Israeli estimates: Erdogan will continue rapprochement with Tel Aviv

The Israeli political level estimates that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after his re-election yesterday, will continue rapprochement with Israel.


These estimates come - according to the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz - from the return of positive relations between the two sides, especially after Erdogan's meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen in Ankara 3 months ago, and that was preceded by a meeting between him and Israeli President Isaac Herzog last year.


Herzog rushed last night to congratulate Erdogan on the victory, and said: "I am convinced that we will continue to work together to strengthen and expand the good relations."


Israeli observers believe that Erdogan is interested in expanding relations with Israel, as he is currently doing with neighboring countries in the Middle East.

Secretly moving the yeshiva in Homesh

In the early morning hours of Monday, settlers moved the religious school in the Homesh outpost, between Nablus and Jenin, to a new location within the outpost, with the aim of bypassing a judicial decision to remove it because it is on private Palestinian land.


According to the Hebrew website Ynet, a group of settlers evacuated the religious school in the outpost from its old location, and moved it at night and secretly, out of the sight of the Palestinians, to the depth of the outpost, which is described as "state land."


This step comes two months after the Israeli Knesset approved the cancellation of the "disengagement" bill from the areas in the northern West Bank, which would allow the outpost to be legalized and officially turned into a settlement.


The religious school was moved a few hundred meters from its old location, and caravans were installed for it instead of the tents that were erected in its old location.


The move took place with the approval of the Israeli government staff, especially the Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, and the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich.

Erdogan is an invincible president

After two decades in power, the outgoing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, 69, seemed threatened by the repercussions of the economic crisis and his monopoly on power, but he won Sunday evening the second round of the presidential elections in the face of opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu (74 years), leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP). democratic socialist).


"Our nation entrusted us with the responsibility of ruling the country for the next five years," Erdogan said after his victory in Istanbul in front of his supporters.


"These elections showed that no one can attack the gains of this nation," he added.


The official Anatolia news agency reported that Erdogan won 52.1 percent of the vote, compared to 47.9 percent for his opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, after counting about 99 percent of the ballot papers.


And he ran in the second round, Sunday, from a position of strength, after obtaining 49.5% of the vote, compared to 45% for his competitor Kilicdaroglu in the first round.


Neither imprisonment nor mass demonstrations nor even the coup attempt in 2016 succeeded in stopping the rise of the president. But he faced harsh criticism because of the state of the Turkish economy and the anger of the survivors of the devastating February 6th earthquake, who were left to fend for themselves in the first days after the disaster.


Erdogan brought about a profound transformation in Turkey through massive infrastructure projects that included the construction of highways, airports and mosques, and a foreign policy open to East and Central Asia at the expense of Ankara's traditional Western allies, whom he tried to court after he came to power.


Despite Western aversion towards him, the war in Ukraine allowed him to return to the forefront of the diplomatic scene thanks to his mediation efforts between Kiev and Moscow, in addition to his obstruction, about a year ago, of Sweden's entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).


However, Erdogan's opponents accuse him of authoritarian tendencies, especially after the coup attempt that took place in July 2016 and the constitutional amendments in 2017 that expanded his powers.


Erdogan is often portrayed in the West as a sultan clinging to the throne. But the man who is nostalgic for the Ottoman Empire and who built a palace of more than a thousand rooms in Ankara continues to present himself as a man of the people in the face of the "elites".


He relied on this image to win every election since his Justice and Development Party took power in 2002. But he faced political tremors, especially when the opposition deprived him of his parliamentary majority in 2015, and then took away the presidency of the municipalities of Ankara and Istanbul in 2019.


Although slow at times, Recep Tayyip Erdogan still manages to hold eight meetings in one day, displaying his rhetorical abilities, citing nationalist poems and Quranic verses to excite the crowds.


Erdogan was born in the popular Qasimpasa district of Istanbul and was looking forward to becoming a professional soccer player, which he practiced for a short time, before moving into politics.


He learned the origins of the political game within the Islamic movement that was led by Necmettin Erbakan, then he was pushed to the fore with his election as mayor of Istanbul in 1994.


In 1998, he was sentenced to imprisonment after he sang a religious poem, in an incident that contributed to strengthening his position.


He had the opportunity to take revenge when the Justice and Development Party, which he co-founded, won the 2002 elections. The following year he became prime minister and remained in this position until 2014 when he became the first Turkish president to be elected by direct universal suffrage.


Erdogan, who is married and has four children, remains, in the eyes of his supporters, the only one capable of "confronting" the West and steering the ship through regional and international crises.


But since large anti-government demonstrations were violently suppressed in the spring of 2013, Erdogan has become the figure facing the most criticism in Turkey.


The president faced the most severe test on the night of July 15-16, 2016, during a bloody coup attempt.


And imprinted in the mind the image of a pale-faced Erdogan, making an appeal to the people that night through a mobile phone screen, and then his triumphant arrival at the old Ataturk Airport in Istanbul at dawn, announcing the defeat of the putschists.

Türkiye in five points from Ataturk to Erdogan

Turkey is a Muslim country located at the crossroads between Europe and Asia and has been led since 2003 by the conservative Islamist Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is running a second round of the presidential elections on Sunday from a position of strength.

On October 29, 1923, after the fall of the Ottoman Empire during World War I, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk ("Father of the Turks") proclaimed the Republic of Turkey, which he led until his death in 1938.


Ataturk put Turkey on the path of rapid "Westernization" and included secularism among its founding principles with the abolition of the Caliphate and the abolition of religious education institutions.


The landslide victory in 2002 of the Justice and Development Party, emanating from the Islamic trend, ended an era of governmental instability, but it aroused great concern among circles adhering to secularism.


Recep Tayyip Erdogan, one of the party's founders, became prime minister in 2003 and then president in 2014. He came to power with a conservative Islamic project that recalls the glory of the sultans of the past.

Political life in Turkey witnessed three military coups, each of which was followed by harsh repression (1960, 1971 and 1980). The Turkish army, which considers itself a guarantor of secularism, forced the resignation of Islamist Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan, Erdogan's sponsor, who tightened his grip on the army as soon as he assumed power.


On July 15, 2016, Recep Tayyip Erdogan escaped a coup attempt that left 250 people dead and 1,500 injured. It was led by military personnel, but Erdogan accused the Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, who resides in the United States, of masterminding it, and launched an unprecedented purge during which tens of thousands of Kurdish soldiers, judges, intellectuals, journalists and dissidents were arrested.


In 2017, predominantly Sunni Turkey, with a population of 85 million, transitioned from a parliamentary system to a presidential system that greatly expanded the powers of the head of state.

Having become a leading regional power, Turkey has recently resumed its diplomatic relations with Israel, contacted Saudi Arabia, and moved closer to the United Arab Emirates. It is militarily involved in the conflicts in Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh and Syria.


Turkey has been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) since 1952, and it has the second largest army (numbers) among the alliance countries after the United States, with which it disagrees on a number of points, including Washington's support for the Syrian Kurdish militias and Ankara's acquisition of a Russian missile defense system.


Its relations with the European Union deteriorated after the coup attempt in 2016 and the subsequent authoritarian leanings of Erdogan.
Negotiations on Ankara's accession to the European Union are at an impasse.


On the other hand, since the start of the Russian war against Ukraine, Ankara has succeeded in maintaining good relations with Kiev and Moscow and has offered its mediation in the conflict between them.

In the first decade of Erdogan's rule, Turkey joined the group of twenty richest countries. The "economic miracle" man modernized the country by building airports, roads, bridges, hospitals and hundreds of thousands of homes.
However, in 2013, growth weakened due to the deteriorating international situation.


In the summer of 2018, the diplomatic crisis between Washington and Ankara and the lack of confidence in the market led to the collapse of the Turkish lira. Inflation reached 85 percent in October 2022, the highest level in 25 years.


The February 2023 earthquake killed at least fifty thousand people and caused damages exceeding $34 billion, exacerbating the economic crisis.

When it came to power in 2002, Erdogan's Justice and Development Party was popular with Turkey's largest minority Kurds, seeking a deal to end their armed struggle for autonomy.


But the failure of the talks in 2015 led to the resumption of the armed conflict between the Turkish state and the PKK. Ankara and its Western allies have included this group, which has waged an armed rebellion since 1984 that has killed tens of thousands of people, on the list of terrorist organizations.


Selahattin Demirtas, head of the largest pro-Kurdish formation, the Peoples' Democratic Party, has been imprisoned since the end of 2016 on charges of "terrorist propaganda".

"Digital stress" is an expanding threat in the workplace

Digital tools take up more space in the workplace as they assist employees in carrying out their tasks, but they also carry the risk of “digital fatigue”, as a recent study indicates that 31% of employees over-contact these services.


"E-mails, remote meeting tools, internal messaging, Internet access (...) All these tools have turned our lives upside down," said epidemiologist and former director general of health in France William Dabb this week during a conference entitled "Digital Pressure, an Emerging Threat". after".


"Can these tools, or rather the uses of these tools, turn against us?"


"What I find complicated since relatively recently, post-Covid and periods of closure, is the proliferation of channels, which means we no longer know the source" of the flow of messages, between e-mail and services Teams, WhatsApp, Zoom, and text messages.


This situation, he notes, "makes managing a torrent (digital services) tedious. It's like Russian puppets that have to be opened."


With remote working and "increasingly fragmented" regulation, "we're all day behind our screens," says Jerome, a banking executive who asked not to be named. Even in the office, video meetings follow "at breakneck speed", according to Jerome, who describes the situation as "exhausting".


According to Dabb, “we can talk about ‘digital stress’ when the amount of available information that we have to process exceeds our capacity,” and it is a topic that “takes up increasing space” under various names, including “information overload”, “digital hardship” or “technological stress”.


According to the epidemiologist, "the central phenomenon is 'excessive contact'", which can lead to "mental overload".


He refers to "a vicious circle with a kind of constant pressure that makes us move from one source of information to another", and the feeling at some point of "a loss of control". A state of psychological pressure that "reaches its maximum form to the stage of occupational exhaustion."


"As a physician, I analyze this as a new form of addiction," says William Dapp, whose consequences we still know little about, even if the consequences of stress are "well known".


And these consequences are not limited to the "mental" aspect, as these elements are associated with "increased risk of cardiovascular disease, risks related to the metabolism", as well as "immunological" effects.


Likewise, psychological stress reduces occupational performance, and while digital tools “opened the door to remote work, they also put us in a state of isolation,” according to Dapp, who says, “In short, these very useful tools for us can also affect health and the quality of life at work.” ".


To illustrate the "little data" on the subject, Dabb cites a study whose results were published in mid-May.


This study, which was supervised by the French Observatory for Information Dumping and Digital Cooperation, was conducted, in particular, by analyzing the e-mail messages of about nine thousand people continuously for two years.


Without claiming that it contains a statistical value given the small sample of companies (10), the results show that 31% of employees are exposed to excessive contact by sending emails after eight in the evening during more than 50 nights a year (117). night for managers).


In addition, more than 50% of emails are answered within an hour of receiving them, and these messages generate "a lot of digital noise", as 25% of the messages that employees receive are not addressed to them personally, but are sent through the "" Reply to all.


The study also measured periods of "complete focus" (one hour without sending emails). At the management level, these periods are only 11% per week (24% for managers and 42% for employees).


Dabb believes that this means a loss of "efficiency and depth of analysis," adding, "We may have reached the toxicity threshold."


But “it is still possible to act” in these cases, according to the epidemiologist, by limiting information to “what is really necessary”, by “keeping the screen off at certain times” or even through physical activities or relaxation.


The ultimate goal is "not to allow one to pawn oneself as hard drug users do".

German Championship: Bayern Munich snatches the eleventh title in a row at the expense of Dortmund

Bayern Munich snatched its eleventh consecutive title in the German Football League, denying Borussia Dortmund an end to its absolute dominance, by beating its host Cologne 2-1 with a fatal goal by Jamal Musiala, taking advantage of its rivals’ draw at home against Mainz 2-2 in the final 34th stage, Saturday.


Bayern finished the season in the lead, with only goal difference from Dortmund, after they tied on points (71), thus depriving the latter of its first title in the Bundesliga since 2012.


The title seemed to be on its way to Dortmund after Colin equalized 10 minutes before the end of the match against Bayern, but Musiala scored the winning goal in the 89th minute, amidst crazy celebrations.


Dortmund entered the closing day as a candidate to end the decade-long dominance of Bavarian, after it was two points ahead of him in the standings and needed a win to clinch the title.


But the beginning was disastrous for coach Edin Terzic's team, and strong for the Bavarian, which paved the way for a sad end for the Ruhr region team and the thirty-third title for Bayern in its history.


At Signal Iduna Park, the Norwegian Andreas Hantsche-Olsen opened the score for Mainz (15), and Ivory Coast's Sebastian Haller missed the opportunity to return by failing a penalty kick (19), before the Austrian Karim Onisiu added to the homeowners' tragedy with a second goal (24).


Simultaneously, Bayern advanced on Cologne with a wonderful goal by Frenchman Kingsley Coman (8).


In the second half, Portuguese Rafael Guerrero narrowed the deficit to Dortmund (69), while Colin equalized 10 minutes before the end of the match through Austrian Diane Lubicic from a penalty kick (81).


The news reached the Dortmund fans amid the joy of the yellow wall, but a magical moment from Musiala with a creeping shot with his right from outside the area towards the bottom left corner extinguished these celebrations in the Ruhr before Niklas Süle scored the second goal for Dortmund, who came late without enough time to add the third (90+ 6).


In Cologne, Bayern players turned around and watched Dortmund's score on captain Thomas Müller's phone before bursting into joy and running towards their visiting fans.


Dortmund missed an opportunity presented to him on a silver platter after he rose to the top in the last stage by defeating Augsburg 3-0 the day after Bayern lost 3-1 at home against Leipzig.


As for Bayern, after its season was threatened to end empty-handed for the first time since 2011-2012, it saved face with coach Thomas Tuchel, who succeeded Julian Nagelsmann in late March with a surprising decision after his predecessor was still competing for the treble.


"Football is just a sport, nothing fixed. We had to do our duty. If we're honest, this match perfectly reflects our comeback stage," said Bavarian club captain Thomas Müller, veteran striker, who became the most decorated player in the Bundesliga with 12 titles.


"The first title (in my career) is probably the one that has the most emotional impact, but in the 19 or 20 years of my career, this is the craziest," he added.


Bayern and its president, Herbert Hainer, announced, minutes after the coronation, the dismissal of its CEO, Oliver Kahn, and its Bosnian sports director, Hasm Salihamidzic, from their positions.


The two men paid the price for the Bavarian club's suffering at the end of the season, as it exited the quarter-finals of the German Cup and Champions League competitions, and saved its season by winning the Bundesliga, after betting on Nagelsmann's dismissal.


In the Ruhr, Dortmund started the match in the absence of Englishman Jude Bellingham, who remained on the bench for not recovering from injury, similar to captain Marco Royce, who entered at the end of the first half.


Even the most pessimistic could not have predicted a worse start for Dortmund at home, as they suffered only one defeat in the league all season before the last game.


Mainz advanced with a low header by Hanchy-Olsen, following a corner executed by Swiss Edmilson Fernandez towards the first post (15).


Dortmund had a golden opportunity to return to the match when Guerrero got a penalty kick after being blocked inside the area, but Haller hit a weak ball that was saved by goalkeeper Finn Gilbert Dahmen (19).


Dortmund's day turned into a nightmare after Onisio doubled his header in front of the goal in the absence of defensive control after a cross from South Korean Jae-Sung Lee on the left (24).


Terzic was forced to make an emergency substitution after Karim Adeyemi was injured and Royce entered (40).


With the start of the second half, the young striker Youssoufa Moukoko was pushed in, and later the American Giovanni Reina and the Belgian Julien Duravill (62).


Dortmund imposed absolute control over the course of the second half and succeeded in reaching the opponent's area on several occasions, but without effectiveness in front of the goal.


Reina's entry had an immediate impact, as he energized the attacking line and the hosts managed to reduce the deficit after the American exchanged the ball with Guerrero inside the area, before the latter fired into the net.


Dortmund players mastered successively wasting chances before Züle scored a late second goal in the final seconds with a shot from inside the area.


The excitement did not differ in the race for the last qualifying card for the Champions League between Freiburg and Union Berlin, which was the share of the latter after achieving a fatal victory over its guest Werder Bremen 1-0 in the 81st minute, while the first fell to Frankfurt 1-2 with two fatal goals for the latter in the 83rd minutes. and 90+1.


Onion, who finished fourth, three points behind Freiburg, will enter the Champions League for the first time in its history, depriving its former partner of achieving the same achievement.


Schalke joined Hertha Berlin to the second division, losing to Leipzig, the former guarantor, for his third place qualifying for the Champions League 2-4, so his balance froze at 31 points in the penultimate position.


Stuttgart finished in sixteenth place (33 points), with a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim, and will play a playoff with the third-placed team from the second division, back and forth, to determine the team that will compete in the Bundesliga next season.


Bochum escaped relegation by defeating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 as they finished the season with 35 points in 14th place.

The settlers' crimes will not undermine the steadfastness of our people

Jerusalem Hadith

Jerusalem Hadith

Opinion Writer


The attacks and crimes of herds of settlers against our people, our land, and our sanctities, cutting down trees, seizing lands, and expanding settlements, which are taking place with the protection of the occupation forces and with the support of the Israeli extremist and racist right-wing government, have become intolerable, especially since they target all Palestinians, including the Palestinians inside the country in 1948.


And all these crimes and violations that affect and affect people, trees and stones are taking place in front of the ears and eyes of the whole world, including the United States of America and Western countries, foremost of which are the colonial countries, which all claim democracy and human rights, but when it comes to violations and occupation crimes against our people, these countries do not Move a finger, on the contrary, it provides the occupying state with all the ingredients and encourages it to commit its crimes as long as this occupying state preserves Western interests in the Arab region in general and in Palestine in particular, which is considered the heart of the Arab world.


The aim of the occupation escalation in crimes is to push settler herds to commit their heinous acts, which reflect blind hatred and abhorrent racism, is to push our people to leave their land so that the occupying state and settler herds can empty the land of its people to fully control it without the presence of Palestinians on it, even though they are the original and real owners of the land and the country.


The occupying state and its herds of settlers are taking advantage of the internal Palestinian division and impunity, the international community's tolerance of it and the American and Western defense of it in order to implement policies of more domination and more crimes against our people and everything related to it in this country, which has been Palestinian since eternity.


In the face of this bitter reality that the occupied Palestinian territory is witnessing, and in front of the Palestinian weakness, whether official or by all factions of national and Islamic action, our people have no choice but to continue steadfastness and self-reliance in the face of the flocks of settlers supported by the occupation forces that help them and cover up their crimes, and even participate in this. crimes.


Here, it is necessary to reaffirm the re-formation of the guard committees and their support with youth elements around the clock, to repel the attacks and crimes of the settlers, whom the occupying state considers the first line of defense for the occupying state and in confronting the Palestinians.


The guard committees are, at the current stage, the only way to thwart the goals of the settler herds and the occupation forces, to undermine the steadfastness of our people and force them to leave their land, which the occupying state falsely and falsely considers to be Jewish in the largest process of falsification of facts and history, but this matter will not last long. He made great sacrifices, and he is still making more of them on the altar of his national cause. He will defeat all these liquidation goals and projects and force the occupation to leave his land sooner or later.

The Wisdom of the Beehive: Teamthink and Strategic Thinking!

Dr.. Dalal Saeb Erekat

Dr.. Dalal Saeb Erekat

Opinion Writer

In strategic planning processes, we usually find a team of experts and specialists around the advisors’ table. Strategic planning needs to be accompanied by strategic thinking. Thinking strategically means not only focusing on the long term, but also linking your future vision and dreams with factors of reality and analyzing the surrounding environment from strengths. Weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and linking them to the way that enables you to overcome challenges and obstacles in order to achieve future goals. The less certainty, the greater the need for strategic thinking and planning.


The strategic decision is not the future decision, the strategic decision is the decision you take today and it will have a great impact in the future!
Strategic thinking does not necessarily mean group thinking. When Irving Janis of the prestigious Yale University was asked about team thinking, he said: Group thinking = inauthentic thinking!


Collective thinking is usually very homogeneous, coherent, harmonious, and creates immunity from external or different ideas! Thus, original and different thinking is isolated, which makes it lose the standards of balanced judgments that accept difference, and therefore collective thinking may be dangerous if we want to think strategically.


Thomas Seeley of Harvard University looks at "The Wisdom of the Beehive" to answer how many thousands of bees work together as an integrated unit to collect the nectar, pollen and water that sustains the life of the hive. Seeley highlights colonies, which are perfectly organized social structures in which each individual performs a different task and all tasks are synchronized in order to produce the best and finest honey. In our human world, we all depend on each other and belong to social circles that become part of our identity. However, what distinguishes beehive behavior from human behavior is that a person may become a working duplicate of another individual, or one of us may depend on the other to the point that he loses his responsibility Individualism in being part of the change, especially if it drowns in promoting the concepts of team work and collective thinking, which in fact depends on the minds of some of the leading individuals in the groups and not others. Collective consciousness is reflected in the hive mentality, as it is similar to the behavior of social insects, where a group of people realize their common denominators and think as one community, so the person has a strong tendency for the collective decision-making process just like the beehive mentality, where the individual feels that he is in the circle of safety as he is with the group.


The term hive mind was coined by science fiction writer James H. Schmitz in his short story, Second Night of Summer. His idea of the hive mind relates to the way a colony of bees behaves, as if directed by the intelligence of a single individual.


Strategic thinking refers to the availability of the capabilities and skills necessary to make future predictions with the possibility of formulating strategies and making decisions adapted to the environment to win most competitive positions in light of limited resources.


The strategic leader must have the following skills: foreseeing the future, challenging preconceived assumptions, the ability to analyze, the ability to make appropriate decisions in difficult times, the participation of others and the willingness to learn continuously.


Specialists in a specific field usually think in a similar way, which does not guarantee the existence of space for different points of view, i.e. "knowledge diversity" resulting from a multidisciplinary brainstorming process that develops critical thinking and creativity.


In order for strategic thinking to be achieved, groups must enjoy social intelligence, as knowledge varies among group members, participation and options vary, and differences are respected in the light of independence and impartiality in evaluating the opinions of group members. The scientific result of the research of Scott Page from the University of Michigan states that the meeting of experts from different fields achieves results that are superior to the production of a team of specialists in a specific field only!

Netanyahu suffers from "political delusion"

Dr.. Hayne Akkad

Dr.. Hayne Akkad

Opinion Writer

The distraught Netanyahu wants to appear before the Israelis as a symbol of the modern Zionist movement through his pursuit to achieve the project of a purely national Zionist state on the entire Palestinian land. The extreme right, not many writers or analysts analyzed the personality of this distressed person, who considers himself the heir of (Ben-Gurion) and seeks to write history about him more than the Zionist terrorists who committed hundreds of massacres against the Palestinian people and the Arab peoples alike. What is interesting and new about the personality of this distressed person recently is that he appeared to the public without any fear of being accused of being in an unrealistic state of murderous imagination, which we call "political delusion", which led him to think outside the limits of the possible and his belief that he could, through military force and the alleged long hand, achieve all his fantasies. And shaping reality according to his sick whims and racism, which is part of the policy pursued by his government since it was sworn in before the Knesset at the end of December last year.

Netanyahu has a false awareness of history, and he denies the historical facts that confirm the Palestinian people's possession of the land of Palestine for tens of thousands of years. He does not care about these facts and considers them merely historical fabrications made by the Arabs. And the rabbis of religious movements without regard to reality or objectivity in thought. A deadly illusion, a false ideology, an ideology of hatred and the anti-Semitism complex also dominate many of those who surround Netanyahu, but it seems that he is the most affected by this deadly disease, which depicts him as possessing power and must be possessed forever, even if at the expense of the disintegration of Israeli society and therefore the state, and this is what It was revealed by the Israeli opposition, which mobilized the Israeli street in the tens of thousands in the form of protests to restore the state from the hands of a group of extremists and to save democracy, which is taking its last breath due to dozens of Israeli laws that the ruling right-wing coalition is trying to legislate to enable this fascist right to run all state institutions and hire them to serve it and its audience. .

Recently, Netanyahu made a very dangerous statement about the city of Jerusalem, and in an event that is the first of its kind in years, during a meeting of his far-right, fascist government in one of the tunnels adjacent to Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem. Jerusalem and impose sovereignty over it and it is now unified as the capital of this occupier. Netanyahu said, "The city of Jerusalem has been unified for more than 56 years, but the struggle for its unity has not ended yet!", referring to his government's pursuit of more Judaizing and extremist measures to complete the conquest of Jerusalem and resolve its issue completely But he used this occasion to tell the Israelis, "This government of his is the only one capable of achieving the unity of Jerusalem and the security of the Israelis in parallel." What confirms that this man suffers from a state of "political delusion" is that he sent a letter to (President Mahmoud Abbas) Abu Mazen, following his recent speech at the United Nations on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly's commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, in which he said, "The Jews have nothing to do with Jerusalem." Netanyahu claimed, "The Jews existed in this land 3,000 years ago, and that the meeting of his government in this place confirms Israel's connection to the Holy City." Rather, he went further than this imagination by saying, "Jerusalem is the capital of Israel before Washington was the capital of America and London was the capital of Britain."

The state of "political delusion" that Netanyahu suffers from is the main driver of all cases of hostility and hatred towards the Palestinians, which are systematic for the operations of killing, demolitions, settlements, and the haste to resolve the issue of the Palestinian political presence in the West Bank by dismantling and granting the Palestinians autonomy, which is a number of cantons with rulers that report directly to the Israeli authority, and thus It destroys the principle of the two-state solution and undermines all the basic references for the process of ending the conflict peacefully. Perhaps the deadly "political illusion" that Netanyahu suffers from is the one that complicates the conflict, prolongs its duration, and perpetuates the state of insecurity and instability in the entire region. An alleged peace with some Arab countries and leaving the real circle of conflict with the Palestinians open is one of the serious symptoms of this situation that takes him away from reality and even does not recognize it and makes him live in a state of delusion based on imagination that is not connected to any of the real foundations of reality. The complexity of the situation that Netanyahu suffers from makes him also use force to harm others, and here we must focus on the state of escalation in the confrontation with the Palestinians and the use of fire and gunpowder against them. The best evidence of this is the recent war on Gaza and the heinous attack on the cities of the West Bank that his army launched in an impossible attempt To restore security and calm by force.

Restoring Netanyahu to a state of awareness and political balance requires balanced and real international intervention in the first place to pressure him to stop his use of force to achieve the purely national Jewish state and thus eliminate the possibility of peaceful coexistence in Palestine, and even exposes all paths of peace to real danger, including the paths of relations with some Arab countries because they are paths that are not Real and based on the illusion of the "Abrahamic peace" only, which seemed to be revealed to everyone and was heading towards retreat and fading away from reality and the truth. The Israeli people aspiring for real peace and the strong opposition and left in the first place are required to dismantle this crazy coalition that gives all powers to a man with a fatal disease that pushes him to risk the future of his people and the future of his acceptance among the peoples of the region in the first place, as well as the future of security and stability based on a just and comprehensive peace that grants equal rights to all From the Palestinian and Israeli peoples in two independent states connected to the outside world geographically and politically, and to end all racist policies that the free world considers crimes against humanity.
