Doha - (AFP) - The Saudi club Al-Nasr is in contact with the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently separated from Manchester United, to join his ranks, but nothing was signed until Monday, according to what Agence France-Presse learned from sources within the capital club.

And the Spanish newspaper “Marca” claimed on Monday that Ronaldo will play with Al-Nasr starting in January, after he was left without a team after his separation from United, due to his public criticism of the club and its Dutch coach, Eric ten Hag.

An official at Al-Nasr Club revealed to France Press, on condition of anonymity, that the 37-year-old "did not sign."

In the middle of last week, another source inside the Saudi club confirmed the fact that there were "serious negotiations", and even indicated the possibility of the signing taking place in Doha, where the World Cup finals will be held, in which "CR7" will participate with his country's national team.
But this source added that there are still points to be settled "on the issue of image rights".

And on November 23, in the midst of the Qatar World Cup finals, the decision was made to separate Ronaldo and United by "mutual agreement."

The Portuguese star returned to the “Red Devils” in 2021 to go through his second experience with him, after a first that extended from 2003 to 2009, before leaving him to join Spanish Real Madrid, where he won all possible titles, including four in the Champions League.

The only player to score in five consecutive editions of the World Cup, on Tuesday, will play the World Cup final price match against Switzerland against Switzerland.

القدس – “القدس” دوت كوم – قال مجلس الإفتاء الأعلى في فلسطين، إن التطاول على الرسول الكريم محمد عليه السلام وشتمه من قبل المستوطنين خلال تنظيمهم “مسيرة الأعلام” العدوانية في مدينة القدس المحتلة، انتهاك سافر وعنصري.

ودعا المجلس خلال جلسة عقدها اليوم الخميس، برئاسة المفتي العام للقدس والديار الفلسطينية، رئيس مجلس الإفتاء الأعلى محمد حسين، تخللتها مناقشة المسائل الفقهية المدرجة على جدول أعمالها، العرب والمسلمين في أرجاء المعمورة إلى الدفاع عن نبيهم محمد عليه السلام ومقدساتهم.

وحمل سلطات الاحتلال عواقب هذا العدوان، الذي يتم بحمايتها، مضيفا ان هذا الاعتداء ليس جديدا على المستوطنين، وإنما قاموا بمثله في أكثر من مكان وزمان دون رادع.

وفي السياق، حذر المجلس من تداعيات قرار الاحتلال هدم حي البستان في بلدة سلوان جنوب المسجد الأقصى، وتحويله إلى حديقة توراتية لصالح مشاريع ومخططات تهويدية، ما سيفضي إلى تهجير عشرات العائلات وتشريدهم، جراء هدم عشرات المنازل.

وشدد على أن هذه الخطوة تشكل سابقة خطيرة في تاريخ القدس، وبداية لهدم أحياء بأكملها، وترحيل جماعي، بهدف تفريغ المدينة من سكانها الأصليين، حيث تعتبر بلدة سلوان الحامية الجنوبية للمسجد الأقصى المبارك ومحرابه، وتحاول سلطات الاحتلال اقتلاع السكان العرب منها من خلال الاستيلاء على الأراضي والبيوت، أو هدمها، وإحلال المستوطنين فيها.

ورحب المجلس بصمود المواطنين في حي الشيخ جراح، وبطن الهوى في سلوان، لافتا إلى أن الاحتلال من خلال نظامه العنصري ضد شعبنا، والاستيلاء على أراضه، وتهجيره من بيوته، يعمل على طمس كل ما هو عربي وإسلامي بالقدس، بهدف تهويدها، داعيا إلى ضرورة ملاحقة الاحتلال في المحافل الدولية.

وأدان المجلس الهجمة الاستيطانية الشرسة التي يقوم بها قطعان المستوطنين بدعم من سلطات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي، التي من ضمنها زيادة عدد الوحدات الاستيطانية، وتوسيعها في الأراضي الفلسطينية جميعها، وخاصة في جالود وترمسعيا وبيتا وحزما والأغوار، داعيا إلى دعمهم ومساندتهم بالإمكانات والوسائل المتاحة.

وأدان المجلس تجديد سلطات الاحتلال منع تلفزيون فلسطين من العمل في مدينة القدس المحتلة، مبينا أن الاحتلال يحاول إسكات الصوت الفلسطيني، الذي يفضح انتهاكاته في القدس وسائر الأراضي المحتلة، من خلال تضييق الخناق على الصحفيين الفلسطينيين.

وبين أن صورة الاحتلال انكشفت للعالم أجمع، ولم تعد روايته وأكاذيبه تنطلي على أحد، مشيدا بعمل وسائل الإعلام الحرة في بيان الحقائق، ومنددا بهذا الصدد بالاعتداء على الصحفيين واعتقالهم، بهدف ثنيهم عن كشف عنصريته.

وحمل سلطات الاحتلال المسؤولية الكاملة عن حياة الأسرى المضربين عن الطعام في سجونها، داعيا إلى ضرورة تلبية حقوقهم الإنسانية، مطالبا الجهات الدولية والمؤسسات الإنسانية بضرورة التحرك لمحاسبتها على جرائمها واعتداءاتها على الأسرى.

وأكد المجلس ضرورة رص الصفوف، ونبذ الفرقة بهدف التوحد وتغليب المصلحة الوطنية على المصالح الحزبية الضيقة، وإعادة جوهر القضية الفلسطينية إلى الواجهة من جديد، مشددا على أهمية الوحدة والتماسك على درب إنهاء الاحتلال، وإقامة الدولة الفلسطينية المستقلة وعاصمتها القدس.

Jenin - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ali Samoudi - The Israeli occupation forces demolished, on Wednesday morning, two houses in the village of Jalboun, near the apartheid wall in Jenin.

Eyewitnesses told Al-Quds.com that the occupation forces, accompanied by two bulldozers, stormed their lands and proceeded to demolish the homes of citizens Khaled Abu Al-Rub and Amir Abu Seif.

Vienna (AFP) - The European Union has presented a "final text" in negotiations to revive the Iran nuclear deal , a European official said Monday, expressing hope that an agreement would be reached "within a few weeks."

"We worked for four days, and today the text has been put before the senior delegates. The negotiations have ended and this is the final text. It will not be renegotiated," the source told reporters, on condition of anonymity.

After a months-long stalemate, diplomats from all the signatories (Iran, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom and France) returned to Vienna last Thursday in an effort to salvage the 2015 agreement.

The 2015 agreement made it possible to lift sanctions against the Islamic Republic in return for reducing its nuclear activities and ensuring the peacefulness of its program.

However, the United States unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018 during the era of its former president, Donald Trump, re-imposing harsh economic sanctions on Iran, which responded by gradually retracting most of its obligations under it.

Iran and the powers participating in the agreement began talks to revive it in April 2021 in Vienna, with the indirect participation of the United States and the facilitation of the European Union.

The European official said, "The ball is now in the court of the (concerned) capitals, and we will see what happens," adding that "a person will not remain in Vienna" for any additional negotiations.

While stressing the "quality" of the text, he said "we very much hope it will be approved" and that an agreement will be reached "within a few weeks".

A major hurdle remains, as Iran is calling on the International Atomic Energy Agency to "completely" end the case of finding traces of nuclear material at undeclared Iranian sites.

Commenting on the matter, the European official said that this issue "has nothing to do with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the official name of the nuclear deal). Meanwhile, Iran insists that it is essential. I hope Iran will reach an agreement (in this regard) with the IAEA." Atomic energy, as this will facilitate many things.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Sunday, "We believe that the IAEA should fully resolve the remaining (nuclear) safeguards issues by adopting a technical path and distancing itself from politically deviant and non-constructive issues."

غزة- “القدس” دوت كوم- أعربت الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين، اليوم الخميس، عن قلقها من تنامي ظاهرة العنف ضد النساء في المجتمع الفلسطيني وتزايد حالات القتل، وذلك بعد مقتل امرأتين في غضون أيام قليلة في قطاع غزة.

ودعت الجبهة في بيان لها، إلى الضرورة الملحة والعاجلة لاتخاذ جملة من الإجراءات التي تضمن توفير الحماية الكاملة للمرأة من العنف الذي تتعرض له، وأهمية تعديل القوانين والتشريعات الفلسطينية لضمان تغليظ وتشديد العقوبات الرادعة بحق مرتكبي هذه الجرائم.

وشددت الجبهة على مسؤولية الجميع من جهات رسمية وقوى ومؤسسات مجتمعية ونسوية وعائلات في البحث الجدي والمشترك عن آليات عملية هدفها حماية المرأة ووقف ظاهرة العنف المستشري ضدها، وما يتطلبه ذلك من إطلاق حملة توعية مركزة في المجتمع الفلسطيني للتأكيد على حقوق المرأة ورفض ظاهرة العنف ضدها، وتقديم كل أشكال الدعم القانوني والنفسي لضحايا العنف، وخلق بيئة مناسبة لتعزيز مبدأ المساوة بين الرجل والمرأة، ومساعدتهن بالاندماج في المجتمع وضمان حقهن بالعمل والميراث، وهذا يستوجب أولاً مواجهة العادات والتقاليد البالية التي وضعت المرأة بشكل دائم في مرمى العنف الدائم والاستهداف المتواصل وحتى القتل. كما جاء في بيانها.

وقالت “إن الوفاء لروح الشهيدة الدكتورة مي عفانة والتي قتلت بدمٍ باردٍ على أيدي جنود الاحتلال، وللمغدورة استبرق بركة التي قتلت على أيدي زوجها ولمواطنة أخرى قتلت أمس بحي الصبرة بغزة تستوجب التصدي بضراوة وفي كل المحافل لجرائم الاحتلال بحق شعبنا وخصوصًا المرأة الفلسطينية كمهمة ملحة، مع أهمية أيضًا مواجهة كل أشكال العنف ضد المرأة بالمجتمع الفلسطيني”.

On the evening of July 15, 2016, the "Fetullah Terrorist Organization" staged a coup attempt against the people and government of Turkey. Their goal was to establish a radical, extremist regime loyal only to their leader, Fethullah Gulen. Units of the Turkish army affiliated with the Fethullah terrorist organization left military headquarters with the aim of controlling key sites in the country, such as the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, and fighter jets and attack helicopters bombed strategic targets including the parliament headquarters, the presidential complex, and army and police headquarters; Thousands of civilians took to the streets to stop the coup attempt. They killed 251 innocent civilians and injured thousands. That night the Turkish people defended democracy. This heroic response was something the conspirators did not expect.
To understand what happened that night, we must understand the truth about the Fathullah terrorist organization, which was founded in the late 1960s on the basis that it was a religious movement, under the guise of promoting education and interfaith dialogue, and managed to cover its malicious intentions.
Members of the Fathullah Terrorist Organization infiltrated widely with the help of the army, police, judiciary and ministries including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs many years ago, and their plans were implemented on the night of July 15, 2016.
Had their attempted coup succeeded, Turkey would have become a very different country than it is today. If democracy would not exist, and basic rights and freedoms would be suspended indefinitely, Turkey would have fallen into the hands of an extremist government.
The Fethullah Terrorist Organization controlled a large number of educational institutions and financial institutions, they were financially supported and money transferred to their bank accounts by prominent members of the Gulen Organization, who lured innocent civilians by manipulating them to join their organization.

In the aftermath of the bloody coup attempt of July 15, 2016, Turkey began a resolute purge of government sectors, including ministries and the army, as well as the private sector of all individuals and companies affiliated with the FETO. Some of the prominent conspirators were arrested, and others were able to escape from justice and flee to foreign countries. The head of the FETÖ terrorist organization, Fethullah Gülen, still resides in the United States. Our government has been calling for years to extradite Gülen to Turkey, and to extradite members of the FETÖ organization living in Europe. , but unfortunately, these requests have not yet been met.
The nature and scope of Turkey's fight against the FETÖ is not different from that of other countries against organizations that carry out terrorist acts against their own citizens and officials alike, and that endanger democratic values, basic rights, and freedoms.
What Turkey is doing against the Gulen Organization is the same thing that those countries have done in their wars against terrorism, and all that Turkey is doing is in accordance with the law.
Terrorism has no nationality, race or religion. This danger threatens humanity. Therefore, the response to this threat must be unified and firm. No country has the luxury of distinguishing between terrorist organizations, and no terrorist organization can be classified as "useful" according to personal interests.
The FETÖ is responsible for killing hundreds of lives and serious crimes against the Turkish people. Six years after their coup attempt, Turkey continues its resolute war against the FETÖ, just as it continues its war against other terrorist organizations such as the PKK, the People's Protection Units, and the DFLP. Revolutionary People's Liberation and ISIS.
We expect the international community to stand in solidarity with Turkey in its fight against terrorism.

وأوضح الدكتور ناصر أبو فرحة مدير المؤسسة، أن فكرة المهرجان بدأت قبل 5 سنوات ، بعدما توجهت المؤسسات لفكرة العمل في انتاج القمح والمفتول والفريكة العضوية.
وقال ” خلال العمل، وجدنا ان السلاسلات المستخدمة بين المزارعين، غالبها مستحدثة وصعب زراعتها بالطريقة العضوية التقليدية البعيدة عن الاسمدة والمبيدات، فتوجهنا لاستعادة السلاسلات الفلسطينية الاصيلة “.

وقال ” جمعنا بعض المزارعين الذين يملكون السلالات الاصيلة في الوديان والجبال وغيرها، وكاثرنا هذه السلاسلات ثم ارجعناها للمزارعين، وبدانا بالزراعه منها، لانها أنجع وبطرق بدون استخدام مواد مدخلات سامة”.
وتابع: “اكتشفتا ان مسألة إستعادة السلاسلات الاصيلة، أدخل في صحة الانسان والاستقلالية الغذائية وعدم تبعية المزارع لشركات، فأسسنا برنامجا متكاملا لاستعادة سلالات القمع الفلسطينية الاصيلة، وبعد نجاحنا اطلقنا مهرجان القمح الاول لما فيه من تراثنا من رونق أخاذ، خاصة وان هذا التراث اساس لفلكورنا “.

وذكر ابوفرحة، ان المهرجان يشمل معرض للسلالات الاصيلة من القمح التي زرعت، وبيادر القمع وماكيناته، وعرض لكيفية عمل الفلاح وطرق زراعته في عدة مناطق كمرج ابن عامر ومرج صانور والوديان والجبال، اضافة لمأكولات شعبية مثل السليقة والفريكة والتي جرى تحضيرها خلال المهرجان .

وأكد أبو فرحة، على أهمية المهرجان على الصعيد الوطني لانه يركز على التراث الذي يشكل أساس العلاقة بيينا وبين الارض والتي يجب ان تكون حقيقية، وأن نشكل وعيا لتراثنا واصالته والقيمه المجتمعية والفكرية .

واضاف ” كل شيء في مجتمعنا نستمده من اصول زراعية بما فيه فلكورنا، وعلينا تثبيتها بطريقة صحيحة لتنعكس على المجتمع وسلوكة الصحيح الذي يبني المتانة والقوة المجتمعية .

وبين الرجوب في كلمة له، إن ما تقدمه مؤسسة كنعان فلسطين للمزارع الفلسطيني له دلالة واضحة بأنها تسعى بكل إمكانياتها في دعم المزارعين وتمكينهم للإستمرار في خدمة الأرض وترسيخ القيم والموروث الثقافي للنشاط الزراعي للحفاظ عليه .

غزة – “القدس” دوت كوم -أُطلق اليوم الخميس، حملة “الحريق حق” بهدف إسناد الأسرى الذين أعادت قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي اعتقالهم بعد تحريرهم ضمن صفقة الجندي الإسرائيلي جلعاد شاليط “وفاء الأحرار” التي تمت في أكتوبر/ تشرين أول 2011.

جاء ذلك في مؤتمر صحفي بالتزامن ما بين قطاع غزة والضفة الغربية، بحضور شخصيات وطنية وممثلين عن الفصائل والقوى وكذلك أسرى محررين.

وقال رئيس هيئة شؤون الأسـرى والمحررين قدري أبو بكر، خلال مؤتمر من رام الله، إن الاحتلال باعادة اعتقال الأسـرى المحررين في صفقة شاليط ينتهك بشكل واضح وصريح البنود المتفق عليها في الصفقة، وهذا دليل على ضربه بعرض الحائط جلّ الاتفاقيات التي تتم برعاية دولية وأممية.

وطالب أبو بكر المؤسسات الدولية ومنظمات حقوق الإنسان أن يكون لها موقف جاد وحازم في إلزام الاحتلال بالاتفاقيات الموقعة وعلى رأسها بنود صفقة شاليط.

من جهته قال زكي دبابش منسق لجنة الأسرى والقوى الوطنية في قطاع غزة، إن الحملة تهدف لإسناد الأسرى الذين أعيد اعتقالهم بعد تحررهم بصفقة “وفاء الأحرار”، وتجديد الاحتلال الأحكام السابقة بحقهم في انتهاك واضح وفاضح لاتفاق وبنود الصفقة التي تمت برعاية دولية ووساطة مصر وبإطلاع المؤسسات الدولية المعنية بشؤون الأسرى.

وناشد دبابش الجهات الدولية الراعية للاتفاق وخاصة مصر، بالضغط على دولة الاحتلال وإلزامها باحترام حقوق الإنسان وتطبيق صفقة التبادل التي أطلقت بموجبها المقاومة سراح الجندي شاليط.

وبين أن الحملة تهدف إلى تعرية الرواية العنصرية للاحتلال حول الأسرى الفلسطينيين وفضح جرائمه في انتهاك الاتفاقيات الدولية وحقوق الإنسان، إلى جانب نشر الوعي حول الأسرى والمعتقلين الفلسطينيين وهم الضحية الحقيقية التي تنزف دمًا بين أنياب الجلاد في ظل التقصير الدولي والعدالة الدولية والإنسانية. كما قال.

وأضاف “نسعى من خلال الحملة إلى تحويل قضية المحررين الذين أعيد اعتقالهم لقضية رأي عام دولي ومعركة سياسية سينتصر فيها الكف على المخرز”.

وتابع “نهدف إلى إثارة هذه القضية العادلة والمقدسمة على كل منصات التواصل والمنابر الإعلامية”، داعيًا الصحفيين ووسائل الإعلام للمساهمة في تسويق الرواية الفلسطينية وكسر كل الشعارات العنصرية في مساواة الضحية بالجلاد.

ولفت دبابش إلى أنه سيتم تسليم رسائل للمنظمات الدولية والإنسانية وممثلي الاتحاد الأوروبي بغزة حول قضيتهم وتجديد الأحكام السابقة بحقهم وعلى رأسهم الأسير المحرر نائل البرغوثي الذي أعيد اعتقاله في يونيو/ حزيران 2014.

وأشار إلى أنه سيتم تنظيم ورشة عمل الاثنين المقبل حول هذه القضية بمشاركة مختصين وممثلين عن مؤسسات دولية للضغط على الاحتلال للإفراج عنهم.

Washington (AFP) - The United States said Tuesday it remains open to talks with North Korea, despite leader Kim Jong-un's "provocations" by vowing to accelerate his country's nuclear activity.

US State Department spokesman Ned Price said, "We remain open to engaging in diplomacy and dialogue with North Korea" on ending its nuclear program.

"But we also have an obligation to deal with the recent provocations that we have seen from North Korea, including the recent launches of two intercontinental missiles," he told reporters.

And the US official considered that the speech that Kim made on Monday night during a military parade in Pyongyang confirms the validity of "our assessment that North Korea poses a threat to international peace and security and to the international order regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons."

Kim pledged to work to "strengthen and develop" his country's nuclear arsenal, in a speech he delivered while attending a military parade in Pyongyang that included a display of intercontinental missiles, state media reported Tuesday.

Despite being subject to severe sanctions, North Korea has accelerated efforts to modernize its military capabilities, and conducted tests on banned weapons this year, ignoring US offers for talks, at a time when observers warned that the Stalinist regime might resume its nuclear tests.

In his speech, Kim said, "We will continue at the fastest pace to take steps to enhance and develop our country's nuclear capabilities."

He added, "Nuclear force, the symbol of our national strength and the core of our military power, should be strengthened in terms of quality and scale."

And while the North Korean leader stressed that "the primary mission of our nuclear weapons is deterrence, but our nuclear weapons cannot be limited to a single mission that is deterrence," he threatened that "if a force attempts to rob our country's basic interests, our nuclear power will have no other choice but to complete its second mission." .

باريس- (أ ف ب) -يحيي جنوب السودان ذكرى مرور عشر سنوات على استقلاله في التاسع من تموز/يوليو. في ما يلي لمحة عن أول عقد دامٍ عاشته الدولة الأحدث في العالم وشهد حربا أهلية أودت بحياة 380 ألف شخص.

في التاسع من تموز/يوليو، أعلن جنوب السودان استقلاله عن السودان بعد ست سنوات من الحكم الذاتي وعقدين من الحرب.
تولى الرئاسة سلفا كير وعيّن رياك مشار نائبا له. تزّعم الخصمان المنتميان إلى قبيلتين مختلفتين “الحركة الشعبية لتحرير السودان” التي قادت التحرّك من أجل الاستقلال.
واستحوذ جنوب السودان على ثلاثة أرباع احتياطات النفط التابعة للسودان بينما حافظت الخرطوم على سيطرتها على جميع أنابيب النفط ومنشآت التصدير.
وكانت من بين القضايا الشائكة مسألة ترسيم حدود جديدة ووضع مناطق متنازع عليها غنية بالنفط مثل أبيي.
بين آذار/مارس وأيار/مايو، دارت مواجهات بين البلدين على خلفية حق استغلال حقول النفط المحيطة ببلدة إهليلج الحدودية والواقعة ضمن أراضي السودان.
احتلت قوات جنوب السودان لمدة وجيزة المنطقة التي تساهم في نصف إنتاج الخام.
واندلع سجال بشأن تكاليف مرور خط النفط فيما صادر السودان ملايين البراميل من خام جنوب السودان.
توقف جنوب السودان عن الإنتاج في كانون الثاني/يناير لأكثر من عام، متهما الخرطوم بسرقة نفطه.

في 23 تموز/يوليو، أقال كير نائبه مشار وجميع وزراء الحكومة ونوابهم وعددا من ضباط الشرطة.
واتّهمه مشار بالتصرّف “بدكتاتورية”.
بعد ليلة من القتال في العاصمة جوبا، أكد كير في 16 كانون الأول/ديسمبر بأن قواته أحبطت محاولة انقلاب نفّذها مشار، والذي نفى بدوره الأمر.
اشتبكت وحدات عسكرية متخاصمة داخل الجيش في جوبا واتسع نطاق القتال ليتجاوز العاصمة، إذ غذّته الخصومة بين قبيلة الدنكا التي يتحدّر منها كير والنوير التي ينتمي إليها مشار.

Seoul - (AFP) - Two South Koreans, one of whom is an army captain, have been arrested for stealing military secrets with the aim of sending them to a North Korean agent in return for payment in cryptocurrency, Seoul police said Friday.

One of the spies, a 29-year-old army captain, is suspected of having sent a North Korean agent information allowing access to the South Korean military's internal communications network.

The second is a 38-year-old businessman who owns a virtual portfolio management company. It is suspected that, at the request of a Pyongyang agent, he provided the first suspect with a bracelet equipped with a hidden camera so that he could collect intelligence information more easily.

The second suspect is also accused of having bought and collected parts of a "USB" device that allows hacking a computer quickly, with the aim of gaining access to the South Korean military communications system.

"The two men have been arrested on charges of violating the national security law," a South Korean national police official told AFP.
According to Seoul police, the businessman began communicating with the North Korean client six years ago, through a virtual group dedicated to cryptocurrency. The suspects were communicating via Telegram.
The businessman is suspected of receiving about $600,000 in cryptocurrency, and the military about $38,000, from a Pyongyang agent in return for their services, according to police.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The technical teams emanating from the investigation committee charged with uncovering the circumstances of the "cyber" attack on the Ministry of Health's servers were able to retrieve all the files targeted by hacking, by following special criteria that led to identifying the source, nature and containment of the attack.

The committee revealed, in a statement issued on Friday evening, that the source of the attack was external, not internal, in the context of a cyber attack that targeted the Palestinian “cyber” domain during the past weeks, which led to the exposure of information systems and databases in the Ministry of Health, and a number of public and private institutions to encryption. , with the so-called "ransom virus" known worldwide; However, the protection systems in some of the targeted institutions prevented the hackers from penetrating them.

The committee, which was formed by a decision of the Council of Ministers and headed by the Minister of Interior, Major General Ziyad Hab Al-Rih, affirmed that its technical teams for the cyber security team, consisting of: the police, the Preventive Security, the General Intelligence, the Ministry of Communications, and the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers; Supervised by the Committee’s Rapporteur, Director General of Police, Major General Youssef Al-Helou, it succeeded, after continuous work without interruption, around the clock, by working to create a safe environment, decrypting the target systems, restoring all pirated data, and restarting it 100% until 8/25. It is the day before that data was exposed to a “cyber” attack, by working to develop an immediate plan, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and partner parties, to ensure the continued provision of services to citizens; using an alternative backup system; Within a secure cyber environment, while work was in progress to decrypt the target servers.

The committee confirmed that its investigations will continue to ensure that measures are taken to prevent a recurrence of what happened, and that it will issue its recommendations and conclusions, after completing its investigations in ministries and public institutions, to ensure the safety of storing and preserving the data of those institutions and their application of standards for the protection and safety of their electronic systems.

Strasbourg (France) (AFP) - Under pressure from European Union member states worried about the approach of winter, the European Commission on Tuesday presented details of its proposals aimed at controlling energy prices by dealing with price instability in the gas market.

Faced with deep divisions among the bloc's 27 countries over the idea of a price cap, Brussels is introducing measures "subject to maximum unanimity", as the Commission emphasized.

The proposals, which will be unveiled in Strasbourg, will be reviewed Thursday and Friday by heads of state and government at a summit meeting in Brussels before their possible adoption in November.

On Tuesday, the Commission will introduce a reform of the gas market index "TTF", which European operators consider a benchmark for transactions and which, according to it, is fueled by speculation "artificially".

The idea is to replace it within six months with an alternative index that is more representative of real supplies.

Until then, Brussels recommends a "temporary mechanism" to correct gas prices. According to a European source, it would be a "dynamic corridor" (a flexible range in which prices are allowed to fluctuate) to frame transactions in the TTF market, making it possible to mitigate volatility and avoid any sharp rise.

On the other hand, Brussels wants to force member states to agree to joint purchases of gas at the level of the European Union for the next season to fill stocks in order to obtain better prices from "reliable" suppliers (Norway and the United States...) and to prevent the bloc countries from rivalry.

European Union member states gave the go-ahead in March to launch a joint procurement platform, but no deal was concluded through it and countries continued to negotiate unilaterally.

Now, the Commission wants to involve the private sector more through a consortium of importing companies.

The Commission will also propose an enhanced solidarity framework for countries at risk of supply shortages, and additional tools to reduce gas consumption: in the face of different efforts between countries, Germany and the Netherlands have called for "more ambitious and binding targets".

The European economy is suffering badly from Russia cutting its supplies of hydrocarbons, on which the bloc relies heavily.

But the European Union is facing great difficulty in finding a common response, with diverging interests between countries, such as France, which bets on nuclear energy, or Germany, which depends on coal, or countries linked to Russian hydrocarbons in Central Europe.

"The prices are insane: we agree on the diagnosis, but we are still discussing the appropriate treatment," Roberto Chengolani, Italy's Minister of Environmental Transition, summed it up on Wednesday.

In this context, the Commission should not propose capping the price of gas that electricity suppliers buy for their thermal plants, according to the previously mentioned European source.

This system, applied in Portugal and Spain, allows electricity prices to drop automatically.

France supports the idea of expanding it to include the rest of the European Union and has pledged to persuade other member states to adopt it. However, this mechanism raises the mistrust of countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, which reject state intervention in the markets and fear the risks of increasing demand for gas due to the increased appetite of electricity suppliers.

But at their meeting, the 27 countries may agree to "explore" the measure, according to draft conclusions seen by AFP.

On the other hand, it seems that the idea of capping gas import prices, which was mentioned by the Commission in early November and then demanded by 15 member states, including France, has become forgotten.

It is an idea that Berlin has opposed, fearing it could exacerbate tensions in LNG supplies in a tight global market.

During a meeting in Prague in early November, European leaders expressed their concerns about the economic and social consequences of inflation.

"If we don't find a solution, people will end up on the streets, a weak economy, bankruptcy, less popular support for climate policies and aid for Ukraine. This winter will be decisive," Czech Industry Minister Josef Sekela said last week.

Tunisia - (dpa) - The Tunisian Ministry of Defense announced today, Monday, the recovery of the body of a migrant and the rescue of 97 immigrants of several foreign nationalities in three separate interventions by the Army of the Sea.

And the Tunisian navy rescued, in the intervention of the first 68 migrants, who had set off from the Libyan coast on the night between the first and second day of this July, towards the European coast, before their boat broke down and they took refuge in a gas production platform 70 km from the island of Kerkennah in the state of Sfax (center). Tunisia).

Among the surviving migrants , 37 are from Egypt, 13 from Bangladesh, 12 from Syria, 2 from Somalia and 4 from Sudan, according to the ministry's statement.

The naval units also recovered the body of a migrant from a sub-Saharan African country.

In a second phase, the Tunisian navy rescued two boats off the coast of Sfax with 29 Tunisian immigrants on board.

Secret migration boats are more active with the stabilization of the climate in the summer period in the Mediterranean basin.

The rescue operations come in the wake of the sinking of a boat near the coast of the island of Djerba in the south, which led to the death of six migrants and the survival of 11 migrants.

The Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, which deals with migration, counted the death and missing of about 400 immigrants near the Tunisian coast this year until the end of last May.

Washington - "Jerusalem" dot com - Saeed Erekat - The American researcher, Nelly Lahoud, who worked for years on reviewing and translating documents obtained by the United States, during the raid that killed the former al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, in 2011, revealed that he was planning another target. Greater than just killing Americans in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Lahoud revealed the contents of these documents on the famous "Sixty Minutes" program on CBS on Sunday.

The US Special Forces of the US Navy killed bin Laden in his residential compound in Abbottabad on the first of May 2011 and obtained during the operation thousands of documents containing letters and personal notes.

In 2017, the CIA declassified most of these messages, but they were left without context and unorganized.

During the past years, the Islamic writer and researcher, Nelly Lahoud, who studied at Harvard and Cambridge Universities, spent several years researching and examining these letters carefully.

CBS website said. In 2012, the CIA declassified the first 17 documents, and Lahoud was asked to analyze those documents.

Over the past five years I have read, analyzed and translated the remaining declassified documents in consultation with US generals and Special Forces commanders.

In her new book, The Bin Laden Papers, the author explained in detail her analysis of the nearly 6,000 pages of these documents that she reviewed.

The researcher explains in two interviews on the "60 Minutes" program that immediately after the attacks of September 11, al-Qaeda did not expect the United States to wage a major war against it, only expecting limited air strikes.

New translations of Osama bin Laden's personal documents show that the purpose of 9/11 was not only to kill Americans, but to incite protests within the United States.

"It was a huge miscalculation," Lahoud said.

A Gallup poll conducted in October 2001 showed that 88 percent of Americans supported military intervention in Afghanistan.

She explains that bin Laden "believed that the American people would take to the streets to repeat the protests against the Vietnam War and would pressure their government to withdraw from Muslim-majority countries."

In a letter from 2010, bin Laden says that direct pressure can be exerted on "the White House, Congress and the Pentagon ... when al Qaeda directly affects the American people."

In the years after 9/11, bin Laden had plans for other attacks aimed at fomenting "popular anger and domestic opposition" on American soil.

The researcher explains in her book that in a speech to the organization in 2005, bin Laden said that priority should be given to attacks in America.

With the difficulty of carrying out good attacks with aircraft, he offered to target American railways by "removing 12 meters of track so that a train could derail and explain the simple set of tools they could use."

But he failed to implement the plan after the organization became "helpless," according to a message from an al-Qaeda field commander.

The message sent by the leader, Bin Laden, says: "We Muslims have been desecrated, our state has been torn apart, our lands have been occupied, and our wealth has been plundered."

Osama bin Laden planned another terrorist attack in 2010 against crude oil tankers and key shipping routes throughout the Middle East and Africa.

But it seems that his final plan of attack was halted by the "Arab Spring" protests, which were confusing and disturbing to him.

Tokyo - (AFP) - Despite their small size, and being smaller than the thickness of a hair, three grains of dust carry a history that extends billions of years to an asteroid , and store many of its secrets.

The three particles from the Itokawa asteroid revealed that this type of space object is much older than previously thought, and is much more solid.

This entails a review of plans in place to avoid a collision with the planet, according to a study published Monday in the "Proceedings" journal of the US National Academy of Sciences.

The three samples were brought in 2005 from the asteroid, when it was about 300 million kilometers from Earth. Five years later, the Japanese space probe "Hayabusa" transported these samples to Earth, along with hundreds of other particles from Itokawa.

Professor at the Faculty of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Australian Curtin University Fred Jordan sought to know the age of Itokawa, a type of asteroid described as having a "loose mass".

It is caused by the aggregation of fragments of a compact asteroid that was shattered by the impact.

It is known that compact asteroids have a lifetime of a few hundred million years, and that they are gradually eroding due to collisions with other asteroids.

Loose-mass asteroids, such as Itokawa, have a very different structure, containing a variety of rocks, dust, pebbles, and even voids, held together by a small effect of gravity.

Professor Jordan likened it to "a giant pillow in space, and pillows are capable of absorbing shocks."

To find out to what degree, the team analyzed the crystal structure of the samples, looking for deformations from the collision that created Itokawa, and dating them.

The researchers concluded that Itokawa was formed after a collision that occurred at least 4.2 billion years ago, which is approximately the age of Earth (4.5 billion years), but more importantly, it is ten times older than the age of homogeneous asteroids of similar size.

Because of the importance of the age of this asteroid, Jordan is convinced that some of his colleagues will not believe him.

The study indicated that the flexibility of this type of space object in the face of collisions leads to the belief that it may be much more than previously thought.

The geochemist said that the result of this is the adaptation of methods of protection from Earth's collision with this type of asteroid.

The "Dart" experiment to deflect an asteroid, which was successfully conducted by the US space agency (NASA) last year, shows that this is possible with an object like Itokawa, according to the scientist. But this would require much greater force to be applied to it, for example with a nuclear warhead, so that "the shock wave would be able to deflect the asteroid from its trajectory".

Gaza - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ahmad Al-Masharawi - Khadamat Al-Nuseirat Club was crowned the Palestinian Super Cup for the first time in its history, by defeating Azzun Club , the champion of West Bank clubs, in the aggregate of the two matches, with a single goal difference, as a result of 56-55, in the return match that ended in favor of Azzun, with a score of 28-24 between the two teams, at Azzun’s home stadium at Saad Sail Hall in Gaza, sponsored by Jawwal. Azzun needed to win by 5 goals from its rival, Nuseirat, to win the title.

The match and coronation were attended by many legal, official and sports personalities, led by Abdul Salam Haniyeh, Assistant Secretary General of the Supreme Council, Jamal Abu Youssef, President of the Handball Federation, Riyad Salim, President of Azzun Club, Iyad Kulab, President of Nusseirat Services Club, and Iyad Al Maghari, Mayor of Nusseirat Municipality.

And a large crowd of fans who gathered above and outside the hall stands and in front of the gates, which prompted the organizers to put an outdoor screen in front of the fans to follow the match and the coronation.

Khidmat al-Nuseirat won the first-leg match, 32-27, last Thursday in the same hall, where the Handball Federation decided to hold the two matches despite the Israeli army’s ban on 9 Azzun players, which forced it to seek the assistance of three players from Al-Salah Al-Ghazi Association, namely: goalkeeper Wael Al-Hajj. , and Bilal Al-Sabah, and Abdullah Al-Sabah in the upcoming home and away matches, and in a similar step by the Israeli occupation, a number of other Nuseirat services players were prevented from entering the West Bank, which prompted the sports authorities to hold the two matches in the Gaza Strip.

After the referee blew his whistle, the grounds of the hall and the stands turned yellow, the color of the Nuseirat shirts, and the masses entered celebrating the coronation, carrying the team coach and the team players on their necks, and roaming the sides of the stadium, amidst cheers praising the performance of the team and its players, leading to the coronation podium, amid sounding horns. The flutes, the waving of team flags, and the joys carried on buses continued into the evening hours.

The match was strong since its inception in terms of leading the attacks and shooting from outside the area, and Nuseirat advanced until the fourth goal through the distinguished Abdul Qadir Al-Ghussain and Abdulaziz Musleh, while Azzun emerged in a calm and more focused way, to enable him to tie 4-4, through his distinguished star Osaid Jawabreh, and with him Amir Sawalha, and Ahmed Athamneh.

The half remained on its strong start between the two teams, who presented a high technical performance and a distinguished level befitting the Palestine Super Final, to tie again 7-7. Nuseirat counterattacked through Al-Ghoussein, Musleh and Islam Abu Dalal, so the first half ended with Azzoun advancing, with a score of 11-14.

In the second half, Azzun took control of the match, and led attacks from both sides and the depth with the launch of Al-Sawalha, Jawabreh and Ahmed Radwan, with his intention to come out winning the half and make the difference with the first match, and Nuseirat responded, who tended to play defensively, and changed his goalkeeper Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh to reduce the danger of his opponent and emerge victorious on aggregate. And the match remained a record, and the progress was in favor of Azzun by scoring goals, and this appeared in the results 15-11, 17-14, 20-15, 23-19, 24-22, 26-22, 27-23, and Ahmed Abu Naji emerged in the reduction of the Nuseirat, In the midst of Azzun’s keenness to advance and increase the difference, the second half ended with a score of 28-24 in favor of Azzun, and Khidmat al-Nuseirat won the title on aggregate in the two matches, and was crowned with the title.

The referee of the meeting: the two referees from the West Bank, Awad Badir, and Ghaith Nassif for the arena, Mikati Muhammad Jaber, and the recorder Khaled Haroun, and commented on the match, the journalist Muhammad Ali Al-Ajlah.

United Nations (United States) - (AFP) - The United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution Tuesday requiring the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to justify their use of vetoes, in a rare reform that drew applause and was revived by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The measure, which directly targets the United States, China, Russia, France and the United Kingdom, the five countries that alone have veto power, was proposed by Liechtenstein to make them "pay a higher political price" when they use their vetoes, said an ambassador from a country that does not have veto power, who requested anonymity. .

However, will the reform prompt the five permanent members to reduce the use of the veto stipulated in the United Nations Charter, or will it have an incentive effect to increase the use of it to stop the passage of unacceptable texts?

Only the future can answer this question. Some countries may push the United States to veto texts on Israel. On the other hand, Washington can put forward a draft resolution to tighten sanctions on North Korea, which has been under discussion for several weeks, for a vote in the Security Council, despite knowing that Moscow and Beijing will veto it.

The reform, which was presented for the first time two and a half years ago, stipulates that the General Assembly convene "within ten working days after the opposition of one or more permanent members of the Security Council to discuss the situation that prompted it to use the veto."

Nearly 100 countries have joined Liechtenstein to sponsor this text, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and all European Union member states.

Russia and China did not join the parties that presented the text, which would further contribute to the "division" of the United Nations, said a Russian diplomat who requested anonymity before adopting it.

The Ambassador of Liechtenstein, Christian Wenawesser, confirmed that the project "does not target anyone," stressing that it is "not directed against Russia," while voting on it after fruitless attempts for more than two years coincides with the paralysis of the Security Council to stop the Russian invasion due to Moscow's right of veto.

As for the United States, Russia has been taking advantage of its veto power for two decades, and the approved text makes it possible to address this matter.

Christian Wenawesser said the resolution aims to "strengthen the role of the United Nations, multilateralism and the voices of all of us who do not have the right of veto and are not represented in the Security Council on matters of international peace and security."
The text is non-binding and nothing prevents a state that used the right of veto from not appearing to justify it before the General Assembly. An ambassador said, on condition of anonymity, that its immediate application would "shed light" on the use of this right and on the "obstruction processes" in the Security Council.
In addition to the five permanent members of the Security Council, the Council also includes ten members who are elected for two-year terms that do not have veto power.

Among the sponsors of the resolution, in addition to Ukraine, are Japan and Germany, two countries that aspire to obtain permanent membership in the event that the Security Council is expanded - an expansion that has reached a dead end for years - to better represent today's world.

But neither Brazil, which indicated on Tuesday that its veto power could be useful in securing peace, nor India, the other country seeking permanent membership, are on the list of sponsors obtained by AFP.

Since the first veto used by the Soviet Union in 1946 in the Syrian and Lebanese files, Russia has resorted to it 143 times, while the United States has used it only 86 times, the United Kingdom 30 times, and China and France each 18 times.

Stockholm - "Jerusalem" dot com - Skyline International for Human Rights has expressed its deep concern about the escalation of violations against Palestinian content on social media, which are constantly monitored, stressing that the policy of restriction and prosecution pursued by those sites must be ended immediately.

The organization said in a statement issued today, Saturday, that it considers with great seriousness the shocking numbers of documented violations against Palestinian content through social media, in conjunction with the International Social Media Day, which falls on June 30 of each year, calling on those sites to respect Relevant international conventions and human rights rules for companies that guarantee freedom of publication and participation without restrictions or conditions.

And "Skyline" indicated that the "Journalist Support Committee" recorded more than 98 violations during the first half of this year 2022, as social media companies deleted, blocked and restricted many news sites and channels through "YouTube" and "Instagram" and " Facebook".

The committee stated, in a statement issued by it, that “among the violations, the Meta company deleted news groups affiliated with Al-Aqsa satellite channel via the WhatsApp application, as the number of deleted groups reached 20 news groups, and the YouTube administration also deleted several episodes of a series it produced.” The Middle Town Company, in cooperation with Al-Quds Al-Youm channel in the Gaza Strip, is broadcast by several Palestinian and Arab channels.

In its statement, the committee pointed out that “Facebook” deleted several pages of the “Quds Press” agency, and the “Encyclopedia of Palestinian Camps” page, which is the largest Palestinian documentation page on social media, while the “Tik Tok” platform and Facebook banned the Al-Qastal network. Al-Akhbariya from publishing, which is the network specialized in covering the events of Jerusalem, under the pretext of violating the standards and conditions of service.

The international organization indicated that the escalation of violations against Palestinian content coincided with the beginning of the popular and electronic movement that was launched by Palestinian activists in May of last year, which expanded to reach most countries of the world against the backdrop of Israeli violations against Palestinians in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, the events of Jerusalem and the Israeli aggression. On Gaza, confirming that the Israeli authorities - at the same time - submitted dozens of requests to social networking sites in order to restrict Palestinian content.

And "Skyline" stressed that the shocking numbers and unjustified practices that are continuously monitored by social networking sites constitute a clear violation of the legal rules that guarantee freedom of opinion, expression and publication, stressing that the competent international bodies must exercise their role in monitoring the work of these sites. .

The organization highlighted the importance of the "integrity and oversight committees" on social media taking concrete decisions against dozens of complaints that are sent on a daily basis by thousands of individuals whose accounts are subjected to unjustified harassment and restrictions.

Skyline concluded its statement by emphasizing that companies that own social media are required to respect the rules of international law and legal principles that guarantee in their various texts freedom of opinion and expression, and to reject any practice that would prejudice those rights or restrict individuals in their enjoyment of them, stressing that any infringement or The derogation of these rights constitutes a legal violation that requires accountability.
