Nablus - "Al-Quds" dot com - Ghassan Al-Katout - In its last meeting, the Political Bureau of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine paused before many field developments in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the political situation in the occupying state, regional and international developments and their repercussions on the Palestinian cause.

In an interview with Al-Quds.com, a member of the Political Bureau of the Front, Muhammad Dweikat, said that the meeting discussed the Israeli attacks in the West Bank, the siege on Gaza, the settlers' daily attacks on property and residents in the West Bank, especially Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley, and the series of massacres committed by the occupation in Nablus and Jenin, and he saluted the resistance that It faced the occupation with steadfastness and steadfastness, and the emergence of armed formations such as the Lions' Den, the Jenin Brigade, and the Balata Brigade.

He stressed the importance of these formations of resistance fighters belonging to resistance political parties who presented a positive image in the history of the national struggle when they formed these cross-factional bodies, and this indicates that the Palestinian people are united in the field and are trying to deliver a message to the two sides of the division and to the national movement of the need to end the division and restore national unity through A comprehensive national dialogue takes the Palestinian situation out of the current crisis it suffers from, through a national consensus program that guarantees the continuation of resistance in all its forms and strengthens the steadfastness of our people on the ground and in the fields of resistance and in areas that are subject to direct daily attacks from settlers and the occupation forces.

And he continued: "We are advancing practical mechanisms that we firmly believe can be achieved, and that the Palestinian cause and the national movement get out of the bottleneck through the actual announcement of ending the work of the Oslo Accord and the subsequent agreements, stopping all forms of security coordination with the occupation and all economic relations, and withdrawing recognition of the occupying state." The Israeli, placing the Palestinian file before international bodies so that they stand up to their responsibilities, and the formation of a unified national leadership that leads the struggles of the Palestinian people and directs them according to a national consensus program agreed upon by all national and Islamic forces and factions.

He called on the Palestinian government to work seriously on arranging its situation in a manner consistent with the national situation and with the previous decisions and directions that were unanimously agreed on the need to derogate from all agreements, and to put in place possible programs and mechanisms to enhance the steadfastness of citizens and fortify the home front.

A comprehensive national meeting
He said that the Palestinian situation and what it witnessed in the previous period during the battle of "Saif al-Quds" and the widespread popular uprising witnessed by all the Palestinian territories in the West Bank, Gaza, the interior and the diaspora, confirmed that the Palestinian people are united in facing the occupation and its racist and bloody policies.

And in light of the situation that the forces and factions are going through at the level of the national movement in the West Bank, Gaza and abroad, or the national movement in the occupied interior, an appeal was made to the national forces in the West Bank and the occupied interior to the necessity of arranging a comprehensive national meeting in order to form a national and national front to confront the policy of the occupation in light of the rise of the extreme right Its leaders declare every day that the coming days will witness a series of racist decisions and laws against the Palestinian people at home, specifically in the Galilee and the Negev, and a series of racist laws and measures in the West Bank and Gaza.

He added that this dictates that the national movement and all the people in the West Bank, Gaza and the interior hold a comprehensive national meeting in order to come up with mechanisms and proposals that establish a new phase of coordinating national action and strengthening the steadfastness of the people at home and in the West Bank, Gaza and the diaspora.

He considered that this experience reaffirmed that the occupation cannot fragment the people and isolate them into cantons, and that all the Palestinian people and their national movement at home, refugee camps and communities are united in confronting the occupation, struggle and resistance against the occupation, and there is an objective and national necessity to form a comprehensive body for all these gatherings that proceeds according to A national program that takes into account the privacy of each Palestinian community.

He stressed that the Front will make a great effort to hold this meeting in order to extricate the Palestinian situation from the impasse it is experiencing.

Algeria meeting
Regarding the reunion meeting that Algeria recently hosted, Dwekat thanked the Algerian president, government and people for hosting this important meeting, which came out with many important recommendations, but they lack many guarantees for their coming to light, such as setting timelines for implementation, and restoring the seventh item of the Algeria Declaration, which is related to the formation of A government of national reconciliation or a government of national unity that prepares the atmosphere in the West Bank and Gaza to hold general legislative and presidential elections, and later to hold elections for the National Council, wherever possible, and resolve many issues that resulted from the division.

He added that this item is important and that it can be reconsidered and discussed again, and the decisive factor in this matter is that there is a sincere will on both sides of the division to end it and not to entrench themselves behind narrow partisan positions.

He said that the Democratic Front considers the Palestine Liberation Organization to be a national coalition that includes all national and Islamic forces and the sole and legitimate representative of all the Palestinian people, and it must be preserved and the role of its various bodies strengthened.

He added that the executive committee of the organization must take its role within the framework of the national movement as a leading role and guide to the entire national movement and the general Palestinian people, and that the Central Council take its role as a leader and guide to the national movement and lead the battle of reform and restoration of all the bodies and institutions of the organization and get it out of the policy of hegemony and exclusiveness in political decisions. The National Council is supposed to hold its elections to include all our people, wherever they are and whenever possible.

mass movement
Dwaikat called for the necessity of activating the rising mass movement in the field, and providing everything necessary to ensure its continuity, such as protection and guard committees, striking forces, and a unified national leadership at the level of each governorate to protect the population groups that are directly exposed to settler attacks, especially in light of the talk of establishing groups of settlers to attack the settlers. Palestinians in main streets or outposts and settlements close to population centers, imposing a mass boycott on Israeli goods, providing national alternatives wherever possible, and alternatives from abroad when a national alternative is not available, and adopting an alternative diplomatic strategy consistent with the strategy of popular resistance in preparation for a broad mass uprising in which all components of society will be involved. political, social and geographical.

Knesset elections
Dweikat said that the results of the Israeli Knesset elections clearly showed that Israeli society is heading towards the right and the extreme right, and that the rise of right-wing and fascist parties is clear evidence that we are entering a new phase in which repression, bloody massacres, and a series of racist laws and regulations will increase in the West Bank, Gaza and the occupied interior.

He added that it is required to unite all efforts in order to thwart this government and the efforts of the leaders of extremist parties to commit more crimes against our people and expel the indigenous people from Jerusalem and harass them through imposing new laws and relentless attempts to divide Al-Aqsa Mosque temporally and spatially.

He said, "In front of a right-wing, fascist government, we need to unite all efforts, strengthen steadfastness, escalate all forms of resistance against it, and thwart the efforts they are trying to impose by legalizing outposts, providing them with infrastructure, and building religious schools."

He added that the task of the national movement is great, but field unity is the only way to thwart these projects, and national consensus on the program of common denominators is the only option to ensure the strengthening of steadfastness and the escalation of all forms of resistance, and paves the way for a third intifada and national disobedience.

Unipolar retreat
With regard to the developments of the international situation, he stressed that the hegemony of the unipolar pole has begun to decline, as well as the US policy that is hostile to peoples and that robs them of their resources, and in return a new alliance led by Russia and a number of superpowers is advancing that confronts US policy and tries to isolate it by entering into a battle to rebuild a new world order that will not be The United States is the one who controls and dominates the capabilities of peoples.

He added that the isolation of American policy is in the interest of the Palestinian cause, and the political leadership controlling the Palestinian decision is supposed to re-read the situation and the recent international developments towards getting rid of the previous bets, which is still betting on the possibility of the United States being the main sponsor of the political process in the Palestinian cause, despite the experiences. The many that have proven to be partners and supporters of the occupation.
He called for building new alliances and relations with the rising countries that are trying to isolate US policy in the region and the world.

Normalization bets failed
With regard to the Middle East region and the Arab countries, he stressed that the normalization that took place between Arab countries and the occupying power remained within the framework of the supranational political relations.

He said: "What we see and hear from the positions of the leftist and progressive parties in the Arab countries and their absolute rejection of the policy of normalization with the occupation is a positive indicator, and that people of all political orientations still reject normalization, and what happened in the World Cup in Qatar confirms that the Arab peoples reject normalization, and that Israel It is still isolated from the Arab world and its people, and it must remain so."

He demanded the unification of all Arab efforts through the progressive parties in a comprehensive meeting, with the Palestinian national movement at the head of this meeting, to form an Arab and progressive national front, and to have a unified position in order to put pressure on rulers and governments who seek to embody relations with the occupying state.

And he indicated that the occupation tried to infiltrate the Arab countries by presenting itself as an advanced and civilized country that fights terrorism, but it failed to convince the Arab peoples of that, and the peoples are still loyal and ready to give everything they have to the Palestinian cause.

Refugee camps and diaspora
Dweikat stressed that the Palestinians in the refugee and diaspora camps, especially in the camps of Syria and Lebanon, need great attention and intensified efforts and pressure to rebuild the Yarmouk camp and other camps whose residents were displaced and destroyed.

He said that there are vigorous efforts by the forces and factions, led by the Democratic Front to restore life in the Yarmouk camp, and the front and a number of forces and factions began to repair all their headquarters and offices in the camp and resumed work with these headquarters as a first step to restore confidence to the camp residents and a message addressed to all the displaced camp residents that it is possible Return There is an urgent national need to return to their camps, repair them, and preserve them as the title of the national cause and a temporary station until they return home.

He stressed that efforts are being made to put pressure on the responsible authorities to start rebuilding the camp and other camps.

As for the Lebanese camps, he said that they need serious attention from the PLO, the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA, especially since there are attempts to reduce UNRWA services in the Lebanese camps, as is the case in the camps in Syria and the West Bank.

He said that there is a need to develop a comprehensive plan to confront the policy of cuts and to face the problems faced by the camp residents in Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, and this is the responsibility of the Liberation Organization and the National Forces Authority.

He added that there is a need for a serious program of action in the face of the cuts of UNRWA and the countries sponsoring this agency, and it is required to activate the file at the international and popular levels, and there are many meetings to try to activate the role of the committees within the camps in order to raise their voice in the face of the policy of cuts and the overcrowding of educational classes in the camps in Lebanon and the harassment that it is exposed to. She has the sons of the camps in Lebanon and Syria.

He stressed that these reductions are political reductions that begin with a gradual reduction of services for a period of time until the end of the direct, humanitarian and political responsibility of relief agencies and the end of the presence of the camps as population centers and the dispersal of the camp residents to the countries of the world, as happened in some camps.

LAGOS (AFP) - An explosion at an illegal oil refinery has killed at least 80 people in the Niger Delta region of southern Nigeria, which has been devastated by decades of vandalism and illegal exploitation of hydrocarbons.
Police and emergency services said the explosion occurred on Friday evening at an illegal location between the oil states of Rivers and Imo.
"We found at least 80 bodies with signs of severe burns at the site," Ifianye Nagy of the National Emergency Agency at the scene told AFP, adding that the number could rise further.
"We learned that there are many dead bodies in the nearby bushes and forests, as a result of some illegal (refinery) operators and those responsible for them trying to escape to a safe place," he said.
Naji explained that a number of burnt cars and explosives used to collect stolen crude and petroleum products were scattered around the place.
Police confirmed that the explosion occurred at the site of an illegal refinery, where its operators and customers had gathered.
"Several bodies, burnt beyond recognition, lie on the ground, while the bodies of others who tried to escape hang from tree branches," said the director of the Center for Youth and Environmental Defense, Finface Dominamine.
Several local media reported that more than 100 people were killed in the explosion, which is a link in a long series of repeated similar incidents.
Nigeria is the largest oil-producing country in Africa, and exports an average of two million barrels per day, representing 90 percent of the country's export revenues.
According to sources from the official sector, the country loses about 200,000 barrels of crude oil per day due to sabotage and theft.
Illegal filtering of crude is a common practice in Nigeria's oil-rich south, where thieves sabotage oil pipelines to steal crude, which they refine and sell on the black market.
Most of the inhabitants of the Niger Delta suffer from poverty and accuse the big oil companies of polluting the region and not contributing to its development.
Decades of oil spills have destroyed mangrove forests and entire villages where fishing and farming were the main source of income.
The worst pipeline explosion in Nigeria occurred in October 1998 in the town of Jesi in the south of the country, killing more than 1,000 residents.
The government deployed the army to carry out large-scale operations to destroy illegal refineries in the Niger Delta, and to try to end the plundering of oil resources.
But the campaign has yielded scant results and hundreds of illegal refineries are still operating in the swamps and near the rivers that cross the region.
The head of the National Agency for Oil Spill Detection and Response, Idris Moussa, told AFP that an investigation had been launched to find out the cause of the explosion, which occurred on Friday.
"Investigations are underway and the fire that broke out after the explosion has been extinguished," he added.

San Francisco. - (AFP) - A number of “Netflix” shareholders filed a lawsuit against the streaming platform, which they accuse of deceiving them about the decline in the number of its subscribers, which is the news that caused the drop in its share price.

These investors noted in a statement published Tuesday that the California-based group made "false and/or misleading" statements and withheld certain information.

Investors criticized the platform in particular for not making it clear that “the slowdown in the growth of the number of subscribers is due, among other reasons, to the sharing of accounts between a number of customers, and to the increase in competition from other broadcasting platforms.”

And “Netflix” announced on April 19 that it lost 200,000 subscribers worldwide in the first quarter of the year compared to the end of 2021, which is a precedent for more than ten years.

The lawyers who filed the class-action lawsuit on behalf of the investors recalled that the share price fell "by more than 35 percent, to settle at $226.19 on April 20."

And the streaming giant, which expects to lose more subscribers in the spring, has planned to clamp down on the sharing of IDs and passwords, allowing many people not to pay for access to the platform.

Netflix, which expects to lose more subscribers in the spring, intends to adopt a strict policy regarding sharing accounts on its network, which allowed many to benefit from the service for free.

And “Netflix” announced in early March that it would conduct tests in South American countries to impose a financial allowance on its customers if they wanted to add additional profiles to their accounts.

But “Netflix” expected to gain 2.5 million additional subscribers in the first quarter, while analysts were expecting an even larger number, which caused the shock caused by the loss of some of them.

The reason for the loss was in part the suspension of service in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

The group explained on April 19 that the suspension of its services in Russia after its invasion of Ukraine led to a net loss of 700,000 subscriptions. "Otherwise, we would have had 500,000 more subscriptions" compared to the previous quarter, she added.

The total number of subscriptions to the platform has reached 221.64 million.

While Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces this week not to attack the factory but to besiege it, Podolyak said Russia was massing its forces in preparation for an "attack".

He said that "the Russian Federation should think about what is left of its reputation."

He called on Moscow to "declare a real truce on the occasion of Easter in Mariupol" and to establish "immediately a humanitarian corridor for civilians."

He also called on Moscow "to agree to a special round of negotiations so that we can transfer or exchange our military."

Ukraine reported a day earlier that Russian forces had "thwarted" an attempt to evacuate civilians from Mariupol.

Fighting erupted in other parts of the country on Sunday, blowing any hopes of a ceasefire for Easter.

The governor of the Donetsk region, Pavlo Kirilenko, said two girls, aged five and 14, were killed in a village in the east by Russian forces.

Pope Francis also called on Sunday for a truce in Ukraine for Orthodox Easter "to ease the suffering of weary people".

The confrontation in May 2022, the month in which the journalist Sherine Abu Aqleh was martyred by the occupation bullets in Jenin camp.

By arresting journalists, the occupation authorities aim at undermining their role in exposing and exposing their crimes, and restricting freedom of opinion and expression.

The prisoner Mahmoud Issa, who is sentenced to three life terms and (46) years in prison; The prisoner Basem Khandakji, who is sentenced to three life terms, the prisoner Ahmed Al-Saifi, who is sentenced to (17) years, the prisoner Munther Mufleh, who is sentenced to (30) years, and the prisoner Haitham Jaber, who is sentenced to (28) years.

The occupation also continued to harass them, confiscate their knowledge production, and pursue them. Not only that, but many of them were subjected to a policy of solitary confinement.

The Captive Club renewed its call for international human rights organizations to intervene seriously to put an end to the occupation's ongoing violations against journalists, including systematic arrests, and to guarantee their right to exercise freedom of opinion and expression.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, the company, Ben & Jerry's, decided to complete the talks within two weeks in an attempt to prevent the parent company from continuing with this step.

We were asked to find another place to bury him near the border, very far from where we live. How are we supposed to visit our father's grave? In the end, we were forced to bury him in the Fallujah cemetery in the northern Gaza Strip."

Al-Yazji added, “There are a lot of vacant government lands in the Gaza Strip, which the government must turn into cemeteries.
