Oslo - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Secretary General of the Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions, Shaher Saad, called today, Tuesday, for the participants in the Norway Labor Confederation (LO) conference, to put pressure on the management of the government pension fund in Norway (the oil fund) to stop its dealings with Israeli settlements and withdraw of his investments.

Saad said in Palestine's speech to the conference, in the presence and participation of the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Norway, Marie Antoinette Seiden, that "the Norwegian Oil Fund is one of the most prominent dealers with Israeli settlements until its history, and this is something that needs to be corrected, by pressuring its management to reverse what it went to in continuing Dealing with those colonies, and withdrawing their investments from them.

Saad conveyed to the participants in the conference the greetings of the Palestinian working class, praising the great support enjoyed by Palestinian workers from the Norwegian Trade Union historically, led by the late Hans Christian, and the union's tremendous contributions in supporting the just Palestinian national struggle, especially its important initiative "Do not buy from the occupation." And his clear commitment to support the legitimate rights of the Palestinian Arab people, and his firm stand against the companies whose cooperation and commercial dealings with the Israeli colonies established over the occupied Palestinian Arab lands in 1967 were proven.

Saad said: "Palestine is still bleeding daily because of the continuation of the Israeli occupation, and the deprivation of our people from enjoying their right to self-determination and establishing their independent state like the rest of the peoples of the earth, in a miserable attempt by the Israeli occupation state to erase our people from existence, to monopolize their land and property, and to continue building colonies and demolishing More indigenous homes and displacement, with Jewish immigrants replacing them.

He pointed to the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation army against the workers, as it carries out daily clamoring military pursuits of them, during which live ammunition, police dogs and drones are used, and ends with fatal injuries to many of them, under the pretext that they cross the border without obtaining the necessary entry permits to Israel. And he does the same thing against the workers of the Gaza Strip, which has been besieged for more than 15 years, and the Palestinian fishermen were not spared from the bullets of the occupation army, so three of them were killed on March 7, 2021, during their fishing trip in the Khan Yunis sea, south of the Gaza Strip.

He added, "Our workers also suffer the scourge of daily and humiliating inspections at the Israeli military checkpoints built inside the occupied Palestinian Arab territories in 1967, and the brutal repression of Muslim and Christian worshipers in the city of Jerusalem."

He continued, addressing the participants in the conference: "You have witnessed, as the whole world has seen, how the soldiers of the Israeli occupation army killed the Palestinian journalist, Sherine Abu Aqleh, who was wearing the usual uniform for journalists and was equipped with all the signs and signals of the international press, including the jacket and helmet, which did not constitute an offense." Not only a journalist or a Palestinian citizen, but it constituted an assault on freedom of the press and freedom of opinion around the world.”

Saad explained that this situation, which is characterized by continuous escalation, is the result of the absence of a political horizon for the peace process, and as a result of the indolence of the major powers in sponsoring and paying attention to that process and pushing it forward, calling on the conference to exercise whatever influence and pressure it can, to put an end to the ongoing turmoil in Palestine, and push the two-state solution towards Move forward, and empower our people with their rights that have been recognized by international legitimacy since 1967 until now.

He said, "The world today, which deliberately forgets the suffering of the Palestinian people, is required to use a single ruler to measure the applicability of the rules of international law or not in all similar cases.

The conference demanded the recommendation to fully support the legitimate rights of our people, condemn the continuation of the Israeli occupation of our country, boycott and withdraw investments from Israeli settlements, and support the two-state solution.

TUNIS - (Xinhua) The head of the Independent High Authority for Elections in Tunisia, Farouk Bouaskar, announced today (Tuesday) that 262 candidates will run in the second round of the legislative elections at the beginning of next February to compete for 131 parliamentary seats.

Bouaskar said during a press conference held today that the elections for the second round of this electoral entitlement will be held in 131 constituencies, pointing out that the total number of voters registered to participate in the second round "will be more than 7 million voters, including those registered voluntarily and automatically."

He revealed that 23 candidates among the 262 competitors in the second round of the legislative elections belong to parties, according to authorizations issued by the legal representatives of their parties that the Elections Authority had received earlier.

He explained that the parties to which these candidates belong are the Tunisia Forward Movement (one candidate), the National Youth Movement of Tunisia (3 candidates), the People's Movement (12 candidates), and the Voice of the Republic party (7 candidates).

He added that the candidates running for the second round of the legislative elections are distributed between 34 women and 228 men, noting that 170 of them are employees from the public and private sectors, 50 are self-employed and businessmen, 5 are students, and 17 are retirees.

The first round of this election took place on December 17, in which only 23 candidates won a parliamentary seat, 20 of them in constituencies at home and 3 in constituencies abroad.

The first round of this election ended with a participation rate of 11.22 percent, according to what the head of the Independent High Authority for Elections in Tunisia announced, two days after the polls closed.

The majority of Tunisian parties and organizations unanimously agreed that this percentage is "weak" and reflects the Tunisian people's reluctance to hold elections, while voices were heard calling for the cancellation of the second round of legislative elections, and for going to a comprehensive national dialogue to get out of the current political crisis.

The Tunisian president rejects such calls, and he responded to them on the nineteenth of this month by accusing the opposition of fabricating crises, as he said..."This time, you did not find anything to focus on except for the participation rate in this first session to question the representation of the next Assembly of Representatives of the People, in While the participation rate is not only measured in the first round, but in the two rounds.”

(AFP) - The Michelin Guide announced Monday a surprising decision to downgrade Guy Savoie's restaurant, one of the world's most famous chefs, from three stars to two.
Since 2002, the 69-year-old Savoy has been awarded a three-star rating, the highest rating given by the guide, for his restaurant located in the "La Money de Paris" building in Paris, overlooking the Seine River.
The Savoie restaurant has a second branch at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
In November, the French chef's restaurant topped the "La List" list of the best restaurants in the world, for the sixth time.
In addition, the guide, in its latest version, expected to be announced next Monday, downgraded the rating of Chef Christopher Cotanso's restaurant in La Rochelle.
"These two restaurants are very special, so the decision to downgrade them was carefully studied before it was made, in addition to taking into account the visits made by specialists from the guide to the two restaurants throughout the year," Michelin guide director Gwendal Pollenec told AFP.
The reasons behind the decisions will not be publicly disclosed, but will only be communicated to the chefs involved.
"In such decisions, we do not only rely on the opinions of French specialists, but we also take into account what others say from other countries," Poulenc added.
Reducing the rating of restaurants usually raises widespread controversy, especially after the suicide of Bernard Loiseau, a close friend of Savoie, 20 years ago after his restaurant lost one star in the rating.
In its highly anticipated release Monday, the Michelin Guide downgraded some twenty French restaurants from two stars to one.
Due to the difficulties faced by restaurants due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since 2019 the Michelin Guide has not downgraded any restaurant.
However, the challenges continued for restaurants, which are now facing a shortage of employees and an increase in prices.
However, the Michelin Guide confirmed that downgrading ratings is necessary. "Yes, there are challenges, but everyone faces them," Polinek said.

JALALABAD, Afghanistan - (Xinhua) - Security forces stormed a hideout of the "Islamic State" terrorist organization in the Afghan city of Jalalabad, capital of eastern Nangarhar province, killing two and arresting another, according to a statement issued by the province's Department of Information and Culture on Monday. (Monday).

The statement said that the operation, which was carried out by personnel from the General Directorate of Intelligence or the country's counter-espionage agency in Police District 4 in Jalalabad city late on Sunday, resulted in the killing of two militants and the arrest of another.

The statement added that the security forces also found and seized a quantity of weapons and ammunition, including an AK-47 assault rifle, an M-16 assault rifle, and several landmines and explosive devices during the operation.

Prime Minister Dr. Muhammad Shtayyeh asserts that the occupation has no right to attack institutions and civil society organizations that operate within the Palestinian law. These statements came during a visit to the "Adameer" institution for the care of prisoners and human rights, which was closed by the occupation forces. He was accompanied on this visit by ambassadors and consuls of more than 16 countries and members of international human rights organizations working in our country. Addameer is one of several other institutions closed down by the occupation. The representative of the European Union, Sven Kun Burgsdorff, denounced this Israeli decision and the fierce attack launched by the Israeli forces, during which they seized property and files of these institutions and their activities.

This is a positive European position in terms of condemnation and rejection, but it is not sufficient and does not deter the occupation or stop these practices that are contrary to all laws and human rights.

On the other hand, the League of Arab States held a meeting at the level of foreign ministers, in which it affirmed support for Palestine's approach to obtain full membership in the United Nations and to hold another conference at the beginning of next year to support Jerusalem and reject the occupation's measures and Judaization efforts in Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank. In this context, it should be mentioned that the Egyptian delegation left the opening session in protest against the Libyan representative presiding over this session.

The issuance of these statements and positions was accompanied, and almost at the same time, by an Israeli approval of a plan to expand a settlement on various lands in Jerusalem, especially in the lands of Shuafat, Beit Hanina and Lifta. They called it the "Biden plan," and it was agreed upon during the former US president's visit to Israel.

All statements, whether international or Arab, remain without any actual results, and real field measures must be taken to stop the aggressions of the occupation, which do not stop except in the logic of force, and statements and words died years ago..!!

Washington - (dpa) - US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged the existence of errors in her previous assessments of the high inflation that the United States is currently witnessing.

"I think I was wrong then about the path inflation will take," Yellen told CNN on Tuesday, adding that she underestimated shocks to the economy from factors such as high energy prices and problems in the international supply chain.

And in May last year, Yellen said she did not expect inflation to become a problem. However, consumer prices rose in April by 8.3% compared to the same month last year.

And in a meeting with Yellen and Federal Reserve (Central Bank) Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden stressed that fighting inflation is his top priority.

Meanwhile, Biden insisted he would continue to respect the independence of the Federal Reserve. Powell, for whom tackling high inflation in the United States is a priority, tried to use tighter monetary policy to combat high inflation.

Powell's re-election was confirmed by a large majority in the Senate three weeks ago, after Biden nominated him for another four-year term as Federal Reserve chairman in November.

Powell has been leading the central bank of the world's largest economy since February 2018, when then-President Donald Trump nominated him for the position. Prior to that, Powell had been a member of the central bank's board since 2012.

The Brazilian Felipe was sent off in stoppage time after an intervention on Phil Foden, knowing that the latter was wearing a bandage on his head due to a previous intervention from the same player, which led to the players of the two teams entering into a fight in the final minutes of the match.
Atletico felt the City players were wasting time.

Spanish-French defender Aymeric Laporte replied, "I don't know if we were wasting time or if they got themselves into stupid clashes. We know who they are and what they did previously."
While Atletico captain Koke considered, "We receive a lot of criticism because of these things. So let's see what people think today. You saw what happened, so let's see your opinions."
City will meet in the semi-finals with another side from Madrid, this time Real, the record holder in the number of championship titles (13), while Liverpool will meet Villarreal in a purely English-Spanish match in the Golden Square.

In this article, I will try to shed light on the possibility of accepting the Public Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to conduct an international investigation into the case directly, or by assigning a specialized international committee to do so, all in light of the legal rules related to the court and its terms of reference contained in the texts The Statute of the International Criminal Court, and the well-known positions of the Court’s Prosecutor, Karim Khan, especially since about a year has passed since he assumed his job at the Court without moving a finger in the cases brought against Israel by the State of Palestine several years ago after the pre-trial chamber decided The Pre-trial Chamber, that the court has jurisdiction to consider all serious crimes committed in the three regions of Palestine, namely: the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, since early 2021.

What can we expect from the Public Prosecutor of the Court regarding the procedures related to the case of the assassination of martyr Sherine Abu Aqleh:

We will shed light on the procedures that can be expected from the Public Prosecutor of the Court in response to the request submitted by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs requesting the Public Prosecutor to start an investigation related to the murder of martyr Sherine Abu Aqleh.

Before starting to list what can be expected from the Public Prosecutor, we must refer to some legal provisions related to the court’s jurisdiction and how to act in such a situation, which are contained in the Court’s Statute and are beneficial to the Public Prosecutor and the Court, and these can be summarized as follows:

First: Perhaps the most important thing to start with is pointing out that Public Prosecutor Karim Khan assumed his job since the summer of last year 2021, as a public prosecutor of the Criminal Court, that is, since July 2021, but during that year he did not take any action in the cases submitted to the court. from the State of Palestine several years ago, rather ignoring it as if it did not exist, despite the fact that the former Public Prosecutor of the Court, Fatou Bensouda, had advanced quite a bit in those cases after obtaining the green light from the pre-trial circuit, as well as We referred to it above. There is no doubt that all of this can be considered an indication from which we can deduce what will be the position of Attorney General Karim Khan regarding the new request recently submitted by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Second: The preamble and first article of the Court’s statute provide for the following important legal rules:

1) The jurisdiction of the court is considered complementary to the jurisdiction of national courts.

2) The Court considers only the most serious crimes that are of international concern. (Articles 1 and 5 of the Basic Law)

3) The court only considers crimes attributed to natural persons and not to states or national, regional and international organizations. (Article 1 and Article 25 of the Statute of the Court)

4) The Court may decide that a case is inadmissible where a State is investigating or prosecuting the case, unless that State is genuinely unwilling or unable to undertake the investigation or prosecution. (paragraph 1 of Article 17)

5) The statute of the court stipulates that the trial does not take place without the presence of the accused in person before the court, and this may encourage Israel not to hand over the accused or the accused to the court, so that the trial does not take place. (Article 63 of the Basic Law).

Therefore, Israel can start a formal investigation claiming that it was late in the investigation until it is sure of the accuracy and validity of the facts and events, thus providing the public prosecutor with an argument and a reason to dismiss the case and refer the matter to Israel to start investigation work, even though the Israeli public prosecutor had officially announced Unwillingness to start an investigation, however, he had announced that he is refraining from the investigation at the present time, in implementation of a decision issued by the Israeli Supreme Court, as a way out to postpone the investigation, a position that is considered a circumvention of the provisions of the Statute of the Criminal Court, and an indication of cunning and deception.

Likewise, the public prosecutor can find other justifications, among those mentioned above, to refuse to open an investigation into the crime, for example, to consider that the killing of one citizen is not considered among the most serious crimes and the most threatening to international peace and security, according to the provisions of Articles 1 and 5 of the law. basic, mentioned above.

The public prosecutor can also claim that any case submitted to the court must include the name of the accused person, his rank, and the names of the official or officials who ordered him to commit the crime or incited him and helped him to commit it. Therefore, he can return the case to the Palestinian Authority, asking it to mention the aforementioned parties, claiming That he cannot investigate such a crime and that the State of Israel is competent to do so, bearing in mind that the State of Palestine, i.e. the state in whose territory the crime occurred, is primarily competent to conduct the investigation of this crime, but the State of Palestine can claim that its territory in which it occurred The acts constituting the crime, it is an occupied territory, and it is unable to conduct the investigation, so it requests that it be conducted by the Public Prosecutor or his representative, or the formation of an international committee to conduct it.

It should be noted here that the State of Palestine has the right to raise its inability to conduct a sound and reasonable investigation that would enable it to know the soldier who took it to know the soldier who fired the bullet that killed the martyr Sherine Abu Aqleh, because it has no control over the situation, and because Israel is an occupying country. The armed force controls the occupied territory and many elements of sovereignty in the territory, which makes the Palestinian Authority and the public prosecutor in Palestine unable to conduct an investigation with any Israeli soldier or employee, so it submits the aforementioned request to the court so that the public prosecutor takes the necessary measures for the investigation In the subject.

Conclusion:

For all the reasons mentioned above, I highly doubt that Attorney General Karim Khan will fulfill the Palestinian request. Rather, it is very likely that he will find one or more arguments to justify his refusal to answer the Palestinian request, and that he will transfer the request to Israel, asking it to conduct the investigation within a specified period ( two or three months, for example).

In addition, there is a possibility that the Palestinian Authority’s request would be rejected, claiming that the killing did not rise to its consideration as “one of the most serious crimes of international concern” as stipulated in Articles 1 and 5 of the Statute of the Court, which is the most likely possibility in my opinion, because of what is known The public prosecutor is biased in favor of some colonial countries, meaning that he is expected to act in accordance with the political pressure exerted on him by some major countries, such as the United States, or from some lobbies with international influence, and this is considered a great possibility.

Nablus - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ghassan Al-Katout - Today, Wednesday, settlers attacked agricultural land and stole agricultural equipment from it in the town of Burqa, northwest of Nablus.

حديث القدس

المراقب للأحداث في الاراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة، بل في دولة فلسطين الرازحة تحت الاحتلال، يرى بوضوح ان دولة الاحتلال تستهدف من بين ما تستهدفه في الجرائم التي ترتكبها ضد شعبنا وأرضه وممتلكاته ومقدساته، الأسرى المحررين. الى جانب الاسرى في داخل سجون الاحتلال التي هي عبارة عن سجون اكياس حجرية، أسوأ من سجن الباستيل في عصور الظلام.

فمن يتابع الاحداث والتطورات يلاحظ ان معظم الشهداء الذين استهدفتهم دولة الاحتلال ممثلة بقواتها العسكرية وقطعان المستوطنين هم من الاسرى المحررين.

فأمس على سبيل المثال استشهد شاب من يعبد متأثراً بجراحه التي أصيب بها قبل ايام لدى اقتحام قوات الاحتلال لبلدة يعبد، وهو الشهيد سميح عمارنة من الاسرى المحررين، كما استهدفت دولة الاحتلال قبل ايام معدودة ايضاً الصحفية وراسنة وهي ايضاً اسيرة محررة وكذلك الاسير المحرر ايمن محيسن من مخيم الدهيشة الى جانب الاسير المحرر داود الزبيدي من مخيم جنين، وغير الكثير من الاسرى المحررين الذين لا يتسع المجال لذكرهم في هذه العجالة.

وهذا يعني بكل وضوح ان جميع الاسرى المحررين هم هدف لقوات وقطعان المستوطنين، وكأن الأمر هو عبارة عن انتقام من هؤلاء الذين تم أسرهم ومن ثم تحررهم بعد ان امضوا سنوات في غياهب سجون الاحتلال.

وهذا الامر الذي يتطلب من الاسرى المحررين اتخاذ كافة اجراءات الحيطة والحذر، فقوات الاحتلال وقطعان المستوطنين وبالتعاون مع الجهات الامنية والمخابرات الاحتلالية تضعهم في مقدمة المستهدفين.

واذا ما أضفنا الى ذلك معانيات الاسرى داخل سجون الاحتلال جراء الاهمال الطبي وسوء الاحوال المعيشية داخل هذه السجون التي تفتقر لأبسط مقومات الحياة.

فهذه المعانيات وكذلك اعتداءات قوات السجون وعزل الاسرى وغيرها من الممارسات التي تتعارض مع القوانين والاعراف الدولية، ادت الى استشهاد عشرات الاسرى داخل وخارج السجون، خاصة الذين كانوا يعانون من امراض مزمنة وترفض سلطات الاحتلال تقديم العلاجات اللازمة لهم.

وأسطع دليل على ذلك رفض دولة الاحتلال اجراء عملية جراحية للأسيرة المصابة اسراء جعابيص، رغم التقارير الطبية التي تؤكد ان عدم اجراء عملية جراحية لها ستؤثر على حياتها وتعرضها للخطر.
فأي دولة هذه التي تستهدف الجرحى والمحررين والاسرى، ورغم ذلك فإن أسرانا ثابتين على مواقفهم، ولن تستطيع جميع اجراءات الاحتلال النيل من عزيمتهم وصمودهم وايمانهم بقضية شعبهم.

أبرزت الأيام الماضية التي ثار فيها الجدل وانشغل الرأي العام بإشاعات حول صحة الرئيس، مدى هشاشة النظام السياسي الفلسطيني وأزمته المركبة، وهي الحقيقة التي لا يمكن معالجتها بمجرد ظهور الرئيس في هذا الاجتماع أو ذاك. و إن دحض الإشاعات التي مررتها وسائل إعلام إسرائيلية حول وفاة الرئيس، إلا أنه لم يعالج تداعيات الجدل الناجم عن الأزمة الممتدة منذ أوسلو على الصعيدين الداخلي والسياسي.

إن اختزال النظام السياسي فقط بالرئيس، هو مؤشر خطير على ضعف وهشاشة النظام، وليس مؤشر لقوة الرئيس، ومدى قدرته على الإمساك بالحالة الفلسطينية المتهاوية، سيما في ظل انسداد أي أفق سياسي، وتراجع الاهتمام الدولي بالقضية الفلسطينية لدرجة ترك إسرائيل أن تطلق عنان سياستها العدوانية دون أية مساءلة جدية.

يبدو أن الحالة الفلسطينية لم تعد تحتمل ترف الاستمرار في مجرد التشخيص، ولا إضاعة المزيد من الوقت للاجتهاد الفكري في السيناريوهات المتوقعة. فنحن أمام احتمالين لا ثالث لهما، وهو أن نمتلك الشجاعة والإرادة الكافيتين لمعالجة أدران الأزمة ومسبباتها، أو نستسلم لهذه الأدران بأن تفتك بنا نحو مزيد من التفكك والضعف وحتى الاستجداء لتبرير الفشل دون بذل ما يكفي من الجهد لمعالجة أسبابه الحقيقية. إن انحراف النقاش العام وكأنه بين معسكرين متقابلين في مختلف القضايا، لا يعكس حقيقة ممكنات نهوض وأولويات الحالة الشعبية التي أبدعت بالتقاط ما يوحدها من قضايا جوهرية، إلا أن هذه الحالة، و كما كشفت الأزمة الأخيرة تعرضت لهزة وتراجع خطيرين، رغم استمرار قوات الاحتلال ومستوطنيه في استهداف حياة المواطنين وممتلكاتهم ومصادر رزقهم و قدرتهم على الصمود.

الأسئلة التي يجب أن توجه لطرفي الأزمة المهيمنيْن على المشهد الانقسامي بكل تداعياته هي: هل يستطيع أي طرف الانفراد بالمصير الوطني، وأن يحتكر القرار الوطني بهزيمة الطرف الآخر؟ بالتأكيد الجواب لا. وفي حال غاب الرئيس هل تعتقد حماس أنها تستطيع استكمال عملية اختطاف الشرعية التي للأسف وبفعل الانقسام أساساً، اختزلت بالرئيس وحده، فقط لمجرد أنها أي حماس، كانت قد حصلت عام 2006 على أغلبية مقاعد المجلس التشريعي، والذي للأسف تم حله كما تم إلغاء إعادة انتخابه، فأصبح أداة انقسام جديدة بدل أن يكون إحدى مرجعيات الوحدة والحوار الشعبي والبرلماني، ونحن بأمس الحاجة إليه؟ والجواب بالتأكيد أيضاً لا. والسؤال الأخير هل يعتقد من يقدمون أنفسهم لخلافة الرئيس أن بإمكانهم تورُّث الشرعية بمجرد أن يؤشر الرئيس نحو أحدهم، أو حتى لو توافقوا عليه، دون أن يتم ذلك عبر انتخابات عامة رئاسية وتشريعية أو من خلال توافق وطني شامل انتقالي لحين اجراء الانتخابات، وليس كامتداد تلقائي لحالة الانقسام؟ أيضاً الجواب ليس فقط لا، بل ربما تنتقل حالة الانقسام لمرحلة من الصراع متعدد الأوجه تكون فيه إسرائيل هي اللاعب الأكبر في تقرير شؤوننا الداخلية. وحتى لو افترضنا أن ذلك كله قد حصل بعكس ما نعتقد فهل هذا سيعالج جوهر المشكلة ببعديها السياسي الوطني في الصراع مع الاحتلال، والداخلي ومتطلبات اعادة بناء النظام السياسي على أسس ديمقراطية وجوهرها الانتصار لقضايا الناس و تعزيز قدرتهم على الصمود، واستنهاض كامل الطاقات الوطنية في معركة الحرية ؟!

مرة أخرى، إذا كان واقع الحال يشكل وصفات لاستمرار تغلغل الأدران، وليس تفتيتها أو استئصالها، فإن المنطق والمسؤولية يشيران إلى أن الخيارات المتاحة أمام الشعب الفلسطيني لكسر تلك الحلقة الجهنمية، تتمثل بأن نتوقع من الرئيس الذي نتمنى له كل الصحة والقوة للقيام بما هو مطلوب منه شخصياً، وفي مقدمة ذلك المبادرة لإنقاذ إرادة الفلسطينيين، وتوريثهم الحصانة الوطنية التي تُمكنهم من استعادة مصيرهم بأيديهم، وأن يتوافقوا تحت قيادته كرئيس لكل الشعب الفلسطيني ، وليس لمجرد فريق منه، على خطة طريق تنقله نحو بر الأمان في إطار الموسسات الوطنية الجامعة السياسية منها والحكومية، وذلك بالعودة للديمقراطية التوافقية، و لمبدأ الانتقال السلمي للسلطة عبر الانتخابات العامة الشاملة، والالتزام التام بنتائجها دون إقصاء أي طرف، وبما يُعيد للمؤسسات الوطنية هيبتها ومكانتها التمثيلية الجامعة، وبمشاركة الجميع بعيدًا عن الاقصاء والمحاصصة.

يبدو أن هذا الطريق ليس سالكاً بعد، بل يجري محاولة لوي عنقه من قبل الواهمين على طرفي الانقسام، الأمر الذي يفرض على كل الديمقراطيين والوطنيين التداعي من أجل التحضير لعقد مؤتمر وطني ينطلق من الإرادة الشعبية الشاملة، وأولويات الناس في مختلف تجمعات الشعب الفلسطيني، ليؤسس لمرحلة جديدة هدفها بناء كتلة شعبية، مرجعيتها الأساسية قضايا الإجماع الوطني والقانون الأساسي ومضمون وثيقة إعلان الاستقلال بكل عناوين العدالة الاجتماعية التقدمية التي تضمنتها، وصون الطابع الجبهوي والإئتلاف الشامل لمنظمة التحرير الفلسطينية باعتبارها الممثل الشرعي الوحيد لشعبنا وتطلعاته الوطنية وإنجازاته الديمقراطية، لتتحمل هذه الكتلة الشعبية مسؤوليتها نحو فتح الانسداد الذي أوجدته قوى الانقسام، وحماية النسيج المجتمعي والسلم الأهلي من خطر الانزلاق نحو العنف في معركة الصراع على السلطة. إن القدرة على المضي بهذا الطريق تستدعي من المستعدين للانخراط في هذا الجهد نبذ الفئوية والشخصانية، واحترام التنوع والتعددية، وبأن يتصدر هذه الرؤية قيادات شابة من مختلف الاتجاهات السياسية والقوى والفئات الاجتماعية و النقابات المهنية والحراكات الشعبية الناهضة، سيما من الشباب والنساء، وتلك المخلصة والمجربة، والقادرة على الإسهام في تحرير إرادة الناس.

لطالما جري الحديث عما هو مطلوب، ولكن السؤال الذي علينا أن نواجه أنفسنا به؛ لماذا لم يتحقق ذلك؟ وماهي العقبات التي حالت وتحول دون إطلاق هكذا عملية سياسية بنَّاءة، للانتقال من مجرد الكلام للعمل. هذا ما يجب أن يكون السؤال المركزي بهدف وضع إجابة ملموسة وعملية تفضي إلى بلورة خطة عمل جوهرها اعادة بناء الحركة الوطنية من أدنى إلى أعلى، دون إغفال دور الطليعة أو إدعاء عدم الحاجة له .قد يبدو ذلك عملية شاقة، فترميم حركة المجتمع واعادة بناء نظامه السياسي ليسا بالأمر السهل، سيما في ظل التحديات الكبرى التي تواجهنا وعلى رأسها اصرار حكومة الاحتلال والنظام السياسي في اسرائيل على طمس ومصادرة الحقوق الوطنية لشعبنا، إن لم يكن إلغاء الهوية الوطنية ذاتها، إلا أن عدم وضع كل المناكفات وحالة الشرذمة و التآكل الذاتي جانباً، سيلحق بقضية شعبنا أفدح الأضرار، والتي ستدفع الاجيال القادمة أثمانها ربما لعقود طويلة، والتاريخ حينها لن يرحم أحداً.

Rabat - (AFP) - A video clip documenting the killing of a cat by a dog at the instigation of its owner sparked a wave of resentment in Morocco on social media, with a demand for the girl's imprisonment.

The video shows a young woman inciting a dog to attack a small cat, which led to her death, according to local media, noting that the incident occurred in the city of Fez (north), and that the girl broadcast the tape on social media.

After that, the hashtag “imprisonment for a cat killer” spread on Twitter and Facebook during the past two days, and many bloggers expressed their condemnation of the “torture and killing of cats,” as well as the fact that this was photographed and the pictures broadcasted.

One blogger wrote that the scene was "indescribable", while another called for shaming the "ruthless" girl... If the cat is speechless, let's speak for it!

Bloggers also called on the authorities to intervene to open an investigation and "imprison the cat-killer".

The local "Madar 21" website said that citizens of the city of Fez "filed complaints against the young woman who assaulted the cat with the king's attorney."

Pictures or videos of similar separate incidents have previously sparked great discontent in Morocco over the past years.

Moroccan criminal law punishes with imprisonment between two and six months anyone who "unnecessarily kills or mutilates (...) any of the domesticated animals."

Las Vegas - (AFP) - When American actress and director Olivia Wilde received a mysterious envelope while she was onstage in Las Vegas, where she was talking about her next movie, many in the hall crowd thought it was nothing more than a staging of a prank.
However, what she received was actually legal documents sent by her former life partner, actor Jason Sudeikis.
And this happened during her presentation, Tuesday, at the "Cinema Con" forum held in Las Vegas, clips from her upcoming movie, "Don't Worry Darling," and the actress asked, upon seeing the envelope: "This is mine, isn't it?"
"It's very strange. I'm going to open it now," she added. An unknown person quietly placed the envelope marked "Personal and Confidential" on the stage.
"Is it a script? Well, okay. Thanks," the actress continued, looking at the contents of the envelope. Then she went on with her presentation without any mention of this envelope, and many thought it had to do with a new project thus handed over to Olivia Wilde.
But it emerged Wednesday that the envelope actually contained legal documents relating to the two children she has with ex-partner Jason Sudeikis, who stars in the hit TV comedy "Ted Lasso."
A source close to Jason Sudeikis told Agence France-Presse on Wednesday that "papers have been prepared related to the determination of a judicial authority in relation to the two children, Wilde and Sudeikis."
The same source explained that "Sodekis was not aware of the date and place of delivering this envelope because that was the sole responsibility of the concerned company and he would never have allowed it to deliver the documents in such an inappropriate manner."
Neither Olivia Wilde nor her lawyers have commented on what happened.
Olivia Wilde's current life partner, British singer and actor Harry Styles, stars in Don't Worry Darling, a psychological thriller based on The Truman Show and Inception.

Melbourne - (AFP) - A sneaker that American basketball star Michael Jordan used to wear and calls it "Mona Lisa sneakers" is one of the most prominent contents of an exhibition that opened Friday in Melbourne, and it also includes about 100 other pairs of rare sneakers.

The three-day exhibition is organized by the giant online auction house, eBay.

"Some of the rarest and most iconic sports shoes in the world," said eBay sports expert Alistair Law, during the opening of the exhibition in Brunswick, on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia.

Among the exhibits are the "Air Jordan" shoes that the star wore in 1985, and the expert described it as "Mona Lisa sports shoes", in addition to a similar pair that was sold in 2020 for $ 560,000.
The exhibition also includes Kanye West's "College Dropout Babistas" collection. A pair of the rapper's shoes sold for $1.8 million at auction last year.

Paris (AFP) - Ferrero, which was recently forced to recall large quantities of Kinder products, launched an online platform on Saturday to allow people who were victims of salmonella infections in Europe to report it in order to receive compensation.

"We deeply regret to learn that some people may have contracted the infection after consuming one of the Kinder products, which is currently being recalled," the company said in a statement.

In early April, Ferrero was forced to recall a batch of Kinder products manufactured in Belgium and sold in many European countries due to suspected salmonella contamination.

Until the middle of the same month, 150 cases of salmonella had been detected in nine European countries, including France, especially among children under the age of ten.
Salmonella is a bacterium that causes symptoms similar to what people with gastroenteritis suffer from diarrhea, stomach cramps, mild fever and even vomiting. No death has been recorded so far.
"If you believe that these symptoms have had a significant impact on your health, career or personal life, we invite you to fill out a form on our platform," Ferrero wrote in her statement.
"This will help identify people and personalize exchanges with families," a spokeswoman for the group told AFP. "In Britain, for example, Ferrero covered all medical costs," she added.
