On Tuesday, the Israeli prosecution filed an indictment against a 17-year-old boy from Jenin.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, the detainee stabbed an Israeli in Bnei Brak, in retaliation for the operation carried out by the Israeli army in Jenin camp.

Investigations revealed that he entered Bnei Brak inside "Israel" without a permit, accompanied by his brother.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed cooperation agreements in the fields of investment and defense, most notably the kingdom's purchase of Turkish drones, following official talks they held on Monday in the city of Jeddah, according to what the official media reported on Tuesday morning.

Bin Salman, the de facto ruler of the kingdom, received Erdogan at the Peace Palace in Jeddah on the Red Sea coast, at the start of a regional tour of the Turkish president that includes Qatar and the Emirates.

And the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the two leaders held an "official session of talks and a bilateral meeting" in which they "reviewed aspects of bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries, prospects for joint cooperation and opportunities for its development in various fields."

The two sides presented "the developments in the regional and international situation and the efforts exerted towards it."

This is Erdogan's second visit to Saudi Arabia since the reconciliation between the two countries in April 2022, following the case of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in his country's consulate in Istanbul in 2018, which caused a rift between the two regional powers.

SPA stated that the two parties signed three memorandums of cooperation in the fields of energy, direct investment, and media cooperation, an executive plan for cooperation in the fields of capabilities, defense industries, research and development, and two contracts with Baykar Technology for defense and aerospace industries, especially drones.

And Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning that he had signed “two acquisition contracts between the Ministry of Defense and the Turkish company Baykar for Defense Industries, according to which the Ministry of Defense will acquire drones with the aim of raising the readiness of the armed forces and strengthening the Kingdom’s defense and manufacturing capabilities.”

The minister did not specify the number or type of drones that Saudi Arabia will receive under this deal, nor the date of their receipt.

An Arab diplomat in Riyadh told AFP that "Saudi Arabia wanted to buy Turkish drones of the type +TB2+ specifically."

The "TB2" model of the Bayraktar march, produced by the "Baykar" company (one of the two sons-in-law of the Turkish president, a partner director in it), proved its effectiveness in Libya and Azerbaijan, and then in Ukraine, where it was used shortly after the start of the Russian invasion last year.

And last month, Kuwait strengthened its army's defenses by purchasing Turkish "Bayraktar TB2" combat drones, in a deal worth $367 million.

Shortly after his arrival in Jeddah on Monday evening, Erdogan, who was re-elected president for a third term after a second election in May, participated in the activities of the Saudi-Turkish Business Forum.

The forum witnessed the signing of nine agreements in the sectors of real estate, technology, media and human capital, according to Al-Ekhbariya channel.

During his three-day Gulf tour, Erdogan is seeking to secure a financial flow to revive his country's economy, which is suffering from hyperinflation and a collapse in the exchange rate of the national currency.

Before leaving Istanbul on Monday, Erdogan said, "During our visits, our main agenda will be joint investment and commercial activities with these countries during the coming period."

Today, Tuesday, an Israeli special force kidnapped the editor, Ibrahim Shkoukani, from the Askar camp, east of Nablus.

The editor, Shkokani, was kidnapped from a laundry in the camp.

The Israeli force withdrew as soon as they kidnapped Shkokani, the editor.

We previously talked about not relying too much on the current US-Israeli dispute, which is mainly caused by the term “judicial reform”, which the US considers Israel’s abandonment of what it calls democratic values, while the occupying state, as well as America, are far from that when it comes to other peoples and even within the two states. Where discrimination is clear and evident not only against the Palestinians, but also against the Jews.

Today, we will deal with not relying too much on the differences within the occupying state, which some believe may lead to a civil war inside Israel between the "secular" Westerners and the religious biblical ones, as well as the distinction between these combined and most of the Easterners.

The ongoing dispute within the occupying state since the last elections, that is, about six months ago, and which is based on what is called judicial reform, is a dispute that can be resolved in several ways and means before it leads to what is called a civil war, especially since the United States of America is against this reform, as we indicated previously.

However, it was Netanyahu's clinging to power that fueled the situation, because his abandonment of reform will lead to the collapse of his most right-wing and extremist government in the history of the governments of the occupying state, rather the most exposed racism and clear and obvious hostility to the Palestinians, which does not bring him back to power again, but perhaps to imprisonment because of issues Bad credit and bribery filed against him.

Likewise, Netanyahu, who is well versed in politics and deception, can unite all Jews against the Palestinians through a series of attacks and wars that are launched against them, whether in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip.

We saw this clearly when he carried out the aggression against Jenin and its camp at the beginning of this month, as the opposition, which is behind the demonstrations against the Netanyahu government, supported the government in this aggression in which all kinds of weapons were used, including missiles, helicopters, drones, and various military vehicles.

When Netanyahu feels that the situation may get out of his hands, he resorts to aggression, whether against the Palestinians, southern Lebanon, Syria, or even Iran, with the aim of deflecting attention from what is happening inside Israel and to unite the Jews in supporting this aggression, and giving priority to the external contradiction over Internal contradiction and disagreement, which leads to the cessation of these demonstrations against his government.

Therefore, the Palestinian side as well as the Arabs, specifically Syria and Lebanon, are called upon to work to take caution and caution, because the occupying state, as in the past, will solve its internal contradictions and problems through wars and aggression that may be launched at any moment, especially in the aggression against southern Lebanon, where more than one Israeli official They made it clear that the situation in the north, that is, with southern Lebanon, is hot, and this means that it is possible for Israel to launch a large-scale aggression against southern Lebanon, especially since Hezbollah has established a military outpost in the Shebaa Farms, which Israel occupies and which belongs to Lebanon.

In our Palestinian reality, many internal changes take place, as well as within the entity state, which under this government of the extreme right and Jewish fascism has become more "invasive and" savage" against our Palestinian people in terms of policies of annexation, Judaization, and settlers' frenzy, and their transition from individual attacks to mass attacks against Palestinian villages and towns, the practice of collective burning of homes, property, and crops, blocking and closing roads, and attempts to burn people alive, as happened in Hawara, Turmusaya, Umm Safa, Urif, and other Palestinian villages and towns, and as an expression of an approach to the intellectual and political formation of these criminals, and not individual actions.

The most important variable is the entity’s state carrying out a massive aggression against Jenin and its camp, on the third of July, for which it mobilized more than 1,000 soldiers, 150 vehicles and vehicles, and drones, helicopters and warplanes, and involved saber units and elite forces from “Aygoz”, “Magellan” and “Yamam” And “Al-Yasam” in order to eliminate the Palestinian resistance forces, its battalions, formations, buildings, structures, and cells of the resistance fighters, at a time when the resistance is escalating its operation and developing its military, armament, and technological capabilities and capabilities, as well as its tactics and technologies.

All this mobilization in order to storm a camp whose area does not exceed half a square kilometer, and over the course of two days, the forces of the entity and its army did not succeed in advancing inside the camp for more than a third of it amid fierce resistance, which stunned and confused the leaders of the entity's state, who was forced under the blows of the resistance to withdraw from the camp, Without achieving its goals, neither in crushing the resistance nor in restoring the deterrent force, nor achieving the goals of this operation, which commentators, media figures and many leaders of the entity state described as a process that came for political goals for Netanyahu and his allies, and a show-off to serve Jewish fascism.

Here we are not going to talk and detail what the entity called Operation Garden and House, but this description comes in the context of talking about the changes taking place in the entity's state, in terms of the policies of annexation, Judaization, and conflict resolution.

With regard to President Abbas' invitation to the meeting of the general secretaries at the end of this month, in light of the brutal and barbaric aggression against Jenin and its camp, I would like to say as an introduction to that, as Lenin said, "Unhappiness in politics is the lack of representation of variables," and as Engels says, "Politics is not measured by time, but by variables." And misery in politics is to use the same tools to reach a different result.

In order for any dialogue to succeed and for our failed experiences in the light of previous dialogues, the requirements for the success of this dialogue must be met, because poisoning the atmosphere, incitement, counter-incitement, arguments and accusations are all factors that push towards repeating failure experiences as in previous dialogues, and perhaps one of the requirements for the success of this dialogue, which may be It constitutes the last opportunity for all factions of our people to leave the ego mentality and possess the absolute truth, the integrity of the approach and the choice, the need to release all detainees on a political background, and to stop all forms of political arrest and abuse of citizens, and to unleash freedom of political movement for our people, away from all forms and manifestations of demagoguery. , and sowing discord in the national ranks. Perhaps it would have been more useful to involve wider sectors in this meeting, even if it carries the call of the general secretaries of the factions, with the participation of youth, women and independent sectors.

In order not to repeat the previous experiences of failure, which reflected themselves on the popular Palestinian reality, by losing confidence in the factions and reluctant to them, and also revealed the deep crisis of the Palestinian political system, albeit to varying degrees, all previous dialogues concluded with decisions and directions, but they remained stalled, and some were These dialogues are viewed, from a tactical angle, by improving the conditions for negotiation with the entity state, and mortgaging those rights to change governments in the entity state and American administrations.

Therefore, this dialogue meeting, which will be held at the end of this month in Cairo, which is supposed to constitute an important entry point for ending the division and restoring national unity, and on the ground to address the Palestinian internal affairs, and how to manage the conflict with this “pervasive” and “savage” entity. The need to provide the elements for success for it, and to provide guarantees for the implementation of the agreed outputs, including the cessation of work in the transitional phase of the “Oslo Accords”, which means withdrawing recognition of the State of Israel, the complete cessation of all forms of security coordination with the occupying state, and exit from the “Protocol.” Paris Economic”, and the unified customs cover with the occupying state, liberating our people and their national economy from dependence on the Israeli economy, extending national sovereignty over the entire occupied Palestinian territory, and extending the legal jurisdiction of the Palestinian judiciary, which puts the occupying state and settler gangs and others before legal and political accountability, in accordance with international covenants sponsored.

Therefore, the interlocutors must deviate from the usual, by not using the same previous cliches, phrases, and terminologies. Using the same tools to reach different results will inevitably lead to failure. The issue of linking the dialogue to the agreement of some forces on the so-called international legitimacy resolutions is a failure of the dialogue and a deepening of the crisis, separation and divorce. In the Palestinian arena, and an expression of a state of political “blindness” and a lack of representation of the changes taking place on the ground, in light of the existence of a Zionist government whose composition and components are mostly extremists and fascists, who reject not only the existence of our people, but even the recognition of us as a people, and perhaps what was expressed by the fascist Smotrich Minister The entity's finances, half a security minister, and the one in charge of the settlement file in the West Bank, and his presence at the eulogy of one of the cadres of the Zionist "Likud" party in France, said that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people, and this is an invention that is less than a hundred years old.

The failure of this dialogue means that the Palestinian arena will enter into more crises, disagreements and divisions, deepening popular discontent and losing confidence in the factions, and rendering any upcoming dialogue useless.

Since the Nakba and the emergence of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Gaza has always been the national lever, which has paid a heavy price of sacrifices, to preserve the national identity from what it has been exposed to, and continues to be, from attempts to annex, obliterate, dissipate and liquidate. Here in Gaza and its camps, in 1955, the Palestinians destroyed the refugee resettlement project in Sinai, where the popular uprising was able to defy the curfew that had been imposed on the Strip, and the ruling Egyptian authorities were forced at the time to cancel their agreement with UNRWA, responding to the demands of the popular consensus uprising, which included Also, training and arming the Palestinian camps so that they can defend themselves, imposing compulsory conscription and forming a Palestinian national army, in addition to prosecuting those responsible for ordering the shooting of demonstrators and killing the martyr Hosni Bilal, as well as launching public freedoms, especially the freedom of assembly, expression and strike.

And here in Gaza, the armed resistance against the Israeli occupation army began a few days after the occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip following the defeat of the Arabs in 1967.
And in the streets of the Gaza Strip camps, the public fedayeen phenomenon arose for many years in the seventies. Also here, the spark of the great popular uprising broke out in December 1987, spreading not only to the land of historic Palestine.

Will the governments of Israel, after that glorious history of our people, succeed in achieving their goals by transforming the division that was carefully planned to annihilate the national entity and the possibility of embodying an independent Palestinian state by separating the Strip from the West Bank, whose land is being violated by settlement?

The corresponding question is whether the Palestinian national movement, whose armed revolution since the Battle of Karama in 1968 was able to regain the initiative to lead the national struggle away from tutelage and annexation; Will it continue in a state of impotence, disintegration, and acceptance of the destructive state of polarization on both sides of the division, in a way that makes it objectively easier for the occupation government to pass its liquidation plans, which are no longer hidden and are proceeding in full swing to subjugate the two powers of division, and try to break the will of the people in confronting these plans?

At a time when Israel's attempts to reach a so-called long-term truce with the Hamas authority in the Gaza Strip are proceeding under the pressure of the siege and in return for measures of an economic nature to entice Hamas to perpetuate its rule over the Strip, and while the state of impotence and helplessness continues regarding what Israel is seeking to consolidate the security function of the Palestinian Authority. In exchange for measures to prevent its collapse, the donations of the Palestinian people that rise up in defense of Jerusalem and in order to end the occupation almost delegitimize their right to resistance, as was decided in the awareness of the popular consensus in the recent battles of Jenin camp and before that the old town of Nablus and many Palestinian areas, camps and towns throughout occupied West Bank.

It is true that the people of the Strip feel tired, and perhaps let down, from being left alone to face the results of the harsh and unjust Israeli blockade, under the guise of the divisive conflict run by Israel, and driven by the factional interests of those who dominate the divisive scene. However, who knows the history of the Struggle Strip and the stubbornness of its resistance since the Nakba under the banner of restoration The name of Palestine and the status of its cause, he must learn that history and review his accounts, just as he must deduce from the donations of Jerusalem and the resistance of Jenin, Nablus and other regions, and the accumulated awareness that almost heralds a new launch for a national movement with special comprehensive features, especially in light of the delusion of the government of Netanyahu Smotrich Ben Juffair, whose ambitions are not limited to mere annexation and the imposition of transitional cantons, but also aims at uprooting and ethnic cleansing according to the biblical law, which absolutely does not exclude our people in the Galilee, the Triangle and the Negev, and anyone who opposes its racist fundamentalist thought, including by some Israelis, in The context of its ambitions to return to the project of Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates, which the rabbis of Israel are still calling for and dreaming of, as stated before the days of the extremist Jewish rabbi Eliezer Melamed regarding the borders of Israel, which, from his point of view, should extend from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq . .

Since I set foot on the land of the Strip two days ago, to hold youth meetings organized by the Land Center for Research and Studies, which also gave me an opportunity, and even a dream, to launch my book "Ghazawi... Narrative of Misery and Hope" first from the heart of Gaza, where the book recounts how I resisted the Nakba and rose towards the revolution. the uprising; My memory came back to me of how the Palestinian refugees made a horizon and hope out of the misery of life. Just as their ancestors dropped the settlement project, the eyes of the children of the camps, despite the misery surrounding them, radiate will and hope that the plans to isolate Gaza and separate it from the unifying national entity will not pass, and Gaza will remain, by the will of these young men, the heart of Palestine that beats with the right of return, just as Jerusalem beats And the Jenin camp and all parts of the West Bank, and even the Galilee, the Triangle and the Negev, are Palestinian and the Arabness of the place despite the complicity and betrayal.

On the thirtieth of this month, a recurring meeting of the so-called general secretaries who are polarized on both sides of the scene of division will convene in Cairo. Do they realize the magnitude of the risks to the cause of their people, just as accumulations are brewing in the folds of the popular confrontation of these dangers by which the Palestinian people rise to confront the conspiracy that only targets Filter everyone.

Perhaps a special responsibility rests with the Jihad movement, which has distanced itself from the struggle for power, to be aware of the content of the opportunity provided to it by the popular incubator throughout the country, and that it and the Popular Front not allow the failure of the opportunity that appears to be the last for such a meeting that loses Its credibility, and the national movement has lost its role in confronting the occupation under the dust of its battles over a power that no longer has a role other than merely remaining to protect the interests of the divisions at the expense of the people and their cause.

The jihad movement, which has fused with the pulse of the people who suffer daily from occupation and division, has the opportunity for it and the Popular Front to be their conscience without calculations, as it has always done, in order to come up with steps that restore the role of the renewed national movement in the people’s donations, and for the eroding political system at the level of the organization and the authority, its unparalleled health It is only doing unity and democracy to correct the national struggle under the leadership of the coalition Liberation Organization, and to strengthen the steadfastness of the people as a top priority for a transitional unity government. We are definitely on a date with a new birth; Either unity and urgent democracy, or a comprehensive popular movement that restores the issue and its position from the jaws of division and liquidation schemes.

Despite the low expectations of the Cairo meeting, in this article I will try to present the different scenarios for holding the meeting.

First scenario: canceling or postponing the meeting

This scenario is possible against the background of the continuing wide gap between the factions, as shown by the loss of common ground, which is an unlikely scenario. Because the factions do not want to bear the responsibility before the Palestinian people by appearing blatantly unconcerned with unity, at a time when the need for it is increasing, just as the factions do not want to anger Egypt by not responding to its call.

As for the threat of a large number of factions not to participate if political prisoners are not released, it is an attempt to harmonize with their previous calls about the inability to combine the options of resistance and settlement, and to improve the conditions for participation, although there are promises to release political prisoners or some of them, and if not The release of political prisoners or some of them, especially from the Islamic Jihad, it can boycott the Jihad as its Secretary General threatened, or it can raise this issue forcefully during the meeting, and the consequences that may ensue.

The second scenario: Reproducing previous dialogues and agreements

This scenario is likely, and it has a great chance of being realized through the issuance of a statement by the two parties along the lines of the Algiers Declaration, and the previous agreements that were not implemented or partially implemented and quickly collapsed.

This scenario can be achieved by adding a point to Algeria’s declaration that talks about a government of national unity or a government of national accord, which was present in the first draft, and was later dropped on the grounds of a lack of agreement on its commitment to international legitimacy, which is used as a hidden synonym for the conditions of the Quartet, and the meeting is adjourned with the issuance of a statement, and it remains The situation is the same.

The third scenario: division management

This scenario is achieved by actually agreeing to form an agreed-upon government (a government of unity or reconciliation) that consolidates the fait accompli and gives it a common factional legitimacy. Files, such as dealing with the plans and policies of the Israeli government, and its implementation of the decisiveness plan, which could escalate its measures against the Palestinians in light of the continuation and exacerbation of the internal crisis in Israel. The government also seeks to agree on the file of the reconstruction of Jenin camp and the file of gas... and others. It covers the fact that division has turned into separation.

The fourth scenario: a serious start in facing the challenges of this stage

This scenario is unlikely. Because the two parties to the division, especially the president, are sticking to their conditions that prevented the success of unity efforts in the past, in addition to the external factors that impede unity, the impact of which cannot be underestimated. A team from both sides of the division does not want unity unless it manages to bring the other team under its leadership, without tying its hands and its political movement at various levels, and a team wants to retain power in the sector, and add to it other achievements, such as joining the organization, or participating in the decision-making process. By forming a temporary leadership framework, which is now more comfortable than before; Because the realistic acceptance of his authority has increased, and the internal and external threats against him have receded.

And if the first and fourth scenarios are excluded, then there is competition and a race between the second and third scenarios. This is reinforced by the presence of information that the president will participate in the meeting, and if this happens, then it will be for the first time. He always does not participate until he maintains a large margin to thwart any agreement and control the course of matters.

Rajoub and Al-Arouri seek to avoid mines

Sources indicated that Jibril Rajoub and Saleh Al-Arouri resumed contacts between them, and began preparing for the meeting, and this needs to be confirmed. Files that constitute a major obstacle or a mine that could explode at any moment, so they chose the approach of postponing ending the division and deciding on the political option and the Oslo commitments, and focusing on mitigating the effects of the division, even by managing it, and focusing on searching for politically and other agreed points, such as holding elections within The formula of the Joint List, and the agreement to nominate the president as a consensual candidate in the presidential elections.

The challenge facing Rajoub and Al-Arouri is that the previous formula they agreed on failed. Because of the internal and external opposition, especially the American and Israeli opposition, which vetoed the elections, even if Hamas did not obtain a majority if it did not agree to the Quartet’s conditions, and the reasons for failure still exist.

Of course, the Fatah disputes and the nomination of several lists affiliated with the Fatah movement contributed to the failure of the implementation of the Istanbul understandings, which there is no guarantee that their implementation through holding elections, if they were to take place, would lead to an end to the division. Because the same reasons that made him accept the approach to the elections in light of the division will make him accept the management of the division afterwards, and at that time the winning parties to the division will have obtained popular legitimacy.

The current efforts face a greater obstacle in the form of an Israeli government that is more extreme than its predecessors and will be more opposed to any move that could unite the Palestinians, including holding Palestinian elections that would strengthen the Palestinians in the face of it, and it seeks to further weaken and fragment the Palestinians; It is easy for it to liquidate the Palestinian cause in all its dimensions.

Those gathered in Cairo can choose to focus on agreeing on a common program or strategy in confronting the government of (Netanyahu-Smotrich-Ben Gvir). This is a good start, but it requires a later step, which is the need to detach from the political, economic and security commitments of Oslo, and agreement can be made in this regard. the case to postpone steps such as forming a government or heading to elections; Where we are facing a transitional period aimed at exploring potentials, possibilities, and upcoming developments and acting in their light, and this requires agreement on a temporary leadership transitional formula that does not constitute an alternative to the institutions of the PLO, but it has broad powers to be agreed upon, and this did not succeed previously in the experience of the provisional leadership framework. In the Cairo agreement of May 2011, there are not enough indicators to allow for optimism about success this time. In this context, a qualified national committee representing all colours, groups, sectors and generations, and of both sexes, could be formed, tasked with drawing up a national rescue map.

Why is pessimism prevailing in this article?

This is due to a simple reason, which is that the groups of interest in continuing the division are the strongest and control over the two conflicting authorities, while the forces, groups and movements that move to end the division and embody the national interest and unity are still weak, and are not unified in their visions and demands, as some of them focus on holding elections or on the organization First, some of them demand the overthrow of the controlling group first, and the establishment of an alternative leadership title from the leadership that has relinquished its leadership role, and some of them refuse to participate with a faction or factions linked to regional political projects under a religious title and so on.

There is no way but to accumulate strength to crystallize a third current that includes forces and movements that believe in the necessity of change, and work to provide the requirements for its occurrence. The region and the world are witnessing transformations and changes that can open the doors of opportunities and Palestinian change, without which it is not possible to proceed on the path of national salvation.

The number of settlers in administrative detention has risen to a new record of eight, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, after Defense Minister Yoav Gallant signed an order to detain an additional three settlers on Monday.

Some of them indicated that choosing Turkey is the easiest for them because of the ease of obtaining residency.

And other local sources reported that the occupation forces closed the Hawara checkpoint in front of citizens in both directions, while they stopped and searched vehicles at the Surra West checkpoint, which caused a suffocating traffic crisis.

The Council had listened, in its weekly session held in Ramallah, headed by Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh, to a report from the Minister of Local Government, Majdi Al-Saleh, on the work of the two committees to assess the damages resulting from the Israeli aggression on the city and camp of Jenin, as well as on the old town in the city of Nablus. And settler attacks on the village of Umm Safa.

The Council of Ministers decided to form a committee to remove encroachments on the Wadi Al-Nar road, which is to be established to facilitate traffic movement.

He also decided to strengthen the numbers of security forces in government hospitals to protect the working medical staff, and to consider next Thursday (20/7/2023) an official holiday in Palestine on the occasion of the Hijri New Year.

It approved the direct purchase to support and operate the e-government services system, approved the final assignment of a number of development and construction projects in Jerusalem and schools in a number of governorates, and approved the national urban policy for the State of Palestine.

In his speech at the beginning of the session, the Prime Minister warned of the escalation of Israeli aggression and settler terror against archaeological and heritage sites in Palestine, calling on UNESCO to assume its international responsibilities in protecting these sites from attempts to extend control, Judaization and Israeliization.

He said: "The Israeli aggression and settler terrorism are escalating, and this time they focus on the Palestinian archaeological sites, as the town of Sebastia was stormed, as part of the continuous attempts to control and Judaize the archaeological area in the town, as well as what the archaeological area of ​​Ain al-Hawiya, west of the village of Husan, Beit Governorate, is exposed to. Meat, which is full of springs of water and ponds, as the occupation and its settlers seek to turn it into a religious and tourist destination for settlers.

The Prime Minister also warned of the seriousness of what the Israeli water company, Mekorot, had done, in terms of a sharp reduction in the water quotas allocated to the governorates of Hebron and Bethlehem, stressing that this is a "dangerous racist and discriminatory measure that deprives our people in these two governorates of their most basic rights to water, while The occupying state doubles the quantities of water for the colonial settlers, bearing in mind that the average Palestinian per capita consumption of water does not exceed 72 liters per day, while the Israeli consumes 320 liters per day. Our water is our right.”

In another matter, the Prime Minister welcomed the adoption by the Human Rights Council of a resolution calling for the development of a database of operating companies, or those involved in direct or indirect activities working in the settlements, expressing the Cabinet's gratitude to the brotherly and friendly countries that sponsored and supported this decision, given the Its importance in the annual development of the database of companies that contribute to the Israeli colonial system and its nourishment.

He called on countries that did not support the resolution to review their positions and stop encouraging the occupation authorities for their crimes, because this position is not only hostile to human rights, but also to international law.

On another issue, the Prime Minister wished the students good results in the 2023 general secondary exam, the results of which will be announced next Thursday morning, thanking the Ministry of Education staff for their efforts.

He directed the students and their families to choose the appropriate majors and professions that meet their desires and needs in Palestine, while he said to those who did not pass the exam: "It is not the end, there is another opportunity, and there are always multiple horizons."

On behalf of the Council of Ministers, he offered "congratulations from our people and from the Arab and Islamic nations on the occasion of the Hijri New Year 1445, asking God Almighty to return it to our people with freedom and the establishment of an independent state, with Jerusalem as its capital, and to the Arab and Islamic nations with goodness, progress and development."

Washington – A Republican congresswoman introduced a bill to prevent the federal government from working with companies that support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement last week.

The "Anti-Israel Hatred" bill, tabled by New York's Claudia Tenney, dubs the grassroots Palestinian boycott campaign as an "blatantly anti-Semitic movement" and to stop "a single American tax dollar" from reaching the movement. 

The bill comes on the heels of legislation passed by 36 states against BDS. 

"If we enact anti-Israel hate law under the Federal Contractors Act, we will send a powerful message that we stand firm against anti-Semitism and efforts to delegitimize one of our greatest allies," Rep. Tenney said.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) expressed concerns about the move, which it argues contradict the freedom of expression and association enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. 

Founded in 2005, the BDS movement aims to ramp up international pressure on Israel to change its policies and actions toward the Palestinian people.

Israeli human rights group B'Tselem published an investigation into the circumstances of the death of the child two-and-a-half-year-old Muhammad al-Tamimi in June in the town of Nabi Saleh, which confirmed that an Israeli soldier shot dead the child with live ammunition.

B'Tselem's overall investigation:

On Thursday, 1 June 2023, at around 4:00 P.M., the Israeli military set up a checkpoint at the southern entrance to the Palestinian village of a-Nabi Saleh, next to a military watchtower in the area. Haitham Tamimi, a local resident, returned home from work in Ramallah at around 6:30 P.M. He and his wife Marwah were planning to visit family outside the village that evening, but when they saw the traffic jam the checkpoint had caused at the village’s exit, they changed their minds and planned instead to visit a relative who had recently moved into a new home, about a hundred meters away from theirs.   

Haitham played outside with his two-and-a-half-year-old son Muhammad, while Marwah was getting ready inside the house. At 8:20 P.M., Haitham noticed two military jeeps entering the village. Fearing clashes would erupt, he put Muhammad in the back seat of the car and got in the driver’s seat. At that exact moment, several live rounds were fired from the direction of the watchtower. One hit the windshield and lodged in the dashboard. Haitham quickly started the car and, trying to get out of harm’s way, backed up and turned the car around. As soon as the right side of the car turned towards the watchtower, four more bullets were fired at them. One hit Muhammad in the head, and another hit Haitham’s shoulder. The other two bullets hit the body of the car.   

Haitham drove to his relatives’ home, and the relatives drove his car to the checkpoint. From there, Muhammad was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital inside Israel. He died of his wounds at the hospital several days later, on 5 June 2023. Haitham was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Ramallah, where he was hospitalized for four days. Muhammad’s mother did not receive a permit to enter Israel until the day after Muhammad was shot, and his father received one after he was discharged from the hospital, one day before Muhammad died.   

Shortly after the shooting, soldiers and Border Police officers entered the village, and some of them climbed onto the roofs of local houses. Young men threw stones at them, and the security forces fired live rounds, sponge bullets, rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas canisters at them and threw stun grenades. Three Palestinians were injured by sponge and “rubber” bullets, including a photographer and a minor. The minor, who was hit in the head, was admitted to a hospital in Ramallah, and two days after being discharged, he was arrested along with another young man.    

On 14 June 2023, the military released a summary of its inquiry into the incident, according to which a soldier who monitors surveillance cameras reported two Palestinians were firing at the settlement of Neve Tzuf (Halamish) and a nearby military post. An officer identified a suspicious vehicle and fired in the air. A soldier at a different guard post “identified two figures entering a vehicle.” Believing they were the Palestinians who had fired and that they were firing at him as well, and with clearance from his commander, he fired several shots at them. The inquiry uncovered that the soldier who fired had mistaken the officer’s shots for Palestinian gunfire. The officials behind the inquiry found “gaps in command and in the commanders’ control of the incident, as well as in the reports and communication between the forces on the ground, resulting in incorrect decision making.” The commander of the Kfir Brigade, Col. Sharon Altit, decided to issue a command reprimand to the officer who fired in the air against regulations.   

The inquiry’s conclusions, and the fact that the military chose to release them without being asked to do so, demonstrate the military’s brazen disregard for Palestinians’ lives. The sequence of events emerging from the inquiry reveals there was no factual basis to support the decision to fire and that it was made entirely on a single soldier’s unfounded suspicions and subjective feelings. This is not just the result of “incorrect decision-making” but an accurate reflection of Israel’s open-fire policy in the West Bank, which allows soldiers to wantonly fire inside a civilian community, with utter indifference to the consequences. It should come as no surprise, then, that the incident was whitewashed and that no one involved, from the soldier who killed Muhammad Tamimi to senior officers who sign off on policy, has been punished, save for a symbolic reprimand issued to the officer who fired in the air “against regulations.”   

GOC Central Command Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fuchs was quick to clear the military of any responsibility for the incident, saying, “IDF forces operate within a civilian environment from which terrorists carry out attacks and acts of terrorism... We do everything in our power not to harm persons who are uninvolved.” The military made similar claims after strikes in the Gaza Strip killed civilians who had not participated in the fighting. As this claim would have it, when civilians are hurt, the blame lies with the Palestinians. When they are not, it is the result of the caution Israel employs. This position has no legal basis, to say nothing of a moral basis, and it is intended solely to give the military free reign and relieve it of the obligation to obey the law.

Haitham Tamimi (44), Muhammad’s father, told B’Tselem field researcher Iyad Haddad what happened that day:

On Thursday, 1 June 2023, at around 6:30 P.M., I came home from work with my brother Aktham (46) and his son Yusef (7). Our family told us the army had set up a checkpoint at the entrance to the village. When we got there, we saw dozens of cars lined up to exit the village. There were only seven cars in line to enter. We stood there for about 15 minutes, and then the soldiers let us through; they didn’t hold us up. I dropped off my brother and his son at their house and stayed with them for a little bit. My son Ousamah (8) was there, and he wanted to stay and play with his cousin.   

Then we went home. We were going to go to a relative’s birthday in Deir Nizam, but when I sat with my wife Marwah in the yard outside our house, we saw the traffic jam at the checkpoint and decided not to go. Instead, we said we’d go visit our relative, Faraj Munir (41), who’d moved to a new house about a hundred meters away from us. Marwah got Muhammad dressed, and I went outside to play with him while she got ready. Muhammad was playing near our car.   

It was about 8:20 P.M. I saw two army patrols coming in from the direction of the checkpoint. I thought they had come to direct traffic, because the traffic jam was affecting the settlers’ road too. Usually, when the army enters the village, clashes start up with the young guys, and sometimes there’s also stone-throwing and confrontations in which the military fires dozens of bullets and grenades. Sometimes they hit our house. To protect Muhammad from all this, I decided to put him in the car. I opened the back door on the right side of the car. That was at 8:30 P.M. When you open the car door, the light inside it turns on, and the headlights turn on and off.  

I put Muhammad in the back seat on the right, and then, as soon as I got behind the wheel, live rounds were fired from the direction of the tower. One of the bullets hit the bottom-middle part of the windshield and lodged in the dashboard. I started the car right away and backed up a few meters. I started turning the car around, and then, as its right side faced the tower, I heard another burst of three bullets or more. One hit my right shoulder from behind and exited from the front. Another one hit Muhammad in the head above the right ear. He didn’t make a sound and just fell on the seat.   

When the shooting started, my wife came out of the house. When the second volley was fired, she shouted and asked what happened. I answered, shouting that they’d hit the child. I kept driving for about a hundred meters, to my relatives’ house. I couldn’t go on. I felt scatterbrained and scared. I called out to my relatives for help. I got out of the car and kept shouting. I couldn’t stand on my feet anymore. Faraj came up to us and checked on Muhammad. Until that moment, I didn’t even know that I’d been hit too. Faraj made me go back into the car to take Muhammad to the hospital. He got in the driver’s seat. Two young men, who are both relatives and neighbors, came with us, and Faraj asked them not to move Muhammad so as not to make his condition worse. He drove while honking the horn and flashing the lights, so he got past the traffic jam. At 8:40 P.M., we got to the soldiers manning the checkpoint. They stopped us, and Faraj got out of the car and shouted to them in English that we had a person who was critically wounded.   

After a few minutes, three soldiers approached us with weapons drawn. The young men lifted Muhammad to show the soldiers his injury. They let us through right after. Faraj asked the soldiers to call an ambulance because of the severe injury. At first, they refused and told us to continue to Ramallah, but then the officer told Faraj to pull over in front of the Halamish settlement and wait there. After some time, an Israeli paramedic arrived, checked Muhammad and called an ambulance right away. He checked me too, and gave me first aid, and then I was taken in an ambulance to al-Istishari Hospital at around 9:00 P.M. Later, I was told that at around 10:00 P.M., a helicopter took Muhammad to Tel HaShomer Hospital in Israel in critical condition.    

I was very worried about Muhammad. Relatives and visitors tried to reassure me, but I’d seen his injury and knew his condition was serious. Four days after the incident, I was discharged from the hospital, and that day, I got a permit to travel to see Muhammad. When I saw him, he was in rough shape, heartbreaking. He was hooked up to machines, not moving and not breathing on his own. We sat down with the doctors, and they told us that Muhammad was in a state of clinical death and that they would probably have to take him off life support. I almost broke down. I couldn’t take it. My wife saw my condition and suggested I go home, which is what I did. I said goodbye to Muhammad, even though I didn’t know for sure that this would be the last time I would see him.    

In the late afternoon of Monday, the fifth day after Muhammad was injured, the doctors at the Israeli hospital told us there was no hope and that they would be taking Muhammad off life support. They sent the body to us the same day, and we buried him in the cemetery in the village. The occupation army did not let us be. They violently dispersed the protest that happened after the funeral, and people got hurt and needed hospital care. 

Marwa Tamimi, 32, Muhammad's mother, told B'Tselem field researcher Iyad Haddad what happened that day:

I didn’t get to the hospital until the next day, after I got a permit. My uncle, Bashir Tamimi, was already there, because he was the only one the soldiers allowed in the helicopter with Muhammad since he has an Israeli entry permit. He tried to reassure me, but I knew Muhammad was in bad shape. I met the doctors and told one of them in English that I was Muhammad’s mother and that I was strong and wanted to know how he was doing. He told me, “normal.” I didn’t believe him and insisted that he explain it to me exactly, and then he told me: “dangerous.” He repeated this word four times and then said that Muhammad could die. I can’t describe the state I was in. But I’m a woman of faith. I prayed to God to heal my son.  

On the third day at the hospital, one of the doctors told me they couldn’t operate on Muhammad to remove the bullet because it had ruptured the brain and arteries. On the fourth day, my husband managed to enter Israel. He arrived a broken man. When he saw Muhammad in a state of near death, he collapsed and cried. We asked for a meeting with the doctors, so they could explain his condition to us. Two doctors and an interpreter sat with us. The interpreter told me before the meeting that she had heard people at the hospital saying Muhammad had been injured in a family fight. I explained to her exactly what happened, and she realized my son had been injured by military fire.   

The doctors told us that if they took Muhammad off the machines, he would die. We understood it was hopeless and that he was brain dead. My husband started shaking. He himself had been discharged from the hospital shortly before and was still suffering from his own injury. I was afraid he would collapse, and that we’d lose him too, so I told him to go home. He went home in the evening. My father and another relative stayed with me.    

The next day, the doctors examined Muhammad, talked to each other and then told us there was no hope and that we should say goodbye to him and take him off life support. They said that after they pulled the plug, his heart would keep beating for ten minutes to an hour. I went into Muhammad’s room and held him. It was a very difficult moment, indescribable, losing your son, the thing you hold dearest in the world, saying goodbye to him. I kept holding him until the doctors came in to unplug the machines. I couldn’t stand it and left the room.    

I dreamed of seeing Muhammad and his brother grow up together; I dreamed of seeing them study at school and university; I dreamed of seeing them succeed in life; I dreamed of being at his wedding. All we have left are the memories and his toys. Every time I see his things, I cry. I can’t face what happened.   

The Palestinian generations do not need anyone to remind them of the status of Kuwait, in which preliminary preparations for the launch of the revolution began, and on its land and among its people, the Palestinians found the most secure, reassuring and stable place.

Hundreds of thousands participated with the gallant Kuwaiti people in building their country, and they were not denied any position in the structure of the state and the system, and the Kuwaitis did not deny the exploits of their Palestinian brothers, just as the Palestinians did not deny the exploits of the Kuwaitis.

The distinguished leaders of the Palestinian revolution started from Kuwait, the engineer Yasser Arafat, the great intellectual Khaled Al-Hassan, the martyr Ali Nasser Yassin, the martyr Abu Al-Fuhood Al-Sabah, and many of the distinguished founders who drank from Kuwait’s water, wrote in its free press, taught in its schools, universities and institutes, and learned Their children are in it, and under the auspices of the Kuwaiti people and their leadership, the Palestinian institutions worked as if they were on the land of Palestine.

All factions had public representation, and the Palestinian popular federations worked unconditionally. The state and all its institutions were and still are committed to Palestine, unaffected by the winds of negative change that blew over the region and changed many of its constants.

The Kuwaiti parliament is the most courageous platform in adopting Palestinian justice, and the Kuwaiti leadership does not change or change its commitment, and the people of Kuwait are the permanent product of all this steadfastness in principle and position.

A Kuwaiti delegation is visiting us, and we are at the height of our stubborn steadfastness, so welcome to it.. and to Kuwait.. which always remains at the core of the heart.

Israeli authorities demolished the Bedouin village of Al-Araqib in the desert Negev region for the 219th time on Monday.

Although temperature reached close to 40 degrees Celsius, Israeli authorities opted to raze the tin and wood buildings of the village for the eight time this year.

Around 22 families live in unrecognized Palestinian village of Al-Araqib, and the population has rebuilt the structures each time they have been demolished since 2010.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip warned that the medicine shortage threatens the lives of more than 9,000 cancer patients in the besieged enclave. 

The Director General of Turkish Friendship Hospital and Gaza Cancer Center Dr. Sobhi Skik told a press conference hosted by the ministry that "Cancer patients suffer from a lack of diagnostic and treatment capabilities, with the increasing number of cases of cancer patients among the residents of the Strip."

Skaik added, "There are currently more than 9,000 cancer patients in the Gaza Strip," pointing out that the incidence of cancer is 93.1% among every 100,000 citizens, while this rate was 60% in 2000.

He stated that the statistics of the World Health Organization talk about an increase in the current rate of tumors, which amounts to 93.1% among every 100,000 citizens, to double in the year 2040, pointing to the high death rate among cancer patients to 12.5%.

Skaik stressed that cancer patients suffer from a severe shortage of medicine, the lack of radiotherapy, the lack of nuclear medicine capabilities to diagnose cancer patients, and the lack of some important analyzes to diagnose it. .

Skaik called on the free people of the world and the concerned parties to intervene urgently to save the lives of cancer patients in the Gaza Strip.

In turn, the Director General of Pharmacy at the Ministry of Health, Ashraf Abu Mahadi, explained during the conference that 45% of the medicines needed for oncology patients were not available during the past 6 months, which led to the patients not receiving the necessary treatment protocol for them.

Abu Mahadi emphasized the importance of therapeutic medicines provided to patients, especially cancer patients, stressing that the lack of medicine negatively affects the provision of service to patients.

And he indicated that oncology patients follow an integrated treatment regimen of several medications that complement each other, and when one of them is missing, the required treatment for the patient is not complete, indicating that more than half of the patients did not receive the integrated treatment service.

Abu Mahadi stated that the health system in the Gaza Strip is under great stress in light of the unavailability of medicines and the patients' continuous efforts to obtain the missing treatment, without finding any suitable solution.

He called on all institutions, companies and donors to provide the necessary and adequate treatment protocol for oncology patients, in particular, in order to prevent the worsening of the patients' health condition and a relapse for them.

For his part, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qidra, said during the conference, "More than 40% of the medical referrals granted to cancer patients are rejected by the occupation, which doubles the patients' pain and causes the death of a number of them."

Al-Qudra pointed out that the occupation’s continuous siege on the Strip for the 17th year in a row aims to undermine the health and humanitarian services system in the Gaza Strip, which caused the death of patients due to the lack of medicines and the unjust siege measures that the occupation is carrying out against patients and the Palestinian people.

Today, Monday, the Israeli occupation forces arrested a young man during their raid into the town of Anata, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.

According to local sources, these forces stormed the village and arrested the young man, Yazan Hamid al-Salwadi, after raiding and searching his house.

On Monday, Jerusalemites poured oil at the entrance to the Al-Dar Mall building on Salah El-Din Street in occupied Jerusalem, and closed shops, in protest at the invitation of the extremist mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Lion, to the place.

Many merchants and a group of activists and Jerusalemites gathered in the mall to protest the mayor's call to open high-tech offices on one of the floors of the building.

Under the protection of the occupation police, Leon arrived in the area and opened the place.

It called on national and popular activities to boycott the owner of the new offices, prevent dealing with him, and strip him of any national tasks he occupied in the name of the national and Islamic forces.

And she said in a statement: "We call on our people in the city of Jerusalem and outside it not to deal with him, and he should be treated as everyone who sold himself to the occupation and its Judaizing and settlement projects.

And it considered what is happening as a disastrous normalization work that has political dimensions targeting Jerusalem and its Arab identity, and express recognition and legitimization of the occupation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared, Monday morning, at his government's weekly session, two days after he suffered from a health problem that sparked controversy in Israeli circles about the reality of his health condition.

Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly meeting of his government, that he is fine and feels that he is in a very wonderful situation.

He added, “I would like to thank the many citizens and leaders around the world and also across the political spectrum in Israel for their concern and kind words, thank you all, I feel great.” He said.

Netanyahu touched on the internal political situation, warning of the danger of continuing to suspend the presence of officers and reservists for military service, considering that these steps aim to intimidate the public and are steps divorced from reality, defending his government's continuation of what is known as "judicial reforms."

Netanyahu said, "In any democratic country, the army is subject to the government - not the other way around."

On Monday, a woman was injured after a group of settlers attacked farmers in the town of Husan, west of Bethlehem.

The injured woman received field treatment by medical staff.

Settlers destroyed agricultural crops east of Yatta, south of Hebron, and grazed their livestock on the citizens’ lands, under the protection of the occupation forces.

According to local sources, a group of "Hafat Ma'on" settlers perched on the citizens' lands released their sheep into the agricultural crops in the villages of Maghayer Al-Abeed and Al-Tuba, which caused damage to the wheat and barley crops, which extend over approximately 10 dunums.

The settlers seized a water well owned by Issa Ali Awad in the village of Al-Tuba, and set up a tent near the citizens' homes by force of arms.

In a visit, the first of its kind in ten years, the Palestinian President left his station in the Muqataa in Ramallah and arrived on board a Jordanian helicopter, to the Jenin camp to check on its conditions after the brutal Israeli aggression against it at the beginning of this month.

President Abu Mazen's visit to the Jenin camp and the city came after a ten-year hiatus, when he went there to support the camp's residents who committed suicide for the many times after they arrived in this camp in 1953 immediately after a short period of the Nakba, and ambiguity prevails in political circles as to what the continuation of Security coordination, or lack of it, after Israel almost completely destroyed the Jenin camp and evacuated thousands of its residents to nearby areas.

Some Arab countries had decided to send financial support to rebuild the camp and its residents, as this will be done only through the Palestinian Authority and not with direct support for the camp or the city, as money will be sent to the Authority and the Authority will carry out the reconstruction operations.

It is not certain how much of these sums of money can be sent to the Palestinian Authority, but the fierce Israeli policy that is being waged against the Palestinian people, especially against the Palestinian Authority, which is not in the best condition these days, therefore aims to accelerate the collapse of the Palestinian Authority and cause complete chaos in The Occupied Palestinian Territories that remained not under direct Palestinian control, such as Area A and B. Area C, Israel is working hard to change its features, as it confiscates lands and demolishes homes, allows Jews to buy lands and build settlements, and at the same time prevents Palestinians from any new construction operations in this area and supervises them in Lots of cases doing intense demolitions.

Israel has imposed security coordination on the Palestinian Authority, the extent of its efficacy or effectiveness we do not know exactly, but in the end it benefits the Israeli side greatly on the media and propaganda level. When Israel carries out offensive or aggressive operations against the Jenin-Nablus camp or Tulkarem, it gives the impression It informs the Palestinian side of its intentions.

But this Palestinian side is powerless and cannot prevent or mitigate any attack.

In one of the interviews with the journalist or former minister, Ziyad Abu Ziyad, who was responsible for the Jerusalem file, he said in Hebrew, and in an interview with a local media, that Israel completely abandoned its commitments to the Oslo Accords at the end of 1999 and twenty years ago, and it continues its policy of not Coordination with the Palestinian Authority, but rather in defeating the Palestinian presence in Area C and establishing many settlements, so that their number has increased today to five hundred thousand settlers in these occupied areas after reaching 200,000 settlers in 2000, an increase of 300,000 settlers in the last twenty years.

The policy of the new far-right government of the Netanyahu government, in the next five years, aims to increase the estimated number of 200,000 new settlers, bringing the total number to 750,000 settlers under this new government.

The Israeli government is conducting a violent policy of apartheid settlements and ghettos.

It is based on the Paris Agreements that were signed in 1994. The agreement was signed as part of the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and it is the name used for the economic protocol attached to the Gaza-Jericho Agreement, signed between Israel and representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The agreement was signed on April 29, 1994, and then the protocol became part of the Oslo 2 Agreement (the agreement for the transitional phase for the West Bank and Gaza Strip), which was signed on September 24 and 28, 1995.

Where the protocol specifies that the Israeli currency (the new Israeli shekel) is the currency used in the Palestinian territories as the trading currency that is used there as the currency of exchange and payments for all purposes and its acceptance by the Palestinian Authority and all institutions, local authorities and banks. The Palestinians are not allowed to create a separate Palestinian currency.

As for exports and imports to a third country, including the determination of quantities, it is subject to Israeli control, and the protocol gave Israel control over the external borders and the collection of import and value-added taxes. According to the agreement, Palestinian trade with other countries will continue to pass through Israeli sea and air ports, or Through the border crossings between the Palestinian Authority, Jordan and Egypt, which are also controlled by Israel. Although Egypt controls the Rafah border crossing, the Israeli blockade of Gaza continues.

It can be said that the signing of the Paris Agreement, which was an appendix to the Oslo Agreement, kept the occupation in its harsh form against the Palestinians, so that Israel did not fulfill its promises since 1999, but kept the Paris Agreement in which it controls the movements of the Palestinian economy and deducts taxes and value-added tax from it.

According to expert estimates, Israel earns about $9 billion annually from the movements of the Palestinian economy in the West Bank and Gaza, and returns to the Authority an amount of $2.7 billion, which is called the added value in which the Palestinian Authority manages its affairs, which is called clearing funds.

Israel is not satisfied with that, but it has begun to deduct, on an annual basis, large sums of money from the funds of the Authority returned to it, under the pretext of its demand to “stop the Palestinian side in legal cases and political moves in international forums, stop paying allowances for prisoners and families of martyrs, change teaching curricula that Israel considers incitement, stop incitement to Israel in the media and stop illegal construction in Area C.

As for the Palestinian Authority, which sees what is happening in the huge areas in the West Bank and allocating them for settlements and settlements and hastening to confiscate hundreds of thousands of dunams and deduct large amounts of their allocations, it has become difficult to cooperate with this extremist government whose financial leadership is headed by settler Smotrich and Ben Gvir. What is certain is that the situation is accelerating more and more towards collapse.

This year, the Israeli government confiscated approximately 287 million shekels from the Palestinian Authority's funds due to its support for the families of prisoners and martyrs and for the reconstruction, as it will do in the Jenin camp.

Therefore, it has become certain that the crisis is real and will lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, which is not desirable internationally, especially by Europe and the United States. Hence, Netanyahu sought to propose a plan full of subterfuge and lack of credibility, which claims that he will try to save the Palestinian basket from collapse.

If we examine this plan, we see that it is conditional, as it will establish industrial zones near Tarqumiya and Hebron, with the aim of absolute control over the Palestinian economy, but its allies also stipulate an increase in settlements in the areas of Jerusalem and deepening it in Area C.

We will see how the Palestinian response to this will be and what are the repercussions of that on the Netanyahu government itself with regional and international influences, as these matters are accelerating very quickly, and we will see how this will affect the deteriorating relationship between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.

The ultimate goal of the judicial upheaval led by the Netanyahu government is to create Israel's ability to annex occupied territories without granting Palestinians civil, political, and human rights. The main forces for this are of course those who are called "religious Zionists" and are at the heart of the Israeli settlement movement. Their distorted interpretation of Judaism provides them with the justification for destroying the liberal democracy they wish to replace with their own version of Jewish religious law. For these distorted minds, their interpretation of the word of God that they created is that the Old Testament is an earthly work of the land of Israel and the word of God to the prophet Joshua to destroy and eliminate the inhabitants of the land who were here before the conquest of the land, refers to the other original inhabitants of this land - the Palestinian people.

As I wrote last week, this distortion of the worldview has won. They have won, at least for now. If they continue to succeed, it will be the end of the vision shared by most Israelis of a liberal democratic Jewish state. Seventy-five years of history has proven that Israel has never been and never could be a liberal democratic Jewish state because it is built on the idea of ​​Jewish sovereignty in a reality where more than 20% of the citizens are Palestinian Arabs. Most of the people who live here are Palestinian Arabs. Israel may have been a liberal democracy for most Jews, but it was not for most Palestinian Arabs - citizens of Israel or those living under Israeli occupation.

There was a lot of pushback last week when I declared that the two-state solution might be dead. Anyone familiar with the reality on the ground in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem can easily see that there is probably no possibility for a sovereign Palestinian state to exist. Besides the vast land grab and military control everywhere, there is a small area that can be a sovereign Palestinian state.

The occupation's blatant oppression continues to underpin Palestinian hatred and hostility toward Israelis, which will take generations of building peace and trust to enable a peaceful two-state solution. It is the oppression of the Palestinians that leads directly to Palestinian violence against Israel today. But even those who are aware of this assert that there is no other solution and that the two-state solution is the best solution. This may be the best solution, but I challenge them to tell us how this is possible. Even in the best of circumstances during the Olmert-Abbas negotiations, Israel's annexation of 4-5% of the West Bank with a 1:1 land swap with the Palestinians would enable about 80% of Israeli settlers to fall under Israeli sovereignty without leaving their homes. But 20% will remain within the territory of the Palestinian state, and these are the more hardline ideological settlers—the same people who drive the judicial turmoil forward. They will not leave their homes and will not agree to live in a Palestinian state. Their life mission was to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. They also represent those who use violence in massacres of Palestinians and those who are likely to take up arms against the Israeli soldiers and police who might be sent to remove them from their homes.

Why do we need a Jewish state? So that we can express our identity within a territory that we control. What is this identity? Is it the Haredi onslaught that quickly took over the Kiryat Haovel neighborhood of Jerusalem where I have lived for the past 32 years? Or is it the Jewish identity of multicultural Tel Aviv? Who controls the formation of the identity we want to preserve? Is the current Minister of Education with the tendencies of a ministry where increasing religiosity enters the curricula of secular Jewish schools in Israel? Is this the same ministry that has always prevented Palestinian citizens from learning about their identity, their own narrative, and their literature? What democratic Jewish state do we want? Many people have told me that we need a Jewish state because of the Holocaust. A non-Jewish European ambassador said that we need a Jewish state because there are peoples who seek to destroy the State of Israel and the Jewish people. I understand their fears and I know the trauma of the Jewish people, but these reasons may justify why the creation of Israel was a moral imperative after the Holocaust but they do not justify what Israel has become and how Israel treats the Palestinian people. Resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the way forward, not nuclear bombs and periodic military operations aimed at winning votes and testing new military technologies that Israeli military industries can sell as "field-tested" weapons.

The view of Israel and the global Jewish world regarding anti-Semitism is a falsely concocted reality. I do not deny the existence of anti-Semitism. I am saying that being anti-Israel, or anti-Israel policies regarding Palestine, or even supporting BDS is not always anti-Semitic. In fact, most of the time it is not. But we have been manipulated by the same people who are currently shaping our reality and who intend to turn Israel into a completely undemocratic state. Their success now would officially move Israel from a new form of apartheid state to a reality of full apartheid. Not only will Israel be a pariah state from the world's point of view, it will be a pariah state and perhaps half of Israel will not want to join it.

The current struggle for the soul of Israel must look deeply in the mirror and understand that what we are fighting for is not just preventing the appointment of political judges to the Supreme Court, or preventing corrupt leaders from appointing whomever they want, qualified or not. It is about being truly able to be a true liberal democracy for the first time. It is finally about making a decision about the relations between Israeli Jews and Israeli Palestinians and about how we can live in peace with our Palestinian neighbors. It is about demanding the abolition of the Jewish nation-state law and the adoption of a constitutional law of equality for all citizens. If you want to protect our liberal democracy, Israel must be a state of all its citizens where every citizen and every group of citizens has the same rights - including the right to express and promote their separate identity.
