The governor of Salfit, Abdullah Kamil, revealed a new settlement occupation plan aimed at seizing more than 10,000 dunums of agricultural land in the governorate, in favor of settlement expansion.

Kamil said, in a statement issued on Sunday evening, that the occupation authorities published, through the so-called "Supreme Planning Council," the decision to seize lands belonging to the towns of Al-Zawiya, Deir Ballut, Rafat, and Masha, west of Salfit Governorate, and Sinria of Qalqilya Governorate, and transferring them to Industrial and tourist areas, settlement units, and roads linking settlements.

Kamil added that, according to what was stated in the detailed plan issued by the occupation, a new industrial zone will be established under the name "Sha'ar Hashomaron" and "Nahal Rabah", on 4 thousand dunums of agricultural land, road networks, a cemetery and public places, and the expansion and linking of the "Qena" settlement. With the Oranit settlement, in addition to the establishment of new settlement units, road networks and a sewage pumping station, in the lands of Rafat, Masha, and Sinria (belonging to Qalqilya).

Kamil called on the people and farmers to communicate with the competent official authorities represented by the municipal and village councils, the General Authority for Civil Affairs, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority, and the various legal authorities, to submit the necessary objections and block the road to the Judaization plans of the occupation.

He stressed that these occupation practices are a flagrant and gross violation of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, foremost of which is Security Council Resolution No. 2334, noting that the settlement policy, whether building or expanding settlements, seizing lands or displacing Palestinians, is illegal, rejected and condemned.

Kamil called on the international community to take decisive positions to pressure Israel to stop its settlement practices and policies.

An Egyptian security delegation conducted a field investigation with the Israeli army command in the border area where the operation took place yesterday, which led to the killing of 3 soldiers at the hands of an Egyptian policeman.

The army added: We are working in full and close cooperation with Egypt to find out the circumstances of the incident and draw lessons.

Dozens of citizens were injured, this Sunday evening, during a settler attack on the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus.

According to local sources, a group of settlers infiltrated from the evacuated "Homesh" settlement, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, and attacked citizens' homes in several areas of the village.

Clashes erupted after the residents responded to the attack, which led to the injury of a citizen with a gas bomb in his hand, and dozens of them suffocated from poisonous gas.

About 50 settlers attacked a house on the outskirts of the town with stones, and smashed the windows of three vehicles.

On Sunday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked his cabinet ministers to reduce their participation in the rally in support of Israel that will be held in New York.

According to the sources, Haniyeh has not yet made his final decision on whether or not to return to the Gaza Strip.

In the event that Haniyeh returns to Gaza, this will be his first since he left the Strip at the end of 2019.

Since 2016, Sir village, south of Jenin, has not received any projects and support, which deprived its residents of many services, while it lacks a health center, which causes great suffering to the citizens.

The village of Sir, which is 18 km from the city of Jenin, is located, according to Council Chairman Wael Irsheed, on a high mountain, from which it is possible to see the regions of Jordan and several cities in the interior, such as Afula, Nazareth and Galilee, and its name is linked to an old name from the Roman era, “Sheer”. Its distortion over time to Sir, which rises 470 meters above sea level, and embraces a group of Roman ruins and ancient historical monuments.

According to Irsheed, there is a 130-year-old mosque in the village, an old corner, and a religious shrine that includes the tomb of the guardian of "Sheikh Theeb", who is one of the righteous saints who were visited by the villagers in the past decades, just as the Jews used to visit after the Israeli occupation in the June setback of 1967. They also call it the shrine of Sheikh Theeb, and there is a very old ruin in the village that includes ruins, and two olive presses, one old and the other modern, used by the people during the olive season.

Borders and population .. The village of Sir is bordered to the north by the town of Zababdeh, to the south by the villages of Siris and Al Jadida, to the west by Mithlon Sanur, to the northwest by Musliah, and to the east by Aqaba and the village of Al Kfeir.

Irsheed stated that the village population, according to the official census, is 857 citizens, 7% of whom are refugees who were displaced by the Zionist gangs in the Nakba in 1948, from the villages of Umm Al-Zinat and Al-Ghabeya. Among the families who were displaced during the two phases of the Nakba and the setback of June 1957, and some of them were forced to move to live in the neighboring villages and the city of Jenin.

Necessities of life ..

In an interview with Al-Quds.com, the head of the council explained that the majority of Sir’s residents depend for their livelihood on agriculture, with its vegetable and animal counterparts. , medicinal herbs, and there are two farms for breeding and producing poultry.

village council..

The village council includes an administrative body consisting of 7 members, including the president, and it was able to build a headquarters for the council in 2009, consisting of one floor. Ending the merger, its ownership returned to the Council to exercise its functions independently until today.

Village needs.

Irsheed explained that the council, since the end of the merger with the United Municipality, has not received any forms of support or projects since 2016 until today, which hinders its role and tasks, explaining that the village needs support to implement a project to build internal roads with a length of 5 meters.

He stated that there is a structural street in the village that has been subjected to major collapses, which poses a threat to citizens' homes and the lives of citizens. It is a very basic and important project, but to no avail, we are still waiting."

He said, "There is an urgent need to rehabilitate a main road linking the two villages of Masaliyah Sir, with a length of 4 km. For 10 years, the council has been waiting for approval or support to complete the project, in addition to the village's need to implement the electricity network maintenance project."

At the same time, Irsheed pointed to the suffering of patients due to the lack of a health clinic to meet the needs of patients, especially the elderly, women, and child care, in addition to the opening of a medical laboratory. He added, "This problem has been going on for 16 years, and we submitted books and requests to the Ministry of Health to open a clinic and provide medical staff." But you did not respond to our request.

He added, "The village and the council need to build a multi-purpose hall to serve the people, especially since Sir lacks reliable community institutions and centers, and the full responsibility rests with the council, which devotes all its efforts to serving the citizens and completing vital projects, but it is still powerless due to the lack of support and assistance."

Irshid pointed out that the farmers were affected by the failure to complete the second and third phases of the watershed project in Marj Sanur, which aimed to rehabilitate and reclaim lands and build agricultural roads, explaining that only the first phase was completed.

The village is famous for its large forests, and the council, according to Irsheed, is still seeking support for the establishment of a public park to be an outlet for citizens due to the aesthetic features that the area represents.

He added, "Our vision is to advance and develop the village, and provide all services to citizens, including building a second floor for the council, which includes a multi-purpose hall and the rest of the departments required for the council's roundabout. The plan is still under study to complete the project at the expense of the council."

And he continued, "We appeal to President Mahmoud Abbas and the Prime Minister to issue their instructions to the relevant ministries and institutions to provide support and support for our village, to implement the required vital and development projects."

On Sunday, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Ardan, criticized US President Joe Biden for ignoring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not inviting him to the White House, and publicly criticizing the judicial reforms led by the latter's government.

Ardan said in an interview with the Hebrew Channel 7, prior to his speech at a conference of the channel that will be held tonight, that "the problematic position that Biden took towards Netanyahu is a grave and grave mistake."

And Erdan considered that this is not the best way for friends to behave among themselves, even in the presence of differences, stressing the importance of joint relations between Israel and the United States, especially since the former are the closest allies of the latter.

Statistics of the Ministry of Public Works in the Gaza Strip documented, on Sunday evening, that there are 1,980 cases of total demolition that have not been reconstructed until now, since the Israeli aggression in 2008 until 2023, with a total of $97.5 million, while more than 90,000 cases of partial demolition are still pending.

He said, "We have cases before the 2014 aggression that remained pending and have not yet been reconstructed. 189 housing units were completely demolished and not yet reconstructed, at a cost of $7.4 million, while the total partial damages that have not yet been repaired amounted to $13 million."

He added, "The most haunting file for us and pending until now is the file of the residential towers, which were mainly targeted in the 2021 aggression, as the total cost of their reconstruction is about $30 million," noting that there is an Israeli veto regarding the rebuilding of these towers.

Al-Agha called on all donor countries to fulfill their promises regarding the reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip, and to end this disturbing file that affects the lives of the residents of the Strip.

The administrative prisoners in the occupation prisons intend to take a series of steps that will end with an open-ended hunger strike, the date of which will be determined soon.

In a statement issued on Sunday evening, the administrative prisoners called on all legal, human rights and media institutions inside and outside the country to stand up to their responsibilities and support them in their struggle against this criminal policy.

The administrative prisoners said: "Your support for this strike is a victory for the blood of the martyr Khader Adnan, and it sounded the alarm for not repeating the crime of execution against any prisoner on hunger strike."

He called on all the Palestinian people and all the free people of the world to launch the largest campaign of solidarity with the prisoner Walid Daqqa, and to put pressure on the occupation to release him before it is too late, especially in light of the sharp decline in his health condition.

On Sunday, the Russian authorities called on residents of a region on the border with Ukraine to leave their homes, following the intensification of Ukrainian bombing this week.

Chebykino, located in the western Belgorod region on the border with Ukraine, was subjected to daily bombardment, killing many civilians and prompting residents to flee.

The region's governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, urged residents to cooperate with the authorities and evacuate the area.

"I ask the residents of the villages, especially in the Chebykino area, which was bombed, to listen to the authorities' directives and leave their homes temporarily," Gladkov said via Telegram.

The goal, he emphasized, is to "protect what matters most: your life and the lives of your loved ones."

He stated that the area witnessed another "unquiet" night and "extreme damage."

Gladkov spoke the day after two women were killed in border villages by bombing.

He said that "more than 4,000 people" from the border regions are currently staying in temporary housing in the Belgorod region.

He stressed that the authorities will transfer minors from the border villages on Sunday, and the children of soldiers fighting in Ukraine, to youth camps.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel has sent a clear message to Egypt, that the investigation into yesterday's incident must be joint and comprehensive.

An Egyptian policeman killed 3 Israeli soldiers in a shooting attack at the Egyptian border.

"We will draw the necessary lessons and conclusions regarding our actions along the border fence between Israel and Egypt," Netanyahu said.

He added, "We will update procedures, methods of work and means to reduce smuggling to a minimum and ensure that such tragic attacks are not repeated."

Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation forces continue to close the two entrances to al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah.

According to local sources, the occupation forces continued to close the two main entrances to the village, and prevented citizens from entering or leaving it, forcing them to take bumpy dirt roads to reach their workplaces, which only four-wheel drive vehicles can cross.

The sources added that the eastern entrance to the village is completely closed, while the occupation forces close the western entrance on a daily basis between six thirty in the morning and two in the afternoon.

It should be noted that the occupation forces closed the two entrances to the village for 19 consecutive days, and opened the western entrance last Thursday, and kept the eastern entrance closed.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces handed, last Thursday, the citizen, Nael Rashid al-Haj Muhammad, a notice to seize 5 dunums of his land, which is located at the eastern entrance to the village, under the pretext of establishing a military tower. On the eastern side of the village.

Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, and clashes broke out between the town's residents and the occupation forces, without injuries so far.

According to local sources, the occupation forces stormed the town of Beit Furik, in conjunction with the exit of the students from their schools, amidst the firing of bullets, stun grenades and poisonous gas.

Riyadh and Washington called on the parties to the conflict in Sudan to return to the negotiating table in order to reach a new ceasefire, two days before US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's visit to Saudi Arabia.

"The two facilitators are ready to resume formal talks," and they call on "the parties to agree on a new ceasefire, and implement it effectively with the aim of building a permanent cessation of military operations," said a statement published by the Saudi Press Agency, "SPA", on Sunday.

"The delegations of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces are still in the city of Jeddah, despite the suspension of talks and the end of the five-day ceasefire," the statement continued.

The call came in the wake of an air and artillery bombardment that shook Khartoum on Saturday, with no prospect of calm in a conflict that entered its eighth week and continues to claim victims, of whom the Sudanese Red Crescent announced the burial of 180 of them without identifying their identities.

The battles intensified in the past two days, after a temporary truce concluded with Saudi-American mediation between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo met the fate of its predecessors, with its complete collapse.

Since the outbreak of the conflict on April 15, the two sides have failed to honor repeated pledges of a field truce that would allow civilians to leave combat zones or provide safe passage for relief aid.

More than 1,800 people have been killed since the fighting broke out in mid-April, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project.
However, paramedics, relief agencies and international organizations have repeatedly warned that the actual number of victims is much higher, due to the presence of dead bodies in hard-to-reach areas, or the inability of some of the injured to reach medical centers for treatment.

On Wednesday, the army announced the suspension of its participation in the Jeddah talks and accused the support forces of not fulfilling their obligations to respect the armistice and to withdraw from hospitals and homes. This was followed by confirmation by the Saudi and American mediators of officially suspending the talks.

Blinken's visit to the Kingdom begins on the sixth of June and ends on the eighth of it.

The United States had expressed its willingness to resume talks in Jeddah with the leaders of the two warring camps in Sudan, in the event that there were "serious" intentions in terms of adhering to the cease-fire.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs published, in its report issued today, Sunday, the details of the health status of three prisoners languishing in the Israeli occupation prisons. They face their families amid harsh conditions and psychological and physical torture, with a deliberate medical negligence policy aimed at killing them slowly.

The authority stated that the prisoner, Fatima Abdel-Rahman Shaheen (33 years), / Bethlehem, has been suffering since her arrest on April 17, from an injury by the occupation army in her limbs, abdomen and spine, as a result of which the occupation forces arrested Shaheen for about a month. At Shaare Zedek Hospital, where she underwent treatment and had one of her kidneys removed, and the doctors informed her that there is a high possibility that she will be paralyzed and that she may not walk on her feet in the future. She was later transferred to the so-called "Ramla Hospital Clinic", where she is in a wheelchair.

Note that the prisoner is married and the mother of a 4.5-year-old girl, "Ayloul", and Shaheen has not been able to meet or communicate with her family until this moment. Her detention has also been extended and her trial session has been postponed until 05/07/2023.

As for the prisoner, Kamal Hani Jouri (23 years), from the city of Nablus, who is in Ramla Hospital, he suffers from a serious injury he suffered at the time of his arrest, which caused damage to the nerves in his pelvic area. He was transferred to a civil hospital and underwent an operation, but the doctors were unable to Removing the bullet from its place, because removing it may lead to permanent paralysis, and he is currently receiving many treatments and medications, and he moves around in a wheelchair and needs daily follow-up.

The prisoner Khaled Nawawra (62 years) / Bethlehem, who is in Al-Naqab prison, suffers from a continuous ulcer and a spleen, in addition to a problem with the teeth and gums that led to the loss of most of the mills and teeth, and an upper and lower hoop was installed, and he needs an implant. Urgent treatment, while the prison administration is satisfied with giving him painkillers.

It should be noted that Nawawra has been arrested since March 2, 2003, and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

One does not know, even those specialists and those of us who follow the most, which episodes of the comprehensive Israeli attack on the Palestinians are the most dangerous: are they the daily violations of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the temporal and spatial division scheme? Or field killings and daily assassinations, or repeated wars on the Gaza Strip, one round of which does not end until the next round begins? Or the continuous pressure on the authority financially and security to reduce its role to a mere security agent and a barrier between the occupying state and the Palestinian people, or is it the unbridled attack by settlers supported by the occupation army on Palestinian villages and their lands, as is happening now in the villages of Al-Mughayyir, Jalud, Qaryut and Turmusaya? However, it is proven that these and other episodes are interrelated and complementary, and they are led by the government of the fascist extreme right, with the participation of all the institutions and tools of the occupying state, including the army, settlers, civil government agencies, the media, and even the judiciary. Even the opposition that presents itself to its audience and to the world as democratic and liberal forces keen on the rule of law colluding with the fascist government, supporting them and covering their attacks in everything related to the attack on the Palestinian people, so Gantz, Lapid, Sa’ar and other poles of the change government spend their unconditional support for their government even when it commits Described war crimes, as happened in the recent aggression on the Gaza Strip.

And if we have become accustomed to certain patterns of these attacks, such as assassinations and daily storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, now there is what represents a new and distinct addition to the arsenal of war and aggression, which is the level reached by the settlers’ attacks in terms of organization, planning and continuity, confirming that their attacks are not just fleeting and sporadic incidents, as some thought when the Holocaust occurred. Hawara in late February, nor is it linked to the limited ambitions of some settlers who innovate every day new colors for settlement, the latest of which is the so-called "pastoral settlement". in this scheme.

Legislating the return to “Homesh” and the rest of the settlements of Jenin by the government and parliament (the Knesset), then preparing to annex the natural reserves in the West Bank, whose area reaches one million dunums, or about 17% of the total area of the West Bank, and attempts to displace the residents of Al-Khan Al-Ahmar and what happened and is happening In Masafer Yatta and south of Hebron in general, and the occupation forces hastily demolished any facility or facility of normal life in areas classified (C) from health clinics, schools, livestock pens, and even water collection wells, and even worse, organizing brutal attacks on the population, from arbitrary closure of roads to intimidation Workers, farmers, and school students, burning agricultural crops and property, and poisoning drinking sources, all of this confirms the existence of a scheme aimed at making the lives of Palestinians in Areas C and even some areas classified B and A unbearable, and in the absence of official forms of support. Due to the steadfastness and survival of the people, some citizens are forced to prefer saving themselves, their children, and their lives, and voluntarily leaving their villages and lands, as happened to dozens of residents of the Ain Samia region and some Bedouin communities between Jerusalem and Jericho.

Currently, this criminal settlement scheme is concentrated in the villages extending to the east of the main road between Ramallah and Nablus, and includes the villages of Al-Mughayyir, Jalud, Qaryut, Turmusaya, Duma, and Qusra, all the way to Beita. Minister Ziad Abu Ein in Turmusaya.

It is not necessary to search for special or exceptional details of any Palestinian region to explain its targeting. All Palestinian lands are targeted for two major reasons, namely the elimination of any future opportunity for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and thus cramming the Palestinians into their current places of residence within the borders of major cities and towns without any national and sovereign rights at all. The land, and the second reason is the economic, geographical and strategic advantages that any particular area gains. Here we can notice that the area that we are talking about, which extends between Ramallah and Nablus, constitutes a link between the Jordan Valley and the interior occupied in 1948, and between the north, center and south of the West Bank, and its isolation and control over it It enables the occupiers to fragment the West Bank and fragment it into fragmented ghettos, each part of which can be controlled by simply erecting a military checkpoint or gate.

The people are waging heroic struggles against this targeting for their presence. Suffice it to note that the village of Al-Mughayyir alone offered several martyrs of its finest sons and daughters during the recent years during the confrontations with the army and settlers. Likewise, a house and the neighborhood provided ten martyrs during the activities of defending the village and Jabal Sabih, which formed a distinguished model in Patterns of popular resistance, but what is unfortunate in all of this is that the activities to confront the settlements are seasonal and intermittent activities, and take place in the manner of exceptional donations and have not yet turned into a sustainable model for confrontation, which is a goal that cannot succeed without providing all forms of official support, not only for the demonstrators and those involved in the activities Rather, for the conditions of life in these targeted villages by supporting the ability of the population to enjoy a decent and safe life, and supporting their rights to health, education, social care, roads, water supplies, electricity, communications, good services, and job opportunities. them and their families.

The battles to defend the targeted lands in many areas are almost limited to the owners of the threatened lands, who sometimes incur exorbitant expenses to complete their legal transactions such as proving their ownership of the lands and hiring lawyers, in addition to their need to devote themselves to such battles.

The battle to defend the threatened lands is the battle of all Palestinians for their future, their state, and their right to self-determination, and this should find its practical and daily translation in the programs and plans of the authority, as well as the programs of political forces and civil institutions and their practical, not just verbal, struggle against the occupation.

The Israeli attack that it is currently witnessing on the land, whether by the most extreme, racist, and hostile Israeli right-wing government towards the Palestinians in particular and the Arabs in general, reaffirms that the land is the focus of the conflict between the Palestinian sides, the owner of the land, and the occupying Israeli, who works to colonize the land without the population, that is, without the Palestinians, its original owners, and not The passers-by, just as they are the occupying state that claims falsely and falsely that this land is Jewish, intentionally forgetting that the first people who lived on it and built it were the Canaanites, and that the Palestinians are an extension of them according to history and facts, and that what is less than that is a distortion and falsification that the occupying state excelled at.

The occupation attack is not limited to the land on the part of the racist right-wing government, but rather this attack is contributed by herds of settlers who, with the support of the occupation forces, not only attack the Palestinian citizens, but they are also seizing Palestinian lands in all parts of the West Bank, including Al-Quds Al-Sharif .

Not a day passes without the herds of settlers taking control of new lands, either to annex them to the settlements that were established by force on Palestinian land since the occupation of the West Bank in 1967, or to establish a new settlement with the support of the occupation authorities and forces, or to use them for grazing and the establishment of more farms, whether agricultural or animal, including This includes the fish ponds built throughout the West Bank, especially in the Jordan Valley, which constitutes more than 60% of the area of ​​the West Bank, and which the occupying state works daily to nibble on in an attempt to gradually Judaize and annex it without arousing public opinion against it, although the occupying state does not pay any attention. This is global public opinion as long as America, along with the Western colonial countries, supports it and prevents imposing any sanctions on it.

In addition to the fact that the land is the focus of the conflict, as is confirmed daily by what the occupying state and the herds of settlers are doing, the goal of this confiscation and confiscation is also to seize more Palestinian lands, whether directly or in various ways, such as claiming that it is a military maneuvers area, or setting up camps for the occupation army. Or other flimsy and invalid arguments, is to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state on the lands that were occupied in 1967, and to turn the West Bank into ghettos separating each region from another settlement, preventing any expansion of Palestinian cities, towns, villages and camps, as well as severing communication between the north and south of the West Bank.

Also, the aim of the attacks that affect people, stones, and trees is to force our people to leave their land and homeland so that the Greater State of Israel can be established on the entire Palestinian land and then on the Arab land, i.e. a state from the Nile to the Euphrates according to what the occupying state and the Zionist movement that created this aim. The state supported by the colonial West.

Preserving the land, defending it, and steadfastness over it is what will prevent the implementation of the occupation plan, and this requires supporting the citizens' steadfastness practically, not verbally.

Last April, a Gallup poll revealed that the popularity of Saudi leadership and soft power is the first among 13 Islamic countries, compared to Iran and Turkey, which confirms that the administration of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, during the era of "Salman rule", was able to To win hearts and boggle minds.

And this happens in a region torn apart by conflicts and wars, so how was the crown prince able to achieve this? And how was he able to get out of “Vision 2030” from the stage of the unexpected to the stage of this new Saudi agitation led by King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and under the direct management of the Crown Prince?

Questions are increasing after the summits that Saudi Arabia witnessed, for nearly a year, from the American summit to the Chinese summit, then the recent Arab summit in Jeddah, and all of this was preceded by the “Ula Agreement.” The most important question here: How can a leader win hearts to open the door to reconciliation with Iran and Syria? Are we facing contradictions, or flexibility? Rather, how did the Ukrainian president come?

Those who believe in the vision of the Crown Prince, his leadership, and his administration, from the outset, say: Rather, we are facing an integrated project in accordance with “Vision 2030” to give priority to interests and exploit opportunities. And that the Crown Prince moved the region “from the stage of ideology to technology,” which requires stability, investment, and young minds who believe that their future is in their country, and that is achieved through education, not ideological mobilization. For example: Here is the Saudi woman in space, after decades of arguing over her right to drive.

What Prince Mohammed bin Salman did, and what he is doing, is striving to “transfer the region from the stage of total destruction to comprehensive reconstruction.” This is not achieved through conflicts, crises, and estrangement, but rather through purifying the atmosphere and communication. It can only be achieved by enhancing investment opportunities, so that it will be an economic coordination rather than the prevailing security coordination in the region. And to be partnership and not suspicion, and competition and not conflicts. What the Crown Prince did was present two options: either to move “from ideology to technology,” or to choose between “massive destruction and mass reconstruction,” through partnership rather than gifts, grants, and tricks. Consequently, the region has to choose, and whoever hesitates or refuses will end up in the case of the European countries that rejected the “Marshall Plan” in Europe, and then returned today to begging for entry into the European Union. This is the reading of the Saudi project that won hearts, began to convince minds, and prompted Professor Alon Ben-Meir, professor of international relations at New York University, to write on CNN about "the undisputed rising leader in the Middle East who seeks prosperity, security and stability."

"The Saudis created a promising geostrategic environment in the region," Alon says in his article, "to achieve three distinct goals: maximizing stability in a conflict-ridden region, increasing its regional and international influence and prestige, and ensuring the stability of exports."

Well, how did it all happen? Here you are told: It is true that we now have the “Salmani style” of architecture, but the most important thing is that we are in the era of “Salmani rule” and under the administration of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.

In agreement with the "Middle East"

As the United States prepares for what will be crucial national elections in 2024, the Arab American Institute has commissioned a survey, as it has done for the past 30 years, to better understand how Arab Americans will vote next year and what will move their votes. Because the community holds so much power in many key battleground states, how they vote and what issues matter to them are important considerations. The results of the survey showed that Arab Americans support liberal policies more than their support for conservative policies.

While both parties are losing support among Arab Americans, the majority of Arabs seem to prefer the "Democrats" over the "Republicans" when choosing the president and members of Congress. While these are the primary political findings of this new US-Arab study, the results also demonstrate that, despite the complexity and diversity of the Arab community, there are common threads that unite them. The positions are shared across all major communities in multiple areas.

For example, although the majority of respondents reported that they experienced discrimination because of their cultural heritage. This is true of all subgroups of Arab Americans, four out of five stating deep pride in their race and heritage. Despite the importance of their religious affiliations and countries of origin, the majority present themselves as "Arab-American".

In a continuation of a trend that has been observed since Arab Americans reacted negatively to the post-9/11 policies of the Bush administration, the percentage of members of the Arab community who consider themselves “democrats” - myself included - is approximately 40 percent of those who consider themselves “Republicans”. Democrats" compared to 24 percent "Republicans". The biggest changes in this year's poll are the decline in the percentage of Democrats from about 50 percent in the Obama years and the steady growth of independents, from 15 percent in 2014 to 28 percent this year.

Further evidence of this shift in partisanship can be seen in the nearly four out of five Arab Americans who expressed concern about political polarization in the United States today, nearly half of whom blame both sides for the problem. Arab Americans give President Joseph Biden a low approval rating for his job, at 31 percent, but 47 percent of Arab Americans have a favorable view of Biden, much higher than the 36 percent who had a favorable view of former President Donald Trump.

Despite their concern about partisanship, Arab Americans, by a margin of 53 percent to 30 percent, say they would prefer a Democratic control of Congress. And when it comes to domestic issues, Arab Americans, like most other American ethnic groups, show an interest in a range of liberal and centrist policy issues. The single most important issue is gun violence, and this is followed by a second level of issues such as: addressing budget deficits and government spending, job creation and economic development, and environmental and climate change concerns.

The issues of improving health care, addressing race relations, and protecting Social Security and Medicare receive a high degree of attention. Their three main foreign policy concerns, closely related and shared by three-quarters of those surveyed across demographics, are the crisis in Lebanon, the humanitarian needs of the Syrian people, and achieving justice for the Palestinians.

Two questions were asked of Arab Americans regarding their positions on restricting freedom of expression. When asked how concerned they are about “state laws or executive orders that penalize individuals, groups, or companies for engaging in activities boycotting Israel,” more than four out of five said they were concerned. Three-quarters are also concerned about efforts by school boards seeking to ban books containing black history.

What emerges from this examination of Arab American attitudes is a picture of a group that, in large part because of its own experiences in the past few decades, is more liberal and tolerant than the general American population. At the same time, they are also level-headed and oppose the extremist views that divide the country. Of equal importance is the fact that these attitudes are largely consistent across the diverse population groups that make up the Arab American community, namely age, gender, religious affiliation, and country of origin. These shared views, values, and life experiences are the hallmarks that define society and place it at the heart of mainstream American politics.

Since the thirties of the last century, we have made great sacrifices to defend our land and our rights, and among the most famous of these stages was the strike that lasted for six months, and the Israeli occupation was expanding and strengthening, and the international partition decision came that gave us a state and Israel a state, and we rejected it because all the land was ours, and at this stage We turned from a part of Jordan to the Palestinian state project led by Yasser Arafat and the PLO, after the historic defeat of 1967.

We went through several stages, most notably the return of Arafat to Gaza after the Oslo agreement, which was agreed upon in secret. Haidar Abd al-Shafi leads the Palestinian movement, and his role has ended. He also resented that he was not informed of the secret negotiation, and considered the agreement a political stab at him, and in the estimation of almost everyone, he was right in that..

This talk is not intended to talk about the history of the issue at all, but rather about the steps that await us and what we are waiting for in the current stage that we are going through.

It is clear that the occupation is arrogant and expanding and does not care about any issue we have, and the only thorn in its throat is our demographic presence, our increasing numbers, and our steadfastness on our land despite all the difficulties and challenges.

They have annexed East Jerusalem, which is our promised capital, and set up very wide settlement and Judaization projects there, and they are working to displace the largest number of its residents and strip its people of their Jerusalemite identity, but what is happening is the opposite of what they are planning. For several well-known reasons, which strengthens the Palestinian presence, contrary to what they plan for, and one of the latest Israeli plans is the decision to return to the settlements that were evacuated by Sharon's decision to disengage from the West Bank, and to completely evacuate the Gaza Strip from settlements due to the lack of large land areas in it and the density of its Palestinian citizens.

They completely left the Gaza Strip, but at this stage, as in the past, they are expanding and establishing settlements and working to evacuate residents from their lands whenever possible, as they did in the town of Masafer Yatta in the Hebron governorate a few days ago, and preventing land owners in the northern West Bank from using the lands they own and surround Homesh settlement, which was evacuated and the settlers returned to it.

In light of the current situation, what are we waiting for, and what is waiting for the occupation? Many observers expect an explosion of resistance in the West Bank, and as an Israeli source says, the outgoing May witnessed 63 different military operations, among the results of which was the killing of more than one settler, one of whom was near Tulkarm. The minister, steeped in extremism, Itamar Ben Gvir, appears as the spark that marks the beginning of such an expected explosion.

In sum, the leaders of Israel and the extremists, first and foremost, must realize that we exist and will remain on our land and in Jerusalem, our promised capital and the historical fortress for us and for all Arabs and Muslims, which has withstood through all stages of the occupation of our country by foreign powers. They also have to realize that there is no peace and no Stability for them and in the region without the establishment of the State of Palestine and the restoration of our national rights in our land, no matter how strong they are, but we seem like the weakest party militarily, but we are the strongest in existence and adherence to rights, whatever the challenges and hardships..!!

A few days ago, Jerusalemites commemorated the twenty-second anniversary of the death of the martyr Faisal Al-Husseini, the undisputed Emir of Jerusalem and its knight, who dismounted prematurely.

On the anniversary of Faisal’s passing, and in light of the great emptiness he left behind because he was not employed by anyone, nor did he derive his powers from anyone nor from an official position or position, but rather he was a natural leader and a lover of Jerusalem, who practiced his love for it with the pain of the lover, the eagerness of the beloved, and the asceticism of the retreat In the altar of lovers and the generosity of ascetics.

On the anniversary of Faisal's passing, a lot can be said, but here I will not cry and I will not mention the virtues and virtues of the deceased because he is alive in the conscience of Jerusalemites, and lamentation is not permissible for the living.

The martyr's friends and loved ones gathered, and although I am one of his closest friends and the one who loves him the most and misses his absence, I was unable to be with them for reasons beyond my control. They gathered in a modest number with pictures of Faisal and Palestinian flags to hang on the gate of the Orient House, to which Faisal was able to restore its Jerusalem national splendor, after it was transformed after 1967 into the Orient House Hotel. It was built by the Mufti of Jerusalem in the first half of the last century, Sheikh Ismail Musa Al-Husseini, and it witnessed the visits of international personalities such as the German Emperor Wilhelm, the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie and others, and a funeral home for the late Sharif Hussein was opened in it.

Faisal was able to restore his status from a hotel to a lofty symbol of Palestinian patriotism and to make it a focal point for national action and a destination for political visitors. He hosted prime ministers, foreign ministers, senior officials and delegations from many countries of the world who used to come to the Orient House as the headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization in The heart of Jerusalem and a national address for Palestine, and I had the honor to accompany Faisal in these meetings or to act in his place as assigned by him when he was forced to be absent abroad, with a group of people from Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip representing all the colors of the Palestinian political spectrum. It was called the Orient House group led by Faisal Al-Husseini and at one time constituted a nightmare for some who feared that it would turn into an alternative leadership, although without exception it owed absolute loyalty to the leadership of the PLO, and categorically rejected all offers and temptations in return for deviating from the line of leadership in Tunisia.

Faisal's friends gathered to commemorate his memory, and perhaps they did not know that Faisal's image was still a nightmare for the occupation, as they had hardly gathered there until the occupation police raided them and took away the pictures and flags and dispersed them by force in front of the gate of the Orient House, which was closed by military order from the occupation since August 2001, i.e. after The departure of the martyr Faisal in less than three months. The closure orders regarding him and many Jerusalemite institutions closed by military orders are still renewed every six months, turning their closure into a fait accompli.

Taking pictures of Faisal and the Palestinian flags is part of the systematic Israeli policy to blockade Jerusalem, obliterate its national identity and prevent the emergence of any political activity in it. This Israeli policy was not limited to preventing the development of political life in Jerusalem, but extended to include cultural, sports, social and economic life and activities under the pretext that they are carried out in coordination with or with funding from the Palestinian Authority, and this is pure fabrication. The aim of this Israeli policy is to fight and tear apart the cultural, political, social and economic fabric of Jerusalem and to dissolve the Palestinian identity in it on the way to the familyization of society, institutions and life in Jerusalem.

There is no doubt that the siege that it imposed on Jerusalem since March 1993 and the apartheid wall that it erected around it since 2002 and completed its construction until 2006 have led, over time, to the separation of Jerusalem from its Palestinian depth in all respects, and gradually led to its transformation into what is more like Palestinian cities that It was occupied in 1948, and the gap between Jerusalem and the rest of the Palestinian territories is constantly deepening.

There is no doubt that the subject of social, cultural and political transformations in Jerusalem requires in-depth study. Despite the harsh Israeli policy and the fierce campaign against the Palestinian identity and presence in Jerusalem, and despite the isolation of the Palestinian Authority and its inability to be up to the challenges faced by the Jerusalemites, and their expectations that the Authority is unable to meet, Israel failed to kill the morale of the Jerusalemites or buy their belonging. Despite some negative manifestations that one can see from time to time in Jerusalem, especially what happened in some Jerusalem schools recently, I can say with confidence that today there are new generations in Jerusalem who preceded the political leadership of the Palestinian people and constitute an advanced position in confronting the occupation. With boldness, we only see it in Jerusalem.

The Yesh Din human rights organization and the Palestinian landowners submitted a petition to the Israeli Supreme Court, requesting the legal advisor to the government in Tel Aviv, Gali Beharev Mayara, to open a criminal investigation against the Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, and the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, on suspicion of violating the law.

The petition - as reported by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz - indicated that Gallant and Smotrich ordered to allow illegal construction in the "Homesh" outpost, contrary to the opinion of the Israeli army's legal advisor.

The petition alleges that Gallant and Smotrich ordered Israeli army commanders to commit a series of crimes, including breach of trust, aiding illegal construction, soliciting the violation of military orders and abuse of official authority.

The petition demanded the opening of a criminal investigation against the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Herzi Halevi, and the Commander of the Army in the West Bank, Yehuda Fuchs, for these crimes.

He wrote in the petition that if an investigation was not opened, it would be an admission by law enforcement that it was not interested or unable to investigate the violation of the law.

At the end of this month, a hearing will be held on the petition.

The Constitutional Court is distinguished by its performance of sacred and sensitive tasks in the face of the state and the citizen. Concerning the implementation of two contradictory final rulings and deciding on the appeal against the loss of the legal capacity of the President of the State in accordance with the provisions of Clause (1/c) of Article (37) of the Amended Basic Law of 2003 AD. The terms of reference of the Constitutional Court are extremely important for building a democratic nation based on public rights and freedoms and a nation based on integrity and transparency. The terms of reference came explicitly and clearly in the first chapter of the second chapter of the law.

We see the formation of the new Supreme Constitutional Court as an important factor for advancing the elections forward to reactivate the Legislative Council, especially since the court has jurisdiction stipulated in Article (24), including the exercise of all powers to consider and rule on the unconstitutionality of any legislation or act that is contrary to the constitution (in whole or in part). And it is worth noting that when ruling that any law, decree, regulation, regulation or decision is unconstitutional in part or in whole, the law states that the “legislative authority” or the competent authority is the authority entrusted with amending that law, decree, regulation, regulation or decision in accordance with the provisions of the law. basic and law. Here is a clear, uninterpreted message of the necessity of activating the legislative authority and respecting the principle of separation of powers according to Article (2) of the Palestinian Basic Law, which confirmed that the people are the source of powers and exercise them through the legislative, executive and judicial authorities.

The Constitutional Court was established on the basis of the amended Basic Law of 2003. The Constitutional Court Law was ratified and approved in 2006. It bears the name of the Supreme Constitutional Court Law No. (3) of 2006 and was published in the Official Gazette No. (62). The Constitutional Court Law was amended twice: the first by Decree-Law No. (19) of 2017, and the second by Decree-Law No. (7) of 2019.

The Supreme Constitutional Court Law provides for the appointment of the president and members of the court for a non-renewable period of six years, taking into account the following: a. The court is formed of a president, a deputy, and no less than 7 judges. Three members are appointed to the court every two years from the date of the first formation of the court, and its decisions are taken by majority. Article (5) of the law states that whoever is appointed as a member of the court is required to meet the general conditions necessary to assume the judiciary in accordance with the provisions of the Judicial Authority Law, provided that his age is not less than (40) years, and he is among the following categories: 1. Current and former members of the Supreme Court Those who have spent at least 3 consecutive years in their jobs. 2. Current appeals judges who have spent 7 consecutive years in their positions. 3. Current or former law professors at Palestinian universities or recognized universities in Palestine who have spent at least 3 consecutive years as a professor, or an associate professor who has spent at least 6 consecutive years, or an assistant professor who has spent at least 9 consecutive years. 4. Lawyers who have practiced the legal profession for at least twenty consecutive years. 5. Members of the public prosecution who have spent at least fifteen consecutive years in the position of Chief Prosecutor or higher.

In view of the sensitivity of the jurisdiction, the formation of the Constitutional Court must consist of those who enjoy judicial and human rights competence and integrity, in order to ensure impartiality and impartiality, despite the seriousness of the results of appointments that may overthrow the most sacred legal and philosophical principles - the principle of democracy - but we note this time that the formation of the court does not exceed The provisions of the law regarding appointments in accordance with the provisions of Article (5) of the Supreme Constitutional Court Law, but the spirit of the law has been violated in some appointments; It is difficult to imagine challenging laws that had been drafted and passed by one of the members. This fact will impede fair or retrospective dealing with decisions and laws.

We would like to draw attention to the fact that the new formation excluded women in the judiciary, despite the honorable success stories in the various governorates of the country. Palestinian women have proven their superiority and steadfastness in this specialization, and how appropriate it would have been for Palestine if the formation was fair to half of the society according to the foundations of competence and not a quota or specific titles that brought together the members of the committee.

We would like to point out that Article (21) of the Constitutional Court Law of 2006 stated that the membership of judges ends when they reach the age of 70, and this was amended in Article (1) 10 of 2017 by deleting this age clause. Here we note the importance of experience and expertise built by the years and we stress Although it is not logical to end membership due to its abstract connection with age, but at the same time we hope to witness real governance in terms of appointments and to avoid rotating positions with regard to people with experience and long experience in serving the official sector and who have exceeded the general retirement age.

"Towards the rule of law and the supremacy of the constitution" is a saying adopted by the Supreme Constitutional Court as a vision. We hope that it will guide and follow it to reach the desired goal of embodying the principle of law to build the homeland and the citizen that Palestine deserves.

The Middle East Forum, one of the American think tanks affiliated with hawks in the United States, issued a political paper entitled "Disarmament of Gaza" written by one of the Israeli army generals, "Yossi Kuperwasser," the former head of the research department in the Military Intelligence Division of the Israeli entity's army, in which he reviews the flaws The Israeli approach in dealing with Gaza, which allowed the development of Hamas's military capabilities in the Strip and increased its control, which therefore constitutes a permanent threat to Israel's security that the latter must get rid of at all costs. This is what "Kuprwasser" proposes in the paper, a decisive and preventive strategy that includes a number of policies on several levels that Tel Aviv must follow to ensure victory and get rid of the threat, according to him.

In fact, the desire to present a very short summary (based on what the article accommodates for) of this political paper that was issued two days ago lies in the importance of exploring the current shift in the methodology of Israeli political and military thought regarding dealing with the Palestinians in general and with Gaza in particular, and then the possibility of preparing A Palestinian for such future and serious Israeli proposals, which I believe will resonate in light of the state of intolerance in Israeli society and the weakness in the international community.

Two main topics that the paper talks about:
The first is the defects of the policy of “mowing the lawn”: this is the name given by the author of the paper, General “Kuprwasser” to the Israeli rounds of escalation against Gaza or / as he says / against Hamas in (2008-2009, 2012, 2014, 2021), all of which ended with the annexation of Severe damage to Hamas' military capabilities, but it failed to prevent Hamas from arming itself. Kuperwaser says that the most prominent defects of the policy of mowing the lawn are that it allowed Hamas to think that its legitimacy and existence cannot be compromised, as well as giving it self-confidence to develop its military capabilities and increase its power in the Palestinian political arena. This is because of a set of Israeli rules such as: abstaining from the possibility of launching a ground operation, not using economic sanctions on Gaza for a long time, not targeting leading figures in Hamas, and the lack of responses to Hamas operations outside the Gaza Strip, and even the Israeli response to Hamas is often calculated. And within the circle of deterrence. In addition to Israel's commitment during military operations to international humanitarian law and limiting collateral damage, according to his point of view!!

The second topic that the paper talks about is: formulating a decisive and proactive strategy to force Hamas to accept new rules that rid Israel of the threat that pursues it on the one hand, and highlight its strength in front of the Palestinians as a whole on the other hand, and constitute a strong deterrent message to Hezbollah, Iran and their allies on the third hand.

The "Cooperasur" strategy includes military, economic, diplomatic and legal contexts, in addition to changing the rules of the game and changing the political discourse and the concept of Israeli victory, which must center on the complete disarmament of Hamas and preventing its rearming.

In the military and operational context, "Kuprwasser" suggests reaching a comprehensive and effective intelligence dominance over Gaza to prevent any attempt to launch rockets before they happen, and to eliminate Hamas activists of any level whatsoever. He also says that Israel must gain self-confidence to launch air, sea and land operations (through a secure environment) against the "terrorist" infrastructure in Gaza, as it does in the West Bank and the Syrian front. This is done through a newly developed ability in the field of harnessing the capabilities of the entire intelligence community for soldiers on the battlefield, and improving the protection provided to them by strengthening military tools such as troop carriers, ammunition and anti-missile weapons. The "Kuprwasser" military plan also includes conducting more training operations on the border with Gaza and mobilizing reserve soldiers and secret operations to deliver an unmistakable message to Hamas and the rest of the factions that Israel is ready to adopt a new and severe proactive and offensive stance.

In terms of the diplomatic context, the writer says that Israel must exploit its regional relations and security cooperation to formulate a joint effort with Egypt, Turkey and the recent normalization countries to put pressure on Hamas and force it to reassess the situation, just as Israel succeeded in disengaging Hamas from Sudan. It also demanded that UNRWA remove all hate books and stop defending its employees belonging to Hamas, he said.

On the economic level, the flow of funds or economic aid that could benefit Hamas, directly or indirectly, must be prevented. Conditioning the flow of funds and foreign aid to stopping Hamas building its military arsenal.

The success of this strategy requires a game-changer, according to the author's general. Those rules that need to be changed include:
1. The base of the discourse on Gaza in Israeli society: Conviction must be instilled in society that Israel must not only respond and avenge the missile attacks, but also choose the time, place and initiative to force Hamas to disarm and stop the threat.
2. The rule of separation between the military and political leadership in Hamas.
3. The basis of pressure on Gaza by adopting long-term economic sanctions.
4. The rule of separation between Hamas operations outside Gaza and the attack from Gaza.
5. The basis for the diplomatic response to the public incitement of Hamas.
6. The rule of dealing with UNRWA is towards considering it as part of the problem and not the solution.
7. As for the rule that should not be reconsidered, it is the rule of adherence to international law, because Israel is a "moral" state, according to his claims!! Israeli efforts to prevent and disarm Hamas will not be met without criticism, but nevertheless it is very important for the Israelis to know that they are doing the right thing.

The aforementioned is a very brief summary of what Yossi Kuperwasser talked about in his political paper, but its goal can be deduced very simply, which is the call for waging a devastating war on Gaza with an intellectual preparation of the Israeli community and the international community for the human and political cost of this call! I invite you to read the paper carefully.

Today, Sunday, June 4, 2023, the Minister of Endowments and Religious Affairs, Hatem Al-Bakri, clarified regarding the number of Palestinian pilgrims for this year and the arrangements for their travel to the Holy Land; to perform the rituals of Hajj.

Al-Bakri said, "The number of Palestinian pilgrims this year comes as usual, about 6,600 pilgrims or a little more," explaining that the northern governorates have approximately 4,100 pilgrims, and the rest is for the southern governorates, distributed according to the Palestinian population census.

Regarding the date of the pilgrims' travel, Al-Bakri revealed that the travel will take place in the middle of this month, distributed over the days of (12, 13 and 14) June, whether in the West Bank or the southern governorates, which comes after the completion of the lottery, and the final arrangements for travel are close to completion.

As for the travel of the honored pilgrims, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for the families of the martyrs and prisoners, he indicated that their travel comes a little later than the date of the pilgrims, according to the decision and arrangements of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, pointing out that the Ministry is now making the final arrangements for the travel of the honored pilgrims in cooperation with the relevant institutions concerned.

In conclusion, the Minister of Awqaf affirmed that the travel arrangements for the delegations accompanying the pilgrims' convoys, such as: the medical, media, administrative and guiding missions, have been completed.

The Hebrew newspapers, issued on Sunday, focused on the shooting attack that took place yesterday at the Egyptian border, which led to the death of 3 Israeli soldiers and the wounding of a fourth, at the hands of a conscript in the Egyptian Border Guard Force.

Official investigations, as well as media reports, indicate that there was a major failure by the Israeli army in dealing with the event, in addition to the fact that the operation was carefully and in advance planned and was not transient.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said in a report by its correspondent and military analyst, Yossi Yehoshua, that this event requires a very comprehensive investigation, including all officers, from the first moment of the event and reporting the infiltration incident to the district division commander, until seeking access to the port and liquidating it.

The newspaper indicates that the Egyptian borders are constantly inflamed in light of the almost non-stop smuggling operations, and therefore the operational tension there is higher than the other borders with Gaza and Lebanon because the infiltration operations there are less.

There are many Israeli military units on the Egyptian borders, along with tanks that are supposed to provide an operational response to the challenges on the borders, despite the permanent cooperation with the Egyptians, but the Israeli defense system completely collapsed yesterday, and this should not happen, and this is what should be mentioned. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who constantly talk about an attack on Iran, with other challenges, and to check in advance what might happen in a real confrontation on the ground.

According to the newspaper, the investigation into the incident shows that at 2:30 at night, a successful drug smuggling operation was thwarted, and the forces were deployed in pairs at military points early at nine in the evening, and it was found that the perpetrator of the operation did not enter by breaching the fence. He did not climb it, but entered through an emergency corridor designated for the passage of Israeli forces to the Egyptian side when needed.

The last contact was yesterday with the two soldiers who were at the site, at 4:15 in the morning, and after 5 hours, at around 9:00 in the morning, they found their dead bodies, and it turned out that the port killed them at about 6:30 in the morning, quickly and they did not have time to respond Accordingly, after extensive pursuit, a drone spotted the bomber when he was at a depth of one and a half kilometers inside "Israeli territory", was pursued and fired with him, killing a third soldier and wounding another before he was liquidated.

The Israeli army's assessments are reinforced that the perpetrator acted alone and was not linked to any organization.

The Hebrew newspaper confirms that there is a bad operational failure, in addition to the failure related to thwarting the infiltration process, noting that it was possible to kill the bomber before his infiltration by virtue of the capabilities related to the means of surveillance, or at least after the first event, such as liquidating him from the air.

The newspaper reveals that the commander of the Faran region brigade requested the help of the Air Force, but it turned out that the combat helicopters took a long time to arrive, so he decided to send a force to liquidate the port, and in the meantime the clash took place and the third soldier was killed, before he was liquidated.

The Israeli army spokesman said, there have been orders not to fly the planes since last Wednesday due to a defect, and despite that, the Air Force was on operational alert to respond to any emergency.

The IDF is currently investigating why the infiltration was not detected by the various monitoring tools, why contact with the soldiers was not checked hourly, whether the Air Force should have arrived faster, and whether the decision to confront the crossing before it reached was "for civilians". The Israelis were correct, or it was necessary to wait and isolate the port until the helicopters arrived.

The newspaper says: "This is a serious event that requires lessons to be learned in all units of the Israeli army, now, before it is too late, and before it is too late, and this has very bad results."

Yehoshua adds in his report to the Hebrew newspaper: "This is the second border infiltration that was discovered late in the past three months. The first was in March when a terrorist infiltrated from Lebanon arrived at the Megiddo junction, about 70 kilometers into Israel, detonated an explosive device, and almost to flee back to Lebanon, only to be eventually killed by the security forces. This was a serious failure, only this time it was not Radwan's skilled Hezbollah force that infiltrated, but an Egyptian policeman with a Kalashnikov assault rifle that embarrassed the entire Israeli army, despite all advanced capabilities.

In another report, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper focused on the security measures in place and the long security fence, which was equipped with the latest monitoring and follow-up devices and cost billions of shekels. However, it did not completely prevent drug smuggling and attempts to infiltrate Africans, noting that all of these methods did not succeed yesterday. In preventing the Egyptian policeman from carrying out his operation.

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz said that the investigations indicate that the perpetrator of the operation entered through an emergency corridor closed with handcuffs, hundreds of meters away from the guard point where the female soldier and the soldier were killed, and it is still unclear whether the two dead were aware of that corridor that infiltrated. He did not know exactly when the Egyptian policeman infiltrated.

The newspaper indicates that, despite the hot weather, the soldiers are forced to remain on guard positions in shifts that last 12 hours, and at each point there are only two soldiers, in favorable conditions that allow them to be fully operational.

The newspaper published information similar to what Yedioth published about the details that led to the killing of the two soldiers, noting that the port infiltrated 2 kilometers from the place where drug smuggling was thwarted.

In another report by its correspondent and military analyst, Amos Harel, the newspaper described the event as difficult and dangerous, both in terms of its circumstances and results, especially since the number of attacks on those borders is relatively low, and in the past decade there has been no similar case of an Egyptian soldier shooting at Israeli soldiers.

Harel considered that this event requires a comprehensive military investigation, to determine the reasons that allowed the port to infiltrate, and to reconsider the concept of defense along the border, and that the relative peace that prevails in that region has placed it on the last priority of the Israeli army, which has invested a lot of resources there.

Harel asked about the reasons for the presence of only two soldiers at a guard site close to the border, and the nearest other point is hundreds of meters away from it, wondering whether this was due to a lack of manpower, and whether the shifts were long, which might harm the level of vigilance.

Harel indicated that there are extensive contacts taking place between the Israeli and Egyptian security establishments, to try to ensure that calm returns to the borders, and to find out whether the Egyptian policeman who infiltrated was helped by someone else, or if he knew of his intentions before.

And he says: In similar circumstances in many years when a similar event was taking place, the governments of Jordan and Egypt were talking about that the perpetrator was usually "crazy" and opened fire on his own, and this is a very easy explanation, but most likely we must assume that this person, including them, carried out an operation Yesterday, he underwent a process of "ideological extremism," whether it was under the influence of an "Islamic terrorist" organization, in light of the spread of ISIS in Sinai, or in agreement with the Palestinian struggle against Israel.

Harel believes that despite the close security coordination and clear friendship between Israeli army officers and their Egyptian counterparts in recent years, the incident reveals a painful and dangerous weakness in this sector, with the lack of forces and limited intelligence, which could enable any "terrorist" to plan actions. well that it succeeds in infiltrating and leaving its victims behind, and cooperation with Egypt has its limits, and while the American-led multinational force does not bring many benefits, and in the event that there is a beginning of change for the worse, the Israeli army should consider allocating more resources, and possibly augment forces with better-trained troops at least for a limited time.

For its part, the Hebrew Maariv newspaper reported that the port traveled 5 kilometers from its stationing point inside the Egyptian border until it reached the border despite the difficult terrain.

And the newspaper shows that the executor seemed to have known his path well, planned in advance for the operation, and knew how to reach the soldiers’ point and kill them without clashing with him. from that area.

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom says that this event, despite the friendship with Egypt, indicates the extent to which there are dangerous and active "terrorist" organizations that can exploit the borders to carry out similar attacks, noting that the Egyptian policeman was familiar with the area and knew how to infiltrate. This is a hard and painful blow.

The right-wing Israeli newspaper considered that the Egyptian police stationed at the borders are at their lowest level in terms of their ability to protect and provide security, and that some of their members have cooperated with armed organizations, or turned a blind eye to attacks, all as a result of Israel's insistence on implementing the signed peace agreements.

The newspaper considered that it was necessary for Israel to ask Egypt to further verify the identity of its soldiers, their motives and the ideas they hold.

For its part, the Hebrew Channel 7 reported that the investigations showed that the perpetrator of the attack was carrying a copy of the Holy Qur’an, and that the Israeli army believed that the religious motive motivated him to carry out the attack. He also found a knife in his possession to cut any border obstacles that he might face, and six magazines of bullets. , which indicates that the operation was planned in advance and accurately.
