Turkish resentment and an ambiguous Qatari position... Will the Syrian regime refrain from meeting the leadership of Hamas?!

Beirut - Exclusive "Al-Quds" dot com - Well-informed Palestinian sources revealed today, Thursday, that the Syrian regime has not yet responded to attempts by mediators to bridge views between it and Hamas , in light of the movement's decision taken several months ago to restore relations with the regime in Damascus. For his part, he achieves an improvement in his control over many lands, as well as in his relations with Arab, Islamic and other countries.


According to the sources that spoke to Al-Quds.com , several parties intervened and made contacts, some formally and others informally, with some officials in the Syrian regime, with the knowledge of the Hamas leadership. However, these efforts have not yet achieved any breakthrough, and there is a state of apathy. It prevails by the leadership in Damascus towards the movement after its position on the events that began in the country in 2012.


The sources said that the restoration of relations between Hamas and the Syrian regime will require more time, and years may pass until they return again, indicating that the movement is interested in opening up relations again with the Syrian regime and other countries and parties in the context of its attempt to confront the changes taking place in the region and the alliances that are being built to try to serve Normalization and the Israeli occupation.


According to the sources, Hamas' decision to restore its relationship with the Syrian regime in particular aroused the anger and resentment of the Turkish leadership, which in turn did not talk to the movement about the issue, but it is an issue that is expected to be discussed in any official or unofficial meetings between the two sides.

It is remarkable that he did not know Qatar's position on Hamas' decision, especially since Doha is one of the countries that most opposes the return of the Syrian regime to the Arab League and the official system in the region.

While the Muslim Brotherhood did not show any position on Hamas' decision, some clerics and scholars conveyed a message advising the movement's leadership to reconsider its decision.


The scholars said in their message: The decision has "great corruptions, and it is not consistent with the principles, values, and legal controls, and this, in the view of those present, requires that the movement review and re-study it in the light of what the scholars mentioned."

The scholars pointed out that Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, promised to present the issue again to the leadership of the movement.

Hamas did not comment on that message, but confirmed, through the words of leaders Musa Abu Marzouk and Khalil al-Hayya, that there are contacts to restore relations with the Syrian regime and other parties.

Sources told Al-Quds.com , on the twenty-first of this month, that there are no developments in the file of restoring relations with Syria, which was taken months after the election of the new political bureau in August of last year.

At the time, the sources indicated that the political bureau of Hamas took the decision within the framework of opening up to all sides and improving relations with all Arab and international parties, noting that some Palestinian factions played a role in trying to bridge points of view, especially in light of the development of relations between the Palestinian resistance and the axis of resistance in the region. .

Reuters had quoted sources in Hamas as saying that the movement had decided to resume its relations with Syria ten years after its leadership boycotted Damascus because of its opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's campaign against his rule.

According to "Reuters", an official in the movement, who requested anonymity, said that "the two parties held meetings at higher leadership levels to achieve this."

Reconnecting the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant to the electricity grid

Vienna, (AFP) - Ukraine's Zaporizhia nuclear power plant has been reconnected to the electricity grid, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday, describing it as a "temporary respite in the face of an unsustainable situation".


The Agency had announced on Saturday that this nuclear facility in southern Ukraine, the largest in Europe, had lost its last external source of electricity due to the renewed bombing, and had now relied on emergency generators in order to secure the current it needed to perform some safety functions, including cooling all six of its suspended reactors.


"Our teams in Zaporizhia confirm that the external feeder line that was lost yesterday (Saturday) has been restored, and that (the station) has been reconnected to the grid, which constitutes a temporary respite in the face of an untenable situation," IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi wrote on his Twitter account. bear it."


The director of the UN agency added, "We need a protection zone" around the station, pointing out that he intends to go to Russia, and that he will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky soon, "with the aim of establishing this zone."


In March, Russian forces took control of the Zaporizhia station, located in southern Ukraine, on the banks of the Dnieper River.


Russia officially announced on Wednesday the acquisition of the station, after it annexed four Ukrainian regions in one of which the facility is located, based on "referendums" for self-determination that were not recognized by the international community.

Hezbollah turns its first training camp into a "landmark for jihadist tourism"

Janta (Lebanon) - (AFP) - Hezbollah on Friday laid the foundation stone for a "jihadist tourism landmark" in the first camp established by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon to train fighters from the party in the Janta region in the east of the country.


"The first training camp for the Islamic resistance in Lebanon, and the first military course for training and graduating fighters for the Islamic resistance in Lebanon," said Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in a speech he delivered during the foundation stone-laying ceremony.


The Iranian Revolutionary Guard took over the camp in 1982 and worked to expand it after it had been used for years by the Amal Movement, which is today led by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.


And he participated in the first sessions of the Janta training camp, the former Secretary General of Hezbollah, Abbas al-Musawi, who was assassinated by Israel in 1992.


According to Nasrallah, the camp was subjected to Israeli bombing several times, claiming the lives of Lebanese fighters and Iranian trainers.


Hezbollah no longer relied on this camp, which expanded gradually and witnessed many training courses, and opened several training camps in other regions.


At the Janta site, located in the eastern outskirts of the Lebanese Bekaa, Friday, military vehicles were placed and Hezbollah members deployed in the surrounding hills, with the participation of a few hundred people, including party officials.


Hezbollah broadcast a video showing its fighters during military exercises in the camp.


The laying of the foundation stone for the Janta landmark comes at the end of two months, during which Hezbollah held several activities on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of its founding.


Hezbollah was founded in 1982 in the wake of the Israeli invasion with the support of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and joined leftist groups that confronted the Israeli forces, and became the most prominent force that contributed to the liberation of the south after nearly 22 years of occupation.


The landmark of Janta is the second "tourist" site set up by Hezbollah.


In 2010, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the liberation of southern Lebanon from the Israeli occupation, Hezbollah opened the "Mleeta Museum for Jihadi Tourism" in Iqlim al-Tuffah (south), in a military site that its fighters used as a base to launch operations against the Israeli army.


Lebanon and Israel are officially at war. In July 2006, Israel launched a devastating 33-day assault on Lebanon, after Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. The war killed 1,200 people in Lebanon, most of them civilians, and 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers.


Recently, Nasrallah warned of the outbreak of a war that he considered might subject Israel to Lebanon's conditions in the event that it is prevented from extracting oil and gas from its waters, at a time when the US mediation continues in the file of demarcating the maritime borders.

Are we facing a Lebanese-Israeli naval Oslo, or a devastating regional war?!

Written by: Muhammad Al-Nubani


I firmly believe that Israel would not have ventured to rent a huge British ship specialized in extracting oil and gas from the depths of the sea and bring it to the disputed Karish marine area between Lebanon and the Israeli entity in order to start its work in extracting oil and gas from the aforementioned field if it did not have assurances that reach the level of certainty , by its allies in Lebanon that this ship will not be exposed to any harm from Hezbollah specifically.


This party participating in the Lebanese government and allied with Lebanese President Michel Aoun and his party, the Free Patriotic Movement, which is currently headed by Gebran Bassil, has repeatedly declared that the decision of war and peace in Lebanon is in the hands of the Lebanese state and not in his hand.


This was reaffirmed by Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, in his exclusive interview with Reuters on Monday, specifically when he said that his party would not use force to deter Israel because of what is happening in Karish unless the Lebanese government declares that what is happening is an Israeli attack on Lebanon's oil and gas rights in the sea.


It goes without saying that Aoun, who did not even dare to sign Decree 6422 regarding the amendment of the navy, and Najib Mikati, who obeys Saudi orders, will not dare to say that, because resorting to resistance as an option to restore rights is not included in their dictionary and contradicts their interests.


The choice of Aoun and Mikati is negotiations on the rule laid down by Anwar Sadat, according to which 99% of the solution cards are in the hands of America.


Therefore, Aoun and Miqati asked the American envoy for negotiations to demarcate the maritime borders between Lebanon and Israel, Amos Hochstein, who, by the way, is an American Jew born in Tel Aviv and served in the Israeli army and holds both American and Israeli citizenships, to come to Beirut to initiate indirect negotiations with Israel regarding the Karish field and demarcation. Maritime borders between Lebanon and the Israeli entity.


Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz immediately agreed with this call, who made press statements on Monday confirming that the dispute with Lebanon over gas will be resolved through diplomatic means and with American mediation.


In order not to get bogged down in the details, the concrete analysis of the tangible reality and the benefit from the Palestinian-Israeli negotiation experience, in particular, know that whoever bets on American mediation to resolve a dispute with Israel over an issue is necessarily a loser.


America is the main enemy of all the Arab and Islamic peoples and all peoples yearning for liberation from the domination of capitalist brutality, and it is a partner with Israel in all the crimes it commits against the Palestinian people.


Any talk of an honest American mediator when it comes to Israel is nonsense and a fantasy, even if this mediator is not a Zionist-Israeli who holds American citizenship like Amos Forkstein, who served in the Israeli army and considers Israel's security at the forefront of his priorities.


Accordingly, if the Lebanese resistance does not enter the line and deter Israel at sea, as it is deterred on land, then Lebanon, whose people suffer from poverty, deprivation and hardship, will remain a failed state forever and ever, and with time it will join the ranks of the normalizers with Israel.


It remains to say that Israel's medic to speed up the theft of Lebanese oil and gas is done in coordination with the Biden administration, which has an interest in exporting the gas extracted from the "Karish" field to Europe as an alternative to Russian gas and to hit the Russian economy.


Will the Lebanese resistance allow this satanic project to see the light?!


This is what the coming hours, days and weeks will answer.

Norrigan Air Shuttle intends to buy 50 Boeing aircraft

Oslo (AFP) - Low-cost Norwegian airline Norwegian Air Shuttle announced Monday that it plans to buy 50 Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes, in an extra dose of support for the US planemaker, which has been in crisis since two of its planes crashed.


And a statement from the Norwegian company stated that the fifty aircraft will be delivered between the years 2025 and 2028, which is approximately the same period in which its lease contracts expire, noting that the deal includes an option to purchase 30 additional aircraft.


The order brings relief to Boeing, especially to the department involved in developing the 737 Max 8, which was grounded for 20 months after 346 people were killed in two crashes of this type.


"Norwegian" and "Boeing" have been involved in a legal dispute for years, and the Norwegian company is asking the American manufacturer for compensation due to problems related to the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner aircraft for long distances.


Norwegian did not disclose on Monday if the order was part of the dispute settlement.


The Norwegian company said that the deal is subject to "several conditions of completion", hoping to be completed by the end of June.


Currently, "Norwegian" operates 61 aircraft, and is seeking to increase its fleet to 70 aircraft this summer and to 85 aircraft next summer.


Struggled by overly optimistic expansion plans, technical issues and the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company narrowly avoided bankruptcy last year through an extensive restructuring process that led to several results including the abandonment of long-haul flights, the reduction of its fleet and the cancellation of several orders.


On the other hand, the "Norwegian" order reinforces the recovery path of the 737 MAX model, of which the "International Airlines Group", which owns British Airways "British Airways", requested the purchase of 50 aircraft of it, with the possibility of increasing the number to 150.

Hocus pocus fall, and others await

Written by: Hamdi Farrag


On this day in history, the memory of the assassination of Ghassan Kanafani fifty years ago jumps every time, coinciding this year with the stand of Arafat and Eid al-Adha, during which - the fifty years - witnessed the fall of many superstitions attributed once to customs and once to religion; The blue bead that hangs at the entrance of the house or on the necks of the children and sometimes on the necks of the sheep for fear of envy, mothers walk barefoot and sometimes they travel to the shrine of the green guardian in fulfillment of a vow be his vow, adjusting the inverted shoe inside the house, not sweeping the house at night for fear of disturbing the jinn, if it The mother was forced to pour water at night to associate it with the Basmala, to enter the bathroom with the right foot, to read whatever supplications were available before going to sleep for fear of the sudden raid of "Azrael", to indoctrinate the deceased before his burial by the sheikh "O Abdullah" so that it would become clear after that that it was a "fad". Stopping it, Al-Fatah who was roaming the streets of the country in search of prey in order to cure diseases and read the horoscope, so he would have dinner and find him a place to stay and get some money and old clothes, pick up any crumb of bread from the ground, kiss it and put it on a high place.


Many are "hogs" that have fallen and disappeared, and most of them are hoaxes that are still common and valid among people, and Ghassan Kanafani is present here strongly, in his unfinished novel "The Blind and the Deaf" who, despite their disabilities, agree to go and examine one of these hoaxes, the tree of the ruler Abdel Ati Atrash lifts his blind friend on his shoulders and feels the "head" and discovers that it is just a fungus that has grown inside the branches of the tree.


Ghassan does not stop at this point in exposing the "khazala" by the "atrash" who works as an employee in the distribution of supplies in the UNRWA, as he sees people but does not hear them and does not understand their screams, and the "blind man" who works in an oven that sells bread, does not see them, but he does not see them. He hears them, his fingers feel the loaves of bread is his way of seeing. However, their victory over the governor Abd al-Ati opened the way for them towards the superstitions of the revolution in the person of the usurper "Mustafa", who seeks prestige, wealth and power, and for which he may be forced to participate in the fighting; He displays his revolver, carries a metal emblem on his chest, puts a bloody map of Palestine on the wall of his office, and lectures about patriotism and sacrifice for the sake of the homeland.


In their decisions, Al-Atrash and Al-Ama realize that after discovering the falsity and delusion of the saint's miracle, Abd Al-Ati, and freeing people from his power over them, they are more powerful than the opportunist "Mustafa" despite their disability.


In Ghassan's fifties, which coincides with Eid al-Adha, we acknowledge that we are still facing many other superstitions. We may need another fifty years to knock them out and uproot them with sacrifices, sufferings and struggles that increase the opening of more of our graves. "The graves of the revolution are without culture, and culture is without revolution." Happy new year to our revolution and our people.

Who killed Ryan?

Written by: Dr. Ramzi Odeh


The Israeli army did not kill Rayan!, With this result, the Israeli occupation army’s investigation report concluded that the seven-year-old Palestinian child, Rayan Suleiman, from the occupied town of Tuqu’ was killed.


Rayan was martyred as a result of the fear he felt when the Israeli forces stormed his house while they were looking for suspected children who threw stones at the settler cars moving in abundance on the main road of the town of Tuqu' in the south of Bethlehem. This fear occurred as a result of the occupation army’s terror and intimidation of civilians, and it not only affected Rayan, but also affected the children of Mrs. Hana Abu Haikal in Tel Rumeida in the Old City of Hebron, who submitted more than 30 complaints, to no avail, against the Israeli police and groups of settlers who stormed her house With their sniffer dogs, they terrorize her children almost every night.


This fear also afflicted 1,300 children who were arrested by the occupation forces in the previous year 2021. This fear is the same that afflicted the families and children of families whose homes were raided by the occupation forces, whose number this year exceeded more than 2,128 cases of raids, according to the OCHA report. .


Unfortunately, everyone in Palestine lives in an environment of fear, at the Israeli checkpoints, and on the roads that connect cities and are dotted with army and settler cars, and during the repeated incursions of the army and settlers. On the other hand, the occupation army systematically and planned to spread everywhere in the West Bank, to frequent house raids, to open fire, to interrogate children and women, to kill civilians, with the aim of spreading fear among Palestinian civilians, imposing domination on them, and preventing them from From thinking of doing any activity against the occupation!


It is clear that the Israeli investigation reports do not recognize the fear resulting from the presence of the occupation and its crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories, as a crime attached to the existence of the crime of occupation! Also, these reports do not recognize international law or the Geneva Conventions, which guarantee the necessity of respecting the dignity of civilians in times of war, preventing them from being intimidated, and preventing raids on their homes, schools, and places of worship in their areas. Not only that, but the results of the Israeli Occupation Army's report on the killing of the child, Rayan, did not mention the word "fear", nor the word "breaking into Rayan's house" because it realizes that the existence of such words would hold its army criminally responsible. In addition, the report tried to hide the fact that the father "Abu Rayan" and his children were interrogated in a humiliating manner. The report stated that the interrogation was outside the house and gently!. Yes, it is true, they are very kind!, they are armed to the teeth, they scream, they shoot, they arrest and beat them, they drive police dogs, they break into homes, they are really kind.. and certainly there is no logical justification for the death of the child Ryan because of fear!


In fact, I did not seek in this article to refute the occupation army's report on Rayan's death, simply because it was a weak report and did not provide any evidence of its findings. However, I wanted from this article to clarify the policy of double standards pursued by Western countries.


We all remember the laws adopted by some European courts, especially the French, to ban the veil in public places because the veil "scares children and exposes them to nightly obsessions." Here, I am not talking about the morality or immorality of the niqab, but I propose, on the other hand, an approach for these Western countries to address those fears, obsessions, terror and anxiety among the children of Palestine, resulting from the presence of the occupation army and its repeated crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories. If the children of Europe are afraid of seeing a woman wearing the niqab, how about the children of Palestine when they see an army armed to the teeth violating their right to a decent life and security?

Churches call on London not to transfer its embassy to Jerusalem

Jerusalem - (AFP) - Today, Monday, the churches of Jerusalem expressed their "grave concern" about the United Kingdom's declared intention to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the city of Jerusalem, as the United States did.


Last month, British Prime Minister Liz Terrace told her Israeli counterpart, Yair Lapid, of her intention to "review the current location of the British Embassy in Israel," a declaration welcomed by Israel and condemned by the Palestinians.


Such a decision would follow in the footsteps of former President Donald Trump's controversial decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018, a measure left behind by Joe Biden.


Jerusalem church leaders on Monday expressed their "grave concern" that Britain would follow the example of the United States, according to a joint statement.


The churches consider Israel's occupation and annexation of East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians aspire to make as the capital of their future state, "unacceptable," and called on the UK to "redouble its diplomatic efforts" to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict instead of moving the embassy.


For the United Nations, the status of Jerusalem must be the subject of agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and in the meantime, countries should not open their embassies in Israel there.


The churches said that "the current religious situation in Jerusalem is necessary to maintain harmony in the Holy City and good relations between religious communities around the world."

His family, especially his daughter, who was preparing for her wedding before his last abduction from his home in the town of Arraba.


His wife, Umm Khaled, told Al-Quds.com that the intelligence rejected the court’s decision to release him on bail, and decided to grant him administrative detention as part of its continuous targeting of him, despite his suffering from several chronic diseases, thus joining his captive sister, Mona Qa’dan, who has been detained since April of last year. And sentenced to imprisonment for 18 months.


She mentioned that the occupation forces stormed her home in the town of Arraba, southwest of Jenin, at dawn on the 30th of last June, and after searching and arresting him, after about two weeks without an indictment being filed against him, the intelligence services transferred him to administrative detention for a period of four months, despite a previous court decision to release him on bail.


Qadan faces administrative detention again in the Israeli occupation prisons. He is a former prisoner who has been arrested 18 times since 1989, 14 of which were administrative detentions.


The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that what the detainee Qa’dan is exposed to is a continuous process of revenge against him, as he spent 12 years in the occupation prisons, most of which were under administrative detention, and he is one of the detainees targeted by the occupation through this crime, by arresting him under the pretext of having a “secret file.” .


During these years, he carried out several strikes, including individual and group strikes, the latest of which was in 2019, when he carried out a strike that lasted for 89 days, and he was released in February 2020.


And his wife adds: "He went on several hunger strikes in the occupation prisons, and went on strike for 96 days in 2013, during which he forced the occupation authorities to release him, in addition to a number of strikes in solidarity with the striking prisoners individually, the most important of which was with Sheikh Khader Adnan, and the freed prisoner Hana Shalabi." In the year 2012, a strike called for the support of the prisoner, Nahar Al-Saadi, to get out of isolation, in addition to dozens of strikes with the prisoner movement during his long detention period.


She continues, "My husband suffers from deteriorating health conditions, and he was scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy and catheterization before his last arrest. He also suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes."


Qadan, who comes from a struggling family, and most of his brothers have been arrested many times, is married and the father of six children, including one who suffers from muscular dystrophy, and one of his daughters is waiting for her wedding soon, and his wife said: "For years, our family has not been reunited, from time to time. There must be a detainee and a target from our family who pays the price for the injustice and targeting of the occupation.. The majority of Tariq’s arrests are administrative and he has not been charged, so how long will this injustice continue?


She called on all institutions to take action to stop this crime and to release her falsely, arbitrarily and unjustly detained husband. As I described. She added, "My daughter wishes to be married in the presence of her father."


Behind bars, the sister Mona has been languishing since her last arrest, on the fourth of December 2021, from home, and she was transferred to the Al-Jalama investigation, in which she was held for a month, after which she was transferred to the Damon prisons, and she went to the military courts several times until a verdict was issued against her, while she suffers She suffers from several chronic diseases, including pressure, diabetes, and rheumatism in the feet.

What We Need.. Part Two

The second part

Written by: Nabil Amr

The anxiety that spreads and tyrannizes the soul is the one that cannot be erased by words, nor can it be mitigated by statements and declarations. It requires every author of a pen and opinion to provide a convincing answer to a pile of questions raised at the level of the whole society, about the entire Palestinian situation. It is a state, as everyone knows, that is not confined to a place or governed by an authority or organization, because the destinies of this people made it distributed nearly equally between those on the homeland and those in exile, near and far. These "halves" unite in a deep and inseparable identity that is Palestinian
The rule of fateful fulcrum - and this is by the grace of fate - is strongly present on the land of the homeland, and if we read it objectively and strip the reality of this rule and the effectiveness of its impact on every Palestinian wherever he is, we find that it needs many things to be accomplished in order for the Palestinians to continue Their difficult pursuit towards their one popular dream of freedom and independence
Time no longer requires a leader who leads a people with his symbolism, centrality, and what is described as his charisma. That was permissible to positively and negatively in a past time.. in which names circulated in history that did their work in Palestinian life since the emergence of the issue... Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, the owner of the religious turban and social status, Professor Ahmed Al-Shugairi, the jurist, diplomat, and eloquent preacher, then Yasser Arafat, whom dictionaries and libraries are not enough to describe what he enjoyed throughout his life at the head of the Palestinian situation, which was described as a revolution, then Mahmoud Abbas is the head of the situation that is described as power
Who is the person following these? What can we call it or name its condition? It is better for us as Palestinians, and it is even more logical, to exclude this question and replace it with another question that is more realistic and logical.
After the series of names that achieved a strong presence at the time without achieving the desired solution to the most complex issue in history, what do we need or what does the current situation that the Palestinian situation has reached, and it is not hidden from the most optimistic how difficult and even catastrophic it is. ‏
Do we need a person to save the situation by achieving solutions to the pile of major problems that have escalated in Palestinian life and withdrew frightening effects on the issue, its status, and the chances of resolving it to the satisfaction of its people, and is this person, as I know and all Palestinians know, no longer? Existing, but not yet born, and in our time called Hadith, it will not be born, most likely or with certainty.
As much as the story seems very complicated and the reality is very intractable, and it seems that the solution that we hope has not only gone away, but has ended, and in order not to fall into the danger of despair and despair, let’s say until further notice, we need to know what we should do. And we don't have to wait
First, we must accept a logical and fair fact, which is that we no longer need a leader, because what is more correct, more credible, and more realistic is that we need a political system that produces qualified leadership institutions, which in turn produce a president subject to constitutional restrictions that prevent him from monopolizing himself. By decision at any of the levels, and this requires that the political system be produced from the only reactor that gives true legitimacy, which is the people, and therefore one means that humanity has not invented a substitute for, which is elections, provided that it is not as it is now. We have selectivity that determines its conduct or not according to the calculations of the agendas, so it takes place easily and easily in a specific sector and is withheld from another sector.
The real, legitimate and effective system is to be produced by the ballot box, as it is the only popular means that gives legitimacy to the smallest charitable association in the smallest village to the parliamentary and presidential, and in the event of going to different options, there is a referendum that if passed decision or forbidding it, the people are responsible for their blessings or for not
This axiom that I am talking about seems impossible if there are influential people who oppose it and prevent it under various pretexts. But if there is a will, and it was found a lot in the life of this people, then it is the easiest possible and the most ready to be achieved. Didn’t we reach a year ago to a close from the ballot boxes, then we refrained from it a few days ago???
Let the Palestinians and the kitchens of the internal and external agendas stop talking about a Palestinian leadership based on individuals, and let the talk and effort turn towards the formula of a respectable system that provides the Palestinians with a situation befitting their qualifications, the strength of their presence, the fairness of their rights and the abundance of their creativity wherever they travel or settle, and this is even though It was an urgent Palestinian need and interest. It is a need, interest, and a guarantee for the stability of a region and life, as much as the Palestinian cause is an active reactor of events. Ask Israel, America, and the world about what happened in Ramadan and May of this year, which was known as the year of Ukraine, and what happened. around.

Iran criticizes Britain's "role" in the protests after the arrest of a network linked to London

Tehran (AFP) - Iran criticized Britain's "non-constructive" role in the protests taking place in the Islamic Republic, a day after the Revolutionary Guards announced the arrest of a London-linked network that included dual nationals.


Since September 16, Iran has been witnessing protests following the death of the young woman, Mahsa Amini, three days after she was arrested by the morality police for not adhering to the strict rules of dress in the Islamic Republic.


Hundreds were killed during these protests, including dozens of members of the security forces. The judiciary also charged more than 2,000 people in connection with the protests, which the authorities consider a large part of as "riots".


And the Revolutionary Guards in Kerman province (south) announced the targeting of "a terrorist network operating for Britain and involved in provoking the recent riots," according to the official news agency "IRNA" reported on Sunday.


It indicated, quoting a statement by the Guard, that the network, which was known as "Zagres", was "directly run by elements from Britain and established a team of mercenaries hostile to the Islamic Revolution (...) who were involved in provoking riots and unrest."


The statement added that "its seven main members were arrested," including "people with dual nationality who were about to flee the country, but they fell into the hands of the security forces of the Revolutionary Guards in Kerman Province."


In response to a question about the arrests, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said, "Some countries, especially the country you mentioned, played a non-constructive role in connection with the current developments in Iran."


He added during his weekly press conference that the role of these countries "was provocative in inciting extremism and riots."


Iranian officials accuse the "enemies" of the Islamic Republic, led by the United States, of being involved in the "riots" with the aim of "destabilising". And the Iranian judiciary announced in November that 40 foreigners, some of them dual nationals, had been arrested on the sidelines of the protests, which entered their fourth month.


Kanaani explained that "during the recent riots, a number of European citizens were arrested, and they have well-known and clear files that were handed over to their countries."


He stressed that "the role of citizens of a number of countries, especially Western European countries, is quite clear in the recent riots."


Since before the start of the protests in mid-September, a number of foreign citizens, including dual nationals, have been arrested in Iran.


Western governments accuse Tehran of using these "hostages" in order to extract political concessions or the release of Iranian citizens detained abroad.

World Cup 2022: The president of the Moroccan Federation renews the opening of the national team's door to Ziyash







الرباط, (أ ف ب) -جدّد رئيس الاتحاد المغربي لكرة القدم فوزي لقجع فتح الباب أمام عودة لاعب الوسط الهجومي لنادي تشلسي الإنكليزي حكيم زيّاش إلى صفوف المنتخب للمشاركة في مونديال قطر 2022، موضحاً أنه سيعبّر عن هذه "القناعة" لمدرب أسود الأطلس الصربي وحيد خليلودجيتش.


وقال لقجع خلال اجتماع للمكتب التنفيذي للاتحاد إن "أبواب الفريق الوطني مفتوحة لكل اللاعبين المغاربة، مهما كان الاختلاف مع أي لاعب (...) لا يمكنني ولا أي شخص آخر أن يحرم لاعباً مغربياً من اللعب للفريق الوطني، سواء كان زيّاش أو (ظهير أياكس أمستردام الهولندي نصير) مزراوي أو أي لاعب آخر".
وأضاف "هذه المسألة غير قابلة للنقاش لا مع وحيد ولا مع غيره"، مؤكداً أنه سيعبّر له عن هذه "القناعة الشخصية بكل صراحة ووضوح"، عندما يعود من عطلته نهاية نيسان/أبريل.
غير أن لقجع شدد في الوقت نفسه على أن خليلودجيتش "في هذه اللحظة هو مدرب الفريق الوطني"، مستدركاً أن "العلاقة مع وحيد طبيعية (...) لكن المستقبل لا يعلمه إلا الله".


وشهدت علاقة خليلودجيتش بزياش (29 عاماً) توتراً أدى إلى استبعاده لأسباب انضباطية عن لائحة المنتخب في غالبية مباريات الدور الثاني المؤهل إلى مونديال قطر 2022، وكذلك نهائيات كأس أمم إفريقيا الأخيرة في الكاميرون، والتي ودّعها "أسود الأطلس" من ربع النهائي على يد مصر.
ورغم نجاح خليلودجيتش في قيادة المنتخب المغربي للتأهل إلى المونديال، فإنه يواجه انتقادات في المغرب حيال أسلوب اللعب وأداء المنتخب واستبعاد زيّاش ومزراوي عن المنتخب.


وسبق للقجع أن أعلن منتصف آذار/مارس توجيه دعوة أولية لزيّاش للعودة إلى المنتخب لخوض المباراتين الحاسمتين، اللتين تجاوز فيهما "أسود الأطلس" منتخب جمهورية الكونغو الديموقراطية، لكن زيّاش رفض تلبية تلك الدعوة.
ويخوض المنتخب المغربي نهائيات المونديال ضمن المجموعة السادسة بصحبة كرواتيا وصيفة بطل 2018 وبلجيكا الثالثة وكندا التي تخوض مشاركتها الأولى منذ 1986. وهي المشاركة السادسة للمنتخب المغربي في العرس الكروي أبرزها في 1986 عندما أصبحت أول منتخب إفريقي يبلغ الدور الثاني.

Iraqi forces kill six terrorists, including a leader

BAGHDAD (Xinhua) - Iraqi forces killed six terrorists of the so-called Islamic State ( ISIS ), including a leader in the organization, with air strikes carried out near the Hamrin Mountains in northern Iraq.


The Counter-Terrorism Service stated in a statement today (Saturday) that the agency, in conjunction with the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency in the Ministry of Interior and the Iraqi Air Force, directed strikes at places where ISIS members are hiding near the Hamrin mountain range, indicating that the strikes were carried out after intelligence investigations and careful monitoring.


The statement indicated that the strikes resulted in the killing of six members of the organization, including what is known as "Abu Maryam al-Qahtani," the general administrator of the state of Salah al-Din, who was supervising assassinations and kidnappings of citizens and security forces by setting up fake checkpoints near the areas surrounding the Hamrin Mountains.


The Security Media Cell of the Joint Operations Command reported earlier today that the Iraqi Air Force planes launched air strikes based on intelligence information about the presence of important leaders of the terrorist organization (ISIS) in the Hamrin mountain range.


On December 9, 2017, Iraq announced the expulsion of ISIS and the imposition of full control over its lands, but sleeper cells affiliated with the organization are still active in some areas of the country, despite the security operations carried out by the Iraqi forces.

Washington is deeply concerned about the possibility of an explosion of violence in the occupied West Bank

Washington - "Jerusalem" dot com - Saeed Erekat - The official spokesman for the US State Department, Ned Price, said today, Wednesday, that "President Biden's administration is deeply concerned about the rise in tension and violence in the occupied West Bank , and that it wants the Palestinian Authority and Israel to Strengthening security coordination between them to prevent further escalation.


Price said, in response to a question by the "Al-Quds" dot-com correspondent, regarding the Biden administration's position on the rise of attacks directed against the Palestinians by the Israeli occupation authorities, especially since Yair Lapid assumed the premiership at the end of last June, when we saw him direct strikes against Gaza, and multiply the incursions. Tonight in the West Bank and more, Yale Price: “We are always concerned when we see tensions escalating, including – and especially in a place like the West Bank, where violence could have major ramifications for the broader region.”


The spokesman added: "We deplore the increased violence in the West Bank, and continue to urge Israeli and Palestinian officials to work cooperatively to reduce tensions. Of course, Israel has every right to defend itself."


And when the correspondent of "Al-Quds" dot-com intervened, he drew the attention of the speaker that the occupation authorities are the ones attacking the Palestinians in the occupied territories on a daily basis, and that these soldiers are professional killers (by virtue of their training) and they are there not to throw roses or biscuits at the Palestinians, but rather to In order to hurt them,” Price responded by saying, “We are engaging with both — we are urging both Israelis and Palestinians to do whatever they can to lower tensions and de-escalate tensions.”


The Biden administration is deeply concerned that the deterioration of the security situation in the West Bank could lead to a serious crisis, including the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.


In turn, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf said in a press briefing on Wednesday, "The security conditions in the West Bank are of great concern to us. They concern Israel and the Palestinian Authority as well. We want to ensure that security cooperation is as strong and continuous as possible."


Lev, who was on a visit to the occupied West Bank and Israel last month, added, "There are other things that must be achieved, such as increasing economic aid to the Palestinians, to maintain security cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and that the economic situation can help improve security conditions."


The occupation authorities claim that there is more evidence of the involvement of members of the Palestinian security forces attacking their soldiers, as Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said in a statement on Wednesday, "The fact that one of the gunmen (who launched the attack on an Israeli patrol) was a member of the Palestinian Authority's intelligence It is considered an escalation of matters to another level, and therefore we will not hesitate to work in any place where the Palestinian Authority does not maintain order, and that Israel will forcefully target anyone who tries to harm it.
