Written by the captive: Muhammad Hamami

Today, the Palestinian territories are witnessing a state of discontent and anger, led by the Palestinian youth, who are losing hope in the future, a better tomorrow, and a stable and secure life, in light of the arrogance and violence of the occupation and its escalating military security arms with the orgy of settlers in Jerusalem and the West Bank in particular, not far from the siege of Gaza, and the situation is the same. He says: As long as the occupation continues and as long as the settlement engulfs the land, the future, and the prospects for a just solution, then there will be nothing left for us as young people but to think about escaping from the occupation and by every possible or impossible means without looking at the balance of power. .

Today, Israel operates in accordance with its security doctrine, on the basis of which all its security services, army, and state institutions are founded, and it only cares about consolidating and preserving the occupation. Therefore, the occupation army innovates for us every day a military operation with the names of what God has revealed in terms of authority, so the lawn mowing and the breakwater are two operations that have been introduced for a while in the West Bank and aim to weaken and amputate any struggle that may form against the occupation, which depends on the limited and quick operations of a number of its battalions that have become professional killers. And the assassination, and since the beginning of its two operations, it has killed more than 100 Palestinians under the pretext of security. The last of these operations was on October 1, 2022 AD in the city of Nablus, where a force from the special units of the occupation army surrounded and arrested one of the wanted persons, then withdrew, leaving behind the destruction as usual, and days before that, they stormed the city of Jenin and its camp, which resulted in four martyrs and dozens of injuries, and after that it withdrew to leave behind the smell of sadness. Destruction is in the air.

Israel's policy in the West Bank is nothing but a guarantee card for the continuity of its existence, which depends mainly on security and faithful faith, in which the danger is determined according to the degree of threat to the Israeli presence, and according to the capabilities, capabilities, and military strength of the opponent. Therefore, the Israeli security compass turned towards the danger represented by the Iranian nuclear file and its axis. The regional situation after the Arab Spring in 2011 AD, and the situation changed radically, and other dangers emerged represented by radical Islamic organizations that float to the surface at times and fade at others, and the collapse of some armies and regimes in the region, which in the past posed a real security threat, so that Iran’s nuclear file and its regional ambitions became the common Arab-Israeli danger. . Therefore, Israel sought to "sell" its relations with (moderate) Arab countries, using these fears and regional conditions, in an attempt to assume the role of policeman in the region in light of the noticeable absence of the American administration in the Middle East region, and Israel succeeded in attracting some Gulf countries such as the Arab Emirates and Bahrain publicly. And Qatar and Oman in a non-public manner and out of flirtation with the state that is economically balanced and on an Arab-Islamic level, which is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The talk began to take place through Yair Lapid, the director of the Israeli government’s work, about the two-state solution and other proposed solutions, such as the “Raymon” airport for Palestinian use, and facilities in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, among others. One of the proposals that did not leave the offices, and all of this, is to establish relations and an alliance (security and military) with Saudi Arabia, which, if implemented, will lead to the daring of more Arab and Islamic countries to declare succession.

Within this framework, Israel sought to withdraw pretexts from Hezbollah after its threat to Israel if the gas was extracted from the disputed water borders before the demarcation of the borders, and it postponed the extraction of gas time after time until it reached an Israeli-Lebanese agreement, and thus it is working to give sedatives to the northern and southern fronts. , mowing the lawn and breaking waves in the West Bank until now.

Israel is a government and army that does not see any problem or harm in what settlers are doing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, due to the compatibility of visions, interests and goals between the government and the settlers who are the vanguard of the state and its spearhead and implementers of Zionist goals. And to achieve the government's policies and desires, including the constant pressure on the Palestinians to force them to voluntarily emigrate. The possibility of Israel exploiting the current regional and global circumstance and an auxiliary circumstance that it might create, such as directing a military strike against Iran or the outbreak of a third world war, and its evidence and indicators are numerous, such as the Russian-Ukrainian war and the escalating tension between China and the United States of America, to revive Plan D and start ethnic cleansing in the West Bank Just as it happened in the years 1947-1948 AD, and it is thus the core of the Israeli security doctrine, restoring one of its most important means, which is ethnic superstition, and introducing others.

Israel dealt with these emerging dangers by developing its pillars and security doctrine. After the 2006 Lebanon War, the pillar of defense was added alongside the previous pillars of the security doctrine, deterrence, warning, and decisiveness. It was added to it after the Arab Spring 2011, along with the strategic alliance with the United States, the alliance with the countries of the region, cyber, space and air. The sea, the land and the underground "tunnels", and succeeded in overcoming the danger of radical Islamic organizations at the level of the Syrian front in northern Israel and in southern Israel opposite Sinai and in Iran succeeded in targeting scientists, targeting nuclear facilities and recruiting agents to collect information, while it succeeded in selling some Gulf countries for the benefit of its goals and may exploit it to strike Iran militarily, using its airports, cut off the Iranian military supply lines to Hezbollah in Syria and hit the tunnels on the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Israel relied on drawing lessons and avoiding mistakes after every confrontation. Accordingly, it spent billions of dollars on defense systems and their development, developing systems to detect and destroy tunnels in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, in addition to developing the Iron Dome and Arrow systems as anti-surface missiles and others. In this regard, and also to train the ground forces and transfer the army from being the people’s army to a small, professional and specialized army. It succeeded to a large extent in all of the above except for the ground force. The ground army failed in the military operation “Protective Edge” in 2014 against the Gaza Strip, and after eight years From the preparation, training and planning that the army received, which followed the Second Lebanon War in 2006 AD, with a clear difference in numbers, equipment, strength, and capabilities between Hezbollah and the resistance factions in Gaza, with superiority in favor of the party.

In conclusion, Israel interacts with all changes and developments in the region and the world on the basis that they are security threats to its state, which always pushes it to develop its tools and means to confront these changes and to carry out developments on the Israeli security doctrine, one of which is the development of a pillar that states sell for the benefit of its security. This is confirmed by Israel expanding its relations with Arab and Islamic countries outside the region, east and west, in order to confine the conflict to the Palestinian and not the Arab-Islamic framework, and thus Israel singles out the Palestinian people and the Palestinian cause, which is confirmed by all military measures and operations today against the Palestinian people and the resistance of its people, and towards more He sowed the seeds of a future intifada for the Palestinian people, and it is the seed whose harvest time has come for a new, third Palestinian intifada, the essence of which only its men know. Freedom for Palestine.

Nicosia - (AFP) - Saudi Arabia welcomed US President Joe Biden's announcement of the killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri by a drone, according to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia welcomes the announcement of the President of the United States, Joe Baden (...) the targeting and killing of the terrorist leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman Al-Zawahiri," the statement said.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry statement described al-Zawahiri as one of the "terror leaders who led the planning and implementation of abhorrent terrorist operations in the United States, Saudi Arabia and a number of other countries of the world," noting that these operations led to the killing of "thousands of innocent people of different nationalities and religions, including Saudi citizens."

Al-Zawahiri, who has been in hiding for more than ten years, was considered one of the masterminds of the September 11, 2011 attacks in the United States, which resulted in more than three thousand deaths.

Biden said he hoped the killing of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri would help the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks "turn the page".

In a televised speech, Biden addressed the relatives of the victims, saying, "I hope that this decisive action will allow them to turn the page" on these attacks, which were planned by Al-Qaeda and its leader at the time, Osama bin Laden, who was succeeded by Al-Zawahiri.

Washington - (AFP) - The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund , Kristalina Georgieva, considered in a speech she delivered Thursday in Washington that countries and institutions must move together in the face of the growing risks of recession in all parts of the world.
At the risk of seeing "this period of fragility become a dangerous new normal," Georgieva called for "more will to act now and together."

"There is an urgent need to achieve stability in the economy. (...) In the International Monetary Fund, we call for joint action" between countries with the aim of anticipating crises future.

On Tuesday, the foundation will publish its growth forecast for the coming year, which will be revised downward, Georgieva warned.

The reason is the multiplication of crises that were reinforced by the repercussions of the Russian war in Ukraine and the environmental disasters that struck several regions of the world this summer and led to the destabilization of a global economy that was mainly affected by the Covid-19 epidemic.

She added that the epidemic represented a "fundamental shift for the global economy," as it moved from a "relatively predictable world" to a "world exposed to shocks and greater uncertainty."

As a result, the Foundation now expects that a large number of countries will witness a decline for two consecutive quarters of gross domestic product, which indicates a recession between the end of this year and 2023.

It is a risk that is expected to affect "about a third of the global economy," while "for many families around the world, even if growth is positive, they will have the feeling that they are in stagnation due to the high cost of living," Georgieva added.

And this could be worse: "Uncertainty is very high in a context of war and pandemic. There could be other economic shocks."

Therefore, the most important priority is to prevent prices from continuing to rise, "because far from being fleeting, inflation takes hold."

Thus, central banks are struggling by raising interest rates in order to slow the economy, and failure to act now will require "higher and permanent rates, which will cause more damage to growth and jobs," as the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund warned.

Kristalina Georgieva joins US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in recognizing that lowering inflation "will not be easy and will not be painless in the short term."

However, we must beware of a monetary tightening policy that is "very strong and very fast", especially without coordination, as the Director-General of the International Monetary Fund warned, with the risks of "plunging many economies into a prolonged recession."

The rise of the dollar, as a result of raising the main interest rate of the Federal Reserve, complicates access to loans for many countries that borrow in this currency and whose debts have risen as a result of the rise in interest rates.

"More than a quarter of emerging countries have defaulted on their debts or are in difficulty, as well as more than 60 percent of low-income countries," Georgieva said.

And the danger: a debt crisis that is expanding to reach all of these countries.

"Major lenders like China or the private sector must take responsibility," she said.

It is expected that the economic ministers of the Group of Twenty will meet in Washington, along with central bank governors, on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund, next Wednesday and Thursday. They particularly want to make progress on issues of global taxation, regulation of the financial sector, and even financing of infrastructure.

And Georgieva added that if action in the short term was necessary, "it will not be sufficient to revive the global economy," calling for "transformative reforms" that the International Monetary Fund intends to support.

Among the points that must be paid attention to, according to the Director of the International Monetary Fund, "investment in health, education, and stronger safety nets are necessary," as well as digitization and the development of digital infrastructure.

And she concluded by saying, "We must respond to this period of instability, by stabilizing our economies in the face of an immediate crisis and building our stability in the face of future crises."

São Paulo (AFP) - Brazilian soccer legend Pele, who was hospitalized this week and is continuing treatment for a colon tumor, has developed a respiratory infection, but is in stable condition and "showing general improvement," according to the report. What his doctors revealed Friday.

The 82-year-old icon, who has been in fragile health in recent years, was hospitalized Tuesday in São Paulo for what doctors described as a "re-evaluation" of the chemotherapy he'd been undergoing since surgery to remove a colon polyp in September 2021.

A hospital statement said, "The medical team diagnosed him with a respiratory infection and is being treated with antibiotics."

"The patient's response was sufficient, and he remains in a regular room, not in intensive care," the statement added.

He continued, "He is stable and his health is improving in general. He will remain in the hospital in the coming days to continue his treatment."

Pele thanked the messages of support he received after entering the hospital.

And he posted on his Instagram account, showing his picture displayed on a lighted tower in Qatar, and on the last side of the phrase "We wish you a speedy recovery" in English.

And he added the picture with a comment, "Dear friends, I am in the hospital doing my monthly visit. It is always great to receive positive messages. Thank you Qatar for this gesture and everyone who sends positive feelings."

Ranked by many as the greatest footballer of all time, Pele has suffered from increasingly poor health in recent years. He has been undergoing regular chemotherapy treatments since he was diagnosed with colon cancer last year. He also underwent surgery to remove the tumor in September 2021, and spent a month in the hospital.

Pele is the only player in the history of football to win the World Cup three times (1958, 1962 and 1970) and score more than 1,000 goals before retiring in 1977.

Although Pele does not appear in public much, he is active on social media, as he recently wrote to the Brazilian national team, who wished him a speedy recovery, that he was counting on him to "bring this cup home" in the World Cup in Qatar.

Paris - (AFP) - Former French Formula One driver Patrick Tambay, who won two major prizes with Ferrari in the 1980s, has died at the age of 73, after a long illness, his family said Sunday.

Tambay, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease, defended the colors of several teams, most notably Theodore, McLaren and Renault as well.

However, his successes in the first category were achieved with Ferrari by winning two races, the first at the German Hockenheimring in 1982, and the second at the home circuit of the Italian hangar, Imola, the following year.

Tambay replaced his close friend, Canadian Jacques Villeneuve, who died after an accident during the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix trials, before Ferrari suffered a new setback several weeks later, with its second driver and then-leading Frenchman Didier Pironi having an accident in the German Grand Prix trials.

Tambay dedicated his victory in Hockenheim to the late Villeneuve, Pironi and Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the famous brand, to put his trust in him.

Tambay was the godfather of driver Gilles Villeneuve, son of Jacques, who won the world championship in 1997.

Paris-born Tambay began his Formula One career in 1997 at the British Grand Prix in the colors of the Hong Kong-based Theodore team.

He spent two years with McLaren without achieving any significant success, before leaving the tracks for a while, to return again with Theodore in 1981 and end the year with Ligier.

After his career with Ferrari, he moved to Renault, taking only three podium finishes in 1984 and 1985, and scoring two points with Lola-Haas in his final year in the top category (1986).

Tambay competed in 123 Grands Prix before retiring with a record that included five pole positions and a championship-best fourth-place finish in 1983.

After leaving Formula One, he turned to endurance racing, finishing third in the Dakar Rally in 1988 and 1989.
Known among his peers as the "Gentleman's Driver", he participated several times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race with a best fourth place finish in Jaguar colors in 1989.

He also achieved several successes in the American Can-Am sports car racing series, winning 12 races and the championship title two years in a row (1977 and 1978).

He maintained his relations with Formula One despite his retirement and worked as a commentator, and later moved to politics within the ranks of the conservative Republican Party.

LOS ANGELES - (AFP) - Generations of black directors shaped American cinema long before Denzel Washington or Spike Lee emerged. Oscars Los Angeles.

The exhibition "Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971" sheds light on important moments in the little-known history of black American cinema, especially the hundreds of independent feature films that were made until the sixties of the twentieth century with the participation of black American actors.

These works were called "racial films" and were aimed at an audience of African Americans in an era when racial segregation was still in force in movie theaters.

The exhibition, which features works largely ignored by major Hollywood studios and audiences of the era, begins with a recently rediscovered 1898 film reel showing two black vaudeville actors embracing.

Director Ava DuVernay said at a press conference, "Are you ready to hear this secret? That we blacks have always been present in American cinema from the beginning."

"We were present, not as caricatures or stereotypes, but as directors, producers, pioneers and enthusiastic viewers (...) and we should have shown that much earlier today," she added.

"Regeneration" is the second major temporary exhibition put on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which organizes the Academy Awards, which has come under fire in recent years for its lack of diversity.

Among the exhibits are the Oscar statuette won by Sidney Poitier in the category of Best Actor in 1964 for “Lilies of the Field”, and at that time he was the first African-American to win the prestigious cinematic award, and the tap shoes that were used by the dancing duo of the Ticholas Brothers, or even the costume worn by Sami Davis Jr. in "Porgy and Bess".

"I was surprised because I wasn't aware of the existence of these feature films before I started preparing" the 2016 retrospective and exploration of the Academy's archives, curator Doris Berger told AFP.

And she added, "I asked myself: + Why do we not know anything about this subject? We must know about it!" + She said it was "a really engaging film and it shows that African-American artists were taking on all kinds of roles and there were a lot of different stories."

Audiences can now view carefully restored scenes from works such as the Western musical "Harlem on the Prairie," the horror-comedy "Mr. Washington Goes to Town," the gangster feature film "Dark Manhattan" and more.

But many other "ethnic films" from which only their promotional posters remain are lost forever.
Doris Berger noted that this type of independent film used to assign actors the roles of "lawyers, doctors, nurses, and cowboys," while Hollywood only gave them supporting roles in which, for example, they were servants or nannies for rich white American families.

She saw this as "proof (that Hollywood) could have been more diverse".

The last section of the exhibition focuses on the rise of what is known as "blackplotation", a genre that emerged in the seventies and put African-American actors at the forefront, launched by black director Melvin Van Peebles, who died a few months before the exhibition, just like Sidney Poitier.

The exhibition is part of the Academy's efforts to counter criticism of its lack of diversity, embodied in the "Oscars Are Very White" campaign, which sparked in 2015 the poor presence of blacks in Oscar nominations.

In the wake of this trait, the Academy doubled the number of women and members of ethnic minorities in its ranks.

The benefits of "Regeneration" are not limited to educating the public and enabling them to view "ethnic films", but the exhibition's revelations also surprise some contemporary black directors.

Director Charles Burnett commented, "If I had known - about actresses and all that - I would have a completely different vision and approach to cinema."

Anne Duvernay stressed that this exhibition “should have taken place, and it was only delayed.” It is an important and necessary work.” “It shines a light on the generations of black artists we are following,” she added.

Washington - "Jerusalem" dot com - Saeed Erekat - The US Congress paved the way for President Joe Biden's administration to return to the "United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization - UNESCO", which could open the way for a possible political battle over the recognition of the United Nations cultural organization as a state Palestinian.

And the United States, during the administration of President Barack Obama, had cut funding for the organization, due to the organization’s decision to accept Palestine as an independent state in 2011, then the United States withdrew from UNESCO in 2019 under the administration of former US President Donald Trump, and the initial funding cut came as part of A law to cut off US support for UN agencies if they recognize a Palestinian state independent of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.

The comprehensive congressional bill passed by Congress on Thursday (22/12/2022) authorizes President Biden to pay hundreds of millions in overdue dues and rejoin the organization to which the United States was previously the largest donor, as Washington traditionally contributed $80 million annually, i.e. About 22 percent of the organization's budget.
