Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will pay a state visit to China next week, Beijing said Friday after announcing its willingness to facilitate peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

"At the invitation of President Xi Jinping, President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas will pay a state visit from June 13 to June 16," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.

In April, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang informed his Israeli and Palestinian counterparts of his country's willingness to assist in peace talks.

The separate phone calls between Chen and the Israeli and Palestinian ministers come at a time when Beijing is seeking to position itself as a mediator in the Middle East.

Chen, in a phone call with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, encouraged taking "steps to resume peace talks." "China is willing to facilitate this," he said, according to Xinhua news agency.

Chen told Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki that Beijing supports the resumption of talks as soon as possible, according to the agency.
In the two calls, Chen stressed China's pursuit of peace talks on the basis of implementing the "two-state solution."

"President Abbas is an old friend of the Chinese people," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at a regular press conference later Friday.

He added that Abbas is "the first Arab head of state to be received by China this year, which embodies the high level of traditionally good Sino-Palestinian relations."

He continued, "The Palestinian issue is the core of the Middle East issue and affects peace and stability in the Middle East and international justice and justice."

China has been making diplomatic efforts for some time, and mediated a rapprochement in March between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Friday the victims of a knife attack in the French Alps, the presidency announced.
The presidency said that "following yesterday's attack (Thursday), the President of the Republic and his wife will visit the victims, their families and everyone who helped and supported them in Annecy."

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin had traveled to Annecy on Thursday as the country was in shock after a knife attack in broad daylight in a crowded city park on the edge of the lake.

The outcome of the attack was four wounded infants, including a Briton and a Dutchman. They ranged in age from 22 to 36 months and were transported to Geneva and Grenoble after on-site first aid.

On Thursday afternoon, the public prosecutor said, they were in an "extremely fragile" state of health and "continue to be in an absolute state of emergency".
An adult was taken to hospital after being wounded by the attacker and then shot by police while they were arresting the attacker and another adult was slightly injured.

The prosecution explained that the motives of the attacker, who spent the night in police custody and could remain so for up to 48 hours, are still vague at this stage, "without a clear terrorist motive."

The man, born in 1991, was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He has been in Annecy, without a fixed address, since the fall of 2022.

The Occupation Prisons Authority believes that its threats to administrative prisoners in order to prevent them from going on hunger strike in protest of their administrative detention, and its violation of international laws and norms against the prisoner movement in general and administrative prisoners in particular, may discourage them from their struggle steps in order to achieve their just demands.

These threats cannot discourage the administrative prisoners from their legitimate decision to declare a comprehensive hunger strike, which they set to begin on the eighteenth of this month, after they have exhausted all struggle steps in order to abolish the outdated administrative detention that even the state put in place during its colonization of Palestine to facilitate The establishment of the occupying state canceled it, because it contradicts international laws and norms and violates human rights to freedom of expression and opinion, and other things.

Before announcing their struggle steps by announcing the date of the comprehensive hunger strike, they took several struggle steps, including refraining from attending the courts. Many of them also carried out and are still doing individual hunger strikes, which led to the death of the prisoner Khader Adnan a few weeks ago, but the occupation prison administrations rejected all their demands. Rather, the Minister of the so-called Israeli National Security instructed the occupation prisons authority to increase the restrictions on prisoners, including administrative prisoners, which prompted them to escalate their protest steps and their decision to use their last weapon, which is a comprehensive hunger strike, despite the risks to their health and lives.

In addition to threatening a number of administrative prisoners, the prison administrations tried to present temptations to a number of others, represented in not imposing penalties on them and not renewing their administrative detention, as is the case now, where the administrative detention of administrative prisoners is renewed several times, and many of them are for years that often reach up to Five or six years, and after their release, the occupation authorities arrest them again.
The prison authorities, with their attempts at this threat and temptation, believe that through this they can succeed in this policy and strike at the unity of the administrative prisoners, and thus thwart the comprehensive hunger strike.
However, it is unlikely that this policy, which relies on divide and rule, will succeed with the administrative prisoners who believe in the rights of their people and their rights as prisoners and fight for their freedom, especially since the occupation authorities do not present any indictments against them and that their arrest comes under allegations of secret files against them, in an attempt to sow dust in the dirt. El-Ayoun and in order to continue their arbitrary detention.
The methods of prison administrations have become exposed, and they cannot succeed in separating the unity of the captive movement in general, and the fate of these methods and policies is a complete failure.
Hence, it is the national and moral duty of all Palestinians to take the broadest steps of solidarity with administrative prisoners and prisoners in general, and to support them and their families to prevent prison administrations from single-handedly excluding them and taking more arbitrary measures against them.

Marxist stations in the thought and practice of al-Hakim

“Whoever wants to understand us must realize that we think.” Al-Hakim inscribed this saying early on, in line with Lenin’s saying, “a concrete analysis of concrete reality” and that “theory is a guide to action, not a rigid doctrine.”

The wise man raised complex intellectual and political questions inspired by complex and complex circumstances. He searched for answers as a free mental process, dialogue with his companions and the active powers, and a self-monologue (it is preferable to be alone and think while walking, even in a closed room), and as a dialogue with reality, its data and its variables, as he is always thinking. After thinking deeply "in which the subjective and the objective fuse" from sensory knowledge to logical knowledge "and" creativity, he extracts (this is a term he uses a lot) conclusions and analyzes... He dialogues and listens deeply to others, and most of the time he speaks after others. His weapon is, first, the mind, But the “vanguard party is guided by the theory of the vanguard” by Lenin, and we have to understand “what is essential in Marxism and what was said in a specific time and place, in addition to understanding the variables.” The theoretical dialectics are imposed by the dialectics of reality. sacred and infinite, and everything is in motion... “We have to be dialectic” by Castro, where the wise man studied the Cuban experience and met with the Cuban president several times... The mind of the wise man is linked to practice and its lessons despite his various studies and his abundant culture in various fields... and because he was not He likes ready-made sentences and situations inspired by others.

For despite his transition to Marxist-Leninist left-wing intellectual positions, and his constant call for alliance with the anti-imperialist socialist camp... he was at odds on several pivotal issues with the Soviet Union:

1- The position on Israel, as the Soviet Union was the second country to recognize Israel after announcing it in 1948, contrary to the Soviet position two years ago, which considered it impossible to divide Palestine due to the economic-geographic overlap between the two Palestinian Arab communities, which constitute two-thirds of the population, and the Jew, who became one-third of the population. ... while Habash talked about the "colonial and racist" foreign body that "created the Palestinian dilemma" and "the source of wars in the region" with which "history will not coexist" as "the apartheid regime in South Africa"... calling for a "democratic state" In Palestine "and the forms of struggle that intersected...

2- The position on the Arab nation and Arab unity. These terms constitute a pillar and great goals in his intellectual-political project... Later on, he will talk about the exhaustion of the Qatari project of its progressive energy, and that there is no way out of "fragmentation and backwardness" except through the establishment of the nation-state... And there are three Dimensions:

A - Gradualism as long as immediate unity is not available, Gulf, Levantine, Maghreb... towards a federal or unitary approach, economic towards a "common market" and political towards a central authority.

B- Democracy, as it is a necessary condition and a historical necessity, and without it no unitary formulas will continue, with what democracy means in terms of citizenship, pluralism, the rule of law and the separation of powers... and also social democracy.

C - The class content, as the traditional social forces and the Qatari bourgeoisie are incapable of establishing a state of unity, not to mention that their narrow local interests and external connections contradict them, and therefore the popular classes of workers, peasants, intellectuals and the petty bourgeoisie are capable of achieving it as a long struggle process.

3- Non-capitalist development: The Soviet Union devised this theory as a justification for its relations with many countries in the Third World, including a number of Arab countries, which pursue policies that do not revolve in the imperialist orbit, such as India, Egypt, and Iraq.... During Gorbachev's era, he called the regimes In the third world to reconcile with capitalism (the imperialist center).

As for Habash, he said that the Third World has no choice but to develop in the socialist direction, as required by revolutionary class leadership in the Cuban and Vietnamese way, and therefore the struggle is open with imperialism and the local social forces associated with it (imperialist pillars), or the countries of the Third World will follow the capitalist road, and thus they will rotate In the imperialist orbit, with what this means of plundering its wealth and seizing the path of its development.

Accordingly, Habash devised the law of "alliance and conflict" with the "national bourgeois" regimes, and said that the law of development of the productive forces would lead these countries towards dependent capitalism, and not non-capitalist development, in light of the transformations that the economic-social forces will witness in a comprador and bureaucratic direction. The transformations in Egypt became a credibility for his vision and culminated in Camp David 1978.

Marxism, basically, is the theory of class struggle in the capitalist countries, without forgetting Lenin's addition of the national struggle against colonialism, so the slogan of the Communist Manifesto "Workers of the world unite" was transformed by Lenin into "Workers of the workers and their oppressed peoples unite". Marxist theorists also had additions and innovations, that is, how did the class struggle come about? And how attended the national struggle in their countries? How did they understand the privacy of their situation? Here the wise added.

Persistent on the innovative and diligent approach, Habash took the initiative in late 1969 to establish the Arab Socialist Labor Party as a Marxist-Leninist party that spread in most Arab countries... in line with Lenin's thesis by establishing the Social Democratic Labor Party in Russia (not the Russian one), which led the October Revolution later. And intersect with the theories of the Arab Marxist thinker Elias Morcos, a friend of his, in his book "The Arab Proletarian Party".

In the late seventies, he sought to establish an Arab progressive front, something that found its echo in an explicit program clause in the resolutions of the Fourth Popular Front Conference in 1981, without severing his links with the popular national conferences that included all colors of the political, intellectual and civil spectrum.

As for Palestine, he led the Popular Front as a leftist Marxist-Leninist guerrilla faction that rejects Resolution 242 and contributes with other fighting factions to the contemporary revolutionary feat. The Palestinian movement to Oslo... with the resulting blockade and financial sanctions... and even established civilized values ​​in managing internal contradictions, forbidding the use of arms, distinguishing among all contradictions (the main, the primary, the secondary, the casual, and the temporary...) in a vital approach to understanding the tangible and its dialectic... It was no coincidence that he avoided any bloody internal conflicts.

To defend the liberation march, to perpetuate the national identity, and to unify the will of the people, the two extremes are combined:

A - Defending M. T . F.

B - Endeavor to protect it from slipping and confront domination and individual decision and write off the charter. He called for rebuilding it as a comprehensive reference that includes all components on democratic foundations... In his talk about the forces of political Islam, he distinguished between a "progressive Islam" that clashes with imperialism and Israel, and a "reactionary Islam", considering faith a matter of personal conscience, even if it is secular and seeks a state whose reference is the laws that make it. Legislative authorities and what is current in the religious legacy, not the rigid text, whether religious or non-religious... Life is changing and everything is changing.

From the logic of things is to view al-Hakim as a shining symbol of the Arab and Palestinian liberation movement, a symbol soaring in the sky of revolutionary dreams. And related to tomorrow. Even when he founded the "Arab Tomorrow Center" and I was one of the participants in its board of directors, his main motive was to answer the question: Why did we fail and what should be done? With the in-depth studies it requires... In this context, the book (Israel from the Inside) was published, and his family published the book (Revolutionaries Never Die), which resembles brief memoirs in which he answers limited journalistic questions, where his class, nationalism, nationalism, and features of his political project are evident. – The intellectual who distances himself from elitism, indolence, mercurialism, acrobatic evasions, “Oh, we are alone” and adherence to the official system and the American project.

Al-Hakim's march has become a page in contemporary Arab history, and a factor in the making of history.... With his steadfastness in his goals and his sense of political responsibility mixed with the morality of virtue, he established an exemplary force that incites and guides those who defend their national identity within the framework of their national identity, and those who belong to their leftist intellectual identity based on its historical cultural identity.

The elderly Ismail Salman Ayad, a resident of Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City, died of wounds he sustained during the latest Israeli aggression on the Strip.

According to the family of the martyr, he was injured in one of the raids carried out by the occupation aircraft in the vicinity of his house in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

Imagine if a Hebrew, Israeli, Jewish child, who was only two years old, was shot by a Palestinian Arab, whether Muslim, Christian or Druze, as the Israeli soldier did by shooting live bullets in the head of the two-year-old Muhammad Haitham al-Tamimi from the village of Nabi Saleh.

Yes, he was shot in the head while he was inside his father's car, who was also wounded by a bullet that put him in the hospital.
Two years old, the child, Muhammad al-Tamimi, was targeted by a sniper with a rifle with a scope, according to reports, and therefore one of the possibilities applies to him:

First, it aims to kill the child and his father, so that his family and the people of his village may feel fear and rush to leave. By doing so, he has achieved a strategic goal for the colony by “expelling” the Palestinians and their departure on the pretext of preserving their lives, and not on their land, country, and homeland.

Secondly, because he is a racist hater who looks at the Palestinians with hatred, hostility, racism, and in a fascist way, because the child and his family do not deserve life. A target for education and training, by shooting and injuring him, as he is devoid of any rights. It is not excluded that the killer sniper will receive the reward for his criminal act against the Arab without bringing him to any accountability, as happened with the killer of journalist Sherine Abu Aqleh, who remained unidentified.

Third, he is insane, insane, devoid of reason and balance, and acts without the slightest responsibility as long as the victim is a Palestinian Arab, and not an Israeli Jew.

The killing of a Palestinian has become normal at the hands of the colony’s soldiers, tools and rules. The instructions from their official military security leaders say that if you feel danger, just a feeling is for you to act and kill without any introduction, and without any prior warning, and this explains the continuation of the daily killings of Palestinians by the army. colony and occupation settlers.

The Palestinian people pay a heavy price for their steadfastness on their land, where there are many means and circumstances of liquidation, and the result is one: killing and death, at the hands of the Israelis. Really for how long??.

They show solidarity and support for the people of Ukraine, and they show a lack of interest towards the people of Palestine. Isn't that a form of complicity with the Israeli criminal??.

Any accurate assessment of the war in Ukraine must conclude that there is no foreseeable end to the conflict. Both Russia and Ukraine are now stepping up their attacks. Russia continues to find sources to enhance its weapons, and the United States either supplies weapons to Ukraine or facilitates the transfer of new advanced weapons to Ukraine by its allies. International law is “followed more in breach than in bound.” Ukraine cannot turn to the United Nations or the International Court of Justice.

And both institutions that were created precisely to deal with this kind of behavior are immobilized by a lack of capacity, recognition, or support from a superpower, or all of these. As a result, the world split into camps.

There is the United States leading one group of Western countries mainly supporting Ukraine, and there is Russia leading a smaller group of supporters, and there is China, although it is not openly in the Russian camp, but it plays the role of "non-alignment" with the rest. Early efforts by the Biden administration to punish Russia through sanctions met with limited success, as most countries in the Global South chose to commit to non-alignment or to seek "strategic autonomy."

In some cases, this is due to a lack of confidence in the United States. Because of the US foreign policy that has baffled the world in the past two decades, the US is not seen as a reliable partner. Many countries in the global south are unwilling to risk their strong trade and investment ties with Russia and China. After our occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, our offensive for regime change in Libya, and drone attacks in countries across Asia and Africa, it's hard for other nations to follow the example of the United States as a beacon of righteousness.

For the Arab world, these double standards are of particular concern to the people. Anger over attacks that use excessive force on civilians and the struggle for territorial annexation, some may find justified. But the US claim to moral leadership is unconvincing or even hypocritical to many Arabs.

Finally, there is the argument that states must band together to oppose behavior that threatens the "liberal, rules-based international order." This unique American perception ignores the mention of international law or international agreements that the United States has been violating, or the mention of the International Criminal Court, which the United States does not recognize and mention only when it serves the interests of the United States.

This hides an American attempt to apply the "rules" you want to create the "system" you want. Given this growing disconnect and mistrust between the United States and many other countries, we entered into a new Cold War, rather than mobilizing the world against the war in Ukraine. Some countries oppose our leadership, while most of them are hesitant and put one foot in one camp and the other in another. The tragic fact is that when one side provides new weapons, the other will do the same.

And when one side escalates the proceedings, the other will follow suit. As a result, this war may continue indefinitely, posing untold risks to the Ukrainian people and the possibility of a broader regional war. The time has come to quell the illusions of a "total and humiliating defeat" and chart a path towards resolving this unwinnable conflict. Instead of fueling the fire, the United States should put China to the test by inviting it to join us in marshalling a new multinational peace coalition to secure sovereignty and security for the Ukrainians.

If we demand a change of perspective and discourse, we will have to provide incentives for peacemaking. Instead of pressuring others to support what they have come to see as our war, and forcing them not to take sides, we must invite them to join the campaign for peace, security, investment and trade that can benefit Eastern and Central Europe. This may seem unrealistic, but it is a better path than the foolish task of stoking this conflict for years to come, with the unrealistic expectation that outright victory is possible.
* President of the Arab American Institute - Washington

In the conclusion of his exceptional study on (melting consciousness or redefining torture), as he called it, he proves the accuracy of what indicates the ambition of the Zionists to control the prisoners by formulating / melting their consciousness, as he quotes Yaakov Gnoot, director of the Prison Service at the time, what he said to Gideon Ezra, Minister of Internal Security in the year 2006 And in the hearing of the prisoners when he visited Gilboa prison: (Rest assured...you have to be confident that I will make them (the prisoners) raise the Israeli flag and chant the Tikva).

Genot or the intelligence officers in prisons may have read Michel Foucault or Zygmunt Baumen and other social theorists, and learned about the methodologies of control, domination, and control of individuals and groups. The results, in general, contradict their calculations. The prisoners did not sing the Tikva (the Zionist anthem), nor did they raise the Zionist flag. On the contrary, since 2006, their collective and individual struggles have escalated to record levels.

As usual, life does not proceed according to the rulers of academic researchers and the analyzes of those working in the intelligence services. What they are unable to comprehend, and what they fail to measure (the methodological measurement tools) that are sacred to them, is the will armed with a deep-rooted ideological awareness. Nevertheless, credibility requires acknowledging their achievement of certain and serious successes, especially in nurturing the phenomenon of retreat in the unified struggle in the captive movement, which led to the disintegration of some of its joints, through the creation and development of the kapo system, which was dealt with carefully in his study and did not neglect it. Yet their collective and individual struggles continue, deepen and increase. That is the overriding positive outlook.
Walid Daqqa in his steadfastness over the course of 37 years in captivity, his intellectual activity, scientifically sober, exposing the policies of the Prisons Directorate, his meaningful literary writings directed at young people, and his defiance of his deadly disease with tenacity and a human spirit that embraces the humanity of his wife, Sana, and his daughter, Milad, constituted a model of that deep-rooted national ideological awareness. Even his marriage in captivity and the birth of a birth in this way is symbolic. Whoever wagered that the prisoner would chant (the tikfa) and raise the flag of the Zionists, here he is associated with the companion of Shabak al-Ziyara for many years while he was a prisoner, and he gives birth with smuggled semen in insistence, like others, on living the humanity of childbearing and caressing the child despite the nose of the Zionists and despite the restrictions of the visit.

The struggling prisoner does not need to prove his humanity, for that is a foregone conclusion. Rather, he is the one who deserves to live it. The Zionist jailer is the one who lacks his humanity in exchange for the humanity of the prisoner fighter. Walid not only confirmed his humanity, but confirmed that his consciousness was not fused, just as the awareness of thousands of imprisoned militants did not fuse, but rather he exposed the policy of smelting consciousness that targets the prisoners.

During all stages of Walid’s life in captivity, he did not stop playing his leadership role in the captive movement, and I was honored to have experienced this role in Ashkelon prison in the year 97, and from the position of the conscious fighter of his patriotic role within the captivity, he separated by this behavior from a handful (leaders) who chose to play the role of capo . Walid did not stop producing sober knowledge, literary writing for young people, and building fraternal and comradely relationships witnessed by the multitudes of those who lived with him in captivity.

That is the awareness that cannot be melted, that is, if you will, it is also the awareness that is the limit of myth according to the poetic expression of Muzaffar al-Nawab. Walid in confronting the policy of daily killing, as the martyrs Nasser Abu Hamid and Khader Adnan and those who preceded them faced it, and (daily killing) is a real expression, not a metaphor, confirming that the aspirations of the Zionist jailer to melt the prisoners’ awareness in general are pipe dreams, and Walid Daqqa is only a model of awareness that cannot be melted.

After Iran announced the readiness of the hypersonic missile (Fatah), and after the announcement of the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Major General Hossein Salami, and the commander of the Air Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and a number of other leaders of the Revolutionary Guards announced the unveiling of the missile (Fatah) and the announcement of the Revolutionary Guards that This hypersonic ballistic missile was manufactured by the experts of the Aerospace Industry Center of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, so Iran strengthened its military arsenal at all levels, and it is the first time that it manufactures a hypersonic ballistic missile, and this announcement comes while the West has been trying for more than a year to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action regarding The nuclear agreement that was reached in the year 2015 between the major powers and Tehran, and according to the French Foreign Ministry spokesman, he said that Iran is involved in a nuclear escalation that is very disturbing to Israel and the world, and this is what has become known as cutting the hair between Tehran and the West, so Iran despite the warnings of the West after the unveiling of Its ballistic missile says it is within the framework of international law, and there are no violations that warrant this incitement and condemnation. Therefore, with this statement, Tehran is continuing its policy of increasing its progress in the field of aerospace power, and this Iranian flight in the space of military diversity is perhaps a tactic in light of the world's preoccupation with the Ukrainian-Russian war and the situation fragile interior in Israel.
Confused Israel
France's insistence on accusing Iran of manufacturing a hypersonic missile is tantamount to excessive western-Iranian rapprochement, with regard to settling the nuclear file. I do not believe that the French regime does not represent the whole of Europe as a front to clash with Tehran, and at the same time the rest of the European countries have their swords and hearts with Israel while keeping A Moawiah’s hair is stretched between them and Tehran. As for the American official level, there is no official response regarding what Iran has produced, a “hypersonic missile,” until the writing of this article. However, all that worries Israel worries the Americans. The response is clear: more boycotts in the foreseeable future, but it remains The international dispute with Tehran is possible. The question is, is the production of this missile just protection and fear of an Israeli-American attack? This is what Tehran explains, so doubt, fear and anxiety remain from the days of the leaders of the occupying state, with this I can say that Iran has shuffled the cards and increased the gap between it and the world, and the European card for settling the Iranian nuclear file has become in the wind, with this the ball is in the Israeli court, as the possibility of launching raids Israel in the Iranian depth is on the table of the mini-cabinet, but it is limited, and remains conditioned on American approval in the short term, and this is excluded as a result of the approaching election campaign that will begin at the end of this year.

Badin does not gamble
It is no longer a secret to anyone that the United States of America does not involve itself in a war adventure with Iran. The arenas of conflict with the United States are open, led by China and Russia. These fronts are still wide open. The priority is not Tehran according to the American agenda, China first and Russia second. America remains holding the stick. From the middle in dealing with the Iranian file, despite what Tehran produced from manufacturing the Fateh missile, it does not mean anything to it as long as there is no Iranian threat to the interests of the United States of America in the Middle East, as there is Israeli pressure on the White House to stop it from producing a nuclear bomb, only Some of the entity’s leaders specialized in nuclear programs, the Iranian nuclear bomb will see the light within 12 days, thus Tehran has confused Israel and made it flounder left and right, at a time when the White House plays the role of calming as if it is giving it any narcotic needles to Israel, in the end no one can He is certain of an American decision to confront Iran militarily, but the occupying state remains dependent on the next president of the United States of America, and supports the direction of the Republican Party, which often agrees with it on the Iran file and other files, especially the Palestinian issue. It is the only one in its hands at present, and we do not forget the political and ideological division the occupying state is suffering from, and the weakening of its internal front. In conclusion, all roads are closed to it today. Despite the widening gap between Iran and the West at the present time, the old continent has only statements and denunciations in its repertoire. It is working from The door to preserving Israel's security, and they found it, and also to restore relations with Tehran for its personal interests.

On Friday morning, the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip conducted new missile tests within the framework of developing its military capabilities.

He heard several explosions caused by the firing of those missiles, which were said to be long-range.

On Thursday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to undermine the prospects for the establishment of a Palestinian state, following talks he held in Saudi Arabia, during which Riyadh stressed linking normalization to peace with the Palestinians.

At the end of his visit to Saudi Arabia, Blinken held telephone conversations with Netanyahu to discuss "deepening Israel's integration into the Middle East through normalization with countries in the region," according to US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.

Miller said that Blinken "discussed the necessity of fulfilling the pledges made in regional meetings held in Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh to avoid measures that undermine the prospects for a two-state solution," referring to talks held earlier this year in Jordan and Egypt that brought together Israeli, Palestinian and American officials.

On Thursday, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said in a statement in English that he made with Blinken next to him that normalization with Israel "is in the interest of the region" and would "bring great benefits to everyone."

"But without peace with the Palestinians, any normalization with Israel will be of limited benefit," the Saudi foreign minister added.

"We must focus on reaching a path that provides peace, justice and dignity for the Palestinians," he added.

In a speech delivered this week to AIPAC, the largest support group for Israel in the United States, Blinken said he would seek Saudi Arabia's recognition of the Jewish state, which is one of Israel's most important goals given the kingdom's weight in the region and its role as the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.

In Netanyahu's previous term, relations between Israel and the UAE, Morocco and Bahrain were normalized. It is a development that Netanyahu described, similar to the administration of then US President Donald Trump, as the culmination of achievements.

Netanyahu returned to power at the head of a government that is the most right-wing in the history of Israel, which includes opponents of the establishment of a Palestinian state.

On Friday, the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz focused in several reports on the escalating murders among the Palestinians of the occupied territories, especially after the murder of 5 of them yesterday in Yafa Nazareth, and the killing of others in two separate crimes in Kafr Qassem and Jaljulia.

The newspaper says in a report: "It became clear to the Arabs in Israel that their lives are not as important as they wanted to believe," noting that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu abandoned its duties and left the lives of the Palestinian population in the hands of crime and violence organizations that kill without an iota of mercy.

She referred to the statements of the Israeli Police Commissioner, Kobi Shabtai, in a closed conversation with the so-called Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, who said, "They kill each other, this is the mentality of the Arabs."

The newspaper said: "Five were killed in one incident. They should put the whole country on its feet, but not in the State of Israel, which sees that Arab life is worth only peeling garlic, and the cries of young men and women are not heard and their calls are ignored, and there is nothing more frustrating than this feeling." helplessness, when all hope of safety is gone.”

She added, "Neither Ben Gvir, nor Shabtai, nor anyone understands the consequences of murders for young people in Arab society, and what courage does it take to get out of the house and shoot 5 people to death? No courage, only there is one thing that motivates the killers, which is that They will not be caught or they will be punished because of police policy, which is why murderers get out of their homes again and again and continue to commit crimes, with the fact that in a country where neither Israel nor Arabs have value.” According to her saying.

Last night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

During his conversation with Blinken, Netanyahu stressed that any new agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear file is not binding on Israel.

Netanyahu's office said that during the call, the issue of Iran was discussed at length, and that he reiterated his firm position that returning to the nuclear agreement with Iran will not stop its nuclear program, and no agreement and settlement with Iran will oblige Israel to respect it, which will do everything in its power to defend itself.

Netanyahu also expressed his appreciation for the military and intelligence cooperation with the United States, which has reached an all-time high recently, especially after the frank meetings that took place recently in Washington between the teams of the two sides to coordinate the close relationship.

The two sides discussed the challenges facing the region.

3 young men were arrested, at dawn and Friday morning, during a campaign of raids carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in the governorates of the West Bank.

According to local sources, the occupation forces arrested the two wounded, Wissam Marwan Al-Tamimi and Muhammad Fadl Al-Tamimi, from the village of Nabi Saleh, northwest of Ramallah, after raiding their homes in the village.

The occupation forces also stormed Jenin and the outskirts of its camp, amid violent armed clashes with the resistance fighters.

Those forces raided many homes without any arrests being reported.

The occupation forces arrested the young man, Basman Hamayel, from his home.

Today, Friday, the Ministry of Health announced the death of a citizen, as the occupation forces shot him near the Rantis military checkpoint, west of Ramallah.

The Civil Affairs was informed that the martyr was the young man, Mahdi Samir Muhammad Bayadsa (29 years old).

On Friday morning, an Israeli soldier was injured, as a result of an attempted attack on the Rantis crossing checkpoint near Ramallah.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, the soldier was slightly injured as a result of an attack that included an attempt to seize his weapon, while the attacker who attacked the soldier was neutralized while trying to search him with his fists.

Preliminary investigations showed that the incident was criminal as a result of an attempt to steal a vehicle and bypass the crossing.

A young man was killed, Thursday evening, in a shooting crime committed near the city of Kafr Qassem, in the Southern Triangle area, within the 48 lands.

And local sources reported that a young man in his thirties, from the neighboring town of Jaljulia, was shot while driving his vehicle on Street No. (444) near the town of Kafr Qassem, and was critically injured, and medical staff announced his death later from his injury.

In a statement issued today, Thursday, the follow-up called for "organizing demonstrations and vigils today and tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, in all our villages and cities," and warned against "exploiting the escalation of crime for authoritarian political goals, such as bringing the Israeli Shin Bet into our society's affairs under the guise of dealing with crime."

And the committee stated, after its session that was held after the crime in Yafa an-Nazareth, that it is calling for a “general strike in the Palestinian society within the 48 territories tomorrow, Friday, in response to the criminal massacre that took place in the village of Yafa an-Nazareth, with the continuation of the killings and shootings that claim the dead and wounded.” Amid intentional and systematic authoritarian inaction.

Soon, the follow-up committee will announce other escalatory steps.

The follow-up and the Qatari committee of heads of local authorities stressed the need to "escalate our struggle and confront this reality that is being practiced and imposed systematically and formally in Palestinian society within the 48 territories, more than in the past, which requires correcting all feelings of anger and tension in the right direction, especially since we believe that this issue is in its essence A political battle, and that the Israeli establishment does not deal with us as citizens and rights holders.

She pointed to "the absence of security and safety in the Palestinian society within the 48 territories and the general feeling of tension and fear among the Palestinian masses, and the failure of state institutions to carry out their duties and responsibilities, seriously and practically, in the face of the increasing manifestations and phenomena of violence and crime."

And the follow-up warned against "exploiting the expansion of crime, to intensify calls from government leaders involved in this dangerous phenomenon, to introduce the Shin Bet apparatus into our society under the guise of fighting crime. Legal tools exist if the government and its arms want to completely eradicate the phenomenon of crime from our society."

During an official visit to Rabat, Israeli Parliament Speaker Amir Ohana called on his country's government to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, which is disputed with the Polisario Front, announcing that there are "serious talks" between the two governments in this regard.

"I said and say very clearly, in my capacity as Speaker of the Knesset, that Israel must move towards recognizing the Moroccanness of the Sahara, just as the United States did by signing the Abraham Accords," Ohana said in a press conference following talks with his Moroccan counterpart, Rachid Talibi Elmi, in the House of Representatives.

"There are currently serious talks between our governments on this issue, and I think that Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu will announce his decision in the near future," he added.

Morocco is waiting for Israel to take a step in this direction since the two countries normalized their diplomatic relations in late 2020 through a tripartite agreement, which also included the United States' recognition of the kingdom's sovereignty over the disputed territory with the Polisario Front, supported by Algeria.

This conflict has been going on for nearly fifty years. Morocco, which controls about 80% of the territory of the region, proposes to grant it autonomy under its sovereignty as a single solution to end it, while Polisario is calling for a referendum on self-determination under the supervision of the United Nations.

The latter calls on the parties to the conflict to negotiate "without preconditions", with the aim of reaching "a just, lasting and acceptable political solution" with a view to "determining the fate of the people of Western Sahara".

In parallel to his call on the Israeli Prime Minister to officially endorse Morocco's position on this conflict, Ohana said that much remains to be done to strengthen the ties of the two countries.

He singled out the "opening of two embassies" in Rabat and Tel Aviv, where the two countries are currently connected through two liaison offices.

Ohana's visit to Rabat comes a day after talks between Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi in Rabat.

During these talks, "the two sides reviewed a series of bilateral and regional issues of common interest," according to the Moroccan news agency MAP.

Israeli soldiers also participate for the first time in the annual African Lion military exercise, which Morocco and the United States organize from June 6-16.

This dynamic in the relations of the two countries comes after it was recently clouded by the rise of extreme right-wing currents to power in Israel and the daily violence in the occupied territories.

Morocco "strongly" condemned in early April the Israeli forces' storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque's courtyard, following violent clashes between Palestinian worshipers and the Israeli police.

Rabat regularly affirms its commitment to the Palestinian cause, which still enjoys broad popular support in the Kingdom.

On Wednesday, several dozen anti-normalization activists demonstrated in front of the Moroccan parliament in Rabat, to protest hosting the speaker of the Knesset.

5 people were killed in a shooting crime in the town of Yafa an-Nazareth, and a young man and a girl were seriously injured in a shooting crime in the village of Kafr Kanna, this Thursday afternoon.

According to medical sources in Kafr Kanna, the medical staff of the Magen David Adom Foundation provided initial treatment to a 3-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man whose injuries were described as serious, and they were transferred to complete treatment at Poria Hospital.

The police opened two files to investigate the circumstances of the two crimes, and no suspects or any details have been arrested so far.

Yesterday evening, Wednesday, a young man, Ayman Fadel Zoubi, from the village of Solem, was killed in a shooting crime in the city of Nazareth, while two others were seriously injured as a result of two shooting and stabbing crimes in Deir Hanna and Jaffa.

And with the murder of 5 people in Yafa Nazareth, the number of murder victims in the Arab community has risen since the beginning of this year until today, to 891, including 6 women and two children.

Today, Thursday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh called on the international community, led by the American administration, to put serious pressure on Israel to stop all its collective punishments against our people, daily raids into Palestinian areas, arrests, killings, and attacks on Islamic and Christian sanctities.

This came during his meeting with the Norwegian Special Envoy for Peace in the Middle East, Hilda Haraldstad, to discuss the latest developments and developments in Palestine, in the presence of Norway's representative to Palestine, Torn Vesti, in his office in Ramallah.

He also called on the donor countries, led by Norway in its capacity as the chair of the donors' conference, to put pressure on Israel to implement the pledges it made, and the need to stop all unfair deductions from our funds that put us in a real financial crisis, to release the withheld funds, and to empower the Palestinian economy.

Shtayyeh said: "The current Israeli government's measures and the cumulative steps of previous governments aim at destroying all aspects of life for our people, and waging several wars against us at all levels, over our land, money, people and our narrative."

During a meeting of the international coalition against the Islamic State organization in Riyadh, Thursday, Saudi Arabia and the United States urged Western countries to take back their citizens who fought in the ranks of the organization and their families who are being held in Syria and Iraq.

Tens of thousands of people, including family members of jihadists of more than 60 nationalities, are being held in the Al-Hol and Roj camps in northeastern Syria, which are run by the Kurds, and in Iraqi prisons.

At the outset of the meeting, which was attended by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said that it was "disappointing and totally unacceptable" that some rich and developed countries had not yet returned their citizens.

And he addressed these countries by saying, "You must do something, you must assume your responsibility."

The international coalition, led by Washington, was established in 2014, following the rise of the organization in Iraq and neighboring Syria.

Since the announcement of the elimination of the "caliphate" in 2019, the Kurdish Autonomous Administration has called on the concerned countries to recover their nationals from members of the organization's families who are in camps, especially in al-Hol camp, which is witnessing killings, chaos and security incidents.

But despite the appeals, most countries have not returned their citizens. Few countries have received a large number of their citizens, such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kosovo. Others, especially the European ones, contented themselves with recovering a limited number of women and children.

On Thursday, Blinken praised the countries that took this step, calling on other countries to do the same.

He said, "Restoring (nationals) is essential to reducing the population of detention camps such as al-Hol camp," which hosts about 10,000 foreigners.

He assured his country's coalition partners that "failure to recover foreign fighters may lead them to take up arms again," announcing Washington's allocation of $148.7 million for stabilization efforts in Syria and Iraq.

And last March, the commander of the US Army's Central Command, "Centcom," Michael Korella, warned that the organization's fighters being held in Syria and Iraq are "a real army in detention."

And he warned that "if they are liberated, the group will pose a great threat," explaining that "there is no military solution for the detainees" of the organization.

And while the Iraqi courts have issued hundreds of death sentences or life imprisonment against those accused of belonging to the organization, the Kurdish Autonomous Administration in northeastern Syria warns that it does not have sufficient capabilities to continue detaining them, let alone prosecuting them.

And last month, the international coalition reported a decrease in ISIS attacks in Iraq and Syria during the first months of 2023, by 68% compared to the same period in the previous year.

However, the organization's elements are still active in remote rural areas and launch sporadic attacks.

According to estimates published in a report to the UN Security Council in February, the organization has "between 5,000 and 7,000 members and supporters spread between Iraq" and Syria, "about half of them fighters."

The head of the Prisoners' Club, Qadura Fares, said, "The decision of the fascist minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, to prejudice one of the most important rights of the prisoners, which is the right to treatment, and to deprive them of it, is a decision to kill the prisoners, and an additional expression of the deep fascist transformations of the occupation, and one of the most important aspects of these transformations." The presence of the fascist (Ben Gvir) in the occupation government.

And between Fares, the prison system has worked for decades, systematically, to prejudice the right to treatment, which is practically a direct violation of the right to life, which is considered an absolute right that is not subject to any restrictions according to what was stipulated by divine and man-made laws, as the occupation policies led through the crime of negligence. Medical (slow killing), which led to the martyrdom of many prisoners, the last of whom was the martyr Sheikh Khader Adnan, who was assassinated through this policy.

Fares added, "These decisions once again put the international human rights system to a new test, in addition to the hundreds of tests that it failed in the context of the Palestinian cause, as a result of its decisive positions, and we remind them that this fascism system will affect the world, so today we are talking about (Ben Gvir) who He was good at shouting in the alleys and streets, inciting and demanding the killing of Palestinians wherever they are. Today, we find him in a decision-making position, translating his racist conflicts into policies and decisions.”

And he continued: "The prisoners have always fought for their rights for decades, and they still are. These decisions will impose the resumption of the confrontation that the prisoners started in February of this year against the measures of the fascist (Ben Ghafir), during which the prisoners carried out struggle steps, on the basis of unity, And they were able to preserve the status quo, and the suspension of the confrontation came collectively, in which they affirmed the principle that (you are back, we are back), especially since these decisions do not only target the conditions of life in detention, but rather the lives and fate of the prisoners.”

Fares stressed that this issue is greater than the issue of the right to treatment, but rather that its contents include a new introduction to the killing of prisoners, and this is what (Ben Gvir) has been calling for all the time, warning of the repercussions of these decisions that should prompt us, as Palestinians, to read them more broadly. from what I came out with.

Meanwhile, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem considered that the bombing of the house of the captive Farroukh was a full-fledged war crime and a heinous policy of collective punishment practiced by the occupation since the establishment of its usurping entity.

Qassem said, "The policy of demolishing homes has always proven its failure to stop the revolution of our people, who are fighting for their freedom, dignity and independence."

For his part, the spokesman for the Islamic Jihad Movement, Tariq Selami, said, "The demolition of the house of the captive Farroukh falls within the context of aggressive Zionist policies, which failed to stop the resistance, which is getting stronger and more determined in light of the increasing aggression."

He added, "The demolition of homes will not break the will of the steadfast Palestinian people, who know that the path of liberation passes through great sacrifices."

In turn, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirmed that the bombing of the house of the prisoner Farroukh is an intense expression of the occupation's impotence, the failure of its policies and its continuous crimes against our people.

On Thursday, the office of the so-called Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, denied what was published in the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz this morning, that it sought the help of extremist Bentzi Gopstein, head of the far-right "Lahava" organization, in his ministerial duties.
