Human rights and humanitarian organizations in the United States of America sent a petition to members of the US Senate, asking them to support a draft resolution to stop funding Israel’s human rights violations in the Palestinian territories.

The petition called for the US administration to stop funding Israel's human rights violations that have increased recently, by supporting a draft resolution (HR 3103) submitted in the House of Representatives, or submitting an accompanying bill in the Senate.

It will be that the certain news will come, even after a while, and this time everyone is waiting for the certainty of the known and felt news from Umm al-Qura, the Qibla of the Muslims, the masters of the ancient house, and it may be taken for granted, as if it is the coming reality in light of the restructuring and shaping of the regional political map, specifically the Arab one, and the issuance of normalization agreements. Reconciliation, reconciliation, and the conclusion of military and security agreements in joint cooperation with the Hebrew state by some Arab regimes and many official and unofficial Arab institutions to rush towards the normalization of political, security, cultural, sports, and tourism relations with the occupying entity. There is a phenomenon that must be stopped, and which I believe has begun to control The Arab societal path, with its system of awareness and the creation of its concepts in one way or another, where a new political promotion in the form of a liberal approach has become frequent after the failure of the pan-Arab nationalist forces and the factions of Palestinian national action in all their classical forms has been demonstrated or they have been thwarted and their theses have been thwarted and removed from the circle of influence in one way or another among the Those who are preoccupied with public political affairs, which now threatens the pillars of the system of national concepts within its entire Arab nationalist framework.

The philosophy of normalization is based on accepting the logic of defeat, surrendering to the logic of the enemy’s power according to its conditions and desires, accepting everything related to rights and rights, and thus submitting to the equation of defeat and the defeatist conditions it imposes that have a great impact on the future of the people with all its components and making the enemy have the upper hand, in the calculations of interests, which is what We are witnessing it in the current situation in light of the wave of normalization and the growing trend of what is called Arab political realism, which is based primarily on intersections to preserve the interests of the ruling Arab elites and what they represent and the interests of the occupying state in the region. These intersections were reflected through the agreements signed by some Arab regimes and the distant Hebrew state. A far cry from the concept of bringing peace to the Middle East...

The philosophy of normalization is based on demolishing the pillars of society from within, by sowing discord and undermining its beliefs and heritage history based on historical rights and Arab interests themselves, and protecting them from targeting the other, regardless of who this other is, and at various levels with the aim of casting doubt on everything related to the Arab nationalist belief and its implications. Thus, demolishing it and replacing it with other beliefs that do not relate to Arab national history and its accumulations.

Perhaps the act of normalization took its primary extent through the agreement to cross into the Arab arena through the Oslo Accords and its annexes, and its adaptation in accordance with the desires of the rulers of Tel Aviv, mainly security coordination, which came as a dramatic turning point for the demolition of national action in all its forms. From here, the concept of normalization took another and different form, as it Cooperation and full integration into the system of concepts and perceptions that influenced the course of the entire political process, which helped promote the concept of Arab political realism in general and Palestinian realism in particular.

This promotion, which has become based on what is called political realism and the necessity of looking at interactive matters and developments in the region through the prism of realism, dealing with them and accepting their results, and thus abandoning the political discourse based on national national constants and the historical rights of the Palestinian Arab people, so that the supporters of new realism have become their view of political realities based on What is proposed Israelily and internationally through the American portal and any other language that would oppose and resist the American tide and resist Israeli policies in the Palestinian territories, specifically towards an issue such as the Jerusalem issue or the refugee issue, is described by these realists as rigid, wooden speeches that do not enrich or satiate hunger, knowing that The current Palestinian discourse and its current circumstance, which has expressed and is expressing itself through the thesis of a Palestinian state on the June 4 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the framework of the two-state solution, is considered the pinnacle of new realism and engagement with public international affairs in light of international and regional developments that have imposed themselves on various decision makers. Palestinian politics over the last two decades. In my opinion, this constitutes the minimum level of national and national discourse. Without that, it is considered negligence and not in harmony with the international and regional reality.

The supporters of neo-realism see all forms of resistance, not necessarily armed or violent, against the occupation policies, as a departure from the stereotype of this realism and a sabotage of the political vision that they are trying to adopt and its results on the ground, such as saying, for example, that an issue like the issue of Jerusalem is too big for us to impose any Palestinian facts or facts on it. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with what is proposed on the ground, and for supporters of adherence to constants to abandon the “wooden language” regarding the issue of Jerusalem, and that the call for steadfastness and strengthening the reasons for Arab and national steadfastness in it in light of the circumstances of the Palestinian Authority and its leadership and the challenges that impose themselves on this leadership is considered a rhetorical escalation. Against this leadership or the embarrassment of such a leadership that is contradictory to itself and its discourse, (as many supporters of the thesis of political realism have infiltrated its existence and the basic characteristic of the form of Palestinian leadership has become contradiction, confusion, and going into the unknown), knowing that the reasons for steadfastness do not have to be only material, with the importance of support. Moreover, the political vision towards Jerusalem, defining the principled language and vocabulary, and including them in the official Palestinian discourse, based on clearly defined and applicable program plans according to a scientific and practical approach at the same time, would strengthen the Arab steadfastness in Jerusalem, and at least confront it. To Israeli policies or to disrupt their paths of action, sabotage and change their Arab features and cultural identity, and thus a discourse that is usually described in the language of these realists as wooden and illogical in light of the circumstances of power.

In light of the struggle between the language of neo-realism and its supporters with the Arab national language based on the historical national and Arab right, we find these realists trying to bet on the international thesis through the portal of the American empire and its policies in the region, only to find, through the margins of these policies, some crumbs on which to subsist to practice political speech and the art of realistic theorizing about... The necessities of the stage and its requirements, the civilization of political engagement and the ethics of the American era in managing diplomatic affairs on the basis of taking into account interests and spheres of influence, and the necessity of making the required concessions so that we can take our place in the club of new Arab liberals who agree with the new conservatives in Uncle Sam’s country, and so that we can be in contact with the capitals of the so-called. With Arab moderation.

One of the most important conditions for this club’s membership is that what they call the “wooden language” in national and national issues such as the Jerusalem issue and the refugee issue is abandoned. Most importantly, resistance in all its forms and types, from stone-throwing, sit-ins, demonstrations, and even expressing a point of view, is rejected. In other words, we must dialogue with the other. In the conflict equation, and to accept the principle of dialogue and dialogue over every Israeli practice, and they have the right to do whatever they want without us having the right to simply strengthen the reasons for steadfastness and steadfastness.

The White House administration has the right to hold consultations and discussions with Arab foreign ministers and intelligence directors of countries that influence the regional equation, to give them its instructions and orders on how to prepare the regional stage for the next, ongoing American action towards and in the region. What is required of us, based on realism, is to acknowledge such facts.

In the context of the official regional political engagement, which is programmed to some extent by the United States in the form of an international character, there are observations that must be highlighted to the pioneers of new political realism in the region and the pioneers of normalization and its promotion. Perhaps the most important of these observations can be summarized as follows:
The White House administration does not believe that the time has come to resolve the issues of the so-called final stage regarding the Palestinian issue, which is of course meant by the issues of Jerusalem, refugees, and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state.

Creating a general political and diplomatic atmosphere in the region by the White House and the Israeli government in cooperation with the new Arab and Palestinian realists, considering that the region is not prepared for the so-called settlement peace, and this fully expresses the Israeli position.

An attempt to establish and consolidate the concept of the border dispute on the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is at least what the American-Israeli theses carry and demonstrate, and this is clearly evident in the Israeli view of the peace process, which calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state with temporary borders that negotiates with the Israeli side on the disputed issues, which is What supporters of political realism promote under the slogan of “accomplishing what can be accomplished,” meaning that what is required is to make concessions on the part of the Arab side, and the Arab side, of course, is not stingy in making such concessions.

An attempt to consolidate the concept of an axis of moderate Arab countries (the apparent Sunni...) in the face of the Shiite tide... (the Iranian threat...) to create a new political scarecrow in front of the official Arab regime in the service of American interests in the region in the face of the Arab nationalist tide based on resistance and resistance.

There is an American political failure in the region and there are attempts to manipulate the policies of the White House, through public relations management around the Palestinian issue.

An attempt to change the concept of Arab national security, change its compass towards Iran, and reduce the Israeli threat to Arab national security as a whole.

There are attempts to domesticate the forces of resistance and rejection of American, and therefore Israeli, policies in the region, and this is what we see and feel in the current circumstance.

In this way, I see that realistic engagement with the issues at hand is in the service of American and Israeli diplomacy, which at best is no more than a public relations matter, the various paths of which are being worked on circumstantially in accordance with the American regional agenda in the region and its requirements.

At the meeting of the Central Council of the PLO, which approved the Oslo Accords in 1993, the majority of the members in attendance cursed the participants in the meeting, they cursed Oslo, and after speeches that lasted from 10:30 in the evening, in Tunis, the then temporary headquarters of the Palestinian presidency, until 1:30 in the morning, it was summed up. Abu Ammar responded to the critics of Oslo by saying: “This is just one of the disadvantages of Oslo. Oslo is much worse than that.” He asked someone from here (from Tunisia) how many kilometers to Jerusalem, and they replied: Not less than three thousand kilometers. He asked who is the closest to Jerusalem?? Is it Gaza and Jericho or Tunisia, Algeria, Cairo, Amman, Baghdad and Damascus??.
He said: “I am going to Gaza, and Jericho is the closest to Jerusalem. Whoever comes with me is welcome, and whoever remains in his position outside Palestine has freedom and movement.” And this is how Yasser Arafat did it.

There are many disadvantages of Oslo that can be observed, but what Abu Ammar achieved through Oslo is the second historical achievement for the Palestinian people. The first was the birth of the Liberation Organization in 1964 at the hands of Ahmed Al-Shugairi, and the launch of the armed struggle on 1/1/1965, which culminated in the Battle of Karama on 3/21. /1968 and the Jordanian-Palestinian partnership in victory over the Israeli enemy after the defeat of June 1967.

Abu Ammar's final achievement for his people is the Oslo Accords, which led to:
1- The dual American-Israeli recognition of: the Palestinian people, the PLO, and the legitimate political rights of the Palestinian people.
2- On the basis of this recognition, the following steps were taken:
a. Gradual Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian cities, starting with Gaza and Jericho first.
B. The return of the late President Yasser Arafat, along with more than 350,000 Palestinians, who returned to Palestine during the period from 1994 to 1999.
C. The birth of the Palestinian Authority within its homeland and its self-rule are a prelude to the establishment of the Palestinian state.
Dr.. The last and most important of which is transferring the entire Palestinian issue from exile to the homeland, thus shifting the conflict from outside Palestine to inside Palestine, using Palestinian tools in confronting the enemy of the Palestinians.

The Palestinians have no enemy, except one enemy: 1- The one who occupies their land, 2- Confiscates their rights, 3- Attacks their dignity.

The Oslo Accords were passed in the Israeli parliament with the votes of the five Palestinians: 3 from the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality headed by Tawfiq Ziad, and 2 from the Arab Democratic Party headed by Abdel Wahab Darawsha. Had it not been for the five Palestinian representatives, the Oslo Accords would not have been approved by the Israeli parliament, as the Labor Party is headed by Ishaq Rabin and the Meretz movement had 56 seats, and Likud, headed by Yitzhak Shamir, had 59 seats, which rejected and voted against Oslo, so the five Palestinian votes were the most likely.

The second Israeli battle against Oslo took place with the assassination of Rabin on November 4, 1994, and the fall of Shimon Peres to Netanyahu in the elections in May 1995.

Thus, the Israelis thwarted the Oslo Accords until Sharon came and reoccupied the Palestinian cities in March 2002, and Arafat was besieged and assassinated by Sharon at the end of 2004.

The occupation governments worked to practically abolish Oslo, and to confirm their control and occupation over all the cities and lands of the Palestinian Bank, with the exception of the district, which is the seat of the Authority and its president. It will remain so and allow a role for the Authority until the absence and departure of President Mahmoud Abbas, and then for every recent incident.

The Palestinians remember the Oslo Accords more than they remember the Second Intifada, which was the strongest expression of demolishing the illusions attached to this ill-fated agreement, and of the popular refusal to surrender.

The invocation of Oslo on its anniversary annually is due to the fact that this agreement is an unfinished process, meaning that Israel aimed, through it, and under its cover, to deepen the settler-colonial project and perpetuate hegemony over all of Mandatory Palestine. Only the Palestinian Authority, one of the outcomes of Oslo, is committed to it, specifically security coordination, which is the essence of this agreement. If we borrow Patrick Wolfe's common saying about colonialism, this agreement is "a structure, not an event."

This agreement has disastrous repercussions that will take perhaps an entire generation to be eliminated, to achieve salvation from the nightmare of colonialism, and to achieve liberation and return. The most dangerous of these repercussions: The fragmentation of the national movement, the occurrence of division, the dissipation of the national liberation project, and the undermining of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which has a dual historical function. As a tool of liberation and a gathering vessel for all the Palestinian people, at home and in places of refuge.

These repercussions are ongoing, resulting in continuous attempts to reproduce it and make it eternal. To clarify and add, to understand the factors for the sustainability of this agreement, what it protects and protects the ever-expanding colonial project is the emergence of a political-economic class, upon which the rule of the Ramallah Authority is based, and whose interests have become linked to the survival of this agreement.

Over the past years, this agreement/deal has been thoroughly analyzed and dissected by research centres, forums, magazines, analysts and others, and these institutions have hardly finished dealing with a new development in the Zionist settlement project, until they are surprised by another new development, to confront it in an attempt to understand it and anticipate its consequences. Israeli, Palestinian and international.

The latest of these developments is the most blatant version of colonial brutality, the so-called decisive plan, by its architect, the Minister of Finance and Minister in the Ministry of Defense, Bezalel Smotrich, which is being implemented on the ground, under the current right-wing settler coalition government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu.

On the Arab and global levels, this agreement allowed Israel’s unprecedented expansion in the Arab and global world, as new Arab regimes fell into the clutches of normalization and the security alliance. At the global level, the Palestinian cause has lost large, important countries such as China and India. The number of countries that recognized Israel after the Oslo Accords reached 165, up from 110 before Oslo.

Years passed after the suppression of the second intifada, which was dominated by almost complete Palestinian submission, and which ended with thousands of martyrs, wounded, and detainees. During this very bad period, the Palestinian security forces were re-engineered, at the hands of the American General, Leith Dayton, to consolidate their function as a protector of Israeli security, by preventing and suppressing resistance. Money also flowed from donor countries, whose goal was to protect the authority and not to liberate the West Bank and Gaza Strip from occupation and settlement, or popular economic development.

This money played a role in linking the authority and its dependent and distorted economy to the neoliberal system, and in providing comfort for the occupation to practice oppression, expansion, theft, and siege at a small cost. This resulted in profound social, economic and moral transformations, which strengthened poverty on the one hand, and grew a middle class with the ability to consume and a wealthy segment, which distanced people from the mentality of struggle and resistance.

Resistant reaction

In recent years, specifically the last decade and a half, initiatives to appeal the Oslo Accords and what it represents, and what results from it on a daily basis, of brutal colonial practice against the land, people, and history, have been renewed and even intensified. These are independent popular initiatives. The living forces of the Palestinian people wrote verses of resistance and steadfastness on many occasions.

These initiatives, which take different and diverse forms, from cultural, to popular and armed resistance, in addition to civil resistance on international arenas, people’s arenas, played an important role in reviving hope among broad popular groups, and new groups crystallized, especially vital ones, such as youth, Freed from the shock of the defeat of the second intifada. These groups, especially the most aware, educated, and courageous, are currently undertaking the recovery of the narrative and regaining awareness of one Palestine, one people, and one destiny, but in the face of major internal and external challenges, and many dangers.

Important opportunities have arisen and are emerging for these generations, and their vanguards, in their resistance to the Zionist and colonial project, which generated an official apartheid system, represented by the issuance of successive reports about Israel as an apartheid regime that practices crimes against humanity.

Israel has created the reality of a single state, ruled by an apartheid system, which has contributed to re-exposing its settler-colonial reality, a system that is inconsistent with the era of democracy and human rights. All of this contributed to reviving the authentic Palestinian liberation project, which includes Palestine between the sea and the river, on the ruins of the colonial apartheid system.

Now comes the crushing, unprecedented internal crisis that is ravaging the Israeli entity, revealing its blatant contradictions and its horizontal and vertical divisions. But in order for this division to transform from a dispute over the form of the state, and between the desire to restore Jewish colonial democracy and abandon its colonial Jewish democracy, to a struggle for democracy between the sea and the river, that is, abandoning the colonial apartheid system and its privileges granted to the Jews, we need a qualitative shift. It is true in our thinking, our organisation, our vision of liberation, our performance and the way we manage the conflict. This is the greatest challenge facing vital segments of our people, whether young or old, men and women, individuals and institutions. "About Arabs 48"

Anyone who observes artist Dr.'s drawings cannot Alaa the caricature shot except the acknowledgment that the owner of this brush and imagination is in fact a doctor and thinker whose opinions extend beyond the lines and colors of the pen in the form of artistic paintings documenting current and historical events and facts in the Palestinian political, humanitarian and struggle scene under occupation, and similar to them in the Arab and Islamic arenas.

Dr. Alaa Al-Laqta is a distinguished person who thinks with his brush, and presents his opinion in the form of a painting or paintings that summarize all the explanations and contemplations, reaching the viewer’s mind as a concentrated dose of awareness, with which the viewer of the painting does not need a deep analytical reading that may be right or wrong.

The paintings of the Palestinian doctor Dr. Alaa Al-Laqta, in its political and humanitarian contexts, is of the “avoidable plain” category, where the person reading it feels - with a closer look - that he is in front of an international philosopher and thinker who scatters his ideas and spreads them through his brush of resistance to the occupation, which is an echo of his conscience burdened with pain, national concern, and the bleeding of the Palestinian wound, so that It reaches all minds, and touches the hearts of the simple and the educated, and the visions do not differ regarding the intended meanings and dimensions behind it.. The goals of the intention that Dr. wrote. Alaa Bayaraa is what you see on paper, as internalized by the artist with the brush and colors, and there is nothing other than the feelings and emotions that the eye captures in its first and quick reading.

I have heard the name Dr. Alaa Al-Laqta since he was a student in Romania during the 1990s, where one of my relatives was studying with him in medical school there, and then I followed his drawings in more than one magazine and newspaper here and there. Perhaps what attracted me to him was his artistic creativity, and his expressions that surpassed all the articles I was writing, so I used the splendor and thought contained in them to decorate the pages of the books that I was publishing, especially the series (The Man is a Position), which consists of ten parts, and contained within its covers the widest hospitality. Of these drawings, which amounted to more than 200, their meanings and ideas matched the objectives of the political analyzes published in those articles.

Dr. was Alaa is always generous and generous. He did not receive a fee from me for these artistic paintings. He considered all of this to be a gift from him to the homeland, and offered it as an “ongoing charity” and a deed in the balance of his good deeds.

When I was putting the final touches to my book (Perish and Do not Depreciate...Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa in the Palestinian Struggle Scene: Father Manuel Muslim as an Example), I asked Dr. Alaa wanted to draw with his brush a picture of Father Manuel that expressed this meaning, and the response came with a wonderful painting of Father Manuel in a scene of a knight who puts a war hood on his head in preparation for confronting the enemies. The hood was the Dome of the Rock, which made Father Manuel even more proud of his positions defending Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.

In 2009, I met Dr. Alaa in Cairo at one of the hotels in the Heliopolis district (Radsun Blue) during my official visit there, for the purpose of meeting a high-level European delegation that aimed to open a dialogue with the Hamas movement, and meet some of its political leaders.
Dr. was Alaa - at that time - was residing in Nasr City, so it was an opportunity to get to know him more, and to exchange conversations with him about politics and literature, and how he came from the world of medicine, solutions, and the surgeon’s scalpel to the media space and the painter’s brush. It was an enjoyable meeting, as no one who saw the man and interviewed him was like anyone who heard about him, as I truly found in him a person who combined kindness, humility, and nobility of behavior, and who possessed the quality of literature that allows us to say: “He had a miracle in his morals.”

How many times did he honor us with drawings that we requested from him in particular. He was as generous in his giving as the sending wind, as he helped us with his brush, which blessed more than one of our intellectual works and the frontispiece of a book.

Dr. Alaa is an authentic Palestinian artist. Today he stands deservedly on the ladder of international fame. Many of his paintings, which exceeded ten thousand paintings, made their way to many newspapers and magazines in the Arab and Western arenas. His name is in the Palestinian imagination alongside the creative artist Naji Al-Ali (may God have mercy on him). And others who rose in the world of art, such as Samir Mansour, Imad Abu Eshteiwi, Muhammad Sabana and others, although each of them took a different artistic approach in their expressions of the Palestinian situation against the occupation.

He gave Dr. Alaa Al-Laqta depicted Palestinian oppression under occupation, a scene in which he exposed Israel’s crimes and aggressive violations against humanity, and gave the Palestinian child, the Palestinian prisoner, the Palestinian woman, and the Palestinian resistance their right to the spectacle of heroism and the epics of struggle, whose images captured the Arab and Islamic mentality, and were embodied through the keffiyeh, the aqal, the stone, and the slingshot, the manifestation of the struggle scene. The Palestinian and his widespread presence in regional and global arenas, as a fighter for freedom and self-determination... The stone in the hands of his children is one of the tools of his struggle against the occupiers, and the flag that his youth raises high is also a message of challenge to the aggressor’s army and a declaration card for the identity of his country, Palestine, and the sheikh strikes with his slingshot and the resistance with his bullets. It is also a message to the worlds: No, we will not be complacent.

With every Palestinian event, we were waiting to see his artistic painting with eagerness and passion, wondering: What did Alaa’s brush draw?! How many times have we tweeted our admiration at him, saying: How wonderful you are, Alaa. You have hit the nail on the head with the truth, and you have preceded all of us in conveying it to the old and the young, to the person of sound mind and to those who are even consciously poor.

In fact, there are many in my country who have engraved their names with their sacrifices, and left behind more than one fingerprint and trace behind them with their blood, while you have left, with the ink of your pen and the pigments of your studio, artistic paintings that live with us in our consciences, are immortalized on the pages of books, and decorate the walls of offices and library spaces. You are for your people, through your giving, an icon and a snapshot. In the highest.

Due to the wide acclaim and acceptance of his caricatures, they are widely circulated by social media pioneers, and therefore his Facebook account was closed more than once, but he succeeded in finding other media channels and outlets, so that his interaction with the Palestinian and Arab masses continued in his struggle. uninterrupted.

Indeed, God knows best, Alaa.. How many compliments and compliments you have received, for the beauty of those caricatured expressions, which were always (pain) a cure for the evil. One suffices to watch the reactions of social media activists and their beautiful comments to these cartoons expressing the groans and pain of the Palestinians, as a result of the injustice and betrayal of those in their Arab neighborhood or those who were supposed to represent the voice of human conscience and the free world.

Today, O Palestinian refugee, your pen travels from one country to another; From Romania to Egypt to Bahrain to Kuwait to Turkey, and despite all this easternization and Westernization, the appearance of your feather remains the most wonderful and has the deepest impact on the souls of your followers. Your arrow reaches where you intended and the target was with this “resistance feather.”

Yes; Resisting bullets have their share of the reward and their entitlements from the liberation project, but the soft power represented by the artist’s brush also has its share of the same thorn.

Truth and without compliments, Dr. Alaa Al-Laqta, with his brush and paintings, is like drones flying far away and killing the occupation. This resistance brush has contributed to transferring our oppression to the world, and Israel has not been able to market its accusations of extremism and terrorism against his pen.

Aside from the artist’s brush, there is Alaa the human being with a kind word and high morals, a son of the camp who is full of manliness and chivalry and speaks out about what he truly sees and people do not underestimate their things. We have always known him to be loyal to his fellow artists in mentioning and praising him, appreciating their efforts in the context of Palestinian patriotism.

Disagreements within the Israeli government have become more public than ever before, with its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ignoring the voices of far-right ministers and their demands, in contrast to what was happening in previous times when their demands were met.

It seems that Netanyahu is trying to maintain his political standing, at least vis-à-vis the United States, in the hope of obtaining an invitation to visit the White House.

This new crisis comes against the backdrop of a report published in Al-Quds.com, and reported by various Hebrew, Arab and international media, about the Palestinian Authority receiving weapons, equipment and armored vehicles from the United States, with American support, Jordanian mediation, and with the approval of the right-wing Israeli government.

After publication in Al-Quds.com, Hebrew media later confirmed the news through Israeli security sources.

Sources close to Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who is the minister responsible for civil administration in the Army Ministry, said he was very angry at the news of the Palestinian Authority handing over weapons.

The sources said that Smotrich will hold a special session today to discuss this, as reported by Hebrew Channel 7.

While his brother, in a tweet to him, called for the dissolution of the Israeli government.

A WhatsApp group for ministers in the Israeli government witnessed a sharp and angry discussion, in which the ministers demanded clarifications, stressing that the issue had not been presented for a vote or discussion.

Commenting on this, Netanyahu's office said that only armor was transported and there were no weapons, which was confirmed by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant.

Previously, yesterday, Netanyahu ignored a new request from the Minister of the so-called National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, in the cabinet session, to issue orders to tighten the conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners, especially with regard to reducing family visits to them from twice a month to once.

This prompted Ben Gvir to invite members of his party to a special meeting to discuss their next steps in light of ignoring their demands and implementing Ben Gvir’s own policies that he had promised to implement during the election campaign.

Yesterday and in recent days, Ben Gvir entered into a public controversy with Netanyahu regarding this issue, and Netanyahu asked him to stop these provocations.

According to the Reshet Kan channel, Ben Gvir decided to go to the Knesset to vote on a resolution related to tightening the conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners.

Today, Wednesday, dozens of students suffered from suffocation after the Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Anata, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.

According to local sources in the town, the occupation forces stormed the town and positioned themselves around the school complex, and fired stun grenades and toxic tear gas at it, causing dozens of students to suffer from suffocation.

This Wednesday morning, the head of the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs Authority, Qaddoura Fares, called on the international community, with all its formations and components, to intervene immediately and seriously to save the life of the prisoner Ahmed Manasra, who is being subjected to a crime that contradicts all human and moral values.

 Ahmed will be brought before the Israeli occupation court today, where he has been living in solitary confinement for two years, and is going through a difficult and complex health and psychological condition, and his continued detention poses a real threat to his life, especially since over the past eight years of his detention, all methods of torture and abuse have been practiced against him.

It is noteworthy that the prisoner Ahmed Manasra from Jerusalem has been detained since 2015, after the occupation police claimed that he carried out a stabbing attack, and he was sentenced to thirteen years.

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported, on Wednesday, that the Israeli police fear that the Minister of the so-called National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, will be handed a traffic violation against him, including a fine.

According to the newspaper, over the past nine months, the Israeli police have been avoiding issuing Ben Gvir traffic violations, especially after spotting him last January while on board his vehicle without wearing a seat belt.

The traffic violation, including a fine, was handed over to Israeli Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, who thought he should be handed it over, but has so far avoided doing so.

A senior Israeli police officer said: Simply put, they are afraid of him.

According to the Hebrew newspaper, the Israeli police did not respond for ten days to their repeated requests to respond to the case.

According to Israeli law, a passenger who sits in the back seat without a seat belt is subject to a fine of 250 shekels, and a deduction of 4 traffic points. An exception is made for those who are on a mission, but Ben Gvir was in a routine situation, and the evidence of this is the presence of his son next to him, who took the video. His father was without a seat belt twice, the first time in January, and the second time last May.

Ben Gvir was previously convicted of 78 traffic violations, and had his driving license revoked in the past.
