to reach these remains using marches and dogs in the Cerro de Ortega area in the state of Tucman, in which several bodies had previously been found, buried secretly since 2018.

Research is still ongoing, as the authorities do not rule out the presence of remains of other people.

Ports in the state of Colima on the Pacific coast are a key point on the drug-trafficking route, as smugglers use them to pass on such substances as fentanyl, which can cause a sedation 50 times stronger than heroin.

Mexico has witnessed more than 340,000 killings and the disappearance of about 100,000 people, mostly attributed to criminal groups, since the launch of an operation to combat drug traffickers at the end of 2006.

Balto is the most famous dog in the United States, and for this animal that saved a remote town in the snow of Alaska by delivering medicines to it, a statue in Central Park in New York, and an animated film about his heroism, while a recent scientific study analyzed his DNA 90 years after his death, explaining the secret of the ability The great stamina he enjoyed.

The story of Balto dates back to 1925, when he was hired as part of a mission in Alaska called the "Serum Race", which aimed to save the inhabitants of a small town located in a very remote area, by delivering an anti-diphtheria drug to them.

Indeed, in the midst of snowstorms and freezing temperatures, Balto took a group of sled dogs that traveled the tens of kilometers that were left to reach the town.

Today, a stuffed animal that died in 1933 is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

"Balto's fame and being a taxidermist provided this important opportunity after a hundred years to study the genetic characteristics of this category of sled dogs, and to compare them with modern dogs," said Catherine Moon, the lead author of this study, published Thursday in the journal "Science." .

Scientists took skin samples from Balto's belly and reconstructed his entire genetic material (genome).

They compared this genetic material with the genomes of more than 680 modern dogs from 135 breeds.

Contrary to the myth that Balto was partly a wolf as suggested in the 1995 Universal Pictures animated film, the analysis did not show any wolf ancestors.

Baltos have common ancestors with the present-day Siberian Husky, and the sled dogs of Alaska and Greenland.

The scientists also compared Palto's genetic material with a common genome of 240 mammalian species prepared as part of an international collaboration called Project Zonomia.

This technique enables the identification of DNA fragments that are common to all species and that have therefore not changed over millions of years of evolution. This stability means that they are areas with important functions, and that any change in them could be dangerous.

It turns out that Palto had fewer risk differences than modern dog breeds, likely indicating better health.

"The variants in Balto's were in genes related to weight, coordination, joint formation and skin thickness, which makes sense for a dog designed to live in such an environment," Catherine explained.

Finally, the study sought to reconstruct his physical form based on his genome, in line with the available historical pictures of him and his preserved remains.

Balto has a shoulder height of 55 centimeters, and has black fur with a little white.

"This project gives everyone an idea of what is beginning to be possible through comparisons with genomes of increasing quality," emphasized Catherine Moon. "These are things we've never done before," she said. "I feel like an explorer, and once again Palto is blazing the trail."

Germany, Europe's largest economy, narrowly avoided a recession at the start of the year, with a contraction in activity in the first quarter disappointing compared to expectations.

The country did not register growth according to seasonally adjusted data, but rather recorded a decrease of 0.1 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, after a decrease of -0.5 percent from October to December, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Disstates" Friday.

So Germany narrowly avoided a technical recession defined by two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP.
However, the results are lower than the expectations of analysts polled by Facttest who expected a rebound of 0.2 percent.

Carsten Brzeski, an economist at ING, said that the stagnation of the German economy "shows that the number one economy in the eurozone has not escaped the danger of a slowdown."

Thus, France's results are better than Germany's in the first quarter, as growth reached 0.2 percent during the same period, despite the serious slowdown that began at the end of last year and the repeated strikes against pension reform, according to a preliminary estimate by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies in France. Friday.

German industry was hit hard last year after it relied on Russian gas for a long time, and Moscow's invasion of Ukraine cut off supplies to Germany and raised prices.

However, according to Disstatis, "the positive momentum came from investments and exports" in the first quarter of the year, indicating a recovery in manufacturing activity.

This improvement was the result of a combination of factors: the recent sharp decline in energy prices, which benefits energy-intensive companies, the reopening of the Chinese economy after the closure of many cities due to COVID-19, as well as the gradual elimination of disruptions to supply chains.

The return of industrial activity contributed to compensating for the decrease in private and public consumption spending in early 2023.

The picture would have been worse without broad government support measures to mitigate the impact of rising energy costs for businesses and the loss of purchasing power for households.

Unlike France, where difficulties are likely to worsen in the coming quarters, Germany sees its economy on track to reach "acceleration during the year", according to the Economics Ministry's chief economist, Elga Bartsch.

Overall, hopes for an economic recovery later this year rest on continued improvement in the business climate.
In addition, Andreas Schwerle, an economist at Bank Deca, said that "the decline in inflation and large wage increases will stimulate consumption again."
On Wednesday, the German government raised its forecast for economic growth for 2023 to 0.4 percent, from 0.2 percent in the fall.
But not all parties are optimistic. Earlier in April, the International Monetary Fund predicted that German economic activity would contract by 0.1 percent this year.

Economists warn of the negative effects associated with the European Central Bank's apparent tightening of the cost of credit in the eurozone, in an attempt to curb inflation.

The European Central Bank has raised interest rates by 3.5 percentage points since July and is expected to raise interest rates again at its meeting next Thursday.

In particular, higher interest rates could slow the US economy, a number one customer for German exporters.

A number of citizens were injured by live bullets, rubber-coated bullets, and suffocation, during clashes that erupted with the occupation forces in the West Bank governorates, today, Friday.

In Bethlehem, the 16-year-old Mustafa Amer Sabah was killed by the occupation forces during clashes in the town of Tuqu', south of Bethlehem.

With the martyrdom of the boy Sabah from Tequ'a, the number of martyrs since the beginning of the year rises to 104, including 100 in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, and two martyrs in the Gaza Strip.

In Qalqilya, the Israeli occupation forces targeted the Palestine TV crew, while it was covering the aggression of the occupation soldiers and settlers on the lands of the village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, which led to the injury of fellow cameraman Muhammad Inaya with rubber-coated metal bullets.

Three civilians were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets, and dozens suffocated, during the Israeli occupation army's suppression of the weekly Kafr Qaddum anti-settlement march, and the demand to open the village street, which has been closed for nearly 20 years.

The coordinator of the popular resistance in Kafr Qaddum, Murad Shteiwi, stated that the occupation soldiers assaulted the participants in the march and fired metal bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas at them, which led to the injury of 4 citizens with metal bullets, including Palestine TV cameraman Muhammad Inaya, and dozens of suffocation cases. field treatment.

In Ramallah, five civilians were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets, and dozens suffocated by toxic tear gas, during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah.

And local sources reported that settlers attacked the lands of the citizens from the eastern entrance to the village, and broke a number of perennial olive trees, under the protection of the occupation soldiers, who fired bullets and gas bombs at the people, which led to the injury of five citizens with metal bullets, who were treated on the field, in addition to the injury of dozens of suffocation. .

In Nablus, civilians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and suffocated, as a result of the Israeli occupation forces' suppression of the weekly anti-settlement march in Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.

Medical sources reported that two civilians were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets, one in the chest and the other in the foot, while dozens suffered from tear gas suffocation, and treatment was provided to them in the field.

In the town of Bita, four civilians suffocated by tear gas during the confrontations on Jabal Sabih.

On Friday, an Israeli settler's vehicle came under fire near the Avitar outpost near Nablus.

According to the Hebrew Walla website, the shooting did not cause any injuries or damage.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, infected with an enteric virus, suspended his campaign activities on Friday for the third day in a row, 16 days before the seemingly heated presidential and legislative elections.

According to the program announced by the Turkish presidency, the 69-year-old president will only speak via videoconference in the evening from the presidential palace in Ankara on the occasion of the inauguration of a bridge in Adana (south).

Erdogan, who has been in power for 20 years, canceled all his commitments since Tuesday evening, including the much-awaited event, the inauguration of Turkey's first nuclear power plant.

On Thursday, the Turkish president was forced to speak via video link on the occasion of the opening of the Akkuyu station in the south of the country, and he showed signs of fatigue, in his first appearance on television in a live broadcast in about 48 hours.

Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced Thursday afternoon that Erdogan had gastroenteritis. "He is in good condition. The effects of the gastroenteritis have subsided. He will resume his program as soon as possible," he said.

However, this malaise does not come at the right time for the country's president, especially since 3.4 million Turks registered their names to participate in the voting process outside the country, and Thursday began casting their votes.

And Erdogan, who has been in power since 2003 first as prime minister and then as president, faces an opposition that has formed a united front that puts it in a good position, according to the results of several opinion polls.

As for his main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who was nominated by a coalition of six opposition parties, he received tacit support from the Peoples' Democratic Party, the third political force in the country, which is considered the kingmaker in the upcoming presidential ballot.
Kilicdaroglu holds two election rallies Friday in the northwest of the country.

The Israeli government is preparing, during the next few weeks, to begin procedures to legalize no less than 70 new settlements and outposts, most of which are located near settlement blocs and known settlements existing in the West Bank.

According to the Hebrew newspaper, Israel Hayom, these will join the 9 settlements that were legalized in the West Bank by the Israeli government last February.

These settlements, which will be legalized, will be provided with the full infrastructure of water, electricity, etc., and security protection will be ensured for them, like the rest of the existing settlements.

She pointed out that some outposts and settlements will not be legalized at the present time because their situation is complicated by their presence on private lands, but it is expected that a decision will be taken regarding them in the future.

And it indicated that within 4 to 6 weeks a list of the names of those outposts and settlements will be published to officially become part of the official infrastructure of the existing settlements.

Large financial budgets will be allocated by the current government for these outposts and settlements.

Large forces of the occupation army and undercover units stormed the city and camp of Jenin today, Friday, and violent confrontations took place in the alleys and streets of the camp, during which a child was injured by shrapnel from the occupation's bullets, after which he was transferred to Ibn Sina Hospital in the city.

And local sources reported that the occupation forces deployed snipers on the roofs of buildings and houses in the city and camp of Jenin, and that large explosions were heard in the camp, indicating that the occupation forces prevented ambulances from entering the camp.

The sources confirmed power outages in several neighborhoods in the camp.

The occupation forces arrested a young man from the camp.

At least 12 people were killed Friday in Russia's nighttime strikes on Ukraine, while President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was "an evil act against our country and against our people that brings the terrorist state closer to failure and punishment."

"Russian terrorism must be adequately answered by Ukraine and the world," the Ukrainian president said Friday morning on Telegram. "Every attack and every evil act against our country and against our people brings the terrorist state closer to failure and punishment," he said.

On Friday morning, at least 10 people were killed in the central city of Uman, when a rocket hit a residential building, according to the latest toll from the interior minister.

"Rescuers pulled three more bodies from under the rubble," Minister Igor Klimenko wrote on Facebook, bringing the total to "10 victims at 10:05 am (0705 GMT)".

At least nine people were taken to hospital, the district governor, Igor Taborets, wrote on Facebook.

A second strike on the city of Dnipro, in central eastern Ukraine, killed two people, "a young woman and a three-year-old child," according to the mayor, Boris Filatov.

And the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated in a statement that “Ukrainian air defenses shot down 21 of the 23 missiles and two drones,” saying that Russia, the “terrorist state,” fired the ammunition from the Tu-95 strategic bombers.

And the Kiev municipality stated that the air defenses in the capital were able to shoot down 11 Russian cruise missiles on the night of Thursday to Friday, in addition to two drones, without causing casualties or noticeable damage.

In the city of Uman, with a population of about 80,000 in the center of the country, located 200 km south of Kiev, journalists from Agence France-Presse saw a heavily damaged apartment building with rubble on the ground, while rescuers were pulling two bodies from under the rubble.

Taborets indicated that two cruise missiles landed in Uman, one of which hit a residential building and the other a warehouse.

In Kiev, a power line was cut after falling debris also damaged the road, according to authorities.

For his part, Air Defense Forces Commander Sergey Popko said, "There were no reports of civilian casualties or damage to residential buildings or infrastructure" in the capital.

In the city of Ukrainka, near Kiev, shrapnel from a missile landed on a building, injuring a young girl who was taken to hospital, according to the region's governor, Ruslan Kravchenko.

Russia regularly bombed Ukrainian cities and energy facilities during the winter, but such heavy strikes have been rare in recent months.

This is the first massive missile attack on the Ukrainian capital since early March.

The Russian strikes, which were carried out during the winter, targeted energy facilities in particular, causing regular outages of electricity and running water. Dozens of missiles were used in these attacks.

But this Russian tactic did not capitulate Kiev.

Ukraine's air defense system has been beefed up in recent months after the country delivered Western equipment vital to the war effort. Among that military equipment, Kiev received the advanced US Patriot missile system in April.

Last week, the Ukrainian capital was the target of an attack by 12 Iranian-made drones, eight of which were shot down without causing casualties.

The bulk of the battles are currently taking place in the east of the country to control the industrial Donbass region, especially the city of Bakhmut, which has become almost destroyed.

Ukraine says it has been preparing for months for a counter-attack aimed at expelling Russian forces from the territories it currently occupies in the east and south of the country.

On the other hand, the Council of Europe considered, in a resolution adopted by its Parliamentary Assembly, that Russia's forcible transfer of Ukrainian children amounted to "genocide."

The council called for the safe return of the children to Ukraine, stressing that "documented evidence of these practices meet the international definition of the crime of genocide."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the decision, saying it was "important" and would help "hold Russia and its leaders accountable".
In his evening address, he said that the deportation of Ukrainian children was one of the elements of "Russia's attempt to erase the identity of our people and eradicate the soul of the Ukrainian people."

The political advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ambassador Ahmed Al-Deek, said that the second batch of Palestinian students and citizens who left Port Sudan, which includes the largest number of military students, under the supervision of the Palestinian military attaché, arrived this morning in Jeddah by Saudi ships.

Al-Deek indicated in a press statement that they were received by the Consul General of the State of Palestine in Jeddah, Ambassador Mahmoud Al-Asadi, as they will join the first group, to complete their arrival with a total of 68 citizens and students.

Ambassador Al-Deek added that another group of our citizens, consisting of 64 citizens, all of whom are Palestinian families, also left Port Sudan this morning on Saudi ships on their way to Jeddah.

The media spokesman for the police, Colonel Louay Arziqat, said that after searches, investigations and vigorous follow-up by the General Investigation Branch of the Nablus Governorate Police and the Aqraba Center, the suspects were identified and a follow-up process is underway to arrest them. A search warrant was obtained from the Public Prosecution. A force went to his house and searched it. They seized a weapon used in the crime and an amount of stolen money.

Arzikat confirmed that the suspect was arrested and the weapon and the amount of money were investigated until the necessary legal procedures were completed, and the follow-up process continues for the rest of the people involved in the crime.

Newcastle moved away in third place by defeating Everton 4-1, taking advantage of the service that Tottenham provided him by compensating for his two-goal deficit in front of his guest Manchester United, to a 2-2 draw on Thursday in the thirty-third stage of the English Football League.

At “Goodison Park”, Newcastle, coming from a landslide victory over Tottenham 6-1, achieved its seventh victory in the last eight stages, raising its score to 62 points in third place, two points behind United, who played a match less than coach Eddie Howe’s team.

Newcastle owes the victory, which strengthened his dream of participating in the group stage of the Champions League competition for the first time since the 2002-2003 season, to Callum Wilson, who scored two goals, the first in the 28th minute after the ball fell in front of him following a shot by his Brazilian colleague Joliton, which was blocked by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and the second in the 75th minute. With a shot from outside the area (75), raising his personal tally to 13 goals in the league this season.

Joliton scored a header after a pass from Joe Willock (72), and substitute Jacob Murphy after a pass from the other Swedish substitute, Alexander Isaac, after a solo effort (81), the other two goals, while Everton's only goal was through Dwight McNeil from a difficult angle after a corner kick seconds ago. From the fourth goal for the guests (80).

What increases Newcastle's chances of returning to the Champions League is that it is eight points ahead of Tottenham and the brilliant Aston Villa and nine ahead of seventh Liverpool, 5 stages before the end of the season, with two difficult matches remaining for it against leaders Arsenal in the thirty-fifth stage and Chelsea in the closing stage.

In London, with the spirit of qualifying for the cup final, where it will face its arch-rival Manchester City, Manchester United seemed on its way to continue its supremacy over its host Tottenham and achieve its fifth successive victory over it after it advanced 2-0 in the first half, but the latter came back from afar and saved a point.

And by forfeiting its fourth successive victory before facing Aston Villa on Sunday at Old Trafford, United failed to deepen the wounds of Tottenham, who played the match under the leadership of a new temporary coach, his former player Ryan Mason, who took over the task of supervising the team after the humiliating loss to Newcastle United 1-6 Sunday.

The 31-year-old became the third coach of Tottenham this season, after the Italian Antonio Conte, who separated in late March from the London club by mutual agreement, leaving the task of leading the team to his assistant, his compatriot Christian Stellini, until the end of the season.

But the humiliating loss against Newcastle on Sunday, in a meeting during which the London team fell behind 0-5 after only 21 minutes, prompted the club management to abandon the services of Stellini and replace him with Mason, who had previously taken over the job temporarily at the end of the 2020-2021 season after the dismissal of Portuguese Jose Mourinho.

Mason would have wished he had started his new job with an easier task, but by chance he would face United on Thursday and then Liverpool on Sunday in the latter's stronghold.

And returning in this way against United after finishing the first half, trailing 0-2, might give Tottenham the necessary morale boost to try to get the last fourth place to qualify for the Champions League, but the task will not be easy at all.

United struck early through Jadon Sancho, who received the ball from Marcus Rashford on the left side of the penalty area, and hit it with a beautiful arc in the left corner of Fraser Forster's goal (7).

After a series of opportunities for the two sides, United succeeded in strengthening its lead before the end of the first half, following a counterattack launched after a block by Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, to reach the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes, who played it long and well for Rashford, so he advanced with it and fired it into the net (44), raising his score to 16 goals in the league this season.

Spurs entered strongly into the second half and besieged its guest's goal until he managed to reduce the difference with a wonderful goal by Spaniard Pedro Boro, who reached the ball after the United defense failed to clear it, so he fired it beautiful "on the fly" with his right hand to the left corner of De Gea's goal (56).

Fernandez was very close to returning the difference to two goals, but luck stubbornly stubborn the Portuguese after his shot rebounded after a distinguished effort from the crossbar (57).

Tottenham returned to pressure, but wasted many opportunities, most notably the Korean Heung-min Son (66) and Eric Dier (69), who were in an ideal position to score, before Al-Faraj came through Son after a cross from Harry Kane (79).

Bournemouth deepened the wounds of its last host, Southampton, who appears to be on its way to the second level, “Championship”, by beating it with a single goal scored by Marc Tavernier in the 50th minute before he was injured, raising his team’s balance to 36 points, 7 points from the danger zone.

Fiorentina joined Inter, the defending champion, to the final of the Italian Cup in football, by tying goalless with its guest Cremonese, Thursday, in the second leg of the semi-final.

On Wednesday, Inter qualified for the final by defeating Juventus with a clean goal, after the two teams tied 1-1 in the first leg, then Fiorentina joined it on Thursday as a result of its 2-0 victory in the first leg away from home.

This is the first time that “Viola” has qualified for the Cup final since 2014, when it lost to Napoli, forfeiting the opportunity to win the first title since 2001 and the seventh in its history, in which it played the final 10 matches previously.

Fiorentina is also competing at the continental level by reaching the semi-finals of the “Conference League” competition, where it will face Swiss Basel on May 12 and 18.

On the other hand, the adventure of Cremonese, who was a Yemeni, ended by playing the final for the first time in his history, after eliminating Napoli, the league leaders, from the final price, by penalty kicks, after a 2-2 draw at Diego Armando Maradona, then Rome from the quarter-finals by beating him 2-1 in Capital.

The final will be held on May 24 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Juventus holds the record for the number of coronation times (14), against Roma (9), Inter (8), Lazio (7) and both Fiorentina and Napoli (6).

The almost daily Israeli violations against Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi Mosque, clearly indicate that the goals of the Netanyahu government are to transform the conflict into a religious one instead of the national one that the Palestinians demand to achieve their goals in the end of the occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state The independent city with its capital, Al-Quds Al-Sharif, on the borders of June 4, 1967. Otherwise, what is the meaning of the daily incursions by settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque, their performance of Talmudic prayers inside it, and the preparations by organizations of the so-called Temple Mount to establish their alleged temple in place of the Dome of the Rock?

What is the meaning of their storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday and raising the Israeli flags in its courtyards, in a clear challenge to all Muslims in the world, and not only to our Palestinian people and our Arab nation? Raising the flags of the occupation in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa means that sovereignty over it rests with the occupying side, and that this is a prelude to the establishment of the alleged temple in its place, at the moment they see fit to implement that.

Also, raising the flags of the occupation means not only harming the sanctity of Al-Aqsa, which is the first of the two qiblahs, the second of the two mosques, the third of the Two Holy Mosques, and the place of resting place for the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, but rather a renunciation of the agreement with brotherly Jordan regarding the Hashemite guardianship of the holy places in Jerusalem, which was mentioned in the peace agreement between The occupying power and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

What also means the storming of the Ibrahimi Mosque by a group of settlers headed by the so-called Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir, and his performance of Talmudic dances in clear defiance not only of the people of the city of Hebron, but of all Arabs and Muslims, and this, if it indicates anything, indicates that the authorities The occupation, represented by Netanyahu's extremist government, is preparing for a religious war that may not remain or be left behind, especially since Arabs and Muslims will not remain silent in the face of these violations that have prolonged and prolonged. As well as deporting many of them and preventing them from entering the Old City of Jerusalem.

And if we take into account the continuation of settlement expansion, the confiscation of more lands, the Judaization and annexation processes, and the consideration of the occupation government and leaders that the West Bank is an occupied Jewish land, according to their claim, and their rejection of peace and the annihilation of the two-state solution according to the international vision, then everyone - that is, Arabs and Muslims - must prepare for a confrontation This war, which the occupying state seeks to turn into a religious war, in an attempt to end the Arab-Palestinian-Jewish conflict in its favour.

This is what many of Netanyahu's extremist government ministers declared, that what we are doing is resolving the conflict in favor of the occupying state, and that there is no place for the Palestinians in this land and country.

Will the international community remain silent about this, or will the national, religious and national duty call on Arabs and Muslims to take action to prevent this, because the consequences of this will be dire if action is not taken now and urgently?

Silently, calmly, balanced and conscious policy, and real awareness of the importance of the influence of the Arab region on the balance of international alliances and its ability to change the western orientations of the region. Influencing it, especially China and Iran, and this can only be achieved by ending all crises in the Arab region, internal tensions, and cases of clashes that drain all the capabilities of the Arab nation and turn it into a mere consumer market for the weapons of the West and Israel. Its colonial interests in the region as a strategic region full of wealth, not only this, but dominance over the independent Arab political decision and make the governments of the countries of the region completely dependent on Western and American protection. Through it, all the peoples of the region, and at the same time, provide nothing but a real service to the Zionist occupation state in Palestine, transform it into a superpower in the region, and contribute to its involvement in the Arab world, while remaining a brutal occupying entity.

Because Saudi Arabia entered a new era built on the basis of having a philosophy and great political capabilities that enable it to lead the region towards a new face that strengthens Arab-Arab relations, neighborhood relations and common interests. Its central position easily contributed to leading the region towards playing a major regional role in preserving the neutrality of the Arab region and distancing it from it Aside from international conflicts and thus not to engage in any alliances that may drain more Arab wealth and return them to the dark years. Today, Saudi Arabia seeks to create a coherent and strong Arab state that can stand up to the potential challenges of the development of the great international changes created by the war between Russia and Ukraine. Saudi Arabia has been working for some time to reformulate the relations of the countries of the region with each other as a basis for drawing a map of Arab interests. Not only that, but the two parties have established a new era of strategic cooperation, which of course will establish a stage that no one in the world expected the region to reach one day.

Recently, the fourteenth consultative meeting of the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Egypt, Jordan and Iraq concluded in Jeddah, which affirmed the centrality and priority of the Palestinian cause and the condemnation of all occupation practices in the occupied territory that would undermine the two-state solution and the chances of achieving a just and comprehensive peace in accordance with the resolutions of international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative as well. The conferees condemned the Israeli attacks on worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque and the violation of the sanctity of religious sanctities. The statement stressed the need to respect the historical and legal situation in Al-Aqsa Mosque. Everyone stressed the need to solve the Syrian crisis politically and the importance of having an Arab leadership role in the efforts to end the crisis, setting up the necessary mechanisms for this role and intensifying Consultation among Arab countries to ensure the success of these efforts. On this basis, the Saudi, Egyptian, and Jordanian efforts intensified to put a political end to the Syrian crisis. The first step was to re-open the bridges between Riyadh and the Syrian Republic, and to play a vital role in restoring the bridges between Syria and most of the Arab countries, which had been closed as a result of the events in Syria, which led to Damascus being outside. The circle of joint Arab action is therefore outside the framework of the League of Arab States. The Syrian Foreign Minister (Faisal Al-Miqdad) recently visited Jeddah at the invitation of the Saudi Foreign Minister (Faisal bin Farhan) and they held an in-depth discussion session that dealt with the efforts exerted to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis and restore relations between the two countries. ) as a guest of Assad in Damascus to complete the talks on Syria's return to the Arab embrace and to prepare the atmosphere for the arrival of humanitarian aid to areas that are still witnessing armed clashes between the Syrian army and other forces, in addition to Syria's return to the League of Arab States. Saudi Arabia intends to invite President Bashar al-Assad to attend the Arab summit in Riyadh on May 19. Riyadh is currently seeking to prepare for this summit in a way that guarantees a coherent Arab position in the face of the great challenges that threaten many Arab countries, especially the Palestinian cause, which the Israeli occupation is trying to liquidate and replace any peace process. True, with a false peace with some Gulf countries and the normalization of relations that are still forbidden as long as the occupation of the Palestinian land has not ended and the occupying state has not recognized the right of self-determination for the Palestinian people.

The process of arranging the Arab region is progressing in a coordinated, balanced and vigorous manner for a new stage dominated by mutual understanding and cooperation among all countries of the region despite the outbreak of a new crisis, namely the struggle for power in Sudan, which seems to have exploded to impede the completion of arranging the papers of the Arab region, resolving its crises, and Saudi Arabia’s leadership of the Arab scene. It seems that some do not like the success of Saudi Arabia in changing the face of the Arab region politically, economically and security in a way that preserves Arab interests and works for the growth of its countries economically and politically and wants to create a new crisis in the Arab world that confuses the Arab region and wants to preoccupy the Arab summit in Saudi Arabia with the crisis in Sudan and the war between the army And the Rapid Support Forces, but I do not think that this will significantly affect and stop Saudi Arabia’s path towards drawing a map of Arab interests in the first orbit and a map of joint cooperation in the second orbit between Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Iran, and a map of an Arab-Chinese-Russian alliance in the third orbit, and these three orbits constitute a new pole aware of The common interests of all countries are built on the basis of political and security stability, economic growth, scientific progress, and unprecedented medical and technological development.

Villarreal returned to the path of victories, which deviated from it with two defeats in a row, by defeating its guest, Espanyol, 4-2, Thursday, in the thirty-first stage of the Spanish Football League.

The "Yellow Submarine" team took full advantage of Real Betis' 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad on Tuesday, to return strongly to the struggle for the final fourth place that qualifies for the Champions League.

Villarreal advanced to fifth place at the expense of Real Betis, by a point, while it was five points away from Sociedad, seven stages before the end of the season.

The fifteenth victory was not easy at all for Villarreal, as it faced a fierce opponent struggling to avoid relegation to the second division, and ended the first half, lagging behind with a goal in the final seconds through Javier Boadu (45).

The owner of the land returned strongly at the beginning of the second half, scoring two goals by Frenchman Etienne Capo (53) and Danny Parejo (63), but Espanyol equalized through Joselo (73), who raised his tally to 12 goals this season, before returning Senegalese Nicholas Jackson Villarreal to the fore. (80) Then Capo finally settled matters with his second personal goal in stoppage time (2 + 90).

With this defeat, Espanyol's balance froze at 28 points in the nineteenth place, four points behind the safety zone, to which Valencia climbed with 33 points, after its precious killer victory over its guest, Valladolid 2-1, thanks to a goal in the third minute of stoppage time for Javier Guerra, who entered as a substitute. In the 89th minute.

The conflict in Sudan so far is not a civil war, as the people and parties do not participate in it, and it has no sectarian, ethnic or ideological basis. Both the army commander, Al-Burhan, and the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), are from the same regime and military institution, just as the Rapid Support Forces and the army are The official is from Muslims and of the same Sunni sect and all of them are Arabs, without ignoring the tribal and regional character of Sudanese society, and therefore what appears on the surface until now is that it is a war and a struggle for power, which has been a struggle that has been going on since independence.

For decades, we have been hearing that Sudan, whose area is 1,882,000 square kilometres, is qualified to be a food basket for the entire Arab world due to the fertility of its lands and the raw materials stored in the land. It also has a strategic location in the Horn of Africa and its borders are open to seven countries: Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya. Chad, the Central African Republic, Eritrea, and South Sudan. Nevertheless, the country continued to be poor until it became unable to achieve its food security or achieve political stability. Since its independence in 1956, the country witnessed several successive military coups and civil wars, the most dangerous of which was in southern Sudan, which separated from its north in July 2011 after years of civil war.

There have also been attempts at rebellion and protests in the Darfur region since 2003, which have led to the loss of more than 300,000 lives and the displacement of 2 million, according to official statistics of the United Nations, and they were severely suppressed by the government of Omar al-Bashir with the help of the (Janjaweed) militia, which later turned into the Rapid Support Forces led by Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, who is attempting a coup today against the army and the state led by Al-Burhan.

If we hope that the conflict will remain confined to the military establishment and that it will be stopped quickly, however, there is a fear of repercussions that may lead to the division of Sudan and open the way for the intervention of external parties, and its repercussions on Sudan and the countries of the region may be more dangerous than the repercussions of the chaos of the Arab Spring for several reasons:

1- If there is no sectarian and ethnic conflict, the Sudanese society is a tribal society, and tribalism is no less than sectarian and ethnic in its ability to mobilize and polarize, and Sudan consists of 18 states, each with its own specificity, and some of these states are formed from mixed Arab and non-Arab groups.

2- What is happening in Sudan coincided with the expansion of Russia and China's influence in Sudan and all of Africa, and talk about the role of the Russian Wagner Group in training and supporting the Rapid Support Forces.

3- What is happening coincided with a struggle between NATO, especially Washington, with both China and Russia for hegemony and control of Africa's vast resources, also with the Ukraine war and its potential for it to turn into a world war.

4- In the event of the weakness of the Sudanese state, extremist groups may transfer their terrorist activities to Sudan, especially from the neighboring countries, Libya, Chad and Mali, where these groups are active.

5- Sudan is of strategic importance to Egypt because of its control over the amount of water that reaches Egypt from the Nile River also because it is one of the countries that overlooks and controls the Red Sea, and any political regime in Sudan hostile to Egypt will affect the strategic security of Egypt, especially since Egypt's other borders with Libya and Israel are not completely safe. .

6- The commander of the Rapid Support Forces would not have attempted to seize power and confront the official army, which outnumbered him in numbers and equipment, had he not been supported by foreign parties or promised to support them.

7- Israel has a good relationship with the two parties to the conflict, and it has expressed its willingness to mediate. If it succeeds, it will strengthen its influence with the two parties, and if the mediation fails, it may support one party over another, especially since it has been looking forward for years to have a foothold in the Red Sea.

8- The US State Department's statement that Washington is concerned about the future of the unity of the Sudanese nation. NATO's warning that it will not allow the continuation of the war in Sudan indicates the possibility of direct Western intervention.

9- Even if the confrontations in the capital, Khartoum, are resolved in favor of one party at the expense of the other, this does not mean the end of the war, as the losing party will resort to its tribal support, and in this case we will plunge Sudan into a civil war.

10- In view of the existence of a long history of civil wars, some of which were within the framework of secession, the possibility of the emergence of separatist tendencies is possible, and the Darfur region will be the first to do so.

Someone might say that there is no need to employ the conspiracy theory and exaggerate what is happening in Sudan because what is happening is different from what happened in the (Arab Spring) countries, where the conflict in Sudan is confined to the components of the military institution, and therefore there is no relationship between the two events and there is no fear of the repercussions of the conflict in Sudan, whether on the unity of the state. community or neighboring countries.

We do not say that there is a coincidence between the two cases, but we have to recall that before the chaos of the Arab Spring, many reports and strategic studies leaked from Washington and NATO were talking about the plan (Balkanization) or the fragmentation of the countries of the Arab world, and these reports were talking about the fragmentation of Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Algeria, Lebanon and Iraq into small states The American project for (The New Middle East 2004) and then (The Greater Middle East 2006) referred to this, and the West, especially Washington, with the help of internal parties, succeeded in achieving some achievements in this field, as happened in Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, in the areas of the Palestinian Authority, and even in Sudan, where South Sudan separated from its north in the first year of 2011 from the chaos of the Arab Spring.

When the chaos of the so-called (Arab Spring) erupted in 2011, the prominent face of the conflict and its direct parties were the people in confrontation with the authority, and there was no direct presence in the political scene in the early days of the events of external parties or local armed groups or those coming from abroad, and the slogan of the demonstrators was (the people wants to overthrow the regime), but as soon as days passed, armed groups such as al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Muslim Brotherhood rode in, and foreign countries began to intervene, sometimes hidden by funding opposition groups or directly militarily, as happened in Libya, Syria, and Yemen, and sectarianism, sectarianism, and ethnicity emerged. regionalism, and instead of overthrowing the regime, the state fell.
May God protect Sudan and the people of Sudan from sedition and civil war.

The two goals of Al-Ittihad, who are looking for a first title since 2009, were scored by Moroccan striker Abdel Razzaq Hamdallah (18 and 90 + 15 from two penalty kicks), while the goal of Al-Shabab was scored by Argentine player Christian Guanca (68 from a penalty kick).

Al-Ittihad missed a valuable opportunity when the Brazilian, Romarinho Da Silva, faced the goal, but his ball passed near the post (6).

Al-Ittihad got a penalty kick, which was executed by Abdul-Razzaq Hamdallah, and he played the ball to the left of the Korean goalkeeper, Kim Seong (18).
Al-Shabab almost equalized the score when Al-Braili sent Iago Santos a powerful projectile that passed by the post (28).

The model sympathized with her owners when she tackled Guanca's ball before making her way outside the field (35).

In the second half, the youth rushed to attack in search of an amendment, and it would have been close to that had it not been for the ingenuity of Brazilian goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe, who tackled Guanca's ball and turned it with difficulty into a corner (58).

The referee awarded a penalty kick to the youth, which was executed by Guanca, and he played the ball strong to the right of Grohe (68). Al-Ittihad would have resumed progress quickly had it not been for the ingenuity of Seong, who brilliantly grabbed Ahmed Sharahili's header (71).

Al-Shabab got a second penalty kick for Al-Shabab and a third in the match, which was executed by Aaron Bubenza, but he played the ball easy in the hands of Grohe (89).

The second part

On October 28, 2022 AD, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published an article entitled "The New Kamikazes" in its appendix, referring to the Iranian-made suicide drones that struck Ukraine. In this part, we review the most important things that can be mentioned and commented on in this context:

1- The author of the article followed a zigzag path, up and down, and down throughout the pages of his long article, between the feeling of terror and the dilemma experienced by the Israelis and their military and security institutions in front of the development of Iranian capabilities on the one hand, and between the attempts to underestimate the simple technology that the Iranians have reached on the other hand.

2- At the same time, he was reaching results that aroused many concerns in him, which came in the form of many questions he raised in the context of his article; To confirm that "the Jews are not the only ones who have minds", and to confirm that the face of the next war will change.

3- The writer conveys and confirms the state of balance of terror imposed by the Iranians on Israel despite his focus on one issue, which is the drones, and at the same time tries to reassure the Israeli public by stressing that Israel has succeeded in developing its defense systems and is continuing to develop them, the latest of which is the laser system, then he cannot deny The state of panic, terror and astonishment that the Israelis will enter into if Hezbollah, Iran's arm in the region, one day manages to strike the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, an expression that hides much of what works in the hearts of the Israelis in terms of panic and terror.

4- This article and the previous and subsequent articles, reports, statements and political analyzes come to confirm that the Israeli government, army and people now consider that the first strategic threat that threatens it is coming from Iran, and not from the conflict with the Palestinians, especially after its internal security has been significantly strengthened through the absence of operations The guerrilla movement, especially the explosive one, is internal. Today, only 8% of the Israeli people (according to the latest polls) consider that the most important issue in Israel is the conflict with the Palestinians.

5- "Ehud Ya'ari," the Israeli political analyst on the Israeli channel 12, considered that the war with Iran is ongoing, and the form of war that the Iranians want with Israel is not direct confrontation, but rather through the use of its arms in the region to occupy Israel in it, and considered that the missiles that were launched from Lebanon On 4-9-2023 AD on northern Israel, the Hamas rockets launched from Gaza and the operations in the West Bank, the latest of which was the shooting of three settlements in Al-Jiftlik, all of which come within the framework of this war that Iran is supporting.

6- The attack on Jerusalem and the worshipers in Al-Aqsa during Ramadan, despite its seriousness, turned into a transient event when all eyes were intentionally directed towards the Iranian threat, which stands with its Hezbollah arm behind the missile launches from Lebanon.

7- The official and unofficial Israeli discourse directed its accusations publicly at Hamas and secretly at Hezbollah, which created a balance of terror with Israel more than anyone else, and behind it Iran. All of this confirms that Iran is the target today for Israel and is the danger that must be eliminated.

8- Under the title “The Address is Tehran” in an article by the Israeli writer Yossi Yehoshua on 4-9-2023 AD in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, it stated: “With the deliberations and discussions that the Israeli army held in the past days, the army presented a clear position in which it said: We In direct confrontation with the Iranians, who are trying to heat up all fronts, and who have turned the Palestinians into their special envoy for terrorism in the West Bank and Gaza and among the Arabs of Israel.

9- The same writer adds in the same article: "The right opportunity has come for the Iranians to pay Israel the price for its attack on the lands of Syria and Iran, and that this is with supreme instructions from Khamenei."

10- Thus, matters become more and more clear. The title is Tehran, and Israel is preparing for its next war with it.

11- There is no doubt that Israel is one of the most important arms producers in the world, especially high-tech weapons, which made many countries feel compelled to strengthen their relations with them, with the aim of obtaining advanced weapons, which enabled them to be among the central countries.

12- The central countries, in which knowledge has become the essential element, work to reproduce underdevelopment by widening the gap between them and the peripheral countries and not enabling them to achieve sustainable development, which is what preserves the future of Israel in the Middle East as a center.
13- Normalization (in other words, normalization) with the countries of the Middle East region, especially the Arabs, comes as a result of Israeli superiority and within the context of consolidating the political, military and economic role of Israel as a center and keeping other economies in the region as parties to a sustainable backwardness belonging to this center.

14- The strength of such a force, according to this strategy, will curb the movement of the enemies. Therefore, any Iranian move that tries to get out of the position of the peripheral states and towards approaching the influential regional center countries in the region will be met with a strong reaction from the influential central state in the region (Israel), which pushes Israel To work in several directions:

■ First: Continuing to develop, produce knowledge and modern weapons, and contain global technology and continuous development in it.

■ Second: Continuing to open the horizons of "normalization" with the Arab countries and the countries of the region and developing them to the extent that it facilitates luring the economies of these countries to become dependent and unable to disengage from the Israeli political and economic influence and under the tutelage of the Israeli military and security policy.

■ Third: Continuing to drag the United States of America to support it in its anti-Iranian tendencies and development of its military capabilities, by escalating sanctions against it and strangling its economy.

■ Fourth: Continuing to strike and pursue Iran's arms in the region and on all fronts assumed by Israel, whether in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon or Syria.

15- A military strike against Iran is a matter of time, and the prerequisites for that are clear, which is represented by the continuation of sanctions on Iran and their gradual doubling, similar to what happened in Saddam’s Iraq when the military strike was prepared for with sanctions that lasted 13 years.
16- The delay in this strike stems from the American-Israeli need to ensure that there is no threat to Israel's security as a result of the strike, especially from Hezbollah and perhaps Hamas.

17- Therefore, America and Israel are active in attempts to dismantle or dissolve these parties from within and preoccupy them with their internal affairs by creating internal conflicts that dissipate efforts to develop tools of military resistance in them, and preoccupy them with efforts to preserve governance and power:
A- It can be pointed out that the continuation of the Palestinian division and the sharp disagreement between Fatah and Hamas and the attempts to annihilate it have become an Israeli-American supreme security issue to neutralize their danger and push the Palestinian cause into a dark corner and on the sidelines of the issues that the world aspires to resolve.

B- It is also possible to refer to the continuation of the Lebanese sectarian division and the sharp disagreement between Hezbollah and the rest of the parties of other sects in Lebanon, and attempts to deepen it, which is also an Israeli-American supreme security interest aimed at neutralizing the threat of Hezbollah's military power.

18- What Israel is doing on a daily basis of high-accuracy security intelligence penetration into Syria and its attack on convoys carrying weapons for Hezbollah - according to its claim - and its attempts to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining technologies to improve the performance of its missiles and make them more accurate, and Israel's development of its defense systems against missiles and drones and monitoring Billions of dollars for that, all in preparation for what's to come.

19- The balance of terror that Iran creates through its arms, especially Hezbollah, forces Israel to sit squatting, waiting for the moment when these arms are neutralized from the next battlefield, to pounce on Iran. Undoubtedly, it will be a severe strike that will destroy all of Iran's nuclear and military facilities.

20- The goal is Tehran, and behind this goal is deterring everyone around it or supporting it. Therefore, Israel is the next danger, not only to the region, but also to Russia and China, and this is what you must understand.

A state that existed and will not remain. This is the state of nations and peoples and the Sunnah of the Creator on earth. This is what the leaders of Israel acknowledged by saying that the age of their state is nearing the end. The events that Israel witnessed in the recent period are conclusive evidence of the depth of the political and ideological dispute between the components of the Israeli parties. The State About seven and a half decades ago on the land of historic Palestine, the elite of the entity were at the height of their ego. This came after they defeated seven Arab armies combined. In the context of that picture, their military doctrine states and still is on surprise in war, blitzkrieg, and setting the conditions for peace according to the Zionist vision and Jabotinsky's thought, and they have succeeded to a great extent in imposing a fait accompli on what they call the ring states. There are visions among political leaders that the Nakba and its consequences left traces Negativity of the Arab and Islamic peoples alike with regard to the use of sticks and brandishing of their military arsenal. The life of the catastrophe that befell the Palestinian people is long for a people dispersed in the camps at home and abroad, but it is short for those who stole the land and harnessed everything that Palestine produces for their benefit, the sea, rivers, mountains, hills, plains, and lush land. It produces filtered honey, and among the bounties of Palestine, the occupying state exports the finest types of what the earth produces, and from its hollows it extracts water to irrigate their crops, which constitutes a significant percentage of their military budget support, through which they fight the Palestinian people wherever they go and travel.

The Nakba is just a memory
Intellectuals have written a lot about the independence of the Zionists and their entity, and the catastrophe that befell the Palestinian people, and their pens are still examining the history of the catastrophe, but it has been proven that the pen alone does not change the direction of Arab and Islamic public opinion about the shrines and sanctities in Jerusalem and elsewhere, and the memory of the Nakba remained just a day to be remembered. The Nakba has not been afflicted by its flames, when we roam the streets and alleys of the camps, we see the extent of suffering and oppression in the faces of those who live in the camps, and the misery that appears on the secrets of their faces. This is how the Palestinian situation appears from 1948 until today, as the keys to the homes from which they were forcibly displaced are still exposed in the face of injustice And aggression, this is a message to the world that injustice, no matter how long it lasts, will end sooner or later.

The invalidity of Israeli propaganda
As a reminder, Amira Hass wrote in Haaretz: It is the Jewish state that proves, time after time, the veracity of the Palestinians’ claims that since the 1920s and 1930s.. Zionism is a colonial movement, in which the expulsion of a people from their homeland is its goal and by-product. As summarized by Nehemiah Shtursler / Haaretz Scene His country: On the eve of Independence Day, it is worth realizing how much we depend on the United States, which gives us military superiority, highly advanced planes, Merkava engines and tanks, and funding for Iron Dome and Arrow missiles. It is the one that provides us with weapons systems worth 3.5 billion dollars, and cooperation in intelligence and science.
Zionism failed to promote the idea of the Land of Israel

The first goal of the Zionist movement was and still is to build a safe house for the Jews in the world, but it did not achieve the goal, as Israel today is the most dangerous site in the world for the Jews, after Zionism plunged them into a bloody conflict according to its aggressive and violent colonial policies, and it brought together the Jewish diaspora in the world under the pretext of This is the land that God promised our master Ibrahim. Despite this slogan raised by the Zionist movement before its establishment and the absence of the Basel conference in Switzerland, the vast majority of the Jews of the world were not convinced of this idea, so the movement went to ways to make them run for Palestine, by giving free rein to associations The secrecy in the Arab countries and others to cause explosions here and there, the aim of that is to terrorize the Jews in those countries and deport them under the blows of the swords. The malicious deported hundreds of thousands of Jews to the corners of the globe to replace the original owners of the land.

The Palestinian people are not dead
Days pass by like clouds, and despite the passage of seven and a half decades with the life of the entity, the Palestinian people are still clinging to their land, we find them remembering the details of the details of its history, and it tells generations about a history deep in the past, in which they have journeys and tours, they have the past here, the present, and the future. The saying of one of Israel's senior leaders, "The old ones die and the young ones are forgotten," has fallen forever. No matter how hard they tried to turn the compass, they failed to pass this slogan.
