During my meeting this week with elementary school students in one of our villages, I talked as usual to the students about the titles of my stories, and gave a brief overview of each one and what is the meaning or idea it carries.

Among these stories is the story "In Our Country There Are Elections", which is suitable for students from the fifth grade and below.

The meeting was with third students, and when I mentioned the elections, some of the students responded immediately and with clear joy, “Erdogan won the elections.” This was not one or two, but a large number of students. They started talking about the elections in Turkey and Erdogan’s victory, and I was surprised that one of them entered into Details He says: If the opposition leader succeeded, he would have expelled the Syrians from Turkey.

I was astonished by the immersion of third-elementary students in this picture and their exposure to international politics, not just local ones, so I had a discussion about politics with them exactly as if they were adults.

It is clear from the students' reaction, the importance of the Turkish elections and their reflection on our people locally, as well as on the Arab peoples in general through the means of communication. This interest that reached children of this age did not come by chance, but rather because politics is an issue raised in our daily lives and in every home.

There is an unprecedented exposure through the Internet and various media to all generations, but the most important of all is the influence of the parents and what they talk about politics and other things in front of their children. It is clear here that the parents are sympathetic to Erdogan, and this was transmitted to the children.

This means that the parents have a decisive role with regard to the position on the local elections, and how to manage them, and what the children hear from their elders will undoubtedly affect their behavior. It reaches the children, and they will act on the basis of the information they received from their parents, as positivity reflects positivity, and negativity reflects negativity.

Guidance at home is the basis of education on the importance of respecting and accepting the existence of competition and other opinions without demonizing political opponents.

My story “In Our Country There Are Elections,” which was published in 2017 by Dar Al Aswar for the Child, talks about the behavior of the two competitors, the winner and the loser, and what they must do in the elections, whether they are local or national.

The responsibility for the reaction to the election results is not only the responsibility of the loser to admit his loss and congratulate the winner, but the responsibility lies equally with the winner who has the right to rejoice, but without provocations to the losing competitor, and to have taste, and not disturb the globe with firecrackers or gunfire!

This is on the local level, as the local elections are approaching.

On the international level, in the last two decades, Turkey has constituted an excellent model for the countries of the region, and for many countries of the world, by spreading the democratic spirit in which elections took place, transparent competition, Recep Tayyip Erdogan's behavior with the opposition before and after his victory, and his reassuring approach that constitutes a model Well, for the minimum that the system should be, and this is what no Arab country enjoys, unfortunately.

Turkey and its politics are very important to the region, the world and the Arabs, and the victory of Erdogan and his party and what it represents is a referendum for the Turkish people, in which he clearly declared his respect for its history and the bias of most of it to a normal relationship of mutual respect with the Arabs, without denying their civilization and language and what they offered to humanity.

Many in the world wished for Erdogan's failure, including many Arabs, and most parties in Israel and from various sects wished that Erdogan and his approach would disappear from the map of the region and the world. On behalf of the great powers, it is also not silent when the occupation commits crimes against our Palestinian people, and does not equate the criminal with the victim. That is why I understand those innocent phrases uttered by the children, which reflected a popular mood among us sympathetic to Recep Tayyip Erdogan and what he represents. About "Arab 48"

Social media was abuzz with comments describing the reprehensible activities that took place in two Jerusalem schools. The discussions showed a dangerous aspect that is consistent with the occupation's plans aimed at Judaizing the city, seizing its components, and separating it from its national incubator.

I have already mentioned in a previous article the studies issued by the Israeli "Jerusalem Institute for Policy Research" for the benefit of the official Israeli institution, including studies on the implementation of Israeli Cabinet Resolution No. 3790 on social and economic development in East Jerusalem.

The studies prepared by the aforementioned “Institute” review the development of Israeli policy in Jerusalem and its persistent attempts to neutralize the role of the Jordanian government and the Palestine Liberation Organization until 1987 to end their influence on the scene in Jerusalem and on the orientations of the various Jerusalemite institutions, which collectively represented the national identity of Jerusalemites.

The Institute's studies add that the diplomatic missions in East Jerusalem have been practicing their activities only after the "acknowledgment and blessing" of the Jordanian government and the Palestine Liberation Organization, in full view of the Israeli government.

As for educational institutions, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the concerned Jordanian institution enabled them to stand as a bulwark against attempts of enticement and intimidation, to remain a haven for preserving the authentic national narrative. The failure of the Israeli governments is evident from achieving a turn in their favor that enables them to control Jerusalem and its components during that period. At the end of the year 1978, the national uprising broke out from the heart of the city of Jerusalem and the rest of Palestine, so that all Palestinians would declare their rejection of the perpetual occupation and its oppression and their right to self-determination.

The Institute's studies suggest that the historical "turn" that announced a change in the scene took place with the end of the popular uprising, the signing of peace agreements, and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority in 1994, which was entrusted with tasks that were exclusive to the Palestine Liberation Organization. The "turn" began, as suggested by the Institute's studies, with the transfer of the center of political action from the city of Jerusalem to the city of Ramallah, which formed the "temporary" political capital of the Palestinian National Authority.

With this turning point, the important national institutions began to move from the city of Jerusalem to the city of Ramallah, and it was agreed to establish foreign diplomatic "representations" accredited to the Palestinian Authority in the city of Ramallah. To empty the city of Jerusalem of its national dimension, and with it to expose the Jerusalemite community, which has always been a faithful guard of Jerusalem and its institutions, in front of the occupation.

In view of the decline in the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the involvement of the Palestinian National Authority in establishing and managing its young institutions, the Israeli establishment found the opportunity to implement its plans and impose its control over the city and its components. And isolating Jerusalem from its surroundings and stripping it “geographically” from the areas of the Palestinian National Authority. Within this context, the studies add, that the political, social, cultural and other life has completely shifted to the city of Ramallah after it was populated in the city of Jerusalem.

The Institute's studies on the recommendation for draft resolution 3790 conclude that the gap between civil society and the components of East Jerusalem on the one hand, and the Palestinian National Authority on the other hand has worsened significantly, and that the growth of "regional patriotism" for the holy people has opened an opportunity for dialogue between actors, individuals and institutions, within the Jerusalemite community and the Israeli establishment. And that what contributes to achieving them is the widening of the differences between the Palestinian factions and their negative impact on the Palestinian society and Jerusalemites in particular.

In conclusion: Last Tuesday coincided with the anniversary of the death of the late Faisal Al-Husseini, "Prince of Jerusalem," so may his soul and the souls of the loyal sons of Palestine who perished while struggling together, have all the mercy.

The first thing to know about the Nakba is that it actually happened. Palestinian victims provided contemporary eyewitness accounts. The Israeli military and political archives contain detailed reports of the plan's designers and implementers. Yigal Allon indicated that it was intended to "cleanse the upper Hebron area and reach the Jewish areas." To achieve this goal, Israeli forces used forced expulsions and killed civilians to terrorize others into leaving and ultimately uprooting 700,000 Palestinians. Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, described it as a "double miracle" of creating a larger and more Jewish state. Chaim Weizmann, Israel's first president, hailed the operation as a "miraculous cleansing of the land."

The Israelis denied that massacres took place or that their forces terrorized civilians. Victims' testimonies were ignored and international entities' investigations were dismissed as biased. If this failed, the Israelis replied that the Arabs fled because their leaders ordered them to do so, to pave the way for the "invading Arab armies".

It is denial and lying and then obliteration. In 1971, I experienced my first immersion in the reality of the Nakba. Traveling to Lebanon and Jordan supported by a grant to collect stories of Palestinian refugees just 23 years after the expulsions, I interviewed many who had vivid memories of the hardships they endured. Shortly thereafter, I had my first experience of Nakba denial.

Upon my return, I wrote what I experienced. A university dean wrote a letter to the editor, denouncing my work as an example of "neo-Nazi and neo-Bolshevik anti-Semitism." When I was invited to speak about the articles, some members of the audience gave a violent refusal. The representative of the group that invited me explained the hostile reaction: “They have been conditioned to see Palestinians as objects. And by making them see the Palestinians as real people, you threatened that denial that protects them from acknowledging Israel's crime.”

This deniability mechanism still operates today. A major American Jewish organization objected, through a complaint to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, against hosting a celebration of the Nakba on May 10 at the Congressional Visitor Center, and it was planned that the celebration would include Palestinians who lived through the memory and Palestinian historians. Council President Kevin McCarthy responded that the incident "appears" to be anti-Semitic and vowed he would "never allow that to happen in this body".

The permit for the venue was withdrawn, forcing the Nakba event organizers to look for another venue. McCarthy then used the place from which he expelled the Palestinians to host a celebration of Israel's independence, apparently without the irony. In November 2022, after the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution to commemorate the Nakba, Palestinians began planning a Nakba commemoration at the United Nations Headquarters. In response, the Israeli delegation called for a boycott and pressured member states not to participate. This betrays a growing consternation as they insist that criticism of Israel is largely anti-Semitic, saying that critics "criticize Israel alone".

Indeed, these Israeli apologists insist that Israel is the only country that cannot be criticized, and in the meantime, they deny Palestinians the right to tell their own story and to recognize their humanity. This is racism and is the origin of Nakba denial.

It must be said that the policy applied by the current Israeli government with regard to settlement in the 1967 lands aims to achieve three purposes: deepening and expanding settlement by imposing facts on the ground, increasing the plundering of Palestinian lands, and expanding the circle of Jewish terrorism in those lands, which identical reports confirm is A parallel arm of the Israeli army and the security establishment. A new manifestation of this policy is the approval of the Israeli Knesset, last March, to cancel provisions included in what is known as the "unilateral disengagement law from the Gaza Strip and four settlements in the northern West Bank," 18 years after its approval in 2005.

The law provides for the abolition of provisions in the previous law, which prohibited settlers from entering the area of four evacuated settlements in the occupied West Bank, Janim, Kadim, Homesh and Sanur, in a way that opens the way for their resettlement, which happened in recent days and drew widespread criticism from the United States and the European Union. The cancellation of these clauses was part of the conditions of the extreme religious right-wing parties in return for joining the coalition of the current Netanyahu government, without overlooking that the Likud party itself seems quite ready, and for a long time, to take such a step, even without stipulating it from its allies.

The new law is also a vital element in the current Israeli government's effort to legalize the Homesh outpost, which settlers have repeatedly tried to rebuild. Israeli associations specialized in monitoring settlements in the occupied territories and opponents of the law said that it would be used to expand settlement activity in the region in general, and would lead to the actual annexation of large parts of the West Bank.

Prior to the current government's steps, in October 2016, Netanyahu's fourth government approved the proposal submitted by Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel (from the Jewish Home party) regarding the resumption of the work of the "Settlement Division" as one of the departments in this Ariel ministry (it was placed under his responsibility as part of from the coalition agreement when forming the government), and that was after freezing the work of this division for about two years, due to legal disputes, suspicions, and accusations that prevented government budgets from being monitored and transferred to it. This decision meant that the government and its various branches would restore the central means of deepening settlement in the West Bank in the first place, and in addition to that, the division would continue what is called “the management of Israeli settlement lands in the rural sector” in the West Bank, that is, the distribution of lands to Jewish settlers in the West Bank, which it does. Since 1967.

It should also be noted that the success of the colonial Israeli settlement project in the West Bank is conditional, in an important aspect, on the acceptance and agreement of a large number of Jews to actively participate in it. Their acceptance is due, at one level, to the material benefit they reap. Throughout the history of Zionist settlement, the settlers enjoyed general economic resources that, with time, turned into private property for them.

And while allocating resources to settlements and settlers was carried out in the past by resorting to tricks and maneuvers that were overwhelmingly within the “gray area” between legal and illegal, in recent years it has become an “integral part” of government spending that enjoys pure formal legality, through various laws It was enacted for this purpose, among them mainly the “General Budget Law”, in addition to various laws and legal orders aimed at plundering and appropriating Palestinian lands. Hence, what is included in the new budget law that was approved by the Knesset last week in everything related to monitoring budgets and various material resources for settlements and settlers constitutes a strict implementation of the prevailing official political directions in Israel, and comes to serve these directions.

Even according to the calculations of Israeli organizations, the share of the Jewish settler in the West Bank from the state's new general budget is equivalent to five times the share of the Israeli in any of the various residential areas within the so-called "green line". About "The New Arab"

What happened in Al-Ram stadium: exceptional, unacceptable, out of the ordinary, out of cordiality, out of the goodness of the relationship that unites us as Jordanians and Palestinians, east of the river with its west.

It is true that football does its worst, between teams and fans, between brothers, among the people of the same country, in the same country, in the countries of the world, skirmishes and assaults take place over the referee, over the players, and from the fans over the opponent’s fans, but the specificity between Jordan and Palestine Don't allow this.

What unites us is intimate, strong, and transcends results, matches and competition, and it exists, and sports competition is legitimate and required, but insulting, is rejected by anyone, for the Palestinian people are enough suffering and pain as a result of the occupation.

So I did not understand, I did not accept the circumstances of what happened in the Al-Ram stadium between the two football teams, and I do not think that there is a sane and balanced person who crossed his limits and did it. Al-Ram area in Jerusalem is still under the security occupation authorities, and it is classified in terms of security as belonging to the authorities of the Israeli military government, which makes suspicion and conjecture that an intentional Israeli intelligence act played its malicious role in the facts and scenario of the results.

Dozens of times, for the thousands of Jordanians in Palestine, whether in Jerusalem, the 48 areas, the Negev, Nablus, or Hebron, the Jordanian finds himself surrounded by high love and appreciation just because the Palestinian knows the identity of the Jordanian, so the welcome, appreciation, and honorable, spontaneous duty take place, in the streets of ancient Jerusalem, The lanes of Nablus, the houses of Hebron, the squares of Nazareth, the beaches of Jaffa, Haifa, and Acre. The Palestinian there finds his lung here in the Jordanian, with love, awareness, and supplication.

We were in the office of Sheikh Barjas Al-Hadid Abu Nidal, the man of difficult social tasks and reconciliations, Al-Wazin, Al-Razin, the representative, Al-Ain, who had the virtues in solving complexities and problems throughout his life, and behind him was the engineer Nidal Al-Hadid, President of Al-Faisaly Club, when he said: “I am certain that whoever did it is suspicious Maqsoud, and ignorant people gave him the opportunity, because the fraternal family relations that unite us are much stronger than leaving in our souls as Jordanians and Palestinians, any trace that cannot shake the strength of cohesion and interest between us, and the one blood that flows in our veins.

Thus, Al-Faisaly's statement was issued, blaming and apologizing, desiring to overcome what happened, and so on, with parallels here and there.

I remember when I was president of the Al-Hussein Camp Club, and we often competed for the volleyball championship with Al-Wehdat Club. We heard mutual impolite hurtful comments and chants. We were ashamed of the management comrades at the two clubs’ councils, but I used what was entrenched in my mind in the meetings, when it happened between Al-Wehdat and Al-Faisaly. I say, what happens between the clubs of Al-Wehdat, Al-Hussein and Al-Baqaa, more and less, and remains within the framework of legitimate sports with enthusiasm towards the desire to win and the rejection of defeat, and the competition between the one divided self, between brothers, and we conclude by saying: “It happens in the finest societies.”

May God curse those who did it, those who employed it, and those who tried to exploit it. Purity will remain the master of the situation between Amman and Jerusalem. It was, is and will continue to be.

One of the most used expressions in the official Palestinian political discourse when describing European and American policies is that they adopt double standards when looking at the Palestinian issue, and sometimes it is replaced by the expression of double standards. Are we really facing double standards, or is it a matter of not understanding the essence of these two policies, or let's say the use of a diplomatic euphemism that does not cut bridges with the two policies?

If it is true that diplomacy often has its expressions, formulations, and discourse in general, and politics and thought have their expressions, formulations, and discourse, but it is very dangerous for the diplomatic discourse to transform into the discourse of political thought, then we will not only face a distortion of the facts, but also a distortion of the awareness of the recipient of the speech, while he is in this state. Our people.

Let us take, for example, the European and American position on the Russian military operation in Ukraine compared to the same position on Zionist colonialism. In the first position, the hostility to Russia reached its peak, as well as the punitive measures that have been taking place for more than a year. The European and American military arsenal was opened in front of Zelensky and Nazis. Italy decided to write off the teaching of Tolstoy from its academic courses, while doors were opened and assistance was provided to Ukrainian refugees with blond hair and blue and green eyes, while steps were taken to stand up to the immigration of Africans and Asians, and this is what is happening in Britain, Italy and others, for example.

On the other hand, Zionist colonialism did not carry out a mere military operation in Palestine, not even a mere invasion, but deportation and ethnic cleansing, which resulted in the deportation of 850,000 Palestinians in the year 48 who are today 7 million refugees, and the colonization of all of Palestine and flooding it with settlers brought from all over the world, and turning the back on dozens of decisions Internationalism, which the Zionists refuse to abide by, and with European and American support in the United Nations.

What is the American and European response to all Zionist colonial aggression: condemnation, concern, and in the most extreme cases formal condemnation? Sanctions were not imposed, as in the case of Russia, and war was not waged against Zionist colonialism, as in the case of Russia, where the entire Atlantic threw its weight there in the battle. Rather, the colonizers’ country turned into a huge military arsenal due to American and European support, not even providing it with the capabilities to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Are we, in this situation, facing double standards and a double standard, a standard for the position on Russia and its military operation, and a standard for the position on the Zionist colonizer of Palestine? After all, the standard is the same. American and European politics are driven by the same imperialist mentality, even if this differs from that with some frills. In general, all betting on Europe’s independence from America has failed. European politics is just a subservient follower of American politics.

It is one standard. Hegemony over the capabilities of peoples and preventing the development of hostile forces, or at least competition, for American and European imperial influence. (The criterion of absolute domination), so to speak, is the one that moved the Atlantic with its American and European branches against Russia in order to prevent it from becoming a force confronting American influence, a movement that began since the 2014 coup, a force that seeks to change the rules of the international system that guarantees the absolute dominance of American imperialism, and it is the same tendency to show The hostility to China and the escalation of the position against it, which is the same standard that governs the absolute European and American support for Zionist colonialism in Palestine, ensuring the detention of the development of the Arab region and striking any attempts to liberate it from hegemony, and the transformation of the colonial state into a micro-imperialism, according to the successful expression of the late Dr.

Habash, and a striking tool in the hands of American imperialism. The same criterion can simply be drawn on the European and American position on Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah in Lebanon: the relentless pursuit of striking at efforts to build an axis of resistance to American, European, and Zionist influence in defense of petty imperialism, its role in the region, and its occupation of Palestine.

American and European policy in the region is not only directed in essence by the common capitalist interests between Europeans, Americans and Zionists, but in terms of substance belonging to the same ideological camp historically: the racist camp of the white man towards everyone outside Europe.

Even the Russian becomes Asian according to this racist view. The state of the colonialists is only the Ashkenazic state of the white Zionists.

There are no double standards, but rather one standard that drives European and American policies, which is hostility to the aspirations of peoples for independence, including ours, and to find a place for them on the world map, away from imperialist domination.

She was confidently walking around the corners of the 32nd Arab Summit in Jeddah and taking unique and distinctive video clips of the press conference that brought together the Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, and the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, during the recitation of the closing statement of the summit.

Baaqil said: “I can speak four languages, which are (Arabic – English – Italian fluently – Eritrean) and I am also fluent in a fifth language, which is the language of The image, and the meanings it expresses, whether across the Gulf, the Middle East, or the whole world, as the image in itself expresses the culture that characterizes the state or personality without the need for a translator.

A young man was wounded by Israeli bullets, at dawn today, Thursday, at the Shuafat refugee camp checkpoint, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.

According to local sources, these forces shot a young man as he passed through the Shuafat refugee camp checkpoint, and he was transferred to a hospital in Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces tightened their military measures at the checkpoint, obstructing the movement of citizens.

On Thursday morning, dozens of settlers stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, under the strict protection of the occupation police.

The settlers made provocative tours inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and performed Talmudic rituals.

Settler groups storm Al-Aqsa on a daily basis, except for Friday and Saturday.

Moroccan international goalkeeper Yassin Bounou led his Spanish team, Seville, to consolidate its dominance in the European League competition, "Europa League" in football, by contributing to achieving the seventh crown in its history (a record), by defeating Italian Roma 4-1 on penalties, Wednesday, in the final match at the stadium. Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, after the end of the original and extra time, with a 1-1 draw.

Roma was the first to score through its Argentine international playmaker Paulo Dybala (35), and the Andalusian team responded with friendly fire through defender Gianluca Mancini (55 fouls in his team's goal).

Bono shone in the match with his brilliant saves more than once before he headed it off with two penalty kicks from Mancini and Brazilian Roger Ibanez, the first with his foot and the second with the tip of his ring finger, before it bounced off the right post.

Bono delighted the Spanish fans after he frustrated them with his brilliance in the penalty shootout also during the confrontation between the Moroccan and Spanish teams in the World Cup in Qatar in the final price, when he toppled La Roja outside the world wedding after saving two penalty kicks as well.

Bono and his compatriot, striker Youssef Al-Nusairi, became the first Arab players to win two continental titles, after they contributed to Seville winning the competition title for the last time in the 2019-2020 season.

Bono said after the match, "It is an incredible and indescribable feeling. I think we deserve this title, given our wonderful career in the competition, especially in the last rounds."

He added, "Praise be to God, frankly, it is a big win. The season was not easy, and the players confirmed that they are great and that the team is also great. Roma are a strong opponent and (Roma Portuguese coach Jose) Mourinho defends well, but our team showed that it is great and we could have won in regular or extra time." But we were rewarded in the penalty shootout."

"I lived many moments like this, it reminded me of the World Cup," he continued.

For his part, Al-Nusairi said, "It is a wonderful victory and the culmination of hard work that we have done for months."

Seville, who won the seventh title in the auxiliary continental competition, scored four penalties through Argentines Lucas Ocampos, Eric Lamela, Goncalo Montial and Croatian Ivan Rakitic, while Brian Cristante scored the only kick for Roma.

And the Andalusian team confirmed that it was the king of the competition with a seventh title in the seventh final match, and ensured its presence in the Champions League competition next season, making up for its disappointing season locally, as it occupies eleventh place after it was struggling to avoid relegation before contracting with its coach, Jose Luis Mendelibar, who won the first title in his career. training.

Sevilla, the Portuguese coach, deprived Rome of winning the sixth continental title in the sixth final match, after he led his compatriot Porto in 2003 to the European Union Cup (currently Europa League) and the Champions League the following year, then Inter Milan to the title of the prestigious continental competition in 2010 and Manchester United of England. for the Europa League in 2017 and then Rome for the Conference League title last year.

And the Andalusian club deservedly won the title, whether through its career in the competition and its exclusion of the ancient Manchester United of England and Juventus of Italy in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, or its level in the final match, especially in the second half and the extra half.

Sevilla played the match with his full squad, except for the absence of his Argentine international defender Marcos Acuña due to injury.
The Seville players wore a shirt that read, "Come on, Sergio, we are with you," in a message of support for the Spanish goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, Sergio Rico, who is in intensive care and in critical condition in a hospital in the Andalusian capital due to a serious accident while riding a horse.

On the other hand, Mourinho involved Dybala mainly after doubts about his participation due to an ankle injury that kept him out of action for several weeks.

The old striker raised his tally to five goals in the tournament and the seventeenth in all competitions with eight assists.

The beginning of the match came cautiously from the two teams, so the real opportunities to score were rarely absent, and the most prominent was for the Italian team when Leonardo Spinazzola hit a powerful ball from the penalty spot, which was removed by Seville's Moroccan international goalkeeper Yassin Bounou from his own goal by blocking a powerful shot by Leonardo Spinazzola from inside the area before it was dispersed by the defense. (12).

Israel reportedly reached a preliminary agreement with Budapest on Wednesday to move the Hungarian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, making it the first European country to take such a step.

According to the Hebrew news website Ynet, this came during a meeting between Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó in Budapest.

Israeli diplomatic sources believe that the Hungarian government is waiting for a special occassion to announce that decision, such as an upcoming meeting to be held between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Hungarian counterpart, Viktor Orban. The same sources estimate that the embassy will be moved later this year once Hungary finds a suitable location in Jerusalem.

Hungary would be the first country in the European Union to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem, which could cause a rift with Brussels as the European Union does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. 

The new decisions of the occupation municipality in Jerusalem and the government of the extreme right reveal a set of plans and decisions that ignore the Palestinian neighborhoods and villages in occupied Jerusalem in the strategic housing plan for the year 2040, and even confiscate large areas of their lands in favor of nearby settlements and leave large areas of land in favor of green areas, claiming Public interest.

According to what was stated in a report by the Israeli human rights organization "Ir Amim", the government and the municipality of the occupation, the plan has existed since 2017, and some amendments have been added to it in favor of modernizing, modifying and developing these neighborhoods, they claim, and it was taken in recent years, which will have a far-reaching impact on Planning and building policy in Jerusalem during the next two decades at least.

These decisions include allocating planning budgets, relying on light rail lines for the purpose of increasing construction rates in settlements on both sides of this railway, and doubling settlements in settlements north and south of occupied Jerusalem.

According to the plan of the municipality and the racist right-wing government, the goal lies in doubling the number of settlers in East Jerusalem and shifting the planning center of gravity to urban renewal and densification projects in the existing settlements and linking them to each other, especially those along the southern border with Bethlehem and north with Qalandiya and Ramallah, by intensifying settlement. in the north and south to form a solid geographical and demographic divide that prevents the re-division of a united Jerusalem, as they claim.

And based on a working paper revealed by the “Ir Amim” organization, attention should be paid to “Strategic Plan 3, which was approved by the government in 2017, in which the parameters of the settlement consolidation plan and the prevention of the division of Jerusalem were laid out, and direct their actions for housing in the city until the year 2040.” Planning in the twenty years.

Among the sections and content of the plan that appeared in the form of deaf trends, statistics and maps to hide the real Israeli goal of this plan is to reduce the number of Palestinians in Jerusalem, reduce their percentage in the city and increase settlement projects in its heart and in its northern and southern settlements.

The directives of this settlement plan reveal the unbalanced planning that is based on doubling settlements, preventing Palestinian expansion, and ignoring the Palestinian forces and neighborhoods. It is almost impossible to implement this plan in the Palestinian neighborhoods of the city.

It is clear from the plan, a large part of which has completely changed from the one drawn up in 2017, that its content is political. Therefore, this policy tended towards the extreme right, which sees Jerusalemites as an existential and demographic threat that threatens the unity of Jerusalem and prevents stability in it, especially within the walls of the Old City. Where the Christian and Islamic sanctities, especially the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

While the planning leaders and its district committees and the local committee for planning and building in the occupation municipality claim that the strategic housing plan for 2040 was designed, according to professional considerations, it turns out effortlessly that this plan deliberately and planned ignored the presence of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians residing in occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, and ignored their housing needs. For the next 20 years, it dealt with villages and neighborhoods in a backward manner that does not keep pace with the requirements of natural population expansion under the pretext of preserving the rural character of the Palestinian villages.

Rather, it narrowed the stranglehold through these plans, and did not propose any plans, even for the internal construction of these villages, and refused to organize these villages and neighborhoods, and rejected the structural maps of the neighborhoods and villages that had been prepared or under preparation, and re-discussed with the aim of imposing more restrictions and obstacles in front of its people to limit construction, expansion and exploitation What is left of the land for these villages and neighborhoods to build for bypass roads and to expand nearby settlements.

Ir Amim estimated that the next stage will witness a more serious crisis than the one in occupied East Jerusalem, as a result of the policy of the government and the occupation municipality in East Jerusalem, and said: This unfair policy and favoritism of settlement at the expense of the Palestinians in East Jerusalem has a price, and the future will prove that this price It would be expensive and challenging due to the planning distinction between West Jerusalem, the settlements in East Jerusalem, and the Palestinian citizens of East Jerusalem.

Ir Amim concluded by saying that what is happening in planning today is subject to the vision of the extreme right and the settlers who have become the decision-makers in the planning and construction committees, especially with regard to East Jerusalem.

Today, Wednesday, the Executive Committee of the PLO confirmed that it is in continuous session until the strike crisis of UNRWA employees, which has been going on for 110 days, is resolved.

And she stressed that she would not allow the dire situation in the camps to remain for a longer period of time, because the suffering of the refugees had exacerbated, indicating that she had decided to place her responsibility within the framework of the direct responsibility of the PLO and its Executive Committee, because it is the only legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.

The committee said: "It and the Palestinian leadership stand with the demands of the UNRWA workers, and support their just and legitimate demands, and fear that the continuation of the strike and the failure to provide services to our people in the camps will lead to the collapse of the education and health system."

The members of the executive confirmed their refusal to hold our people in the camps responsible for the consequences of the strike, and a meeting will be held with the United Nations Commissioner-General for Refugees and Works, Philip Lazardini, on the seventh of next month, to end the crisis.

The Executive Committee had formed a committee with the participation of eight of its members, to follow up the dialogue with all concerned parties, in order to reach a solution to the crisis.

The sound of explosions and the roar of Israeli planes still dominate the scenes of children in the coastal Gaza Strip, causing psychological symptoms in them, despite the end of the last wave of tension between the Islamic Jihad Movement and Israel about two weeks ago.

Some children who lived through difficult moments during the last wave showed many symptoms, most notably lack of sleep, anxiety, bedwetting, staying attached to their parents, and avoiding leaving the house, according to local psychiatrists.

On the ninth of May, military tension erupted between the Israeli army and the Islamic Jihad movement, which lasted for 5 days, after sudden Israeli air raids on the Strip killed 3 of the movement's senior military leaders.

As a result, the joint military operations room of the Palestinian factions exchanged shelling with the Israeli army, killing 33 Palestinians, including 5 children, 3 women and two elderly people, 11 leaders and members of the Islamic Jihad and one Israeli, according to official statistics.

After complex and intense negotiations during the military tension, Egypt succeeded in reaching a cease-fire between the Islamic Jihad movement, whose delegation was present at the time in Cairo, and Israel to avoid further human and material losses on both sides.

As soon as the sound of explosions and the roar of planes stopped, the people of Gaza gradually resumed their usual daily rituals, as they returned to their places of work, schools and universities, and shops opened their doors.

However, the matter does not seem similar to Haneen Abu Obeid, 11 years old, from the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, who lost her family's house in a raid by Israeli planes, which led to its complete destruction.

Since then, the Hanin family has been living in a rented house far from their destroyed home, but they still have nightmares every night, which makes them feel that the Israeli "war" on the Gaza Strip is not over yet.

"When I wake up from my sleep, the nightmares do not end (...) When I hear any loud sound, I think it is an Israeli raid that will attack the place," the little girl with a slim body told Xinhua.

"I cannot go out on my own from the house or even play in the street with my friends from the neighborhood," Haneen added, while her family members are trying to get her out of her psychological state, noting that people in Gaza do not live in an unsafe place.

Haneen was not in this situation, as the child Muhammad al-Dirawi (10 years old), her neighbor, lives with the same feeling of anxiety, fear and depression, saying that his life has been turned upside down since his house was destroyed in an Israeli raid.

Al-Dirawi told Xinhua that the recent tension and the accompanying air strikes caused loud explosions that made him isolated and afraid all the time, and he could not do anything or go to the store near his residence.

Both Hanin and Muhammad express their hope to live in peace as soon as possible without witnessing more military tensions that would kill more civilian people and destroy more and more residential facilities.

Since 2007, Israel has imposed a tight blockade on the Strip following the Hamas takeover, in addition to that, Israel launched four large-scale military operations and dozens of limited military tensions.

Nine out of ten children in Gaza suffer some form of conflict-related trauma due to the Israeli military operations in the strip, according to a report issued by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, an independent non-profit organization active in Geneva in 2021.

More than half of the youth in the Gaza Strip, including children, need psychological support after the recent tension in the Strip, according to Sami Oweida, a Gaza-based psychiatrist and head of the non-governmental Gaza Mental Health Programme.

Awaida told Xinhua that the repeated Israeli attacks actually lead to a clear imbalance in human behavior, whether in adults or children. As a result of this bombing, what is called psychological trauma appears, which has different responses at the behavioral, cognitive, emotional and physical levels.

Awaida believes that the Israeli wars cause obvious stress on the psychological and behavioral level of the local population, noting that the children of Gaza need to live in peace and find a final solution to the conflict with Israel to find their way to normal life as well as all other people around the world.

The Israeli campaigns for the return of settlement and its encouragement in the West Bank, especially in the evacuated "Homesh" settlement, are led by Yemeni parties and extremist settlers, who used religious reasons to justify their calls, claiming that the lands of the Homesh area, which is considered governmental, and vast areas of it, are owned by Palestinian farmers from the town of Silat al-Dhahr and the village of Burqin, for its religious importance.

However, experts and specialists in Israeli affairs questioned these allegations, and revealed, in their interview with Al-Quds.com, the real reasons and dimensions of these policies, which enjoy great support and coverage from the most extreme right-wing government in Israel.

Muawiya Kamel, an Israeli expert from Jenin, revealed that the first nucleus of the "Homesh" settlement was established in the form of a military base belonging to the Nahal Brigade in 1978, and it is one of the Israeli army's means of controlling Palestinian lands, and then converting them into civilian settlements, noting that this method It spread intensively after the emergence of the Gush Emunim movement and the intensification of settlement construction in the late days of the Labor government led by Rabin and the rise of Menachem Begin and the Likud in 1977.

Returning to the data and facts of history, Kamel explained that in 1980 the military base turned into a civilian settlement in which about seventy families, half or more of whom were secular Jews, resided. More than half of the settlers left the settlement after the outbreak of the second intifada and were replaced by settlers from the national religious movement.

Kamel mentioned that the settlement was named by this name, according to some Hebrew sources, after five villages that existed in the area during the Talmud period, which lasted from the year 70 AD until the Islamic conquest. Five in Greek - Homesh means five or five, in Hebrew - Fanta means five and Qawmiyya means villages.

Kamel believes that the return of settlement to the place “Homesh” is related to the activities of the settlement movements, including the hilltop youth who see settlement in every inch of “Land of Israel”, specifically in what is called “Judea and Samaria”, as a sacred call in itself, in which the apparatus complies with them. Security over most of its components, but on the condition that this does not conflict with the strategic interests of the state, especially relations with the United States.

Security reasons ..

And Kamel indicated that there is an important team in the army and security in the occupying state, which believes that the evacuation of settlements and military bases in the Jenin area and contentment with mobile control of the city and its surroundings without a permanent presence, was the reason for the deterioration of the security situation in the Jenin area in particular, leading to the loss of control in the last two years.

He added, "They prove this by the calm in areas such as Hebron, where there is settlement density and the ability of the Israeli army to move quickly, due to the presence of settlement blocs."

And Kamel indicated that they publicly support the return specifically to the settlement of Homesh and Tarsla (Sanor), and this is expressed publicly and without equivocation by the leaders of the so-called security current - a supra-political association, but it is actually a right-wing movement that upholds security and strategic interests, and calls for preserving the legacy of the Land of Israel as well and clings to By remaining in every inch of the West Bank, while giving the Palestinians autonomy related to pure life affairs only, without the existence of a political entity for them, the Zionist project.

The expert Kamel believes that what is happening with the Homesh issue is a translation of the logic of settlement, which is the same logic of the Zionist project, since this cancer arose on the land of Palestine more than a hundred years ago, a fence and a tower, then the removal of the fence and the tower.

He added: "In other words, the creeping nibbling, but with much wisdom and as much strength as possible, and if it requires taking a step, two steps, or ten backwards, we can do that, but in order to go back and crawl again."

Create sacredness.

And with the approval of the Netanyahu government to dismantle the disengagement law and legislate the return of settlers, opening the way for ultra-extremists to rebuild and settle in Homesh.

The researcher specialized in Israeli affairs, Muhammad Jaradat, confirmed that the occupation fabricated the issue of sanctity and religious reasons, to implement its dangerous plans to perpetuate settlement and Judaization in Palestine, questioning the fabricated narrative about the sanctity of the place in Israel.

The specialist Jaradat said: "Close to Nablus towards Jenin, the Homesh settlement was built on the Palestinian Mount Qubaibat, between Cyrenaica and the way of al-Dhahr, close to the Romanian Sebastia, where Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi rested on his journey towards Jenin, and the Jews fabricated a sanctity for it, which was dissipated in 2005. When Sharon ordered its evacuation, and accordingly the disengagement law was issued, in addition to a number of settlements in Gaza and the West Bank, so that the settlers returned in 2009 to Homesh, to open a biblical school, which is the school whose continued existence required the establishment of several military points after the operation that was carried out by a group of Islamic Jihad youth in Jenin, in which three settlers were killed and injured, one of whom had been working as a guard for the school since its opening.

Jaradat mentioned that when the Homesh settlement was evacuated in 2005, some soldiers tried to revolt, and raised the slogan Homesh like Tel Aviv, which is repeated today after the rise of the ultra-right to power in the Hebrew entity, and he said: “Netanyahu considered that Homesh is the land of the ancestors, and that Its settlers are the pioneers of the Zionists, at a time when these pioneers had dealt months ago with a deal offered to them by the Minister of War, Gantz, to evacuate Homesh, in exchange for installing the Avitar settlement on Mount Sabih, also adjacent to Nablus, a mountain whose owners have been struggling peacefully for years, and ten of them have risen as martyrs in This is a peaceful struggle."

changing contradictions.

The researcher Jaradat believes that the contradictions of the biblical holiness of the political and military leadership in the Hebrew entity change according to developments in the field. What is sacred today may become a security threat in the near future, or a national interest for the entity, and what threatens the life of the Israeli is forbidden according to Jewish law.

He added, "What prompted Sharon to evacuate the Yamit settlement in Sinai in 1982, after it was nominated after Tel Aviv and Haifa to be the third largest coastal city, is the same Sharon who transformed Joseph's shrine in the same year, to become a holy Jewish shrine, and he is the same who evacuated Homesh." He concluded by saying and asking, "Are the teenagers of Netanyahu and his allies, Ben Gvir and Smotrich in the West Bank, pushing towards a bone-breaking field that makes the lions' den of Nablus and its victorious battalion make settlers forget the sanctity of the alleged bones in Nablus and its environs from Jabal Sabih to Homesh?"

Palestinian response.

In his answer to the question, researcher Farid Abdullah asserts that all situations are subject to explosion and collision in all axes, if the settler government does not back down from its extremist and racist policies, Judaization schemes, land confiscation, the establishment of outposts, and the return of settlers to areas from which settlements were removed from Jenin Governorate, such as Homesh, Tarsla Sanour, Janim, and Kadim.

He added, "Simply using religious reasons as a cover to mislead the world and Israel's allies, but Palestinians are convinced that the settlement background stems from the policy of the far-right government."

And he continued: "In return for the support, encouragement, protection and arming that Israel provides to the settlers, the Palestinian territories are experiencing a state of anger and boiling, and a popular mood is heading towards resistance, which has established a new basis in conflict and clash, embodied by armed groups and brigades that have become present and effective on a daily basis in confronting and challenging the occupation, and issued decisions By pursuing and resisting settlers and banning their presence in the West Bank and Jerusalem.”

The specialist Abdullah considered the return to Homesh as a starting point for igniting a spark of violent armed resistance, especially in the Jenin area, which has turned into a hotbed of resistance and a warhead in resisting the occupation. The location, the weapon, and the only option, is the armed struggle, and it is no longer a secret to anyone, the strength of the Jenin Battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades and the Martyrs Brigade of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

He added: "The presence of these cells, their willingness to fight and develop their struggle tools, and the failure of the occupation to eliminate them, confirms that the region is on the verge of a battle that will not stop regardless of the difference in the balance of power, but it expresses a solid Palestinian position in confronting the occupation and its settlers and rejecting their presence at all costs." .

Elizabeth Holmes, one of the most prominent faces of former Silicon Valley technology companies, who was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for fraud while heading the startup "Theranos" company, began her sentence on Tuesday in a Texas prison.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed to AFP that the former businesswoman had arrived at the federal prison in Bryan, Texas, as noted by reporters.

In January 2022, after a four-month trial, Elizabeth Holmes was found guilty of fraud in fundraising for Theranos, after claiming it could revolutionize medical diagnostics.

Holmes made several judicial appeals to avoid going to prison, hoping to overturn her conviction, but they were all dismissed.

Holmes, 39, two decades after founding her company, is behind bars in a women's prison subject to a "minimum" security guard.

According to the BOB website, this type of prison contains dormitories, a small number of guards, and rehabilitation programs.

Theranos promised faster and cheaper diagnostics than traditional laboratories, thanks to methods the company presented as revolutionary that allow multiple tests to be performed with a very small amount of blood.

But the technology never worked, and the company closed in 2018, leaving behind investors who poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the company's capital.

Elizabeth Holmes has always claimed good faith, denying that she deliberately sought to deceive investors.

In mid-May, Judge Edward Davila ordered her and former Theranos chief operating officer Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani to return $452 million to the investors.

Among those investors is Rupert Murdock, to whom the two former partners owe $125 million.

In an interview with The New York Times, published in early May, Elizabeth Holmes explained that even before she was ordered to pay damages, she had been unable to pay the court fees, which prosecutors calculated at more than $30 million.

"I will have to work for the rest of my life to pay them back," she said.

The press reported that Holmes married Billy Evans in 2019, whose family owns a chain of hotels. She has two young children.

In 2014, Forbes magazine estimated Holmes' wealth at $4.5 billion, describing her as the youngest billionaire who made her own fortune and did not inherit it.

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, affirmed that the formation of the "Temple Mount" lobby aims to desecrate and Judaize the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Knesset had formed a committee under the name "For the Freedom of the Jews on the Temple Mount", in order to implement or attempt to implement what they are planning. In this religious context, the settlers transferred a religious institute from Homesh settlement to confiscated lands, with the approval of a number of Israeli ministers and senior officials.

It is known that settlers do not stop storming the Holy Mosque, performing Talmudic prayers and provocative dances in its courtyards.

This development, which aims to transform the dangers of the occupation into a religious aspect, must arouse Arab and Islamic public opinion in an actual and serious manner and take serious steps in order for the occupation leaders to realize the seriousness of what they are doing. Extremely dangerous and to a religious war, whether long or short, and the days are the best witness, and the future will be very dark for the occupation and all its religious expansionist ambitions, in addition to its practices against the land and citizens.
