Cairo - (AFP) - The Egyptian Public Prosecution decided to arrest a person on charges of killing his fiancée, Kholoud Al-Sayed, in her residence, on Monday, in the coastal governorate of Port Said, in the north of the country.

The murder of a 21-year-old Port Said girl comes at a time when crimes against women are spreading in Egypt, where in the past three months, three murders have targeted girls in different governorates because of their refusal to associate with the perpetrators.

A statement by the Public Prosecution, which was published on its official Facebook page on Tuesday, stated that it asked "seventeen witnesses from the victim's family, neighbors, and co-workers, and their statements were repeated about the victim's sermon to the accused and their fellowship at work."

The statement added, "Their colleagues confirmed that the accused assaulted her a day before the incident, and that she resigned out of a desire to avoid him (..) One of her neighbors in the property opposite her residence testified to seeing the accused infiltrating through the window into the residence," which prompted the prosecution to assign the police to investigate the incident.

According to the statement, "the (police investigations) concluded that the accused had killed the victim, so the Public Prosecution ordered the arrest of the accused, so he was arrested, and he is being interrogated regarding what was attributed to him, and the investigations are completed."

Last month, an Egyptian court sentenced to death a judge convicted of killing his TV anchor wife, following a dispute between them.

Perhaps the killing of student Naira Ashraf in front of her university in the city of Mansoura in the Delta in June was the most prominent crime of violence against women, and it sparked widespread anger in the country.

The court that ruled the execution of the murderer of Naira Ashraf had demanded permission to broadcast the execution of the death sentence directly on the perpetrator, "which achieves the desired public deterrence."

The Violent Crimes Observatory, according to the Egyptian “Edraak” Foundation for Development and Equality, recorded during the past year 813 crimes of violence against women and girls, compared to 415 crimes in 2020.

The non-governmental organization monitored that the crimes included "296 cases of killing women and girls of all ages."

Tehran - (AFP) - The violent attack against writer Salman Rushdie constitutes a conspiracy by the United States , "which seeks to spread Islamophobia in the world," according to what was reported Sunday in an Iranian newspaper, in the absence of any official comment so far from the Islamic Republic.

The British writer of Indian origin who holds American citizenship, whose blood Iran issued a fatwa in 1989 following the publication of his novel "The Satanic Verses", was stabbed several times Friday in New York State (northeastern United States), in an attack that drew condemnation from the West and also praises from some hardliners in Iran and Pakistan. .

On Sunday, the newspaper "Jewan", known for its extremist line, said, "Perhaps a young Muslim man who had not seen the light when Salman Rushdie wrote his satanic book wanted revenge on him."

The perpetrator of the attack, Hadi Matar, a twenty-four-year-old American of Lebanese descent, was born several years after the publication of the novel "The Satanic Verses," in which extremist Muslims see an insult to the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad.

The newspaper "Joan" touched on the hypothesis of a conspiracy orchestrated by the Americans, "in a different scenario that the United States is likely to seek to spread Islamophobia in the world."

As for "Kayhan" newspaper, "The attack on Rushdie showed the weakness of the US intelligence and proved that strict security measures cannot prevent attacks."

And it reported that "the assault on Salman Rushdie shows that revenge against criminals on American soil is not difficult."

And "Kayhan" considered that former US President Donald "Trump and Pompeo (his former foreign minister) will feel an increasing threat," given that they were "the main plotters of the assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani," the former commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, who died in an American raid near Baghdad in January. 2020.

The Iranian authorities have not yet commented on the attempted assassination of Salman Rushdie, 75, who is still in hospital in a serious condition.
"I do not see the hand of the Iranian state in this attack, but it is certain that this incident will increase the United States' suspicion of Iran," Thierry Covel, an expert on Iranian affairs and researcher at the Institute of International and Strategic Relations in Paris, told AFP.

In the context of the scene of injustice in which the Palestinians are in the homeland and in the diaspora, the voices of threats and intimidation are raised from some Islamic leaders that lead the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, and in a language that suggests that the Palestinian resistance possesses the tools of killing and destruction in a way that threatens the existence of the Zionist entity to the point of annihilation!!

There is no doubt that some understand that these statements come - in fact - to raise the morale of our people on the one hand, and to respond to the threats of the Israeli generals of war to destroy the Gaza Strip and flatten it to the ground, and other harbingers of woe and great things, in addition to what the herds of settlers are doing of storming the mosque squares. Al-Aqsa and attacks on the Islamic and heritage sanctities in the Holy City, the deliberate continuation of the killing of Palestinian youth in the villages and towns of the West Bank, and forms of inhuman recklessness as we witnessed with millions of peoples of the world in the assassination of the Palestinian journalist Sherine Abu Aqleh, whose funeral was not spared from the persecution of the occupation soldiers and the lack of Respect for the prestige of the deceased inside the coffin!!

What Israel practices in Jerusalem and the West Bank are scenes that provoke the stone and call for the Palestinian desire for revenge and revenge by all means and in all the occupied territories.

Yes; Wisdom necessitates that we do not exaggerate in words and intimidation, and that we do not raise the ceiling of expectations above the level of capabilities, and that the discourse of the reality of the victim be our language in which we communicate with the world around us, this world that Israel deceived by insulting the role of the victim with high media skill and professionalism, and through a policy of intimidation for everyone who stands Sympathetic to our side with accusations of anti-Semitism!!
Perhaps the Palestinian cannot accept the position of the victim; Because that peaceful scene affects his dignity and national pride, and influences the habit of adopting the image of a hero who does not break dust, as he is closer in the militant and jihadist imagination to the case of Antara, Al-Zahir Baybars, Qutuz, Salah al-Din, Khalid bin Al-Walid, Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh ... etc. This is something that can be understood in the genetic psychology (DNA) of those who were brought up reading the history of the conquerors of Arabs and Muslims.

The state of steadfastness in which the Palestinians are, gives them the euphoria of feeling victorious, so their breath with resistance remains hot and high, and the breasts of enemies are healed with tenderness, until the promise of the Hereafter is fulfilled for some of them.

There are those who argue that the last four wars of the Palestinian resistance with Israel inside and outside the borders of the Gaza Strip, in which the occupation army, with all its military capabilities and equipment, did not succeed in achieving a victory that would decide the battle in its favour, and this in the military sense is considered steadfastness of our people in the Strip and their valiant Islamic and national resistance. With this euphoria in saying this, and the recognition of this by many, we must also acknowledge that the enemy still has the longest hand of killing and destruction, and this requires us to invoke wisdom in maneuvering, mobilizing the nation to stand by us, and pushing the usurper occupier into a corner of weakness and moral bankruptcy.

The formulas for talking about the military alliance of the Islamic resistance forces in the region, especially in light of the existing alliances and escalation between Western countries and Russia, the unstable tensions between Iran and America, and Israel's provocations in Syria and Lebanon, the matter calls for patience and not exaggerating the tone of alignment and the tone of the military alliance; Because what that means is that we will find - and unfortunately - Arab and perhaps Islamic countries lined up there in the other camp!!

The bottom line and the cornerstone - today - is that the Palestinian scene lacks any strategic vision on which the factions can come together or meet, as the state of fragmentation has scattered its fragments and the breach widened on the patch, and each party becomes happy with what they have or is being chased.
Today, we need a truce that gives us the opportunity to restore the Palestinian home, reunite, and fill the baskets of grain as an asset for the resistance within the framework of the confrontation with the occupation.

The arrangements of the political reality of the region are within the framework of formation, and if contexts of the polar nature of the region are taken, this will put us in a circle of “with or against”, a calculation that will make us lose the stance of “everyone with” to “there is against”, and it is a losing equation with all its political parameters in our space Arab and Islamic.

The map of the major powers is "cramped" today by the professional drummers of war and some of the countries of the region revolving around their subordination, so what is the point of cracking heads with other additional drums when we know that we are outside the calculations of everything that is going on, and that the priority in our Arab region is not to pave the way for a parallel war or It is new, rather it is to build economic axes that will be built hastily to meet the needs of life and the continuation of the flow of oil, gas and food in the arteries of the camp of Western countries.

The war today in our region - in short - does not make anyone happy, and its "killed" will not decide a revolutionary war that we demand for liberation and return. Our people and our nation need reviews, workshops and reform, the chances of which do not yet appear on the horizon.

In turn, the Palestinian Journalist Bloc decided not to participate in what it called the "extraordinary conference play", due to the lack of proper legal foundations, and not to deal with the initiative and movement of journalists who demanded a reform of the internal system to ensure that any upcoming elections are democratic and transparent, and because the General Secretariat refused to publish a record Union members, while calling on journalists to boycott the conference.

Istanbul - (AFP) - Turkey has called for the "lifting of sanctions" on Venezuela and Iran to counter the rise in oil prices linked to the war in Ukraine.

"The whole world needs oil and natural gas from Venezuela... On the other hand, there is an embargo on Iranian oil," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said.

The Turkish minister added, "If you want to reduce prices, lift these sanctions and cancel the embargo measures on these two countries, which will condemn the markets."

The two allied oil producers are subject to heavy sanctions imposed by the United States.

Without naming Washington, Cavusoglu denounced the United States' reaction to the recent decision of the oil-exporting countries, led by Saudi Arabia, to cut production to support the price of black gold.

"We see that a country is threatening Saudi Arabia, and this intimidation is not fair," the Turkish minister said.

At the end of June, France called for a "diversification of supplies" towards Iran and Venezuela in order to limit the rise in fuel prices due to the war in Ukraine.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro responded on public television the next day, "President Macron! Venezuela is ready to welcome all French companies that want to come and produce oil and gas."

Los Angeles - (AFP) - British actor Julian Sands went missing about a week ago in a snow-covered mountain range in the US state of California, according to authorities who indicated that weather conditions were hampering their search for him.

The spokeswoman for the local police chief's office in San Bernardino County, Mara Rodriguez, told AFP that the 65-year-old actor, who was featured especially in the films "Room with a View" and "Warlock", "lost (...) on Mount Baldy" on the day last friday.

This mountain, also called Mount San Antonio, with a height of 3068 meters, is the highest peak in the San Gabriel mountain range near Los Angeles. The area is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, but the series of storms that recently hit California has dumped large amounts of snow, making it dangerous.

Rescue teams launched search operations on the ground on Friday, but had to suspend them on Saturday evening due to the risk of avalanches. The spokeswoman explained, "The search operations are continuing, and helicopters and drones are used when weather conditions allow."

"We will launch new ground searches when the weather improves and when we can ensure the safety of our teams," she added.

Born in Yorkshire, northern England, Julian Sands resides in the US state of California, and is an amateur mountaineer.

One of Sands' most prominent achievements in this field was his climbing of the Andes mountain range in the early nineties of the twentieth century, when he found himself stuck in it in the middle of a storm at an altitude of more than six thousand meters. And in 2020, he told the British newspaper "The Guardian" that he finds happiness "near the top of a mountain on a beautiful cold morning."

And the San Bernardino County authorities predicted severe weather conditions last week, via Twitter, and warned on Wednesday of the danger of hiking on Mount Baldy during this period, even for the experienced, due to strong winds and ice.

In recent weeks, rescue units have carried out about 12 rescue operations in the region. At least two people died in accidents, including a woman who fell from a height of more than 200 meters due to her slipping on the ice.

Nairobi - "Jerusalem" dot com - (AFP) - At least 72 people have been killed in seven weeks, some of them slaughtered or burned, in Unity State, southern Sudan, where ethnic violence has escalated, as confirmed by the United Nations Mission in this country.

The massacres took place between 17 February and 7 April in Leer and included acts of sexual violence, according to the mission.

"72 civilians were killed and at least 11 were injured," the mission said in a statement.

"The mission strongly condemns the spread of sexual violence and killings, including acts of beheading or burning of civilians, and attacks on humanitarian workers," the statement added.

On sexual violence, Mission Director Nicholas Haysom said, "We must do everything we can to ensure that victims... get the justice they deserve and receive the care and support they need."

In April, terrified villagers told AFP they spent days holed up in swamps in Leer district while gunmen set fire to their homes and stole their livestock.

The renewed violence in South Sudan raises fears of a return to conflict in this East African country, which descended in 2013, two years after it gained independence, into a five-year civil war that left nearly 400,000 dead and millions displaced.

The war officially ended in September 2018 with a peace agreement that stipulates the principle of power-sharing. But that agreement has been largely unimplemented, more than two years after the formation of a national unity government that included President Salva Kiir and his archenemy, now Vice President Riek Machar.

The country is witnessing acts of violence and an economic crisis as a result of accelerating inflation, causing cases of hunger.

According to the United Nations, nearly nine million people, out of more than 11 million, will need international aid this year due to a deep food crisis and renewed violence.

On Monday, Haysom called on "national and local authorities to take immediate action to reduce tension and prevent further escalation and reprisals."

LOS ANGELES - (Xinhua) -- The two new sub-strains of Omicron, PQ.1 and PQ.1.1, accounted for nearly 70 percent of the new COVID-19 infections reported in the United States over the past week, according to estimates. Issued on Friday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The "BQ1.1" strain accounted for approximately 36.8 percent of infections with variants spread to COVID-19 in the country during the week ending December 10, while the infection rate of the "BQ.1" strain was estimated at 31.1 percent, according to the data released by the agency. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The two new strains belong to the Omicron subspecies PA.5. The infection rate has increased rapidly, especially since October.

At the beginning of October, each of the two strains accounted for 1 percent of new COVID-19 infections in the United States. They replaced Pa.5 as the dominant strains in the United States in mid-November.

Beirut - (AFP) - The Appellate Public Prosecutor in Beirut on Thursday charged the Governor of the Banque du Liban , Riad Salameh, with several crimes, including embezzlement and money laundering, in the first local allegation against him on the sidelines of investigations conducted by several European countries about his wealth, a judicial official told AFP. .

In April 2022, the Lebanese judiciary opened a local investigation into Salameh’s wealth and its source, after he was targeted by an investigation in Switzerland, and later in other European countries, on suspicion of his and his brother Raja Salameh’s involvement in cases of embezzlement of more than $300 million.

The judicial official stated that Judge Raja Hamoush "charged both Salama, his brother, his assistant Marianne Al-Hawik, and everyone whom the investigation showed, with crimes of embezzlement of public funds, forgery, use of counterfeits, illegal enrichment, money laundering, and violation of the tax law."

The Public Defender of Appeal requested interrogation and the issuance of the necessary judicial warrants against them.

This is the first allegation in Lebanon that affects Salameh in the local investigation that is taking place against the background of the European investigations, but it is not the first local allegation against him in other cases related to illegal enrichment and smuggling of funds abroad, and a judge issued a travel ban against him.

The allegation against Salameh comes more than a month after European investigators in Beirut heard witnesses, including bank managers and employees of the Banque du Liban, in the context of investigations related to the wealth of the central bank governor.

The European investigations focus on the relationship between the Banque du Liban and the “Fore Associates” company, which is registered in the Virgin Islands and has an office in Beirut, and its economic beneficiary is Raja Salameh. It is believed that this company played the role of intermediary for the purchase of treasury bonds and Eurobonds from the Central Bank by receiving a subscription commission, which was transferred to Salama's accounts abroad.

On March 28, 2022, the European Judicial Cooperation Unit "Eurojust" announced that France, Germany and Luxembourg had frozen 120 million euros of Lebanese assets following an investigation targeting Salameh and four of his close associates, including his brother, on charges of money laundering and "embezzlement of public funds in Lebanon worth more than From 330 million dollars and 5 million euros, respectively, between 2002 and 2021.

Since July 2021, the French financial judiciary has been investigating Salama's fortune, and in early December, a Ukrainian woman close to him was charged with charges, including money laundering and tax fraud.

Salama has always denied the accusations against him, considering that his prosecution comes in the context of an operation to "tarnish" his image.

Despite the complaints, summons, investigations, and travel ban issued against him in Lebanon, Salameh remains in the position he has held since 1993, making him one of the longest-serving central bank governors in the world. His term is supposed to end in May 2023.

Sydney (AFP) - Australia Monday began building a vast network of antennas in its remote rural areas, its share of a project whose developers say will eventually become one of the world's most powerful radio telescopes.

When complete, the antennas in Australia and a network of satellite dishes in South Africa will form the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), a massive instrument aimed at solving mysteries about the formation of stars, galaxies and extraterrestrial life.

The idea for the telescope originated in the early 1990s, but the project was delayed by funding problems and diplomatic maneuvering.

Director General of the SKA Observatory Philip Diamond called the launch of the construction project "extremely important".

He said the telescope "will be one of the largest scientific efforts ever undertaken by mankind."

Its name is based on the original goal of the developers who sought to build a telescope that could observe an area of one square kilometer, but the current divisions in South Africa and Australia will have a collection area of just under half that level, according to the observatory.

Both countries have vast tracts of land in remote areas where radio interference is low, providing an ideal environment for such telescopes.

More than 130,000 Christmas tree antennas are planned to be deployed in Western Australia, on the traditional lands of the Wagari Aboriginal people.

He called the site "Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara" or "Sharing the Sky and the Stars".

"We appreciate their willingness to share their skies and stars with us as we seek answers to some of the fundamental scientific questions we face," Diamond said.

The South African site will feature nearly 200 dishes in the remote Karoo region.

Comparing radio telescopes is difficult because they operate at different frequencies, according to developers at the observatory.

The UK-based SKA Observatory expects the telescope to start making scientific observations by the end of this decade.

The organization includes 14 members: Britain, Australia, South Africa, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Puno (Peru) - (AFP) - Drought in the Peruvian Andes wiped out herds of alpacas and potato crops, forcing the government to declare a state of emergency Saturday for 60 days in more than 100 regions.

Rural communities in the provinces of Arequipa and Puno in southern Peru were the worst affected, as the government declared a state of emergency "due to the imminent threat of water shortage".

The National Weather Service (Cinami) described the drought as one of the worst droughts to hit the country in half a century, exacerbated by El Niña, a periodic natural phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean that cools the atmosphere.

"November 2022 was one of the driest months in the past 58 years in the Andes region," Sinami reported.

Indigenous groups in small Andean villages have suffered heavy losses of crops and herds of livestock.

"Because of the lack of feed and water, the alpacas are dying. My alpaca has died," Isabel Bellido, an alpaca keeper, told AFP from her mountain home in Lagunillas, near Puno, the provincial capital, at an altitude of 4,200 meters in some elevations, 850 km southeast of Lima. .

For his part, Carlos Pacheco, a veterinarian and expert on llamas and alpacas, said the worst-case scenario would be a continuation of the drought.

"The animals are already underweight and there is no pasture," he said.

At high altitudes in the Andes, temperatures can drop to -20 degrees Celsius and cause mass deaths of sheep and alpacas that are vital to the survival of small mountain villages.

In the winter of 2015, 170,000 alpacas died due to extreme cold and drought in Peru.

According to local press reports, hundreds of baby alpacas and lambs have died this year.

The shallow lakes have dried up and only sporadic pools remain, as is the case of Pariouanas Lake near Lagunillas.

In neighboring Santa Lucia, Lake Colpacocha has completely disappeared leaving only a cracked mud bottom.

Near Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable inland sea with an elevation of 3,812 metres, the villagers of Echo appeal to a higher authority to end the drought... They take away a statue of the "Our Lady of the Clouds," a figure highly venerated by Catholics in Peru and Ecuador, They parade across the fields for the first time in years, praying them to bring rain.

"We planted our crops in the usual way, but the potatoes don't germinate because of the extreme heat. It's worrying," said Daniel Kkama, a prominent figure in Ichu.

Praying to Christ, the participants in the procession chanted, "Let the rain fall. Do not punish us, Father."

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant accused the so-called Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir of leaking phone calls between them to the media, which prompted the former not to respond to the latter's calls.

According to the Arabic-speaking Israeli Public Broadcasting Authority, Galant asked Ben Gvir not to leak what is going on during the phone calls between them, and if this is not done, it is better not to make any calls, or to make them publicly in front of the press in a press conference.

Ben Gvir had called Gallant several times to ask him for clarification about the administrative detention orders against two settlers for their participation in the Hawara events, but the latter refused to respond to the calls of the former, who went to his prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu , to resolve the existing differences.

Security officials confirmed that the administrative arrest warrants against two settlers were issued in accordance with the law, accusing a number of Israeli politicians of attempting to ignite strife for political considerations, thus harming Israel's international reputation. As quoted by them.

Officials believe that it is necessary to calm the situation and allow Israel to act before the outside world regarding the central and most important issue, which is the Iranian threat that preoccupies and worries the heads of the security services.

The "RAJ" is an acronym for "Youth Action Gathering" in French.

The decision came a day after the fourth anniversary of the launch of the popular movement on February 22, 2019, which began to protest against Bouteflika's candidacy for a fifth term and developed through weekly marches for about a year to demand freedom and democracy.

In the first reaction, Amnesty International considered that "dissolving the association is a severe blow to the right to freedom of association guaranteed by the constitution," as it wrote in a tweet on Twitter.

Fathi Ghras, coordinator of the Social Democratic Movement Party (leftist), considered that by freezing the activity of his party, closing its offices, and dissolving the "Raj" association, "the regime is looking for a way out of its crisis to kill political life."

On October 13, the Administrative Court, based on a complaint from the Ministry of Interior, issued a decision to dissolve the "Raj" association. The organization appealed the decision to the Council of State, the highest judicial body in administrative courts, and its decisions are not subject to review.

The prosecutions against the youth association began with the imprisonment of its president, Abdel Wahhab Farsawi, for six months, on charges of "undermining the integrity and unity of the homeland" in 2020.

The same court had decided to dissolve the Algerian League for the Defense of Human Rights in September, in judicial procedures conducted in its absence, and based on a complaint filed by the Ministry of Interior in May 2022.

The League, which has been legally active since 1989, considered that "like other organizations and political parties, it pays the price for its struggle, like millions of Algerians, in the peaceful movement for democracy, freedoms and human rights."

باتت تشكل حكومة التطرف الاسرائيلية بفكرها العنصري وقمعها المنظم خطورة بالغة على المستقبل الفلسطيني وتبقى الحقيقة ان تلك العقلية الاسرائيلية الاستعمارية العنصرية تجسد كل اشكال القمع وترفض الانتقادات سواء كانت إسرائيلية أو دولية لممارسات الاحتلال والاستيطان وسرعان ما يتم تصنيفها في تهم وقوالب جاهزة أبرزها معاداة السامية، بهدف تحقيق الضم التدريجي للضفة الغربية المحتلة بما فيها القدس الشرقية وتحويل القرى والبلدات الفلسطينية إلى جزر معزولة بعضها عن بعض تغرق في محيط استيطاني ضخم .

المخاطر التي تهدد المسجد الأقصى المبارك مستمرة في التصاعد وخاصة في ظل مخططات عمل حكومة التطرف الاسرائيلية والتي بدأت تطال كافّة المعالم العربية والإسلامية بالقدس، ومعاول الهدم ماضية في تخريب المدينة بشكل شرس سواء تحت الأرض او فوقها وبحسب مخططات طويلة الأمد وجدول زمني مدروس آخذه في التسارع لتحقيق الأطماع اليهودية في اختطاف القدس من أهلها وتحويلها إلى ( أورشليم ذات الطابع الغربي ) مدنيا واليهودي عقائديا .

ومن شان الاستمرار بتطبيق السياسات العنصرية وإطلاق التصريحات المتطرفة بان تمنح الغطاء الرسمي لمنظمات المستوطنين وجمعياتهم الاستيطانية للعدوان على الاقصى المبارك والعمل على تهويده والاستمرار بسرقة المزيد من الأرض الفلسطينية واستمرار عملياتهم الاجرامية بحق ابناء الشعب الفلسطيني وتصعيد عدوانها ضد المواطنين الفلسطينيين وبلداتهم وممتلكاتهم ومقدساتهم كما هو حاصل في القدس المحتلة وبرقة وبيتا ومسافر يطا والأغوار ومختلف المدن والقرى الفلسطينية في الضفة الغربية المحتلة .

ومرة اخرى تؤكد هذه المواقف والتصريحات وبشكل واضح وصريح أن الحكومة الإسرائيلية الجديدة هي حكومة استيطان ومستوطنين تتفاخر علنا بتبنيها للاحتلال والاستيطان في أرض دولة فلسطين، كسياسة إسرائيلية رسمية تسخر لها جميع الإمكانيات المالية والقانونية والعسكرية وتوفر لها الحماية والحصانة مما يعكس إصرارها على دعم وإسناد الاستيطان بهدف تعميقه وتوسيعه في الضفة الغربية المحتلة بما فيها القدس الشرقية .

وتشكل تلك المواقف التحريضية العنصرية التي صدرت عن قادة اليمين المتطرف لدى دولة الاحتلال واتخاذهم قرارا بمنع رفع العلم الفلسطيني حيث يعبر ذلك عن الكراهية والعداء والتمييز العنصري ومن شان هذه المواقف دعم مجموعات المستوطنين المسلحة وعملياتهم الاجرامية وممارستهم لسرقة الارض الفلسطينية وتوسيع عمليات الاستيطان في قلب المدن الفلسطينية في الضفة الغربية تمهيدا لتطبيق مخططات الضم الاسرائيلية .

حكومة التطرف تعمل ضمن مخطط واضح وهو تهويد القدس بما في ذلك المسجد الاقصى واستمرار سياسة الاستيطان سواء بناء المستوطنات وتوسيعها والاستيلاء على الأراضي وتهجير الفلسطينيين ضمن سياستها الا شرعية وغير القانونية والتي تشكل انتهاكا واضحا للقانون الدولي وتقوض فرص تحقيق السلام الشامل والعادل على أساس حل الدولتين وفق قرارات الشرعية الدولية .

الشعب الفلسطيني الصامد المرابط في ارضه رغم القمع والقتل والتنكيل وحملات الابادة الجماعية المنظمة التي تمارسها عصابات الاحتلال يتمسك في القدس وحقوقه التاريخية فيها ولا تنازل عن اي حق من حقوقها وستبقى المحور الاساسي للقضية الفلسطينية وهي تشكل حضارته وتاريخيه ومستقبله الوطني والسياسي .

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Prisoners' Club said that a full year has passed since the Israeli occupation prison administration isolated the prisoner Ahmed Manasra in solitary confinement cells, and throughout the year he faced compelling and difficult health and psychological conditions, which contributed to the aggravation of his condition, and he was transferred several Several times to the isolation wards in several prisons, the last of which was to the isolation of the "Ashkelon" prison, where he is today, and the occupation insists, despite his difficult health and psychological condition, to continue his detention and isolation.

And the club stated in a statement, that during this period, calls for the release of Ahmed, who has been detained since 2015, escalated, in addition to an international campaign launched regarding his case, and this was accompanied by a legal effort made by the legal staff related to his case, represented by lawyer Khaled Zabarga, in an attempt to exhaust the paths that he sought. It could save Ahmed and lead to his release. The most prominent decision issued by the occupation courts regarding his case was the decision of a specialized committee of the occupation judicial system to classify Ahmed's file as a "terrorism file".

This decision imposed an additional obstacle to the possibility of approaching the Early Release Committee (two-thirds of the term), or what is known as “Bashlish”, in order to try to release him. The classification" because it contradicts the "law", and this is a new attempt to make any breakthrough to allow his lawyer to go to the early release committee. As indicated by the club.

Ahmed is still facing a deterioration in his health and psychological condition, and despite the existence of clear medical reports about his condition, this was not enough for him to be in the arms of his family.

It is assumed that until the date of next November 7, there will be a response to the appeal submitted by the defense staff to the Supreme Court.

The Captive Club confirmed that Ahmed is one of a group of prisoners who suffer from difficult psychological conditions, and the prison administration continues to detain them in solitary confinement in force majeure conditions that have exacerbated their conditions, despite the attempts of their fellow prisoners and human rights institutions to end their isolation or find a way to release them. The occupation continues to arrest and detain them in solitary confinement cells under forceful and difficult conditions.

It is noteworthy that cases suffering from diseases and psychological problems are on the rise inside the occupation prisons, as a result of the abusive and repressive policies that the prisoners are subjected to, including the isolation policy, which is the most prominent and dangerous of these policies.

The American and Israeli official and unofficial media outlets were and still are, declaring morning and evening and tirelessly repeating a big lie, which is that both of them are pioneers in the field of human rights, and the beacon of freedoms for all countries of the earth, and that they constitute the vanguard that protects public rights and freedoms in the world. I gather, and that they formed and placed the greatest guarantees for human rights from the judiciary, public prosecution, intelligence and police, and they have the civilization and purity to ensure that human matter. ‏
Two regimes based on robbing the people of the original homeland, including its land, water, oil, trees, construction, even its silver and gold, stripping it of its national, familial and social roots, and denying it its right to elect a ruling regime to determine its own destiny and sovereignty over its natural resources and national wealth. Two regimes were invented from the reasons and arguments for a long-term colonization of the homeland of the original people, so they established colonies and settlements, plundered lands, homes, real estate, and stores, and deported, imprisoned, exiled, and deported their leaders to the unknowns of history.
Two regimes based on the principle of racial discrimination and inequality between their subjects in all fields and sectors, whether they adopted appointment or election as a method, despite the American constitutional text and an affirmation of what is called the National Law. Non-white minorities in America, Christians and Muslims, Negroes and Mexicans, Arabs or Indians, are still practicing hateful racial discrimination against them, and legal texts have not reformed American souls. As for the Israeli entity, every law is based on discriminatory racist application, and there is nothing wrong with that. The Anglo-Saxon penal system applied in both systems, which permits the collection of these lives, is inhumane. Rather, it despises and denies the human self, and contradicts the foundations of reform and modern schools of social defence.
Two reckless regimes that do not obey the rule of international law with all its rules in times of peace and war, and see in their laws rules that transcend international law and its provisions by land, sea and air. This is not evidenced by the size of the attacks they committed against the countries of the world, in the past and present. They both rejected criminal responsibility for the actions of their soldiers in their breaches, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression, when they rejected the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and did not ratify the Rome Statute of 1998, while the United States was the pioneer in drafting the London Pact for the trial of Nazi and Japanese war criminals In the Nuremburg and Tokyo trials, as happened recently with the martyr Sherine Abu Aqelah, and not prosecuting the perpetrator, but evading responsibility. ‏
Two regimes established the most heinous system of torture and adopted it as a method to extract information from prisoners and captives, so they called it the ugliest system of human behavior on the level of humanity. Israel called it "moderate physical pressure," and America called it "advanced interrogation techniques." The 1983 Torture Prohibition was drafted by the United Nations at American urging. How horrible the two regimes carried out the worst horrors of torture and are still committing this inhumane behavior that surpasses all what other regimes do and all credible human rights organizations testify to. They did this through unlimited procedures, unrestricted budgets, absolute powers and immunities for actors, partners, instigators and intervenors, and legislative and judicial protection. Their actions testify to the ugliness of their actions, and their torture at all levels, in all places, in all techniques, and by all means and materials, with the help and assistance of doctors, especially psychologists. The article does not allow for the names of those who were tortured and died as a result of torture, whether in American or Israeli prisons
Two political regimes have adopted a policy of extrajudicial killing of their political opponents, regardless of their nationality, and have implemented it by several different means that are inhumane, immoral, unimaginable, and of a brutal nature. This is something that applies to all American and Israeli leaders, regardless of their party, time and place. This basically violated the human right to life and the safety of his body and his members, which are guaranteed by international conventions and the basic rights that they sing about in all forums, places and times. Rather, they killed very innocent people who happened to be with the dead person, such as a child, an old woman, a stabbed sheikh, or a crippled person, or they were by chance in the killing field. They did not have mercy on them, nor did they confess to killing them, nor did they pay compensation for their crime, and they evaded all responsibility and reckoning. Two regimes have become in each of them a politician who decides to end the life of whoever it is just because of a security report from an officer obsessed with killing, charged with hatred and hatred towards a Palestinian or Muslim person.
Two systems believe that they are the good guys in this world and the rest of them are bad. They are the good and others are the bad, and the non-good is only the dead, but they despise others from this world, so tomorrow the American dream and the Nazi Holocaust, and tomorrow that is one of the sanctities that are forbidden to be touched, and it is only permissible to recognize it, and the world must respect the two sayings and advance to serve them and the American dollar And the American economy and even the American debt and American instructions.
The two systems are similar to the existence of a strange thing, which is the prisons, which are supposed to be reform, correction, correction, and recognition of the humanity of the prisoner or prisoner. The United States of America has the largest number of prisons relative to its population, and the most brutal crimes are practiced through them under the noses and eyes of the jailer. The same thing, but in another way, all the rights of the Palestinian prisoners were taken away from the Israeli jailer through struggles, sacrifices and suffering, despite the existence of an international charter that guarantees such rights.
Two regimes share a system of corruption, based on exploitation, greed, plunder, and looting. Some of their leaders are traders in the slave market, and many of them have been prosecuted or charged with financial charges, bribery, rape, immorality, gangs, fraud, forgery, and immoral practices. ‏
They are two regimes that many political regimes are close to. The non-aligned and positive neutral countries and the Soviet Union were absent from the arena, and they complimented them and saw in them care and protection, instead of holding them accountable and asking them to stop their abhorrent practices. She throws some crumbs for her to feed her influential groups. ‏
The world must once again stand firmly and firmly on its feet according to its values and philosophy, which it decided in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and laying down its foundations, in repelling these two savage regimes that violate human rights, but rather prosecute the perpetrators of them to a fair trial for their crimes against humanity, and stop dealing with them. And expelling them from the civilized international system, God helps those who help themselves!!! ‏

BEIJING - (Xinhua) -- China's National Market Regulatory Authority, the country's top quality-monitoring body, said Mercedes-Benz (China) Automotive Sales has started recalling more than 10,000 imported cars from the Chinese market due to safety concerns.

BEIJING (AFP) - Three Chinese astronauts returned safely to Earth Sunday after spending six months at China's Tiangong space station with "complete success" in their mission, state media reported.

The Xinhua News Agency quoted the Chinese Manned Space Agency as saying that the team, which has been at the station since early June, landed in Dongfeng in Inner Mongolia at 8:09 pm Beijing time (12:09 GMT).

She added that doctors said the pioneers were in good health.

The Tiangong space station is the crown jewel of China's ambitious space program, which has succeeded in landing robotic probes on the surface of Mars and the Moon, and made China, which is looking to catch up with the United States and Russia, the third country to send humans to Earth's orbit.

The three Chinese astronauts of the Shenzhou-14 mission are Commander Chen Dong, China's first female astronaut Liu Yang, and her companion Cai Xuezhe, and they have been entrusted with overseeing the final stages of building the space station.

The last unit was successfully docked with the main structure of the Tiangong station last month, according to state media, in a major step ahead of the station's completion by the end of the year.

"It is an honor to witness the formation of the basic structure of our space station," said Chen, an air force pilot who became the first Chinese astronaut to stay in space for more than 200 days.

The team handed over the mission to the Shenzhou-15 crew, the first Chinese delivery in space.

China has been excluded from the International Space Station project since 2011, after the United States banned NASA from dealing with it.

It is expected that the weight of the Tiangong station, after its completion, will reach 90 tons, or a quarter of the weight of the International Space Station, so that it is similar in size to the Soviet Mir station that swam in Earth orbit from 1980 to 2001.

Tiangong, which means "heavenly palace," will remain in service for nearly a decade and host many scientific experiments conducted in near zero gravity.

Jerusalem - "Al Quds" dot com - Today, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces stormed a neighborhood in the town of Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Beirut - (AFP) - The Lebanese pound recorded its lowest levels against the dollar in the parallel market, at a time when the country's political crisis is deepening, which prevents any reforms capable of pulling it out of the chronic economic collapse.

The exchange rate touched the threshold of 40,000 pounds against the dollar on Monday, according to applications and money changers, at the lowest level since the start of the economic collapse that Lebanon has been witnessing for three years, and the World Bank ranks it among the worst in the world.

Since the summer of 2019, the lira has lost nearly 95 percent of its value against the dollar, while the official exchange rate is still fixed at 1,507 pounds.

This coincides with an acute liquidity crisis, and banks stopped providing depositors with their money in dollars.

Banks and money transfer companies adopt different exchange rates.

The prolonged economic crisis is considered the worst in Lebanon's history.

And it is accompanied by political paralysis that prevents taking reform steps that limit the deterioration and improve the quality of life of the population, more than eighty percent of whom live below the poverty line.

The authorities have not yet succeeded in implementing reforms required by the international community to provide support in order to stop the bleeding.

The fund announced in April that it had reached a preliminary agreement with Lebanon on a $3 billion aid plan over four years.

However, its application is also linked to the government's commitment to prior reforms, including the unification of exchange rates.

This comes amid an acute political crisis, as the Lebanese parliament failed twice in a row to elect a new president for the country in light of deep divisions reflected by the lack of consensus among the political forces over the name of a successor to the current president, Michel Aoun, whose term of office expires at the end of this month.

Because of the same divisions that prevent consensus on a president for the country, the efforts of Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati to form a government have not borne fruit since the parliamentary elections that took place in mid-May.

The international community is pressing for the election of a new president within the constitutional deadlines to avoid deepening the economic crisis.
