Jakarta - (AFP) - Thousands of Indonesian and American soldiers will start Monday, two weeks of joint military exercises, which Washington described as aimed at strengthening "regional cooperation", amid escalating tensions with China.

The exercises are taking place on the Indonesian island of Sumatra and in the Riau Islands, an Indonesian province made up of small islands scattered near Singapore and Malaysia.

There are currently at least 4,000 American and Indonesian soldiers at the site, and they will be joined by Australian, Singaporean and Japanese forces. Japan is participating for the first time in the annual Super Garuda Shield exercise.

This comes at a time when US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi begins an Asian tour that could include Taiwan, which is expected to contribute to an escalation of tensions in relations between Beijing and Washington.

The United States and its Asian allies are increasingly concerned about China's growing presence in the Pacific. However, Washington confirmed that the maneuvers do not target any country, even if this year is gaining more importance than previous years.

"This is an exercise to build trust, cohesion, mutual understanding, capacity development and other related issues," Stephen Smith, commander of the US forces involved, told the press in Jakarta. "It is a military exercise and not a threat to anyone," he added.

The maneuvers will continue until August 14 and will include exercises for the infantry, navy and air force.

An Indonesian official announced that it will be opened with a ceremony attended by all participating countries on Wednesday.

Canada, France, India, Malaysia, South Korea, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Britain will participate as observers.

Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said today, Tuesday, that his forces will not allow "terrorism" to return to kill, raise its head again and disrupt the daily routine of life for Israelis.

Lapid's remarks came shortly after the stabbing attack in Jerusalem, which left a settler with minor injuries.

Lapid praised Moshe Ben-Ami, a photographer for Yedioth Ahronoth, "Ynet", who shot the bomber, wounding him, and considered that his intervention was firm and prevented harming more Israelis.

For his part, Omir Bar-Lev, Minister of Internal Security, described the operation as a dangerous event, and that thanks to Hankun Ben-Ami and his quick response, a more serious attack was prevented.

Bar Lev said: "This event will not prevent us from continuing our resolute fight against Palestinian terrorism and against the perpetrators of attacks and those who send them. The Israeli police is determined to thwart any such attempt and protect the security of Israeli citizens."

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Applied Research Institute "ARIJ" stated that the Israeli occupation approved, on the twenty-fourth of this month, a settlement plan bearing the number YOSH/ 3/ 1/ 234, which provides for the expansion of the "Dolev" settlement northwest Ramallah.

According to the institute, the new plan provides for the confiscation of 280,689 dunums of Palestinian lands to build 364 new settlement units in the settlement, on lands belonging to the towns of Ras Karkar and Deir Ibzi in Ramallah.

And he indicated that the plan targets basin No. 1 in the site known as "Madros" in the town of Ras Karkar, and basins No. 2, 4 and 7 in the areas known as "Ain Wadi al-Mughir", "Al-Dora" and "Al-Wajh al-Shami" (respectively) in the town Deir Ibzi, and that the issued plan aims to change the use of the targeted lands to third-class residential areas (according to the Israeli definition), public buildings and institutions, in addition to open spaces and tourism institutions, employment and engineering facilities, a gas station, a parking lot and internal roads.

The report indicated that the plan will be implemented on the western side of the settlement, on the open Palestinian lands that mediate the villages of Al-Janiyah, Ras Karkar, Deir Ibzi, and Kafr Nima, which will cut off the geographical contiguity between them, while creating an extension of the "Dolev" settlement from the western side, and thus confiscating the lands. and control it.

The institute indicated that in November 1992, the Israeli occupation authorities allocated an area of 3,228 dunums of Palestinian lands east of Dolev settlement as a “nature reserve” by virtue of Israeli Military Order No. 51/9 under the name “Nahal Dolev Delavim.” The order Which threatens the Palestinian villages that border the "Dolev" settlement from the eastern side, and in particular from the lands of the city of Ramallah (1058 dunums), Ain Qinya (1528 dunums), Al-Janiya (593 dunums), Al-Zaytouna (29 dunums), and Abu Straw (19.5 dunums).

ARIJ said that the aforementioned military order (9_51) seizes the Palestinian lands that mediate the settlements of "Dolev" and "Talmon", which threatens the danger that threatens this region, as the Israeli occupation authorities deliberately allocate vast areas of the Palestinian lands "as reserves natural landscape in the occupied West Bank, to prevent Palestinian urban expansion and its subsequent transformation into Israeli construction areas.

The curtain fell on the first round of the Italian League competition, after the end of the Juventus and Sassuolo match, which Juventus won in favor of (3-0).

And the “Opta” network, which specializes in football statistics, stated that the first round did not witness the end of any match in a draw, as all matches were won.

She added that this phenomenon was achieved 3 times by Calcio in the seasons (1933-1934), (1934-1935) and (1971-1972).

That is, the last time this happened was 50 years ago

It is worth noting that Napoli leads the table with 3 points, by goal difference from the rest of its competitors, Juventus, Milan, Atlanta, Fiorentina, Turin, Lazio, Inter Milan, Spezia and Roma.

Washington , (AFP) - The United States said Wednesday that Iran risks becoming a kind of "subordination" to Russia, in a warning that comes a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Tehran , where he participated in a Russian-Iranian-Turkish summit.

During the tripartite summit, whose main topic was the situation in Syria, Putin also discussed with his Iranian counterparts Ibrahim Raisi and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan the file of the war in Ukraine.

In Tehran, Putin also met the Islamic Republic's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who called for strengthening "long-term cooperation" between Iran and Russia, although Tehran abstained during a UN vote on a resolution condemning Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.

And on Wednesday, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said, "Iran has now united its fate with a small number of countries that initially dressed as neutral and ultimately supported President Putin in his war against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people."

He added that such behavior could make the Islamic Republic "relatively dependent on a country like Russia."

The United States recently published intelligence that Russian officials visited Iran at least twice this summer to inspect combat drones that Tehran intends to provide the Russian army with to enable it to counter Western equipment flowing into Ukraine.

According to Price, the safest solution for Iran lies in its return to the Vienna Agreement.

In 2015, Iran and the six major countries concluded an agreement in Vienna regarding its nuclear program, which allowed the lifting of sanctions that were imposed on it, in exchange for restricting its nuclear activities and ensuring the peacefulness of its program.

In April 2021, indirect negotiations began in Vienna, under the auspices of the European Union, between Tehran and Washington, aiming for the United States to return to the agreement, and for Iran to fully fulfill its obligations stipulated in it.

The US spokesman also called on Tehran to forge "new economic relations with other countries in the world."

Indirect negotiations between the United States and the Islamic Republic on the nuclear file are stuck, especially because of Tehran's insistence that Washington lift the sanctions imposed on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which President Joe Biden's administration has rejected so far.

And on Wednesday, CIA Director William Burns, the former diplomat who contributed to the conclusion of the Vienna agreement, said that the main reason for the current rapprochement between Russia and Iran is that both are subject to sanctions and "seek to break their political isolation."

But Burns stressed during the "Aspen Security Forum" in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado (west), that "if (Russia and Iran) need each other, they do not really trust each other, as they compete in the field of energy and they are rivals throughout history."

Jerusalem - "Al-Quds" dot com - Today, Thursday, the occupation forces leveled land south of Al-Aqsa Mosque .

According to local sources, the occupation forces, accompanied by the so-called nature authorities, stormed a land belonging to the Samreen family in the Wadi al-Rababa neighborhood in Silwan, and leveled it.

Kherson ( Ukraine ) - (AFP) - On the right bank of the Dnieper River, Ukrainian police armed with machine guns stop two men who arrived by boat in Kherson, which was liberated a month ago from the Russians, but the authorities are looking for their collaborators, past or present.

Ukrainian soldiers liberated Kherson on November 11, after eight months of its occupation by Russian forces, who withdrew to the left bank of the river.

The two men came to escape from one of the islands bordering the east bank, which is a gray area in which there are no Ukrainian forces and is controlled by Moscow de facto, although Russian soldiers are not seen there.
As soon as they arrived, Ukrainian policemen surprised them with orders: "Move! Hands up! Show your papers!"...

This scene reveals the climate of suspicion prevailing in Kherson, where the authorities still fear the presence of people who may have cooperated with the Russians or are still cooperating with them, and seek to expose them.

"Evacuations are permitted, but in the port (Kherson) they are lost," a Ukrainian policeman told AFP. "Here, this is illegal," he added.

He added that at the port "there are those responsible for these 'stabilization' measures, checking whether people are involved or not" in cooperation with Moscow.

But this adjustment failed quickly. Two rockets landed on a small island 200 meters from the river bank, sending out a plume of black smoke.

The Dnieper River became this new front line.

The two men and the police moved away to take shelter, while the investigation will resume with them after the return of calm.

After the liberation festivities, Kherson now lives under the tight watch of the police, who are heavily deployed and visible in the city.

From checkpoints at the city's entrances to patrols in the streets, policemen in blue uniforms check papers and ask questions, rummaging through car trunks for "collaborators".

"These people (collaborators) have been here for more than eight months, they worked for the Russian regime and now we have information and documents on each of them," Kherson region governor Yaroslav Yanushevich told AFP.

"Our police know everything about them and every one of them will be punished," Yanushevich added.

At a large crossroads at the end of a bridge leading to the industrial area and port, an elderly man approaches a police officer who is checking cars and passers-by. He asks him where he can go to fill two cans he is carrying with water.

The policeman replies suspiciously, "You say you live here and you don't know where the water point is?"

The man had to show a photo of his ID hidden in his pocket to prove his identity.

Inspections are also taking place at the train station, as some residents still evacuate the city with a daily train.

In a separate room, five police officers are sitting at several small tables, each questioning an evacuee sitting opposite, an AFP reporter witnessed.

On some streets of the city, the large propaganda posters of the occupier praising Russia have disappeared, replaced by new posters glorifying the liberation of Kherson. Besides, other posters appeared calling on the population to expose the collaborators of the Russian forces.

One of the posters read, "Provide information about traitors here." It has attached an app identifier or phone number.

And the governor of the region justifies this by saying, "This helps us to identify them, and to find out if they are still present in the lands that we control."
"Most of the information comes from the local population through simple conversations (...) We also analyze accounts on social networks and continue to monitor the Internet," Andrei Kovany, head of public relations in the Kherson region police, told AFP.

After the police, the Ukrainian security services take over the investigations.

Deputy Interior Minister Yevgen Yenin said more than 130 people had been arrested for cooperating with Russian forces in the Kherson region.

In front of one of the posters, a number of the city's residents affirmed their support for the principle of exposing the collaborators.

"It is always good to help find a collaborator or a traitor," Pavel, 40, who declined to reveal his surname, believes. "We must help our armed forces to arrest those who worked for Russia."

Since the city's liberation, Russian strikes have targeted energy infrastructure as well as homes, and civilians have been killed in these bombings.

"Our homes are being bombed at the moment. I think collaborators are helping (Russian forces) to target our homes," said Irina, 35.

On the other hand, Vyacheslav, 47, says that "all the collaborators fled to the other side" of the Dnieper River.

"We are all Ukrainian patriots here," the man asserts.

Gaza - "Jerusalem" dot com - Today, Thursday, Palestinian factions blessed the victory of the prisoner , Raed Rayan , after an agreement to suspend his hunger strike in exchange for not renewing his administrative detention, which ends in early November.

Hazem Qassem, Hamas spokesman, said in a press statement, "The prisoner Raed Rayan records a new victory with his will and determination to continue and confront the crime of administrative detention."

Seoul, (AFP) - North Korea fired two cruise missiles on Wednesday, Seoul's defense ministry said, marking its first weapons test in weeks.

"Early this morning, we discovered that North Korea fired two cruise missiles into the West Sea from Unchon in South Pyongan Province," a ministry official told AFP.

"The US and South Korean military authorities are analyzing detailed specifications such as the flight distance," he added.

North Korea has not tested a cruise missile, which is not banned under UN sanctions on the country, since January, Yonhap news agency reported.

The last time Pyongyang conducted a weapons test was on July 10, when it launched what appeared to be multiple rocket launchers.

North Korea has conducted a series of tests in violation of international sanctions since January, including the first launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile since 2017.

Officials in Washington and Seoul have also warned that the isolated regime is preparing to conduct its seventh nuclear test.

Earlier this week, the military forces of South Korea and the United States launched preliminary drills ahead of the start of their annual joint Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise.

Such maneuvers anger Pyongyang, which considers them an exercise in conquest.

Rio de Janeiro, 7-30-2022 (AFP) - Brazilian police freed a woman and her two children, who were suffering from advanced malnutrition, after being detained by her husband in appalling conditions for 17 years in Rio de Janeiro, according to a source in the city. Friday police.
The Rio de Janeiro military police, who arrested the patriarch, said in a statement that "the two young men, believed to be the children of the mother and her suspected husband, were bound and malnourished."

London - (AFP) - Oil prices fell by about five percent Monday, on the back of data showing that the Chinese economy is facing difficulties in light of the restrictions of Covid and the deterioration of the real estate sector.

The price of Brent North Sea crude fell by 4.8 percent to $93.46 a barrel, while the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude fell 4.5 percent to $87.99 a barrel.

Meanwhile, equity markets looked generally flat while the dollar traded mixed as investors welcomed the easing of inflation in the United States, although it was still at its highest level in decades.

"It was a disappointing start to the week in financial markets as investor optimism collided with the reality of China's economic data," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA.

China's central bank cut key interest rates in a surprise move on Monday, while a batch of data showed a decline in the world's second-largest economy.

Industrial production increased by 3.8 percent on an annual basis, but it declined compared to the 3.9 percent recorded in June, which is much lower than analysts' expectations.

Havana (AFP) - Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Friday asked his compatriots for "understanding" and "patience," saying that he had taken note of the existence of demonstrations in several regions protesting the power outages on the island, and that there was no "immediate" solution.

The president said during a regular session of the National Assembly dedicated to the "extremely complex situation" that Cuba is going through in terms of electricity production, that there are people "knocking on pots and chanting slogans against the leaders" as an expression of "their annoyance and lack of understanding," considering the matter legitimate "because they are living in a difficult situation."

"Some take advantage of this opportunity to chant slogans against the revolution," while "others participate in vandalism, stone-throwing, and window-smashing," he added.

He continued, "Those who act in this way (...) meet the aspirations of those who wish for a counter-revolution and what the wishes of those who keep us under siege," in a direct reference to the United States.

Dozens of residents of the Los Palacios region, in western Cuba, demonstrated in mid-July and knocked on pots to protest the power outages, according to what the authorities announced, in an unusual mobilization on the island. Videos spread on social media showing their anger.

The island is experiencing its worst economic crisis in three decades, with increasing shortages of food, medicine and fuel.

Written by: Mahmoud Abdel-Hadi
The Zionist invasion of the Jenin camp late last month, and the operation carried out by the martyr Khairy Alqam in response to it, raises the question again, about the feasibility of the sacrifices made by the Palestinian people and the suffering they incur at all levels and in various fields, at the hands of the Zionist occupation forces and its racist terrorist government, which Its daily arbitrary measures against the Palestinian people, who in the last two years have sacrificed about 530 martyrs, more than 23,000 wounded, and about 15,000 detainees, not to mention the series of demolishing homes, destroying buildings, uprooting olive trees, seizing lands, and continuing to establish settlements…, Why all these sacrifices? And how long will it continue if it is not in the interest of a specific national political project, behind which stands a unified authority capable of investing these sacrifices in order to achieve the hopes and aspirations of the Palestinian people?!

legitimate questions
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territory (OCHA); The crisis experienced by the Palestinian people inside occupied Palestine, saying, "The deepening crisis facing women, men, boys and girls in the Occupied Palestinian Territory continues, leaving many Palestinians struggling to live in dignity.

Behind this crisis is the Israeli military occupation, including the imposition of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, insufficient respect for international law, the continuation of the internal Palestinian political division, and the recurring cases of escalation of hostilities between Israel and Palestinian armed groups. Including the Palestinian people inside occupied Palestine for three reasons as follows:

Zionist occupation.
* Palestinian division.
* Combat operations.
What is important to us in this summary is to stand at the second and third causes of the crisis, due to their direct relationship with the Palestinian side, which bears full responsibility for them. Here we have the right to ask, aloud: How long will this division continue? And how long will the Palestinian leaders continue to tickle the people's emotions with slogans that are shattered day after day on the rock of this intractable division? What is the use of popular or regular resistance operations against the occupation in light of this division?

These and similar questions are legitimate questions, which every Palestinian must constantly ask himself and the circles surrounding him, in search of an answer that will lead to a serious move to end the division, which is no longer just a satisfactory political phenomenon in the Palestinian scene, but rather a major disaster that fuels the absurdity of the current Palestinian reality. and make the sacrifices of the Palestinian people meaningless, for the following main reasons:

The division of political power and political decision.
The multiplicity of liberation programs and their conflicts, at the expense of the joint national liberation program.
Weakening the Palestinian position against the Zionist entity.
Increase regional and international control over the Palestinian decision.
Wasting the suffering and sacrifices of the Palestinian people.
Prolonging the Palestinian cause and increasing its complications.
Facilitating the Zionist penetration of the Arab and Islamic world.
Enabling the Zionist entity to achieve its national goals at the expense of the Palestinian people.
Increase the suffering of the Palestinian people in the diaspora.
How can gains be made in favor of realizing the goals and aspirations of the Palestinian people, when the situation is as it is? Hence, the continuation of the situation in this way contradicts all the principles, foundations, and starting points necessary to resist the occupation, achieve the goals of the Palestinian people, and stop their suffering.

This calls on all groups of the Palestinian people who are affiliated with the resistance factions with their political and military arms, or who are not, to reconsider in an objective and abstract manner. In the current political reality of the Palestinian cause, away from emotion, passion and reactions, in its various organized and popular forums, to come up with new data to develop political awareness and its structures, in a way that helps rebuild the Palestinian political reality, in favor of the aspirations of the Palestinian people, away from the narrow factional aspirations. As for each side burying its head in its own sand, and continuing with its plans, programs and actions, thinking that it is the best possible thing; For, for my life, this is the greatest unfairness it has committed to the Palestinian people and their cause.

Reorder priorities
This miserable political situation in which the Palestinian cause is living due to the division calls on the Palestinian political street, with all its components and groups, to rearrange priorities, and to give the internal home the highest priority over the priority of confronting the occupation, which has not achieved anything of the aspirations of the Palestinian people so far, but rather increased their suffering and sacrifices.

Arranging the Palestinian internal house is a priority, which means ending division, unifying the Palestinian leadership, and agreeing on a joint national liberation program that achieves the goals and aspirations of the Palestinian people. As for continuing to confront the occupation as the situation is currently, it is jumping in the air without reckoning, and continuing to make sacrifices without any significant political value. Which is considered a major crime against the Palestinian people and their cause, for which all Palestinian factions bear responsibility.

The rearrangement of priorities requires postponing all types of military confrontation with the Zionist entity for a period of time, during which the people catch their breath, the factions work to restore their organizational structures, develop the capabilities of their cadres, and their leaders devote themselves to the comprehensive national dialogue to restore the inner house, and resolve all outstanding issues once and for all. irrevocable, including:

The unification of the Palestinian Authority, according to one of the political formulas that are agreed upon among the political forces, the most important of which is: holding free and fair democratic elections, which is the best option, but its timing is not appropriate, and its success factors are not available. Formation of a coalition authority, based on the relative weight of the Palestinian forces in the Palestinian street. These two formulas are considered the most suitable for the current Palestinian situation. As for the formula for forming an interim transitional authority, a broad-based government, or other formulas, it does not suit the current factional situation at this stage.
- Restructuring the Palestinian institutions of the new unified authority, which will represent the Palestinians all over the world, away from the existing structure, which increases the complexity of the Palestinian scene.
Preparing a joint national liberation project, to be voted on by all Palestinians at home and abroad, for which all capabilities are harnessed to achieve the aspirations of the Palestinian people, away from the two-state solution, which represents a waste of time, a holocaust of effort and capabilities, and only serves to strengthen the security of the Zionist entity on The long term and its long term identity as a Jewish and democratic state, according to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, in his press conference with the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, Benjamin Netanyahu, in the aftermath of the martyr Khairi Alqam operation.
Structuring the resistance wings of all factions to ensure their subordination to the new unified authority on the one hand, and preserving their strength and effectiveness in supporting the political decision and the national liberation project on the other hand.
Preparing the transitional constitution that helps the authority carry out its duties and achieve its goals, and preserves the rights of political forces and citizens and defines their duties.
Modifying the curricula of below-university education, in line with the national liberation program and the new phase in the life of the Palestinian cause.
Organizing the media situation, its policies and laws, in a manner appropriate to this stage.
The continuation of the situation as it is is not suitable for the current stage that the Palestinian issue is going through, and the mind of the Palestinian leadership will remain preoccupied with the details of the confrontation operations and the humanitarian, psychological and social effects resulting from them, and this is something that the Palestinian street with its various institutions and cadres should not be silent about any more.

Bangkok - (dpa) - It has long been known that cats are susceptible to infection with the Corona virus , like many other animals, but now fears have been raised that pet cats can infect their human owners with the virus, after conducting research on suspected transmission The virus from cats to humans in Thailand.

The researchers, who published a case report in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases in June, believe that it is possible for the Corona virus to be transmitted - most likely - from cats to humans.

In their report, the scientists talked about a case in Thailand, in which in August 2021 a veterinarian was infected with the Corona virus, while she was treating a cat in Songkhla, southern Thailand.

While making a swab from the nose, the cat sneezed towards the veterinarian, who was using a protective mask of the type "N95" and disposable gloves, but without using a face shield or eye protection glasses.

Genetic sequencing revealed that the viruses found in the cat, its owners and the vet were closely related.
However, scientists told the New York Times, the virus is transmitted more frequently from humans to cats than in the other direction.

Algeria - "Alquds" dot com - Today, Saturday, the Arab Parliament praised the Algeria Declaration and the response of the Palestinian factions to end the division and unify the Palestinian ranks, and the signing of the "Algeria Declaration" document as a positive and important step, and a step on the right path towards restoring Palestinian national unity and reunification. The Palestinian, and represents a card of strength for the Palestinian position, and removes the pretexts, plans and measures of the occupying power to start a serious and real political process that leads to ending the occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The Arab Parliament added, in a statement, that this declaration came in response to the efforts of Algeria, which succeeded in bringing points of view closer and bridging the rift between the Palestinian brothers, highly appreciating the efforts made by Algeria to sponsor the Palestinian national reconciliation file, in addition to the efforts of the Arab countries in this matter, especially the efforts of The Arab Republic of Egypt, and the establishment of a true partnership among the Palestinian people to reach the end of the era of division, and to achieve the supreme interests of the Palestinian people.

Damascus - (AFP) - A leader of the Islamic State blew himself up with an explosive belt, after being surrounded by the Syrian government forces in the south of the country, according to what the official media reported, quoting a security source, on Wednesday, in a rare operation of its kind.

The Syrian source announced, according to what was reported by the official news agency "SANA", that the "competent security authorities carried out a qualitative security operation" that led to "the killing of the terrorist Abu Salem al-Iraqi" in the western countryside of Daraa "after surrounding him and wounding him with several bullets before detonating himself with an explosive belt." .

Al-Iraqi, according to the security source, was the military leader of the extremist organization in southern Syria .

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the killing of the Iraqi on Tuesday, after he was surrounded by government forces and local gunmen. He said that he had been hiding in the region since 2018, and had participated in the assassinations and chaos in southern Syria from time to time.

Daraa governorate is the only area from which not all fighters of the opposition factions left after the government forces took control of it in 2018, according to a settlement agreement sponsored by Moscow, which kept the presence of opposition fighters who kept light weapons, while the regime forces did not spread throughout the governorate.

The presence of the organization was limited to a small pocket, through an extremist faction that pledged allegiance to it, before it was defeated from the region.

Since 2018, security chaos and unarmed violence have dominated the scene in Daraa governorate, which was the cradle of popular protests in 2011. Explosions and shootings have repeatedly occurred against government forces, or assassinations of loyalists or former opponents, and even civilians who worked for government institutions. The Islamic State adopted the implementation of several of them.

Since the announcement of the elimination of the extremist organization's "caliphate" in 2019, its fighters have mainly retreated to the desert, which extends between the governorates of Homs (central) and Deir ez-Zor (east), where government forces, with Russian air support, are engaged in clashes from time to time with the cells of the organization, causing deaths. From both sides.

A number of the organization's leaders and fighters are also hiding in different villages and regions.

The international coalition, led by Washington, is pursuing the leaders of the organization and carrying out operations to arrest them, whether in Deir ez-Zor or in other areas, most notably Idlib (northeast), where Washington announced in February the death of the former leader of the organization, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurashi, after he blew himself up during an operation launched by US special forces. .

Since 2011, Syria has been witnessing a bloody conflict that has killed about half a million people, caused massive destruction to infrastructure and productive sectors, and led to the displacement of millions of people inside and outside the country.

Khartoum - (AFP) - Sudan signed an agreement worth six billion dollars on Tuesday with a consortium led by the Abu Dhabi Ports Group and the Invictus Investment Company, to establish the new Abu Amama port, which includes an economic zone, on the Red Sea .

The Sudanese Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Jibril Ibrahim, said during the signing ceremony, "The cost of the project amounts to six billion dollars ... and it will give a strong impetus to the Sudanese economy and bring countless benefits to the country," according to the Sudan News Agency.

The port of Abu Amama, which will be built north of Port Sudan, through which the vast majority of the country's imports and oil exports from South Sudan pass, will include "an industrial area, a tourist area, an international airport ... and a power station, in addition to cultivating 400,000 acres" (about 162,000 hectares), according to Ibrahim. .

The Abu Dhabi Ports Group is mostly owned by the Holding Company (ADQ), an Abu Dhabi sovereign fund, while the Invictus Investment Company is run by Osama Dawood Abdul Latif, who is the Chairman of Dal Corporation, the largest private group in Sudan.

For its part, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported that the agreement "grants the alliance the rights to develop, manage and operate a port and the assets of an economic zone in Sudan."

The agreement comes a week after the ruling military in Sudan signed, on December 5, a framework agreement with civilian leaders that would extricate the country from the crisis it has been mired in since the army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s coup in October 2021 against the transitional authorities. Which was formed after the overthrow of Omar al-Bashir in 2019.

The Emirates News Agency described Sudan as a "major trading partner" of the United Arab Emirates, noting that UAE exports to Sudan amounted to $1.14 billion in 2020, while Sudan's exports to the UAE amounted to $1.86 billion in 2020.

London - (AFP) - The British government was accused Sunday of not dealing seriously with the heat wave , which is approaching a state of emergency, with climate forecasters warning of a threat to lives.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson did not attend a cabinet crisis meeting held at the government headquarters on Sunday, preferring to spend the day off at his summer residence in Checkers, where he is scheduled to hold a farewell party for his friends before leaving office in September.

Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab welcomed the possibility of the temperature exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in England for the first time.

"Obviously, what we're talking about is commonsense advice (such as) drinking fluids, sheltering from the sun during the hottest times and wearing sunscreen," Raab told Sky News on Sunday.

"We have to enjoy the sunshine and we have to be flexible enough during the pressures that it will cause," he added, insisting that there was no reason to close schools during the extreme temperatures on Monday and Tuesday.

His remarks raised eyebrows, as did Johnson's failure to attend the meeting held at the Prime Minister's Office to discuss the government's response to the heat wave.

Johnson stepped down as leader of the Conservative Party, partly due to his partying during lockdowns imposed to contain the spread of Covid.

Responding to Raab's remarks, Tracy Nichols, executive director of the College of Paramedics, told Sky: "It's not like a warm, fun day when we can put on sunscreen and go out and enjoy a swim and eat lunch outside."

"It is a dangerous heat wave that could later lead to death because it is very severe," she added.

"In this country, we are not prepared for this kind of heat," she added.

In contrast to Raab's calmness, after Saturday's meeting Minister Kate Malthouse warned transport services faced "significant disruptions" during the heatwave and advised working from home if possible.

London is expected to record the highest temperatures, and Mayor Sadiq Khan advised residents not to use public transport except when "absolutely necessary".

The readiness of ambulance services was raised, while schools in the south of England decided not to open their doors.

Police urged residents to stay away from waterways after a 16-year-old boy drowned in a canal in Manchester, northwest England, on Saturday.

Britain's government's meteorological agency issued its highest heat warning, warning of a "risk of death" and attributing the heatwave to human-caused climate change.

The maximum temperature recorded in Britain was 38.7 degrees Celsius in Cambridge, in eastern England, on July 25, 2019. However, the agency expected the temperature to exceed this limit this week.

Istanbul - (AFP) - Three new cargo ships loaded with grain left Ukrainian ports on Tuesday morning, heading for the humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea, according to the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul.

"The delegations of Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations approved the movement of these ships on Tuesday. The Russian delegation was informed of it," the center told AFP.

The center in Istanbul supervises Ukrainian grain exports under an international agreement signed last July, and Russia announced its temporary withdrawal from it a few days ago.

Russia, which announced on Friday that it had suspended its "participation" in the agreement, warned Monday of the "danger" of continuing navigation in the corridor without its consent.

Moscow, which condemned the strikes by the marchers on its fleet in Crimea, demanded that Ukraine "ensure security" in the sea lane.

Turkey and the United Nations are making efforts to remove Russian objections.

"The United Nations coordinator of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, Amir Abdullah, continues his talks with the countries parties to the agreement in order to resume their full participation in the center," the center said.

The Russian delegation announced on Saturday that it would no longer participate in the inspection of ships.

The center stated that despite the withdrawal of the Russian inspectors, 46 ships were inspected on Monday and can therefore cross the passage in the Red Sea in both directions.

The Turkish defense and foreign ministers held talks with their Russian counterparts, stressing the importance of this corridor for the transportation of grain.

The international agreement, which expires on November 19, aims to allow the export of Ukrainian grain to avoid a serious food crisis in Africa, in particular.

Nablus - "Jerusalem" dot com - Imad Saadeh - The National Bureau for Defending Land and Resisting Settlements confirmed that the transitional occupation government headed by "Lapid" is following in the footsteps of other previous governments in deepening and expanding settlement, and the Jerusalem governorate in particular is under fierce settlement attack. The occupation authorities had reservations about officially announcing it before the US President's recent visit to the region.

In its weekly report on settlement, the office stated that the settlement sub-committee of the Civil Administration in the occupation army had announced its approval of the establishment of 816 new settlement units after it revealed the deposit of two settlement plans within a series of new settlement projects, where the committee announced the creation of the master plan. Detailed No. 2/1/225 of the “Almon” settlement established on the lands of the village of Anata on an area of 100 dunums for the establishment of 91 new settlement units, public institutions and commercial areas The village of (Al-Eizariya) on an area of 6.2 dunums for the establishment of 16 new settlement units, and for the entry into force of the detailed structural plans No. 4/2/225 for the settlement of (Ma’ale Mikhmas) established on the lands of the village (Deir Dibwan) on an area of 150.6 dunums for the establishment of 114 new settlement units. On July 24, 2020, it was announced that the settlement outpost (Neve Erez) would be transformed into a permanent settlement neighborhood. And about the entry into force of the detailed structural plans No. 2/2/205 for the "Shilo" settlement to reside on the lands of the villages of Qaryut and Jalud (in the site known as (Al-Khafash) on an area of 358 dunums to establish 534 new settlement units. The project was announced on the third of July 2021 and the entry into force of the detailed structural plans No. 2/4/2/235 for the settlement of (Talmun) established on the lands of the village of (Ras Karkar) in the site known as (Ras Abu Zaytoun, Shu’bah Theeb) on an area of 104 dunums to establish 168 new settlement units. It was announced on the 5th of August 2019.

In a new settlement project within a scheme targeting the eastern region of Jerusalem, the occupation authorities seek to confiscate about 67,000 dunums east of the city, starting from the village of Mikhmas to the east of the town of Al-Sawahra, where Israeli sources revealed a huge settlement project, in the settlement of "Mishor Adumim" east of Jerusalem, And on the road between the city and Jericho to build a huge water park and a hotel with about 1,000 rooms. This huge complex is expected to be built over the next three years, and on the agenda: a hotel, a new water park with 21 slides, six swimming pools, a theme park, an 8,000-square-meter fashion complex, a 4,000-seat amphitheater, and a restaurant complex. An investment of about 1.5 billion shekels in the new project and belongs to the Kass Group, owned by Hanush Kass, which won the tender, at a cost of 60 million. The occupation authorities also plan to build a new bridge that starts from the “Ma’ale Adumim” settlement to the town of Al-Zaim; This is to separate the settlers from the Arab places in the region.

In Jerusalem Governorate, the Israeli District Committee for Planning and Building in occupied Jerusalem also approved a plan to build 1,446 settlement units on the lands of Sur Baher, for the benefit of the Lower Canal settlement between the settlements of Givat Hamtos and Har Homa, south of the city. The "district" approved the deposit of the settlement units plan in the Lower Canal settlement for objection for a period of 60 days. Once approved, it will be returned to the "district committee" for final approval. Regarding the "lower channel" settlement, it is an Israeli government plan that was prepared at the initiative of the Israel Land Authority, and promoted very quickly. It was put to the table of the Area Planning Committee in July 2021, after the formation of the Lapid-Bennett government , and it was quickly passed. As for the area of the land to be built on, it is about 186 dunums, and half of the planned area is located behind the Green Line, and about half of it is inside it. However, its strategic location between (Givat Hamatos) and (Har Homa) makes it particularly politically problematic, as it deals a blow to the possibility of Palestinian urban contiguity in Jerusalem, and is already closing off the last remaining corridor connecting Beit Safafa and Sharafat with the rest of Jerusalem.”

Also in Jerusalem, the "Bimkom" association revealed an instruction booklet in Arabic about the procedure for settling the Palestinian lands in the city, its consequences and its serious consequences, considering the settlement an existential threat to Jerusalemites, a procedure that pushes government settlement projects and paves the way for settlement associations in the city to expand their activities and seize more Palestinian lands and real estate. .

The Ministry of Justice had recently issued an announcement about the start of the settlement of large lands in the Palestinian neighborhood of Al-Thawri (Abu Tor), and in the area south of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and early on it was promoted to conduct a land settlement in Mount Scopus and Sheikh Jarrah - the French Hill, in the area that is planned In it to establish a new settlement under the name of "Givat Hashked", and in the area allocated for the expansion of the settlement of Ramot.

Everyone remembers how such operations ended in favor of the settlers and settlement associations without the knowledge of the Palestinian residents of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, when rights were registered in the land registry in the names of Jewish settlement associations who claimed ownership of lands before 1948, and additional land settlements were also promoted in Jabal Abu Ghneim settlement. Har Homa" next to the village of Sur Baher, and in the lands of the village of Shuafat, north of Jerusalem, in the religious Jewish settlement (Ramat Shlomo), and next to Jerusalem Airport (Atarot), where another new settlement is planned.

The Red Khan
At the same time, the issue of the displacement of the residents of Al-Khan Al-Ahmar, east of occupied Jerusalem, came to the fore once again, after a settlement organization requested the Israeli Supreme Court to issue an order to evacuate the Bedouin village. The failure of the government in any plan to evacuate the Palestinian village. The Israeli newspaper "The Jerusalem Post" quoted Attorney Avi Segal, who represents Regavim in this case, as saying: "The Supreme Court must stop this circus act and issue a final ruling setting a deadline for the eviction and demolition of the illegal compound." Since 2009, the "Regavim" settler organization has been calling for the eviction of Palestinians from Al-Khan Al-Ahmar and the demolition of their homes. In 2018, the Israeli Supreme Court gave the green light to demolish Khan al-Ahmar and evict the Palestinians from it. The former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, pledged to do so, but then retracted this promise, after the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court warned that the demolition homes can be considered a war crime.

The Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate is also under massive settlement attack after the occupation authorities announced the approval of an expansion settlement plan in the “Mefuhoron” settlement, which is built on the lands of the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate in the northern West Bank. The new detailed plan bears the number (2/1/212), on an area (258 dunums) of citizens' lands previously closed for military purposes.

The lands subject to the new planning are located in Financial Basin No. 2, part of the site of “Khirbet Rikubus from the lands of Beit Liqia and Beit Nuba, southwest of Ramallah.” This plan was approved at the end of June 2022, and aims to establish and legalize (251) settlement units, In addition to roads, institutions, a parking lot, a cemetery, etc. The settlement plan is still in the stage of deposit and it surrounds the settlement from its three sides (north, south and east) through the establishment of a settlement bloc in the shape of a crescent, and it will come on parts of agricultural lands of a plain nature that are grown with winter crops. What is remarkable about this plan is that it was issued by the so-called person in charge of issuing permits in the lands confiscated for military purposes, indicating that the lands subject to the new planning were seized for military purposes in accordance with Military Order No. (977) issued in 1982, but the occupation authorities worked to convert them for military purposes. purely settlement. On the twenty-fourth of this July, the occupation authorities approved a settlement plan to expand the “Dolev” settlement, northwest of Ramallah. The new plan includes the confiscation of about 280 dunums of Palestinian lands to build 364 new settlement units in the settlement, on lands belonging to the towns of Ras Karkar and Deir Ibzi in Ramallah. The scheme targets Basin No. 1 in the site known as “Madros” in the town of Ras Karkar, and Basins No. 2, 4 and 7 in the areas known as “Ain Wadi al-Mughayer”, “Al-Dora” and “Al-Wajh Al-Shami” (respectively) in the town of Deir. Ibzi, and it aims to change the use of the targeted lands to third-class residential areas (according to the Israeli definition).
On the other hand, the Israeli Supreme Court retracted a previous decision to evacuate the "Mitzpe Karamim" settlement outpost, due to its construction on private Palestinian land, northeast of Ramallah, and the demolition of buildings in this random outpost, within three years, and the Israeli Supreme Court is victorious in its decision. To the Israeli right and the settlement movement, which sought to push the judicial occupation authorities, to prevent the evacuation of the illegal outpost even in accordance with Israeli law, with the full support of Israeli government officials, including the current and former Ministers of Justice, Gideon Sa'ar and Ayelet Shaked. The settlement outpost includes at least 45 settlement units, inhabited by about 54 settler families, and built on private Palestinian land. The Israeli Minister of Security, Benny Gantz, had expressed his support for the settlers in their endeavor to overturn the Supreme Court's decision to demolish and evacuate buildings in this random outpost.

In a serious provocative step, the so-called "Central Region Commander" in the occupation army, Yehuda Fox, issued a military order to facilitate the sale of lands in the West Bank to Jewish settlers. The order allows Palestinians who want to sell their lands to settlers, to obtain a determination of inheritance from an Israeli Sharia court, instead of a Palestinian Sharia court. He claimed "Fox" that this is a protection for the Palestinian seller. The settlers demanded that the occupation army issue this military order, following the emergence of the need for a decision to restrict inheritance in land sales deals in order to prove ownership of the land. After the issuance of the military order, Knesset Member of the "Religious Zionism" bloc, Orit Struck, welcomed the issuance of the military order. It claimed that the decision represented a smart and effective response to the brutal war waged by the Palestinian Authority against Jewish land purchases.

Law, lawyers and justice are issues that constitute the strong and large base for the stability of society with all its rights and aspirations, and lawyers in particular are the cornerstone of all this.

Without going into details and details, lawyers have recently taken broad protest steps and decided in several cases to suspend work before all courts. As a result, many citizens are harmed and many important cases are stalled.

And with our utmost respect for the law and lawyers, we call for not disrupting the judiciary or suspending work before the courts, and we demand that we search for different other ways to achieve what those who suspend work or carry out various strikes demand, and we also call on all concerned parties to carry out their duties and responsibilities, so that the voice of justice remains. High and justice remains the master of the situation, and the interest of the country and the citizen remains above all interests and demands..!!

The crisis in crossing from Jordan to Palestine!!

During the first half of this month, about 155,000 people left Jordan for Palestine. The director of the King Hussein Bridge, Colonel Raafat al-Maaytah, expected that the number of departures would rise to 300,000 by the end of this month.

The Jordanian authorities have taken several steps to confront this difficult and tiring crisis for many people, the most prominent of which is the construction of tents equipped with air conditioners and mobile hospitals with ambulances, health services and electronic procedures to regulate the names and numbers of travelers and their travel times. These are positive measures, and all appreciation should be given to those who have taken them.

In this context, we wonder why new crossings are not opened to alleviate this crisis amid this suffocating and extremely hot weather.

Opening new corridors is not a difficult matter, but it requires an agreement between the concerned parties and taking the appropriate and necessary decision, especially since the Palestinian and Jordanian peoples mix intensely, and the interdependence between them is deeper than any other similar interdependence, as it was previously, and it is now and in the future as well.

Ukraine (Agencies) - Since the beginning of the war, it was clear that the Russian forces had a massive military superiority over their Ukrainian counterparts in various traditional warfare standards, but the drones provided Kiev with an opportunity to adjust this major imbalance in the balance of power.

However, the Russian army soon remedied this loophole, focusing on striking the Ukrainian drones, which were a headache for it.

In the latest press briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense said, on Saturday, that the number of Ukrainian drones destroyed by its forces has reached 1,600 since the outbreak of the war, according to the Russian “TASS” agency.

However, as with the rest of the information provided by the two parties to the conflict, it has not been confirmed by an independent party or recognized by the other party.

However, the American "National Interest" website, which specializes in defense and strategic affairs, says that the Ukrainian forces are already suffering from depletion of the stock of drones.

Last June, Kiev said it had received about 50 drones for the first time since the beginning of the war.

The site considered this development a sign of the decline of Ukraine's fleet of drones.

رام الله- “القدس”دوت كوم- أعلن الأمين العام لحزب الشعب الفلسطيني بسام الصالحي، مساء اليوم الأحد، انسحاب الوزير الممثل عن الحزب من الحكومة الفلسطينية، في وقت دعا فيه الحزب الحكومة الفلسطينية إلى تقديم استقالتها بعد إخفاقها في حماية الحريات العامة.

وقال الصالحي في مؤتمر صحافي عقده في مقر شبكة وطن الإعلامية بمدينة رام الله: “إن اللجنة المركزية لحزب الشعب اتخذت قراراً بالانسحاب من الحكومة، حيث سيقوم وزير العمل نصري أبو جيش بتقديم استقالته في جلسة الحكومة الأسبوعية يوم غد الإثنين”.

وأكد الصالحي أن اللجنة المركزية لحزب الشعب أخذت موقفًا بأنه “لا يمكن أن نستمر في الحكومة التي لديها مشكلة في حماية الحريات، وقد دعونا الحكومة بمجملها للاستقالة، لأن استقالة الحكومة يمكن أن تفسح المجال إلى لملمة الوضع الداخلي وكذلك الإفساح أمام لقاء عاجل لمعالجة الحالة الفلسطينية بما في ذلك المتسببين بالوضع الراهن، وكذلك استكمال مخرجات اجتماع الأمناء العامين، حتى نخرج الحالة من الوصع الذي نحن عليه”.

وأشار الصالحي إلى أن حزب الشعب كان يريد أن تجري الانتخابات، لكن مع الموقف الواضح والذي يتمسك به الحزب أن تجري الانتخابات مع القدس، لكنه كان لا بد من معالجة الوضع الداخلي الفلسطيني حتى لو لم تجر الانتخابات.

من جانب آخر، قال الصالحي: “هناك استنكار شعبي واسع لما جرى مع الناشط والمعارض السياسي نزار بنات، ومن الواضح أنه عكس أزمة أعمق ويجب أن تعالج بشكل كبير، وهو أمر لا مجال للالتاف عليه”.

وشدد الصالحي على ضرورة الإدانة الواضحة من المؤسسة الرسمية والحكومة لمقتل نزار بنات، وأن تكون لجنة التحقيق مستقلة، ونريد عدم تكرار هذا المسلك لأنه غريب عن الشعب الفلسطيني ومخالف لكل القوانين والقرارات والمواثيق الدولية.

وأكد الصالحي على أن حزب الشعب موقفه بهذه القضية باتجاهين؛ الأول محاسبة المتورطين في جريمة مقتل بنات، والثاني ضرورة الالتزام بالحكمة من كافة القوى السياسة والاجتماعية بما لا يزيد من تدهور الوضع الداخلي، وأن حزب الشعب موقفه ثابت في رفض الانتهاكات، ورفض استغلالها من أي طرف.

في هذه الأثناء، قال الصالحي: “نطلق الدعوة لتشكيل جبهة موحدة لحماية السلم الأهلي، نريد فيها كل القوى الفلسطينية، نحن نرفض التخوين وعبارات الشتائم وتحويل الصراع إلى داخلي، سواء باتجاه الرئيس محمود عباس أو حركة فتح أو حركة حماس أو أي من القوى، كل القوى الفلسطيني قوى لا تزال في الصف الوطني، نريدها جميعاً ضمن جبهة لحماية السلم الأهلي، ولتحقيق محاسبة المسؤولين عن قتل نزار بنات، وهو أمر يجب أن لا يمر”.

وتابع: “نريد حماية الوضع، وأن لا يتدحرج الوضع إلى الفوضى والصراع الداخلي، نريد من الشبان والأمن أن يكونوا في مواجهة الاحتلال وفي جبهة واحدة في إنهاء الاحتلال، نريد أن يبقى المشهد الفلسطيني مشهداً موحداً، ويمكن للشعب الفلسطيني أن يبقى متماسكاً بالتمسك بالوحدة الوطنية وإبقاء القضية المركزية بإنهاء الاحتلال، وكذلك حماية الحريات”.

تورينو - قدم المهاجم الصربي لوكا يوفيتش المنضم حديثا لصفوف فيورنتينا، أداءً مذهلاً في أول ظهور له بقميص الفيولا في المباراة الودية التي لعبها أمام ريال فيتشنزا.

وانضم يوفيتش لصفوف فيورنتينا، لمدة موسم على سبيل الإعارة قادما من ريال مدريد، فيما شارك لأول مرة مع الفريق في الودية الأولى للفيولا في الفترة التحضيرية للموسم الجديد.

وشارك المهاجم الصربي في الشوط الثاني من المباراة، ونجح في تسجيل 4 أهداف بداية من الدقيقة 51، في المباراة التي انتهت بفوز فيورنتينا بنتيجة (7-0).

وتنوع يوفيتش في أهدافه التي سجلها، بعدما أحرز ركلة جزاء وكرة رأسية وتسديدة ومقابلته لتمريرة بالكعب من جوناثان إيكوني.

وكان يوفيتش قد انتقل إلى ريال مدريد من آينتراخت فرانكفورت الألماني في صيف 2019، إلا أنه لم يتمكن من دخول التشكيلة الأساسية للميرنجي في وجود كريم بنزيما.

وعاد يوفيتش لآينتراخت معارا في شتاء العام الماضي، ثم رجع للريال مطلع الموسم الماضي، لكنه أخفق في تغيير قناعات المدير الفني كارلو أنشيلوتي وبقي غالبية الموسم خارج الحسابات، ثم رحل نهائيا إلى فيورنتينا هذا الصيف .
