The wife of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was transferred to the Istishari Hospital in Ramallah on Tuesday evening. 

Israeli occupation forces detained three Palestinian men as they passed through checkpoints in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. 

The director of the Captive Club in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, stated that occupation forces arrested 20-year-old Islam 'Atef Zayed Bani Odeh from the town of Tamoun as he passed through the Hawara checkpoint, while his brother Miqdad, was also detained and is being held at the checkpoint.

In the same context, the Israeli occupation forces arrested the young man, Osama Nasser Salah, the brother of the two Palestinian martyrs, while he was passing through the Al-Jit military checkpoint near Qalqilya.

Seven Palestinian factions, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, condemned the wave of "political" arrests against political leaders, activists and ex-prisoners by the Palestinian Authority across the occupied West Bank.

The factions panned the "serious violation of law" and called on the Palestinian Authority to "immediately stop practicing this policy" and to "immediately release all political detainees."

The joint statement added that the Palestinian Authority's actions "do not contribute to creating a positive atmosphere ahead of the call to hold a meeting of the general secretaries to achieve national unity in the face of the project to annex the West Bank and judaize Jerusalem."

Washington – U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller evaded a question about whether the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against Israeli aggression. "The situation cannot be compared to what is happening in Ukraine," he told Al-Quds' correspondent. 

The question came after Miller noted that 500 days had passed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and that the Ukrainians faced this invasion and occupation "with courage." 

Saeed Erekat, Al-Quds' correspondent in Washington, told Miller that 20,475 days have passed since Israel's "very brutal occupation" of Palestinian territory began.  

Erekat continued: "Unlike the Ukrainians, the Palestinians are not given the right to self-defense...They are confronted with Apache helicopters, weapons supplied by the United States...Do you think the Palestinian people in Jenin have the right to defend themselves?"

Miller immediately dismissed the comparison to Ukraine and refused to answer the self-defense question directly.

"The United States does not believe that these two cases are similar," Miller said in his response. 

However, he was willing to assert that Israel's right to defend itself: "We support Israel's security and right to defend itself against Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups. At the same time, it is necessary to take all possible steps to protect civilians from harm and facilitate humanitarian supplies and reconstruction for the residents of Jenin, such as restoring water and electricity services."

Seventy nine demonstrators were detained on Tuesday in mass demonstrators against the plan to weaken the judicial system, led by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to the Hebrew news site Ynet, people were arrested in the "day of disruption" in clashes with police. 

For more that six months, Israelis have held weekly protests against the legislative package that will dramatically shift the balance of power in the country toward the executive. 

The rare midweek protest was sparked by the first vote on cancelling the so-called "reasonableness standard" that allows judges to act as a backstop against certain government decisions. 

The rallies across the country drew tens of thousands of people, including thousands who were able to reach Ben-Gurion International Airport and disrupt the entrance and exit of passengers.

The police, on their part, have responded much more violently to the latest wave of protests, with social media flooded with clips of violent manhandling and even physical attacks.

Calls increased to find a solution to the widening conflict in Sudan with the approaching completion of its third month, while Human Rights Watch called on Tuesday the International Court of Justice to investigate "war crimes" committed in the Darfur region.

The Quartet of the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development in East Africa (IGAD) had called on the two parties to the conflict to conclude an "unconditional" ceasefire agreement, after the failure of several similar attempts over the past months.

The army boycotted the meeting, which was hosted by Addis Ababa, and reiterated its demand that Kenya be removed from the presidency of the committee, accusing it of "lack of neutrality" in the conflict.

Since its outbreak on April 15, battles have continued between the army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, with no prospect of calm. Experts believe that the two former allies chose to proceed with a war of attrition that would only stop with a military victory for one of them at the expense of the other, although no party has achieved significant gains since the start of the war that change the field data.

The US ambassador to Khartoum, John Godfrey, warned that "a military victory for either of the two conflicting parties ... will cause unacceptable human costs and damage to the country."

The diplomat, who left the Sudanese capital with the start of the fighting, like most foreigners, said in a statement that it was necessary to "reach a negotiated way out of the crisis."

He stressed that this cannot mean a return to "the status quo that existed before April 15," when Al-Burhan and Daglo seized the reins of power after overthrowing civilians in a military coup.

Godfrey's remarks came ahead of meetings expected to be held by US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, with Sudanese and regional officials.

These meetings come the day after a meeting held by the Quartet, consisting of Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and South Sudan, to which the two parties to the conflict called. The army boycotted the meeting because of its failure to meet its demand to remove Kenya from chairing the committee, as it accuses her of supporting the Rapid Support Forces.

The IGAD committee called on the two parties to an unconditional cessation of hostilities, stressing that it would ask the African Union to discuss the possibility of deploying the East African Standby Force (ISAF) with the aim of "protecting civilians" and ensuring the arrival of aid.

In addition, Kenyan President William Ruto requested a "humanitarian zone with a diameter of 30 km around Khartoum to facilitate the arrival of humanitarian aid" needed by more than half of the country's population.

Mediation initiatives, whether from IGAD or others led by Washington and Riyadh, did not succeed in finding grounds for understanding.

And the United Nations warned at the end of last week that Sudan, one of the poorest countries in the world even before the outbreak of the current battles, is on the verge of a "comprehensive civil war" whose repercussions will affect the entire region.

The conflict has killed more than 2,800 people and forced more than 2.8 million people to flee, more than 600,000 of whom have sought refuge in neighboring countries, most notably Egypt and Chad, according to data from the International Organization for Migration.

The rest of the population, whose total number was estimated at about 45 million people before the start of the fighting, suffers from a lack of food, services and energy sources, while reports continue of cases of looting, sexual violence and the intensification of ethnic conflicts, especially in the Darfur region (west).

Over the past weeks, witnesses in Khartoum and Darfur have given horrific accounts to AFP of the abuses, accusing in particular the Support Forces and allied Arab groups of being behind them.

On Tuesday, Human Rights Watch reported that "several thousand Rapid Support fighters" and its allies attacked the town of Misteri in Darfur in late May.

In a lengthy report, she explained that they besieged the town, which has an estimated population of 46,000, using "motorcycles, horses and pick-up trucks," and opened fire on "those who tried to flee."

It quoted witnesses as saying that the attackers looted "all day long the residents' property, as they stole livestock, seeds, money, gold, phones, and furniture... After looting the houses, the attackers set them on fire."

It indicated that the attacking forces "executed at least 28 members of the Masalit ethnicity and killed and wounded dozens of civilians," one of the most prominent non-Arab ethnic groups in West Darfur.

The organization quoted witnesses as saying that the attackers "pursued people seeking safety in schools and the mosque," and "repeatedly attacked classrooms in search of men and carried out field executions against those they found."

The organization considered that "many of these violations committed in the context of the armed conflict in Sudan amount to war crimes," calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate these attacks.

"The mass killing of civilians and the complete destruction of the town of Misteri demonstrates the need for a stronger international response to the widening conflict," said Jean-Patset Gallupin, researcher at the organization.

The court is investigating grave violations committed in Darfur during a conflict that began in 2003 and spanned nearly two decades, leaving nearly 300,000 dead and 2.5 million people displaced, according to the United Nations.

The Israeli drones did not leave the skies of the Jenin camp, despite the withdrawal at dawn on Wednesday after the two-day aggression. In front of the great Israeli failure to achieve the goals of the campaign led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in liquidating the resistance, destroying its infrastructure, assassinating its leaders and every rebel fighter, and challenging the resistance and its exit. Al-Alani, after only hours with its equipment, equipment, and weapons to lead the funeral processions for the martyrs of the aggression, during which 12 martyrs were martyred, the Israeli security service "Shin Bet" officers returned to target the families of the wanted persons and young men in general in the camp, by arresting them and subjecting them to investigation and pressure to reveal the resistance fighters on the one hand, and sending messages On the other hand, in Arabic on their cell phones, some of which include threatening phrases, and others that demand cooperation and provide information, all of which are signed by the "Israeli officer", who left numbers to contact him.

The families of the resistance fighters stated to Al-Quds.com that immediately after the Israeli withdrawal, and their children escaped arrest and assassination despite the drones bombing the camp with more than 35 missiles, they received warning messages directly on their cellular devices, which included a threat to return to bomb their homes and assassinate their children, but they refused. Cooperating with them and responding to them, but in a form of defiance, the resistance fighters sent the officer a reply in which they said: "We are waiting for you, come to the camp, and we will bury you and your planes."

The resistance fighter Abu Abdullah said, in relation to the martyr leader in the Jenin Battalion, Abdullah al-Husari: "After the resistance broke their power and thwarted their aggression, they returned to using the threat method, and this is evidence of bankruptcy. Their threats will not intimidate us, and our decision is our battle is continuous and open."

He added, "The army, its leadership, and intelligence have become a mockery after the heroic camp battle. We do not fear their planes and bombardment, and we are ready to confront them, while we are in the field."

After 4 days of his arrest and interrogation, the young man, Muhammad Salem, told Al-Quds.com, after his release, that a whole team of intelligence officers had been prepared by the occupation at the operation follow-up point near the Al-Jalama checkpoint, another in Salem detention camp, and a third in a prison. Megiddo”, they detain the camp youth who were arrested from their homes during the aggression, and subject them to interrogation and threats.

He added, "They crucified me and detained me in the sun for an average of 6 hours a day, after which an interrogation session, intimidation, and threats of arrest if we did not cooperate with them in reporting our information about the resistance fighters."

Salem continued: "For two days, I was only allowed to eat once every evening, and during each investigation, the officer informed me that my detention would be long if I did not cooperate, and I told him every time, I have no information, and my arrest is arbitrary, and I will return home against your will."

Hours after his release from Megiddo prison, without charge or trial, and upon his arrival home, Muhammad received a threatening letter, the same message reached Abu Azzam from the camp, in which the intelligence officer wrote, “For your sake, and for your family’s sake, if you have information about wanted persons and weapons.” So he sent a message on the number,” and the intelligence officer left his number.

He added, "These are open methods, and they will not deceive us. They want to cover up their failure and the failure of the agents and their plans, but there will be no one in the camp to cooperate with them. How can we cooperate with the enemies of our people, the murderers of innocents and heroes?"

The position of the citizen Abu Abd al-Rahman, a freed prisoner who spent 5 years in the occupation prisons during the second intifada, did not change.

In turn, the activist Nidal Mousa said: "These are burnt, old and new methods, and they only reveal the weakness and defeat of the occupation and the intelligence and the shock they were subjected to from the recent Jenin earthquake. It is clear that they are bankrupt and want to search for any way to strike the popular incubator of the resistance, which will undoubtedly be unsuccessful ".

While the released prisoner, Jamal Abu Hatem, said: "The occupation is facing a crisis and a catastrophe after losing the battle of the camp, and it wants to search for a way to rescue it. It abused civilians and the families of the wanted, and practiced repression and failed. Will such methods pass and succeed? The answer is known even to a child."

In response to the messages, a number of activists in the camp did not hesitate to respond to them, and to send messages to the same number, including what the resistance fighter Abu Alaa wrote, "We do not cooperate, and there is no one who cooperates with us, be bold and come with us to the Jenin camp, and you will find the appropriate response for free." No one can scare us, the time for fear is over.”

The Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported that the Israeli occupation detained 130 Palestinians in its lethal raid on Jenin refugee camp. 

The commission's lawyer, Shereen Al-Iraqi, gave the figure after visiting Megiddo prison. She added that several were transferred to administrative detention and that some prisoners had been injured during the raid.

Twelve Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured in the largest Israeli operation in the West Bank since the Palestinian uprising twenty years ago. 

Today, Tuesday morning, the Israeli forces of repression stormed Section 4 of the Negev Prison, and transferred the 50 prisoners held there to the other sections, in addition to conducting extensive searches.

The Prisoner's Club stated that the prisoners of Section (4) recently carried out protests, rejecting the prison administration's delay in transferring the prisoner Raed Badwan to the prison clinic, after he suffered a deterioration in his health condition.

The Prisoner's Club pointed out that the raids are considered one of the most prominent fixed policies pursued by the occupation prison administration against the prisoners, with the aim of striking any state of "stability" and imposing more control and oversight on them, and this extends to prejudice the organizational structure that is the basis for managing the detention life of the prisoners.

It is noteworthy that the occupation prison administration escalated the abuse of prisoners during the raids, and witnessed its peak in 2019, when the most violent raids were recorded in more than ten years.

From the end of last year until the beginning of this year, many raids were recorded in several prisons, during which the repressive forces abused the prisoners, isolated their leaders, vandalized and destroyed their possessions, and confiscated many of their writings.

Israel's occupation authorities are planning to establish a large settlement to wedge between Palestinian towns in occupied East Jerusalem, Haaretz reported on Tuesday. 

According to the Israeli newspaper, 450 settlement units are set to built on 12 dunums (12,000 square metres) in between the villages of Umm Lisun and Jabal Mukaber in occupied East Jerusalem. The plan also calls for the establishment of a wall around the settlements.

Historically, settlements established in occupied East Jerusalem have come at the cost of Palestinians, either encroaching on private land or requiring the displacement of Palestinians altogether. 

The settlement of 'Givat Hashaked,' for example, was built on lands from the neighbourhoods of Shorafat and Beit Safafa, and blocks their ability to expand naturally. 

The strategy of the Ben Gvir-Smotrich government led by Netanyahu and its top priority is the annexation of most of the West Bank, isolating the main cities in disjointed cantons in the north, middle and south of the West Bank, in addition to the Gaza Strip canton, which is becoming more entrenched day after day. In order to achieve this strategy, it continues its bloody aggression against our people, their land, and their sources of life and livelihood. This government, which seeks to implement the so-called biblical law, which considers historical Palestine to be the Promised Land and the base for "Greater Israel" capable of imposing its full hegemony over the region, is trying to contain the internal objections that erupted in the face of the so-called judicial amendments, which resolve Israel's identity and reduce it to a state. theocracy. It realizes that to the extent that these amendments spark fundamental contradictions within that society about the nature of governance and the identity of the state, the permissibility of the blood of Palestinian citizens, the destruction of their homes and ways of life, the annexation of their lands and the expansion of settlements narrows the division gap within it, and it also prolongs the survival of this government and its ability to The continuation of the misinformation that the successive governments of Israel, since the Nakba, have been claiming about the so-called "democracy of the state" at a time when it arose on the usurpation of Palestine, and racial discrimination against the Palestinian minority that remained steadfast on its land.

Annexation: the title of the war against our people

From this angle, we must look at what happened in the Jenin camp, and what is happening in the old town of Nablus, and in other Palestinian cities, towns, and villages, in terms of daily killing operations carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, which aim primarily to terrorize the Palestinian people, and in a desperate attempt to subdue the ember of their stubborn resistance , and his determination to reject the occupation, and to resist his plans for annexation and liquidation in which the occupation government is racing against time to dictate it on the ground, and in fact it reminds us of the terrorist crimes carried out by the Zionist gangs to displace and expel the Palestinian people from their land on the eve of the Nakba in 1948.

It is noteworthy that, in a manner similar to black comedy, the government of the trio "Netanyahu - Smotrich - Ben Gvir" is carrying out these murders with the support of the American administration under the pretext of what is called "strengthening and empowering the Palestinian Authority" and mowing what some call "poisonous weeds" under the cover of what is known With the understandings of Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh, that is, the liquidation of the rebels against those plans, which it cannot do. All of this is done under the cloak of security coordination, which no longer has any function other than protecting the security of the occupation and settlement, and not affecting its ability to implement its plans, which no longer accept interpretation, to uproot the mere thought of ending the occupation and extracting an independent Palestinian state. Once again, this is being done in coordination with the American intelligence services, whose administration has been talking about the two-state solution as an empty slogan without practical or political content, and its sole concern is to expand the state of normalization with the Arab countries without any price, especially with regard to the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The question in people's hearts is: How can the Palestinian Authority and the dominant trend of its ruling party take a gray and ambiguous position, and even put itself in the face of the will of national steadfastness expressed by the Jenin camp, the old town of Nablus, and many other camps and sites? without realizing this dominant leadership of power; The Palestinian people, who have provided it with one opportunity after another since its inception, in order to, firstly, avoid internal conflict, and secondly, may these forces that dominate the divisive scene reverse their course and submit to the will of their people for unity and resistance. However, it has become clear that the people's patience has run out and they are convinced that the danger is clearly affecting not only the future of their ability to extract their rights, but also threatens their existence and their ability to remain in this country.

Rising up in the face of aggression

In the face of the defeat of June and the completion of the occupation of Palestine, the battle of dignity constituted a strategic turning point that enabled the Fatah movement and the Palestinian resistance factions to take the initiative to lead the march of the revolution. Also, in the face of the results of the war on Lebanon and the forces of the Liberation Organization and their evacuation from the northern front lines, the major uprising exploded. It is obvious today, and in light of this fascist aggression, that the centers of resistance in its various forms will explode, especially in the absence of a national strategy that unites the resistance in the service of national goals. What is new this time is that these centers of resistance are emerging from the rubble of division and the state of collapse or near collapse that characterizes the national movement, and in light of the authority’s adherence to its security commitments that put it or almost in confrontation with its people, and at the expense of the popular incubator that was launched since the Battle of Dignity and the steadfastness of Beirut. And the great uprising. Also, in light of the Hamas movement's efforts to conclude the so-called long-term truce that perpetuates the separation and isolates Gaza from its historical role as a lever for the national movement and the preservation of the unified identity of our people.

Tragedy Repeated: A Black Comedy

Is history preparing itself for this black comedy that the Palestinian people paid for with their blood, sacrifices and land? Will the national movement led by "Fatah al-Karama" remain locked in its crisis to mourn its march, sacrificing the march and sacrifices of tens of thousands of martyrs, on the altar of the illusion of peace and the mirage of the divisive conflict over "alleged legitimacy" with the Hamas movement, which constitutes the other tragic aspect of the concept of governance and power under the spears of occupation and the armistice? Long-term the other side of security coordination and both are free.

People's impatience

The popular reactions that followed the battle of Jenin camp are like the last bell and the red light that should ignite the senses and responsibility of everyone, regardless of their circumstances, and perhaps their departure from the traditions of our people, especially during the funerals of the martyrs, but it reflects the impatience of the people, and the extent of their need to review the process of erosion. And the reasons for the isolation experienced by the national movement and its main forces, and the entire dilapidated political system.

The final test: the government of unity and steadfastness

The last test is what will result from the possible meeting of the secretaries-general, which Egypt announced its hosting at the end of this month, especially in terms of the extent of the ability to come out of such a meeting with a unified national position that cuts with the causes of collapse and disintegration, and leads to a national road map that embodies the need of the Palestinian people And the status of his national cause to end the division immediately, and to announce the formation of the transitional government of "unity, steadfastness and national salvation", which must include everyone and put them before their responsibilities, which means stopping separatist loose ends in Gaza, and the threats of the stick and security solutions in the West Bank, and the dangers they warn of. An almost existential strategy, restoring the position of the inclusive national institutions at the level of the organization and authority as a prelude to restoring the trust and constitutional rights of the people, enabling them without equivocation or manipulation to elect their national leadership within the framework of the Unified Liberation Organization and restore its frontal character as the only legitimate representative of our people and the leader of its liberation struggle, and rebuilding a function And the role of the National Authority according to the priority of steadfastness and the ability to survive and face the imminent dangers. This is the practical test away from the media consumption and waste of time. As for continuing to prevaricate and failed bets, abandoning the requirements of national responsibility, and the struggle over the legitimacy of representation under the wreckage of what was left behind by the devastating division, it no longer deceives anyone and is gradually being uttered by the people. This time has passed, the overwhelming majority have realized their way to freedom.

The name of the aggressive operation launched by the entity state on July 2, 2023 against Jenin and its camp, the stronghold of the Palestinian resistance, is "House and Garden". This name was chosen accurately and not absurdly, according to the new theory of aggression applied by the entity state, "limited combat days." Instead of a battle between two wars...the name means that all the Palestinian lands are a biblical Talmudic land that the citizens of the entity state have the right to roam, hike, dance and sing in freely "Saddah Maddah", as if it does not belong to the people of the owner of this land by land, sea and air..... the invaders They chose this name and said that their forces go out on combat days to any arena that poses a threat to its existence, its army, and its settlers... days that they determine its ceiling in terms of time and space, so that matters are under control, by preventing the expansion of the battle beyond the specified place and not to procrastinate in time for a longer period, so as not to Things exploded in a wider way, bringing in the intervention of other arenas... In light of the estranged regional and internal changes, the entity's government and army were looking for a field victory to compensate for their strategic failure, under the illusion that the Jenin camp, which did not kneel, neither in what was known as the Defensive Wall / 2002 operation, nor in any other operation Known as the Breaking Waves, February 2022. Perhaps this time, in light of a weak, fragmented, and non-unified Palestinian situation, the collapse of the official Arab system, American and British support, and the world’s preoccupation with the Ukrainian war, it may provide an opportunity to defeat the resistance in Jenin and its camp..using a very huge military force in display Unprecedented muscle.... Where a camp does not exceed an area of ​​half a square kilometer, it mobilizes more than a thousand soldiers, a hundred and fifty armored vehicles and machinery, and elite forces from Maghlan, Iguz, Al-Daffan, Al-Yasam, Al-Yamam, and others, not to mention the drones, helicopters, warfare, and the latest means of technology and espionage ... ..

This broad display of muscle was intended to suggest to the settlers and to the public of the entity-state that the Palestinian resistance exists in one city and one camp and can be liquidated in one blow... We realize that it is different from this media goal to raise the morale of the settlers, and the security, political and settlement objectives of this military operation. That it has goals to save Netanyahu and his government from the internal dilemma in light of the demonstrations that continue and expand for the twenty-seventh week, against the backdrop of the explosion of the amendment of judicial legislation to the deep crisis of the entity state that extends to November 1995. The entity around the identity of the state, takes the ideological and cultural aspects..

This "invasion" with these huge forces... could not break into 1/3 of the camp, and the Palestinian resistance met it in every alley and street in the camp with intense and dense resistance, using ambushes, side bombs and large firepower, in an expression of the period of development and expansion of the Palestinian resistance's military capabilities And the armament and industrialization, despite all the siege, and its maneuvering and tactics capabilities.... Resistance said that the camp of the martyrs, prisoners, and the wounded, and there is no room for mentioning the names, the camp and city of the heroes of Operation "Freedom Tunnel" September 2021, will not fall and will not raise the white flag, there are men who breastfed milk The lions, and they have determination and will, and they are not trembling or terrified, and they do not beg for the protection of those who are the enemies of our people and the partners of the entity’s state in the aggression against our people and their resistance, and they are not looking for special interests, they are looking for a homeland and a return to a land that has been displaced and expelled from it...

The army of the entity used all its brutality and barbarism in destroying the streets of the camp, razing its land, and expelling, displacing, and abandoning, in the widest process of ethnic cleansing, 3,000 citizens of the camp's residents in "Prova" for what is coming in new battles that will be waged against our people, where expulsion, uprooting, and displacement will take place on a broader and more comprehensive basis. ...these displaced and forcibly expelled from the camp, and the enemy wanted to sever the relationship between them, they and the rest of the camp's residents with the Palestinian resistance as an incubating environment for it...they said with one voice, our homes are the sacrifice of the resistance...perhaps the message left by the owners and residents of one of the houses whose residents were forced To evacuate it, to the heroes of the resistance, that we left you with sufficient supplies and a sum of cash, and the house is at your disposal, I sacrifice it for you, and I do not regret its bricks and stones, expresses the depth of the connection and relationship between the popular incubator and the resistance.

The entity, as usual, said and will say that it has achieved the desired objectives of this operation, as is the case in previous operations in Gaza, Nablus, Jenin, and other cities and governorates of the homeland... These objectives do not exceed residential buildings, infrastructure, health and medical centers, hospitals, schools, and defenseless civilians who are supposed to be provided with security and protection. In international and humanitarian law, if there is such a law, but there are those who deliberately stand by the entity’s state and protect it from any decision or international punishment that may be taken or imposed on it for its rude and shameless violation of international law, and keep it as a state above the law, and describe its killing of innocent citizens, destruction and sabotage, It is the "right to self-defense"..Despite all this exposure of the partnership between this colonial state, led by America, the collapsing Arab official system and colonial Britain, there are Palestinians who still bet on the West and adhere to the illusion of the so-called two-state solution and live in a political coma An unprecedented disconnect from reality.

Yes, Jenin and the Jenin battalion, along with all the resistance factions and factions, and the popular incubator, and with it all the masses and free people of our people along the breadth and areas of the homeland, have triumphed over this aggression and thwarted all plans to bring Jenin and its camp and its resistance to heel... And the entity has reproduced the failure of its restoration of the deterrent force in a more comprehensive and broad manner, and Jenin and its camp will produce Its deterrence formula, as it was produced by Gaza combined with its factions, and by the Islamic Jihad movement alone... Jenin and its camp send a message to all the defeated and deserted, that whoever possesses the will and challenge is capable of creating steadfastness and victory... The state of the entity in the coming days will work according to my theory of "security actions behind the lines" The enemy has days of fighting on the lines to compensate for the failure in the foreign regional and internal conditions, and the entire resistance axis must prevent it from achieving its goals... Inevitably, it will choose the arenas that it will harass, and the West Bank with its cities, Gaza, and perhaps Lebanon will be an arena for these harassing operations, but it seems that the era of Its rapid victories and the transfer of the battle to the land of the "enemy" are over, and it is entering a stage of defeats and an existential threat.

On Monday, the US Department of Justice announced charges including secret political lobbying and arms trafficking against an American-Israeli analyst who had previously accused US President Joe Biden's son of corruption.

A statement from the Department of Justice said that federal prosecutors in New York charged Gal Loft, who heads a think tank outside the US capital, with engaging in "multiple and serious criminal schemes."

Luft had previously alleged that President Biden's family was involved in corruption, prompting Republican politicians to view the charges against him as an attempt to intimidate a key witness.

According to the prosecution, Luft "violated US foreign agent registration laws in an effort to promote Chinese policies by working through a former high-ranking US government official."

In addition, Luft "was a broker in dangerous arms deals and Iranian oil (...) and told numerous lies to law enforcement agencies to cover up his crimes," according to the statement.

The prosecution stated that Loft was arrested in February in Cyprus on US charges, before he managed to escape after being released on bail pending extradition procedures. He is still at large and the Ministry of Justice is requesting information on his whereabouts.

In a video released by the New York Post last week, Luft said that in 2019 he provided evidence to US Justice Department and FBI officials regarding what he alleged were the Biden family's financial dealings with the CFFC.

Republican Senator Ron Johnson accused the US government of a cover-up.

Johnson told Fox News recently that Luft "has a wealth of information. But they never followed up on it," adding, "Instead they arrested him in Cyprus to silence him."

And as Biden intensified his efforts to be re-elected as president for a second term in 2024, Republicans in Congress accused his family in May of collecting more than $ 10 million from dealings with Chinese and Romanian companies, despite the weak evidence they presented.

These accusations are part of an old campaign to target Hunter Biden, the president's son from his first marriage.

Republicans accuse Hunter Biden of exploiting his father's influence when he was deputy to Barack Obama in order to strike deals in many countries.

What is remarkable is that the field unity between all the national and Islamic action factions is embodied daily in confronting the occupation forces and herds of settlers in clear coordination and work side by side, which is supported by the masses of our people, who represented the popular incubator for this field unit, which was embodied in defending the resistance fighters in Jenin And its camp, Nablus, Tulkarem camp, and many camps, towns and villages, especially the popular resistance, which is on its way to expand to include all parts of the occupied land in light of the settlement expansion and the attacks of herds of settlers who wreaked havoc on the land and with the protection of the occupation forces, and even with their participation in many cases and by encouraging these herds to commit Abominations.

While the political and geographical unity is still in its state of fragmentation and partisan and personal interests prevail over the supreme national interest, although the Palestinian issue is going through its most difficult and delicate stages as a result of the attempts of the occupying state and settlers to resolve the conflict in its favor through the use of brute military force in the belief that such a force can achieve The desired goal or goals are taking advantage of the internal Palestinian situation, which only pleases the enemies, but it is unlikely that you will succeed in that as long as our people stand firm on their land and confront the occupation forces and herds of settlers with bare chests except from faith and insistence on the departure of the occupation through the willingness to make more sacrifices for the sake of Achieving this goal, which everyone must unite around, especially since most countries of the world reject this occupation, and if they do not take practical steps to force the occupier to leave the Palestinian land, this refusal can be employed and exploited in the course of the Palestinian national struggle on the path to defeating and expelling the occupation.

The time has come for political leaders to rise to the level of field unity embodied and embodied by our people and their vanguard of youth who believe in their national cause and are keen to achieve their goals and dreams of leaving the occupation.

Will the political leaders take their role, achieve political and geographical unity, and develop a unified program of action to face the challenges and strengthen the steadfastness of our people on their land to continue confronting the attacks of the occupation forces and the rising herds of settlers, which aim to politicize them and work to deport them from their land, or will they remain as they are of fragmentation and the primacy of personal interests over Supreme National?

Tomorrow is close to his watch, and the meeting called for by President Abbas in Cairo for the secretaries-general of the factions is the one that will resolve matters, and that if the situation remains as it is now, these leaders will bear responsibility for it, and that history will not be merciful to anyone, and that our people will also hold accountable everyone who fails to act under his command. Various pretexts. Serious and realistic work is the way to salvation, not wagers on this and that, and what scratched your skin like your nail.

Let these political leaders rise to the level of field unity to achieve more achievements on the road to defeating the occupation.

Today, Tuesday, the prisoners in Ofer Prison decided to take protest steps against the prison administration's measures.

According to the Prisoners’ Club, among the steps are closing the departments and announcing the dissolution of the regulatory bodies today as a preliminary step, in protest against the daily inspections, the procrastination in delaying the entry of the prisoners’ families during the visit, the great shortage of clothes, and the daily penalties against them.

The club pointed to the state of overcrowding inside the sections (the crossing), with the increase in the number of new detainees, and the failure to provide them with basic needs.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will visit the West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday, the spokesperson for the presidency said. 

The purpose of the visit is for Abbas to "see the conditions of the citizens, and the progress of work in the reconstruction of the [refugee] camp and the city after the recent Israeli aggression," Nabil Abu Rudeineh said. 

The statement on Tuesday morning added that Abbas will meet with Palestinian representatives in the city. 

The Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad movement, Ziyad al-Nakhala, threatened to boycott the planned meeting of the Palestinian leadership in the Egyptian capital of Cairo at the end of July over the Palestinian Authority's arrest campaign in the West Bank. 

In a press briefing in Beirut, Al-Nakhala slammed the wave of detentions by the Palestinian Authority against Islamic Jihad activists, and said that the move has condemned the confab of secretary-generals of different Palestinian factions "to failure."

The United Nations mechanism to bring vital humanitarian aid across borders to millions of people in Syria ended Monday, after the Security Council failed to reach a vote to extend it at this stage.

The 15 members of the Security Council have been trying for days to find an understanding to extend this mechanism that allows the United Nations to deliver humanitarian aid to residents of opposition-held areas in northwestern Syria without obtaining the approval of the Syrian government.

The British Presidency of the Security Council told AFP on Monday evening that the vote, which was scheduled for Friday, was postponed to Monday and was postponed again to Tuesday morning.

Since humanitarian convoys do not cross borders at night, the operations ended Monday amid uncertainty.

And with the time difference, even if the vote is positive on Tuesday morning in New York, operations on the ground cannot resume on Tuesday morning.

Earlier Monday evening, the British ambassador to the United Nations, Barbara Woodward, who holds the Security Council presidency for the month of July, said "the key is to find an understanding".

"We want to do everything we can for the sake of the 4.1 million Syrians who are in dire need of assistance," the diplomat added.

A few days ago, Woodward denounced the use of humanitarian aid as a "bargaining chip", in an accusation targeting Russia without naming it.

The mechanism, established in 2014, allows the United Nations to deliver humanitarian aid to residents of opposition-held areas in northwestern Syria without obtaining the approval of the Syrian government, which for its part denounces this mechanism and considers it a violation of its sovereignty.

Initially, the mechanism included four border crossing points, but after years of pressure, especially from Moscow, the ally of the Syrian regime, only the Bab al-Hawa crossing remained operational, and its use period was reduced to six months, subject to renewal, which complicates planning for humanitarian activities.

According to several diplomatic sources, the decision prepared by Switzerland and Brazil, the two countries in charge of the file, provides for the renewal of the mandate for a year, as demanded by humanitarian workers.

However, Russia, which refused to extend the mandate for a year in July 2022, still insists on extending it for only six months, according to the same sources.

Switzerland and Brazil have now put forward a nine-month proposal, a diplomatic source told AFP.

And last week, UN Humanitarian Affairs Chief Martin Griffiths renewed his call to open as many crossing points as possible for at least a year.

"It is unbearable for the people of the northwest and the brave souls who come to their aid to go through these ups and downs every six months," Griffiths said, noting that aid agencies are forced each time to pre-position aid inside Syria in case the mandate is not extended.

The United Nations says that four million people in northwestern Syria, most of them women and children, need humanitarian assistance to continue after years of conflict, economic crises, disease outbreaks and increasing poverty exacerbated by the devastating February earthquake.

Although the UN mechanism has expired, at least temporarily, there are two open crossings, although they are less used as a matter of whimsy.

After the earthquake, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad allowed two more border crossings to open, but his mandate expires in mid-August.

Martin Griffiths said after his meeting with President al-Assad in Damascus at the end of June, "I have high hopes for the renewal to continue, and I see no reason to prevent that."

Since the February 6 earthquake, more than 3,700 UN aid trucks have passed through the three crossings, according to the UN. Most of them passed through the Bab al-Hawa crossing, including 79 on Mondays.

Israeli troops who the army acknowledged had violated its own guidelines, costing the lives of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in their 2021 military operation, got away with a reprimand, according to Haaretz on Tuesday.

Five military officers, whose names were barred from publications, violated IDF guidelines in "attacking military targets," the newspaper found. In one of the three cases in question, nine Palestinians were killed, including six civilians.

The army's investigation, however, concluded that there was no direct link between the contraventions and the deaths, which claimed the lives of a baby, a 17-year-old girl, and three women, according to the Israeli newspaper.

The incident took place on May 13, 2021, when the an artillery strike was launched in order to wrong-foot Hamas ahead of the destruction of tunnel network in the northern Gaza Strip. The investigation concluded that around 500 shells were mistakenly fired at the Bedouin area of Beit Lahiya, killing members of the Abu Fares and Ayyash families.

At the time, Haaretz called for an investigation into the incident. More than two years later, an IDF spokesperson said that a commanding officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel had been reprimanded, and that action would be taken against a reserve officer.

The Israeli military spokesman refused to disclose the details of the investigation in the other two cases, but stated that three officers were either subjected to disciplinary measures or reprimanded. 

Demonstrations and protests spread, on Tuesday morning, to separate areas of "Israel", amid the closure of main streets, after parties opposing what is known as "judicial reforms" called for these demonstrations, in protest against the continuation of the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in moving forward with this " Reforms".

It is expected that this evening will be a central demonstration in Tel Aviv, while the coming hours will witness protests near Lod Airport, "Ben Gurion", and an attempt to disrupt flights from it. As reported by the Israeli Arabic-speaking Makan Radio.

Since last night, the Israeli police began deploying its forces in separate areas, in preparation for dealing with the possibility of attempting to harm any Israeli public figure.

The police said it would deploy a number of undercover officers in civilian clothes on the main roads to prevent any clashes.

This comes after the Israeli Knesset passed a controversial law related to the work of the judiciary.

Tonight, the bill to reduce the reasonableness argument was approved in the first reading, with the support of all members of the government coalition, after a long and heated debate in the Knesset plenary.

The bill was opposed by 56 members of opposition parties.

When Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana announced the results of the vote, members of the opposition chanted "shame" and were marched out of the plenary hall. On the other hand, members of the coalition applauded the result.

A day after the approval in the first reading of the draft law on reducing the argument of reasonableness, which aims to limit the powers of the Supreme Court, parties opposing changes in the judiciary are launching today large-scale protest activities in most parts of the country in an activity called "National Paralysis Day", which the organizers describe as inappropriate. unprecedented so far.

A young man was wounded, at dawn on Tuesday, by the Israeli occupation forces, after they stormed the city of Nablus.

According to the Red Crescent, the young man was hit with live bullets in the neck, and his wounds were described as moderate.

Israeli settlers moved into the house of the Sub Laban family in the Old City of Jerusalem on Tuesday, after occupation forces evacuated the longtime Palestinian tenants of the home and arrested solidarity activists. 

The Sub Laban family has lived in the home for 70 years, after renting the property from the Kingdom of Jordan in 1953. However, using the Absentee Property Law, a settler organization managed to take control the property because it was owned by Jews before 1948, a claim the family denies.  The same right does not extend to Palestinians who wish to reclaim property. 

Activists have joined the remaining members of the family in the house since the deadline for the eviction passed last Sunday. 

The United Nations Human Rights Office in the occupied Palestinian Territories said that the eviction "may amount to forcible transfer," which it emphasized constitutes a "war crime." 

The statement reiterated "that international law requires Israel to end all forced evictions and forcible transfers," and "urge[d] the Israeli Government to end all discriminatory evictions of Palestinians in Occupied East Jerusalem and to urgently provide an effective remedy to the Gheith-Sub Laban family for the human rights violations they suffered today."

The European Union also condemned the move. “We regret the decision by the Israeli authorities, following a court decision, to evict the Ghaith-Sub Laban family from the home they occupied since 1953 in the old city of occupied East Jerusalem,” it tweeted.

Pointing to 10 Palestinian families that are facing eviction in the Old City, the EU urged “the Israeli government to respect international law and let these families live where they have been living for decades.”

Human".

Khreishi continued, "The report is under consideration and is related to the situation of prisoners and detainees and the arbitrary and deliberate mistreatment they are subjected to, and through illegal practices using detention to prevent the Palestinian people from exercising their right to resist the occupation and the use of methods of threat, extortion, repression, assault, torture and medical neglect, in addition to transferring detainees outside areas of the occupied territory, including the use of administrative detention for repeated and long periods without any legal evidence, all of which constitute violations of the laws of The Hague and the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions and the First Protocol, as well as violations of the rules of customary humanitarian law, which are complementary elements of crimes against humanity and war crimes, in addition to that detention Arbitrary deprivation of liberty is a flagrant violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as a violation and violation of the Convention against Torture and a violation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits depriving children of their liberty.

Khreishi said: "The details contained in the report based on legal evidence require the United Nations, the various international institutions, and the High Parties to the Geneva Conventions, to work to put pressure on the occupying power to implement the recommendations contained in the report, especially the use of diplomatic, political and economic measures."

The judge in charge of the investigation into the wiretapping of the phones of a number of members of the Spanish government on Monday denounced what he said was the "absolute" lack of cooperation on the part of Israel, which forced him to temporarily shelve the investigation.

In June 2022, the judge sent a request to Israel to interrogate the head of the “NSO” company that developed the program.

Once installed on a mobile phone, Pegasus allows eavesdropping on the user of the phone by viewing messages, data, photos, and contacts, and enables remote activation of the microphone and camera.

A statement from the National Supreme Court said that in the face of the "utter absence of judicial cooperation from Israel, which has not responded to a judicial request" and probably "never will," the National Public Judge decided to "temporarily save his investigation."

According to the investigation, "the only remaining way" that the Spanish government can use to ask Israel to respond to this judicial request is the "diplomatic way".

The investigation was launched last year following a complaint filed by the Spanish government, which revealed in May 2022 that the phones of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Defense Minister Margarita Robles had been hacked using the Pegasus program.

Later, the government reported that the phones of ministers and other officials had been eavesdropped by the Pegasus program.

In his statement, the judge confirmed that Pedro Sanchez's phone was bugged five times between October 2020 and December 2021, while the analyzes of the phones of the other four government officials did not allow "who is responsible" for the espionage.

Although it was unable to determine either the information obtained during the wiretapping of its officials' phones or who was involved in the spying, the government stressed that the operation involved an "external attack".

Spanish media spoke of the possible involvement of Morocco, as the phones of Spanish officials were hacked in May 2021 and June of the same year, at the height of a conflict between Spain and Morocco.

In a statement, the battalion indicated that this came within the framework of the "battle of preparation, continuous development and breaking equations" with the occupation, and in response to its crimes in the Jenin camp and the targeting of free women.

The battalion said, "Despite the complex and sensitive security conditions and the impossible work, and despite the lack of capabilities and tools, we continue to develop and prepare, and we continue day and night to give this enemy the strength of the Qassam rockets in the land of the Al-Ayyash bank."
