The Israeli occupation forces continue, for the fifth consecutive day, to tighten their military measures at the Hamra checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley .

Local sources reported that the occupation soldiers at the checkpoint stopped the citizens' vehicles and searched them thoroughly, and checked the identity cards of the passengers, which caused a suffocating traffic jam.

Joe Biden will visit Northern Ireland on Wednesday, where he will try to encourage dialogue, while political paralysis prevails and the atmosphere is tense.

Belfast constitutes the first stop of this visit, which then takes a more emotional curve, as the US President heads on Wednesday afternoon to the Republic of Ireland, where he spends two days following in the footsteps of his ancestors on his mother's side.

While awaiting his arrival, he repeated before boarding the US presidential plane that his priority lies in "keeping the peace", which the parties reached with difficulty 25 years ago.

Monday's violence in the border city of Londonderry came as a reminder that the wounds had not yet healed.

The United States actively participated in the negotiations that led to the agreement, which was signed on April 10, 1998. This "Good Friday" agreement put an end to decades-long confrontations between Unitarians, who are overwhelmingly Protestant, and Republicans, most of whom are Catholics.

The 80-year-old Democratic president does not intend to remain idle in the face of the institutional paralysis that struck this British territory more than a year ago.
The functioning of the self-governing joint institutions in Northern Ireland, which is one of the gains of the peace agreement, is suspended due to the refusal of the Democratic Unionist Party, the main Unionist party, to participate in them.

And Joe Biden will have the opportunity on Wednesday to “meet the leader of each of the five major political parties” in the region, to deliver a speech at the University of Belfast, according to what the White House said.

But the White House was keen to say that the meeting "will not be formal."

It will not be easy for the Democratic president to influence the Unitarians who remain wary of this Catholic president, who is very proud of his Irish roots.

"Northern Ireland is not really important to Biden," said one of the most prominent leaders of the Democratic Unionist Party, Ian Paisley.
Biden, who will also meet with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, arrives with a "double message", according to what John Kirby, spokesman for the US National Security Council, said Tuesday.

Joe Biden wants to "congratulate" first on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the peace agreements, and he also wants to talk about the future and adopt "economic and trade policies that are in the interest of all groups."

Washington seeks, in particular, to bring the institutions out of paralysis. This requires removing the DUP's rejection of measures on the very sensitive land border situation with the Republic of Ireland after the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union.

After his lightning visit to Britain, Joe Biden begins the personal and family part of his visit.

Biden, who had previously visited Ireland when he was US Vice President, praises his Irish origins after his ancestors immigrated to the United States in the nineteenth century in search of a better life.

The White House was keen to detail the president's family tree for reporters and provide a series of funny details about the president's ancestors.

The US President seeks to turn the visit into a political platform, as he intends to run for elections in 2024.
He wants to prove to the frustrated middle class that the "American dream" is still possible, while emphasizing that he comes from a humble working family.

Biden plans to visit two Irish towns that genealogy experts say his great-grandparents came from: Louth and Mayo.
In the small town of Ballina, located in the northwest, American flags have been spread around a mural that has adorned a local bar since Biden won the presidential elections in the United States.

Between the two stops, the US President will visit Dublin, which will include bilateral meetings and a speech to parliamentarians.

The US space agency ( NASA ) unveiled on Tuesday a house that appears at first glance ordinary, but in reality it will host, starting next June, four people who will quarantine themselves in it for more than a year to simulate life on Mars .

The house, called "Mars without Alpha," was built at the NASA Research Center in Houston, Texas.
The stay of the four people in this house is intended to prepare for a future trip to the Red Planet.

By measuring their performance and cognitive abilities, the agency will get a clearer picture of the "resources" that should be provided to participants in the ambitious Mars mission, said Grace Douglas, CHAPEA program manager who oversees the experiment.

She explained that defining the requirements is critical because there are "limited to the weight of what can be sent on these missions".

The 160 sqm home includes four bedrooms, an exercise room, a vertical vegetable farm, an operating room, a relaxation area and work points.

A covered passage leads to a section where the Martian environment has been recreated. On its red sand floor there is a weather station, a brick making machine, a small greenhouse, and a treadmill.

Susan Bell, responsible for the agency's "Behavioral Health and Performance Laboratory" program, said that this device allows participants to make an effort similar to what physical activity requires on Mars, in terms of movement, collection of samples and information, as well as construction.

The agency did not announce the names of the volunteers who will participate in the test, but it is known that they will not be astronauts. They will face constant pressure, for example, in terms of rationing water use or equipment breakdowns.

The house is also distinguished by the fact that it was built using 3D printing technology, which is “one of the technologies that NASA is studying to adopt to build housing on the surface of other planets or the moon,” according to Grace Douglas.

The US Space Agency is preparing to send a mission to Mars on a mission that will last for several years, but it will not happen soon, but rather "at the end of the thirties of the current century," according to NASA President Bill Nelson.

The International Monetary Fund predicted that Ukraine's economy will decline by 3 percent this year compared to a contraction of 30.3 percent in 2022, the Ukrainian government-run news agency Ukrinform reported on Tuesday, citing a recent IMF report.

The International Monetary Fund said in its World Economic Outlook report that inflation in Ukraine will rise slightly, with consumer prices rising by 21.1 percent this year, compared to 20.2 percent in 2022.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate decreased to 20.9 percent in 2023 compared to 24.5 percent in 2022, according to the report.

Earlier this month, the World Bank predicted that Ukraine's GDP would increase by 0.5 percent this year.

According to preliminary estimates of the Ukrainian government, the country's economy will decline by 29.2 percent in 2022.

The head of “Twitter” Elon Musk is seeking a project for the network in the field of artificial intelligence , according to an article published by “Insider”, after the billionaire was among the signatories last month on an appeal to temporarily stop research on this advanced technology.

And “Insider” quoted unnamed sources as saying that Musk recently bought about ten thousand graphics processors, and that the “Twitter” project for artificial intelligence includes a language tool.

These tools, whose learning is based on a large amount of data, can generate all kinds of text and answer user questions through programs such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Cool.

"Insider" indicated that Musk, who has dismissed thousands of Twitter employees since his acquisition of the platform in October, has hired artificial intelligence specialists in return.

Among them, for example, Igor Babushkin and Manuel Kroes, who worked for the "DeepMind" laboratory for artificial intelligence within the "Alphabet" group, the owner of "Google".

And the specialized “The Information” website previously reported at the end of last February that the head of “Tesla”, “SpaceX” and “Twitter” is trying to form a team to compete with “Open AI”, which caused a sensation with the success of the “ChatGB” chatbot. T that I created.

Agence France-Presse has not yet received any answers from Igor Babushkin and the Twitter media department for its inquiries regarding this information.

All the tech giants, from Microsoft to Snapchat, as well as a number of startups, are investing in generative AI.

However, the adoption of this technology and its high-speed progress raises many concerns at the same time, especially since the head of “Open AI” Sam Altman talked about reaching in the next stage the so-called “general” artificial intelligence, which is programs that are “smarter than humans” in general. .

At the end of last March, hundreds of academics, heads of companies and personalities, including Musk and the head of Stability AI, a competitor to OpenAI, Imad Moustak, signed a petition calling for a six-month cessation of research to find more powerful artificial intelligence techniques than Chat. GPT4, released by OpenAI.

They expressed their fear of the "great dangers this technology poses to humanity," and asked: "Is it intended to develop non-human souls that could eventually outnumber us in terms of numbers and intelligence and replace us?"

Musk co-founded Open AI in 2015, before leaving the company in 2018. Since 2019, Microsoft has been the main financier of the startup, which is based in California.

Russia announced that it had successfully test-fired an "advanced" intercontinental ballistic missile , weeks after it suspended its participation in the latest nuclear arms control pact with the United States .

The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that "a combat crew successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from a mobile ground-based missile system" from the test site in Kapustin Yar on Tuesday.

"The warhead of the missile hit an imaginary target at the Sary-Shagan training ground (Kazakhstan) with specific accuracy," the statement added.

Since sending troops to Ukraine last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued veiled warnings that he might use nuclear weapons there if Russia is endangered.

Putin announced at the end of February that Moscow would suspend its participation in the New START treaty, under which Russia and the United States agreed to limit nuclear stockpiles and undergo mutual inspections.

Less than three weeks ago, Putin said he would deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring and ally Belarus, bringing these weapons to the European Union's doorstep.

NATO condemned the two ads.

The Russian Defense Ministry did not specify the type of missile used in the launch on Tuesday, but stated that the aim of the test was "to test advanced combat equipment for intercontinental ballistic missiles."

She added that this "launch allowed to validate the design department and the technical solutions used in the development of new strategic missile systems."

Putin said in February that a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile would be deployed this year, after US information that a new launch failed.

The missile "Sarmat" - which Western analysts called "Satan 2" (Satan 2) is capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads. It is one of Russia's next-generation missiles, which Putin described as "invincible".

Former US President Donald Trump pledged, in a television interview, to "never withdraw" from the race for the White House despite criminal charges being brought against him, stressing that President Joe Biden is not eligible to run again.

Trump, who faces 34 criminal charges in New York in the case of paying money to buy a pornographic actress's silence, said there was nothing stopping him from running until "conviction".

"I will never quit," he told Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, stressing, "It's not in my nature. I don't do it."

Trump, 76, in his first major media appearance since appearing in court last week, questioned the ability of the 80-year-old Biden to fight for re-election in 2024.

"I don't see how that is possible," he said, adding, "It's not about age (...) I don't think he's capable of it."

"I don't see Biden being able to do that, either physically or mentally. I don't see that," he continued.

Trump and other senior Republicans regularly question Biden's mental state and apparent weakness.
Right-wing media such as Fox News frequently highlight Biden's slips and moments when Sharda appears to have lost focus.

During Trump's tenure, the "Fox" network was an open platform for the former president to express his views, to the extent that he would appear on its programs without warning and speak at length if he needed to comment on something.

The relationship between the former president and the channel was strained after Trump's defeat by Biden in 2020, but it returned to regain its heat with the intensification of competition for the Republican presidential nomination.

The interview, the second part of which is expected to be broadcast on Wednesday, comes after weeks of text messages circulating in which Carlson speaks disparagingly of Trump after losing the election.

The messages were revealed as part of a $1.6 billion lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Rupert Murdoch's Fox News over its coverage of Trump's allegations of fraud in the 2020 election.

"We're so close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I really can't wait," says one of the text messages Carlson sent two days before the Capitol stormed.

Another message reads, "I hate him so much," but the messages were not addressed during the interview.

March saw US small business optimism decline for the 15th consecutive month, amid concerns about record inflation and rising interest rates.

March was the 15th consecutive month that the National Federation of Independent Business' small business optimism index was below the nearly 50-year average, which was 98.

Although the March stat was 90.1, down from February's 90.9, by a small percentage, it was still below healthy levels.

In this context, the National Confederation of Independent Business said, "Although the economic outlook continues to deteriorate, the expected widespread recession is not yet apparent."

He added, “The growth in the fourth quarter decreased to 2.6 percent, and the accumulation of inventories accounted for 60 percent of the total growth.

Weak residential construction also reduced the growth rate by an estimated 1.2 percentage points, and it will remain in the negative trend during the first quarters. Meanwhile, hiring plans fell to their lowest level since May 2020.

As a result, some of the smaller companies expressed concern about a banking crisis, after the implications of the recent collapse of the Silicon Valley bank hit regional banks.

A recent study prepared by Dr. Azmy Abu Al-Saud drew attention to the distinguished association of Jerusalemite groups and families since the occupation of the city in 1967, with their association with occupied Jerusalem of a more ideological nature, and the protection of the sanctities from the control of the Israeli occupation.

Abu Al-Saud told Al-Quds.com that the study proves, with numbers and statistics, the arrival of groups from other Palestinian cities to fill the gap that occurred for the emigration and displacement of Jerusalemites outside the country and their settlement in it, adaptation, integration and solidarity that brings together national and social cohesion.

He added: "The concentration of Palestinians in the neighborhoods of the Old City in order to get closer to the Islamic and Christian sanctities and to prevent the Jews from seizing them. The heterogeneity between the groups is due to the cultural and religious conflict, which results in more tension and violence directed at both parties (Jews and Arabs) in the city of Jerusalem."

The study warned of the seizure of parts of the holy environment by Jewish extremist groups and the establishment of synagogues inside the Old City. He said that this is a continuation of what the occupation authorities did in the seizure of the honor lane by extremist groups after demolishing it and displacing its residents, as they changed its Arab features to landmarks of a religious and Jewish nature in addition to growth. urban in it.

The study dealt with the process of expanding settlements and outposts inside and around the Old City. Abu Saud said: "The occupation authorities have expanded their land grabs and expanded their neighborhoods for the influx of Jews and settlers to bridge the gaps in the area, thus forming a city with a national character for the Jews."

The population density in the center of the city worked to expand the neighboring Arab neighborhoods, as it worked to weaken social solidarity and social relations between members of the Arab groups (Islam and Christians).

He added: "The functional structure of the community differs from one area to another in Jerusalem, due to the different shape of the buildings and the environment in which the area is characterized in terms of overpopulation and its natural environment."

And Abu Al-Saud indicated that West Jerusalem is characterized by the most natural environment, and this reflects on the behavior of individuals in it with calmness and relative stability. As for East Jerusalem, its natural features differed due to the expansion and growth of urban overcrowding, and this reflects on their behavior and the interaction of its members with violence.

In the third axis of the study, which came under the title of economic and social differences and their impact on the relations between the groups of the city, Abu Al-Saud said the interpretation of the data, the economic differences between the groups of Jews and Palestinian Arabs, is through the ownership and control of Jews over all industrial and agricultural facilities in Jerusalem, and the standard of living for the Jewish individual is higher From the standard of living of the individual compared to the Jerusalemite citizen, and the establishment of commercial and technological projects for the Jews in an organized manner, but for the Arab Jerusalemites, this is difficult because of the legal and arbitrary measures.

Also, West Jerusalem is of a vital commercial nature and continuous urban growth, while East Jerusalem is of a tourist nature due to the presence of sanctuaries, which is based on the recovery of the region from the tourism movement, in addition to the connection of the economic situation of the Jerusalemite citizen to the "state", and members of the Jewish groups work in The commercial and political sectors and other high positions in the “state.” As for Maqdisi, he works in the public sector as a salaried employee or as a shopkeeper. Added to this are the low wages in the commercial sector in commercial Jerusalem compared to those in West Jerusalem.

In addition to this, the Jew or the Jewish groups own the land and the ease of purchasing and working on its urban and vital growth in it. As for the Jerusalemites, it is difficult to own and establish any private projects. In East Jerusalem, many economic and commercial institutions and establishments have emigrated outside its borders. Approximately 78% of the city's population lives below the poverty line.

Until the early morning hours of Wednesday, the Israeli army refused to hand over the bodies of the two martyrs, Saud al-Titi and Muhammad Abu Dira' , after they were killed in Deir al-Hatab, east of Nablus .

According to informed sources, efforts were made by the competent authorities to recover the bodies of the two martyrs, but the occupation forces insisted on detaining them and refused to hand them over.

Yesterday, the Israeli army claimed that the two martyrs, who are residents of Balata camp , carried out a shooting attack towards the Elon Moreh settlement, east of Nablus, and that its forces ambushed the place before they were liquidated.

According to the Ministry of Health, 98 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the year from the West Bank, Gaza Strip and occupied Jerusalem.

In addition to these martyrs, the two young men, Muhammad al-Osaibi and Yusef Abu Jaber, from the occupied territories, raises the number to 100.

The Canadian "Citizen Lab" revealed that a new Israeli spy program similar to the notorious " Pegasus " program was used to target journalists and opposition politicians in several countries.

The laboratory, which deals with cyberspace , global security and human rights, said that the new program was designed by a little-known Israeli company called "Quadream Limited", founded by a former Israeli military official and former veteran employees of the "NSO" company that produced "Pegasus".

Citizen Lab, which monitors misuse of modern electronic devices, has identified at least five people who have been targeted by the Quadream program in North America, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

He added that the list of victims includes "journalists, opposition political figures, and a worker in a non-governmental organization," but he preferred not to announce their identities at the present time.

Spyware programs such as Pegasus have previously been widely used by governments and other agencies to spy on dissidents, the media and activists.

The White House said in late March that governments had used Pegasus to "facilitate repression and enable human rights abuses."

"Citizen Lab" said that the "Quadream" program, after placing it on the user's phone or personal computer, can record calls and external sounds, take pictures from cameras, and search in device files without the user's knowledge.

The program can also generate two-factor authentication codes, that is, a password and a security code, to secure continuous access to the device owner's cloud accounts.

Citizen Lab added that the spyware includes a self-destruct feature to hide its previous existence once it is no longer in use.

Citizen Lab identified servers in 10 countries that received data from victims' devices, including Israel, Singapore, Mexico, the UAE and Bulgaria.

He said that the company "Quadream" marketed spyware it produces to government clients in Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Ghana, Indonesia, Morocco and others.

Manchester City of England and Inter of Italy have come a long way towards the semi-finals of the European Champions League competition, after the first beat its strong guest Bayern Munich 3-0 and the second beat its Portuguese host Benfica 2-0 on Tuesday in the first leg of the quarter-finals.

In Manchester, City and its Spanish coach, Josep Guardiola, knew how to deal with Bayern and its new coach, Thomas Tuchel, and the Premier League champion will play the second leg on Wednesday with great comfort against a team coming from eight victories in eight matches he played in the group stage and the final price, including against Inter and Paris Saint-Germain. .

City owes the big victory to the Spaniard Rodri (27), the Portuguese Bernardo Silva (70) and the Norwegian Erling Haaland (76), who scored the three goals.

And this confrontation pitted Guardiola against the team he supervised from 2013 to 2016, with whom he won the German League title three times and the Club World Cup.

Guardiola also stood up to Tuchel, who was denied continental glory in the 2021 final when he was at the head of the technical management of Chelsea (1-0).

The Spanish coach said, "It was a difficult match, and I liked the football quality of the Bayern players, and they showed courage and strength on the field, and during some periods they were better than us, but we were lucky and that beautiful goal by Rodri relieved us a lot, and we suffered after some minutes passed in the second half, and we rested after the second goal. The result is beautiful." It is acceptable and the performance was convincing, and we must be careful because there is a second leg."

The start came quickly, with a relative advantage in favor of City, but without any real chances, until the solution came in the 27th minute from Spaniard Rodri with a wonderful left arc shot from outside the area, with which I settled the ball in the upper right corner of the Swiss goalkeeper Jan Sommer.

City was close to adding the second through German Ilkay Gundogan, but Sommer excelled in defending his goal (34), before the field advantage passed at the end of the first half in favor of Bayern without effect.

Bayern started the second half strongly, and former City player Leroy Sanneh tested his luck from outside the area, but Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson was on the lookout for him (46), then the scene was repeated seconds later after a quick counterattack, and the Brazilian goalkeeper was on time again with the help of Dutchman Nathan Ake (49).

And Sanneh returned to collide again with the brilliance of Ederson (54), who also had to intervene to clear the ball from under the crossbar, after a cross was turned by one of his defenders (55).

City responded by trying to make Sommer shine in blocking it (57), then the Swiss intervened again in the face of a shot by Portuguese Robin Dias (58).

As the minutes progressed, Bayern tightened its grip on the course of the match and forced its host to retreat to the defense, coinciding with the entry of Sadio Mane instead of Jamal Musiala from the side of the guests and the Argentine Julien Alvares instead of the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne from the opposite side.

But this advantage was not fruitful, but the goal came from the opposite side after a fatal mistake by Upamecano in front of Jack Grealish, who snatched the ball and passed it to Haaland, who crossed it to reach Bernardo Silva to head it into the net (70).

Silva himself was close to adding the third, but Sommer was on time this time before he bowed after a few seconds in front of Halland, who received the ball with a header pass from John Stones, so he pounced on it and turned it into the Sommer net (76).

The 22-year-old raised his score to 34 goals in the 26 matches he played so far in the Champions League, including 11 this season in which his total number of goals reached 45, making him the first player from the Premier League to reach this number during one season, according to “Opta” statistics. .

Alvares was close to the fourth goal with a long shot, but Sommer blocked it this time (82), then he shone again in blocking Rodri's header (87).

In Lisbon, Inter cut more than half the way towards reaching the round of four for the first time in 13 years, thanks to the two goals scored by Nicolas Barella (51) and Belgian substitute Romelu Lukaku (82 from a penalty kick) against host Benfica, who brought back the memory of the 1965 final when the team was crowned. The Italian won its second title in a row, with a 1-0 victory.

With this victory, Inter became a strong candidate to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2010, when it won the third title in its history after 1964 and 1965.

Benfica was the better party in the first half, but without much danger to Cameroonian goal Andre Onana, before the guests woke up in the second half and scored two expensive goals.

The first and most dangerous opportunity in the match was a powerful shot by Rafa Silva from close range, which was removed by goalkeeper Onana before the defense dispersed it (16).

Joao Mario hit a ball "on the fly" from inside the area, which passed near the right post (19).

Francesco Acerbi responded with a powerful shot from 25 meters high, a few centimeters high (25).

Inter surprised its host at the beginning of the second half by opening the scoring with a header from close range to Barella, following a cross pass by Alessandro Bastoni (51).

Greek goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodemos saved his goal from a second goal by blocking the Armenian international, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, from close range (66).

Spanish defender Alejandro Grimaldo almost equalized with a powerful shot from inside the area that hit Dutch defender Denzel Demphris and turned into a corner that did not bear fruit (73).

Barella tried his luck with a powerful shot from outside the area that passed near the right post (74), and a header by Dumfries from close range bounced off the goalkeeper and was dispersed by the defense (78).

Inter got a penalty kick after a handball on Joao Mario after a cross pass to Demphris (79), so substitute Lukaku crawled to the left of the goalkeeper (82).

Al-Sadd crossed into the semi-finals of the Emir of Qatar Football Cup by defeating Umm Salal 3-1 on Tuesday in the quarter-finals.

Hassan Al-Haidous (51), Akram Afif (56) and Moroccan Ayoub Al-Kaabi (90 + 3) scored the goals of Al-Sadd, and Jordanian Yassin Al-Bakhit (82) scored the goal of Umm Salal.

Al-Zaeem completed the title in 18 terms by holding the qualifiers to the quarter-finals, setting a date on April 24, with Al-Shahaniya, the qualifier, at the expense of Al-Gharafa 4-3 on penalties (original and extra time 3-3) on Sunday.

In the second semi-final scheduled for the current 25th, Al-Arabi, who qualified at Muaither’s expense 2-0, will meet on Saturday with Al-Sailiya, who eliminated Al-Duhail, the defending champion, 5-4, with a penalty shootout (regular and extra time 2-2) on Monday.

Despite the defensive efficiency of the team of Moroccan coach Talal Al-Karkouri in the first half, Al-Sadd was more effective in the second half, as the scoring began with a set-piece that was executed by Commander Al-Haydos in a wonderful way (51), before Afif secured the result with the second goal after he took advantage of a pass from Moroccan Ayoub Al-Kaabi (57). ).

Umm Salal revived his hopes of returning to the match when Al-Bakhit reduced the score, taking advantage of Elias Hamid’s pass (82), but he received a painful blow by expelling his Moroccan player, Adel Al-Rahili (87), so Al-Sadd took advantage of the deficiency and scored the third goal through Al-Kaabi after a pass from Algeria’s Baghdad Bounedjah (90 + 3). ).

Today, Tuesday, King Abdullah II urged the international community to stand against measures that undermine the historical and legal status quo in the holy sites in Jerusalem and incite violence in the Palestinian territories.

In joint press statements with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida , the Jordanian monarch stressed the urgent need to stop all unilateral measures that violate the existing historical and legal status of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

He stressed, in the presence of His Highness Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, the Crown Prince, that "this is a prerequisite for stopping the dangerous escalation, working towards calm, and creating a political horizon that would preserve the chances of a just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution."

"Let us all remember that peace between Palestinians and Israelis is an integral part of prosperity and peace for the entire region and all its peoples," he said, expressing his thanks to the Prime Minister for Japan's clear position in this regard.

The Jordanian monarch referred to Japan's leading voice in calling for peace in the Middle East, especially through the "Corridor for Peace and Prosperity" initiative.

For his part, the Japanese Prime Minister shared the Jordanian monarch's concern about the situation in the Palestinian territories during their discussion of the latest developments in the Middle East.

Kishida called for exercising restraint and stopping unilateral measures that undermine the two-state solution, in order to avoid a further deterioration in the situation.

The American “Axios” website revealed that the administration of US President Joe Biden has tried to reassure Israeli officials in recent days that Washington is committed to its security relationship with Israel, after it appears that the details contained in a group of alleged secret Pentagon documents that were leaked on social media indicate The United States has spied on some of its closest allies, including Israel, two Israeli officials said.

It is reported that the leak, which also included sensitive details from the US-Israel consultations, could have major ramifications for the extensive intelligence sharing between Israel and the US, especially if Israeli secrets are at risk of being shared due to any kind of security breach.

According to the site, US officials acknowledged that at least some of the documents appear to be real intelligence assessments drawn up by the Pentagon, but officials also warned that some information contained in the documents appeared to have been "tampered" and the US Department of Justice had opened an investigation into the leak.

One of the top secret documents that was leaked contained a short passage about Israel and the alleged involvement of Mossad officials in protests against the government's judicial reform.

According to the Washington Post, the document said that in February senior Mossad members called on agency employees and Israeli citizens to protest, "including several explicit calls to action that would condemn the Israeli government."

The document also stated that this assessment was based on signals intelligence, which indicated that US intelligence agencies were spying on their Israeli counterparts.

Axios says that the Israeli prime minister's office issued a statement on behalf of the Mossad denying any involvement of the agency in the protest.

And according to Axios, "the statement said that" the report published by the American newspapers at night is false and unfounded, and that the Mossad and its senior officials did not and did not encourage members of the apparatus to join the demonstrations against the government, political demonstrations, or any political activity.

And the site adds: “Another highly classified document that was leaked and seen by Axios contained an American intelligence analysis of Israeli policy regarding military aid to Ukraine and stressed that American pressure could push Israel to provide more military assistance to Kiev.

The document, first reported by The New York Times, contained sensitive details of US-Israeli deliberations on the campaign of air strikes against Iran in Syria and Israel's concerns about Russian-Iranian military cooperation.

Today, Tuesday, the Minister of Agriculture, Riyad Attari , discussed with the Director of the Office of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Palestine , Ciro Fiorello , a mechanism for submitting a joint project for the Green Climate Fund, to develop Marj Sanur and solve problems related to water flooding during winter, and the inability of land and holding owners. In this meadow to cultivate and benefit from it.

Attari stressed during the meeting held in his office in Ramallah, the importance and strategy of this project at the level of the agricultural sector and at the level of the region, as it will help create comprehensive development for the region, lead to the development of the agricultural sector, improve the livelihood of landowners and neighboring areas, and solve the problem of floods that it suffers from. Farmers for decades, praising the role of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in providing technical and development support, and as a key partner of the ministry.

Attari indicated that the Ministry of Agriculture will work to develop partnerships for this project at the level of ministries and government agencies, as well as the ministry's partners in the private sector and local and international institutions, explaining that this project is a government priority of the first degree, so an urgent meeting will be arranged with local bodies in the region to discuss The project.

In turn, Fiorello talked about the project, financing, the partnership of FAO and the Ministry, the stages of applying for funding and the responsibilities of the parties, stressing that FAO will work hard to obtain this funding, and will provide all technical and logistical support to the Ministry and its partners to prepare the initial draft in order to obtain funding.

The two parties agreed to complete the necessary details to prepare the draft and prepare all the necessary requirements.

Doha announced on Tuesday that it had received an invitation from the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council to attend a meeting next Friday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to exchange views on the possibility of Syria's return to the League of Arab States.

During a press briefing at the ministry's headquarters in Doha, Majid al-Ansari , a spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that the main objective of "this consultative meeting" in which the Gulf states, in addition to Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, are participating, is to "discuss the situation in Syria."

He pointed out that "there are many developments regarding the situation in Syria and the Arab views towards Syria's return to the Arab League."

In the past two months, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited the Sultanate of Oman and the UAE, in the first visit to two Arab countries since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict in 2011, in light of regional efforts to return Syria to the Arab incubator.

Saudi Arabia and Syria are holding discussions regarding the resumption of consular services after a rupture that has been going on for years as a result of Riyadh closing its embassy in Damascus due to its anti-regime stance, according to a Saudi Foreign Ministry official recently.

Following the outbreak of the conflict, several Arab countries, especially the Gulf ones, severed their diplomatic relations with Syria and closed their embassies in Damascus. The League of Arab States also suspended Syria's membership.

Al-Ansari confirmed the participation of the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, in the meeting.

The General Secretariat of the Cooperation Council has not yet confirmed the organization of the meeting.

For his part, a spokesman for the Iraqi Foreign Ministry told AFP that the issue of Baghdad's participation in the meeting is currently under study.

Al-Ansari explained that an invitation was extended to Iraq, Jordan and Egypt because they are "concerned countries in this regard."

He pointed out that the Qatari position has not changed, explaining that any change in the position on Syria "is mainly linked to the Arab consensus and to a field change that achieves the aspirations of the Syrian people."

On Tuesday evening, the Israeli political echelon decided to ban settlers from storming Al-Aqsa Mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan , which began today.

The leaders of the security services, after disagreements among them, unanimously agreed that it be banned starting tomorrow, Wednesday, instead of today, Tuesday, which allowed hundreds of settlers to storm Al-Aqsa.

Twitter's annual revenue is expected to drop by about a third this year, according to estimates released on Tuesday by a consulting firm, due to the dispute between brands and Elon Musk , owner of the platform since late October.

And “ Insider Intelligence ” stated that the San Francisco- based company, which generates most of its revenue from advertising, will earn less than three billion dollars in 2023, or 28 percent less than its revenue in 2022, which amounted to 4.14 billion dollars.

"The biggest problem is that advertisers don't trust Musk," a statement quoted analyst Jasmine Enberg as saying.

And she believed that "Twitter must separate the image formed from Mask personally and the image of the company, in order to win the trust of advertisers again and restore them."

And “Insider Intelligence” expected, beginning in the summer of 2022, that is, after the offer of the head of “Tesla” to buy the social network and the accompanying controversy, that Twitter revenues would decrease in 2023 to $ 4.74 billion.

Experts were still taking into account the expectations for the growth of the platform. However, the economic situation deteriorated later, and what was expected regarding the departure of advertisers from the network was achieved.

Musk has limited content moderation, which is a necessary component of creating an environment that brands consider "safe," given that they don't want their names to be associated with inappropriate content.

Musk decided to dismiss a number of employees in retaliation, which made the number of employees in the group drop from 7,500 to less than two thousand employees.

Pathmatics noted in January that half of the 30 major advertisers on Twitter had stopped buying ad space on the network since Musk acquired it at the end of October.
And I expected that the new subscription fee for the “Twitter Blue” service would not be able to compensate for the lost revenues.

And she believed that "the blue mark is no longer a guarantee of credibility," as anyone can pay for it.

A Yemeni official announced that the prisoner exchange process agreed upon with the Houthis will begin Thursday and last for three days, provided that it includes flights between the capital, Sana'a , Aden , and other regions in Yemen, in addition to the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

The Houthis and the government announced last month that they had reached an agreement during negotiations in Berne to exchange more than 880 prisoners, in a new sign of hope with the acceleration of efforts to end the war.

The agreement on the exchange was reached days after Saudi Arabia and Iran , which support different parties to the conflict, announced that they had reached an agreement to restore their diplomatic relations after seven years of estrangement.

"All arrangements have been completed...to implement the agreed-upon exchange process," said the official spokesman for the government delegation to the prisoners and abductees negotiations, member of the negotiating delegation and Undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Rights, Majed Fadael, on Twitter.

He added, "Implementation will start, God willing, on April 13, 2023... and the first day of the exchange process will be through reciprocal flights of the Red Cross between Aden-Sana'a and Sanaa-Aden."

It will be followed the next day by flights between Sanaa, Riyadh, Abha (southern Saudi Arabia) and Mocha (western Yemen). On the third day, there will be flights between Marib (central north Yemen) and Sanaa, according to the Yemeni official.

The Houthis took control of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, in 2014, in a conflict that began the same year between them and government forces. The following year, Saudi Arabia led a military coalition that entered the war in support of the government, exacerbating a conflict that left hundreds of thousands dead and caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

A ceasefire reached in April 2022 resulted in a sharp decline in hostilities. The truce ended in October, but fighting remains largely suspended.
Under the agreement, the Houthis will release 181 prisoners, including Saudis and Sudanese, in exchange for 706 detainees held by government forces.

"This exchange process will be followed by other exchanges in the near future until all detainees and abductees are released on the basis of all for all, and all detention centers and prisons are cleared," Fadael wrote on Twitter.

And on Saturday, the head of the Houthi National Committee for Prisoners' Affairs, Abdul Qadir Al-Murtada, announced the arrival of 13 prisoners at Sana'a International Airport in exchange for a Saudi prisoner who was released earlier.

In the last major exchange that took place in October 2020, "more than 1,050 prisoners were released and returned to their regions or countries," according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The new exchange process comes in the midst of strenuous attempts to build on the Saudi and Iranian rapprochement and to consolidate a months-long truce in Yemen as a prelude to a transitional phase that will witness negotiations for a comprehensive peace.

A Saudi delegation headed by Ambassador Muhammad Al Jaber held talks with the Houthis in Sana'a on Sunday, in a rare visit whose aim, according to the ambassador, is to "stabilize the truce" and discuss ways to push for a "comprehensive and sustainable political solution."

The Arab American University announced the start of preparations for the first international conference on digital transformation in Palestine , which will be held in June of the current year 2023.

Prof. Dr. Walid Deeb, Academic Advisor to the University Board of Directors, noted that the conference aims to discuss digital transformation and its prospects in Palestine and its overlap and impact on various sectors to reduce the digital divide compared to leading countries in this field and benefit from all the opportunities offered by digital transformation at the national level and in all sectors.

The exploration of the icy moons of Jupiter by the " Juice " space probe launched by the European Space Agency Thursday from the Kourou base in French Guiana constitutes a new stage in the search for habitable worlds outside the planet, as their ice caps hide vast oceans of water beneath them. The liquid is supposed to provide a fertile environment for life forms.

These environments are so far from the sun that astronomers have long excluded them from the region of the solar system considered habitable, "which until recently stopped at Mars," astrophysicist Athena Kostinis, who is among the science officials, told AFP. for the European probe.

The explorations of the Galileo probes (1995), which targeted Jupiter, and Cassini (2004), which orbited Saturn, pushed the boundaries of research that focused not on these gas giant planets, which are characterized as being inhospitable to life, but on their icy moons, Europa and Ganymede. for Jupiter and Enceladus and Titan for Saturn.

These moons are characterized by the presence of vast oceans of liquid water under their icy surface, knowing that water in its liquid form alone makes life possible on the surface of any celestial body.

"This is the first time that we will explore possible habitable places beyond the frost line," says Nicolas Altobelli, responsible for the "Goss" probe from the European Space Agency, in an interview dating back to January made in Toulouse by the "Airbus" company that designed the probe. It is not possible to record the presence of liquid water on the surface of a planet or moon.

The next NASA mission, called Europa Clipper, will target Europe. As for the probe, "Joss", it will focus on Ganymede. Joss is scheduled to enter the orbit of this moon in 2034, which is the largest moon in the solar system and the only one that has its own magnetic field that protects it from radiation.

There are many characteristics that indicate the existence of a stable environment, which is another condition for the emergence and continuity of life forms, because “what matters is not only that the place is habitable, but that life is viable,” as Athena Costinis asserts.

And unlike space missions to Mars that seek traces of ancient, vanished life, the underlying goal of exploring icy moons is to search for environments that are still habitable, which Mars does not demonstrate.

Another requirement for the possibility of life to exist is the availability of an energy source. In the freezing temperatures of the Jupiter system, the energy source is not the sun but the gravity that Jupiter exerts on its moons and causes "tidal effects" similar to what happens on Earth with the moon.

And the planetary scientist at the French Center for Space Studies, Francis Rocard, says that this phenomenon leads to "the dissipation of heat inside the moons and the preservation of the liquid form of water."

The head of the "Goss" project at the French Center for Space Studies, Carole Larigaudry, describes Ganymede's ocean as "huge". The depth between two thick layers of ice may be tens of kilometers.

"On planet Earth, we get to discover forms of life at the bottom of the abyss," she says. Some terrestrial ecosystems show the ability to continue without light, while teeming with microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea.

And such a system needs nutrients to keep going. "The issue is whether Ganymede's ocean contains similar elements," says Athena Kosthenis.

For example, the ocean must be able to absorb components deposited on the surface to then dissolve in the water, says the astrophysicist.

GOSS tools will explore this ocean with its various layers to measure its depth, its distance from the surface, and its composition, if available.
The probe will orbit Ganymede for eight months and may approach it up to an altitude of 200 km.

Because it does not have a magnetic field, Europa is less suitable for a spacecraft, and the American probe, Europa Clipper, which will arrive at its destination at the same time as Goose, will only be able to fly over its target. However, the data that the two missions will provide will be complementary, according to the scientists.

"If it turns out that Ganymede has indications of life forms, the next logical step would be to send a lander to it," said Cyril Cavill, scientific director at Airbus, adding, "It would be like a dream," although there are no plans at this stage. .
