London - (AFP) - British police announced Tuesday that they had arrested a 20-year-old man after he threw an egg at King Charles III during his visit to Luton, north of London.

Bedfordshire police told AFP that the young man had been "arrested for questioning" for attempting to cause "bodily harm".

Charles III was visiting Luton to meet city officials and charities and visit a new Sikh temple.

In early November, a twenty-three-year-old man was arrested in York, in the north of England, after he threw eggs at the new king, while the latter was walking and shaking hands with those in the city center, accompanied by his wife, Camilla.

"This country was built with the blood of slaves," the young man chanted, before the police stopped him, at a time when calls are mounting to review the country's colonial past. The suspect was later released on bail.

(AFP) - The Swiss weekly Sonntagsteinzeitung reported on Sunday that a large part of the $300-500 million that Egypt's central ruler of Lebanon was accused of embezzling was deposited in 12 Swiss banks.

This comes in the wake of new lawsuits filed by Lebanese Judge Raja Hamoush on Thursday against Riad Salameh, who is being targeted by several judicial investigations in the country, on the background of the financial collapse.

A Lebanese judicial source told AFP on Thursday that Riad Salameh, his brother Raja, and his assistant, Marianne Howayek, are being prosecuted for the crimes of "embezzlement of public funds" and "money laundering."

This is the first allegation in Lebanon that affects Salama 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.

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 is still 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.

According to the Swiss newspaper, $250 million was deposited in Raja Salameh's personal account at the HSBC branch in Geneva.

Other sums were deposited in UBS, Credit Suisse, Julius Baer, IFG and Pictet, according to the newspaper.

The same source explained that the transfers were made through an offshore company registered in the Virgin Islands under the name "Fore Associates" established in 2001.

Subsequently, "large sums" were transferred to purchase real estate in several European countries.

The Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office initiated criminal proceedings on suspicion of money laundering in October 2020 and the proceedings are still ongoing.

The weekly newspaper indicated that millions of dollars in funds had been frozen, but the Federal Prosecutor's Office did not give a specific number.

Likewise, the Financial Markets Regulatory Authority (FINMA) has been conducting preliminary investigations "several months ago" with 12 Swiss banks. A spokesperson confirmed to Sonntagstzeitung that legal proceedings had been initiated against two financial institutions in the "Lebanese context". The names of the banks were not announced.

And in the year 2021, Lebanon opened an investigation into the assets of Riad Salameh, after requesting assistance from the Attorney General in Switzerland in the framework of investigations that include a movement of funds of more than $ 300 million carried out by the Governor of the Banque du Liban and his brother.

And Salama (72 years), who has been in office since 1993, is accused by many Lebanese and part of the political class of corruption, and of being one of the main officials responsible for the unprecedented financial and economic crisis that Lebanon is witnessing.

Nablus - "Jerusalem" dot com - Madar for the Press and Media / Report by Wafaa Abu Turabi - With the continuation of the strike of the employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Palestinian camps, the people of Balata camp in Nablus live in difficult and tragic conditions that cast a shadow on various aspects of their lives. In conjunction with the occupation’s attacks and repeated incursions into the camp, and the resulting loss of lives and destruction of citizens’ homes and properties.

All health and educational facilities and UNRWA relief aid distribution centers in the refugee camps in the West Bank have been disrupted since the beginning of the strike on January 23, which is still continuing until now, which has increased the suffering of the residents of the Palestinian camps and doubled the burden of responsibilities placed on the shoulders of People's Committees for Services.

A member of the Executive Office of the Department of Refugee Affairs in the West Bank and a member of the People’s Committee for Balata Camp Services, Ahmed Dhouqan, said in an exclusive interview with Al-Quds.com: “The people of the camp and the People’s Committee are basically facing heavy suffering and burdens before the start of the strike, as a result of the daily Israeli incursions and what they cause.” Destruction of homes and people's property, and the consequences of all of this fall on the shoulders of the Services Committee, which in turn bears its full responsibilities in this regard, such as repairing some damages and setting the budgets that it needs, and these responsibilities increased after the start of an open-ended strike by UNRWA workers in the West Bank, which impeded work In various camp institutions and public services.

Thouqan explains: "We cannot determine our position on this strike, as the striking employees are from our people and are demanding their rights, and their salaries are eroding and insufficient as a result of the cuts that are taking place. We also want UNRWA to remain present as a witness to the Palestinian Nakba and the right of return." Which is the reason for its establishment, despite its practices and shortcomings against Arab employees and even the refugee population.”

The citizens express their dissatisfaction with these difficult conditions that their camp in particular and the Palestinian camps are going through in general, and many of them wish to volunteer in order to improve a better reality for their camp.

Balata camp is considered one of the largest camps in the West Bank in terms of population, with more than twenty-four thousand people living on a limited area of land of less than one square kilometer. It also contains one health center and four schools, two of which are for males and the other for females. All of them include about three thousand five hundred students.

Regarding life in the camp during the strike, Thouqan says that they could not leave the waste piled up inside the camp, so they took voluntary initiatives with the participation of the camp residents to clean its lanes during the strike period and urged them to take this waste and put it in the nearby containers. The Nablus municipality also helped in transporting it to private landfills. Pointing out that the committee cannot hire cleaners, as it takes on the role of UNRWA, which is trying to evade its duties towards the Palestinian camps.

He adds that the health center inside the camp operates before the strike for a few times, around eight in the morning until two in the evening, and there are no centers other than it, and that going to a private doctor is expensive for those who do not have government health insurance, and they demanded before starting the strike and closing the center that medicine for diseases be distributed Chronic diseases such as pressure, diabetes and asthma so that it is sufficient for a month.

Thouqan hopes that the duration of this strike will not be prolonged, as it happened in 2015, when it lasted for sixty days, and this also affects the education sector, and that the process of compensating students in schools is not easy.

He expresses his concern about the decline in interest in the role of "UNRWA", which was formed to provide relief to the Palestinian refugees, and its role ends with their return, and that every three years it is granted a renewal, and recently it was renewed, but there is no support for it, indicating that there are many cuts that have occurred in this agency, whether With education, health and home repair inside the camps, they have become dependent on the emergency budget, and they do not have a fixed budget.

And he continues, "There is great pressure to end UNRWA's role and stop its support from some countries with the aim of pressuring it to stop its work. This is something we always fight, through the Department of Refugee Affairs and the popular committees, and we always submit the necessary reports as much as possible."

According to the Union of Arab Employees of UNRWA, the strike came as a result of the agency's downsizing policy, its prejudice to the job security of its Arab workers and its imposition of sanctions on union members, in addition to its refusal to increase their salaries. The number of workers and employees of the agency and its institutions in the West Bank is three thousand and seven hundred. A worker and an employee, working in the education, health and relief services sectors, all of whom committed themselves to the strike.

For its part, "UNRWA" indicated that it is suffering from "financial hardship" and called on its employees to "dialogue and not to close its international institutions."

Thouqan stresses that the camps are in need of government support in light of the difficult security and living conditions in which they live, as is the case in the Jenin, Balata, Dheisheh and Shuafat camps, explaining that the camp residents suffer from problems of unemployment, poverty, overcrowding and the dilapidated houses that UNRWA does not help to restore.

UNRWA was established by a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly in 1949, to provide direct relief and employment for Palestinian refugees in its five regions, in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, until a just solution to their cause is reached.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - Crimes against humanity are exacerbated by an intransigent Israeli occupier who does not take into account the laws and international covenants against Palestinian prisoners , but rather insists on using a policy of deliberate medical negligence and violating the most basic health rights of sick prisoners.

In the same context, the case of the prisoner Muhammad Abu Sabra from the city of Nablus, who previously underwent surgery to place platinum, tends to be stable and this requires dealing with his condition seriously, so that he does not enter into any new relapse, and that he may undergo another operation to remove the platinum in the future, and put Detailed pelvic injury site.

The occupation army had shot the young man, Abu Sabra, near the "Hawara" military checkpoint, south of Nablus.

Berlin - (AFP) - Germany on Tuesday called on the major powers of the Group of Seven industrialized countries for more cooperation to reduce global energy prices , especially gas, which have hit record highs since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told the German Industries Forum, "We need a negotiating process through which prices can be reduced again to a reasonable level."

Schultz pointed out that the prices of fossil raw materials, gas, oil and electricity "have become too high for any economic production," stressing that "it cannot remain the same."

Germany, the first economy in Europe, suffers in particular from the rise in gas prices associated with the interruption of Russian supplies, especially since the strong German industrial sector was a major consumer of it.

Schulz admitted that lowering prices "will not succeed through unilateral measures taken by Germany or even the entire European Union," at a time when his country is being criticized by its European partners for its unilateral action to combat inflation.

"I have set myself the goal of making mutual responsibility a topic in all international discussions, for example during the discussions taking place today within the framework of the Group of Seven, and turning it into an issue within the framework of the European Union as well," he said.

The German chancellor considered it necessary to "organize cooperation between the (energy) importing countries, and this applies to Europe as well as to Japan and Korea."

Among the G7, Germany, France, Britain, Japan and Italy bear the brunt due to high prices, while the United States and Canada are major energy producers.

The United States has ramped up deliveries to Europe to help make up for the shortage of Russian gas, but Germany last week accused it of charging too high prices.

"Some countries, and even from friends, get ridiculous prices in some cases," German Economy Minister Robert Habeck told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung newspaper, calling for more "solidarity."

A virtual meeting of the Group of Seven is scheduled for Tuesday noon. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will take part in the meeting, at a time when Russia is launching a bombing campaign in Ukraine.

On the fifty-eighth anniversary of the launch of the Fatah movement in early 1965, I did not find anything that expresses the reality of the situation, more informative than the last will of the leader in the movement, the late Salah Khalaf (1933-1991), which he wrote after the martyrdom of his companion, Khalil Al-Wazir, and a while before his own martyrdom. briefly, and his family found it on the roof of his office in his home in Tunis with his signature. And it was not his only will, as there is a previous will dated 4/28/1968, both of which are preserved in the Palestine Memory Archive at the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, the first phase of which will be launched during the activities of the Palestine Forum organized by the Arab Center and the Institute for Palestine Studies in Doha in The end of this January.
Salah Khalaf (Abu Iyad) is one of the founding leaders of the Fatah movement, and the first responsible for its security services in all its different names, from the Revolutionary Monitoring to the Unified Security, and the founder of what was known as the Black September Organization, which was active in the field of foreign operations after the events of September 1970 in Jordan, and carried out the Munich operation It became famous during the 1972 Olympic Games, and its operations aimed at restoring respect for the revolution, proving its existence, and signaling its strength in the face of its enemies, after the resistance left Jordan. The media defined him as the second man in the Fatah movement, and Yasser Arafat was keen to confirm this saying in the third general conference of the Fatah movement in 1981, when he stood addressing Abu Iyad with the Qur’anic verse, “The second of the two as they are in the cave” (Al-Tawbah: 40). "Fatah" was not the starting point in Khalaf's relationship with Arafat. It dates back to the beginning of the fifties, when they were together during the university studies period, and he succeeded Abu Iyad Arafat in the presidency of the Palestinian Students Association in Cairo. Khalaf to Kuwait in the early sixties, and his participation in the first central committee of the Fatah movement, and it continued until the moment of his assassination in Tunisia, even if it witnessed years of tide interspersed with some periods of ebb.

On April 28, 1968, Abu Iyad recorded his first will after his return from the Battle of Karama (which constituted a major turning point in the course of the revolution) to visit his family residing in Kuwait, in the presence of his friend and colleague in the movement, Ali Nasser Yassin (Abu al-Hassan), who was assassinated by Sabri al-Banna’s group. (Abu Nidal) in 1978. In this will, Salah Khalaf sends letters to those he loves. The first is to his children, "the little cubs whom I entrust every day, and I feel that they are a piece of me," but he leaves them for what is older than him and older than them, he leaves them for the sake of his country and for the sake of his country, and for "the sake of the people whom I loved more than my children," as he wanted them to cherish With it, he serves his country with a “clean conscience, a relaxed soul,” and he leaves them to “men who carried this trust and carried it with them,” “so that we may all be martyrs,” stressing that the path is long, and “we do not know when victory will be, but history will record that this category Of the sons of Palestine, she refused defeat, and she died rejecting defeat, and she will live if a few of them lived while he was proud of himself, proud of his brothers, proud of his message.
Abu Iyad addresses his wife "with a heart full of love and full of trust," recalling that many wives lose their husbands in transient accidents, but she knows that the message he carries with his brothers is "one of the most honorable and noblest that known to peoples who carry the message of liberating homelands." He addresses his parents, apologizing to them for not fulfilling his father's desire to provide him with a comfortable life in his last days, asking: "Does my father or my mother accept that I live as a coward far from the battlefield?" stressing that he left them "for what is better, which is the dear and beloved homeland."
22 years separated the registration of the first will and the writing of the second. During these years, a lot of water occurred in the Palestinian arena, and the Fatah movement witnessed major shifts in its military and political path, and it came close to signing a peace agreement with the Zionist entity, and it lost a large number of its cadres and leaders, the last of whom was Khalil Al-Wazir (16/4/1988). ), who was martyred nine months before the martyrdom of Salah Khalaf, so the second commandment reflected the conditions of the movement when it was about to slip into the Oslo negotiations.

In his will, which they titled “The Living Martyrs,” which was written in his handwriting, Abu Iyad describes the state of Fatah and its leaders during that period, and he quotes the full text of its importance here: “Some of them were martyred while they were satisfied with their martyrdom, and may even have sought it, and some of them resisted.” But recklessly, because he feels that there is no benefit, and there are those who resist fiercely, but to no avail, because slow death is stronger than his resistance. If this is the situation of the Central Committee with Yasser Arafat, then why don't we all be the father of jihad, so we die reassured that we have been martyred? A benefit from our lives, because a large body began to die long ago, and we deal with this body, which is our movement, with drugs that may delay the end, but the end is inevitably coming. Jihad, from being living martyrs representing false testimony and practicing it daily?
Abu Iyad predicted his martyrdom, and he was decisive in that, and his certainty increased after the martyrdom of Abu Jihad. The issue here goes beyond the prophecies for a man of Salah Khalaf’s stature, to become an assessment of a position, because by virtue of his responsibility for the Palestinian security services, and his Arab and international relations, some news of secret communications leaked to him that were withheld from everyone, so he was certain that an Arab and international cover had been lifted, and that A green light was issued to eliminate those who oppose the upcoming movement, or who stand in its way, and it began with the assassination of Khalil Al-Wazir. The will describes the weakness of the Fatah movement as it is about to sign the Oslo agreement, as it sees a dying body being treated with drugs (political concessions) that may delay its end, but do not prevent it. Perhaps this is exactly what happened when the Oslo agreement was signed, which exhausted her body, aborted her revolution, and turned against her idea. It is a description that is correct as it is today, when maneuvers and drugs no longer work, and where there are those who bear false testimony and practice it daily, but there are, at the same time, those who seek resistance and martyrdom. Her first idea is still burning. About "The New Arab"

Saad explained that nearly 200 workers from Nablus governorate were prevented today from going to their workplaces due to the continuous closure as part of a policy pursued by the occupation to cut off the livelihood of the Palestinian worker in difficult economic conditions, exacerbated by the racist and barbaric measures committed by the occupation soldiers at the separation checkpoints. between the Palestinian cities and the lands occupied in 1948, which in turn stopped the movement of the economic wheel completely.
