A spokesman for the Ambulance and Emergency Services Union in the Red Crescent Society, Osama Sweiti, told Al-Quds.com, "About 100 ambulance officers and their families began a sit-in in front of the General Administration of the Red Crescent Society in the city of Al-Bireh, in conjunction with a hunger strike."

The participants in the sit-in chanted slogans and raised banners demanding their trade union rights, and calling on the management of the Red Crescent Society to respond to their demands, after which the sit-down entered the headquarters of the Red Crescent Society, according to Sweiti.

Sweiti noted that if the sit-in continues, a number of ambulance officers will join the sit-in, stressing at the same time that there are no signs of dialogue with the association's management so far.

According to Sweiti, the association's management does not want to give the rights of the workers in the union, refuses to discuss the demands, and did not abide by any of the terms of the agreement signed between us on May 24, 2022.

Sweiti said: "A dialogue session was held on the eighth of this month, and no solution was reached to the conflict and the dialogue failed, which forced us to return again to the escalatory steps that we started with sit-ins and hunger strikes today, and there will be harsh and painful next steps for the association's management, in case the association's management does not comply." our demands."

Sweiti said, "We will not return to dialogue except under escalation. We have tried dialogue without escalation, but the administration of Al-Hilal is dodging and wasting time, and it is working to manage the conflict, not to resolve it, and we have not yet agreed on any of the demands that were on the table during the dialogue session."

For his part, the official spokesman for the Palestine Red Crescent Society, Mamoun al-Abbasi, told Al-Quds.com that the dialogue sessions with the Ambulance and Emergency Services Union had failed, "because there were some issues that were agreed upon, and some controversial issues remained, and we did not reach a path." It is so deadlocked that these escalatory measures are announced, because there are matters that need broader discussion and sufficient and serious dialogue.

With regard to controversial issues, Al-Abbasi said: "We have employees who have been on the contract clause for four years. We acknowledge that they are proven by law, and we want to conduct an evaluation exam for their level of performance and nothing else. Whoever does not succeed in the exam, we will give him sufficient courses that have nothing to do with their contracts, but the union refuses." take the exam.”

Al-Abbasi continued, "One of the members of the union committed administrative transgressions during the past years that led to his dismissal from work, and he was given an opportunity and reinstated to his work after interventions, but he returned and committed the same previous mistakes, and an agreement was reached with the ambulance services union to transfer the administrative responsibility to him to the Hebron branch and not to the workplace." The current one is at the general headquarters of the Crescent Society, but he refuses to move it.

Al-Abbasi stressed that the rest of the issues raised during the dialogue do not have a major problem, such as: “Working hours in Ramadan, and it was suggested that they be transferred to vacations because the association’s management is suffering from a financial crisis.” There are also other issues that need discussion and can be resolved, “We We hope that matters will be resolved through dialogue without resorting to escalation. Protesting is the right of the Ambulance and Emergency Services Union, but issues can be resolved without resorting to escalatory steps."

The Ambulance and Emergency Services Syndicate is calling for the reopening of ambulance and emergency centers and the provision of ambulance vehicles as it was the case before 2018, as the Red Crescent Society administration, according to Osama Sweiti, a spokesman for the Syndicate of Ambulance and Emergency Services, has reduced the number of ambulance and emergency centers and ambulances from 91 to 23 vehicles. Ambulance at home.

The Ambulance and Emergency Services Syndicate is also calling for other issues such as: retirement files, grades and bonuses, the payment of dues to ambulance workers since 2018, the abolition of all repressive measures, the cancellation of leave cancellations, dismissals and mobility, and the confirmation of contract employees without resorting to holding an exam to practice a profession for them because that is according to Sweiti, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health and the management of the Crescent Society is an operating entity and its request is illegal.

According to the union, its protests also came after the Red Crescent Society refused to consider ambulance and emergency workers as a health sector, as well as the association dismissing 45 employees from the union during the month of May, and terminating their services, in addition to the fact that the society did not recognize the rights of ambulance and emergency workers. Like all working sectors in Palestine, these rights have not been disbursed since 2018 until now, as well as the association’s management changing the work system and forcing them to do so.

On the sixth of this month, the Ambulance and Emergency Services Syndicate postponed a central sit-in that was scheduled to be held in front of the Red Crescent Society’s headquarters in Al-Bireh, and confirmed the entry into a new dialogue session with the Society’s management, only one day after announcing its intention to return to the open sit-in after being accused of To manage the Red Crescent Society to renounce the agreement signed on the twenty-fourth of May 2022, and the expiration of the period specified for the implementation of the agreement, which is 45 days from the conclusion of the agreement.

Since yesterday, social networking sites in Jordan have witnessed widespread controversy and anger because of the novel, which many saw as "offending modesty" and "containing sexual overtones," according to their description.

"It was decided to withdraw the novel 'Mira' by the Jordanian writer Qassem Tawfiq, which was published by a Jordanian publishing house three years ago, and it was republished as part of the family library program for this year," Ahmed Rashid, the acting Secretary-General of the Ministry and Director of the Family Library Program, said in a statement.

He explained that ""the novel was withdrawn from the Reading for All exhibitions in the various distribution centers in the Kingdom as a result of remarks received from some visitors to the sales centers."

Mizan reported that the Supreme Court approved the appeal submitted by Saidi and Qabadlo "against the ruling issued (against them) by the Revolutionary Court."

Human rights organizations outside Iran reported that they had been sentenced to death.

For his part, Mizan Online did not specify the verdicts, but confirmed that the two defendants are facing charges that may lead to the death penalty in the Islamic Republic.

He explained that Qabadlo was being tried on charges of "corruption on earth" for "attacking policemen with a car, which led to the death of an officer and the wounding of five others," while Yassin was facing the charge of "moharebeh."

Human rights organizations outside Iran indicated that Seidi is accused by the judiciary of firing a gun during the protests.

The announcement of the retrial of Qabadlo and Yassin came after Mizan confirmed on Wednesday that the Supreme Court had ordered a similar procedure against Mahan Sadrat, who was sentenced to death.

Washington (AFP) - Bank of France Governor François Villeroi de Gallau called on central banks on Tuesday to coordinate their monetary policies because their actions affect other economies.

"There has to be a common predictability of policymaking. We will come to the closest solution to cooperation if we avoid big surprises among policymakers," de Gallo said in a speech at Columbia University in New York.

The French official recalled the statements of his US counterpart, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, who said in 2019 that "the pursuit of our national tasks in this new world requires that we understand the expected effects of this interdependence and incorporate them into our political decision-making."

Villeroi de Gallo also indicated that the European Central Bank should report "before the end of this year" the so-called "neutral" interest rates, that is, those that do not stimulate the economy and do not cause it to slow down, estimated at 2 percent.

"We will not stop raising rates here, but we will enter another part of the journey: a more flexible and perhaps slower part, which depends on a careful economic assessment in each meeting separately," he said.

Administrative detention is detention without charge or trial, and without allowing the detainee or his lawyer to inspect the evidence materials, in clear and explicit violation of the provisions of international humanitarian law, so that Israel is the only party in the world that practices this policy.

The occupation authorities and prison administrations claim that the administrative detainees have secret files that cannot be disclosed at all, so the detainee does not know the length of his sentence or the charge against him.

The administrative detainee is often subjected to the renewal of the detention period more than once for a period of three, six or eight months. Sometimes it may reach a full year, and in some cases it reached seven years, as in the case of the fighter Ali Al-Jamal.

Seoul (AFP) - US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his South Korean counterpart held talks in Seoul on Tuesday, pledging to step up military exercises and security cooperation as Seoul seeks reassurances in the face of North Korea's nuclear threats.

Seoul is keen to persuade a public increasingly wary of US "deterrence" commitments, a year after North Korea declared its nuclear power status "irreversible" and conducted banned weapons tests almost every month.

Austin and Lee Jong-sup agreed to "expand and enhance the level and scale" of the joint military exercises, in light of "increasing provocations" from Pyongyang, including recent drone incursions, they said in a statement.

Military tensions on the Korean Peninsula escalated sharply in 2022, with North Korea conducting a record number of weapons tests, including the launch of its most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile.

Pyongyang sent five marches across the border on December 26, the first such incident in five years, prompting Seoul to send warplanes.

Austin and Lee agreed to "expand and enhance the level and volume of joint exercises and exercises further this year," Lee said at a press briefing in Seoul.

This was deemed necessary given "changes in the security environment, including North Korea's attempts to upgrade its nuclear and missile programmes."

The two security allies will hold "theoretical exercises" in February to improve communication on "deterrence and response options" to Pyongyang's nuclear threats.

"We're going to do a number of theoretical exercises to check for consensus," Austin said at the press briefing.

Any joint US-South Korean military exercises would anger Pyongyang, which it considers a prelude to an invasion and has often responded with threats or drills for its forces.

Visiting Seoul for the third time since taking over as defense minister, Austin met with Lee and South Korean President Yoon Sok-yul.

This month, Yoon touched on the idea of acquiring nuclear weapons. It is the first time in decades that a South Korean president has put forth such an idea, reflecting growing domestic concern about the reliability of US security commitments.

However, the Yoon administration retracted those statements, stressing that South Korea supports global nuclear non-proliferation.

Austin reaffirmed Tuesday the US commitment to strengthening deterrence, saying that US military assets, especially nuclear forces, deter attacks on allies.

He said the commitments cover "all areas of US defense capabilities, including our conventional nuclear defense capabilities and missile defense."

The North Korean leader recently called for a "massive" increase in Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal, including mass production of tactical nuclear weapons and the development of new missiles for use in nuclear counter-strike.

Kim said his country should "largely build up military power" in 2023 in response to what he described as US and South Korean hostility.

Hong Min, of the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP that Austin's visit aims to "assuage growing concerns among South Korean citizens and politicians about whether the United States can be trusted to bolster deterrence against North Korean nuclear threats."

"With agreement on a detailed set of US assets to be deployed in joint exercises, Washington seems keen to dispel those concerns," he said.

GUANGZHOU (Xinhua) -- Sitting in her wheelchair, a 101-year-old COVID-19 patient thanked the medical staff for providing her with five days of medical care for her treatment of the disease.

Old Li, who lives in the Haizhou district of Guangzhou, capital of southern China's Guangdong Province, which has witnessed a resurgence of the disease in the past few weeks, told the medical staff: "Thank you very much, I did not expect to be discharged from the hospital so quickly."

"At that time, the old woman was very weak and unable to speak, but the doctors and nurses spoke to her in Cantonese to encourage her and calm her fears," Xing added.

Seeing that Old Li also had a weak cough and weak sputum secretion, the nurses helped her to turn and adjust her body position every one to two hours, gently patting her back so that she could expel the sputum smoothly. Meanwhile, the ICU nutrition team developed a special nutrition plan for the patient's specific condition.

After two days of intensive treatment, old Li's body temperature began to drop, her inflammatory indicators returned to normal, her physical and mental condition improved significantly, and her lung symptoms improved effectively. After expert evaluation, she was transferred from the intensive care unit to the cardiovascular rehabilitation ward for further treatment, where she felt better and received a negative DNA test result.

On November 26, Lee's condition improved a lot and she was able to leave the hospital after recovering.

"As most of the elderly COVID-19 patients have underlying health conditions, they are relatively difficult to treat," said Lao Yu, deputy chief physician of the hospital's cardiovascular medicine department. "It was remarkable that old Li was able to overcome virus and recovering. We sincerely wish her good health."

From November 14 to December 7, the hospital received 2,016 COVID-19 patients, of whom 1,048 were discharged.
"If you do it honestly, you will be able to treat more patients. For elderly patients with underlying health conditions, intervention in the intensive care unit means a better chance of survival," Xing said, adding that the hospital has allocated about 200 beds. In the intensive care unit to treat critically ill patients.

Jerusalem Hadith
The Israeli practices against our land and people are escalating dramatically at this stage. Thousands of Jews stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed Talmudic religious rituals in its courtyards. At the same time, the occupation forces prevented Muslim worshipers from entering it and tightened their measures against them, assaulting some of them and arresting a number of young men. .

At the same time, the siege of Shuafat camp continues for several days, and tens of thousands of its residents suffer from countless problems, whether in food supplies or health and educational necessities, and other things, which clearly constitute its practices of collective punishment that are rejected by all humanitarian and social laws.

Hundreds of Jews marched widely in the streets of Old Jerusalem, performing religious rituals and chants, and sometimes chanting against the Arabs in general and our people in particular, clear racist chants, and acting as if they were the only people present and rightful owners in this country, especially in the promised capital, and in it is the first of the two kisses and the third of the Two Holy Mosques, and it constitutes a jewel. Palestinian and a city for all Arabs and Muslims.

At this very time, and with the increase of these Israeli aggressions, all Palestinian forces and factions are meeting in Algeria to discuss the possibility of achieving national reconciliation and taking a unified national position to confront these practices that threaten our sanctities, our future and our land.

Our people are tired of this division, and we say frankly and clearly that they have also lost their confidence most of the time, in all the leaders and factions, and they see this division and polemics between some forces sometimes, while the occupation does everything it does and everyone sees it.

We have heard about positive signs after the end of the first session of these forces, but this is not enough, and what is required is that unity takes place on the ground and in practice, and this hateful division ends so that we all stand together to defend ourselves, our rights, our future and our land.

We hope that the meetings in the country of a million martyrs will be a strong glimmer of hope and that we will get rid of this division and the repetition of useless words and statements. And the coming hours will be the best evidence.. and we are waiting!!

Paris - (AFP) - Iranian security forces fired bullets and tear gas on Wednesday during demonstrations protesting the death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest, which were violently suppressed and, according to human rights organizations, resulted in more than 100 deaths, including children.

The 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, died on September 16, three days after she was arrested by the morality police in Tehran for violating the strict women's dress code in the Islamic Republic.

Her death led to a wave of protests in Iran and solidarity marches abroad.
