North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the launch of the country's first military spy satellite after its construction was recently completed, the official North Korean News Agency announced Wednesday.

The agency said that Kim requested, during a visit to the North Korean space agency, "the launch of the first military reconnaissance satellite (North Korea), which was completed in April, on the specified date" for the launch.

But the North Korean leader, who inspected the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with his daughter, did not give any other details about the launch date.

Speaking to administration staff, he called for the deployment of "a number of reconnaissance satellites in different orbits."

Kim Jong Un said that obtaining military reconnaissance technology is a "fundamental task that must be accomplished" to counter what he described as the threats and aggression of Seoul and Washington.

The United States has eavesdropped on the conversations of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and other UN officials, according to a report by The Washington Post, citing leaked classified intelligence documents obtained by the newspaper.

Guterres expressed to United Nations officials and world leaders his "outrage" at being denied the opportunity to visit Ethiopia's war-torn region of Tigray, The Washington Post reported Monday, citing four documents, two of which have not been previously reported. .

Guterres, according to one of the documents dated February 17 and seen by the newspaper, wanted to confront Ethiopia's representative to the United Nations, Taye Atski Selassie Amde, after the country's foreign minister, Demiki Mekonnen, sent a letter to Guterres rejecting his planned visit to Tigray amid peace negotiations.

Another document obtained by the newspaper revealed that Guterres was "not happy" about having to travel to Kiev to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in early March. While the document did not provide a reason for the secretary-general's unwillingness, the newspaper quoted a UN diplomat as saying that weeks of tiring international travel on commercial flights was the reason.

The hundreds of pages of classified documents that led to the arrest of a US Air National Guard member for allegedly disclosing classified national defense information without authorization prompted the US to speed up a damage assessment and restrict access to classified information to some employees of the Department of Defense.

Other documents published by US media recently showed that the United States also spied on allies such as South Korea, Israel and Ukraine.

Asked by Xinhua at an event at the Brookings Institution on Monday to comment on allegations of US espionage efforts and on how Washington can assuage concerns expressed by its allies, Democratic House Representative Abigail Spanberger declined to comment on "anything that has been leaked." specifically.”

The congresswoman, who worked before becoming a deputy as an operations officer in the CIA, praised the US administration's commitment to "protecting the information we collect and our commitment to protecting the information that (US allies) collect and provide to us."

Fox News reached a settlement Tuesday to pay $787.5 million to Dominion , the US voting machine maker it accuses of defamation, in a move that averted the network from a trial that would have been a test of the scope of freedom of expression granted to media in the United States.

Judge Eric Davis announced the settlement at the last minute, after the 12 jury members were selected and while the court was completing preparations to begin arguments in the case.

Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News for $1.6 billion in March 2021, accusing the channel of promoting claims by Donald Trump that its machines were used to falsify the results of the 2020 presidential election, which he lost. In front of Joe Biden.

The company insists that "Fox News" broadcast the false information, although it is aware that it is not true.

"The parties have resolved their case," the judge told the Delaware Supreme Court, telling the jurors they could walk away.

Later, the defense attorney for "Dominion" announced that "Fox News" agreed to pay the company about $ 790 million as part of a settlement of the case.

"The settlement of $787.5 million that was reached today represents an acquittal and accountability," lawyer Justin Nelson said in a press conference in front of the court's headquarters.

Also, a spokesperson for the network issued a statement expressing its satisfaction with the settlement reached.

The statement acknowledged the court's finding that some of the claims about Dominion were "false," noting that the dispute was resolved "amicably."

Dominion says that the network began to support Trump's conspiracy theory, given that it lost its audience after it became the first television channel to decide the election result in the state of Arizona (southwest) in favor of Biden, which was practically an expectation that the Democratic candidate would win the presidency.

Fox News denies the defamation charge. And she stresses that all she did was convey Trump's accusations, not support them, noting that they are protected by the rights of freedom of expression guaranteed in the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

In pretrial hearings, Delaware Judge Eric Davis found there was no doubt that Fox had aired false statements about Dominion.

In order to win, Dominion had to prove that Fox News had indeed acted in bad faith, which is difficult to achieve and has been a cornerstone of US media law since 1964.

Fox News is staffed by a number of traditional journalists, but it dedicates the bulk of its airtime to commentators, including during some of its most-watched programs hosted by prominent conservative figures.

The Dominion lawsuit has already been an embarrassment to Fox, while Murdoch's Wall Street Journal reported that the channel is looking for ways to settle the case.

By reaching a settlement, Murdoch, 92, and well-known presenters such as Tucker Carlson managed to avoid testifying in court.

Murdoch acknowledged in an affidavit about the case that some presenters "endorsed" on air the unsubstantiated accusation that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

But he denied that the entire network promoted the allegations, according to documents filed by Dominion in court in February.

Dominion attorneys also published a set of internal conversations on Fox News in which some commentators expressed dislike of Trump despite praising him on air.

"I hate him so much," said Carlson, speaking of the former president after losing the election.

Fox News, in turn, accused Dominion of "picking and taking statements out of context."

On Wednesday morning, the Israeli army announced that a reconnaissance drone had been shot down in Syrian territory .

According to an Israeli military spokesman, the plane crashed during a routine mission.

He pointed out that there is no fear of information leakage.

The Israeli Occupation Court sentenced the prisoner, Tawfiq Ahmed Al-Shalabi (28 years), from the Jenin camp , to an actual prison term of 4 years and 4 months, and a fine of 4,000 shekels.

Sammour indicated that Al-Shalabi is a former prisoner who spent several years in the occupation prisons

French police are searching for two thieves who stole 25,000 euros in coins and bullion from a gold store during a protest against pension reforms, a local prosecutor announced.

On Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron signed his unpopular reform law to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, fueling anger across the country.

As protests broke out in Rennes, in western France, later that day, the manager of a gold shop who was downstairs at the time heard a commotion upstairs, according to city prosecutor Philippe Astruc.

"As the protesters were walking outside, I noticed that three of the shop's windows were broken," said Astruc.

He added that when she opened the door to inspect the damage, "two people stormed the store, and the first snatched coins and gold bars, while the second quickly grabbed her by her forearms."

The thieves left the place after looting valuables worth about 25,000 euros ($27,000).

Agence France-Presse correspondents said that more than a thousand people participated in the protests that took place on Saturday in the city of Rennes, which included skirmishes between demonstrators and the police.

The night before, after the country's constitutional court approved the reform after three months of largely peaceful protests against it, several storefronts in the city were damaged.

The socialist mayor of Rennes, Nathalie Abery, told AFP the city center had been "looted" in the clashes.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich agreed, with Transportation Minister Miri Regev , to allocate billions of shekels with the aim of developing roads and infrastructure for settlements in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.

According to the Hebrew Channel Seven, the sums will be allocated from the general budget every year.

It will include allocating half a billion shekels to widen the road from the "Ariel" settlement junction to Taffouh.

It will also allocate 136 million shekels to widen access roads to the "Beit El" settlement.

An amount of 2 billion shekels has been allocated for the development of Route 60 settlement.

An amount of 156 million shekels has also been allocated to develop intersections and main roads near Al-Isawiya for the benefit of settlers, and 80 million shekels to expand the eastern ring road in Jerusalem.

The multi-year plan includes the development of other settlement roads in the vicinity of Nablus, Salfit and Qalqilya.

The Palestinian issue is one of the most important Arab and Islamic issues that unites the nation around it, because Palestine is an integral part of the Arab and Islamic nation. In light of the devastating Palestinian division, which is on its way to secession, if the Palestinian leaders do not rectify the division and conflict they are in, which affects and affects the Palestinian cause and exposes it to unimaginable dangers.

Despite the dangers surrounding the Palestinian cause from all sides, and instead of uniting the Palestinian national ranks to face these dangers and move the cause towards safety, the internal disputes are constantly increasing and there is a fear that these disputes will turn into conflicts and take precedence over the main conflict with the occupation and its scourges. It is rising day by day.

Which is more important: factional, personal, and partisan interests, or the supreme national interest, which is the basis on which everyone must set aside their contradictions and differences with the other, and turn towards the external conflict represented by the occupying state and its crimes against our people, our land, our sanctities, and our national institutions, of which nothing remains in Jerusalem, which we glorify. That it is the capital of the independent and aspired Palestinian state, which the occupation works day and night to Judaize and capture it after it annexed it and considered it the capital of its nascent state.

Instead of the Palestinian side taking lessons from what is happening on the Arab and Islamic arena in terms of reconciliations and restoring relations on clear bases, based on common interests and non-interference in the internal affairs of any country, and working to find an Arab pole that has weight in the world, especially since the Arab world has potential. It is not available in many countries and states of the world, as it is rich in everything and its economic unity makes it one of the strongest economies in the world if it is unified after these reconciliations that are in full swing.

Will the Palestinians remain the exceptional case on the Arab level? Where the division will remain and the failure to rebuild the Palestinian internal house on the basis that Palestine and its cause is superior to all internal differences and contradictions.

The Palestinian side must join the ranks of Arab reconciliations and work to reform its internal home before it is too late and before everyone regrets wasting the time and opportunity now available for this reconciliation. Calculating the Palestinian cause, which is the basis and centrality.

During the reception of the released prisoner from the occupation prisons, Ghassan Zawahra, in Dheisheh camp, who spent more than 12 years in various periods, most of which were administrative detentions, his little daughter Mina, 4 years old, was sitting on his lap and close to him, never leaving him as if she did not want anyone to approach him. From her father, the child encircles her father, talks with him, and tells him stories he had not witnessed during his absence from the house. He belongs to her alone. She embraces him time after time, kisses him, holds his hands, and strokes his face and hair. She prevents him from standing, moving, or even shaking hands with well-wishers. The child occupied Mina is her father completely, as if she fears that if he moves, he will not return to her again.

Little Mina grew up in a house surrounded hundreds of times by the occupation soldiers. She wakes up in the morning and does not find her father in the house, and discovers that the brutal soldiers vandalized, destroyed and looted the contents of the house. They shouted, threatened and took her father shackled with iron to the unknown. The innocent girl wakes up and finds that her toys and beds have been destroyed. Her brothers and their safes were unearthed, and the belongings and belongings of the house were scattered, as if a bomb exploded in her innocent dream.

The child Mina began to realize that the refugee, as described by Mahmoud Darwish, is not to be a child from now on, to grow up quickly, to comprehend the meanings of the many pictures hanging on the walls, pictures of martyrs, headed by her martyr uncle Moataz. Blood all around, sounds of bullets and night raids in Dheisheh camp. Mina does not sleep. She hears the adults talking about a martyr who fell tonight and about the wounded and chased. She looks around her looking for her father and her brothers. Little Mina hides in her mother's bosom, overwhelmed with terror and questions.

The beautiful Mina hates the night, the night is heavy, the night of the camp is crowded with anticipation and the raids that have become almost daily, the whispers of the young men indicate the intrusions of the Israeli soldiers and death squads, the movements of the young men indicate that they are preparing for this night to watch and guard the entrances and the confrontation, they spread in the alleys of the camp, in its alleys and on the roofs of the houses. Did God give birth to us on the battlefield? Mina said as she watched a mass funeral passing from the courtyard of the house to the cemetery, where does the martyr go, father? Mina asks and looks at where her father pointed to the sky, but why don't the inhabitants of the sky return, father? Eid al-Fitr is approaching and my uncle, the martyr Moataz, is supposed to come back to buy me many gifts, dresses and sweets.

The little girl Mina is still embracing her father, clinging to him, preventing him from getting up, and he has to hear her because he has been away for a long time. Many stories took place in her life: her mother's stupor and constant sadness, visits to prisons since early dawn, Mina wants to cry and explain to her father the constant fear that inhabits her, trembling and trembling. When the door knocks at night or the soldiers suddenly blow it up, Mina closes the windows and buries her head under the covers. She wants to tell her father about the secret of the black nightmares that haunt her, about the colorful butterflies escaping from her notebooks. Santa Claus did not come to her this year, as people spent all their days in mourning. Convoys of martyrs everywhere in Palestine, no one laughs or smiles, my father, everyone is in pain, no one plays or has fun or lights a tree. I am alone, my father, so do not leave me again.

The child Mina receives well-wishers with her father after he spent two years in administrative detention, and almost prevents him from answering the questions of his friends and loved ones. Mina is the only loud voice in the reception hall, telling people: This is my father for me alone, I have waited for him for a long time, all the time is mine, he has been absent a lot And it's time for me to ask him about the next life. It's time for him to play with me and show me the sea behind the colonies. To sing to me and tell the wordless stories about chains, dungeons, ghosts, torture and the voices of monsters in the cellars of interrogation. Leave my father to me this evening. I need the warm peace in his hands. To a green bird and a rain cloud, I need it, but I am still afraid. Inside me, an echo echoes: my mother's tears, the door, tables, curtains, books, pens, paintings, and withered mint seedlings. Everyone is afraid. I do not walk in the street, as there is a speeding military car. A gun, I'm afraid I'm not in the garden, nor am I at home, my father is back, let the waiting be broken, time moves and silence dies.

The child Mina receives her father's ship, which finally docked. The ship resisted the flood and did not sink in the heavy depths of the prison. The ship docks in its port, in the lap of the little girl. A solid ship that is not made of wood, but of flesh, bone and stubborn will. It crossed all the seas and oceans, but it did not get lost or lost. Knowing submissiveness and surrender, it is the ship of return from the claws of the occupation, the ship of love that spreads across the face of Mina, the love that the occupiers do not know, love is the great human force that seals its mark on the beginning and the end of a people who love life as much as they can.

Mina did not believe that her father had returned from prison, his continuous absence had become routine, administrative detention had become a sweeping rule affecting all groups of the Palestinian people, her intuition had trained her to understand the equation, he would not return after six months, they would renew his detention time after time, he would not return according to Israel's war laws And racism, his secret file says that he still poses a threat to the State of Israel. The judges of the military court fear that if Ghassan Zawahra is released, he will raise his little daughter to be patient so that hope does not tire. Therefore, the military court approved the extension of administrative detention indefinitely, and they thought that In prison, he will lose the ability to taste the taste of air, and his longing and memories will freeze, so he will not write to his daughter Mina about freedom, return, and the longing for space.

Mina began to understand the reasons for the escalation of administrative detention, which exceeded a thousand prisoners this year. The prisoners will not return to their families. They travel through the night of the prisons until their hearts and memories become rotten and corrupted. They forget their plight and their previous lives. The occupation state wants to keep the life of the one-year-old Mina incomplete. After a year, she calls out to him, Father, be faithful, Father, I miss you, I am afraid.

Administrative detention is a form of psychological and social torture. Ask the child Mina. Ask the bereaved families in the military courtrooms. No one is released from the court. The judges approve all orders and decisions of administrative detention. The life of the Palestinian people is scattered, life becomes faltering waiting stations, everything becomes postponed: appointments, occasions, visits, desires, education and travel, souls are filled with amazement, confusion and boredom, meanings evaporate, shocks multiply and pain overflows, who plows the hakoura, who plants trees, who brings the gas canister, who He celebrates Mina's birthday, lights candles for her, buys her the best gift, and takes her to school in the morning.

Administrative detention is a looting of ages, and it began since the era of British colonialism and its provisions were derived from the Nazi laws, but how does the child Mina understand all that? It is the permanent departure of souls and times. The prisoner becomes a mere painting, an image, or fleeting shadows. Who shakes the image and gives it life and identity?

The intimate meeting between the little girl Mina and her father, who was released from prison, drew everyone's attention. The men's tears flowed as they watched the little Farah flutter around her father. It is a far-reaching human and political joy. This little girl says: There is nothing more precious, richer, or holier than freedom. Mina hurts us all because she Attention is drawn to the thousands of children deprived of their parents, sitting under the moonless nights, sleeping on a desperate tear. It is a moment of freedom and liberation from chains and the darkness of darkness, a moment that is enough for the child Mina to live her whole life at once.

In the reception hall of the prisoner Ghassan Zawahra in the Dheisheh camp, I heard the child Mina asking her father: Did you escape from prison, Dad? No one returns from administrative detention, and if he does, he will soon be arrested again. The astonished child did not believe that her father was at home. Perhaps he dug a tunnel and escaped. Administrative detention is the permanent enemy that stalks the Palestinian people without mercy. Perhaps her father turned into a shadow overlooking the night. The camp out of nowhere, perhaps it is a dream of her dreams and disturbed obsessions, Mina encircling her father with her body, pressing his hands, smelling his breath and smell and looking at his face and eyes, Mina wants to make sure that he is with her, she looks around as if she is afraid that the soldiers will kidnap him and put him in those unjust prisons, Mina She sleeps in her father's lap, saying: This is my father, give me a moment to feel that my childhood is complete.

As it did with the seclusion stationed in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, during the days of the blessed month of Ramadan, the colony’s tools and security services attacked the Christian arrivals on Saturday to perform their religious rituals with the celebrations of the Day of Resurrection and the glorious Easter.

However, despite the cruelty practiced against our Christian brothers, as it has already done time and time again with Muslims, it undoubtedly indicated a very important required content, reflecting the reality of the situation and the deep aspirations for the cohesion and unity of the Palestinian people with their pluralism and components.

The colony’s apparatus has shown that it deals with the Palestinian Arab people as one unit, as Palestinian Arabs, Muslims, Christians, and Druze, who stand united in the face of the arbitrary and racist policies of the occupying colony. Palestine, what you do with the pioneers of Al-Aqsa, you do with the pioneers of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and what you do with the people of the Negev in demolishing their homes in rejection of housing and expansion, you do with the people of Sheikh Jarrah and the rest of the residents of Jerusalem.

The vigilance of the Palestinians is required and necessary, in the face of the colony, and the more time goes on, the more and more the truth of this aggressive expansionist project that is unjustly and arbitrarily revealed on the Palestinians’ land and homeland, and thus compels them without hesitation to be in the national, national, religious and humanitarian trench colliding with the occupation’s programs and its subjugating settlement tools.

Sami Abu Shehadeh, head of the National Democratic Gathering Party in the 48 regions, called with the rest of the leaders of the Palestinian Arab community in the regions of Galilee, Carmel, the Triangle, the Negev, and the mixed coastal cities. Christians, in these virtuous and holy days, so that Jerusalem remains adorned and filled with its people and people from all the villages and cities of Palestine, and this is the case for the Higher Follow-up Committee for the Palestinian Arab Society as the leadership of the daily struggle in the face of racism, discrimination and occupation.

The colony's apparatus is inciting against the national leader, Muhammad Baraka, the elected head of the Follow-up Committee, due to his personal solidity, his strict, sincere and loyal commitment to work standards and the national interest that reflect the positions of his people, and the positions of the three combined parties constituting the Follow-up Committee, namely: 1- Political parties, 2- Mayors, 3 Parliament representatives, who form the base of action and its political leadership for their people in the 48 regions.

The response of a quarter of a million worshipers to perform the prayer on the orphan Friday and 280,000 Laylat al-Qadr in Al-Aqsa Mosque is a Palestinian referendum before the world in preserving Jerusalem as a Palestinian city and Al-Aqsa as a sacred mosque for Muslims, and a religious and national struggle position in rejecting the occupation. Will the world respond to the call and aspirations of the Palestinians??.

The Israeli army announced, on Wednesday, that it had arrested last night a Palestinian boy from Nablus , claiming that he was behind the shooting attack in Sheikh Jarrah in occupied Jerusalem yesterday morning.

According to the statement, the detainee is 15 years old, and he is from the old Askar camp, east of Nablus.

The statement indicated that the operation was carried out in cooperation with the Shin Bet, to which the detainee was referred for investigation.

As for the Hebrew website Ynet, the detainee is Abdullah Zumar.

Yesterday, settlers were moderately and lightly wounded.

On the day of the Palestinian prisoner, there are still more than 4,600 prisoners who suffer from pain, hunger and suffering, including more than 600 prisoners who suffer from various chronic diseases, as a result of the experiences of the colonizers’ clinics, who revealed more than once that the prisoners are one of the tools for laboratory examinations, medicines and industries in the occupation biotechnology sector, which The colonial state is interested in it, and this sector includes many companies distributed in various fields that the colonial colonial state focuses on to ensure its superiority and technical progress, such as vital drug compounds. About 21% of the occupation companies work in it, about 14% work in the field of antibodies, immunotherapy and vaccines, and 15% in the field of Tissue engineering, cell therapy, and prisoners are part of the cells of the historical test of these colonial products, pharmaceutical products, and other technologies. The increasing percentage of prisoners suffering from various diseases, such as tumors and cancers, is nothing but the best embodiment of the results of these programmed operations that are supervised by the specialized Zionist institutions of the enemy.

There are also experiments that take place in the field of security surveillance, siege, eavesdropping and filming, especially in the Gilboa prison experience after Operation Freedom Tunnel and the daring escape that destroyed the so-called the most guarded safe prison in the Zionist terrorist state.
Historically, the prisoners are subjected, through a series of different levels, to an intellectual, psychological, cultural, health and physical war, as the pace of this Zionist attack has increased recently at the hands of the criminal Ben Gfir, who seeks and will continue to seek to turn the wheel of history back and return the reality of the captive movement to before the 1967 setback. Through this policy, the worst types of fascism, punishments, and terrorism against Palestinian prisoners turn prisons into bastilles of repression, discipline, physical and psychological terror, a killing arena of various forms, and deprivation of all human, health, religious, social, psychological, legal, and educational rights. And to retreat at the gates of the holy month of Ramadan for fear of an explosion of the security situation in the occupied territories, where the Palestinian prisoners had decided to embark on an open hunger strike movement under the title of the battle of freedom or martyrdom.

The squares of Zionist prisons confirm, on the Palestinian Prisoner’s Day, the reality of this terrorist enemy, its racism, and its inhuman, colonial essence, which refuses to obey any humanitarian, moral, or international law, and thwarts all opportunities for dialogue, stability, and peace.
And the free people of the world, the institutions of international law, and all the sons of the Arab nation must take real and collective action to do justice to the Palestinian prisoners and reveal the extent of the crimes, the policies of slow killing, and the colonial violence to which they are subjected inside the Zionist prisons.

The will of the prisoners defies all Zionist crime because it is the will of the revolution, freedom and humanity. We struggle, sacrifice, suffer and starve in defense of the banner of freedom baptized with blood and wounds. Our heads will not bow or bow to all these aggressive policies. We will remain the revolutionaries of Palestine, the guards of hope, the candles of sacrifice, the lanterns of freedom, the sword of the free, and the guns of the revolution that do not compromise on the ground. sanctities and supreme national goals.

All our days inside prisons are days of struggle, steadfastness, heroism, revolution, death cells, and Zionist terrorism always breaking on the rock of our steadfastness, and with us all the free people of the world and the masses of our Arab nation.

President Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine, hosted a Ramadan iftar, to which he invited a large group of segments of the Palestinian political and civil society, in addition to a number of ambassadors, academics and media professionals. After Iftar, he delivered a speech embracing the right of return, and his title was adherence to the national constants.

The speech was filled with a sense of refuge and adherence to national constants, foremost of which is the right of return of Palestinian refugees to their homes from which they were expelled as a result of the genocide to which the Palestinian people were subjected in the Nakba War. In most parts of the speech, the president's call for the implementation of Partition Resolutions No. 181 and Return Resolution No. 194 was repeated, and he repeated in his hadith more than 50 times vocabulary related to asylum, return, displacement and the Nakba. Not only that, but he shifted responsibility for the catastrophe to the western countries that strengthened the concept of the national home for the Jews in Palestine. And it forced the Jews in the world to establish this homeland in Palestine in order to get rid of their problems first, and in order to rely on them to preserve their colonial interests in the region second. The important addition in the President's speech is the analysis of the historical evidence indicating that the Jewish majority is not convinced of establishing a national home for them in Palestine and prefers to stay in Western countries. This is entirely consistent with what Ilan Pappe went to in writing The Ethnic Cleansing of the Palestinians, that Zionism is the movement of the Jewish minority.

The President referred to the importance of commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Nakba in various parts of the world, including the corridors of the United Nations, to which he will go this year himself in order to commemorate the anniversary and to demand the international community to assume its moral and legal responsibilities towards the Palestinian people, and on top of these responsibilities is the recognition of an independent Palestinian state and the return of Palestinian refugees. to their homes.
The President clearly indicated that historical Palestine is the national and historical homeland of the Palestinian people, that it is the homeland of the Canaanite Arab Palestinians, and that the Zionists are a group of gangs that usurped the Palestinian land and displaced people.

Asylum in the president's speech is not only a political stance, but rather a personal stance that the president, his family and the people of his city, Safed, went through while they were fleeing their city in the 1948 war as a result of the genocide carried out by the Zionist gangs. That is why we sense the extent of suffering, sadness, and bitterness in his words when he talks about the Palestinian villages and cities that were destroyed in the Nakba, and their number exceeded 530 villages and cities. In fact, the President embodied in his speech the meaning and bitterness of asylum, and the constants of the Palestinian refugee who adheres to his right to return and compensation. Anyone who heard his speech realizes the extent of this bitterness in his words when he talks about a people who were displaced from their land before the eyes of the world. He speaks with the language of the refugee and with his unceasing self in the struggle for his rights. In his speech, the President assured everyone that he would never give up the right of return for the Palestinian refugees, because it is a sacred right and one of the Palestinian constants, such as the state and Jerusalem. In fact, these positions, and this historical memory replete with speech, are not surprising when the president is a refugee. At that time, the key to return must be in his heart, approach, and knowledge.

On Wednesday, an Israeli court sentenced the prisoner , Sanad Turman , from occupied Jerusalem , to 30 years in prison.

According to the Hebrew Channel Seven, the ruling against Turman includes paying a fine to soldiers who were run over by him in occupied Jerusalem in 2020.

The operation resulted in the injury of 12 soldiers while they were walking in the vicinity of Al-Buraq Wall.

The council determined the value of the daily transportation allowance that the employer must pay to the employee for each day of actual attendance at the work center at 250,000 pounds (two and a half dollars).

These measures coincided with demand movements and protests in the vicinity of the Prime Minister's headquarters in downtown Beirut.

During the cabinet meeting, Mikati touched on the protest movements, saying that "the demands raised are mostly just, and we are working to resolve them and approve them according to the capabilities available in the treasury."

He expressed understanding for "the cries of the demonstrators, and we assure that we will spare no effort to follow them up."

The official Lebanese National News Agency stated that the sit-ins included confrontations between the sit-down military retirees and retirees of public administrations, in protest against the low value of their salaries in light of the collapse of the national currency.

Protesters tried to cut barbed wire in the vicinity of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, while the riot police fired tear gas to disperse them and remove them from the entrances to the headquarters, which caused injuries among the protesters and suffocation cases that required the civil defense personnel to provide first aid on the field.

Since the end of 2009, Lebanon has been witnessing a severe financial and economic crisis, which the World Bank classified as one of the worst crises in the world since the mid-nineteenth century.

Supporters of the Palestinian right in the United States closed the entrances to the Israeli consulate in San Francisco , California, USA, with iron chains.

Activists demonstrated today in front of the consulate, and tied themselves with chains at its entrances, in protest against Israel receiving about four billion dollars in aid taken from American taxpayers' money.

Participants from supporters of the American Green Party in New York State, during a protest, distributed posters to passers-by revealing the loss of American citizens from sums of money deducted from taxpayers' money, given to Israel, and the amount of interest that could have been used in projects in the United States.

According to one of the posters, this amount is sufficient to provide health insurance for more than one million and three hundred thousand American children or to house 450 thousand American families in homes for people with limited income.

The Israeli military government authorities are working to consolidate their settler-colonial regime in Palestine, which practices the worst forms of the apartheid apartheid system, where the Palestinian childhood witnesses a real tragedy in light of the reality of the occupation and the difficult living conditions within the privacy of the Palestinian society in light of the practices of the occupation and targeting, chasing and arresting children, instead of practicing joy Happiness, learning, knowledge and educational attainment The Israeli occupation continues to misery the children of Palestine, depriving them of their freedom, persecuting them and putting them in tragic conditions inside its prisons, ignoring all the international covenants and laws that guarantee their rights as children.

The Palestinian child was not isolated from the arbitrary Israeli occupation measures against the Palestinian people. Rather, Palestinian children are targeted and are at the forefront of the victims of the military occupation and its aggressive and repressive practices to form a basic strategy for targeting children through killings, arrests, torture, and storming of homes and educational facilities, despite the fact that children are among the groups protected under International laws and norms that provide for the respect and protection of their rights in a special and permanent manner, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Targeting Palestinian children with the aim of killing them and causing them temporary or permanent disabilities, constituted a consistent policy followed by the occupation governments through their excessive use of force, taking advantage of the policy of impunity and the absence of international accountability, as the occupation authorities arrest more than 160 Palestinian children and girls who are absent from the prisons and basements of the occupation, detained Inside (Ofer, Megiddo, and Damon) detention centers, with painful and oppressive living and detention conditions, except for children languishing in interrogation and detention centers and Israeli prisons.



The Israeli occupation authorities deliberately carry out many violations against child prisoners from the moment of their arrest, and the brutal way in which they are taken from their homes in the late hours of the night. Interrogation, arrest, keeping them without food or drink, using severe beatings, directing insults and obscene words at them, threatening and intimidating them, and extracting confessions from them under pressure and threat.

In addition to these violations, issuing sentences in absentia against them, which are often high sentences that may reach more than ten years and even life sentences and heavy financial fines, and depriving them of meeting lawyers and family visits, and of health care and medical treatment, and usually painkillers are the treatment for various diseases. Types of diseases.

In light of the continuation of this racism and the practices of the occupation against Palestinian children, the institutions of the international community, especially those that care for children’s rights, led by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), must exert their efforts and work with transparency and commitment to care for Palestinian children, provide them with legal and humanitarian protection, and preserve their rights targeted by the occupation The Israeli on a daily basis through the series of crimes it commits against them, including killing, arresting, shooting injuries, and breaking into homes and schools, without the slightest regard for their young age and innocence.

The practice of these anti-human rights policies must be confronted by international institutions, especially the International Red Cross, and intervention to end the suffering of minor detainees held in prisons that lack the minimum necessities of human life, and to hold the occupying power accountable for the crimes it commits against them, as they are subjected to severe and brutal methods of torture that are completely contrary to the Convention. the rights of the child" and for the dignity and humanity of children, and at a time when the countries of the whole world praise the treaties of children's rights and human justice.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Tuesday accused the US Department of Defense ( Pentagon ) of espionage, saying his government would protect information related to its national defense.

The Mexican president said in his daily press conference that the Mexican media had received, in part, leaks from the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

"We will protect the Navy and Defense Department's information because the Pentagon is spying on us and many media outlets in Mexico are leaking information provided by the DEA," he said.

Lopez Obrador emphasized that his administration would protect state information for reasons of national security and also in defense of Mexico's sovereignty.

The president's remarks came a day after he accused the US Drug Enforcement Administration of "arbitrary interference" and "arrogance" over its infiltration of the "Sinaloa" drug smuggling gang.

The US government alleges that Mexico is responsible for the illegal smuggling of fentanyl into its territory.

In response, Mexico said that the United States was not doing enough to combat the reasons why its population turned to illegal drugs.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is subject to attempts to reduce its services and erase its identity as a witness to the Nakba that befell the Palestinians since 1948.

Israel began its conspiracy against UNRWA a long time ago, but it did not succeed in marketing its pretexts to the international community and its international organizations that sponsor this issue. Palestinians, and demanded the cessation of cooperation with it and the end of its role, and the claim that its continuity of existence will impede finding a solution to the refugee issue and the Palestinian cause in general!!

In fact, for the Palestinian refugees, UNRWA is not only an entity that provides relief and humanitarian services, but rather it is a historical witness to their forced displacement, and the tragedies of displacement, forms of occupation and aggression that they have been subjected to for more than seven decades. The agency's first goal - as it is known - is to assist and protect Palestinian refugees, and to secure work for them in its areas of operations until a just solution to their case is reached.

From here, the dimensions of the Zionist conspiracy against UNRWA become clear, and that the purpose behind the attempts to remove it from the political, humanitarian and legal map is a malicious process to erase the “right of return” of more than six million refugees. More than one Palestinian official has clarified this issue, saying: There is a conspiracy against the refugee issue led by the Zionist lobby, which exerted pressure on the ruling institutions and parliaments in order to push their governments to stop paying their contributions to UNRWA, and to create financial crises for it, which prompted it to reduce its services and provoke demonstrations against it. The plans and attempts to put pressure on UNRWA are purely political in order to undermine the refugee issue and end it away from international resolutions. This was previously recognized by John King; The former director of the Agency’s operations, by saying: “UNRWA” is targeted by the opponents of the Palestinian people, and these opponents want to end its role, as it expresses the identity of the refugees and their cause remains alive.. indicating that the right of return will not be taken away from the Palestinians and will remain in place, as long as there are refugees. And UNRWA will remain a witness to that.

In fact, Israel has succeeded - relatively - in its conspiratorial attempts to reduce subsidies and create confusion and financial crises during the era of former US President Trump. This affected the image of UNRWA in the eyes of Palestinian refugees, especially in the Gaza Strip, and moved their masses to protest and demonstrate in a remarkable way. There was a fear that the motives of this discontent might be misunderstood, and that it would deviate from its aim, which is to deliver messages to remind the agency of the "assignment mission" for which it is working.

Unfortunately, there have been cases of targeting and accusing some UNRWA officials, while many Palestinian politicians know that the repercussions of the Zionist conspiracy are beyond the capacity of these officials, who have spared no effort to secure UNRWA's basic needs and development budgets. Among those unjustly accused was Philippe Lazzarini; The new Commissioner-General of UNRWA, who spared no effort to move with the Europeans to bring more support to secure the stability of the agency's financial conditions, and this is what he succeeded in achieving, despite the decline in the status of the Palestinian cause on the international agenda.

Despite all forms of Zionist conspiracy that posed an existential threat to UNRWA, the moves and campaigns undertaken by Commissioner-General Lazrini to collect money for the agency have paid off, as the year 2022 witnessed an important breakthrough in the process of sustainable financing for more than a year, which is considered one of the radical solutions. The agency's financial crisis, as the conference of donor countries held in Brussels at the end of the year 2021 constituted a first advanced stage towards a solution, and this is a shift that inspires stability and optimism.

A testimony to history.. The Palestinians, whether through their official identity represented by the Liberation Organization or as a whole of the forces, parties and clans, have preserved and preserved the survival of UNRWA to remain as an international address bearing witness to their calamity, and the relations between the Palestinian component inside and outside the camps and the agency’s presidency in its areas of operations have remained during the past seven decades. It is characterized by mutual respect and appreciation, in order to provide services to Palestinian refugees within the mandate granted by the United Nations General Assembly, which is renewed every three years. From here, the Agency's general administration, as well as the host authorities represented by the Palestinian National Authority, as well as the Palestinian forces and factions and the government in the Gaza Strip, are required to maintain this delicate relationship, in order for the Agency to continue its work and survival until achieving the goals for which it was established.

Based on the foregoing, it is important to mention that the reality of the Palestinian division has negatively affected the agency’s relationship with Palestinian society. From a formal point of view, the agency is legally obligated to preserve the laws of the host country, according to which the agency implements the decisions of the Palestinian Authority without sometimes considering the decisions and recommendations of administrations. Hence, some problems occur on the ground, whether in the field of education or health, especially during the imposition of specific strikes to express a political reality. Education and health services for Palestinian refugees. Accordingly; We are required to deal with the agency professionally and with great flexibility in this field.

Therefore, in the face of this reality that we Palestinians live in, it is important to take the following things into account:

Firstly; We, as Palestinians, must preserve the continuity of the agency's work, as it is the only witness to our calamity, and this should be done by facilitating its work, not demonizing it, and understanding some of its demands.

secondly; Maintaining a hotline to deal with the agency represented by a conscious and balanced personality who knows well the nature of the work of international institutions, and is professionally skilled at overcoming any obstacles that may occur during the agency's implementation of its operations.

Third; The higher managements of the agency must draw up their policy with a kind of flexibility and understanding regarding the natural inclinations of their employees. They must understand that the Palestinian problem has not yet found a solution, and that the Palestinian has national aspirations and a patriotic feeling that resides in his conscience, and he is fond of the love of his country before he worked in the agency as an employee. .

The observer of the agency's work during its long history notes that it has gone through strong administrations that vigorously defended the Palestinian right in international forums, and did not allow some institutions that might be linked to private agendas to harm the agency's reputation, impartiality, and the neutrality of its employees.

In conclusion, I say: UNRWA provides great services to the Palestinian people that the official Palestinian institutions or even the Palestinian parties and forces are unable to provide.. From here, it is required to preserve the agency and its survival, as the conspiracy against it and its existence is very big. As a Palestinian refugee, UNRWA represents my mother and father to me, the pen that wrote my consciousness and my culture, and the safe haven that preserved my dignity and granted me a place among peoples and nations, and it still preserves in its records the most important document that belongs to me as a Palestinian, which is the “right of return.”

The division still exists. Attempts to end it have failed.

This saying was dictated by the facts of more than fifteen years, replete with no less than a hundred attempts to end it, until it became the distinguishing mark on the face of the Palestinian situation, which is exhausted under the weight of internal crises that have no solution, and political crises from which there is no way out.

The division as one of the crises, not all of them, was a faltering investment for everyone who tried to mediate between its two sides to end it. If we review the many stations that the reconciliation train traveled, we see a common denominator between them, which is the failure to reach the last station - success - if we do not say that the results were counterproductive. Exactly, and its conclusion is deepening the division and turning it into separation with the consecration of two legitimacy for one people, one cause and one goal, an official legitimacy that some like to call the constitutionality and legitimacy of the fait accompli that everyone deals with without official recognition of it.

The question of questions.. What is the secret of this continuous failure, even though the need for success is urgent for a people who are all under occupation and siege, and there is an indisputable certainty that the occupation is the primary beneficiary of its continuation.

The secret is no longer a mystery. It was revealed by the late Minister Omar Suleiman, the first to carry the reconciliation file, and he worked on it diligently, patiently, and determined.

He said: "The reason for failure is the absence of the Palestinian lever, without which there is no hope for any intervention, no matter how powerful his influence, to reach a result."

I understood from what the man most familiar with all the details of the file said, that reconciliation must begin with a Palestinian effort, and that others should only provide assistance and care, and even the right place if the occupation caused, and is already causing, the non-participation of leaders that prevent them from being freely present on the land of the crisis and in solution efforts.

The Palestinian-Palestinian leverage can be provided without the occupation having an influential role due to its control of the place, through the credibility of each party towards the other, and this was absent due to the understanding of each party in the interest of its own agendas, and the behavior of each party to subjugate the other in pursuit of the impossible, which is to resolve the conflict over Power and influence for the benefit of one party at the expense of the other party.

The Palestinian reality, within its internal framework, does not allow any room for a resolution of this kind. Hamas in Gaza cannot eliminate Fatah and its allies from among the components of the PLO, nor can the authority in Ramallah cancel Hamas, which has an undeniable public presence. The same thing happens at any time and place, which is that the authority in Gaza is an opposition in Ramallah, and the authority in the West Bank is an opposition in Gaza.

Far from, far from being reached, an agreement that abolishes this situation, even if all the countries of the world intervened.

The fundamental cause lies in the nature of the leadership position in the Palestinian arena, which is still governed by forces belonging to a bygone era. Although it was appropriate at a time when the power and influence of the factions under the banner of the Liberation Organization flourished, it is not appropriate now, not in the management of the internal situation, where Each party monopolizes what is under its control, not in terms of foreign policy, as each faction has its own program, relations, alliances, and financing.

The Palestinians and their brothers and friends who are keen on them are wondering what is the way out of this ongoing situation, which has rightfully been called the second Nakba.

It is no longer useful to sit by the phone waiting for a call for dialogue in any capital, noting that there are no longer any capitals calling for failure in this file.

It is no longer useful to divert the ball from its rightful goal, with mutual accusations and the involvement of the external factor, as if it is responsible for the continuation of the division.

It is no longer useful to repeat that we need a comprehensive, in-depth, mature, responsible dialogue, etc... after thousands of dialogue sessions that took place in capitals and on the homeland.

What is useful is one thing, no matter how difficult it may seem, but it is the most realistic and feasible.. which is everyone going to the polls to produce one legitimacy and a unified national framework, and what the fund produces determines the size and merit of all those who came out of it in managing the affairs of the country and the people. As for the claim of influence from outside this The fund will only lead to a continuity of what we are in, according to the most eloquent colloquial proverb in the embodiment of chaos and fragmentation, "the case of each of the Edu Alo."

Remember how we united last May on the merits of the elections and how our division increased when we abandoned it.

The ministry indicated in a statement that the two sides discussed during the meeting joint mechanisms and procedures to implement the "Al-Ula" statement, and stressed the importance of consolidating relations between the two countries and developing joint work in a way that achieves common interests between them.

It also follows the announcement of the Qatari-Bahraini Follow-up Committee on the 12th of this month to restore diplomatic relations between Doha and Manama in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter and the provisions of the Vienna Treaty on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, after a meeting held by the committee in Riyadh, according to two simultaneous statements by the foreign ministries of the two countries.

The UAE, along with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt, announced in June 2017 the severance of diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing it of supporting and financing terrorism and interfering in its internal affairs, which Doha strongly denied.

After the reconciliation that took place under the "Al-Ula" agreement at the 41st Gulf Summit in January 2021, Qatar held bilateral discussions with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE to resolve outstanding issues, and the three countries restored trade relations and transportation with Qatar to their previous state.

Doha also received ambassadors from Egypt and Saudi Arabia and sent its ambassadors to Cairo and Riyadh, while the ambassadors between it and Abu Dhabi and Manama did not return.

Netflix announced Tuesday that it had 232.5 million subscribers in the first quarter of the year and that its new ad-supported subscriptions are doing well.

The streaming TV platform reported first-quarter profit of $1.3 billion, in line with expectations, but announced it was delaying a large-scale crackdown on password sharing to "improve the subscriber experience".

And Netflix announced that it intends to provide paid options for sharing passwords during the current quarter.
This means postponing the profits of some subscriptions and revenues resulting from the move, according to a statement distributed by the company to its shareholders.

Netflix said it believed the move would "lead to better results for our subscribers and our company".

And Netflix recently introduced new ad-supported subscriptions, and said that the interaction with the move exceeded initial expectations, noting that “very few” subscribers abandoned their subscriptions to switch to this type of subscription.

In addition, Netflix announced that it will stop by the end of the year, the DVD rental service via mail, which it launched 25 years ago.

The market study company, Insider Intelligence, expects that Netflix will achieve $770 million this year from advertising revenue from these subscriptions, and it is likely that the figure will exceed $1 billion next year.

Last year, Netflix's growth slowed, prompting the Silicon Valley company to offer cheaper, ad-supported subscriptions.

And Netflix seeks to motivate people who watch its content for free by sharing passwords, to pay for this service without affecting its subscribers.

A study published by Insider Intelligence predicted that in 2023, for the first time ever, American adults will spend more time watching online video, specifically on platforms such as YouTube, Netflix and TikTok, than they spend watching traditional TV stations.

As for the interim coach of Chelsea, Frank Lampard, he said, "At this level of the competition, you have to translate opportunities into goals. We deserved to score, but they scored a goal that ended everything before they added the second. I cannot blame the players for this performance."

The confrontation between the royal and London clubs was a rematch of their confrontation in the semi-finals of the 2020-2021 season when Chelsea emerged victorious (1-1 and 2-0) on their way to the title and the quarter-finals of last season when Real Madrid won the first leg away from home 3-1 and qualified for the semi-finals despite Losing it back home 2-3 after extension on its way to the title.

This was the third confrontation between the two teams in three weeks. Milan had won the previous two matches 4-0 as a guest in the league, and 1-0 in San Siro in the first leg of the Champions League last week.

The match started with a pressing and fierce attack by Napoli through Kvaratskhelia's incursions, Osimhen's positioning, and Matteo Politano's shots from outside the penalty area.

And the “Rossoneri” thought that luck smiled at him when the match referee awarded him a penalty kick after an intervention from the Portuguese Mario Roy on the Portuguese Rafael Leao, so Giro ran to her, but goalkeeper Alex Merritt was on the lookout for her and blocked his shot (22).

Merritt rose again in the 28th minute, against Giroud, who missed a goal almost alone.

Amidst Napoli's attempts to open the scoring, Frenchman Tanguy Ndombele failed to receive a ball on the outskirts of the Milan penalty area, and it reached Liao, who launched it with a quick counterattack in which he overtook three players before passing it to Giroud, who fired into the open goal, scoring the first goal (43).

Osimhen scored a goal before the end of the first half of the match, but it was canceled due to a handball on the Nigerian (45 + 4).
There was a glimmer of hope for the hosts in the 80th minute, when the referee awarded a penalty kick after a handball on English defender Fikayo Tomori, but French goalkeeper Mike Mignan shone in turn, blocking a "Kafara" shot and denying Napoli a draw.

The Disciplinary Committee also decided to punish the president of Zamalek Club, Mortada Mansour, by preventing him from attending any matches for a period of two months and fining him 300,000 pounds, in response to the Al-Ahly club’s complaint against him because of the insulting statements to Kahraba and Al-Ahly Club.

"Kahraba was suspended for 12 matches, and it is natural that the Grievance Committee is not aware of the decision, because the aggrieved party has not submitted any appeal so far," the head of the Disciplinary Committee said in a press statement.

He added, "In the affected Egyptian law, he submits a grievance against the decision as soon as he is informed of it within 10 days from the date of the decision's issuance, and in the event of an appeal against the decision, the penalty remains valid until the matter is decided and an official decision is issued, whether to reduce the penalty, keep it as it is, or cancel it."

He stressed that the decision to stop Kahraba prevents him from playing the local Super Cup match that will be held on the fifth of next May in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, and any match organized by the Egyptian Football Association.

The head of the Grievances Committee, Adel Al-Shorbagy, announced on Monday in televised statements that the committee had not yet received any decision from the Egyptian Football Association regarding stopping Kahraba.
