The anxiety that spreads and tyrannizes the soul is the one that cannot be erased by words, nor can it be mitigated by statements and declarations. It requires every author of a pen and opinion to provide a convincing answer to a pile of questions raised at the level of the whole society, about the entire Palestinian situation. It is a state, as everyone knows, that is not confined to a place or governed by an authority or organization, because the destinies of this people made it distributed nearly equally between those on the homeland and those in exile, near and far. These "halves" unite in a deep and inseparable identity that is Palestinian
The rule of fateful fulcrum - and this is by the grace of fate - is strongly present on the land of the homeland, and if we read it objectively and strip the reality of this rule and the effectiveness of its impact on every Palestinian wherever he is, we find that it needs many things to be accomplished in order for the Palestinians to continue Their difficult pursuit towards their one popular dream of freedom and independence
Time no longer requires a leader who leads a people with his symbolism, centrality, and what is described as his charisma. That was permissible to positively and negatively in a past time.. in which names circulated in history that did their work in Palestinian life since the emergence of the issue... Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, the owner of the religious turban and social status, Professor Ahmed Al-Shugairi, the jurist, diplomat, and eloquent preacher, then Yasser Arafat, whom dictionaries and libraries are not enough to describe what he enjoyed throughout his life at the head of the Palestinian situation, which was described as a revolution, then Mahmoud Abbas is the head of the situation that is described as power
Who is the person following these? What can we call it or name its condition? It is better for us as Palestinians, and it is even more logical, to exclude this question and replace it with another question that is more realistic and logical.
After the series of names that achieved a strong presence at the time without achieving the desired solution to the most complex issue in history, what do we need or what does the current situation that the Palestinian situation has reached, and it is not hidden from the most optimistic how difficult and even catastrophic it is. ‏
Do we need a person to save the situation by achieving solutions to the pile of major problems that have escalated in Palestinian life and withdrew frightening effects on the issue, its status, and the chances of resolving it to the satisfaction of its people, and is this person, as I know and all Palestinians know, no longer? Existing, but not yet born, and in our time called Hadith, it will not be born, most likely or with certainty.
As much as the story seems very complicated and the reality is very intractable, and it seems that the solution that we hope has not only gone away, but has ended, and in order not to fall into the danger of despair and despair, let’s say until further notice, we need to know what we should do. And we don't have to wait
First, we must accept a logical and fair fact, which is that we no longer need a leader, because what is more correct, more credible, and more realistic is that we need a political system that produces qualified leadership institutions, which in turn produce a president subject to constitutional restrictions that prevent him from monopolizing himself. By decision at any of the levels, and this requires that the political system be produced from the only reactor that gives true legitimacy, which is the people, and therefore one means that humanity has not invented a substitute for, which is elections, provided that it is not as it is now. We have selectivity that determines its conduct or not according to the calculations of the agendas, so it takes place easily and easily in a specific sector and is withheld from another sector.
The real, legitimate and effective system is to be produced by the ballot box, as it is the only popular means that gives legitimacy to the smallest charitable association in the smallest village to the parliamentary and presidential, and in the event of going to different options, there is a referendum that if passed decision or forbidding it, the people are responsible for their blessings or for not
This axiom that I am talking about seems impossible if there are influential people who oppose it and prevent it under various pretexts. But if there is a will, and it was found a lot in the life of this people, then it is the easiest possible and the most ready to be achieved. Didn’t we reach a year ago to a close from the ballot boxes, then we refrained from it a few days ago???
Let the Palestinians and the kitchens of the internal and external agendas stop talking about a Palestinian leadership based on individuals, and let the talk and effort turn towards the formula of a respectable system that provides the Palestinians with a situation befitting their qualifications, the strength of their presence, the fairness of their rights and the abundance of their creativity wherever they travel or settle, and this is even though It was an urgent Palestinian need and interest. It is a need, interest, and a guarantee for the stability of a region and life, as much as the Palestinian cause is an active reactor of events. Ask Israel, America, and the world about what happened in Ramadan and May of this year, which was known as the year of Ukraine, and what happened. around.

Tehran (AFP) - Iran criticized Britain's "non-constructive" role in the protests taking place in the Islamic Republic, a day after the Revolutionary Guards announced the arrest of a London-linked network that included dual nationals.

Since September 16, Iran has been witnessing protests following the death of the young woman, Mahsa Amini, three days after she was arrested by the morality police for not adhering to the strict rules of dress in the Islamic Republic.

Hundreds were killed during these protests, including dozens of members of the security forces. The judiciary also charged more than 2,000 people in connection with the protests, which the authorities consider a large part of as "riots".

And the Revolutionary Guards in Kerman province (south) announced the targeting of "a terrorist network operating for Britain and involved in provoking the recent riots," according to the official news agency "IRNA" reported on Sunday.

It indicated, quoting a statement by the Guard, that the network, which was known as "Zagres", was "directly run by elements from Britain and established a team of mercenaries hostile to the Islamic Revolution (...) who were involved in provoking riots and unrest."

The statement added that "its seven main members were arrested," including "people with dual nationality who were about to flee the country, but they fell into the hands of the security forces of the Revolutionary Guards in Kerman Province."

In response to a question about the arrests, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said, "Some countries, especially the country you mentioned, played a non-constructive role in connection with the current developments in Iran."

He added during his weekly press conference that the role of these countries "was provocative in inciting extremism and riots."

Iranian officials accuse the "enemies" of the Islamic Republic, led by the United States, of being involved in the "riots" with the aim of "destabilising". And the Iranian judiciary announced in November that 40 foreigners, some of them dual nationals, had been arrested on the sidelines of the protests, which entered their fourth month.

Kanaani explained that "during the recent riots, a number of European citizens were arrested, and they have well-known and clear files that were handed over to their countries."

He stressed that "the role of citizens of a number of countries, especially Western European countries, is quite clear in the recent riots."

Since before the start of the protests in mid-September, a number of foreign citizens, including dual nationals, have been arrested in Iran.

Western governments accuse Tehran of using these "hostages" in order to extract political concessions or the release of Iranian citizens detained abroad.

الرباط, (أ ف ب) -جدّد رئيس الاتحاد المغربي لكرة القدم فوزي لقجع فتح الباب أمام عودة لاعب الوسط الهجومي لنادي تشلسي الإنكليزي حكيم زيّاش إلى صفوف المنتخب للمشاركة في مونديال قطر 2022، موضحاً أنه سيعبّر عن هذه "القناعة" لمدرب أسود الأطلس الصربي وحيد خليلودجيتش.

وقال لقجع خلال اجتماع للمكتب التنفيذي للاتحاد إن "أبواب الفريق الوطني مفتوحة لكل اللاعبين المغاربة، مهما كان الاختلاف مع أي لاعب (...) لا يمكنني ولا أي شخص آخر أن يحرم لاعباً مغربياً من اللعب للفريق الوطني، سواء كان زيّاش أو (ظهير أياكس أمستردام الهولندي نصير) مزراوي أو أي لاعب آخر".
وأضاف "هذه المسألة غير قابلة للنقاش لا مع وحيد ولا مع غيره"، مؤكداً أنه سيعبّر له عن هذه "القناعة الشخصية بكل صراحة ووضوح"، عندما يعود من عطلته نهاية نيسان/أبريل.
غير أن لقجع شدد في الوقت نفسه على أن خليلودجيتش "في هذه اللحظة هو مدرب الفريق الوطني"، مستدركاً أن "العلاقة مع وحيد طبيعية (...) لكن المستقبل لا يعلمه إلا الله".

وشهدت علاقة خليلودجيتش بزياش (29 عاماً) توتراً أدى إلى استبعاده لأسباب انضباطية عن لائحة المنتخب في غالبية مباريات الدور الثاني المؤهل إلى مونديال قطر 2022، وكذلك نهائيات كأس أمم إفريقيا الأخيرة في الكاميرون، والتي ودّعها "أسود الأطلس" من ربع النهائي على يد مصر.
ورغم نجاح خليلودجيتش في قيادة المنتخب المغربي للتأهل إلى المونديال، فإنه يواجه انتقادات في المغرب حيال أسلوب اللعب وأداء المنتخب واستبعاد زيّاش ومزراوي عن المنتخب.

وسبق للقجع أن أعلن منتصف آذار/مارس توجيه دعوة أولية لزيّاش للعودة إلى المنتخب لخوض المباراتين الحاسمتين، اللتين تجاوز فيهما "أسود الأطلس" منتخب جمهورية الكونغو الديموقراطية، لكن زيّاش رفض تلبية تلك الدعوة.
ويخوض المنتخب المغربي نهائيات المونديال ضمن المجموعة السادسة بصحبة كرواتيا وصيفة بطل 2018 وبلجيكا الثالثة وكندا التي تخوض مشاركتها الأولى منذ 1986. وهي المشاركة السادسة للمنتخب المغربي في العرس الكروي أبرزها في 1986 عندما أصبحت أول منتخب إفريقي يبلغ الدور الثاني.

The Biden administration is deeply concerned that the deterioration of the security situation in the West Bank could lead to a serious crisis, including the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.

In turn, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf said in a press briefing on Wednesday, "The security conditions in the West Bank are of great concern to us. They concern Israel and the Palestinian Authority as well. We want to ensure that security cooperation is as strong and continuous as possible."

Lev, who was on a visit to the occupied West Bank and Israel last month, added, "There are other things that must be achieved, such as increasing economic aid to the Palestinians, to maintain security cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and that the economic situation can help improve security conditions."

The occupation authorities claim that there is more evidence of the involvement of members of the Palestinian security forces attacking their soldiers, as Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said in a statement on Wednesday, "The fact that one of the gunmen (who launched the attack on an Israeli patrol) was a member of the Palestinian Authority's intelligence It is considered an escalation of matters to another level, and therefore we will not hesitate to work in any place where the Palestinian Authority does not maintain order, and that Israel will forcefully target anyone who tries to harm it.

The majority in the Knesset, which will be discussed during the meeting.

According to the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz, Bennett spoke in recent days with all his partners, but no joint meeting was held, indicating that today's meeting will focus on the need to work on the stability of the coalition and prevent the defection or resignation of any other Knesset member from the coalition parties before resolving the majority problem.

While sources in the government coalition estimate that the opposition will find it difficult to find another dissident or resigned, and that the coalition can be expanded by finding dissidents from the opposition or obtaining the support of the Joint Arab List, the Likud and other opposition parties expect the government to fall soon.

Bennett preempted this by announcing his party's Knesset member, "Amichai Shikli," as a dissident, a step aimed at preventing the opposition from exploiting the possibility of submitting his resignation, thus losing the coalition other seats in the Knesset.

Washington, (AFP) - The US space agency " NASA " announced that it had succeeded in deflecting an asteroid, in a historic test of the human ability to prevent a celestial body from destroying life on Earth.

The agency's chief Bill Nelson said that the "Double Asteroid Reorientation Test" vehicle (DART), which is the size of a refrigerator, deliberately collided with the asteroid Dimorphos on September 26th and pushed it into a smaller, faster orbit around another, larger asteroid called Didymus.

"This is a defining moment in defending the planet and a defining moment for humanity," Nelson stressed, stressing that NASA "has proven that we are serious in our defense of the Earth."

Nelson explained that the double asteroid reorientation test "reduced the orbital period from 11 hours and 55 minutes to 11 hours and 23 minutes."

Dimorphos needed 11 hours and 55 minutes to make a complete orbit around Didymus.

He added, "We would have considered that we had achieved great success if the spacecraft was satisfied with reducing the orbital period by about ten minutes, but it reduced it by 32 minutes."

And Dimorphos, with a diameter of about 160 meters, poses no danger to Earth.

"It's like a movie script, but we're not in Hollywood," Nelson said. "This mission shows that NASA is trying to be ready for anything the universe might send us."

And if its goal was modest compared to the scenarios of a number of science fiction films such as "Armageddon", then this unprecedented test mission inaugurates the era of training in the way humanity defends itself if life on Earth is threatened by an asteroid in the future.

To verify that the asteroid's trajectory had changed, scientists needed to analyze data provided by telescopes on Earth.

These telescopes detected a change in the asteroid's flash when it passed in front of and behind the larger asteroid.

Immediately after the collision, the first scenes imaged by telescopes on Earth and the nano-satellite in the spacecraft showed a large cloud of dust around Dimorphos extending thousands of kilometers.

After that, the James Webb and Hubble telescopes, which are the most powerful for observing space, revealed detailed snapshots, especially showing the movement of the material that separated from the asteroid.

The spacecraft traveled for ten months from the time it lifted off from California and until it hit the asteroid.

To hit a target as small as Dimorphos, the final stage of the flight was fully automated, as the craft transformed into something like a self-guided missile.

All of this would make it possible to better understand the formation of Dimorphos, which represents a group of fairly common asteroids, and thus measure the exact effect that this technique, called kinetic forcing, could have on them.

Pictures taken of Medemorphos prior to the impact showed that it had a gray, rocky surface and was elliptical in shape.

Knowing these details is important in the event that humanity is forced in the future to collide with a celestial body approaching Earth.

The European "Hera" probe, scheduled to be launched in 2024, will closely monitor Dimorphos in 2026 to assess the consequences of the collision and calculate the asteroid's mass for the first time.

So far, about 30,000 asteroids of all sizes have been observed near Earth (they are called near-Earth objects, meaning that their orbit intersects with the orbit of the human planet). About 3,000 new species are found each year.

Very few of the billions of asteroids and comets in the solar system to which Earth belongs are considered a threat to our planet, and none of them will be so in the next 100 years.

According to scientists, all asteroids with a diameter of a kilometer or more are almost completely detected.

But they estimate that they have only detected about 40 percent of asteroids measuring 140 meters or more, and these have the potential to destroy an entire region.

Tulkarm - "Jerusalem" dot com - A doctor was injured, on Wednesday morning, as a result of an assault by settlers east of Tulkarm.

لندن (أ ف ب) -حققت الأسترالية آشلي بارتي المصنفة أولى عالمياً حلمها بتتويجها بلقب بطولة ويمبلدون، ثالثة البطولات الأربع الكبرى لكرة المضرب، للمرة الأولى في مسيرتها بفوزها على التشيكية كارولينا بليشكوفا الثالثة عشرة 6-3 و6-7 (4/7) و6-3 السبت في المباراة النهائية.

وهذا اللقب هو الثاني للأسترالية البالغة 25 عاماً في بطولات الغراند سلام، بعدما أحرزت في العام 2019 لقب بطولة فرنسا المفتوحة (رولان غاروس)، ما أتاح لها التربع على عرش التصنيف العالمي مذاك الحين.
وباتت بارتي أيضاً أول أسترالية تفوز ببطولة ويمبلدون منذ إيفون غولاغونغ عام 1980، ورابع لاعبة تحقق الثنائية في ويمبلدون بعدما سبق وأحرزت لقب فئة الناشئات عام 2011.\
وقبل 50 عاماً، فازت إيفون غولاغونغ كاولي ببطولة ويمبلدون. وتكريماً لها، ارتدت بارتي خلال المباراة النهائية السبت زياً مستوحى من الفستان الذي ارتدته مواطنتها في العام 1971.
وقالت بارتي: “إنه إنجاز لا يصدق، لقد استغرقت وقتًا طويلاً لأستوعب ما حدث، وأجرؤ على أن أحلم بالفوز باللقب وأقوله”، مضيفة “لم أنم كثيرًا الليلة الماضية، كنت أفكر في كل الاحتمالات، وكيف سأدخل المباراة اليوم”.
وتابعت “أتمنى أن أكون جعلت إيفون فخورة اليوم”.

وكانت هذه أول مرة تحسم فيها المباراة النهائية لبطولة ويمبلدون للسيدات بثلاث مجموعات منذ 2012 عندما تغلبت الأميركية سيرينا وليامس على البولندية أنييسكا رادفانسكا.
كما باتت بارتي أول لاعبة مصنفة أولى تحرز لقب البطولة منذ سيرينا عام 2016.

ولم يسبق للأسترالية أن ذهبت أبعد من الدور الرابع في البطولة الإنكليزية مشاركاتها الأربع السابقة، علما أن مشاركتها الخامسة جاءت بعد مشاركة مخيبة في رولان غاروس حيث اضطرت للانسحاب في الدور الثاني بسبب الإصابة.
وضربت بارتي بقوة في المجموعة الأولى وتقدمت 4-صفر، قبل أن تحسمها 6-3.

وواجهت بارتي مقاومة كبيرة في المجموعة الثانية من بليشكوفا التي استغلت الاخطاء التي ارتكبتها الاسترالية خصوصا في الارسال ففرضت التعادل حتى الشوط العاشر، لكن بارتي تقدمت 6-5 وحصلت على فرصة حسم المباراة والارسال بحوزتها لكن بليشكوفا فرضت التعادل مجددا وبالتالي شوطا فاصلا حسمته في صالحها 7-4.
واستعادت بارتي توازنها في المجموعة الثالثة الحاسمة وكسرت إرسال بليشكوفا في الشوط الثاني لتتقدم 2-صفر حتى حسمتها في صالحها 6-3. وعلقت بارتي على أدائها في المجموعة الثالثة قائلة “عادت بليشكوفا بقوة في المجموعة الثانية، وقلت في نفسي يجب أن أواصل الكفاح واعتقد ان هذا كان الاهم، ونجحت في حسم الأمور مبكرا”.

وانهمرت دموع بارتي عقب كسبها نقطة المباراة وانطلقت بسرعة نحو المدرجات وتسلقتها حتى وصلت إلى فريقها التدريبي على غرار ما فعل مواطنها بات كاش عندما فاز بلقب بطولة ويمبلدون للرجال في عام 1987.
قالت بارتي التي باتت ثالثة أسترالية تتوج بطلة لويمبلدون في فئة الفردي في العصر الحديث بعد كاولي ومارغاريت كورت (1970)): “هذا أمر لا يصدق. يجب أن أبدأ بكايا (كارولينا بليشكوفا). تهانينا على هذه البطولة الرائعة لك ولفريقك. أحب اختبار نفسي ضدك وأنا متأكدة من أننا سنخوض العديد من المباريات”.
واضافت “أود أن أشكر فريقي الذي ساعدني لحظة بلحظة منذ بداية هذا العام الصعب.
في المقابل، فشلت بليشكوفا للمرة الثانية في إحراز لقب كبير بعد خسارتها نهائي فلاشينغ ميدوز عام 2016 أمام الألمانية أنجيليك كيربر.

وبدا أن التشيكية افتقدت إلى سلاحها الفتاك الذي قادها إلى المباراة النهائية وهو إرسالها الذي خذلها اليوم.
وتأثرت بليشكوفا كثيرا عقب الخسارة وقالت وهي تمسح دموعها “أنا لا أبكي أبدًا، ولا أبكي أبدًا، والآن”.
واضافت “أريد أن أقول أن آش [بارتي] لعبت بطولة رائعة، لقد كافحت لجعل الأمر صعبًا عليها لكنها لعبت بشكل جيد جدًا لذا تهانينا لها”.

A young man (22 years old) was wounded by live bullets, this evening, Wednesday, during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in Husan village, west of Bethlehem .

The Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas and sound bombs at the citizens of Husan, during clashes that erupted in the "Al-Matina" area at the eastern entrance, and no injuries were reported.

The forces closed the eastern and western entrances to the village

Bethlehem - "Jerusalem" dot com - Najeeb Farraj - Residents of Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem, are surprised to wake up in a calm morning without a military incursion by the Israeli occupation soldiers, its special units and their police dogs. This is a day referred to as Lebanon, especially since most of the days The week witnessed dramatic events, with the continuation of military operations in the camp, which has an area of no more than one and a half square kilometers, and is home to about 10,000 refugees.

The camp is accustomed to confrontations in every military operation, as the "camp guards" as they are called by the residents, used to face any incursion, and there is always a price for such confrontations with martyrs, wounded and detainees.

The Israeli intelligence officers keep in contact with the young men and their families and threaten them, in practices aimed at revenge, and carried out in reality through storming the homes of these young men and deliberately blowing up their entrances, especially against the activists of the Popular Front.

The father of the young man, Muhammad al-Zaghari, told Al-Quds.com that the occupation forces stormed his house more than once, the last time 3 days ago, with the aim of harassing the family and destroying the furniture of the house, without arresting any of them, indicating that leaflets were distributed in Arabic warning against dealing with activists. Popular front.

During that operation, the occupation soldiers blew up the main entrance to the Ibdaa Foundation, and its director, Khaled Al-Saifi, said that those forces wreaked havoc on the headquarters, and this is not the first time that the institution has been targeted.

During the last ten days, the occupation forces deliberately injured about 10 young men in the feet, especially the knee area, and some of them suffer from lacerations in the bones and nerves, amid fears that they will suffer permanent disability, which happened to more than 60 injured people during the last five years.

Mahmoud Ayyad (27 years old), who was hit by a dumdum bullet in the left knee during clashes that took place in 2016, which led to bone laceration and nerve and artery injury as well. He underwent a number of surgeries that culminated in the amputation of his right leg from the knee. He said that the occupation soldiers And by orders of the Israeli intelligence officer, they deliberately hit the young men on their feet, with the aim of causing them disability, and those officers had previously threatened a number of young men with that.

Ayyad, who was previously arrested for a year and a half, two months prior to his injury, confirms that the occupation soldiers target the activists through the sights of their rifles, with the aim of accurately determining the location of the injury, in order to cause him a serious injury that ultimately leads to his disability.

Since 2015, 9 young men from the camp’s residents, including children and young men, have been killed amid a war of arrests that hardly stops, of whom 50 have been arrested since the beginning of this year. However, this did not prevent the young men from drawing murals in the camp and on its outskirts, including the main street, Jerusalem - Hebron, refers to the necessity of steadfastness, resistance, and adherence to the right of return, perhaps the most prominent of which is the one on which was written at the main entrance to the camp, “Behind the enemy everywhere,” which is the saying quoted from the fighter Wadih Haddad.

My acquaintance with Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi (may God have mercy on him) dates back to the mid-seventies, when he returned to Egypt from Doha after President Sadat released the Brotherhood’s men from prisons and detention centers, and allowed them to work again.
Our first meeting was in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, where tens of thousands of Islamic awakening youth gathered to pray behind Sheikh Al-Qaradawi for the Friday prayer in Abdeen Square. This "Al-Qaradawi Millionaire" was a scene that I had never seen before in my life, with this number, this crowd, this enthusiasm and fraternal spirit.
Our meetings were repeated after that with Sheikh Al-Qaradawi in America, where we used to call him at the annual conference of the Arab Muslim Youth League as one of the leaders of the Islamic movement and the imam of the school of moderation in Islamic jurisprudence, and as a guide for the generation of Islamic awakening.
I do not remember one of those annual conferences held in the West during the 1980s and 1990s without Sheikh Al-Qaradawi being one of the most prominent speakers in it, as he was the most realistic and knowledgeable about the priorities of Islamic work and the jurisprudence of minorities, and he was a religious and dynamic reference for the younger generation like us, regarding our need as a Muslim community In the West, and to convince young people that the countries of the West are today (a house of call) and not a (a house of war), as the number of Muslims who immigrated to it and gave birth to millions there.
In 1996 AD, the US authorities arrested Dr. Musa Abu Marzouk; Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, on charges of leading a terrorist movement, so I published a book in his defense, entitled (Musa Abu Marzouk: The Man, the Movement, and the Cause).
In the year 2001 AD, I came to Algeria on a special mission to see Sheikh Mahfouz al-Nahnah (may God have mercy on him), and to consult with him in the mediation efforts I was carrying out between the Libyan government and the Islamic Group (the opposition). At the time, Sheikh Al-Qaradawi was residing in Algeria, and it was an opportunity to seek his opinion on the same issue.. The Sheikh blessed and encouraged the effort, and he had previously met Gaddafi and advised him to release the youth of the Islamic Group, and called on him to work on absorbing them with wisdom and good preaching, through the International Islamic Call Society Which was headed by Sheikh Muhammad Ahmed Al-Sharif.
In 2004 AD, I left America for Algeria, when I met Sheikh Al-Qaradawi at a conference on Sheikh Abdul Hamid bin Badis (may God have mercy on him), which was held by the Algerian Muslim Scholars Association headed by Sheikh Abdul Rahman Shayban. Sheikh Al-Qaradawi was the guest of the meeting and the main speaker in it, and he came specially from Qatar to participate in it. It was an opportunity to talk to him and peace be upon him.
Sheikh Al-Qaradawi was known for his love of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and Palestine. He had previously visited the country in the summer of 1966 AD, and stayed there for 96 days, spending most of his days in Hebron, next to the Ibrahimi Mosque. He also toured many cities and camps in the West Bank, and made a special visit to Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
In May 2013 AD, Sheikh Al-Qaradawi came with a delegation from the International Union of Muslim Scholars to break the siege on the Gaza Strip, and congratulate Hamas and the Palestinian people for their steadfastness in the face of the Israeli aggression.
Brother Ismail Haniyeh resided; The head of the movement in the Gaza Strip, lunch for Sheikh al-Qaradawi and his accompanying delegation at his home, with the participation of many of the movement's leaders and staff. It was also an opportunity to talk and remember the days of America and Algeria.
Sheikh Al-Qaradawi's stances during the "Arab Spring revolutions" had raised a lot of rhetoric and innuendo, as some considered that his fatwas were "politicised", and that he contributed through those fatwas and statements on Al-Jazeera channel in fueling that wave of demonstrations that toppled the thrones of some tyrants and tyrants.
In fact, Sheikh Al-Qaradawi's status and status as head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars required him to say the "word of truth" out loud, and to pronounce it, and this angered some tyrannical regimes against him.
Despite all the "gossip" that was reported about Sheikh Al-Qaradawi; For him or against him, most of the scholars of the nation have unanimously agreed that he is the jurist whose absence is difficult, and that he is the imam of the school of moderation and moderation, and he is the one whose fatwa prohibited the prohibition of visiting Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque under occupation; Jogging and normalization with this usurping entity for many years.
The status of Sheikh Al-Qaradawi in the memory of the Palestinians as a supporter of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain high, and its sun does not set. In fact, as stated in the institution’s obituary statement for him, “The deceased was a teacher in dedicated work in support of the cause of Jerusalem and Palestine, and a model for the divine scholar who strives with everything possible, in defense of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque..
Nasser Sheikh supported the Palestinian right with all courage and solidity, so he deserved the title of Sheikh of Palestine, and he endured a lot for it, and he wrote the book (Jerusalem is the cause of every Muslim). He corresponded with kings and presidents, urging them to exert efforts in supporting Jerusalem and its people, and he was the initiator of launching charitable, media and mobilization campaigns in support of the Palestinian people and their rights, and he believed in unitary work among the components of the nation, to gather its efforts in support of Palestine.
Perhaps the words of Mr. Khaled Meshaal; The leader of Hamas is the bottom line: "Al-Qaradawi lived for the sake of the nation's causes, foremost of which is the Palestinian cause... Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa were present in the heart of our sheikh."
May God have mercy on the great scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, and honor him with the highest degrees of heaven, and reward him well for what he gave to the cause of Palestine, with Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa in its heart.

Perhaps the term Palestinian national project is the term most used in the Palestinian case and the most ambiguous at the same time. I start with the following question that we have daily, which is why the Palestinian revolution did not triumph like other revolutions, whether those that used armed resistance, popular resistance, peaceful resistance, or negotiation , or those that combined the various forms and methods of resistance? It is not an exaggeration to say that the sacrifices made by the Palestinian people since the first Zionist settlement was established on our land in the garment (Petah Tikva), meaning the key to hope in Hebrew in 1878, and until this moment, are sufficient to accomplish the national project, liberate Palestine and establish an advanced state by all standards, despite all the sacrifices. Did we thwart the Zionist project, and did the Palestinian national project succeed? Anyone who follows the Palestinian situation has no doubts that we have failed to achieve our national goals. Our land has been occupied since 1948, and the areas devoured by the Zionist colonial project are increasing daily, to the point where the Palestinians have isolated pockets here and there, and even these pockets are devoured by settlements and daily policies of demolition, displacement and forced displacement.
And although the Palestinian national project is based on the consensus of the various Palestinian national and Islamic factions, parties, and forces, and its main pillars, which are the ultimate goals of the national struggle, the means and actions of the national struggle, the legitimacy of the national representative, and the specifics of the Palestinian situation, and although the national project at its inception was aimed at To the defeat of the Zionist project, but today, after many developments, the national project has become ambiguous, and the pillars of consensus began to shake and collapse one after the other.
Just as our calamities, defeats, setbacks, and crises continue without stopping. The current Palestinian situation is complex, a state of fragmentation and division, wandering, uncertainty and confusion. We do not know precisely our destination. We walk steadily behind mirages and illusions. Futile negotiations, we are spinning in a vicious circle, we are the "victim", but the world holds us responsible for what is happening, as if we are the ones occupying the land of Israel, and we do not manage our situation well.
The national action strategy, the national project, political partnership, and other terms that are circulated in the political and media discourse, whether by the political class, or through the elite, although there is a minimum level of agreement on what it is, but there is no consensus among the Palestinian factions either. The tools and mechanisms involved within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization or outside it, but there is no complete consensus and agreement on the nature and scope of the national project. The most dangerous thing is that there is no Palestinian political document that enjoys a Palestinian national consensus that constitutes a reference, whether the PLO Charter, the Declaration of Independence, the Hamas Charter, or even the Palestinian Basic Law, the "interim constitution", which has led the factions to disagree on the nature of constants and goals, but rather And on the ways and means to reach the goals and achieve the national project.
The only opportunity in this absurd scene that we live in is for the Palestinian factions, along with the national personalities, academics, civil society institutions, and the private sector, with the tools and will they possess to rebuild the national project on the basis of national partnership, and this requires a practical initiative to present a comprehensive national vision. It is true that Every Palestinian faction has a system or a charter that regulates its internal life, but the absence of a national political document on which all Palestinians agree means that everyone will remain in a state of wandering and uncertainty, and walking towards the unknown. All liberation movements were based on a document, a program, or even a statement. in its struggle against colonialism. As for the current Palestinian situation, it is a unique one that requires everyone to agree on a national consensus program to get rid of the occupation.
Today, more than ever, we need to strengthen national unity on the basis of full political partnership. This requires, at the outset, holding a national rescue conference in which all Palestinian political and societal forces, all sectors and groups, including youth, women, people with disabilities, and civil society institutions, especially universities, participate. Professional and labor unions, the private sector, youth movements, the cultural and media field, and constitutional experts, taking into account the representation of Palestinians in all their places of residence, to come out with a unified national strategy that defines the features of the stage of national salvation, the process of liberation, coupled with the process of democratic transformation, in addition to laying the foundations and foundations for state institutions. Political, economic, social, cultural, security and military after liberation, the identity of the state and its political system, and agreement on the principles and foundations of the social contract that we want within the framework of the civil character.
One of the most important outputs of the National Salvation Conference is ending division, restoring national unity, agreeing on a national program, and rebuilding the institutions and frameworks of the Palestine Liberation Organization on unitary bases. Emancipation from the occupation, as for the second step, it is the agreement on the political program and the political partnership of the various Palestinian forces and factions, through a national strategy agreed upon by all Palestinians, and strengthening the steadfastness of the Palestinian citizens in the various Palestinian territories, especially in the villages and communities adjacent to the settlements and the apartheid wall. The third step is building and accumulating the steadfastness of the resistance factions and their presence in the field.
As for the second way out of the National Salvation Conference, it is the dissolution of all political, economic and security agreements with the occupying state. The signing of the "Oslo" agreement led to the destruction of Arab interdependence and coordination, and it also opened the way for unilateral bilateral solutions and unleashed the process of normalization between Israel and many Arab countries and made it possible The possibility of bypassing the Palestinians and their interests in bilateral agreements, as the official Arab question has become: What is the impediment to normalization, as long as the owners of the issue themselves went to settlement? This negative impact of the Oslo Accords on the official Arab mentality and the burden it removed from the shoulders of the regimes upon normalization had a catastrophic result by all standards. This led to a deepening of the state of rupture in the Arab ranks. On the Israeli level, the "Oslo" agreement formed the basic foundation for building a Middle Eastern regional system in which Israel plays the role of the major regional power dominating the region. As for the Palestinians, the agreement did not succeed in meeting the minimum rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people. Rather, it led to more deterioration in more than one field. The agreement resulted in the dissipation of the unity of the Palestinian people. Rather, the agreements signed with the occupying state granted it more mechanisms of colonial control over the keys to the Palestinian economic policies, commercial, financial, monetary and labor, which deprived the Palestinian economy of growth and development, and kept it restricted and dependent on the Israeli economy. Rather, the agreements prolong the life of the occupation, which deprives the Palestinians of The right to self-determination, in the absence of a political will to liberate themselves from this agreement.
As for the third way out, it is to hand over the keys of power to the United Nations and withdraw recognition from the occupying state, so that the international community then realizes that the Palestinians are not agents for anyone, and that they will not continue to exempt the international community from its responsibilities towards the Palestinian people based on international law and United Nations resolutions. There is a turning back on the part of the United States and the international community for the rights of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on its national soil.
Today we are at a crossroads, and our national cause and national project are at stake, rather in the wind, an impotent political leadership, a paralyzed PLO, bad internal Palestinian conditions, and a systematic Israeli policy based on confiscation, settlement, Judaization, siege, massacres, killings, and arrests, a war on people And trees and stones, in light of suspicious international silence. Very simply, time is not in our favour, drawing lessons and lessons and rebuilding the Palestinian national project as a liberation project that faces a colonial reality through a national rescue conference in which everyone participates. The national liberation battle needs a broad national front and a consensual program that everyone adheres to.
The Palestinian factions, but all Palestinians today are facing a historical responsibility to restore respect for the national cause, and to take the initiative and initiative, as it is not enough to criticize or hold others accountable, and everyone is required to present visions and practical alternatives, so the presence of the factions, civil society institutions, higher education institutions, and the private sector , youth movements, professional and labor unions, intellectuals, ... etc. in the national scene and its mass reach, its societal acceptance, its military and political strength, and its Arab, regional and international relations allow it to lead the scene and its leadership, and to rebuild and revive the national project on the basis of struggle and politics, taking into account regional changes And the international community, with a new discourse, based on the resolutions of international legitimacy, the right of peoples to self-determination, and the historical presence of the Palestinian people on their land without interruption. And on the strength and presence of resistance, and the use of power cards at appropriate times, and steadfastness in the face of pressure, and defining the camp of enemies and friends. All of them are sufficient to achieve the national goals and deliverance from the occupation. Returning to the slogan of liberation during the next stage, and not the slogan of establishing the state, the ceiling of liberation is much higher than the ceiling of the state.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The General Assembly of the Federation of Information Systems Companies - PITA, held its regular general meeting for the year 2022, in the presence of a group of federation companies in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The meeting was inaugurated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Tamer Baransi, under the supervision of Abdul Salam Shbeita on behalf of the Companies Controller - Ministry of Economy, the Union's legal advisor, lawyer Wael Abu Nema, and the Union's auditors (Ernst Young EY).

Jerusalem - "Jerusalem" dot com - On Monday morning, settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque , in the form of successive groups, amid calls to intensify the incursions during the coming hours and days on the occasion of the so-called "Jewish Throne Day".

Previously, large forces of the occupation police stormed the courtyards of the mosque to secure the settlers' incursions.

Dozens of stationed men and women gathered inside Al-Aqsa, where they shouted takbeers, amid attempts to confuse the settlers’ incursions.

The occupation forces deployed heavily inside the Old City since the early hours of dawn, in preparation for securing the settlers' incursions.

In recent days, various factions, forces, and activists have issued calls to gather in Al-Aqsa and Rabat within it, coinciding with calls for settlers to participate strongly in the incursions.

A translation of "Jerusalem" dot com - Israeli analyst and security expert Ron Ben-Yishai said, on Sunday, that the operation that took place yesterday at the Shuafat camp checkpoint, northeast of Jerusalem, was expected given the continuation of the current wave of attacks, to varying degrees, for 7 months, with the start of a wave of attacks. Operations in the cities of the Green Line, a whole period in which the Israeli army invested a lot in order to "curb terrorism", which reduced the death toll.

In an analytical report on the Hebrew website, Ynet, Ben Yishai said that the current wave has unique and even somewhat new characteristics, and therefore dealing with it requires a different method than what is known.

And he considered that the attack in Shuafat coincides with what could be called "an escalation, or a Tik Tok uprising" - as he said - noting that the attacks that have been carried out recently are by Palestinians under the age of thirty and are directed mainly against the Israeli army forces and points of contact.

He pointed out that the roots of the "escalation of Tik Tok" go back to before Operation "Guardian of the Walls / Sword of Jerusalem" in May 2021, which began with Palestinian youths getting used to uploading videos attacking settlers, especially in Jerusalem, and this phenomenon took a big step forward and became A global phenomenon, and a source of inspiration for other young people, even in different countries who are taking to the streets like Iran currently against the regimes, and even in Europe against the restrictions of Corona, and the communication networks have an effect, even in the Palestinian case, although many of them do not have an ideological basis or an organizational background .

And he considered that this is a result of the Palestinian Authority and even organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad losing patriarchal authority over these young men, and many of the shootings are due to the weapons spread among young people in the West Bank, such as the “Lions’ Den” group, who are famous on Tik Tok, and have turned into a source of inspiration. For young people to imitate them by the weapons they have, and upon arresting any of them, they admit that they are acting without any ideological, political or religious motive. According to his claim.

According to Israeli security sources, the "Lions' Den" group arouses the resentment of those with economic interests in Nablus, but even the Palestinian security services are powerless.

The Israeli security establishment refuses to define what is going on as an "uprising", and prefers to consider it a "wave or escalation", because the majority of the population does not participate in it, while the participants are young people who are frustrated and angry with Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and express this with attacks against the Israeli army and settlers. .

Why not carry out Operation Defensive Shield 2?

In the Israeli security system, they blame the Palestinian security services for what is happening, and for this reason the latter started to move recently, but its actions are not sufficient, and Hamas and Islamic Jihad are not leading the current wave, despite their contribution to it through the continuous “incitement” directed mainly from Gaza and Turkey. And through financial encouragement, pushing for documenting the attacks and uploading them on the Internet.

He points out that flooding the West Bank with regular soldiers and reservists will not reduce the motivation of Palestinian youth to work, on the contrary, which will increase friction and cause a greater number of Palestinian victims, which fuels the fire and prompts more of them to enter into an escalation to turn into an intifada, and this is in response to Who calls for Operation Defensive Shield 2, says Ben Yishai?

As for those who call for the cessation of the current operations, this will mean the exit of the gunmen to the places of concentration of the Israeli army, as happened yesterday evening, and therefore the most important and urgent question has become, what is the magical solution to that?!.

He explains that one of the reasons for not wanting Operation Defensive Wall 2 is that when the Israeli army entered the Palestinian territories in 2002, it stayed there for a long time and this allowed the Shin Bet to obtain intelligence information, which led to the decline of the second intifada, and this operation caused the cessation of military preparations. permanent war, and its results appeared in the 2006 Lebanon War.

He said: Therefore, it is desirable as much as possible to avoid a major operation, and what is more, that the Israeli army today does not lack intelligence information in the territories like in 2002 .. The Shin Bet and the Israeli army provide accurate and up-to-date intelligence every hour, but the problem today is the friction itself between the security forces and the Palestinians, and its results are evident not only in the attacks and confrontations with the army, but also in the many cases of throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at settlers.”

And he considered that to achieve the desired results, the closure must continue to be imposed on the Palestinian areas from which the wave of attacks originate, and this will lead to suffering among the Palestinians and may restrain these young men, and that countermeasures in Palestinian camps and cities must be reduced and focus only on "ticking bombs." To reduce direct friction and the number of Palestinian victims.

He says: "It is likely that the blockade and sudden roadblocks, and the improvement of the use of means of observation from the air and the ground, will not produce the desired results, then there will be no choice and there will be a need for a major operation that will last for months in the northern West Bank , allowing the army to collect a large part of The weapons that are in the centers of terrorism may claim many victims for both sides. According to his words and expression.

He adds, "This is not an intifada yet, but it must be understood that the wave of terrorism in TikTok differs in its characteristics and generators from previous waves of terrorism, and one must think of a different model to deal with it... We also need to acknowledge the fact that as long as the State of Israel insists on controlling 2.6 million Palestinians, these waves of terror will not only not stop, but will intensify.. It is unfortunate that the political instability that has lasted for nearly four years prevents even an organized discussion and staff work that might lead to a long-term settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today Next to Abu Mazen. as seal.
