US President Joe Biden is facing pressure from members of his party to change US policy towards Israel, and to open an investigation into the policies of its new far-right government, according to Haaretz newspaper.

The newspaper said that fourteen members of the Democratic Party sent a letter to the administration of US President Joe Biden urging him to make a foundational shift in the administration's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, "in the most progressive message so far against the Israeli government since Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right coalition took power." According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The letter, which was initiated by Representative Jamal Bowman (D-New York) and Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent from Vermont), urges US President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to "make a shift in US policy in recognition of the exacerbation of violence, the annexation of more lands, And denying Palestinians rights. Only by protecting democracy, human rights, and self-determination for all Palestinians and Israelis can we achieve lasting peace.”

The letter, which was originally launched on March 28, was signed by Representative Cory Bush (Democrat from Missouri), Andre Carson (from Indiana), Representative Summer Lee (Democrat from Pennsylvania), Representative Betty McCollum (from Minnesota), and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (R-Minnesota), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (R-Massachusetts), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (R-Michigan), Raul Gregalfam (R-Arizona), Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D- New Jersey), Rep. Jesús "Choy" Garcia (Illinois) and Rep. Delia Ramirez (R-Illinois).

In their letter, the progressive lawmakers urged the Biden administration to ensure that US taxpayer money does not support Israeli settlement projects, and to determine whether US military assistance violates the Arms Export Control Act or the so-called "Leahy Act" relative to former Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. which requires the export and monitoring of US weapons to ensure they are sold only for legitimate self-defense, and prohibits the use of US funding to equip or train foreign military forces suspected of human rights abuses or war crimes.

"We call on your administration to ensure that future foreign assistance to Israel, including weapons and equipment, is not used to support gross violations of human rights, including by strengthening end-use monitoring and financial tracking," the letter to the administration says. "We ask that you respond with a detailed plan of how the administration plans to achieve this goal," the letter says.

The lawmakers affirmed that they are “deeply concerned by the Israeli government’s moves that show that the illegal de facto and de jure annexation of the occupied West Bank is well under way,” stressing that “the Israeli government’s anti-democratic mission to dismantle the rule of law is a threatening mission to Israelis and Palestinians alike.” .

And the newspaper states: “We know that your administration has met repeatedly with Israeli officials to confirm US support for “equal measures of freedom, dignity, security, and prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians” without a mechanism to implement this.

They add that Israel's postponement of planned judicial reform will fail to "reduce systemic violence against Palestinians, including the annexation of Palestinian land." The Israeli government's actions are a clear violation of international law and commitments made to the United States; its agenda will destroy Palestinian communities and escalate tensions with Dire consequences for both Palestinians and Israelis. Only clear steps to change the political situation will pave the way for peace."

According to Haaretz, more than 70 progressive American Jewish leaders lent their support to the aforementioned letter, emphasizing that "As Jews living in the United States, we come from a range of histories, backgrounds, and relations with Israel/Palestine. We all value justice and human rights. State violence is clear." Israel, as well as settler violence, is getting worse under Israel's current far-right government and effectively diminishes the possibility of justice and liberation in the future."

It is noteworthy that the official spokesperson on behalf of the US State Department said, in response to a question from the Jerusalem correspondent when announcing the aforementioned letter on March 28, that the ministry does not comment on private correspondence between it and members of Congress.

On Friday, cyber hackers were able to penetrate the websites of Israeli banks, as well as the website of the post office.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, some banks' websites were down for a limited time before they were restored.

Hackers groups "Anonymous Sudan" announced that they had hacked those sites, days after they hacked educational sites.

Large crowds performed the fourth Friday prayer of the month of Ramadan, at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque .

The Islamic Endowments Department reported that 250,000 worshipers performed the fourth Friday prayer of the month of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the Israeli occupation's restrictions on worshipers and its attempt to impede their access to Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed into law a law banning most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, after the White House called the procedure "dangerous and extreme."

"We are proud to support Life and Family in Florida," DeSantis said in a statement.

By law, women are prohibited from having an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, except if the pregnancy poses a threat to the mother's health, or is the result of rape or incest and does not exceed 15 weeks, or if the fetus is not viable.

The White House criticized the move, saying it "contradicts basic freedoms and contradicts the views of the vast majority" of Americans.

"This ban will prevent four million Florida women of childbearing age from obtaining abortion care after six weeks -- before many more women know they are pregnant," said White House spokeswoman Karen Jean-Pierre.

And the Republican-controlled Florida House of Representatives passed the resolution hours ago, with the approval of 70 deputies and forty opposition.

Florida reduced a year ago from 24 to 15 weeks, the period during which abortions are allowed. The new law will not go into effect until the Supreme Court decides on an appeal filed by the associations against the 15-week limit, on the grounds that the law violates the privacy clause.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who intends to run for the US presidential elections in 2024, reinforces his conservative right-wing orientation.

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani considered, in a television interview broadcast on Thursday evening, that talk of Syria's return to the Arab League is "speculation," stressing that the reasons for suspending Damascus' membership still exist for Doha.

"Qatar's decision is not to take any step if there is no political solution to the Syrian crisis," the official told state television.

He added that with regard to other countries, "every country has its own assessment and this is a sovereign decision pertaining to it, but the State of Qatar adheres to this position to this day. Until now, there is nothing but speculation, and nothing clear is on the table."

The prime minister was speaking on the eve of a meeting between the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt in Jeddah to discuss the issue of Syria's isolation.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman, whose country supported the Syrian opposition during the years of the conflict, said, "There were reasons to suspend Syria's membership in the Arab League and to boycott the Syrian regime at that time, and these reasons still exist for us, at least in the State of Qatar."

He added, "The war has stopped, but the Syrian people are still displaced and innocent people are in prisons. We do not want to impose solutions on the Syrian people, who must reach a solution and there must be a political solution to the Syrian crisis."

On Friday, Saudi Arabia will host the meeting in Jeddah to exchange views on the return of Syria to the Arab incubator, in the midst of major regional diplomatic moves with which the political landscape in the region has changed since Riyadh and Tehran agreed to resume relations last month.

An Arab diplomat in Riyadh told AFP, on condition of anonymity, that "the purpose of the meeting is to overcome the Gulf differences over Syria as much as possible."

For its part, the Syrian National Coalition, an opposition group that operates the Syrian embassy in Doha, praised the Qatari position on the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

"We appreciate the firm Qatari position refusing normalization with the Syrian regime," the coalition said in a statement. He stressed that the Syrian people are still "suffering the bitterness of displacement, bombing and arrest to this day."

The Saudi Crown Prince , Prime Minister and Chairman of the Council for Economic and Development Affairs, Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, announced the launch of four special economic zones.

The four regions are among the endeavors to develop and diversify the Saudi economy and improve the investment environment, in a way that enhances the Kingdom's position as a leading global investment destination, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The new special economic zones are strategically located in Riyadh, Jazan, Ras Al-Khair, and King Abdullah Economic City, north of Jeddah.

The Saudi Crown Prince revealed that the special economic zones enjoy legislative systems and special regulations for economic activities that would make these zones among the most competitive in the world to attract the most important qualitative investments, and provide tremendous opportunities for the development of the local economy, job creation, technology transfer and localization of industries.

The regions seek to open wide areas for the development of the Saudi business community by making Saudi companies benefit from the value added by those regions at all levels of supply chains and in various sectors.

He stressed that the launch of these zones continues the initiatives to transform the Kingdom into a global destination for investment and a vital center that supports global supply chains, especially after the launch of the Special Integrated Logistics Zone, which is located within King Salman International Airport in Riyadh, in addition to a number of strategic initiatives that will be announced later. .

It is noteworthy that these zones, whose activities are organized by the Special Economic Cities and Zones Authority, represent the first stage of a long-term program aimed at attracting international companies, encouraging foreign direct investment, and enhancing the growth of future qualitative sectors, by creating a world-class infrastructure, to support local and international investors, and provide opportunities Distinguished investment, supported by an integrated and developed system of rules and regulations.

Incentives for companies include competitive tax rates, customs duties exemptions for imports, production inputs, machinery and raw materials, 100% foreign ownership, and the ability to attract the best global human resources.

The Rabat Court of Appeal on Thursday-Friday increased prison sentences for three defendants in the case of rape of a child, according to an AFP journalist, a case that had shocked Morocco and abroad due to a reduced sentence in the first instance.

The court increased the sentence of the main accused from two years to 20 years in prison, while increasing the sentence of other defendants from 18 months to 10 years in prison.

One of the defense attorneys for the victim, Sanaa, 12, Abdel-Fattah Zahrash, told the press, "We are satisfied with this verdict, which did justice to the victim, but we did not understand why only the other defendants were sentenced to 10 years in prison."

He explained that the victim's defense "will appeal the ruling to the Court of Cassation after consulting with the victim's family."

Earlier Thursday, the court heard this child in a closed session, during which she confirmed that she had been subjected to repeated rape, resulting in a newborn, according to her lawyer, Muhammad al-Sabar.

The incidents go back to last year when she was no more than 11 years old in a rural area near the city of Tiflet, on the outskirts of the capital.
After her family filed a complaint, on March 20, three adults were convicted of "deceiving a minor" and "violently defiling a minor."
However, the initial penalty did not exceed two years in prison for one of them and 18 months for the others.

The ruling, which was revealed by women's rights activists, sparked widespread discontent in the Kingdom, as it was greatly lenient. It has brought to the forefront demands for a review of legislation and tougher penalties in cases of sexual assaults on minors and women in general.

Before the start of the court session, around noon on Thursday, the victim appeared in the courtroom, accompanied by her father and grandmother.

She appeared silent and her body was slender, "as she still did not comprehend all the horror of the shock that occurred, although she relatively recovered her smile," according to Amina Khaled, the official in the "Insaf" association, who has supported her since she learned of the case.

Earlier Thursday, the three defendants denied before the Court of Appeal all the crimes they were convicted of committing before the Court of First Instance.
They stood before the court with their heads bowed before the judge interrogated them.

The latter confronted the main suspect with the results of the DNA analysis of the child prepared by Sanaa, stressing that these results “proved 99 percent” that he is the father of the child.

However, the accused kept contenting himself with the answer, "I don't know," despite the judge's insistence that he be given a "logical answer."

More than 20 lawyers and human rights activists attended to support the victim in this case, which aroused media interest and wide sympathy for the victim.

In their pleadings, the lawyers for the civil party renewed their request to uphold the conviction of the defendants, but with increasing the penalties "to the maximum."

Her defense attorney, Muhammad al-Sabar, said, "We do not need to discuss the facts. We are with the first instance ruling in terms of the principle of conviction (...) and the court has wide consideration."

Before adding, "However, this ruling may lead many victims to question the feasibility of resorting to justice (...) It sows despair and makes the victims lose any hope. It punished the victim instead of the perpetrators."

For his part, the defense of the three defendants requested "innocence due to the contradictory statements of the victim."

When the session resumed at night, the representative of the Public Prosecution requested "the imposition of the maximum penalties against them."

He added, "If the text helped me, I would have sought the death penalty" against the defendants, "who are guilty before God and before society (...) I ask for mercy for a child whose childhood was violated."

In the closed session during this lengthy trial, the court also heard a 15-year-old minor girl as a witness against one of the defendants. Despite her retraction of her testimony, according to lawyers, the court was convinced of their conviction and imposed severe penalties against them.

In addition, the court increased the compensation due to the victim from about $5,000 to about $14,000.
However, her defense also requested that "the Ministry of Family, Women and Solidarity take care of her financially until she reaches the age of majority."

In addition to medical and social care, the victim was able to go to school "for the first time" with the help of the "Insaf" association, according to Amina Khaled, who is responsible for it.

Human rights activists supporting the victim expressed their hope that the debate sparked by this case would lead to a review of legislation, in order to enhance the protection of victims and ensure that there is no impunity.

Moroccan human rights organizations have previously criticized, in separate cases over the past years, sentences that were considered lenient against those accused of sexually assaulting minors.

About 18,000 cows died in an explosion at a dairy farm in the southern state of Texas , the US authorities announced Thursday, noting that one person was injured.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said in a statement that the incident is "the most serious ranch fire in Texas history." "It will likely take some time to investigate and prosecute those responsible," he added.

The explosion and fire on Monday night destroyed the "Southfork" dairy farm located near the town of Dimit in the Texas Panhandle region.

Firefighters and police who rushed to the scene found "a person trapped inside." The Castro County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook that the farm worker was rescued and airlifted to a hospital.

Miller confirmed that the source of the explosion and fire was not known and described the incident as "horrific".

"Once we know the cause and the facts surrounding this tragedy, we will make sure to inform the public of all the details to avoid disasters of this kind in the future," he added.

The county sheriff's office, Sal Rivera, told YBS that the manure removal system in the barn could have overheated, noting that the methane gas could "ignite and then spread in explosion and fire."
He confirmed that an investigation had been opened into the incident.

A powerful tropical cyclone hit virtually uninhabited areas in Western Australia on Friday, bringing record winds of 288 km/h, according to weather services.

Hurricane Elsa was classified as Category 5 (highest), and made landfall near the village of Bardo in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Perth, 19 hours away by car. On Friday, he heads to the desert interiors of Western Australia.

No injuries were reported and the main population centers were spared. "We have not received any requests for help," emergency services spokesman Peter Sutton told ABC.

The owners of a gas station and car park in Bardo said on social media that their businesses had suffered severe damage.
And the meteorological services stated that the hurricane was accompanied upon its landfall with continuous winds of 218 km / h on average, in addition to gusts of 288 km / h. These figures are unprecedented for Australia, where the highest wind speed ever recorded was 194 km/h during Hurricane George in 2007.

Elsa was downgraded to category three upon landfall, with wind speeds of 165 km/h. Emergency services declared a "red alert" for areas likely to be traversed by the hurricane.

There are many iron, copper and gold mines in this region, some of the largest mines in Australia. Some, like the Newcrest gold mine in the small town of Telfair, have slowed down as a precaution.

Port Hedland, a major iron ore shipping hub, was closed this weekend as the hurricane approached.

According to ANZ Bank, one of Australia's largest financial institutions, the closure could disrupt the global supply of iron ore, which is used to make steel.

American actor Jamie Foxx was admitted to the hospital due to “medical complications”, but he is in the process of recovering, according to what his family announced, without giving additional details.

And CNN reported that the 55-year-old actor is under medical observation at a hospital in the US state of Georgia, where he is currently filming a movie for Netflix.

His daughter, Corinne Fox, wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, "My father, Jamie Foxx, had medical complications yesterday," and, "Fortunately, thanks to prompt intervention and high-quality medical care, he is in the process of recovery."

And “CNN” indicated that the medical emergency occurred outside the framework of filming the new “Black in Action” movie from Netflix, in which Fox is co-starring with Cameron Diaz.

And the "TMZ" website, which specializes in celebrity news, stated that the actor's family, some of whose members were not with him, considered that his condition was serious enough to transfer him to the hospital.

But Fox "is able to communicate now, and this is good news," according to what the website quoted, citing an unnamed source.

The actor's agents did not immediately respond to questions from AFP.

During his career, Jamie Foxx won, in particular, an Oscar in 2004 for his remarkable performance of the character of singer Ray Charles, the legend of soul music, in the biopic "Ray".

He was also nominated for an Oscar for his role in the movie “Collectoral” in the same year, and he was imprinted in the minds recently through his performance as a slave who yearns for freedom in the Western movie “Django Unchained” by Quentin Tarantino.

In a new escalating step by the occupying power, it has limited the number of Christian brothers allowed to celebrate the Sabbath of Light in Jerusalem, which falls on Saturday, in a measure that, if anything, indicates Israel's defiance of all international laws and norms.

In addition to the fact that this step, procedure, or decision is a clear violation of the sanctity of religions and sanctities, it fuels escalation in Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, especially since it coincides with the escalation carried out by the occupation forces in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which led to the explosion of the situation through shelling and mutual shelling. Al-Aqsa was victorious by three fronts, which led to the decision of Netanyahu, the head of the occupation government, to prevent settlers' incursions into Al-Aqsa during the last ten days of Ramadan.

However, a step or decision to limit the number of Christian brothers allowed to participate in the Saturday celebrations added fuel to the fire, and the occupation state continued its incursions into Palestinian cities, towns, villages and camps in the West Bank, arrests, provocations and cold-blooded killings to fuel the situation again.

The occupying state, along with the countries supporting it, is responsible for this escalation, which threatens the consequences of matters, especially on Saturday, when the occupying state turned Jerusalem into a military barracks, which will lead to provocation of Jerusalemites, Muslims and Christians, and may lead to confrontations with the occupation forces.

What the occupying state is doing in Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank is collective punishment that contradicts international laws and norms. Indeed, international law and the Criminal Court punish it, but the colonial West prevents this and defends the occupying state and others with all aid, especially military ones, in order to continue its violations and even its crimes. right of our Palestinian people.

Likewise, the attempts of the occupying power, through its crimes and violations against Islamic and Christian sanctities, to impose its control over Jerusalem will not work, as Jerusalem has been Canaanite since ancient times, and the Palestinians are an extension of them. Today or tomorrow, Jewish as they claim and claim.

Which capital is this that they claim is their capital, and it is a military barracks, and this, if anything, indicates that the occupying state cannot annex Jerusalem and consider it its capital, but on the ground it is Arab-Palestinian-Islamic, and that the Christian and Islamic presence in Medina for centuries, and it is a city in which Christians and Muslims lived as brothers and they respected their festivals and sanctities and defended them. Israel is a country that lives on escalation, killing and terrorism, but that will not last long.

People agree that the (delayed) Israeli aggression is inevitably coming, and they are right for two reasons. The first reason: the criticisms leveled by the home front for the leadership of its weakness and inability to rule and provide protection, and the Israeli army for the weakness of the military response and accusing it of eroding its deterrent power, and the successive statements of Israeli leaders, experts and analysts calling for By escalation, and the second reason: Their knowledge of the nature of the enemy, which always seeks to achieve the element of superiority, even by committing bloody massacres, because the defect in it poses an existential threat to them, and their knowledge also of their enemy, who considers war a hoax, and not using the usual destructive force is a trick and a postponement of aggression to pass the celebration of holidays.

This reinforces some of the signs mentioned in Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech, where he repeated his acknowledgment of the erosion of the deterrence capacity more than once when he said, "We have lost the deterrence force because of the rejection orders within the army." Then he said that restoring deterrence requires time, but we will restore it. And he used terms such as deterrence is damaged, we will restore deterrence and we will correct the situation, and we are ready for strong operations and our hand is long, and he said there are still many threats and we are at the height of the battle preparing for major operations on all fronts if required, but he added, saying we do not seek a broad confrontation, but if we are forced we will do without hesitation . Netanyahu has an interest in escalation, and he has received successive blows with the legendary steadfastness of Jerusalem in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the heroic operations in the West Bank and our people in the 48th, rockets from the Gaza Strip, southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights, and under the pressure of internal disintegration and the continuous demonstrations against him for a long time, and Ben Gvir’s blackmail and smothering him, and perhaps comments His opponents over his speech push him to speed up this, as Gantz commented on his speech, saying: He who weeps is not fit to be a leader, as Neftali Bennett described his speech as meager, while Lieberman called on Likud members to overthrow Netanyahu, for his part, Lapid commented on his speech, saying while our enemies continue to beat us, Netanyahu has lost control in front of the nation. What makes matters worse are the Channel 13 surveys, in which it was stated that;

71% of the Israeli public is dissatisfied with the performance of current Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the Likud party has fallen to 20 seats in the opinion polls, while Gantz's party has risen to 29.

Most importantly, what was stated in the Washington Post, based on a leaked document from the US Pentagon, says that the "Mossad" is behind the protests against the Netanyahu government.

Therefore, the door to possibilities for escalation is open, and the nature and extent of aggression depend on the following elements:

The ceiling of aggression allowed by the United States of America and the extent to which it can support Israel in international forums, according to the new data. As for the military, it was prepared for that and sent the submarine "USS Florida", as it entered the region recently and began crossing the Suez Canal, and it is capable of carrying up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles. According to US statements, the submarine was sent to help the US Fifth Fleet to spread maritime security and stability in the region. .
Assessment of the Israeli military position based on security and intelligence information about the preparations of all parties and their ability to cooperate, coordinate and work jointly, and whether the aggression will be on one front or other.
The assessments of the Minister of War, the Chief of Staff, the security services, and the Home Front Command of the Israeli army's capabilities and readiness, and the possibility of a ground intervention.
The readiness and willingness of the Israeli home front and its endurance.
The goal or objectives of the military operation (political achievement, restoration of deterrence, changing the rules of combat, saving face).
Possibility of calling reserve and its size.
Time factor and time slot available.

Possible fronts of aggression:

Firstly. On one front, which is an Israeli desire, most likely to be the Gaza Strip.

secondly. Several fronts in the event that this is imposed on them, and the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon are candidates first, or the Golan and southern Lebanon.

Third. Iran front, bombing nuclear reactors and other targets.
Attack scenarios:

The first scenario: the assassination of leaders or cadres of the resistance would be tantamount to preserving Netanyahu's face in front of his opponents and critics in the event of a lack of response and escalation.

a. A battle between wars in which the air force and artillery are used, ground maneuvers, and an attempt to storm the borders, a method that was previously implemented by the Israeli army.

B. Calculated escalation without bombing, using air force, artillery and missiles only, and a limited bank of targets.

However, these two trends are governed by the nature of the response of the resistance, and the response is usually strong and equal, depending on the nature of the aggression and the size of the losses.

The second scenario: a limited ground advance under heavy air, land and sea support on one or more axes in an attempt to achieve field gains and arrest fighters or liberate prisoners to influence morale and consider it a field achievement.

The third scenario, which is the most dangerous: an all-out war in which encirclement, isolation, rapid breaching, and the advance of ground forces on multiple axes and access to missile launch areas under the use of destructive preliminary bombardment by land, sea, and air in a scorched-earth pattern, as happened in 1982 in Lebanon.

The fourth scenario, based on the arrival of the US nuclear submarine and the mobilization of the Fifth Fleet: The bombing of Iranian nuclear reactors coincides with airdrops on targets near the border.

As for the resistance, whether Palestinian or Lebanese (and Israel is aware of this), all available information indicates its awareness and deep knowledge of the nature of the enemy, its plans, and what it hides, and it also has something to surprise the enemy with. It has demonstrated this in the theaters of operations and battlefields and during previous Israeli attacks, and it will not accept changing the rules of combat and the deterrence equations that have been achieved through its steadfastness, its heroic combat performance, and our great people's embrace of it and the enormous sacrifices it has made.

As for Iran, its leaders have stated that they have prepared for this possibility, whether by developing their long-range missiles, air defenses, or sleeper cells, and organizing a target bank corresponding to the Israeli target bank declared against it, including the depth of the Israeli presence in occupied Palestine, in addition to the American bases that will participate in the aggression against it, with the movement of sleeper cells and the closure of sea lanes. According to the developments of the aggression.
Finally, Netanyahu's summoning of the opposition leader on Saturday to the security briefing session, in the presence of senior military leaders, is evidence that Netanyahu is seeking to confirm the opposition's support for a renewed escalation on the fronts where Israel bombed.

As of the moment of writing this article, the teachers' strike, demanding their financial and professional rights and a trade union to represent them, has not ended. Many articles, statements, and interventions discussed the strike, whether through the written press, communication networks, or press conferences. This article exclusively discusses the position rejecting the teachers' strike according to two phrases that spread through writings and statements, and we mean my two sentences: We are with the teachers' just demands, but we are against the strike. P (but) here opens the appetite to examine that sentence. And the second sentence that the strike disrupts the educational process.

The first sentence at the beginning carries quite a bit of deception, as the contradiction between its two parts is clear, as one of the most basic rights of teachers and established in the law is the right to strike, and I have no doubt that whoever writes that sentence fully understands this, so why write it when the situation is like this? Simply because it seems that he feels embarrassed by denying the right of teachers to their legitimate demands, and at the same time he takes a stand against the strike, so he falls into the prohibited that cannot be addressed, which is the blatant contradiction, but that sentence may be betting that its author will do its work in destabilizing the teachers in their strike, as it is With the rights, but.... To cross out the (but) that preceded it, so the author of the sentence becomes actually against the strike, even if he claims that he is with the rights of teachers. Herein lies the deception.

This is from one side. On the other hand, the second sentence that is repeated with the previous sentence is: with the rights of teachers and against disrupting the educational process. I mean, against the strike, because the strike disrupts, without any doubt, the educational process. However, here stands the obvious truth: The legislator, in whatever country he was, fully understood and realized when he affirmed the right to strike that striking as a legal right for workers in various sectors will necessarily disrupt life in the concerned sector, whether it is health or educational, industrial or service, otherwise it is simply not The meaning of the strike mechanism is as a mechanism for union pressure if it does not disrupt a facility or a sector, then disruption here is a mechanism for pressure, and that is the meaning of strike in the first place, and every time the unions announce a strike, whether in the health sector, transportation, university institutions or schools, it only rises in the face of those strikers The shout that is presented as a condemnation of the strikers: You are disrupting the procession.

However, in our estimation, the utterers of those sentences only realize what we have mentioned above. However, they do not say the double truth: Those who do not fulfill the rights of teachers are the first and foremost responsible for disrupting the educational process, not those who demand their rights. The second fact is that the government can meet teachers' financial demands by reconsidering the distribution of the budget in favor of the most vital sectors for the citizen, health, education, housing, agriculture and infrastructure, at the expense of the sectors most responsive to the Oslo Accords. This is the path that the government must take, not the way of violating the agreements with representatives of the teachers' movement, nor spreading the political background to their strike.

The word "deterrence" used by the official Zionist discourse long ago was accompanied by the word "strength", then soon it was accompanied by the word "erosion", and gradually it became accompanied by the word "restoration" of deterrence!

The Zionist strategy relied mainly on the policy of pre-emptive strikes and a quick response to anyone who "preyed" the entity. This was accompanied by an "aura" of intimidation, intimidation and terrorism, so that everyone who wants to achieve the entity's goal should think of counting to a million, and this policy was reinforced by the "dazzling" victory of the entity in the 1967 war, which was a major "setback" by all standards for the Arabs, as much as it was fuel. "Nuclear" to amplify the feeling of power in the entity's imagination, then came the Tenth of Ramadan War, to reduce this arrogant "puff", and was preceded by the Battle of Dignity, to add another dimension in "reducing" the pathological feeling of Zionist superiority, then came the war to expel the resistance from Lebanon to end the stage Important in the history of the Arab-Zionist conflict, as the era of wars between the official Arab regime and the entity effectively ended, and the war began between the entity and state organizations, such as Hezbollah and the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, and what remained of the resistance organizations.This was accompanied by that popular resistance that took the form of uprisings and uprisings, to That the confrontation reached a new form imposed by the historical moment, which they call the phenomenon of lone wolves.The truth is that the wars or battles that took place between the entity and the official Arab regime provided the entity with a satisfactory accumulation of a sense of superiority and power, and thus, the adoption of a policy of "deterrence". However, the "small" victories achieved by the resistance in the confrontations between the entity, the state organizations, and the popular resistance began to discuss the deterrence force little by little, and did what nails do when digging into rock. It is true that what it achieves is little, but perseverance and persistence have caused a chronic headache in the Zionist body, and the story of "personal security", which constitutes the cornerstone of the success of the "state" and its strong security arms, began to eat into the Zionist imagination, until it became a permanent item on the agenda of the candidates for the Zionist Parliament elections. And the story of deterrence rolled along with the increase in unilateral attacks carried out by an unorganized Palestinian resistance, until the story of deterrence and the provision of personal security became emptied of its content.

The presence of about seven million Palestinians between the sea and the river is the greatest existential challenge to the entity, and if only 1% of them were ready to undermine the Zionist presence, this entity would have to remain in a state of feeling threatened, let alone when this percentage increases exponentially, and other forces accompany it. Armed with different weapons, whether in Gaza or the occupied West Bank?

The occupation hoped to eliminate the people of Palestine, albeit in a figurative sense, leaving none of the moral and physical methods of genocide that it did not commit, in the hope that it would extinguish the flame of national feeling, and erase all the common elements stored in the Palestinian collective mind, whether it was in the “inside” of Palestine or In the diaspora, an integrated system of Arab and foreign collusion and aid helped him in that, each according to his ability!

The name of Palestine has not been erased from the dictionaries of living languages. The symbolic step of raising the flag of Palestine at the United Nations may not mean anything on the ground, but it is a testament to the failure of Israel and those who have provided it with the means of force. Practically there is no “state” called Palestine, in the true sense of the state, but The Palestinian carries his "state" in his chest wherever he goes, whether he is under direct occupation or in the diaspora. Thus, the "state" was transformed from a political entity that could be eliminated, into an emotional entity, in the Palestinian imagination, that it is impossible for enemies to reach.

Nowadays, there is no one on earth who can compete with the "children of Israel" in the historical, religious and national sense, except for the Palestinians. There is a complete "embracing" of the "national home for the Jews" by everyone in this world, and only the Palestinians are disturbing the Zionists, for example in Al-Aqsa. The picture today is very clear: defenseless Palestinians resist all methods of Judaization and temporal and spatial division of their bodies, men and women, old and young, children and adults, and they are not waiting for help from anyone, not because they renounce aid, but because “no one” is the one who cares for them. Their tongues with Bilal's immortal saying: one is one, and they are being tortured in Ramadan by Arabs and non-Arabs, as if God Almighty had "honoured" the Palestinian with this "sacred duty" and singled him out for the resistance of this corrupt "gang", from the flocks and herds of Smotrich and Ben Gvir.

One of the paradoxes noted by Hebrew writers is that the Jew and the Palestinian exchanged roles regarding the dualism of David and Goliath. David, the weak Jew with the right, became a Palestinian, and Goliath the arrogant, unjust Palestinian became a Jew. In the end, the victory was in the “Old Testament” of David under occupation, whose Zionism ensured With all forms of oppression, marginalization, persecution, and injustice to their opponents, and outside the occupation, the "others" took care of trying to keep the Palestinian in a state of panting, fear, and instability, (rather... persecution and accusation) defending his small family from menstruation, to educate children, and to spare them the evils of "malnutrition" and national anemia, Hoping that this would distract him from the passion of the heart and the kiss of conscience, but to no avail.. Did we not say that he carries his homeland in his chest?

Political science professor Hassan Al-Barari wrote, in a tweet on Twitter: There are limits to the power of the occupying state, which did not win any war after the 1967 setback. their former kingdoms. A long time ago, the myth of the "invincible army" fell into oblivion. Now it is losing its deterrence, a country that no one fears, and it is the least respected ever. The way it deals with security challenges indicates that it is exhausted and tired, and there may be many weaknesses that will be revealed in the coming days. And finally we read with their Hebrew poet Yaakov Gilad: "You never want to be there. So, what do you do? Nobody asked you what brought you here. But, when you grow up and you have a son, and that boy asks you: What do I do when I become a young man?" You will tell him: Leave this country, and do not ask anyone.” About "The New Arab"

Continuing and continuing attacks by the Israeli occupation authorities, their officials, and settlers against the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, including provocations, continuous abuses, serious daily assaults and incursions, have become a real threat to the region, and what is happening is a gross violation of international law and an unprecedented tampering with the existing historical and legal situation in an attempt to perpetuate the temporal and spatial division of the mosque Al-Aqsa in light of the dangerous policies implemented by the occupation authorities in Jerusalem to change the city's identity and legal status as well as its demographic, cultural and historical composition.

The Israeli occupation has no sovereignty over any part of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Al-Qudsi Al-Sharif, as it bears the Arab and Islamic identity of occupied Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Palestine, and therefore all forms of infringement on it are absolutely rejected and unjustified, and that Muslim worshipers have the absolute right to pray freely and safely in and around it at any time. without any hindrance or violence, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque constitutes the historical and civilized place for Arabs and Muslims all over the world, and Palestine occupies its place, and Jerusalem and its sanctities lie in the heart of it, for the entire Islamic nation, and the eternal association of Muslims all over the world with the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first of the two qiblahs and the third of the Two Holy Mosques.

The dangerous escalation of the Israeli occupation forces and terrorist settlers by repeatedly storming the Holy Sanctuary, during the holy month of Ramadan, which continues every day with its various activities, to the brutal attack on worshipers and those who are in retreat in its courtyards while performing their prayers and rituals, including women and children, and led to the injury and arrest of hundreds of them, and inflicted Damage to the Al-Qibli prayer hall, which is a provocation to the feelings of Muslims all over the world, an assault on the existing legal and historical situation, and a serious violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The Israeli government of extremism and its occupation-based authority are the ones who bear responsibility for the consequences of these dangerous provocative actions by the occupation army and the armed settler militias by continuing the systematic brutal attacks, deliberate provocation and repeated incitement to fuel the situation and provoke a religious confrontation with unimaginable consequences.

In light of these practices, which are now reflected in international peace and security, the international community, and in particular the Security Council, in its capacity as responsible for maintaining international peace and security, must shoulder its responsibilities and take urgent action to take the necessary measures to deter and stop the dangerous Israeli escalation, along with all other illegal and provocative measures and policies that affect the city. Occupied Jerusalem and the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Qudsi Al-Sharif without selectivity or double standards.

Here, it is necessary to re-emphasize the importance of the historical Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship over the Islamic and Christian holy places in the city of Jerusalem and its role in protecting these sanctities and preserving the existing legal and historical status therein. The Department of Endowments of Jerusalem and the Affairs of the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque of the Jordanian Ministry of Endowments, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites is the authorized body.

Jack Teixeira , 21, who is suspected of causing one of the most serious scandals of leaking classified documents in ten years in the United States , will appear before the judiciary on Friday, the day after his arrest.

And US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that this junior employee of the Air National Guard was "arrested without incident" Thursday in the rural town of Dayton, south of Boston, in the state of Massachusetts (northeast).

American television channels broadcast his arrest directly.

The Pentagon said the young man was suspected of causing a "serious danger" to the national security of the United States by publishing classified documents online about the war in Ukraine that also reveal that Washington is collecting information on its allies, including Israel and South Korea.

This is one of the very embarrassing issues for President Joe Biden's government.

A source in the US Department of Justice said that the young man could appear in court in Massachusetts on Friday.

Television channels broadcast aerial footage of his arrest on Thursday. The footage shows a man with his hands on his head and wearing a gray shirt and red shorts slowly retreating towards the armed men in camouflage uniforms before being arrested and then taken to a car.

The White House announced that US President Joe Biden, who is visiting Ireland, was briefed on the arrest of the young man.
Biden had previously stated his concern about the leak.

The US Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation after the documents were leaked.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the leak was the work of a young man working on a military base who shared his information on a private online group on the social network Discord. Under the pseudonym "OG", the suspect published the most famous documents issued by the military base where he works.

The National Guard said Jacques Teixeira, who was hired in September 2019, is a computer and communications specialist with the rank of pilot first class, the third lowest in the hierarchy.

OG had asked other members of the Discord group not to publish and expand the documents, stressing that he did not want to be a whistleblower, as reported by the Washington Post. However, he criticized the state, denouncing the "abuse of power", as well as the police and intelligence services.

The group includes 24 people, some from Russia and Ukraine, and brought together since 2020 by their common passion for firearms, military equipment and religion.

White House spokeswoman Karen Jean-Pierre said the United States was studying the "national security implications" of the leak. She added that the Pentagon also decided to impose more restrictions on access to this type of sensitive information.

And the presidential spokeswoman added that the US government wants social networks to "avoid facilitating" the distribution of such confidential materials, stressing that it "bears a responsibility towards its users and towards the state."

A spokesperson for the Discord chat forum platform told AFP that the safety of its users is a priority, stressing that the platform is cooperating with the authorities.

US Defense Department spokesman Chris Meagher said Monday that the mere circulation of these documents on the Internet represents "a very serious national security risk and could fuel disinformation."

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday praised the "swift arrest" of the suspect. He said in a statement that he had ordered "a review of access to our intelligence (...) and oversight procedures within the ministry to better focus our efforts on preventing the recurrence of this type of incident."

The documents, which were published on the Internet, especially reveal the fears of the American intelligence community about the feasibility of a Ukrainian counterattack against Russian forces.

A document seen by AFP also includes US concerns about Ukraine's ability to continue to defend itself against Russian strikes.

The pioneers of the “Discord” platform, as well as the “Twitter” website and the “Telegram” application, transmitted dozens of pictures of these documents for weeks, if not months, before the media noticed them.

US authorities have not publicly confirmed the authenticity of the documents posted online, nor have they been independently verified yet.
Many of these documents are no longer available on the sites where they first appeared.

Celine Dion has announced the release of new songs, her first since the Canadian singer announced in December that she was suffering from a rare neurological condition.

The new album is titled "Love Again", and it includes musical works related to a movie of the same name, including five new songs, in addition to old works. This musical collection will be released on May 12, coinciding with the film's release in Canadian cinemas.

This is the first album since Carriage, released in 2019 by the Quebec star, who appears on screen in Love Again as her own persona.

"I had so much fun making this film. Having the privilege of appearing alongside the talented actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan in my first feature film is a gift I will cherish forever," Celine Dion said in a statement.

"I think it's an incredibly comforting story, and I hope people like it, and so do the new songs," she added.

In a nearly five-minute video she posted in December, an emotional Celine Dion announced the postponement of the European dates on her tour, speaking of her "long-term health problems".

"I was recently diagnosed with a very rare neurological disease, Stiff Person Syndrome," she said.

Because of this disease, which translates into a progressive stiffness of the muscles, Celine Dion began to suffer from walking difficulties, while the disorder also prevented her from “using her vocal cords” in the way she wanted, according to the singer.

Dion was scheduled to resume the European tour at the end of last February from the Czech Republic.

Dion performed the first 52 concerts of the tour before the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. Then, early last year, the Canadian star announced the cancellation of her North American concerts as part of this tour due to her suffering from health problems.

The American company "Tupperware", which makes the famous plastic storage boxes and other kitchen tools and sells them directly to consumers, is facing an uncertain fate.

The company admitted on the seventh of this month that it has "great doubts about its ability to continue its activity," and the price of its shares on the Wall Street Stock Exchange has since witnessed great fluctuations.

The share price collapsed by 50% on Monday after the company's warning, before recovering slightly and rising again on Thursday by more than 25%.

The company was founded in 1946 by Earl Tupper, who wanted to market his invention based on unbreakable, lightweight, resealable plastic containers.

The products were so innovative "that customers required demonstrations to understand how they worked," the company says on its website.

But the brand, which has achieved great success for decades, has lost its luster and its sales have halved in ten years, falling to $1.3 billion in 2022. The company lost $14 million last year.

Neil Saunders, a distribution specialist at Global Data, said that on the one hand, Tupperware is facing a decline in the number of its sellers, as the majority of sales are obtained by individual promoters who earn a percentage of the volume of sales they achieve, but the number of people who provide Orders regularly decreased from about 800 thousand at the end of 2012 to 284 thousand at the end of 2022.

Saunders pointed out that "Tupperware" products are no longer very popular, especially among young people. The company no longer offers highly innovative products and, in particular, has "lost a lot of market share to cheaper brands that can be found directly in stores".

In order to preserve food, some consumers are increasingly using containers that they have obtained during the purchase of ready-made meals or through delivery services.

The company has experimented with new strategies, including partnering with chain stores and expanding its online sales.

But in early March, its managing director, Miguel Fernandez, acknowledged that "2022 has been much more complex than we expected," between high inflation, continued health restrictions in China, the war in Ukraine weighing on consumer sentiment, a strengthening dollar and rising interest rates.

The company said last Friday that it had appointed financial advisors to help it "improve the capital structure and the level of short-term liquidity." The company is considering adding new investors or establishing financial partnerships, as well as selling some real estate.

In Yemen, on Friday, the process of exchanging hundreds of prisoners between the two sides of the conflict, including Saudi prisoners, began, in a glimmer of hope that gives impetus to diplomatic efforts aimed at putting the bloody conflict on the path to a solution.

"The first plane took off from Sanaa," carrying prisoners from the internationally recognized Yemeni government forces, towards Aden (south), media advisor to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Jessica Musan, told AFP.

The government has taken Aden as its temporary headquarters since the Houthi rebels took control of the capital, Sana'a, in 2014.

Another plane of the International Committee of the Red Cross will take off from Sanaa on Friday, and two other planes from Aden (south). The four planes will transport about 320 prisoners.

The Yemeni government said that 72 of its prisoners would be released on Friday, including former Defense Minister Major General Mahmoud al-Subaihi and Major General Nasser Mansour Hadi, brother of former Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. They will arrive in Aden from Sana'a. A Houthi official stated that the exchange will include 250 prisoners of the "Ansar Allah movement", who will arrive in Sana'a, coming from Aden.

During negotiations held in Berne last month, the Houthis and the government reached an agreement to exchange more than 880 prisoners. Under the agreement, the Houthis will release 181 prisoners, including Saudis and Sudanese, in exchange for 706 detainees held by government forces.

The Yemeni conflict began in 2014, and the Houthis, backed by Tehran, took control of several regions of the country. The following year, Saudi Arabia, at the head of a military coalition, intervened in the war in support of the government, exacerbating a conflict that left hundreds of thousands dead and caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

The prisoner exchange process will take place over three days, and includes Sana’a and Mocha (west), Marib (central north), Aden in Yemen, and Riyadh and Abha (south) in Saudi Arabia.

In the last major exchange that took place in October 2020, "more than 1,050 prisoners were released and returned to their regions or countries," according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The young Hamza Abu Ghanem (25 years), from the occupied city of Lod , was killed in a shooting crime committed at dawn today, Friday.

Local sources reported that the victim performed the Fajr prayer in the mosque, and when he reached his house, unknown killers shot and killed him.

And last night, ten people, including children, were wounded in two separate shootings, one of which was committed in the city of Lod, wounding seven people, including three children, while the second was committed earlier in the town of Kabul, in the north of the country. Two of the injured, one of whom is a child, are in serious condition.

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz said, on Friday, that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu , constantly prefers caution and restraint in the security field over measures that may be described as "irresponsible."

According to the newspaper, Netanyahu's security behavior is always associated with making more cautious decisions, and often does not translate his statements and threats into action, and usually refrains from initiating offensive actions that would drag Israel into the danger of war.

It showed that from 2012 to 2021, successive Netanyahu governments embarked on three major operations in the Gaza Strip , claiming that he was drawn into it by the military moves by Hamas in Gaza and other factions.

She said that Netanyahu was moving reluctantly with large-scale but limited operations, and in each of them he was wary of embarking on a major ground operation in the Strip, and was very afraid of military losses, noting that he showed this in Operation Protective Edge in 201, which succeeded. In managing it, he also showed his caution through his personal experiences.

At the same time, the newspaper indicates that Netanyahu deviated from this principle, as he sought revenge against the Islamic Jihad after the organization launched a missile during an election campaign in which he was present in Ashdod in 2019, but the refusal of the former legal advisor, Avichai Mandelblit at the time, led to the postponement of the operation that was aimed at. Leaders in the Jihad, and after two months, the operation began with the assassination of the leader in the Jihad, Bahaa Abu al-Atta .

The newspaper believed that Netanyahu's recent behavior, especially the dismissal of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant , and then his retraction, does not instill much confidence in his considerations for the future.

On Friday, Saudi Arabia will host a meeting to exchange views on the return of Damascus to the Arab incubator, more than a decade after the isolation of Syria following the outbreak of the conflict there.

Several Arab countries, led by Saudi Arabia, cut off diplomatic relations with Damascus.

The League of Arab States suspended Syria's membership following the outbreak of protests suppressed by regime forces in 2011.

However, indications have recently begun to appear of the rapprochement of several capitals with Syria, including Abu Dhabi, which restored diplomatic relations, and Riyadh, which held talks with Damascus regarding the resumption of consular services between the two countries.

The Gulf Cooperation Council meeting is being held in Jeddah, and Egypt, Iraq and Jordan are also participating in it, to discuss the issue of Syria's return to the Arab League after its membership was suspended in 2012, about a month before the Arab summit in Saudi Arabia.

And Saudi Arabia received, on Wednesday, at the same time, an Iranian delegation to prepare for the reopening of Iranian diplomatic missions in the Kingdom, and the Syrian Foreign Minister, Faisal Al-Miqdad, for the first time since the beginning of the conflict in his country.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, and his Syrian counterpart discussed "the necessary steps to achieve a comprehensive political settlement to the Syrian crisis that ends all its repercussions, achieves national reconciliation, and contributes to the return of Syria to its Arab surroundings and the resumption of its natural role in the Arab world."

An Arab diplomat told AFP that "there is a possibility" that Al-Miqdad will attend the Jeddah meeting "to present the Syrian point of view," explaining that the participating countries have not yet received the agenda for the meeting.

Another diplomat confirmed that "Saudi Arabia is completely leading these efforts, but under the umbrella of the Gulf Cooperation Council."

He stated that "the Saudis are trying at least to ensure that Qatar does not object to Syria's return to the Arab League if the issue is put to a vote," noting that he does not expect a unified position on this issue.

Announcing Doha's participation in the meeting, Majid al-Ansari, a spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on Tuesday that the change in the Qatari position on Syria "is mainly linked to the Arab consensus and to a field change that achieves the aspirations of the Syrian people."

On Thursday evening, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani considered, in a televised interview, that talk about Syria's return to the Arab League is "speculation," stressing that the reasons for suspending Damascus' membership still exist for Doha.

Gulf countries, most notably Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, provided financial and military support to the Syrian opposition factions, before the support gradually declined over the past years.

In February 2022, Doha hosted a symposium aimed at "improving the performance of the Syrian opposition" in the face of the restoration of President Bashar al-Assad's regime in recent years to some of its diplomatic position and its military control over most parts of the country.

The new diplomatic efforts come after Tehran and Riyadh announced on March 10 that they had reached an agreement between them after a seven-year estrangement following the attack on Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran over the execution of Saudi cleric Nimr al-Nimr.

Before an Iranian delegation visited Saudi Arabia this week, a Saudi delegation visited Tehran on Saturday to discuss mechanisms for reopening the Kingdom's diplomatic missions in the Islamic Republic.

The foreign ministers of the two most important regional powers in the Gulf met in Beijing last week, following the sudden announcement of an agreement to resume relations between the two countries under Chinese auspices last month.

"Assad simply refused to compromise and waited for his enemies to surrender, and he succeeded," Aaron Lund, a researcher on Syria at Century International, told AFP.

He considered that this "sends to the opposition a message that Assad will eventually win and that its allies have betrayed it."

Manchester United lived a disastrous evening by forfeiting a victory within reach and took a big step towards the semi-finals when it fell into the trap of a 2-2 draw against Seville, Spain, and Juventus won a hard-won victory over its Portuguese guest Sporting 1-0 Thursday in the first leg of the European League quarter-finals.

The occupation forces also stormed the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, and were fired upon by the resistance.

On Friday, thousands of citizens performed the Fajr prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque , despite the Israeli restrictions and restrictions.

The occupation forces assaulted the worshipers at Hatta Gate before allowing them to enter to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

It is expected that about a quarter of a million worshipers will perform the fourth Friday prayer of the month of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa Mosque, as thousands have begun to flock from the West Bank and the occupied interior.

The occupation forces deployed thousands of their personnel in the Old City and the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, where more than 2,300 policemen were dispatched, according to the Hebrew website Ynet.

Energy and environment ministers from the Group of Seven countries meet in Japan this weekend, but their differences over the pace of phasing out fossil fuels are undermining their chances of adopting strong measures in the face of the pressing climate crisis.

A draft dated April 5 of a joint statement, to be issued Sunday and obtained by Agence France-Presse, revealed deep divisions, especially with regard to the timetable for G7 countries to abandon coal in the electricity sector.

The UK, backed by France, has proposed phasing out coal in the power sector from 2030. But instead, it may reaffirm a more vague goal formulated at last year's G7 summit in Germany of decarbonising the power sector by The year is 2035.

The debate is also raging about the Japanese offering based on appropriate new investments in the field of gas under the justification of "energy security", in light of the turmoil caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022.

In 2022, the Group of Seven decided to allow gas investments as a “temporary” response to the “exceptional circumstances” related to the war in Ukraine.

Japan is also trying to win support from the Group of Seven for its controversial strategy of using hydrogen and ammonia as common fuels for its gas and coal power plants, a model it intends to export to other Asian countries.

Makiko Arima, an expert on public Japanese investments in fossil fuels from Oil Change International, believes that this "toxic" Japanese strategy threatens to "disrupt" the energy transition in Asia.

She argues that Japan's "green transition" plan only promotes technologies aimed at "extending the use of fossil fuels".

Other NGOs fear that this ministerial meeting, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday in Sapporo (northern Japan), will lead to a decline in climate-related commitments.

"If we see some kind of regression with the G7 summit, it will be horrible," said Vice President of the non-governmental organization "Global Citizen" Frederic Rueder. Dubai at the end of the year.

"If you say your house is on fire and the planet is on fire, but you do little in your home to confront powerful vested interests (...) you will not be sending an inspiring signal to the rest of the world," says Alden Meyer, researcher at the E3G climate research institute.
But the world is facing a climate emergency.

In their latest report published in March, the experts of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that human-caused global warming will reach 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial era, from the years 2030-2035.

"We have the knowledge, the technology, the tools, the financial resources and everything we need to overcome the climate problems we have identified," said commission chairman Hosung Lee, but "what we lack at the moment is the strong political will to solve them once and for all."
The Paris climate agreement stipulated containing global warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius.

"There is no doubt that the G-7 will send a message about reviving fossil fuels one way or another," a government source involved in the negotiations told AFP.

"The Europeans, who are the most ambitious in the climate field, exert a lot of pressure, and there is a Japanese resistance that is discreetly supported by the United States and Canada," he added.

But the Europeans are not always on the same wavelength. Germany and Italy in particular have been facing an energy crisis since the start of the war in Ukraine.

However, all G7 members have already agreed to call on the countries of the entire world to act “collectively” in this “critical decade”, in particular to allow the start of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions “by 2025 at the latest”, as stated in a part that was published.

The Human Rights and Democracy Media Center ( Shams ) said that the occupation state 's restriction and limitation of the number of Christian believers heading to Jerusalem to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and celebrate the Holy Saturday and the glorious Easter , is another form of racism practiced by the occupying state against the Palestinians.

The center stated in a statement issued by it that freedom of movement and movement is a right guaranteed in international human rights law, especially in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and is also guaranteed in international humanitarian law, and that freedom of religion and belief and the right to access religious places and places of worship An inherent right for every human being guaranteed by all international human rights conventions and all heavenly laws.

And "Shams" stressed that freedom of movement and the right to access holy places and places of worship is an inherent right and not a favor from anyone who can limit or prevent it whenever he wants, and it is a right attached to a person regardless of color, race, sex, national origin or belief. .

The "SHAMS" center also stressed that what the occupying state is doing is a blatant and dangerous attack on the religious rights of Palestinian Christians, and represents a new chapter of the chapters, policies and procedures of apartheid (apartheid) in the occupied Palestinian territories, and expresses a double exclusionary and biased racist policy, and is considered a consecration system of systematic apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories.

He pointed out that the occupying state uses the policy of double standards; At a time when the occupying state allows extremist settlers to desecrate Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to reach the so-called "Joseph's Tomb" in Nablus under strict guard and protection from the Israeli occupation army forces and in countless numbers, it limits the numbers and restricts the movement of faithful Christians who come to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in The city of Jerusalem on the occasion of the glorious Christian holidays.

And it prevents believers, Muslims and Christians in the Gaza Strip, from reaching places of worship in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

The Center called on the countries of the whole world, especially the countries of the European Union, to the need for immediate intervention and pressure on the Israeli occupation state in order to stop this racist and exclusionary policy that violates the most basic religious rights of believers. The Center also called on the Vatican State and the Holy See in the Holy Land to intervene urgently to stop these Israeli practices.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday that federal law enforcement officials (FBI) have arrested a 21-year-old man from Massachusetts allegedly in connection with the disclosure of classified documents that revealed classified and sensitive US defense and intelligence information. .

In brief notes at Justice Department headquarters, Garland identified the suspect as Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guard pilot, and said he was arrested "in connection with an investigation into allegations of the removal, retention, and transmission of classified National Defense information." The New York Times, which first disclosed his name Thursday, reported him as Teixeira as a member of the Guards 102nd Intelligence Wing.

Garland said FBI agents "took Teixeira into custody earlier this afternoon without incident." Before he spoke, a news helicopter over Teixeira's mother's home in North Dayton, Massachusetts, showed a man in shorts and a T-shirt walking backwards with his hands over his head toward law enforcement officers wielding rifles and wearing military fatigues. The man was soon captured and taken to the back of an armored vehicle.

The attorney general said Teixeira will appear in court to face charges in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The FBI said in a statement that agents "continue to conduct authorized law enforcement activity at home."

Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, called the disclosure a "deliberate criminal act" but declined to comment further at a news conference Thursday. "This is a law enforcement matter, and it would be inappropriate for me or any other Department of Defense official to comment at this time," he said.

Teixeira's arrest came hours after a story in The Washington Post detailed a small online group on the Discord platform where the group's leader appeared to have shared documents over several months, and that the person was known to fellow members as "OG." And he worked on a military base, while other members of the group told the Washington Post, and it is not yet known whether the accused's motives were political or ideological.

For his part, US President Joe Biden said during his visit to Double, Ireland, on Thursday, that investigators are close to identifying the suspect.

Dozens of documents exposed in the past few days contained details about the war in Ukraine, including information about expected Russian air strikes on specific targets and other Russian war plans. The records provide an unprecedented glimpse into US efforts to support the Ukrainian government, as well as the extent to which US intelligence agencies have penetrated Russian communication channels on behalf of Ukrainian forces.

The documents also showed that the United States was watching the allies closely. One document details conversations between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his top military official. He conveyed the latest concerns expressed by South Korean leaders about sending ammunition to Ukraine. A third said that Israeli intelligence agency leaders called on intelligence officials and Israeli citizens to protest divisive judicial reforms proposed by the government.
