Serious repercussions on the humanitarian situation and the agreement between the two parties

Israel refuses to allow heavy equipment and trucks to remove rubble in first phase

And prevents the entry of Turkish aid into the Gaza Strip...

Informed sources revealed to Al-Quds that the Israeli occupation army received clear instructions from the political level not to bring any aid provided by Turkey into the Gaza Strip. The sources also confirmed that the instructions include not bringing in bulldozers, trucks and cranes needed to remove the rubble in the first phase, which increases the suffering of the displaced.

deteriorating humanitarian situation

These policies are exacerbating the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where displaced people are suffering from severe shortages of basic necessities such as food, water and health care. The situation in Gaza requires an urgent response from the international community to alleviate the suffering.

According to the sources, the occupation authorities are violating the agreement signed through Egyptian and Qatari mediators, which stipulates the entry of heavy equipment needed to remove rubble, such as bulldozers, trucks and cranes, from the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip. This refusal is hampering efforts to remove rubble resulting from the widespread destruction caused by Israeli military attacks, which destroyed more than 80% of citizens’ homes in the Gaza Strip.

The impact of rejection on the displaced

This unjustified Israeli refusal affects the lives of thousands of Palestinian families who are still displaced, as they cannot return to their homes due to the rubble and destruction. The lack of equipment to remove the rubble hinders the reconstruction process and increases the suffering of the residents who lost their homes.

Rejection of Turkish aid

Regarding the humanitarian aid provided by the Turkish government, sources confirmed that the Israeli government also refuses to allow the entry of Turkish aid intended for the displaced residents of the Gaza Strip. This aid includes essential food and relief supplies, which further exacerbates the humanitarian situation in the Strip.

Humanitarian implications

These policies contribute to the exacerbation of the humanitarian crises, as the displaced suffer from severe shortages of basic materials. The cold weather conditions and heavy rains further aggravate the situation. The deteriorating humanitarian situation requires an immediate response from the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of humanitarian equipment and aid.

The impact of rejection on negotiations with Hamas

This refusal complicates the agreements with Hamas, which accuses Israel of deliberately delaying essential humanitarian aid. The displaced are suffering from severe shortages of shelter, food and health care, which increases the psychological and social pressures on the population.

This negligence also affects the lives of thousands of Gazans and contributes to the spread of diseases and the increase in poverty and unemployment rates. The occupation’s denial of the agreement complicates the negotiations that are still in their early stages, as the refusal to allow the entry of aid and equipment negatively affects the negotiations between the Israeli occupation and Hamas.

Calls for international pressure

In this context, Hamas, through its spokesman, Hazem Qassem, confirmed that Israel is deliberately delaying and obstructing the entry of the most important requirements of tents and fuel. Hamas also called on mediators via its official Telegram page to address the defect in implementing the humanitarian protocol in the Gaza agreement.

UN Statements

UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram said the aid being brought in was "a drop in the ocean of needs" in Gaza. She stressed the need to lift restrictions on aid trucks entering the Strip, noting that the humanitarian situation remains dangerous for children despite the ceasefire.

Displaced persons movement

The United Nations revealed that more than 545,000 Palestinians crossed from southern Gaza to northern Gaza during the past week, since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric also reported that more than 36,000 people moved from northern Gaza to the south during the same period, and they need everything, especially heavy equipment to remove rubble, open roads and recover bodies from under the rubble.

Future steps

In the same context, military circles and Hebrew media outlets warned against the entry of heavy Egyptian bulldozers on their way to the Rafah crossing in order to help remove the rubble and debris left by the war on Gaza. Channel 10 of Israeli television explained that within the framework of the Israeli surrender deal, Hamas is expected to receive five heavy equipment for the first time that will be brought into Gaza via Egypt.

Military circles and Hebrew media outlets warned against the entry of heavy Egyptian bulldozers on their way to enter the Rafah crossing in order to help remove the rubble and debris left behind by the war on Gaza.

Channel 10 of Israeli television said in a report titled: "Shovels from the model that destroyed the fence on October 7 will rebuild the Gaza Strip" that within the framework of the Israeli surrender deal, Hamas is expected to receive five heavy pieces for the first time that will be brought into Gaza via Egypt.

Egypt explained that these bulldozers will be operated by an Egyptian team that will enter the sector and provide the sector with the necessary equipment to remove the rubble.

An official Palestinian source in the Gaza Strip said that, according to the agreement signed with the mediators, five heavy bulldozers are expected to enter the Gaza Strip for the first time, to help lift the huge buildings and concrete piled up in many areas, especially in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to a report broadcast by Elior Levy on Kan 11, the aim of this move is to remove rubble and repair roads as part of the efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli official said: "The heavy trucks were supposed to enter in the first stage and be actually transferred to Gaza, but they will be operated by an Egyptian team that will enter and exit the Strip daily." But the Israeli government changed its position.

The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip requires an urgent response from the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of aid from all countries, including Turkey, and heavy equipment needed to remove the rubble as soon as possible. The continuation of these Israeli policies will exacerbate the humanitarian crises and increase the suffering of the population in the devastated Strip.

Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces arrested 12 young men from the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas, including a nurse, coinciding with the continuation of the aggression on the town and the Far’a camp, for the fifth consecutive day.

The director of the Prisoners Club in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, said that the occupation forces arrested the citizens Yassin Abdul Fattah Madraj Ibrahim, Muhammad Omar Mustafa Bani Odeh, Mustafa Ali Mahmoud Abu Rayhan, Ayham Jawdat Khader Yousef Bani Odeh, Muhammad Imad Khaled Hassan Bani Odeh, Saher Abdul Rahim Abu Hassan, and Aws Ibrahim Sidqi Basharat from inside an ambulance, as well as Hamdan Jamil Bani Odeh, Izz al-Din Jamil Bani Odeh, Muhammad Abdul Rahim Muhammad Latif, Yazan Abdul Rahim Muhammad Latif, and Mustafa Muhammad Bani Odeh, after raiding their homes in the town.

He added that the occupation had caused significant destruction and devastation to the contents of those homes.

The Israeli aggression on the town of Tamoun and the Far'a camp, south of Tubas, continues, which included the destruction of infrastructure, citizens' property and roads, closing them with earth mounds, and destroying water lines for domestic and agricultural use.

US President Donald Trump said that "Israel will hand over the Gaza Strip to the United States after the fighting ends," noting that "the Palestinians will be resettled in safer and more beautiful areas within the region," as part of the plan he is promoting to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and for his country to control the Strip.

“Palestinians, and people like Chuck Schumer, will have new, modern homes in safer, more beautiful communities in the region, where they will have a chance to be happy, safe, and free,” Trump said, referring to Senate Majority Leader Schumer, who has criticized Israeli policies in Gaza.

Trump continued, in a post on his social media platform (Truth Social), that the United States, "in cooperation with global development teams," will gradually begin building a project that will be "one of the greatest and most magnificent projects of its kind on the face of the Earth," claiming that the plan will provide "stability to the region" without the need to deploy American troops.

He concluded by saying: "There will be no need for American soldiers! Stability will prevail in the region!!!" He said that the construction and reconstruction process, which he had confirmed that the United States would not contribute to, would be carried out "slowly and carefully", and he considered that this would allow the Gazans "the opportunity to actually live happily, safely and freely" outside the Gaza Strip.

Trump's proposals regarding the future of the Gaza Strip have sparked widespread criticism, as his proposals violate the basic principles of international law, whether in relation to controlling territory by force, the forced displacement of Palestinians, or depriving them of the right of return.

Trump had announced that “the United States will take control of the Gaza Strip and will assume long-term ownership of it,” which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law, which prohibits the seizure of territory by force, as an act of aggression according to the United Nations Charter.

International law affirms that Gaza is part of the occupied Palestinian territories, and Israel has no legal right to transfer it to anyone, including the United States. Any attempt to declare American sovereignty over the Strip could be classified as an illegal annexation, which could expose those responsible to legal prosecution before the International Criminal Court.

Trump spoke of “resettling Palestinians to safer communities in the region,” which would constitute a crime against humanity under the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the forcible transfer of populations under occupation.

International laws confirm that “forced displacement is not limited to direct force, but includes the threat of violence, coercion, and exploitation of a coercive environment,” which means that any plan that forces Gaza residents to leave under any circumstances may be classified as an international crime.

Trump said he “does not envision the return of Gazans after they leave,” speaking of their “permanent” resettlement, which would violate international legal principles that guarantee the right of displaced persons to return to their lands; later, officials in his administration issued statements contradicting him, speaking of a “temporary transfer” of Gazans.

International law prohibits any action that permanently depopulates occupied territory, as this constitutes a form of ethnic cleansing. Any attempt to prevent Palestinians from returning could also nullify the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state, which is contrary to UN resolutions on the right to self-determination.

Israeli writer Uri Masaf said in the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz that there will be no "deportation" from Gaza, and the Americans will not build a "Riviera" there, there is no plan, no preparatory work, no point, and no one will receive two million Palestinians on his land. We are not in the days of World War II, Trump is babbling meaninglessly, this is his style. He has suggested in the past building hotels in North Korea instead of nuclear missiles.

The writer added that since his election, he has talked about invading Panama, seizing Greenland, and annexing Canada. We are old enough to remember how he once said during a meeting with Netanyahu about annexing the West Bank to "Israel."

"It is an insult to intelligence to take Trump's random statements seriously. He is completely mentally unstable, and we live in an era of accelerating decline. It is true that Netanyahu is also a psychopath without a conscience, but he is not stupid. Even he froze in discomfort when Trump began raving about evacuating Gaza, while Netanyahu was heaping embarrassing praise on him," he continued. "It is sad to see very large parts of the Israeli media cooperating with this farce, and engaging in discussions at the level of a seventh-grade social studies lesson, about deportation - for or against. Even before the moral dimension, this basically reflects superficiality and intellectual laziness. It is very easy to manipulate them. And here Trump and Netanyahu are already experts: a continuous media bombardment with empty talk about things that will never happen - tomorrow, Trump will not even remember what he was talking about."

An Israeli writer published an article in which he explained the reasons behind US President Donald Trump’s launch of his plan regarding the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli writer Uriel Daskal said in an article on the Hebrew website “Walla” that everyone is talking today about Donald Trump’s proposal to seize Gaza and transfer 1.8 million Palestinians, but the truth is that this is exactly what Trump wants: to divert attention from what is happening in Washington.

He explains that everything is going according to the plan of Steve Bannon, Trump’s former advisor, who described his media strategy as “shooting at the fastest rate,” as he said: “Since the media is made up of stupid people, they can only focus on one thing, so we have to drown them with a torrent of exciting news, and they will lose control of what is really important.. Bang, bang, bang, and they will not recover.”

The Israeli writer continues that this is why Trump throws out unrealistic proposals such as buying Greenland, occupying Panama, and moving Palestinians there, because he knows that the media will be preoccupied with these headlines, instead of focusing on the radical changes taking place within the US federal government.

He explains that while the media is preoccupied with Trump’s vision for Gaza, in Washington, a systematic and rapid dismantling of the US government and intelligence agencies is taking place.

He says that over the past two weeks, Elon Musk and his team have taken control of US financial data systems, canceled sensitive security protocols, fired senior officials, and shut down an entire government agency with a budget equal to only 0.25% of Musk’s personal wealth.

He explains that in return, six government agencies have resorted to the courts, which have issued arrest warrants against Musk and Trump, but that has not stopped the ambitious billionaire’s plan, who continues to dismantle federal institutions, driven by his new libertarian ideology and his quest to increase his power and wealth in an unprecedented way.

Israeli writer Uriel Daskal warns that one of the most dangerous developments is the attack on US intelligence agencies. The Trump administration has sent emails to all FBI and CIA employees, offering them compensation in exchange for resignation, in a move aimed at weakening the security services.

He continues that the matter does not stop there, as Trump is now demanding that the identities of federal agents who investigated the storming of Congress on January 6, 2021 be revealed, putting them and their families at grave risk, according to court orders trying to stop this.

He points out that even within the White House itself, there are officials who do not know what Musk will do next. The New York Times quoted internal sources as saying that Musk enjoys a level of independence that no one can control, which makes him the de facto president, while Trump provides him with political cover.

Daskal stresses that what is happening today in Washington is not just a political conflict, but a radical restructuring of the US government, which may affect not only the future of the United States, but also global security, including Israel. He concludes that if Trump and Musk pursue their extreme vision, the world will face a new era of political chaos, where large corporations control countries and governments are dismantled in favor of the wealthiest few.

In an article in the Washington Post, American writer David Ignatius described President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza as resembling the actions of a "real estate developer in a Chinese store."

Ignatius considered the plan to represent direct incitement in a region still recovering from the effects of successive wars.

Angry responses

Ignatius confirmed that the response to Trump's plan was noisy, as "small protests" spread in Jordan in rejection of the proposal. He pointed out that Saudi Arabia and the Emirates were quick to issue official statements categorically rejecting the plan, in an indication of the extent of the tension that the proposal has caused in Arab capitals.

Ignatius quoted an official in a group that monitors extremist activity on the Internet, saying that an organization called "Islamic Cyber Resistance" circulated calls to launch cyber attacks on American banks in protest of Trump's announcement; reflecting the growing anger and opening the door to global security risks.

Urgent Diplomatic Moves

According to the article, the presidents of Egypt and Jordan have been “summoned” to meet Trump in Washington next week. Ignatius noted that regional leaders are “fearful” of the proposal’s implications, especially in light of the growing threats.

He pointed out that their concerns are not limited to foreign relations, but extend to the risk of internal unrest that could erupt as a result of attempts to expel Palestinians to their lands.

“The unrest could reach Israel”

An intelligence official who has worked in the Middle East for decades warned that Trump’s plan could cause major unrest in Egypt and Jordan, with the possibility of this tension spreading to Israel itself.

He stressed that such a scenario could lead to a new violent uprising in the West Bank and on Israel’s borders, asking, “Why would we deport Hamas to countries that are vital to Israel’s security?”

Egyptian warning

Ignatius revealed a message from a source close to Egyptian intelligence stating that if Palestinians are forcibly displaced to Sinai, Egypt will take military action. He pointed out that Egypt had already begun, since last May, to strengthen its military presence in Sinai.

Ignatius quoted an informed Arab source as saying that Trump had raised the idea of transferring Palestinians from Gaza during a meeting with a Gulf leader last September. In contrast, a source close to Jordanian officials revealed - according to the article - that Jordan had tried to obtain information about the proposal, but the US State Department and the National Security Council were unable to provide any clarifications because they were not informed of the details.

Ignatius pointed out that CIA officials abroad had not received any prior warning about this plan, which reflects a state of confusion within the US administration itself, as he described it.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that the Israeli occupation arrested and detained 174 citizens from the Jenin and Tubas governorates since the beginning of the recent aggression on the two governorates.

The Prisoners Club explained in a statement issued today, Thursday, that the number of detainees and those who were detained in Jenin and its camp over the course of 17 days of aggression is no less than 120, while in Tubas Governorate, the number of arrests reached 54, most of them in the town of Tamoun.

He pointed out that dozens of citizens in the two governorates were subjected to field investigation, noting that the majority of detainees were subjected to severe beatings and systematic abuse.

The occupation continues its aggression on the governorates of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas for more than two weeks, leaving 29 martyrs, dozens of injuries, arrests, the demolition of homes, forced displacement, and widespread destruction of property and infrastructure.

Since the beginning of the aggression, the occupation has imposed arbitrary measures at its military checkpoints near most of the entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank, and closed most of the gates of villages and towns, in an attempt to explode the situation, in preparation for creating a state of violent chaos, to facilitate the annexation of the West Bank, which was evident in the brutal attacks committed by terrorist settler gangs against citizens, their towns, their properties, their homes, their lands, and their holy sites.

The Israeli General Security Service (Shabak) claimed on Thursday that it had thwarted a bombing attack targeting a passenger bus in occupied Jerusalem, saying the operation was planned by a cell of Fatah and Hamas activists from the Ramallah area.

The Shin Bet claimed that the cell members were about to smuggle an explosive device into Israel, and said that members of the cell carried out shooting attacks, noting that the arrests took place during the months of November and December.

The Shin Bet said in a statement that its forces arrested "a cell of five people from the Ramallah area," and announced that the detainees in the alleged cell are: Ahmed Jasser Ali, Mandar Sheikh Qassem, Bashir Awad, Omar Subuh, and Ali Shuwaiki.

He added that the investigation with the detainees revealed that they planned to detonate a remote-controlled explosive device "inside Israel", against the backdrop of the war on Gaza. He claimed that some members of the cell carried out shooting operations targeting the occupation forces during the past year, without resulting in injuries.

The Shin Bet claimed that the investigation with Ahmed Jasser Ali revealed that he, along with members of the cell, manufactured an explosive device with the aim of carrying out a bombing operation on a bus in Jerusalem.

He claimed that the detainees had handed over an explosive device and weapons, including a Carlo rifle, which were intended for testing the remote detonation mechanism.

The statement indicated that indictments were filed against the detainees on charges related to "membership and activity in an illegal organization," "shooting at people," "preparing to carry out premeditated murders," "possession of weapons," and "attempting to manufacture weapons."

1. The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported today, Thursday, that 31 dead and 4 injuries were received by the hospitals in the Strip during the past 24 hours.
2. 
   

It explained in a statement that 28 cases were recovered, one victim succumbed to his injuries, and two new dead.

It pointed out that the death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 47,583 dead and 111,633 injuries since October 7, 2023.

The Israeli army admitted, on Thursday, the conviction of a reserve soldier for committing brutal acts of abuse against Palestinian prisoners while serving as a guard in the "Sde Teiman" military command. Despite this, the Israeli judiciary issued a lenient sentence against the soldier, sentencing him to no more than 7 months in prison.

The Israeli army said in a statement that the soldier admitted to physically assaulting Palestinian prisoners held in the detention facility set up by the occupation army at the "Sde Teiman" base on several occasions, despite their hands being tied and blindfolded.

According to the Israeli army statement, the soldier beat the detainees with punches and used his weapon to assault them, in actions some of which were documented on his mobile phone, while a number of soldiers witnessed the incident, some of whom tried to stop him from doing so.

Despite the soldier's confession to his crimes, the military court issued a lenient sentence of only 7 months in prison, with his rank reduced to ordinary soldier and a suspended prison sentence, as part of a plea bargain between the military prosecution and the convicted soldier.

While the court described the soldier's actions as "serious and in violation of military rules," it justified its acceptance of the plea bargain by pointing to "his personal circumstances and his cooperation during the investigation," in a ruling that reflects the continued leniency with soldiers' crimes against Palestinian prisoners.

The statement issued by the Israeli army said that the military court decided that the defendant's actions were "serious and grave," and said that Israeli army soldiers are obligated to use the force entrusted to them in accordance with what it described as "army values" and military orders, at all times, especially during war.

He added, "Based on the balance between the seriousness of the acts and the personal circumstances of the accused, and his responsibility which he acknowledged during the mediation process, in addition to the long period of detention that he will have to serve after his release from detention, the court decided to approve the plea bargain."

Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces seized a vehicle and seized surveillance cameras in Jenin and Salfit.

In Jenin, the occupation forces detained a vehicle, interrogated its driver, and searched the vehicle. They also searched citizens’ vehicles around the Jalbuni roundabout in the city.

In Salfit, the occupation forces stormed the northern area of the city, raided citizens' homes and seized surveillance camera recordings, under the pretext of a breach in the iron fence separating the "Ariel" settlement.

The General Secretariat of the National Popular Conference for Jerusalem said that what US President Donald Trump did to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to the White House the day before yesterday, Tuesday, is a complete adoption of the proposals, positions and security policy of Zionism in Israel, which considers the Torah as its reference, so that it does not recognize the Palestinians’ right to exist on the land of their historical homeland.

The General Secretariat added in an analysis of Trump's speech in which he called for the displacement of our people in the Gaza Strip to Egypt, Jordan or any other country to live in comfortable conditions and a beautiful environment that does not exist in Gaza, that it would have been more appropriate for the president of the largest country in the world, if he really wanted to relieve the Gazan citizens, to return them to their homes from which they were displaced in 1948 and not to displace them again, as the effects of that catastrophe are still tanned on their skins.

The General Secretariat, in its analysis issued by its media office, pointed out that the positions issued by Trump are consistent with the positions and policies of national Zionism and religious Zionism, which call for the unity of the Greater Land of Israel, especially in the West Bank and parts of Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, stressing that it is not possible to reach a political solution that leads to a peace agreement with these groups that deny the existence of the Palestinian people and absolutely reject the two-state or one-state solution.

The General Secretariat explained that Trump gave Netanyahu a strong push forward and provided him with a safety net in his government, with the far-right Jewish parties and even with Israeli society itself, when he addressed him as the best leader for Israel, in veiled praise for the war crimes committed by his army in Gaza against a defenceless people, using the Hamas movement and its armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, as a pretext to launch a merciless and relentless war against children, women, the elderly, buildings, infrastructure and superstructure in the stricken Strip.

The General Secretariat of the National Popular Conference for Jerusalem stated that Trump, in his arrogance, bias, and even his adoption of Netanyahu’s policies and positions, surpassed the government of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and his Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, who said in Israel when he visited it after October 7, 2023, that he came as a Zionist and not as his country’s foreign minister, noting that Netanyahu achieved what he wanted and more from this visit, in which Trump expressed absolute intimacy towards a man wanted by international justice for the war crimes he committed against the Palestinian people.

The General Secretariat noted that what Trump raised regarding the issue of permanently displacing the Gazans, contrary to what he had said in the past days that he wanted temporary displacement until reconstruction, is tantamount to declaring a new war on the Palestinian people and achieving what Netanyahu’s army could not achieve by military force through American arrogance and malice, as he said, “A word of truth intended to be false,” as it is unreasonable for a world leader of this level to raise the issue of displacing an entire people from their homeland in order to please Netanyahu, who has caused calamities for his people, the Palestinian people, and the entire region just to remain in power.

The General Secretariat considered that Netanyahu is working to achieve the Zionist dream of establishing Greater Israel in partnership with Trump and based on the biblical myth that the West Bank is "Judea and Samaria" which God gave to the Jews to establish their alleged national homeland from the Euphrates to the Nile. While Gaza comes in second place to exploit its natural gas resources found on its beautiful shores, which Trump seeks to explore during the reconstruction process to benefit from it for the benefit of the American treasury, which is completely consistent with his economic vision to bring peace to the region according to his own measurements.

The General Secretariat of the Conference considered that the Trump-Netanyahu project to divide the region, impose immigration on our people, and blackmail the Arab governments, which he described as rich, in reference to the Gulf States, will fail miserably, just as the Deal of the Century that he launched during his first term in office failed. He has not learned from the lessons written by our people in the Gaza Strip, who returned from the south to the north on foot, more than 15 kilometers, and slept on the ruins of their homes, among the rubble and remnants of war, not caring about all the repercussions of the great massacre that modern history has witnessed in the smallest and most densely populated geographical area in the world.

The General Secretariat stressed that Trump's marginalization of the Palestinian Authority and his failure to mention it in his speech to the press alongside Netanyahu is part of the war waged by Israel against the national project and the PLO, the most prominent manifestation of which is the military attack on the northern and central West Bank, while Jerusalem is witnessing a silent Judaization process amidst the turmoil of the ongoing war, stressing that this project, which was baptized with pure Palestinian blood, cannot be bypassed or cancelled by anyone because it represents all Palestinians and the aspirations of the people yearning for freedom and independence, like all the peoples of the earth.

The General Secretariat called for confronting the Trump-Netanyahu project to liquidate the Palestinian cause with national unity and agreement on the goals to be achieved and the tools that must be relied upon for that, stressing that monopolizing the making of fateful decisions concerning the Palestinian people undermines the cause and does not raise its status or lead our people to safety or make them respected by nations in all corners of the earth.

Today, Thursday, settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police.

Eyewitnesses reported that dozens of settlers stormed the eastern area of Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups, and some of them performed Talmudic rituals such as the “epic prostration.”

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares rejected on Thursday a proposal by Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz to have Spain receive Palestinians if they are displaced from Gaza.

"The land of the people of Gaza is Gaza...and Gaza must be part of the future Palestinian state," Albares said in an interview with a Spanish station.

This comes a day after the Spanish foreign minister rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal to resettle Gaza residents elsewhere and take control of the Strip, to create a "Riviera of the Middle East".

"I want to be very clear on this matter, Gaza is the land of the Palestinians, the people of Gaza, and they must remain there," Jose Manuel Albares told reporters yesterday.

He added: "Gaza is part of the future Palestinian state that Spain supports."

Katz had stated that Spain, Ireland and Norway, which last year recognized the Palestinian state, "are legally obligated to allow any resident of Gaza to enter their territories."

Last night, settlers established a new colonial outpost east of the Tayasir checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley.

Human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh reported that the settlers had set up a pergola to the east of the Tayasir checkpoint, and brought a number of cattle to the area, amid fears that it would be the nucleus of a new colonial outpost in the Jordan Valley.

There are now more than 8 colonial outposts in the northern Jordan Valley, most of which are pastoral in nature, through which the colonists seize thousands of dunams of pastoral land.

Hundreds of tents were flooded and others were blown away, sheltering thousands of displaced people, due to heavy rains and strong winds in Rafah and Mawasi Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The displaced people were forced to spend the night in the open under the influence of the bitter cold and winds that tore apart what remained of their dilapidated tents, making them unfit to protect their residents in such weather.

The heavy rains that fell on the governorates of the Gaza Strip exacerbated the suffering of tens of thousands of citizens whose homes were destroyed by the Israeli war of genocide, in light of the impact of a low-pressure system hitting the Palestinian territories.

The displaced people are facing harsh conditions amidst severe cold and strong winds, as thousands live in tents made of nylon and thin cloth, which lack the minimum protection from rain and storms.

Those who returned to the northern Gaza Strip are also facing difficulties in setting up and securing their tents, in light of unfavorable weather conditions, in addition to the severe shortage of food and the lack of heating materials.

Citizens whose homes were destroyed due to the crimes and massacres of the occupation are living in the streets, playgrounds, public squares and schools, without any means to protect them from the cold and storms.

The lack of fuel exacerbates the crisis, as families find themselves unable to secure any means of heating in light of the low temperatures at night.

Reactions have been coming in Gaza and around the world, rejecting the statements of US President Donald Trump calling for the displacement of the people of Gaza and the imposition of US control over the Strip, while attention is turning to the completion of the first phase of the exchange deal and the resumption of the ceasefire negotiations hosted by Doha.

The Palestinians unanimously rejected any form of displacement, and that the displacement and settlement plans in other countries were nothing but attempts to liquidate the issue and end their legitimate right to return to their original cities, villages and towns occupied during the Nakba in 1948.

The White House sought to clarify Trump's plan for US control of the Gaza Strip and the deportation of its residents, after the proposal sparked a flood of condemnatory reactions from the Palestinians, Arabs and the international community.

The White House confirmed that Washington "will not fund the reconstruction of Gaza."

Following Trump's statements and as the ceasefire in Gaza entered its 19th day on Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced that he had instructed the army to prepare a plan for the residents of the Strip to leave voluntarily, expressing his welcome for Trump's plan, who said that the United States would control Gaza after the Palestinians were resettled elsewhere.

The Israeli negotiating team is heading to Doha on Saturday to discuss the deal with Hamas, but Israeli media reported that "the Israeli negotiating delegation will only discuss completing the first phase of the deal."

She added that the likelihood in Israel is that the discussion about the second phase will not take place until after the cabinet discusses Trump's plan.

This comes at a time when Israel continues to procrastinate and delay everything related to the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip under the ceasefire agreement, as data from government agencies in the Strip showed that the Israeli authorities did not abide by the number of trucks required to enter the Strip under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

The agreement stipulates the entry of 600 aid trucks daily, excluding commercial trucks, but their number during the 15 days, from January 19 to February 2, reached only 6,089 trucks.

The Israeli authorities are obstructing the entry of heavy equipment into the Gaza Strip, as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.

The Palestinian Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip said that its crews are unable to retrieve 10,000 martyrs still under the rubble, due to a lack of equipment.

A Hamas source said that the Israeli occupation is obstructing the implementation of some of the provisions stipulated in the ceasefire agreement, noting that the occupation army is still preventing the entry of heavy equipment in accordance with what was stipulated in the agreement.

Today, Thursday, international reactions condemned US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding control of the Gaza Strip and the displacement of Palestinians outside their homeland.

Colombian President Criticizes Trump's Plan to Displace Gazans

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has strongly criticized US President Donald Trump's plan to seize the Gaza Strip and displace Palestinians to neighboring countries.

“They will start the worst wars because they consider themselves God’s people, but God’s people are not white Americans or Israelis, God’s people are humanity,” Pietro said in a post on the X platform.

The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi, affirmed the GCC’s firm position in supporting the Palestinian cause and the sovereignty of the Palestinian people over all Palestinian territories occupied since June 1967, establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, ensuring the return of refugees, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and international legitimacy resolutions, and rejecting any unilateral measures.

Al-Badawi stressed the GCC's position that the two-state solution is a guarantee for finding a permanent solution for peace and stability, which is what the "International Coalition for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution" seeks to achieve in cooperation and coordination with the Palestinian brothers and international and regional partners; with the aim of achieving a just and lasting peace for the Palestinian cause.

He pointed out that the joint ministerial contact group between the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which was formed by the extraordinary joint Arab and Islamic summit, chaired by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is working to end the Israeli aggression on Gaza and the Israeli attacks in the West Bank, support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land, and support the efforts of the State of Palestine to gain recognition from more countries in the world, and support it to obtain full membership in the United Nations.

EU: Gaza is an integral part of the future Palestinian state

The Gaza Strip must be an integral part of a future Palestinian state, and the bloc is committed to a two-state solution, a European Union foreign policy spokesman said.

"The European Union remains strongly committed to the two-state solution and believes it is the only path to long-term peace for both Israelis and Palestinians," he added.

The European spokesman continued: "Gaza is an integral part of the future Palestinian state."

Amnesty International: Any plan to deport Palestinians is a war crime

Amnesty International said that US President Donald Trump's proposal to transfer Palestinians from Gaza is "outrageous" and constitutes a "flagrant violation of international law."

"Any plan to forcibly transfer Palestinians outside the occupied territories against their will is a war crime," said Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard.

Guterres: Two-state solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed that the Palestinian people's exercise of their inalienable rights is based on their right to live on their land, and the two-state solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace.

During his speech at the annual meeting of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, held at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Guterres stressed the importance of adhering to international law, avoiding any escalation that might further complicate the crisis, and halting any measures that might exacerbate the situation, including forced displacement that constitutes ethnic cleansing.

He pointed out that efforts are continuing around the clock to deliver humanitarian aid to needy Palestinians, calling on the international community and donors to provide full funding for humanitarian operations and support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which provides basic relief services to Palestinian refugees.

At dawn on Thursday, settlers cut off electrical wires supplying a number of citizens’ homes and a school in the Arab al-Malihat community, northwest of the city of Jericho.

Local sources reported that a number of settlers stormed the community and cut off electrical wires from 5 families in the village of Arab al-Malihat, and from the Arab al-Kaabneh Elementary School in the community.

It is noteworthy that the settlers are constantly attacking the Arab Al-Malihat community in the Al-Ma'rajat area, with the aim of oppressing them and forcing them to forcibly move from their residential areas.

Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces injured two citizens and arrested others in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.

In occupied Jerusalem, the occupation forces arrested the young man Amin Muhammad Al-Abbasi after raiding his house in the Ain Al-Lawza neighborhood in the town of Silwan.

In Nablus, the occupation forces stormed Balata camp, raided several homes and arrested the young man Mahmoud Shehadeh from the Hashashin neighborhood.

The occupation forces also stormed the city of Nablus, towards the Krom Ashour area, and blew up part of the house of the family of prisoner Mahmoud Al-Nasser, who has been detained for two weeks, before withdrawing from the area.

In the Jordan Valley , three citizens were injured at dawn on Thursday as a result of the occupation forces assaulting them at the Al-Hamra military checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley.

Medical sources reported that Red Crescent crews transferred three injured people as a result of the occupation soldiers severely beating them at the Hamra checkpoint.

Two soldiers were killed on Thursday when a crane fell in the northern Gaza Strip.

Hebrew sources said that the two soldiers were killed when the crane fell due to the storm and bad weather conditions.

It is natural that the statements of US President Donald Trump after his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he reiterated his demand for the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and for the United States to control the Strip, topped other news, which is dwarfed by the Palestinian, Arab and international tremors caused by such dangerous statements, and the stormy reactions that criticized, denounced, condemned and denounced what Trump is seeking to achieve, to please Netanyahu and Israel, considering it a declaration of war against our Palestinian people.

The Palestinian position has been and continues to be clear throughout history on the issue of displacement, expulsion and ethnic cleansing, with a categorical rejection of such suspicious projects, foremost among which is the project that Trump insists on implementing, while emphasizing that the Palestinian people will continue to adhere to their homeland, land and holy sites, until the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of their refugees, and not to submit to any international authority or power.

Other Arab, Islamic and international positions, especially those of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, will contribute to repelling these bad and shameful statements, which are considered opportunistic and immoral, and will strengthen the Palestinian position with its leadership and people, and will forever reject any attempt to displace the Palestinian people from their land, whether in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, based on the contradiction of this with the Arab project and the fixed historical position on the Palestinian issue, and based on international law that prohibits the deportation or displacement of a people from their occupied land.

Trump's use of the hypothesis of destruction in the Gaza Strip, and his starting from humanitarian motives that life is very difficult in the destroyed Strip, cannot fool anyone, and they are considered a project ready for similar implementation by the ruling Israeli right-wing coalition in the West Bank. Just as Israel carried out the destruction in Gaza, and the task of displacement remained with Trump and the American administration, under the pretext that the Strip is an unfit and unsafe place to live, this will be an encouraging factor for Israel to complete the cycle of destroying the camps, cities and villages of the West Bank, with American cover, through which it gains American legitimacy in the hope that Trump will complete the cycle of ethnic cleansing of our people in the West Bank. There is no doubt that the statements of extremist Israeli ministers, led by Smotrich, who called for the village of Al-Funduq, Jenin and Nablus to become like Jabalia, are clear and tangible evidence of Israel's intentions to continue the destruction operations and to seek Trump's help for displacement.

The Palestinian people will remain steadfast, rooted in their land and homeland, and clinging to every grain of their soil. Trump will inevitably disappear, and will ultimately not remain in the White House. The ones who decide the fate of Palestine are its people, who are the only ones who have the right to do so. Gaza is not for sale, barter or trade, and its people, its people and its inhabitants have decided not to leave their places and temporary headquarters except to their cities and villages from which they were displaced.

What is required is a Palestinian national stance and consensus in the face of this step, provided that the Arab countries maintain their positions and reject all steps and conspiracies targeting the Palestinian cause, so that we can say loudly to Netanyahu: No to destruction, and to Trump: No to displacement, and only our people, on whose rock of steadfastness and perseverance all these projects will be shattered, are the ones who will decide the fate.

President Donald Trump’s “shock and awe” assault on many key institutions in Washington has been somewhat successful. His cabinet picks, mass expulsions of immigrants, threats to federal employees, and executive orders have been a show of force designed to confuse and demoralize his opponents. Although Trump’s focus has been primarily on the domestic front, he has made some blunt foreign policy statements, such as threatening to reclaim the Panama Canal and force Denmark to sell Greenland. But as the reactions from Denmark, Canada, and Panama have shown, these “tests” and challenges have not had the same impact as his domestic decisions.

In another foreign policy gambit, Trump threw a bombshell into the middle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, suggesting that before reconstruction could begin, it would be necessary to “cleanse Gaza.” He reportedly tried to pressure Jordan and Egypt to accept the bulk of the Palestinians from Gaza, with Albania and Indonesia considered as possible alternatives for resettlement. But none of these countries agreed to participate in this bizarre scheme. Beyond the simple refusal, the Palestinians, preoccupied with their emotional return to northern Gaza and resisting the increasingly aggressive occupation in the West Bank, largely ignored Trump’s bait.

Let us be clear: if the ceasefire holds and the reconstruction phase moves on, there are serious issues that must be addressed, including two million homeless Palestinians, hundreds of thousands of destroyed homes and buildings, which it is believed will take two or three years to clear or repurpose the rubble, and decades to build enough housing.

If you didn’t know Trump or his Israeli allies, you might think he was appealing to Gaza’s neighbors to show mercy on its displaced people and shelter them until it can be rebuilt. But Trump has shown no sign of being moved by the suffering of the Palestinians, and the idea of building a resort on Gaza’s shores might be more appealing to him.

Netanyahu’s coalition clearly wants to expel the Palestinians from Gaza. Thus, Trump’s “proposal” to move the Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan sounds like his blessing for a new Nakba. In the Nakba of 1948, 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes, and Israel then demolished more than 420 Palestinian villages to ensure that they could not return.

This second Nakba would reverse the process, with Israel first demolishing entire neighborhoods in Gaza, then “transferring” two million Palestinians from their homeland. It is best not to assume that Netanyahu, his coalition, and their backers in Washington will not do the worst possible thing. Trump may try to bring “shock and awe” to the Middle East, or he may float the idea of transfer as part of reconstruction. But it is more likely to be Netanyahu’s “trial balloon,” testing regional acceptance of a plan for mass displacement to “solve” the Palestinian problem. Neither the Palestinians nor their supporters reacted with outrage to Trump’s “proposal.”

No clear plan has been proposed for clearing the rubble and rebuilding with two million Palestinians still in place. Accepting any resettlement and reconstruction plan requires at least two conditions: First, Israel must withdraw completely from Gaza, relinquishing control over entry and exit from the Strip. This precondition would allow Palestinians to feel confident that if they leave Gaza, they will be guaranteed a right of return. Second, some Palestinians returning to the north have difficulty identifying the locations of their former homes. To avoid confusion or disputes, if municipal records no longer exist, an effort should be made to map Gaza so that Palestinians can locate their homes and businesses.

Without solid guarantees of return and a plan to facilitate return to specific locations, resettlement and reconstruction efforts will only deepen the problems. For more than a century, the Palestinians have been mere pawns in the game of Western powers and the Zionist movement. Despite being dispersed, dispossessed of their lands, and scattered among countries, their national identity and connection to their land have not weakened but have grown stronger, making them a continuing thorn in the side of their oppressors. The United States must recognize this reality and, instead of adding to the suffering of the Palestinians, develop a humanitarian plan to compel Israel to end the occupation and implement the Palestinian rights that have long been denied to them.

Both complement each other. Netanyahu's crimes in destroying the Gaza Strip, killing tens of thousands, and the goal is clear: 1- Making the Gaza Strip unfit for life by destroying the infrastructure, and he succeeded in achieving his goal with distinction. 2- Pushing the Palestinians towards forced or voluntary departure and immigration in search of better opportunities for life, and he failed in that and failed very clearly, and the return marches are a popular Palestinian slap in the face to all his colonial expansionist programs.

President Trump, with his humanitarian motives and his concern for the lives of the people of Gaza, who cannot live in the Gazan "hell" that his ally Netanyahu created, of course, with public American support, presented a very innocent proposal, not hasty, but rather seems well-thought-out and agreed upon, to deport the people of the Gaza Strip from the "hell" they are living in, which Netanyahu, his team and his apparatuses created for them. He prepared the ground for his ally Trump to present his humanitarian plan for the Palestinians to leave Palestine, because the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip requires, according to his estimates, 10 to 15 years, and it is a shame for the people of Gaza to remain in this inhumane situation for this long and difficult period, as they deserve better. As a brave president, he has an excessive sense of humanity that seeks to solve the problem of the people of Gaza outside their homeland, and thus he catches two birds with one strike: the first is to solve the problem of the poor people of Gaza outside their homeland, and the second is to solve the problem of the "small-sized" Israeli colony surrounded by Arab countries with large areas.

On the basis of President Trump’s excessive human sense, I can humbly serve him and offer him two suggestions:

First: Considering that the colony is the first pampered ally for him and for all his selective political team that he chose, and they are fond of loving the colony, its strength and its superiority, I suggest that he demand a halt to the immigration of foreign Jews to Palestine because these enjoy influential citizenship and respectable residence in their countries, and the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Germany and the countries of Northern Europe are glaring real examples of the pampering of these Jews in their countries, and therefore it is not permissible for them to leave their citizenship and their belongings and come to live in the homes of the Palestinians, as Netanyahu is doing, where he lives in the home of a Palestinian Jerusalemite family that was expelled and whose home was looted by him and the colony’s plans. Therefore, President Trump must provide binding advice to his Zionist allies who occupy Palestine to stop bringing foreigners to live in Palestine, and in this way the problems in our Arab region will be reduced, and the colony will not need to expand.

Second: The majority of the people of the Gaza Strip are refugees who yearn to return to the cities and villages from which they were expelled and displaced in Palestine, which was subjected to occupation in 1948, especially the Negev region and the cities of southern Palestine: Beersheba, Ashkelon, Majdal and other cities, especially since their population is small and modest, and the successive governments of the colony provide incentives to new foreign colonists to live in them. Therefore, the active and creative people of Gaza can return to their looted and stolen towns and their problem will be solved forever, and the binding UN General Assembly Resolution 194 will be implemented, regarding the return of the refugees, and they will live together with those of the two peoples who wish to be in one country on the basis of equality, parity and equality, far from displacement, because the people of Palestine are the most deserving of returning to their country and regaining their homes and properties in their homeland, which is their only homeland. They are more deserving of their homeland than the foreigners who come to Palestine as extremist colonists.

The most dangerous pen after Balfour's pen is Trump's multi-purpose pen. Sometimes he uses it to sign the granting of Jerusalem as the capital of the occupation, sometimes to file lawsuits against the settlers and acquit them of their crimes, sometimes he uses it to compare his office desk in terms of area, and his pen in attracting the world's emotions towards what he called the small area of the entity, and sometimes he threatens and warns countries to stop aid and financial grants, and every hour he comes out with a new decision that shakes the East and the West, and threatens the world with countless hellish plans.

Trump's danger to the world in all economic, political, social and international aspects, is the greatest danger threatening the planet. He is the madness of the frivolous man who, since assuming power, has not cared about his statements and plans that target the global and international system. In particular, a number of his statements targeted Palestine, its cause and its people, especially after his meeting with Netanyahu, where he openly announced his alleged plans aimed at displacing our people outside their land and homeland, and seizing the Gaza Strip not only for the benefit of the entity but also for the benefit of America. This is a form of nonsense that the senile old man of the White House is putting forward. The cause of our people cannot be written off with the stroke of a pen, no matter the status of the pen owner. Because the destiny of peoples is achieved on the ground, there is no possible migration or displacement to any place in The world, and just as larger conspiracies have fallen in the past, this conspiracy will inevitably fall, and these reckless threats are nothing but a blatant rogue form, and malicious intentions that will not be realized.

The danger of the old man of the White House to the entire world is no less than his danger to the cause of our people. He threatens and intimidates continents, neighbors, friends and enemies alike, from the perspective of a deal-maker who deals with the universe as if it were just a deal.

Trump's statements represent a great reward for the occupation government that committed genocidal war crimes in Gaza, and instead of bringing it to international justice and holding it accountable, the old man of the White House comes out to reward Netanyahu and his government, in an effort to ethnically cleanse and displace the Palestinian people, and this is the coming Trump once again, with a more racist policy and blind bias.

Netanyahu's visit to the White House reaped a series of statements, during which he obtained promises in favor of the entity. Everything Trump said was a complete approval of the projects of the extreme racist right. He has exceeded all international and UN norms and laws, and has exceeded the right of the people to self-determination. He thus supports ethnic cleansing and genocide, believing that major issues can be resolved with the stroke of a pen, like Trump's pen, which is pushing the world to become a jungle of monsters, where the strong eat the weak and expel them from their land and seize it.

Who will take Trump's pen from his hand? Before the world becomes more devastated.

The upcoming developments are extremely dangerous and cannot tolerate any bickering, a return to the series of incitement and counter-incitement, the achievement of narrow partisan and factional gains, or continued burying one's head in the sand. The American-Israeli project is based on expulsion and displacement, and there is no other project other than it. The Israeli right, along with the most extremists in this Israeli government, does not even recognize the existence of a Palestinian people. Through its parliament, the Knesset, it approved a decision to reject the establishment of a Palestinian state on part of the land of historic Palestine in three readings, and said that the process of canceling such a decision requires 80 votes out of 120, as well as the participation of settlers in the West Bank in voting on this decision. The Talmudic Torah Right, coupled with the American Evangelical Right, are in complete agreement on the project of expelling and displacing the Palestinian people. Trump is covering up his project with “humanitarian” aspects, but it is far from being humane. His country’s two thousand pound guided “MQ84” bombs, which detonate entire residential blocks and penetrate fortifications, and his modern aircraft of the “F-15”, “F-16”, “F-22” and “F-35” models, have burned the land and destroyed residential buildings and all aspects of life in the Strip.

Trump sees the Gaza Strip as an attractive piece of land for speculation and investment in order to achieve economic profits, and therefore this displacement project for the Palestinian people is not just a slip of the tongue, or passing talk in the air. This man, in his first presidency, moved his embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and considered it the capital of Israel, and brought what was known as the Abrahamic Peace, the series of official Arab normalization with Israel, and said: The Israeli settlements in the West Bank do not conflict with international law. Therefore, his new project to practice forced expulsion, displacement, and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank, is seen by the right-wing and extremist forces in Israel, in light of the increasing religious and secular extremism in Israel, as a new Balfour Declaration. Balfour, which spoke of what was known as a national homeland for the Jews in Palestine, was implemented by the organized global Zionist movement, as well as unprecedented Western colonial support, exploiting a miserable and collapsing official Arab situation. Therefore, they see in Trump’s project something similar to the Balfour Declaration, and there are possibilities to transform it into a political and security project, and Trump in His threats to Egypt and Jordan, to accept his project and plan, and his saying three times "They will do it... they will do it", he will exert maximum pressure on them, although Egypt and Jordan have categorically rejected this on the political side, but in the context of confronting this dangerous project and plan, neither soft diplomacy nor the language of condemnation and denunciation and speeches that tickle emotions and feelings can thwart this project, as Trump is using his relations and influence over the Arab Gulf states to translate his project into an actual translation on the ground, as he may prevent the Gulf states from carrying out any reconstruction process, and not allowing humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip, which lacks life, and Jordan is targeted more than Egypt, as an alternative homeland, and Trump is pressuring Jordan to cut off the American economic aid allocated to it.

The geographic and demographic engineering projects and plans in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank will not stop, and therefore there is a need for a Palestinian position before the Arab position, decisive and conclusive, in order to thwart these projects and plans, the projects of Judaization, expulsion, displacement and ethnic cleansing.

The American president has many great “feats” in his “love for goodness and justice,” and his “heart” is broken with sadness and pain over the fate of the Palestinian people. The popular saying about the hunter who grills the meat of the birds he has caught applies to him, and tears flow from his eyes because of the smoke emanating from the barbecue grill. Therefore, one should not look at the tears in his eyes, but at what his hands have done. Trump, the real estate broker, who believes that he is the genius who has magical solutions to all the world’s problems, and who appeared like a raging bull, imposes sanctions on this or that country, or customs duties on its goods, as happened with Mexico, Canada, and China. He wants to occupy the island of Greenland and control the Panama Canal, and name the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, and impose the most severe economic sanctions on Iran. Because of his “great love” for the Palestinian people, he wants to expel them and displace them from their land, in a process he calls a fifteen-year convalescence, and he later abandoned that by saying “permanent convalescence,” in order to build The Palestinian people have what they call the "Riviera of the East", as this Trump, who is steeped in racism and extremism, seems "humane", and I think that our Palestinian people, especially the people of the Gaza Strip, will never forget his "exploits", where his half-ton bombs were roasting the flesh of their children and women, blowing up their homes, wiping them out of existence, burning their hospitals and shelters, and depriving them of water, food and medicine. This is the height of "humanity", so how can this Palestinian people be "ungrateful" and refuse this forced "recovery trip"? It is a trip not towards their areas and land from which they were displaced, but rather a new forced displacement trip, despite their will, that Trump wants, in order to build for them "God's paradise" on their land. This Palestinian people, who have experienced American policies and positions that have never brought them good, or supported their injustice, are well aware that what America wants for them is what the leaders of Israel continue to wish for: for Gaza to sink into the sea, or for it to be bombed with nuclear bombs, as he expressed it. A "humanitarian" minister in Netanyahu's government, Amichai Eliyahu, said that Gaza should be bombed with nuclear bombs, and there are those from Trump's Republican Party who share his opinion. The Palestinian people in the Strip, despite all the destruction, bombing, starvation and "killing" of all manifestations of humanity, did not leave or abandon their land, and they returned by the hundreds of thousands to the rubble of their homes destroyed by Trump's planes and smart one-ton bombs, which he is now lifting the ban on supplying to Israel, so that they can once again spread killing and destruction in Palestine and the region.

The people of Gaza tell you with full mouths, “Gaza is not a piece of land for commercial speculation for the sake of investment and making profits. Gaza is the issue of a people searching for a homeland and political and national rights.”

This plan was confirmed by all Palestinian forces, including the Palestinian Authority, Arab and Islamic countries, and many countries of the world, including Western European countries, and members of the Democratic and Republican parties, who rejected this plan, which violates international law and international legitimacy in an unprecedented and brazen manner.

This plan tickled the feelings and emotions of the Israeli government, which is full of extremists who agree and advocate such a destructive plan that lacks the minimum moral and humanitarian standards, and which usurps the will of peoples to determine their fate and sovereignty over their land. It was welcomed by the political level in Israel, which called for planning to implement this plan. The head of the "Jewish Power" party, member of the Knesset Itamar Ben-Gvir, announced that "the chances of his return to the government have increased" after he revealed and called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to announce the adoption of the plan and begin implementing it practically without delay.

For his part, the head of the "State Camp" Benny Gantz commented on Trump's statements, considering them additional proof of the deep alliance between the United States and Israel.

Gantz added: "President Trump has shown, and this is not the first time, that he is a true friend of Israel, and that he will continue to stand by it on important issues to strengthen its security."

He continued: "In his speech, he presented a creative, innovative and striking idea, which must be examined alongside implementing the goals of the war, and giving priority to returning all the kidnapped." US President Trump spoke about his plans for the future of the Gaza Strip.

For its part, the official political establishment in Israel welcomed the US President’s statements the night before last during his meeting with Netanyahu. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said: “Then the nations will say: God has done great things with these people, God has done great things with us, and we rejoice. There is better, there is better. Thank you, President Trump.”

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana commented, saying: “Good morning Israel, it is the dawn of a new day.”

It is true that it is a crazy plan by a president who suffers from the terminal illness of Zionism, but we must fully realize that this man brought what was known as the “Deal of the Century” in his first term and moved his country’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognized it as the capital of Israel. He said that the settlements in the West Bank do not conflict with international law, and therefore thwarting this infernal plan requires a stand of pride, dignity, and genuine and true Arabism, far from statements of condemnation and denunciation, and placing the burden on the helpless international community.

During a joint press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, an NBC correspondent asked US President Donald Trump what authority the United States has over the Gaza Strip that allows it to displace its residents to neighboring countries. He answered her with the arrogance of a businessman, that the United States will remain responsible for Gaza in the long term, and this will lead to stability in this part of the Middle East. He continued by saying: "Many of those I spoke to liked the idea of the United States owning that piece of land (the Gaza Strip) and developing it to create thousands of jobs in it. He added: "This land is unattainable for anyone to look at today, with scenes of death, destruction, debris and collapsed buildings everywhere." Netanyahu expressed his support for this idea, describing it as an "original idea"!!

Netanyahu will not hesitate to gift the Gaza Strip to Trump after displacing its residents (if he is able to do so), and if the Trump administration’s pressure on Egypt and Jordan to receive the displaced Palestinians, to build resorts, hotels, casinos and for the white slave trade, bears fruit. But what will Netanyahu get in return? By agreeing to a ceasefire with Hamas and a prisoner exchange with it, Netanyahu replaced the slogan of “absolute victory” after his failure to achieve it with the slogan of “absolute barter.” This was clearly evident in his dismissal of the heads of Mossad and Shin Bet from leading the indirect negotiations with Hamas, and assigning them to the Minister of Strategic Affairs, Trump’s friend, Ron Dermer. This indicates Netanyahu’s vision for the next day in Gaza politically.

Netanyahu is trading Trump for Israel’s commitment to a ceasefire in Gaza, completing the second and third stages, annexing the West Bank or parts of it to Israel, displacing what Israel can displace from it, and ensuring that the United States does not support the establishment of a Palestinian state during the Trump administration’s negotiations with Saudi Arabia to normalize its relations with Israel, in addition to Israel receiving American military and political support to attack Iran to eliminate its weapons capabilities and nuclear program.

Netanyahu also feels the danger of his government disintegrating, in light of the position of his far-right ally Smotrich, who threatens to demolish the temple of the Israeli government and its people if the war on Gaza does not continue. He also feels the danger of the possibility of the end of his political future, in light of the significant decline in his popularity in opinion polls, despite his agreement to a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange deal. Therefore, Netanyahu sees Trump as a savior for him by implementing what he promised regarding Gaza and the West Bank, and in other files related to the Middle East that serve Israel's interests, which will compensate him for the image of the failure in the war on Gaza, by appearing as the one who achieved strategic gains for Israel, and this will serve him in remaining in power if the extremist minister Smotrich carries out his threat to withdraw from the government, as well as in increasing his popularity among Israeli voters, which has declined, as recent opinion polls in Israel have shown, despite his agreement to a ceasefire and the return of Israeli prisoners from Gaza.

Trump’s statements regarding declaring Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank or parts of it are contradictory. He had implicitly indicated in his statements before Netanyahu’s visit to the White House that he supported the annexation of the West Bank to Israel, saying that the area of Israel is very small compared to the areas of countries in the Middle East, comparing it to a pen he held in his hand, comparing it to the area of the desk he was sitting at. However, during the joint press conference with Netanyahu, he announced, in response to a question about whether he recognized Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, saying, “We will discuss this with representatives of Israel, and people like this idea, but we have not taken a position yet, and we will issue an announcement on this matter in the next four weeks.” He added, “I am not saying anything about two states, or one state, or no state.”

At the same press conference, in response to a question about whether it was possible to reach a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia without establishing a Palestinian state, Netanyahu said, "Saudi Arabia will help, it wants peace in the Middle East." He added, "I believe that peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not only possible, but it will happen." However, Saudi Arabia's response was not delayed regarding the uprooting of Palestinians from Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank to Israel, as the Saudi Foreign Ministry stated in a statement, "The Kingdom rejects the uprooting of Palestinians from their land, and it will not establish relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state, and this position is non-negotiable."

In response to Trump's statements about "cleansing" Gaza of Palestinians and imposing Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, the Egyptian and Jordanian responses rejected this, for reasons related to defending the right of Palestinians to live in their homeland in an independent state, and because these plans threaten the national security of both countries. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced in a statement that Egypt rejects any infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people, whether through settlement, annexation of land, or by evacuating that land of its owners, through displacement, whether temporarily or long-term, while Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi announced Jordan's rejection of any attempt to displace Palestinians, and that it will not accept any solution to the Palestinian issue at Jordan's expense.

The positions of the US administration on the Palestinian people, regarding the day after the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (even if they have not crystallized more clearly yet), these positions indicate that Israel and the United States believe that the Palestinian people are a people superfluous to humanity, and are trying to erase them, ignoring their successes in thwarting dozens of attempts to liquidate them since 1948, and their determination not to have the same fate as the Red Indians, for example. Their population today has reached 13 million people, half of them in the homeland, and the other half in exile, and they are still determined to return and establish their independent state, which confirms the impossibility of erasing their existence, and that the US and Israeli plans are nothing more than “ploughing the sea.”

Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the West Bank governorates of Tubas, Tulkarm, and Jenin.

**Tulkarm**

The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp, for the 11th consecutive day, amidst comprehensive destruction, mass displacement, and unprecedented military reinforcements.

After the early hours of dawn, the occupation forces fired randomly and intensively at citizens' homes in Tulkarm camp and Al-Sikka Street near the Iktaba suburb, without any injuries being reported.

WAFA news agency said that the occupation forces continue to push more additional military reinforcements, especially infantry, from the direction of the "Tsnaoz" military camp west of the city, passing through its streets leading to the camp.

She added that these forces are deployed heavily in front of the main northern entrance to the camp, and in the agricultural lands opposite it, and are conducting combing and searching operations there, as they seize several residential buildings surrounding and overlooking the camp, and have turned them into military barracks.

This deployment coincides with the widespread presence of occupation soldiers inside the camp's neighborhoods and alleys, with the deployment of large numbers of sniper teams inside the houses, who lie in wait for everything moving and shoot at it.

The camp is experiencing a tragic situation with a complete siege, including widespread raids on homes by the occupation forces in a barbaric manner, vandalizing and destroying them, and expelling those present in them and threatening them with weapons, which led to the displacement of thousands of residents from all its neighborhoods, leaving only hundreds who live on the outskirts of the camp, specifically the Qaqun neighborhood.

The escalating Israeli aggression on the city and its camp has caused unprecedented and comprehensive destruction in the camp, affecting the entire infrastructure of electricity, water, communications and internet networks, in addition to the total and partial destruction of dozens of homes, shops and institutions, and their exposure to burning and bombing, which has deepened the suffering of the camp and the remaining residents.

Videos and photos captured by citizens inside the camp showed the massive destruction of homes in Al-Ghanem neighborhood, with partially destroyed homes and others completely burned, alleys filled with rubble, dilapidated infrastructure, and an area completely empty of residents, as if the place had been hit by an earthquake.

Citizens who are still in their homes in Qaqun neighborhood, trapped amidst the destruction, have appealed for urgent humanitarian aid to be sent to them, including food, water, medicines for the elderly and those with chronic diseases, and baby milk, especially with the interruption of water, electricity, and basic services as a result of this escalating aggression.

Yesterday, the occupation army prevented the Palestinian Red Crescent Society crews, who were distributing aid to the residents inside the camp, from continuing the distribution process, under the pretext that the deadline it had set for them had expired, and forced them to leave.

In the city of Tulkarm, infantry forces were deployed heavily in the eastern neighborhood of the city, and they raided homes, specifically those located at the Abu Safiya junction adjacent to and close to the camp, while smashing and vandalizing their contents, checking the identities of their residents and subjecting them to interrogation, and converting a number of them into military barracks.

Last night, the occupation forces stationed around the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital fired heavy bullets at the live broadcast cameras of the local "Peace" TV, while they were covering the aggression on the camp, which caused the broadcast to be completely cut off.

A force of infantry soldiers stormed the Al-Adawiya Girls' School building, which is close to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, and deployed snipers at its windows, while continuing its siege of the hospital, and using the adjacent Al-Adawiya Commercial Building as a military barracks, amidst a heavy presence of infantry soldiers at its entrances, obstructing the work of ambulances and medical crews.

**Tubas**

Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces continue their storming and siege of the town of Tamoun and the Far'a camp, south of Tubas, for the fifth consecutive day.

The occupation forces continue to send military reinforcements to Al-Far'a camp and the town of Tamoun, while all entrances to the two areas remain closed and a siege is imposed on them.

Water lines are still cut off from the town of Tamoun and the Far'a camp for the fifth day after the occupation forces bulldozed and destroyed water lines and infrastructure, in addition to the power outage in parts of the two areas.

The citizens of Al-Far'a camp and the town of Tamoun are increasingly in need of basic food supplies, in addition to baby milk, due to the ongoing siege, and the occupation forces are still not allowing them to enter, which makes the humanitarian situation very bad.

In the town of Tamoun, the occupation forces continued to raid dozens of citizens’ homes and arrest them. Yesterday, they arrested 11 citizens, in addition to the detention and field investigation operations. The occupation forces also continued to raid many homes in the Far’a camp and destroy their contents.

As the storming and siege continue, dozens of citizens are still forced to flee their homes on the outskirts of the town of Tamoun and the Far'a camp, where the occupation forces have turned them into military barracks.

Over the past two days, the occupation forces have carried out several bombing operations via drones on different areas of the town of Tamoun, which did not result in any injuries. Meanwhile, yesterday, they imposed a curfew in the town of Tamoun through loudspeakers until next Sunday, noting that the citizens have basically been unable to leave their homes since the beginning of the raid.

The town of Tamoun has been facing increasing agricultural losses since the beginning of the invasion due to the farmers’ inability to reach their lands, harvest their crops and care for them. In addition, livestock and livestock breeders have not been able to reach livestock and poultry farms until now, knowing that they need monitoring, watering and feed, which threatens the death of large numbers of them and the occurrence of major losses in this area.

The infrastructure in the town of Tamoun and the Far'a camp is also witnessing major destruction by the occupation bulldozers, coinciding with the ongoing storming and siege.

The occupation's drones and helicopters continue their intensive flights in the skies of Tubas Governorate, as the aggression continues, in which dozens of patrols participate, in addition to bulldozers, heavy machinery, and hundreds of soldiers. The occupation forces also continue to send military reinforcements to Tamoun and Al-Far'a camp.

He talks nonsense, his words roll off his tongue without passing through his mind’s filters, he says whatever comes to mind but no one else does. Do you remember him when he called on Americans to drink chlorine instead of receiving the coronavirus vaccine... What would have happened to the Americans if they had obeyed his orders?

Like a raging elephant storming a pottery shop, or like a train derailing, the real estate mogul appeared in his press conference with his partner in genocide, with his noise, arrogance and infatuation with his victory over his democratic rival, striking all over the world, with orders, decrees and dictates to individuals and entities to liquidate maps, and open squares and prisons without taboos, until his colonialist soul tempted him to restore the glories of the cowboy’s heroism, to ride the highest of his horses and arrogance, to occupy Gaza after displacing its residents and establishing the “Riviera” on its ruins.

Trump's bullying and extravagance in his plans call to mind the popular saying, "A madman throws a stone into a well..."

"Crazy" is the term coined by the American political fox Henry Kissinger decades ago, during Nixon's term, with the aim of terrorizing the world and giving him a free hand in implementing his policies, so that he would not be questioned about what he was doing.

In his second term, Trump is reviving the Kissingerian recipe to produce a savage Trumpism that does not adhere to morals or laws, and is not curbed by anything to rein in its arrogance or curb its impetuosity.

It is not right to judge the noisy man who has no companion but Trump himself, without going back to his first term, during which he pulled out the “Deal of the Century” from his pocket, and awarded it to his son-in-law Kushner. This is the plan in which he threatened the Palestinian people with displacement, and he began holding conferences to mobilize positions and resources to implement it, but it soon dissipated with his humiliating exit from the White House, and became like the rest of the tattoos on the back of the hand.

If there is one single merit in the appearances and chatter of the eccentric man, it is the live ammunition test of the steadfastness of international support for the Palestinian cause at a critical existential moment. If the Authority had resorted to Hollywood and the largest American advertising companies to shed light on the Palestinian injustice, it would not have done what Trump did, who was subjected to a roaring torrent of condemnations and positions affirming the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state.

Among the courageous Arab and international positions, the Saudi position stands out, responding quickly and boldly: “No relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
