Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation court renewed the administrative detention of Nael Abu Al-Assal, secretary of the Fatah movement in Jericho and Al-Aghwar Governorate, for the seventh time in a row.

The renewal of Abu Al-Assal’s administrative detention comes in the context of the occupation’s policy that violates international and humanitarian laws and conventions, as his detention is renewed when his release date approaches.

Abu Al-Asal was arrested on 3/21/2022, and he had previously been arrested three times.

On Sunday evening, the Israeli occupation forces arrested a citizen and his two sons in occupied Jerusalem.

According to local sources, these forces took the Jerusalemite Abdul Raouf Jawhar and his two sons, Khaled and Adam, from their home, after storming the town of Abu Dis.

The temporary death toll from the devastating earthquake that struck vast areas south of Marrakesh, Morocco, on Friday night, has risen to at least 2,122 dead as of Sunday afternoon, according to what the Ministry of Interior announced, while rescue and relief operations for survivors continue.

The ministry said in a statement, "In a temporary toll, as of 4 p.m. (15:00 GMT), the number of deaths caused by the earthquake reached 2,122 people, and the number of injured was 2,421."

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Al-Safadi, met today, Sunday, with the Secretary of the Executive Committee, Hussein Al-Sheikh, as part of the ongoing coordination and consultation process between the Kingdom and the State of Palestine.

The two parties discussed the efforts made to stop the deterioration witnessed by the occupied Palestinian territories, and to find a real political horizon to relaunch serious and effective negotiations to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in accordance with the two-state solution, which embodies the independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the lines of June 4, 1967, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital.

The two parties stressed the need to stop the illegal Israeli measures that undermine the chances of achieving peace.

They also warned of the danger of the continued absence of real movement to resolve the conflict on the basis of the two-state solution.

The mayor of Jerusalem, affiliated with the Israeli authorities, Moshe Lion, pledged on Tuesday evening to build thousands of housing units in the Givat Hamatos neighborhood, south of the Holy City.

Leon said at a ceremony for the heads of religious Zionist communities in Jerusalem, "We will soon begin building thousands of apartments in Givat Hamatos... No one can prevent us from building in Jerusalem."

He stressed that "the municipality under his leadership will be built in all parts of Jerusalem."

The United States strongly opposes any construction in that neighborhood, considering that it does not serve the two-state solution, and has succeeded since 2012 in thwarting construction plans there.

Morocco confirmed, on Sunday evening, that it does not need any Israeli assistance in dealing with the damage of the earthquake that struck the country and left more than 2,000 dead.

The Moroccan Foreign Ministry sent a message to its Israeli counterpart, confirming that it does not need Israeli assistance at the present time, as reported by Hebrew Channel 7.

The channel indicated that Morocco sent the message against another background sent by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, during which it offered to provide assistance and send a large delegation for that purpose.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed a team from various ministries to be prepared to head to Morocco.

On Sunday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed his position of rejecting tightening the conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners, fearing any escalation inside and outside it.

According to the Hebrew Channel 7, Netanyahu informed the Minister of the so-called extremist National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, of his position, during a meeting held between them to discuss the issue.

The meeting was held prior to an expanded meeting in the presence of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and senior officers from the army, security, Shin Bet, and the Prison Service, to discuss the issue.

Netanyahu said in statements a few days ago that everything published in press reports about Ben Gvir’s decision to tighten measures against Palestinian prisoners was incorrect, which was denied by Ben Gvir, who entered into a public controversy in front of Netanyahu.

On Sunday evening, the head of the Israeli Mossad, David Barnea, threatened Iran with paying the price for any attack that might be carried out against any Israelis or Jews, whether directly or through any of its agents.

Barneyabee said at the annual conference of the Reichmann Institute, that if any attack against any Jew or any Israeli target, Iran will pay a heavy price, and the response will be in the heart of Tehran and will affect the largest leader who instructed him to carry out such an attack. I mean this, the price will be brought with great precision, starting with Who carried out the process and reached the highest levels of decision-making.

He claimed that his forces thwarted 27 Iranian attacks during the current year alone, and many cells were arrested in different regions and countries.

He said: "There is a significant increase in attempts to harm Israelis and Jews around the world, and we are working to prevent that. All of these incidents were under Iranian direction, so the time has come to set the price for this in a different way than before."

He referred to some of the operations that were thwarted, including the arrest of an Iranian intelligence officer in Tanzania, the attempted attack on the Chabad house in Athens, the attempted assassination of an Israeli businessman in Georgia, and other events.

He added: "The Iranian regime no longer has room for denial, as it basically has no immunity, and our message is clear and firm, to all those cells and those behind them: We will reach you, and we have proven that in the past, and we have no other choice."

He pointed out that there is real concern in Israel about Russian-Iranian security cooperation, and the possibility of Tehran obtaining Russian weapons that may endanger Israeli security.

On Sunday evening, Israeli Army Radio revealed the arrival of an official government delegation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The first Israeli delegation of its kind will participate in a conference organized by UNESCO in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

According to the same source, the delegation, consisting of representatives of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, does not include any minister from Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, although it was supposed to be attended by Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Education Minister Yoav Kisch.

It pointed out that Saudi Arabia refused to grant visas to the two Israeli ministers, who in turn apologized for attending at an American request to prevent sabotage of communications efforts with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations.

Today, Sunday, 5 young men were injured by live bullets during confrontations with Israeli occupation forces stationed at the entrance to Al-Arroub Camp, north of Hebron.

Sources from the Red Crescent reported that its crews provided first aid to two young men who were injured by live bullets in the lower extremities, while three young men who were also injured by live bullets in their lower extremities were transferred to a health center.

The confrontations broke out after the funeral of the martyr Milad Al-Rai (16 years old), who died yesterday evening from being hit by occupation bullets at the entrance to the camp.

On Sunday evening, Israeli occupation forces seized a water tanker in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah.

According to local sources, these forces stormed the village and seized a tank pumping waste water, belonging to the citizen Sanad Adnan Barakat, under the pretext of working in Area C.

Today, Sunday, Israeli occupation forces seized two bulldozers that were working on constructing agricultural roads in Huwwara, south of Nablus.

According to local sources, these forces seized two bulldozers working on constructing agricultural roads in the northern side of the town, 1.5 km long, and prevented the continuation of work there, under the pretext that they are areas classified as “C.”

The sources indicated that the construction of roads came with the support of Agricultural Relief in the Hawara plains, in order to strengthen the steadfastness of citizens and facilitate their access to their lands, near which the occupation is constructing a bypass road.

US President Joe Biden expected "the beginning of an era of greater cooperation" with Vietnam, which he reached on Sunday, seeking to reach a new threshold in relations between the two countries against the backdrop of growing competition with China.

The US President said at the beginning of his meeting with the leader of the ruling Communist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong, that "Vietnam and the United States are essential partners" at a "very important" stage for the world.

The Vietnamese official welcomed his guest, wishing that the visit would be "successful."

He praised the health of the 80-year-old US President, saying that he "has not aged a single day, but rather looks better than ever," in a comment that caused Biden to laugh.

The two sides are scheduled to sign a "broad strategic partnership." Until now, Vietnam has only concluded such a partnership, which represents the highest degree of diplomatic closeness it has established, with Russia, India, South Korea and China.

While Hanoi is careful not to side with Washington or Beijing, it shares the United States' concerns about Beijing's claims in the South China Sea, which constitutes an almost constant source of tension in the region.

On the eve of Biden's visit, the New York Times reported that Vietnam was secretly negotiating a new arms deal with Russia despite international sanctions.

The American newspaper quoted a document from the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance, stating that this agreement is likely to be financed through a joint oil project between Russia and Vietnam located in Siberia.

US Deputy National Security Advisor John Feiner spoke to reporters on Sunday about the decades-long military cooperation between Russia and Vietnam.

But, according to Viner, there is “growing concern among the Vietnamese” about this relationship, noting that Washington and its allies could help Hanoi “diversify its partners.”

The United States and Vietnam, an industrial hub, have increasingly close trade relations. Washington considers Hanoi an important partner and seeks to create global industrial channels that are less dependent on China.

Sunday's program includes a reception, speeches and a press conference by the US President, who on Tuesday awarded the highest military award to a helicopter pilot who saved four soldiers during the Vietnam War.

The next day, Biden will meet with the Prime Minister and President of Vietnam.

On the eve of the US President's arrival, the Hoan Kiem Lake neighborhood in central Hanoi, which is frequented by families, was decorated with American and Vietnamese flags.

In a historic neighborhood not far away, a souvenir shop sells T-shirts with Joe Biden's face printed on them.

"I think the United States is a good friend of Vietnam," said shop owner Truong Thanh Duc (61 years old).

The store owner predicted that "President Joe Biden's visit will bring more business contracts and jobs for the Vietnamese people."

However, the American leader will have to reconcile strategic interests with the defense of human rights, and Vietnam has a disastrous record in the latter area.

Opponents face intimidation, harassment, and imprisonment after unfair trials, and cases of torture to extract confessions have been reported, according to Human Rights Watch.

Biden, who often criticizes China's human rights record, has remained silent on Vietnam. Activists doubt that he will address this topic.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed Tuesday that the president will raise issues related to freedom of expression, religious freedoms and other basic human rights.
His visit comes shortly after a US government commission published a scathing report on religious freedom in which it condemned "ongoing and apparently worsening" violations in Vietnam.
On Saturday, Nguyen Bac Truyen, a legal expert and religious freedom advocate who was sentenced in 2018 to 11 years in prison for subversive conspiracy, announced on Facebook that he had been released and allowed to travel to Germany with his wife.
Vietnam often releases political prisoners before US presidents visit.
To visit Hanoi, Biden prematurely left the G20 summit, where leaders failed to agree to condemn the Russian attack in Ukraine or call for abandoning fossil fuels.
Since 1995, all US presidents have visited the Southeast Asian country.
Sullivan said Biden's visit to Hanoi is part of a decades-long effort "to overcome the painful shared legacy of the Vietnam War."
This legacy will be strongly present during this trip, which will include a visit on Monday to the memorial of US Republican Senator John McCain, who participated in the war and died in 2018.

Today, Sunday, confrontations broke out with the occupation following the funeral of the child martyr, Milad Al-Rai, in the Al-Arroub camp, north of Hebron.

According to local sources, the occupation forces fired sound and gas bombs at the young men at the entrance to the camp, and the occupation closed the entrance and prevented citizens from entering or leaving the main entrance gate.

On Sunday, Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing to resume Palestinian exports from the Gaza Strip to the occupied West Bank and Israel, after closing it for about a week due to an attempt to smuggle “explosives.”

A Palestinian official at the crossing told Agence France-Presse, "This morning, exports from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank, the Israeli side and abroad were resumed."

The official, who requested to remain anonymous, added, "A number of trucks, one loaded with ready-made clothes and the other loaded with scrap iron, entered the crossing early this morning toward the Israeli side."

The Israeli authorities, which have imposed a siege on the Gaza Strip since 2007, announced on Monday that they had suspended all exports of goods from the Gaza Strip after thwarting an attempt to smuggle explosives.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense said in a statement that the army found at the Kerem Shalom crossing “several kilograms of high-quality explosives hidden in a shipment of clothes carried by three trucks.”

Three detainees in Israeli occupation prisons continue their open hunger strike, in light of the deterioration of their health condition.

The Prisoners' Club said that the health condition of the striking detainees, Sultan Khalouf, Kayed Al-Fasfous, and Maher Al-Akhras, has deteriorated over time, and despite this, the prison administration has not responded to any of their demands.

He added that the detainee Khalouf (42 years old) from the town of Burqin, west of Jenin, who has been on a hunger strike for 39 days in rejection of his administrative detention, faces a continuous deterioration in his health condition, as he is detained in a cell “in the Ramle prison clinic.”

He explained that the health condition of detainee Khalouf is difficult, as he suffers from vomiting, to the point of vomiting blood, poor vision, severe headaches, dizziness and difficulty standing, and he moves around using a wheelchair.

He stressed that great fears are increasing regarding his fate, as the occupation prison administration is exercising great pressure against him, including eating food in front of him, and trying to convey messages to him that he is alone, and his people will not stand with him.

It is noteworthy that the detainee, Khalouf, began the strike from the moment of his arrest on August 3, 2023, and an administrative detention order was issued against him for a period of four months, noting that he is a former prisoner who spent years in the occupation prisons, and he had gone on a hunger strike in 2019, which lasted for (67 years). ) one day, in refusal of his administrative detention.

The prisoner, Al-Fafsous, from Dura in Hebron (34 years old), has been on strike for 39 days and has been detained since May 2. He is a former prisoner who spent about 7 years in the occupation prisons. He went on a hunger strike at the end of May and the beginning of last June for 9 days. He is married and the father of a daughter. He also went on strike in 2021 against his administrative detention, which lasted for 131 days in 2019, and he is detained in the cells of the Negev.

The mute prisoner (52 years old) from the town of Silat al-Dhahr in Jenin has been on strike for 19 days. He is a former prisoner who spent five years in the occupation prisons, the last of which was in 2020, during which he embarked on an open hunger strike in rejection of his administrative detention that lasted for 103 days. He is married and a father. He has six children, noting that he is detained in the cells of “Al-Jalama” detention center.

Today, Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a security discussion against the backdrop of increasing warnings of the possibility of carrying out attacks before and during the Jewish holidays that begin this weekend.

The meeting comes in preparation for the discussion that the mini-cabinet will hold next Tuesday, during which the focus will be on the decision of Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir to limit visits to Palestinian prisoners.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, Ben Gvir, Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy, Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, and others will participate in the security discussion.

The Israeli security services oppose taking any measures against the Palestinian prisoners to prevent the situation from escalating.

The occupying state does not sleep for a single minute in order to definitively Judaize the city of East Jerusalem, after annexing it following the occupation of 1967, as well as following former US President Trump’s recognition that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, disregarding all international laws and norms that confirm that the city is occupied and that all Israeli measures... The city is illegal and against international resolutions.

In order to complete the procedures for full Judaization, it was announced yesterday that the Israeli Planning and Construction Committee will discuss tomorrow, Monday, the establishment of two new settlements in East Jerusalem, one of which is located in the southern part of the city next to the “Givat Hamatos” settlement and includes residential complexes (3,500 units) and hotels (1,300). ) Chamber and commercial and labor areas.

As for the second settlement, it will be established in the Ras al-Amoud neighborhood in Silwan, the Chiyah area, and it includes 384 settlement housing units and is called “Kedmat Zion.” The goal is to accelerate the procedures for Judaizing the entire city.

The acceleration process came under the current Israeli government, which is considered the most right-wing, extremist, and racist in the history of successive Israeli governments, but it is also the most revealing of the reality of the occupying state that aims to annex, expand, and increase the number of settlements and settlers, not only in East Jerusalem, but in all parts of the West Bank, considering According to their claims, the West Bank is Jewish land, and the Jews have the right to build settlements and increase the number of settlers there.

In addition to this, there is the Israelization of education and the replacement of the Palestinian curriculum in the city with the Israeli curriculum, which distorts the Palestinian, Arab, Islamic and Christian facts and history in Jerusalem.

The occupying state threatened schools that would continue to teach the Palestinian curriculum that they would be closed and their permits would not be renewed, in addition to confiscating Palestinian curriculum books and distributing the Israeli curriculum to schools in a new precedent and in a struggle against time to Judaize the city.

In addition, there are demolition operations in full swing, especially in Silwan, Anata, Sur Baher, Al-Mukaber, and all areas of Jerusalem, to force the people to emigrate out of the city or out of the country, in the context of a process of ethnic cleansing that has been disclosed by more than one minister and Israeli official, that the goal of each The occupation measures in Jerusalem are to transform it into what is happening in Jaffa, meaning to keep the number of Jerusalemites not exceeding 20% of the population and 80% of the Jews.

There are also attacks on citizens, which include killing, arrest, injury, and disability, in addition to the taxes imposed on merchants to force them to close their stores as a prelude to seizing them. Houses have also been seized in the Old City and outside it under various allegations, and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood is the best evidence and witness to that.

In light of these measures and plans in full swing, what are we doing to confront this? What are the measures taken at the level of the leadership and all the factions? Issuing statements of denunciation and denunciation have become worthless, and the occupying state does not pay any attention to them. However, instead of uniting ranks to defend Jerusalem, we see the division still existing, and even deepening to the point where it may reach, if not He had not reached the point of separation.

Jerusalem is not for the Jerusalemites alone to defend, but rather for all Arabs, Muslims and Christians in all parts of the world, so where is everyone to protect the city and to Judaize and Israelize it?!!

Dozens of small and large daily battles are taking place across the Palestinian territories without much fanfare. These battles ostensibly aim to carry out small and limited robberies, within the framework of continuing to annex and Judaize the Palestinian lands. However, in their entirety, they represent the implementation of a program to resolve the conflict with security policies and unilateral decisions and without any Negotiation. Sometimes the occupation army and official state institutions, such as the Environmental Authority or the Antiquities Authority, take the initiative, and at other times the settlers take the initiative, protected by the army and Israeli law, to carry out plundering and robbery of Palestinian lands and property. This method has revived in recent years with the emergence of what is called pastoral settlement. But there is a thread that brings all these operations together, and if we link them to what the army, security services, the Israeli government and its various agencies are doing, then we are facing a single, comprehensive operation, whose links are integrated to deprive the Palestinian people of the material and moral components that enable them to build their independent state, by depriving them of land and all symbols and factors. Historical matters that created their national identity, their way of life, and their culture, such as religious sanctities, antiquities, and natural resources. After that, the most that remains for our people will be some facilities and improvements that are, in essence, retreats from artificial restrictions.

Among the main elements that the occupation seeks to strip us of are natural reserves, most notably the Umm al-Rihan Forest in Jenin Governorate, the forests and areas of Wadi Qana between the governorates of Salfit and Qalqilya, Wadi al-Qaf north of Hebron, and Umm Safa and Zarqa northwest of Ramallah, in addition to the areas classified (D) as reserves. Natural, such as the wilderness of Bethlehem and Hebron in the south of the West Bank.

The Religious Zionism Program, headed by extremist Minister Bezalel Smotrich, stipulates that all of Palestine’s lands, natural resources, and antiquities are the exclusive property of the “Jewish people” with a pure gift from God, and thus calls for complete control over the forests, forests, valleys, springs, caves, and antiquities. The rest of the Israeli forces refrain from declaring this for fear of international criticism, but they implement it in practice, as did successive governments, including the Labor, Kadima, and Likud governments. Rather, the Oslo Accords planted the seeds of this control by dividing the occupied territories into classifications (A), (B), (C), and (D), with official Palestinian approval of this division.

The Israeli settlement program aims to control the largest possible areas of the Palestinian territories and what is on them, and to cram the Palestinians into the towns and cities in which they reside within their currently limited areas by turning them into ghettos (Bantustans) devoid of all elements of future planning, growth and development. Confrontation with this plan is almost limited to the families affected by these policies, and some statements and reports issued by specialized civil society organizations and bodies linked to the authority. The matter is not devoid of heroic movements and struggles undertaken by the people, as in Masafer Yatta, the Jordan Valley, Sebastia, and the villages northeast of Ramallah and south of Nablus, but these struggles often remain scattered and seasonal, and lack coherence with each other and with the effort required of the official and civil Palestinian institutions, so that in their unity they form a context of struggle. Influential and effective against Israeli policies. On the other hand, the practices of the occupation army are integrated with the state’s various judicial, political and administrative institutions and the settlers’ aggressive actions, including the activities carried out by the Regavim Foundation, which specializes in monitoring, reporting and following up on Palestinian “violations” in lands classified as (C) legally, even if the matter is merely a matter of Digging wells to collect rainwater.

The town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, represents a unique example of the people’s struggle against the occupation’s plans to control the land and steal Palestinian history and antiquities. This town had a distinctive role in the history of the East during the Roman, Hellenistic, and Byzantine eras, and its antiquities bear witness to its greatness and the richness of Palestinian history. In the town there is a shrine that is said to be the body of the Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist). The Gospels and narratives say that the Ghanaian Salome asked for the head of John from her uncle, King Herod, because the Prophet rejected the king’s marriage to her mother, Herodias, his brother’s wife, so he complied with her. The town was and still is at the heart of Israeli ambitions and threats, which prohibit even attempts to care for and protect the antiquities. What is strange is that the zoning line between classifications (B) and (C) deliberately separates the antiquities from the town and keeps them within Area C, which is under full Israeli administrative and security control.

Despite the scarcity of capabilities and the unfairness of the agreements, the people developed effective mechanisms to preserve the town’s archaeological treasures, including the cathedral, the Roman amphitheater, and the Street of Columns. Among the modern monuments is Al-Kayed Palace, which was transformed into an active center for youth service and social activities. This was done at the initiative of the well-known feminist activist, the late Inaya Al-Kayed.

The town's institutions and bodies have been constantly educating their young men and women about the history of the town and the national and humanitarian importance of its antiquities. The writer touched on this during a tour with a group of activists in the comprehensive scientific and historical explanation led by the young doctor Fares Nizar Al-Kayed, who revealed to us the frantic attempts to fabricate a Jewish history of the town and its antiquities to justify Looting it and stealing its lands and antiquities. These are attempts that began with the exploratory missions that preceded the Zionist invasion, especially the missions of Harvard University in the middle of the 19th century. However, they did not find any tangible evidence of their anti-scientific attempts to link history with the narratives of the Torah, so they replaced that by stealing the most important archaeological finds and depositing them in American museums. .

The efforts of the people have succeeded in improving the tourist facilities that have begun to attract family tourist trips from Nablus Governorate, but this needs to be developed to encourage national tourism, especially school tourism. The most important thing is to launch a comprehensive national campaign to defend the town and its impact and to seek the assistance of UNESCO and other cultural, tourism and human rights bodies in the world. It is unthinkable. The task of defending Sabbat and its antiquities should be the responsibility of the people of the town alone, and it cannot be assumed that defending Jerusalem and its sanctities is an exclusive matter for the citizens of Jerusalem.

The Israeli efforts to tighten the security grip and Judaize the occupied city of Jerusalem, especially “East Jerusalem,” did not stop for a single day. And here is the Israeli government, claiming to develop buildings and infrastructure in the Holy City, unanimously approving its new plan, which aims, according to observers, to take full control of the city and work to “Israelize education,” implement programs to “brainwash” students and youth, and build colonial housing units. / “settlement” annually, changing the entire Arab and Islamic face of Jerusalem. This plan has two effects: immediate and future. The first includes making a change in the features of the city, such as demolishing homes and confiscating lands, under the pretext that these measures are for the benefit of Jerusalemites, while the future impact is the impact on the education and culture sector in the long term, that is, “Israelization of education,” in order to support the Israeli narrative through teaching Israeli curricula. Which makes Israel acceptable in the region and a natural part of it.

It is established that the new plan is in fact nothing but a continuation of previous plans announced by successive occupation governments. The Judaization project has not stopped since the first day of the occupation of “Zahrat al-Mada’in.” However, it seems that the occupation authorities, on the basis of “putting poison in honey,” after realizing the racist neglect practiced against the East Jerusalem area due to the lack of budgets allocated to it, and in an attempt, perhaps perhaps, to raise the standard of living of its residents in order to neutralize them from the resistance, hastened and approved Transferring large sums of money under the pretext of developing East Jerusalem and making it like West Jerusalem. Here lies the greatest danger of “Israelizing the Jerusalemite consciousness and mind,” focusing on teaching Hebrew, integrating students, and considering Hebrew the first language in Jerusalem, as well as linking the Jerusalemite economy to complete subordination to the Israeli economy.

On the other hand, the Israeli government is preparing to approve a new “settlement” plan under the name “New Talpiot” south of the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif. According to the “Ir Amim” Association, the leftist Israeli association specializing in Jerusalem affairs, the plan aims to “besiege the towns of Beit Safafa, Umm Tuba, and Sur Baher and flood them with colonialists/settlers, which is the area separating Jerusalem from Bethlehem.” According to observers, “The borders of the Talpiot plan extend to the existing settlements within the towns of southern Jerusalem, to connect them to those perched on the lands of residents residing in its eastern side, to form a settlement belt that surrounds the Jerusalem towns in the targeted area.”

The Israeli plans targeting “Zahrat al-Mada’in” today are larger than their previous counterparts, which means the Israeli desire to resolve the conflict over the Judaization and Israelization of Jerusalem. It is certain that the success of the occupation’s Judaizing plans in the medium and long term will impose a fait accompli in Jerusalem that will transform it like the mixed cities in occupied Palestine 1948. In this context, the Israeli Prime Minister and his extremist government, led by the extremist Finance Minister (Bezalel Smotrich), do not hide their “endeavor.” The Judaization of Jerusalem through forced migration is a continuation of the war on the identity of the Holy City, the Arab presence, and Islamic and Christian sanctities. So what are we doing as Arabs and Muslims to protect Jerusalem and the Jerusalemites?!! A question we have always asked, and others as well, but it remains unanswered!!!

Papua New Guinea is not one of the countries that we hear about every day. Perhaps most of us do not know it until it recently made news headlines after it opened an embassy in occupied Jerusalem, becoming the fifth after Trump’s ill-fated announcement of the establishment of an American embassy in Jerusalem. Papua New Guinea is a modern country that is A large island and a number of small islands in the South Pacific Ocean bordering Indonesia and Australia, and it belonged to the British Crown until it became independent in 1975 and became a member of the Commonwealth... It is not much different from underdeveloped countries, where they suffer from the control of corruption, bribery, and totalitarian rule throughout the country... All This is not important to us, what is important is what brought her to occupied Jerusalem? The speech delivered by the Prime Minister of this country (James Marape) at the opening ceremony of his embassy two days ago suggests a lot of strangeness, as he said in text: “You, that is, Israel, are the great preserver of the moral values that were transmitted to humanity... and recognition of God as Christians will not be complete without recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the nation.” And the people of Israel." God forbid that what this man said was true.

The relations of Israel with this country extend for many years and were not born as a result of political or economic agreements, but rather are based on allegations of religious and historical rapprochement between the two parties. Its credit goes back to the spread of fundamentalist Christian missionaries, specifically members of the International Messianic Embassy in Jerusalem, in the post-colonial period among the various tribes living throughout Papua New Guinea. As is known, the International Messianic Embassy in Jerusalem is one of the many international organizations working for Israel. It was established in 1980 as a response to 13 countries moving their embassies to Tel Aviv in rejection of the Israeli Knesset’s declaration that occupied Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. The Messianic Embassy Organization has a headquarters in Papua New Guinea and its members are strongly active in the Pacific countries in the form of Christian missionaries who were able to employ religion for politics and spread Messianic prophecies centered around the Messiah who will save the people of Israel at the end of time among members of Guinean society at the government and people levels, so that it was Linking the teachings of Christianity with Zionism and the Israeli entity to the extent that Papua New Guinea government ministers embraced the principle that the God of Israel is the God of the state. In the eyes of Papua New Guinea, Israel has become the country that enjoys development, culture and morals..! It simply means their savior and savior.

The irony is that the matter did not stop there, but rather extended to allegations that there was a discovery of Jewish male genes in the males of one of the ethnic groups in Papua New Guinea, which is the “Gogodala tribe,” and that - based on the allegations - they may be traced back to one of the lost tribes in Jewish history. The idea has been stuffed into the heads of primitive people in Papua New Guinea since the year 1990, until today they are convinced that they are originally Jewish, and they cheer for Israel on and off occasion.

The reactions of some European countries in particular, and America and other countries in general, to the speech of President Mahmoud Abbas before the eleventh session of the Revolutionary Council of the Fatah movement, which was held in Ramallah on August 24, if they indicate anything, they indicate the height of Israel’s international hypocrisy and the double standard whenever it occurs. It is about the Palestinian people and their cause.

The West, which allows some heretics to burn the Holy Qur’an under the pretext of freedom of expression, denies President Mahmoud Abbas the ability to express a point of view supported by historical facts, the essence of which is that the Jews of Eastern and Central Europe are Khazar Tatars who converted to the Jewish religion after their king converted to this religion, and that they are not descendants of Israel. The Children of Israel, who were mentioned in the Qur’an and that they were not Semites, descendants of Shem, son of Noah.

In fairness to the scientific truth, what was stated by President Abbas was not one of his innovations or inventions, but rather some of what was said by many researchers, whether those who studied and specialized in European and Jewish history or those who specialized in studying the Holocaust as one of the most heinous crimes against humanity in modern history.

The President did not deny the Holocaust, but rather mentioned some theories adopted by many historians and international researchers, knowing that some of them are controversial, especially by the Jews and their European sympathizers, who carry on their backs the burdens of their Nazi criminal ancestors whose hands are stained with blood, but these are hypocrites who fish in the water. Al-Akar took the initiative to take the president's speech out of context, reflecting on their loyalty and hypocrisy to international Judaism.

In order for things to be put in their correct context, we must agree that the Holocaust is a historical fact and a stain on the history of Europe, and that our people paid the price for the Nazi crimes against the Jews because Europe colluded and helped to displace our people from their homeland, rob them of their property and capabilities, and turn the vast majority of them into refugees, all of this from For the establishment of a national homeland for the Jews in Palestine.

The European, American, Canadian and other reactions ignore the fact that our people were displaced from 78% of their land in 1948 and the rest of it was occupied in 1967, and that more than six million Palestinians are today subject to the racist Jewish occupation that receives political, military and economic support from the hypocritical, arrogant West that is blind to crimes. The occupation is against our people.

There is no doubt that some of the reactions to the president’s speech constitute an insult not only to the president but also to all of the Palestinian people, because President Abbas is not an ordinary person, but rather a symbol that represents all of his people, whether those who agreed with his policies or those who opposed them. These policies, which in essence are based on respecting international legitimacy and adhering to it, and adopting a peaceful political approach in searching for a way to restore our people’s stolen rights, are the policies that are subjected to harsh criticism from a wide segment of our people, whom the Western policy of complicity with the occupation has made lose their confidence and belief in international legitimacy. He was forced to resort to violence as a means to regain his rights, and he clashed with the president’s refusal to pursue violence and his insistence on adhering to the method of searching for a political solution that would lead to achieving a just peace.

If there is a lesson that we must learn from the insulting reactions to the president’s speech, some of which exceeded all limits of tact and political norms followed in international relations, then two lessons must be pointed out that must be taken into consideration:

The first lesson is that we must understand that whoever wants to work within the framework of international legitimacy and play in the international political arena must stop entering into political minefields and realize that there are sensitive matters on which there is almost international consensus and that it is neither in his interest nor in the interest of his cause. He must not delve into it, but he must not come close to those international postulates so as not to be misunderstood or for his words to be taken inappropriately.

The second lesson, which is the most important, is that we have lost the respect of the international community for us and that there is a new international trend being developed that is trying to deal with us on the basis that we are a social issue, that we are a group of beggars at the gates of countries of the world, that we are corrupt, that have lost institutional legitimacy, that we are chasing money and that we are ready to give up our dignity for it.

We must not be ashamed to admit that our international standing is in continuous decline and that there are people and civil society organizations among us who coordinate with countries and international organizations in promoting the moral assassination of the Palestinian Authority and its symbols, and who do not hesitate to accuse the Authority of corruption, rightly at times and unjustly at other times. The Palestinian Authority, with all its components, must admit that, with its poor performance, it is also contributing to the campaign to distort the image of our people, their leadership, and the justice of their cause.

Everything is old! Old age sometimes loses its prestige and ability to perform well.

If the state of collapse that brought us to the humiliation we have reached and which made the stranger covet us before the relative is not remedied, then peace be upon us and our cause.

If we do not respect ourselves, others will not respect us. The first step towards our self-respect is a bold step towards restoring legitimacy, the legitimacy of institutions and leadership and everyone who claims to be authorized to speak on behalf of this people, and adopting transparency and making room for young energies to take their role in all facilities and joints from the base to the top of the pyramid. All of this through the legitimacy of free, transparent and fair ballot boxes to begin rebuilding the democratic approach that we dreamed of for decades and which we tried to build when the authority was established, but it faltered after its first steps!

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned Papua New Guinea's decision to open an embassy in the occupied

 city of Jerusalem, stressing that this step was illegal and constituted a violation of the international law and relevant UN resolutions,

 especially Security Council Resolution No. 478 (1980), which called on states that have established diplomatic missions in Jerusalem

to withdraw them. 

The OIC stressed in a statement that this decision contributed to the consolidation of the system of illegal colonial occupation and

 constituted a violation of the rights of the Palestinian people. It also called, at the same time, on Papua New Guinea to retract its illegal

 decision and engage in supporting the efforts of the international community aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace,

 based on international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh called on international human rights organizations, especially UNICEF, which specializes in protecting children to intervene to stop the daily killings committed by the occupation against our people, the most recent of which is the execution of the child Milad Munther Al-Rai (16 years old) in the Arroub camp north of Hebron.

Shtayyeh said in a statement issued by his office last night, “The innocence of their childhood and the softness of their childhood did not intercede for Milad, like all his fellow martyrs. They were the target of murderous, terrorist criminals, who continue to kill children and break the hearts of their parents and relatives, who are filled with intense sadness over the loss of their pleasures.” their livers, and the fruits of their hearts.”

He added: "Killers derive their continuation of committing their crimes from their feeling of impunity, a feeling that encourages them to repeat their crimes, in a tragic way that we see daily in all the occupied territories."

He continued: "I call on international human rights organizations, especially UNICEF, which specializes in protecting children, to intervene to stop the daily killings committed by perpetrators motivated by killing for the sake of killing."

This Saturday evening, protest demonstrations against the government of Benjamin Netanyahu and its plan to weaken the “judicial system” were renewed for the 36th week in a row, days before the start of the Supreme Court sessions to consider petitions against the “Abolishing the Reasonableness Argument” law.

Demonstrations took place in dozens of cities and towns, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Rehovot, Kfar Saba, and Herzliya.

Tens of thousands participated in the central demonstration on Kaplan Street in central Tel Aviv. A massive demonstration was also organized at the Horev Junction in Haifa, the Karkur Junction near Pardes Hanna, and the Karmiel Junction.

Netanyahu's government seeks to make radical amendments to the legal and judicial systems, almost completely eliminating the authority of the Supreme Court for judicial review, and giving the government an automatic majority in the judge selection committee, which a wide segment of Israelis see as "targeting democracy and undermining the judicial system."
