The American New York Times reported, at dawn on Monday, that the current US administration, headed by Joe Biden , signed a secret contract with the American branch of the Israeli company NSO .

According to the American newspaper, as reported by the Hebrew website Ynet, the Israeli company granted the US administration access to spyware that could secretly monitor cell phones without the knowledge or consent of their owners.

She indicated that the secret contract was signed only about 5 days after the Biden administration announced that it would take action against NSO, after using its hacking tools to spy on many figures in the world.

In response, White House officials said they were unaware of the signed contract.

The so-called Israeli Minister of National Security , Itamar Ben Gvir , confirmed that his plan to establish the "National Guard" aims to prevent a recurrence of the scenario of what happened during the "Guardian of the Walls / Sword of Jerusalem " in May 2021.

Ben Gvir said in an interview with the Hebrew newspaper, Israel Hayom, on Monday, that more than 700 days have passed since the “guard of the walls,” and there is still no “national guard” dealing with any similar events.

He pointed out that the establishment of this force will not take much time, noting that he will seek to run it as soon as possible.

He renewed his rejection of the criticism directed at the formation of this force, which some described as a private "militia" that will implement Ben Gvir's orders against the Palestinians of the interior .

The Hebrew newspaper, Haaretz, said today, Monday, that the Israeli security system is preparing for the “guard of the walls 2” scenario, through several measures that will be taken after they were recently discussed in the corridors of that system.

Among what has been focused on is the mobilization of reserve forces from the Israeli army to deal with any unusual events that may take place in the mixed cities in which Arabs and Jews live in the cities of the Green Line, according to the newspaper.

The newspaper indicated that if the new "National Guard" plan is implemented, which will be supervised by the so-called Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, this force will not act as regular police, but as paramilitary forces that will be used in times of emergency in the Green Line areas and deal mainly with Any national events among the Palestinians inside .

And the newspaper indicated that, in recent months, joint meetings were held between the police and the Israeli army, during which the division of powers and roles was discussed in the event of the "guard of the walls 2" scenario, with reference to the battle of "Saif al-Quds" as it was named in Palestine in May 2021.

Recently, an executive plan was drawn up according to which reserve forces from the Israeli Home Front would be deployed to secure traffic on dozens of roads in these mixed cities, which are supposed to be carried out by the police and, in the future, the National Guard. However, there are fears that the recruitment of reserve forces From the army means that the latter finds itself in the face of "the Arabs in Israel."

Knesset member Yoav Segalovich of the Yesh Atid party, a former deputy minister of internal security, will ask the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Knesset to hold a discussion on this issue after the Jewish “Passover” holiday, telling the Hebrew newspaper that this requires broad and deep thinking because it carries risks. A great strategy, noting that he fears that the "Arab public in Israel will see that this plan aims to militarize relations."

Segalovich warned that if the soldiers fired live bullets at the "Arabs" during any events, this could be a very negative turn that would threaten relations and have political consequences.

The Israeli security system justifies the deployment of reserve forces from its army by saying that the police do not have enough manpower to deal with the situation, and therefore light reserve forces will be deployed with cars and equipped with firearms and means of dispersing demonstrations.

And the intention is that 16 battalions will be deployed, especially in large parts of the Negev, on the main roads in the north, and to protect strategic infrastructure sites. Almost half of this number has already been formed and its elements have undergone initial training. The possibility of deploying reserve battalions in neighborhoods has also been discussed. East Jerusalem, although that is not part of the plan.

A senior security source criticized the proposals discussed in the meetings, warning that the assignment scenarios that are assigned to the Israeli army represent a strategic shift in conflict situations and wars regarding “the loyalty of the Arabs to Israel,” and that such a step would change the rules of the game in dealing with them, pointing to The risks of the police's ability to contain any event that deviates from its normal state were discussed, in light of the estimates that a small number will participate in the events if they occur.

The Shin Bet estimates that 5,000 Palestinians from the interior may take part in the events, which is a small number that needs to be dealt with with individual treatment tools and is not part of a comprehensive policy towards all Palestinians inside.

The newspaper says that the Israeli army has failed more than once to deal with violent demonstrations inside the West Bank, and therefore it will face great difficulties in the event that similar demonstrations occur among the Palestinians inside, especially since the lack of adequate preparation and training for the reserve units may prompt the use of live ammunition, which leads to a comprehensive confrontation. within the green line areas.

Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea shone in blocking it, then got up quickly to stand in the face of Joe Willock (16), before shining again. He was blocked by a long shot by Frenchman Alain Saint-Maximin (17).

After he spent the 12th of Ramadan away from his family in the darkness of Israeli prisons , the feelings of the editor, Hamed Faisal Abdullah, did not change. He was living for the first time the rituals and days of the holy month of Ramadan free, among his family and loved ones. He still felt sadness and pain whenever he heard the sound of the Maghrib call to prayer announcing the breaking of the fast.

He says: "Since my liberation, I have not lived the atmosphere of Ramadan as I should. Sadness and pain accompany me, because my soul is still with my comrades in prisons, and in light of the absence and loss of my mother, who wished to see me in her arms, and rejoice in my presence beside her on all occasions, especially in the month of Ramadan that I spent." Behind bars amid oppression and suffering.

He added, "These days, I remember my mother who was waiting for me and counting the minutes and days to hug me, after she spent many years at the prison gates patiently and steadfastly preparing to receive me and my joy."

And he continues: "The shock and great tragedy was when my mother died during my arrest, after she defied all odds to visit me, which she considered a feast day, but she left, so I cried when she was released because of her absence, and in Ramadan I miss my parents, and there is no taste of joy and happiness, I cry and grieve because I miss her food that I love." And no one will ever replace me."

34 years ago, Hamid saw the light in Jenin . He received his education until he finished high school, but the occupation cut him off by arresting him for his role and participation in his resistance since the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada. The contents of the house, they arrested me and transferred me to the investigation center of Al-Jalama prison, and there the harsh investigation journey began.

And he continues: "My family lived through all the forms of suffering during my trial period, amid extension and postponement until the arbitrary verdict was issued, and I moved between all prisons and shared with my fellow prisoners stations of suffering, oppression and oppression, and paintings of challenge, steadfastness and heroism, especially with regard to transforming prisons into academies and universities."

Hamed still remembers the atmosphere of Ramadan in prisons, and says: "The prisoners were waiting for the blessed month hotter than embers throughout the year due to its religious specificity, and their keenness to approach the Lord of the Worlds with worship, and among our steps is raising our demands to the prison administration to improve meals, and to facilitate procedures for families to visit their children and reduce inspection During the religious rituals of Ramadan, but the administration was deliberately mistreating and abusing us to deprive us of the joy of Ramadan.

Editor Hamid tells that the administration was deliberately providing bad food to the prisoners, forcing them to rely on themselves to buy their needs from the cantina, especially in the month of Ramadan. And vegetables, flowers, potatoes and bananas, and the prisoners buy meat and chicken, all of which are expensive.”

And he adds: "During the month of Ramadan, a group of prisoners volunteered to supervise the preparation of meals and the Ramadan table throughout the month. Despite the lack of capabilities, the chefs of the prisoners were masterful in preparing meals of maqlouba, mansaf, rice, milk and others, in addition to some salads, lentils and vegetables. The prisoners also prepared sweets with capabilities." Limited items such as "Balouza", "Awamah" and "Kunafa", which tasted good.

The editor, Hamid, remembers that the prisoners used to spend their days during Ramadan organizing religious and cultural circles, praying, and memorizing the Qur’an until the time for breaking the fast.

He adds, "After the university Maghrib prayer, religious lessons are held, then circles of remembrance and memorization of the Qur'an, and then the cultural and entertainment sessions, which include competitions during which prizes are distributed to the prisoners."

As for the pre-dawn meal, the editor, Hamed, says that it used to start an hour before dawn, when the prisoners spend the night and recite the Holy Qur’an until the start of the pre-dawn meal. He adds: “Despite our joy in the holy month, the prison administration was deliberately creating problems and provoking the prisoners by storming the sections.” And the rooms, oppressing and abusing them, especially at night hours to make them miserable and to deprive them of religious rituals.

And he continues: "Every moment I remember these scenes and stories that we lived in the prisons of the occupation, which did not subdue our resolve, so we were brothers and cooperators in all issues and situations, and today I feel pain and oppression because there are still prisoners, and because of the current conditions in which they live in front of the injustice of the occupation."

He continues, "Although prison was a very difficult experience in my life, I completed my studies at the Hebrew University, majoring in political science, and completed a year until the occupation prevented me from completing my university career, but the prisoners turned prisons into academies despite the occupation's will."

Hamed lives in freedom, but he considers it an incomplete freedom as long as there are prisons, and he says: "I am very happy to be with my family in Ramadan, but in every sitting at the table I see pictures of the suffering and patience of my fellow prisoners, and pictures of my mother, so my pain increases, but I cling to hope and supplication."

And he adds, "Prisoners, especially in Ramadan, die in prison a thousand times a day, due to torture, harassment, continuous campaigns, deprivation of their rights and gains, and the absence of their families from them. Therefore, the most beautiful gift for our prisoners in Ramadan or on holidays is their freedom, breaking their chains, and saying goodbye to their families."
