Small projects are one of the most important means for the advancement of the economy and self-development, to achieve great results on the individual level, and lead to financial independence, especially for women, because it gives them peace of mind and the achievement of their goals, no one can control the events of life, but women who own their own projects control how to respond No matter how difficult their ambition is, the goals will remain just dreams without working to achieve them and striving to reach them and take control of things. Unlike those who lack economic empowerment, they always fall at the mercy of circumstances.

Many women view work as an essential step that must be taken, and some women view work as just an additional step in their life without any reason. Relying on an independent economic life is very difficult for a woman to find a job that matches her personality, the nature of her family life, and her degree. Increasing skills and certificates so that work is not difficult to be independent of and does not stand in front of you in the search for financial independence for your life.

The first way

Small projects generate opportunities, primarily on the personal initiative and self-efforts of the owner of the project, which will be reflected in the future on achieving a quantum leap in society. Its goal is to achieve itself through a project to manufacture medical and safe body and skin care products that are suitable for adults and children of both sexes.

Ola says: I moved between many jobs, but I did not stay long in a specific job. By my nature, I like to be a pioneer and the queen of myself. I hold the reins more than instructions are imposed on me. Since childhood, I have loved everything related to body, skin and hair care, and I love everything related to beauty and health. The idea of my project began to crystallize in this direction, but I needed someone to hold my hand at the beginning of the path and push me towards the first step, as it is always the most difficult at the beginning of the path, and at An-Najah University a colleague of mine was the one who helped me to take this step and I will not forget his grace as long as I live, he started helping me with books that I need and guide me to the sites that I benefit from, and gradually I started the project.

And she continued: The first step was only by manufacturing glycerin soap only without any other product, from the beginning of 2019 until its middle, and I was doing experiments and throwing them without success until I finally reached the correct formula, according to accurate chemical calculations and many things that I reached according to accurate and specific amounts until I succeeded, after that the subject became much easier after the first experiment, as I knew exactly what references I needed and benefited from, and then I distributed the soap to my relatives and those around me to try it, and I found great acceptance of it and many people benefited from it, then I started selling it, and I started the steps to develop the project.

From making soap to producing thirty different varieties

With passion alone, a person can draw his life as he wants. For every great success and prosperous project, a starting step was the basis for launching, and through it she was able to make a great success, and start a new stage in the world of entrepreneurship to excel and start her project in the first step with one product to work with what she loves and to excel and prove that Women are able to achieve success and excellence in what they love, to reach thirty different products for skin and body care.

And about the steps of development, Ola speaks with a big smile and joy, saying: I decided to start expanding, and since we love perfumes greatly, I entered the field of perfumes by making various aromatic serums, including what is for the hair as a protection from heat, then for the body and to maintain its softness, as well as for children, which causes them allergies, after So I went towards many products, and thank God, thanks to the Lord of the Worlds, I now have thirty diverse and different products, all of which are medical and one hundred percent safe.

And she continued: I depend on all my products on the inclusion of a natural element in it, where the active substance in the product is a natural substance, for example my human lotion is medical. Variety for the skin, such as vitamin E and C serums, moisturizing creams and peelings for the face and body, Moroccan soap, body butter, salt-free shampoo, natural hair oil capsules, and hair-smoothing serums. The essence of the rose rose, which naturally moisturizes the cheeks and lips area, and lip balm. French and Arabic perfumes, house fresheners, and grain concealer. A substance placed on the grains to reduce their size and remove them in a safe way, in addition to a coconut hair bath, in addition to a deodorant, and I consider it at the top with my work and many other products that my memory fails me to talk about all of them.

And she continued: Praise be to God, all the products I have have a demand and demand by virtue of the fact that whoever tries them once returns to them again and tries others, but I consider the deodorant product to be at the top of the products, as its basis is the semi-substance known to reduce the amount of sweat through its effect on the sweat gland to reduce the sweat that is secreted from it and its effect lasts. 24 hours and many challenges occurred with people when they tried deodorant that if the smell of sweat appeared after 23 hours of use, they would return the product and get double its price, and it also works to lighten and whiten the underarm area, which is what distinguishes it from what is in the market, which causes blackness under the armpit And the feedback from customers was very wonderful, and I also put in the products an abundant amount, taking into account that the price is suitable for everyone so that everyone can buy, and my motto is that a little profit brings a big gain, and I have an aromatic serum that gives moisture to the body because its basis is coconut oil that works on Nourishing and restoring the skin, and at the same time, its fragrant aroma of French perfumes that can be spread on the body without chemicals, without causing irritation and sensitivity, because I use medicinal substances in perfumes in a large way, which gives high hydration to the body and It smells refreshing and delicious, and you choose the scent you prefer, such as pepper, jasmine, narcissus, and others. Perfumes are available for both females and males.

And she continued: The shampoo is free of salts with an extract of natural oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, bitter almond, castor, jojoba and nigella sativa oil, which nourishes the hair and at the same time protects the hair follicles from being closed due to the salts being free of them and the acceptance is a lot because most of the problems lie in the smell of sweat and hair care to intensify Moisturizing the body while still smelling fragrant because essential oils remain engraved in the body.

Innovation and experiments

When a person knows his true passion, his life turns into a world of pleasure and happiness. Passion is a person's guide to what he loves, and with it alone he can draw his life as he wants, overcome everything, and experiment with determination to reach what he wants.

Asal says: At the beginning of my career, it took me months to be able to produce one product for one reason, which is the limited information and sites that can be used. For example, it was not available to me in large quantities. Over time, this information became available to me, and I became the one who gave it to people. At the present time, I need a whole week to list the work steps and the formula is ready. After that, I work on it, and the work needs another week, then I try the product myself, in addition to giving it to those who are very close to me to try it, and more. I have a skin type to make sure of its effect, and this needs three weeks. Of course, certain chemical tests are done on it, which we cannot do without, such as viscosity, density, its effects on the body, the pH, and others.

And she continues: In the beginning of 2019, I allocated a corner in my kitchen to work in, and with time I sought and rented a place in which I allocated a room in which to be my laboratory and put my equipment in it and do work in it, and this is by the grace of God, in the same place where I live and do everything with my own hands to be confident in my products and I can give the customer the product according to his need The opposite of someone helping in the work, as the temperature of a material, for example, causes it to decompose, so I like my work to be only with my hands because it is a handmade product and I am satisfied with myself because the business owner is more keen than others on his work in addition to because his passion for his own work is completely different from the employee's passion.

The reason for naming it "Misk soap & more"

Everything in this life has a specific reason that pushes us towards it, and every success has great steps and efforts that are made for it, and behind every successful project is a name that has been associated with it and known through it, and within this name is a specific reason for launching it from the project, and this is what was behind naming Ola for her project “Misk soap& more .

Ola says: I am like any mother. I have children who are seven years old and Misk two years old. At the start of the project, I was still pregnant with my daughter Misk, and I had decided with my husband the name we would give her. My products are natural, so it will be appropriate and after my daughter, and at first I was facing the problem of coordination between work and children, but my husband was very cooperative with me, as well as my mother, may God protect her. They helped me a lot with children to save time and focus on my work. The conditions are favorable in terms of my surroundings, and when I make compositions, I work in a large amount and keep them according to safe conditions. When there are orders, I fill orders only without working on making compositions every day.

difficulties

The ability to overcome difficulties and turn them into mere stumbling blocks that will soon be overcome is a task that is not easy in any beginning and project, and Ola has the patience and clarity of vision of what she intends to do and the ambition to change her reality and succeed in her project. Regarding some of the difficulties and obstacles that give success a distinctive flavor and great happiness, and about the difficulties that did not stand in the way of the development of work, she says: At the beginning, Dr. Omaid Amira stood with me with my project and preferred him to me until the last day of my life. And you looked at the question asked, “Why do you want to work?” I am by nature ambitious and I love work. I did not study and learn because I only care about my family and not be productive. I would like to reach a stage that one day my name will be mentioned publicly in front of my children and they will be proud of me and I will be their role model. The first difficulty is how to provide raw materials, especially since the beginning of my work was in small quantities, and most of them wanted to sell in large quantities, and it took me time to be able to find sources of raw materials, after that the cans that I used It was not easy to secure the materials and their prices were high, and I was subjected to great exploitation by merchants, but in the end I was able to reach a permanent source at a reasonable price and in the quantities that I need permanently, but I still face the problem of electronic marketing, because I am not well versed in social media, in addition to the fact that specialized companies ask for imaginary sums. Direct Marketing I have a great ability to persuade because the materials I make and I know completely their quality and passion for my work and I can deliver the information correctly.

She concluded her speech by saying: The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Work is worship.” Why do we confine our lives to four walls and to our children when we can raise our children even when we work? The only difference is our conviction about ourselves that changes with work. By myself and proud of myself as long as I develop myself, the society’s view of me will be as I see myself, so we have to be proud of myself and whoever has the opportunity to develop himself practically must prove his existence in his name to have an impact after I die, and we must always start our steps with the lowest costs and God will be with us It helps us and guides us. We must not fail and confine ourselves between walls. Negative thoughts will affect us and our negative energy will increase, and this is clearly reflected in the upbringing of children in a big way if the mother has negative energy and will destroy them psychologically without realizing it. One thing, either we take advantage of it and leave, or we waste it and stay in our place, and it is nice to leave a beautiful impact among people.

قال الرئيس الإسرائيلي يتسحاق هرتسوغ، مساء الأحد، ‘ن الوضع صعب ومقلق للغاية، وأنه وصل لدرجة خطيرة جدًا بفعل حالة الانقسام السياسي.

وحذر هرتسوغ في كلمة قصيرة له هذا المساء، من العواقب السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية والأمنية لما يجري.

ودعا جميع الأحزاب الإسرائيلية إلى ضرورة التقارب وإيجاد حلول، مشيرًا إلى أنه يبذل جهودًا كبيرة من أجل إيجاد صيغة صحيحة للتوازن.

Dozens of batfish have spread on the shores of the Gaza Strip after they got caught in the nets of fishermen in the poor coastal enclave.

Dozens of citizens gathered in Gaza City to watch the rare fish that migrate during the months of March and April of each year and pass near the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, according to the fishermen.

Fisherman Bashir Shuwaikh explains how he was lucky enough to catch more than ten fish, each of which weighs between 200 and 300 kilograms, and the price per kilogram is approximately $4.

"Every year, quantities of batfish come out. This is the season when the weather is hot. Each boat catches a certain number of fish," he added.

He continues, "Most people in Gaza know this fish and love it very much. Today, I sold a large amount of it and took a whole fish for my family."

The price of one batfish ranges between $200 and $400.

Since 2007, Israel has imposed a tight sea, land and air blockade on the Strip, which has a population of more than 2.3 million Palestinians, most of whom suffer from poverty and unemployment.

Israel determines the permitted fishing area for Palestinian fishermen in the Mediterranean, which often ranges between 6 and 15 nautical miles, and it reduces it according to the repercussions of the security situation.

The Oslo Accords signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel in 1993 limited the fishing area to 20 nautical miles, provided that this area is entirely under the control of the Palestinians.

More than 70,000 citizens of Gaza live by fishing, and about 4,000 fishermen work in the Strip.

The numbers of batfish, of which there are two species, are declining and they are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.

And the Hebrew channel reported that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed decided to freeze important deals with Israel due to the political situation, including a sensitive security deal to buy defense systems.

This morning, the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth quoted Israeli political sources familiar with relations with the UAE, saying that there is a real cause for concern in terms of relations with the Arab country.

The sources said: "Relations at the tactical level are good and have not been damaged, and there is some progress in civil issues, but there are differences on many political and security issues."

A senior Israeli official described what is happening as a "collapse on all fronts," noting that the damage to the relationship will take years to heal.

Another senior Israeli official said, "The United Arab Emirates is just one example of this collapse, which came after a record warming in relations... There are other countries distancing themselves from Israel or at least freezing communication."

He added, "It is not limited to the fact that the United States did not invite Netanyahu to visit the White House. There is an understanding among the international community that Netanyahu does not control the government and is led by Smotrich and Ben Gvir. The event in Hawara was like a crossroads. The understanding was that Netanyahu They remain calm, and suddenly they see that the area is burning under the noses of the army."

Indian authorities released a pair of Namibian cheetahs into the wild, according to what was announced Sunday by the Minister of Environment, Bhupinder Yadav, as part of a project to reintroduce this type of animal to the Asian country after its extinction more than 70 years ago.

"The two cheetahs are doing well," Yadav wrote on Twitter, after they were released in Kono National Park in central India, where they spent months in a cage to enable them to acclimate.

The two cheetahs, Oban and Asha, are the first batch to be released from eight cheetahs that arrived from Namibia last September, following the approval of the Indian Supreme Court in 2020 to import African cheetahs "to a carefully chosen place" on a trial basis.

Another 12 cheetahs arrived in India in the past month, and authorities hope the cheetahs will multiply after their release, reaching 100 within 10 years.

The authorities said that the transfer of cheetahs from Namibia to India is the first of its kind to take place from one continent to another.
India previously included Asian cheetahs, but an Indian prince killed the last of them in 1947, then in 1952 this species was officially declared extinct.

African leopards, a different subspecies from the Asian leopard, were released in Kono National Park, which is known for its vast grasslands and abundance of prey.

On Sunday, Palestinian factions and personalities condemned the new occupation crime in Nablus , which led to the death of 3 young men.

The head of the National Council, Ruhi Fattouh, held the fascist occupation government responsible for the crime of executing the three young men.

Fattouh said, in a press statement, that the occupation erects death barriers at the entrances to Palestinian towns, to kill citizens in cold blood, under false pretexts and allegations, to justify daily field executions.

He added, the repetition of executions in the same way and at the occupation military checkpoints proves the bloody mentality of the occupation forces, and that they have explicit instructions for killing and physical liquidation under the cover and approval of the Israeli political level.

The international community and human rights organizations demanded the formation of international commissions of inquiry on the executions at "apartheid" checkpoints and the death of Palestinian civilians, and the trial of the leaders of the occupying power.

And he continued: The equation of responding to the crimes of the occupation is present, as it was in the operation of the martyr Al-Moataz Billah Al-Khawaja, so the crimes of the occupation will not go unpunished. According to him.

Meanwhile, Tariq Ezz El-Din, the media spokesman for the Islamic Jihad Movement for the West Bank, said that the execution of the three martyrs is a new heinous crime recorded in the record of the occupation.

Ezz El-Din asserted, "These Zionist crimes against our people and their resistance prove every day that the terrorist occupation government declares total war on our people and uses all heinous methods that require a response to it in all ways and means." like he said.

He added, "The Nazi occupation government bears responsibility for its crimes, and our people's resistance will remain steadfast on its path, and will not back down, regardless of the sacrifices, as the occupation will inevitably come to an end."

Judaism was born in the Holy Land, the cradle of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. While the Christian religion is linked to the Old Testament (the Torah) and considers it an extension of it, Islam requires every Muslim to believe in God, His books, and His messengers, meaning that Islam recognizes the previous religions, unlike Judaism, which does not recognize the other two religions, Christianity and Islam. In any case, Judaism for us is one of the monotheistic religions, and it is incomprehensible to view it as a race or nationality.

Although the Zionist movement was based on the merger between the Jewish religion and the concept that the Jews are a nationality, and presented itself as a national liberation movement for the Jews, the Zionist movement was not born from the cradle of religions and did not succeed in gaining the support of the Jews in all parts of the world, as evidenced by the fact that the vast majority Some of the Jews of the world did not engage in the Zionist movement and did not adopt the ideology of returning to the Promised Land, and contented themselves in a large part with emotional or financial support for Israel. And there are religious Jewish groups such as Neturei Karta that do not recognize the state of Israel and consider its establishment an attack on the will of God because it is not permissible to say to the Jews a state until after the coming of Christ and the establishment of the Jewish state at his hand.

In any case, the Zionist movement was not born, as I said, in the Holy Land, but rather in Central and Eastern Europe, the regions in which the anti-Semitic movement arose and flourished. There is no doubt that anti-Semitism played a major role in the birth of the Zionist movement, which was born with the motive of getting rid of anti-Semitism on the one hand, and its idea was inspired by the successes achieved by the European colonial movement in the countries of the world and was a source of inspiration for the fathers of the Zionist movement in the late nineteenth century.

Zionism is alien to the cradle of the three religions
The fact that everyone must realize is that the Jews of Eastern and Central Europe have no ethnic connection with the Jews of the Levant, but rather they are mostly from the Kingdom of the Khazars, whose people were a mixture of Turks, Finns, and Mongols (semi-Mongols). At the end of the eighth century AD, the king of the Khazars, his nobles, and a large number of From his people from paganism to Judaism, and with time, until about the ninth century, all the inhabitants of the Khazar kingdom became Jews. Many historians believe that no less than 92% of all Jews in the world descend from the Khazar dynasty historically and have no connection with the Jews of the East.

What I would like to say is that the Jews of Eastern and Central Europe, who produced the Zionist movement, have no ethnic connection with the Jews of the Holy Land. Land. There is no doubt that the Eastern Europeans, with anti-Semitic and racist motives, welcomed the birth of this movement and supported it in order to get rid of the Jews and expel them from their countries to the next Jewish state on the way. Here, the interest of the Jews to escape from the oppression of anti-Semitism met with the interest of the anti-Semites who wanted to get rid of the Jews.

There is no doubt that the fathers of the Zionist movement have succeeded with great success in mobilizing large numbers of Jews, creating a collective spirit among them, and linking them to the concept that Judaism is nationalism, that not every Jew has to be religious, and that one can be a secular Jew or even an atheist as long as he Born of a Jewish mother.

Although the Zionist movement rode the wave of religion to justify the claim to the "Promised Land" and claimed for itself the name of a national liberation movement, the key remained in the hands of the religious, as the conversion to Judaism cannot take place through civil or secular institutions, but rather through conversion to Judaism at the hands of A religious reference, and the entry of a strict Judaization process in which whoever wants to convert to Judaism is subjected to a religious brainwashing process that ends up purifying him from the "abomination of Gentiles" - non-Jews - and branding him with the Jewish religion. The funny thing is that after the process of Judaization is completed at the hands of the strict religious rabbinic, one can, after acquiring the characteristic of a Jew, become secular or an atheist and still carry a Jewish title and become one of God’s chosen people and have the right to the Promised Land regardless of where he came from in the world. Or from any ethnic or religious background.
The Zionist movement succeeded in achieving its colonial settlement program in part of the land of Palestine in 1948, and then was able to complete its conquest of all of Mandatory Palestine from the river to the sea.

Religious coup against secular Zionism
Although the Zionist movement was established as a secular movement that seeks to establish a secular, democratic Jewish state, it was unable to impose this pattern of thinking on all the Jews who joined under its banner, especially after the European Jews coming from Europe began to attract Jews from the Arab world, North Africa and other regions from the world to benefit from the labor force despite the different cultures, concepts and social customs, which created a state of alienation and a sense of social injustice and oppression against the Jews of the East.

However, the 1967 war and the influx of Arabs from the occupied lands into the labor market in Israel relieved the pressure on the Oriental Jews and even raised them a degree above the Arabs, and they began to reflect the racism and class discrimination that they suffered from at the hands of the Ashkenazim in the past, on the Arabs who became the lowest in degree.

This social transformation, which the occupation of 1967 contributed to creating within Israeli society, soon had political results on the Israeli scene represented in the increase in the influence of Oriental Jews in political life, and this culminated in the right-wing coup that took place in 1977 under the leadership of Polish Menachem Begin, who inflamed the feelings of Eastern Jews He embraced them in the bloc of right-wing parties, which was later known as the Likud, and Israel became for the first time a right-wing government led by Menachem Begin, in which some eastern Jewish leaders were allowed to emerge, such as David Levy.

In addition to this political transformation in Israel and the dominance of the national right in government since the late seventies, there has been a steady growth in the influence of religious parties and a gradual disengagement between them and the "liberal" Jews. The nationalist right and the religious right had an increasing influence in school and yeshiva programs. Most of the education ministers were from the Likud extremists, and the budgets allocated to the religious frameworks known as the "Yishfa" increased, and thus Israel entered a period of religiosity and religious extremism. There is no doubt that the failure of the political process with the Palestinians in 2000/2001 and the outbreak of the second intifada and the accompanying armed operations and bombings, and the promotion of the saying that there is no Palestinian partner, also contributed greatly to strengthening right-wing and religious Israeli extremism and racism against Arabs.

Successive coups in the Israeli arena
Over the past 75 years, since its establishment in 1948, Israel has witnessed a series of transformations, the most prominent of which was the right-wing political coup in 1977. Then another less dramatic transformation followed, in 2006 when Benjamin Netanyahu led a more right-wing coup against Arik Sharon and forced him to leave his Likud house. And the formation of a new party that did not live long, which is the Kadima party.

Today, in the year 2023, Israel is witnessing the most dangerous coup in its history and in the history of the Zionist movement. After the early Zionists thought that they could ride the horse of religion and use it to claim what they called the historical right of the Jews in the Promised Land, we find today that the religious Jews are leading a coup against the secular Jews who established Israel as a secular democratic state. The battle that we are witnessing today through the so-called legal reform is only the beginning of laying the foundations for a religious Presbyterian state that does not believe in man-made laws and does not recognize what is called democracy and considers that the supreme legal jurisdiction is the laws of the Torah.

There is no doubt that the success of these so-called "reforms" will mark the beginning of the end of secular Zionism and the institutionalization of the state of Jewish law. Such a state, like all theocratic regimes that appeared and quickly disappeared, and some of them recently in our Arab world, does not recognize pluralism, does not believe in participation, and is based on the principles of exclusion and appropriation of power. The strange thing is that the hypocritical Western world, which fought and is fighting Islamic movements with their various names and describes them as terrorism and obscurantism, does not say a word against their Jewish counterparts.

The success of this new phenomenon in Israel will mean that secular Jews and those who believe in democracy, even if it is for Jews only, will find themselves sooner or later either forced to flee from extremist Jewish religious persecution or to stand side by side with the Arabs and fight against this coming madness, with The fragility of this assumption, however, deserves consideration by both parties.

In conjunction with International Women's Day, the Palestinian Women's Summit will be launched on the fifteenth of March, an initiative of the Palestinian Business and Professional Women Network (BPW Palestine). To represent Palestine efficiently locally and internationally. The network was launched in March 2022 after Palestine registered with the International Federation of Women. For more information about the network and federalism, please visit the www.bpw_pal.org page and the Facebook page.
BPW Palestine

The Palestinian Business and Professional Women Network (BPW) is launching the Palestinian Women’s Summit initiative for the first time in cooperation with the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, hoping that it will become a comprehensive national annual initiative to bring about practical change in the reality of women in Palestine by highlighting the Palestinian achievements and competencies that women represent in various sectors of academia. Law, engineering, medicine, science, technology, business, media, innovation, design, literature, art, data, politics and all areas in which Palestinian women have been able to excel in various ways.

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of United Nations Resolution 1325, and this resolution urged all parties to take the necessary measures in matters related to women's participation in decision-making processes.

October also marks every year the anniversary of the "Palestinian Women's National Day", which was adopted by the Ministry of Women's Affairs within the framework of the Palestinian government's plan to work to empower Palestinian women and enhance their role. The Basic Law and national policy agendas clearly state that the vision for Palestine is to promote gender equality. It also explains that women's participation in formal institutions needs to be strengthened and stresses the importance of including women's experiences and perspectives in official discussions about the occupation and its consequences. With the advent of the eighth of March, we view these dates and decisions as a turning point for the development of women’s rights, as they reflect the first official and legal documents issued by the Security Council in which the parties to the conflict are required to respect women’s rights and support their participation in peace negotiations and in reconstruction and reconstruction, and this is what the Ministry of Women’s Affairs built on. Celebrating the Palestinian Women's Day. Despite all this, from a practical point of view, women's participation rates are still not commensurate with their competence, and we still need to shed more light on women who play key roles in our society, as women's participation at the highest levels of decision-making has become an urgent necessity to achieve progress, prosperity and the desired unity.

The month of March is an opportunity for review and evaluation, to ask ourselves and our partners, what have we done towards women? What have we done with the political participation of women? Let's see where we have come from decisions and legislation and their application to protect half of society and empower women in various fields?

In order to answer these questions and to celebrate women and prove their distinction, the Business and Professional Women Network (BPW) and the Ministry of Women's Affairs are pleased to organize a summit that we hope will be annual and inclusive, this time from Ramallah, and soon in the Gaza Strip to bring together all partners to organize a national summit entitled Palestinian women.
The summit will be held in the style of Davos Dialogue:

The first discussion session highlights empowered women in the fields of technology, data, business, media, law and political decision-making.

The second discussion session sheds light on the role of donors, international agencies, projects and international efforts to empower women in Palestine.

Location: Arab American University - Al-Rayhan / Ramallah

When: Wednesday 11:30-3:30

The time has come to gather these successes under one umbrella, and we envision achieving this through the Palestinian Women's Summit initiative, which sheds light on young Palestinian women leaders and creators from many angles and different sectors. Be with us under one roof to unify the voice of Palestinian women in an attempt to gather female leadership models capable of making the positive social, economic and political change that Palestine and its people deserve.

This is an invitation to every empowered woman who is able to make a change, and an invitation to everyone who believes in the importance of the role of women to attend the first Palestinian Women's Summit on the anniversary of International Women's Day.

(AFP) - The ancient Egyptian Al-Ahly held the task of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the African Champions League in football, after suffering a severe loss at Mamelodi Sundowns, South Africa, 5-2, on Saturday, in the fourth stage of the group stage, at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
While Moroccan champion Wydad Athletic Club approached the quarter-finals, after achieving its third successive victory in Group A, at the expense of its Angolan host Petro Atletico 2-0 in Luanda.

Al-Ahly’s balance froze at four points from four matches in the second group, which was topped by Sundowns with ten points, compared to 9 for the Sudanese Hilal. Sundowns, who tied 2-2 with Al-Ahly in the first leg, secured their qualification for the quarter-finals, to join Moroccan Raja.
Al-Ahly, the record holder for the number of times to win the continental title (10), has two matches left with Coton Sport of Cameroon, bottom of the standings without points, and Al-Hilal, so that the fate of the Cairo team will not be in his hands after stumbling in three matches so far.
Scored for the Chilean Marcelo Allende (4), Themba Zwane (24), Tebuho Mokoena (40) and Namibian Peter Shaluleli (72 and 88), and for Al-Ahly Mohamed Sharif (13) and South African Percy Tao (61).
Al-Ahly coach Marcel Köhler said that his team wanted to take risks in the second half and come back after falling behind 1-3. "I think we did not deserve to win today against a big team like Sundowns," he said.
He added, "We were very bad in the first half, and in the second we wanted to take a risk and return to the result, but Sundowns took advantage of the mistakes with counterattacks, scored goals and held Al-Ahly's position in the group."
The pressure of the landowners resulted in an early goal by the attacking midfielder Allende with a powerful shot from outside the area, to the right of veteran goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy (4).
And from a mistake in passing to the Sundowns defenders, the ball reached the Algerian Ahmed Al-Kandoussi, who passed it to the uncensored Mohamed Sharif, who shot it to the right of goalkeeper Ronwen Williams (13).
The Sundowns players continued their offensive pressure in search of restoring the lead, taking advantage of the Al-Ahly defense confusion, in front of the movements of the midfield trio Allende, Cassius Mayola and New Maima, and in front of them was the annoying Shalulili.
And from a corner kick that was diverted by Tunisian Ali Maaloul, Motobi Mavala's header rebounded to Zawani, who was alone in the goal, and he hit it to the right of the goalkeeper (24). And from a repeated mistake in the middle of Al-Ahly stadium in pressing and controlling, Mokoena took advantage of the rebound from the defense and hit it powerfully, which settled in the upper right corner (40).
Tao returned with an effort to dodge Mokoena, penetrated into the penalty area from the left, then hit the ball into the net (61). Sundowns responded with a fourth goal from an organized attack, as Maima passed inside the area to the unmarked Shalulili, who shot it powerfully to the right of the goalkeeper (72).
And from a counterattack, goalkeeper Williams passed a long ball that reached Chaluli, dodging Mohamed Abdel Moneim and hitting it into the net (88). The left post saved Tau's header from a cross by substitute Amr Al-Suleya (89), so the match ended with a big victory for Mamelodi 5-2.

Wydad renewed its supremacy over Petro Atletico with two clean goals at home and among its fans, achieving its seventh victory over it in the history of their ten matches, in exchange for an orphan victory for the Angolan team.
The goals of the meeting were scored by Democratic Congolese Arsene Zola (59) and Senegalese Poly Sambo (90 + 1).
And “Wydad Al-Umma” put its first feet in the quarter-finals, as it raised its score to 9 points at the top of the first group, against the Algerian JS Kabylie (7 points), the winner over Vita Club from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, fourth, 2-1 (3 points), and Petro Atletico came third with four. points.
In the first match, the two teams started the meeting with defensive reservations, especially on the part of the Moroccan team, with preference for the host team seeking to revive its hopes, which pressed a lot, but did not create a danger in the goal of Moroccan international goalkeeper Ahmed Reda Al-Taknaouti.
The champion of the last edition, who aspired to his fourth title historically, relied on fast counters, and Jalal Al-Daoudi executed a direct free kick, which was saved by goalkeeper Hugo Marquez (13).
The international full-back, Yahya Atiyatallah, tried to miss the Angolan goalkeeper from a free kick as well, but Marquez hardly pushed it off the goal line (33).
The Brazilian Petro's top scorer, Thiago Azolao, almost surprised the Technaoti with a long shot, but he blocked it, and it bounced back to Gilberto, to hit defender Amin Farhan, then the crossbar, and Jaredi tried to return it to the goal, but the Congolese defender of Wydad, Arsene Zola, threw himself and saved her with a commando (35).
And the performance of the Moroccan team improved after the break, as the Spanish coach, Juan Carlos Garrido, made some adjustments to his squad without making any substitutions, as the defensive reservation continued, and the Angolan team almost snatched the lead when the Brazilian Willian Soares lifted the cross from a corner kick to reach defender Quinito facing the goal. So he turned it with his head over the goal strangely (57).
Wydad was able to reach the host’s net when Yahya Gebran kicked a corner kick, so he played it crosswise, but goalkeeper Marquez misjudged it, and Congolese Democrat Arsene Zola easily converted it into the net (59).
Garrido made offensive substitutions to take advantage of the spaces in the speedy counterattacks, as he pushed the Libyan Moayad Al-Lafi and Abdullah Haymoud, and the Brazilian Gleeson hit the ball from a direct free kick that bounced off the left post of the Technaouti goal (81).
Saif Al-Din Bohra responded with a long shot that was blocked by the crossbar (87), and from the rebound, Gleeson hit again a powerful ball that was blocked by the Moroccan goalkeeper with difficulty (88).
And from a quick rebound, Bohra led it from the right side, then sent a perfect cross ball to Senegalese Poly Sambo, and he headed it into the goal (90 + 1).
In the second match, JS Kabylie turned their backs with a goal scored by Marouf Chaki (55) to a 2-1 victory scored by Musa bin Zayed (63) and Masimisa Knight Salem (86).

أغلقت قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي، مساء اليوم الخميس، حاجز شوفة العسكري جنوب شرق طولكرم.

وبحسب مصادر محلية، فإن تلك القوات أغلقت الحاجز أمام المركبات المارة في الوقت الذي تجمهرت فيه مجموعة من المستوطنين بالمكان، وقامت برشق المركبات بالحجارة، دون أن يبلغ عن إصابات أو أضرار.

Istanbul (AFP) - The earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6, Europe's "worst natural disaster" in a century, according to the World Health Organization, left the country in shock.

A month after the disaster, millions of Turks are facing its dire consequences, with relatives dead, cities destroyed and a new life in tents or containers.

The 7.8-magnitude earthquake - followed a few hours later by another with a magnitude of 7.6 - killed about 46,000 people (their bodies were found) and injured 105,000, according to an unconfirmed toll.

It also destroyed or damaged 214,000 buildings - sometimes reaching more than twelve floors - in 11 of the country's 81 governorates. Nearly 6,000 people have died in Syria.

Turkish cities in the provinces of Kahramanmaraş, near the epicenter of the earthquake, and Hatay, on the border with Syria, were devastated, forcing the authorities to hastily bury thousands of people in makeshift graves in fields and forests.

About 14 million people, or one-sixth of the country's population, were affected by the disaster. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said 3.3 million people had so far been forced to leave the quake zone.

Currently, more than two million people live in tents and containers.

More than 13,000 aftershocks have been recorded in one month and this ground that continues to shake Saturday continues to cause panic in the country, located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world.

In the afflicted areas, anger is still overwhelming at the state, which took fifty hours to deploy relief teams, especially the army, while tens of thousands of people were stuck alive under the rubble.

Erdogan acknowledged the delay, which he blamed on harsh winter weather and the scale of the disaster, which covered 20,000 square kilometres, asking for forgiveness from the survivors.

Opinion surveys have shown that building developers and contractors are primarily responsible for the huge losses, after the buildings they built collapsed like paper.

At the end of February, the Turkish Minister of Justice announced the initiation of legal proceedings against 997 people involved in the construction of these buildings. 247 of them were arrested while trying to leave the country.

But no official has resigned or been removed from office except for the mayor of a small town from the ruling party, the Justice and Development Party.

Turkey, which is suffering from severe inflation and a depreciation of the currency, must absorb the economic damage of the earthquake, which the World Bank estimated at more than $34 billion.

This amount is equivalent to four percent of the country's gross domestic product for the year 2021, and does not include the cost of reconstruction, which may reach "twice" the amount, as indicated by the World Bank.

Erdogan promised to build more than 450,000 homes with earthquake resistance standards "within a year" and to pay 100,000 Turkish liras (about 5,000 euros) to the families of the dead.

On Wednesday, the President announced that one million earthquake-affected people have already received 10,000 liras in aid, a total of half a billion euros.

Special relocation aid of up to 15,000 Turkish liras (750 euros) has also been pledged.

According to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, "increased output from reconstruction activities may largely offset the negative impact of disruption to economic activity."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put an end to speculation on Wednesday by confirming that the presidential and legislative elections will be held on May 14 as planned.

Erdogan, who has been in power for twenty years and is running for re-election, has made the reconstruction of devastated areas his approach. However, the election is the most threatening for him since 2003.

The opposition, which has tried to unite into a national coalition of six parties, should nominate its joint candidate on Monday. But the choice of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of the Republican People's Party, the main opposition party, caused the coalition to split on Friday.

Translation by "Al Quds" dot com - Senior officials in the Israeli police said, last night, that they do not have the energy to bear a new escalation in occupied Jerusalem in addition to the current events, including the ongoing protests against "judicial reforms".

This complaint comes after a security assessment session conducted by the so-called Minister of National Security , Itamar Ben Gvir , about the preparations for the month of Ramadan by the Israeli police and the Shin Bet.

The debate sparked controversy because it was held in the meeting room of the "Jewish Power" party, which is led by Ben Gvir, inside the Knesset headquarters, before it was moved to another place after a photo was taken of it.

During the discussion, an audio recording of "Ben Gvir" was leaked, the decision to close Al-Aqsa Mosque in front of settler incursions in the last ten days of Ramadan, considering it a "crazy" step, and a surrender to terrorism.

An official in the Israeli police said that the final decision will be in the hands of the government, according to the security assessment of the situation.

During the discussion, the Israeli police requested the deployment of thousands of its members in Jerusalem, in anticipation of any escalation during the month of Ramadan.

A senior officer said: "The month of Ramadan will be a great challenge, especially as it comes at a time when protests continue, in addition to preparing for any operational activity for any scenario that may occur in Ramadan."

The Israeli police estimate that the month of Ramadan will be very explosive, especially as it coincides with the intention of the Palestinian prisoners to declare a comprehensive strike.

A source in the Israeli police expected to request reinforcements from the army.

Idlib - (AFP) - Paramedics working in areas outside the control of the Syrian regime on Friday appealed to the international community to save critical cases among survivors of the February 6 earthquake, following the death of a child as a result of "crushing limbs" syndrome.

Three-year-old Alp Arslan Berri died Thursday night in a hospital in Idlib, northwestern Syria, knowing that he is the only survivor among his family members, according to what his uncle, Izzat Hamidi, told AFP.

The child was suffering from "crushing limbs" syndrome, of which doctors working in northwestern Syria say that they have received many cases of it, including many children, following the earthquake that killed more than 46,000 people in Turkey and Syria, including 3,688 in Syria.

The syndrome results from pressure on the extremities for a period of more than 12 hours, which leads to interruption of blood circulation at the tissue level, and exposes the patient to amputation, kidney failure, and heart problems.

Raed al-Saleh, director of the White Helmets, which serves as the civil defense in the areas controlled by the opposition and jihadist factions in Idlib and its environs, said, "The world must stand with children and all those affected by mashing syndrome, and there should be action by the International Committee of the Red Cross and an urgent response to these cases."

He added that "hundreds of people affected by the earthquake suffer from this condition and are in need of advanced medical care. The medical sector is greatly exhausted and depleted" in the region.

Miraculously, the child Alp Arslan was pulled out alive after forty hours under the rubble. He was found in the lap of his father, who protected him with his body but died like his mother and two brothers.

"We tried a lot to save him with all the doctors, but he fell into multiple organ failure and sepsis... We made every effort, but the injury was fatal," said Dr. Moheeb Kaddour at Aqrabat Hospital in Idlib.

On Thursday evening, the local authorities in northern Syria transferred the nine-year-old Sham al-Sheikh Muhammad and her brother Omar (15) to Turkey for treatment for their "crushing limbs" syndrome. They are the first victims of the earthquake to be transferred from areas outside the control of Damascus to receive treatment outside the country.

A video clip documenting the rescue of Sham was published on social media, in which she appeared lying under the rubble, talking to the rescue personnel, asking for a bottle of water and suggesting to them how it could be pulled, or singing a song bearing her name with them.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The death toll among our people as a result of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria rose to 81, after the death of a Palestinian family consisting of three members, in addition to another Palestinian citizen, in the Turkish city of Antakya.

Last night, the Foreign Ministry announced that the death of Aisha Bakir, Abdullah Bakir, and Abdel Moeen Bakir had been confirmed in the city of Antakya, noting that they were Palestinian refugees in Syria, and had moved from Daraa camp to live in Turkey.

The "Foreign Ministry" suggested that the number of casualties among our people would increase due to the incomplete information available regarding the safety of all Palestinian families in the affected areas in both Turkey and Syria.

Yesterday, Thursday, rescue crews were able to recover the body of Doctor Youssef Majdi Darabieh from the Gaza Strip, in the Turkish city of Antakya, after he was lost for three consecutive days as a result of the earthquake, according to the Palestinian ambassador to Turkey, Faed Mustafa.

The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Syria and Turkey has risen to more than 22,000, while the search for survivors continues in an atmosphere of extreme cold.

About 19,000 people were killed in Turkey, and 3,507 in Syria, according to local authorities and medical sources, bringing the total number of victims to about 22,507 people.

Oftentimes, the political analysis of a phenomenon falls short of understanding its roots. It “rationalizes” it, looking into the causes of its formation, its context, and the dynamics of its development. However, it does not provide a healing approach that, let’s say, is creative, that rises to the level of the phenomenon itself. In the Palestinian case, you find hundreds of sober political analyzes and studies, some of which are insightful and insightful, but they cannot simplify for you, in a way that convinces and astonishes you, the phenomenon of the smiles of the Palestinian boys upon their arrest (did you see the laughter of Muhammad Aliwat, the perpetrator of the Silwan operation, as they led him away handcuffed?) Or That brilliant flight of the stone throwers as if they separated from the earthly and its conditions, and the political and its constraints, at the same time, to throw a stone at an Israeli soldier ready in the vicinity with his automatic rifle and sunglasses, and his indifference to his victim on the other side of the fight.

It is true that the extreme thrust of the body makes it physically lighter and so it rises off the ground, but this is an explanation for the apparent event, and the question is about the mighty force that made the boy fly while throwing stones at the Israeli soldier, and there is no convincing explanation for that unless it is poetic, or a search for the "Palestinian personality". I think that Khairi Alqam, the perpetrator of the Jerusalem operation at last, and before him Uday al-Tamimi, the perpetrator of the Ma’aleh Adumim settlement operation, east of Jerusalem on the 19th of last October, are two examples of the complexity and intractability of the Palestinian situation, not because the Palestinian is not like the rest of the people, but rather because his condition itself is exceptional in terms of By all accounts, if we assume that Alqam, who was named after his grandfather who was killed by a Jewish settler three years before the birth of the grandson, carried out his operation in revenge for his grandfather, and this is possible, then what links the event to the storming of Jenin a day before the implementation of the operation, so is it revenge as well? And if that was the case, how did it come to a mere young man (21 years old) to avenge his personal past and the present of his people at the same time?! This parallel between what is personal and national among the Palestinians is not surprising, rather it is at the heart of their lives and against their will, but to combine the two motives in one act becomes brilliant, almost genius in its timing and connotations, and fails to dissect it any analyzes of the brutality of the Israeli right in exchange for despair. Which turns into a bomb that may explode at any moment, this is a kind of stereotypical analysis, and it is correct but not sufficient, unless it is accompanied by a semantic approach, poetic if you like, to this case only, and then linking it to similar cases whose accumulation almost turns into a pattern that makes understanding easier. in a broader context.

See what happened? The young man drives around in a car he drives near the Nabi Yacoub settlement, then gets off carrying a gun. He shoots repeatedly at those he encounters there. He changes the barrel of the pistol more than once, and the result is confirmed injuries that killed seven settlers and injured more than ten, which means that he is a professional or well trained (when did he do that?), Then he encounters a woman who begs him not to kill her, so he tells her that he does not kill women, and that is not It means not only moral superiority, but also an outstanding ability to self-control and high professionalism that is not preoccupied with sub-goals that may hinder the achievement of the main goal. He does all this, and he's only twenty-one, and I don't think he's ever read Franz Fanon or Gramsci. In this intersection between reflecting in your person a coherent, high-level moral system that distinguishes between the legitimate goal and that which conflicts with your collective values on the one hand, and avenging your grandfather who was killed before you were born, and for the martyrs of your people who were killed the day before your operation, there is an amazing genius that is almost invisible. She believes, especially since the entire process is individual, and no organization or party behind it planned, coordinated, supported, and was keen on moral harmony and struggle legitimacy at the same time.

It is necessary for Mahmoud Darwish or someone in his level and there is not yet, for writing to rise to the level of an event like this, so we understand him and we understand the instinctive impulse that another young man made, Uday al-Tamimi, the perpetrator of the Shuafat camp checkpoint operation, the handsome young man as if he was a movie star, with his shaved head , who was chased by the occupation forces for 11 days, and his comrades shaved the hair of their heads like him to mislead these forces, so he returned to the settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim, attacking its guards. He shoots, and they respond, but he does not back down, rather he continues to shoot until he becomes martyred: he stares at death and dances with it, and that is a metaphor that makes that young man himself a short sentence, but it is very intense, and packed with connotations in a poem that only Palestinians write with their blood for a century and more.

Brussels - (AFP) - European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called on Israel to use lethal force only as a "last resort", condemning "strongly" the two attacks carried out by Palestinians Friday and Saturday.

Two Israelis were injured on Saturday morning in a shooting attack in East Jerusalem carried out by a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who was also shot by the police, the day after an attack on a synagogue left seven dead and the perpetrator was killed.

"The EU is fully aware of Israel's legitimate security concerns and justified by the recent terrorist attacks, but it should be emphasized that lethal force should only be used as a last resort, when unavoidable to protect lives," Borrell said in a statement.

"The European Union is very concerned about the escalation of tensions in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We call on both parties to do their best to de-escalate and relaunch coordination at the security level, which is essential to prevent further violence," he added.

These attacks come in light of the escalation in the confrontations in the Palestinian territories after the bloody raids of the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank, the most violent in nearly twenty years, followed by the firing of rockets by Palestinian factions from the Gaza Strip, to which Israel responded by launching raids on the besieged sector controlled by Hamas.

Borrell recalled that "at least nine Palestinians were killed Thursday in Jenin and more than 20 were wounded during an operation by Israeli forces," which raises "the number of Palestinian deaths in the West Bank to 30 since the beginning of the year."

"Last year, Israeli forces killed more than 150 people in the West Bank, including 30 children, in a toll that is the highest since the end of the second intifada in 2005," he added.

In a separate statement, Borrell said the EU was "appalled by the shocking terrorist attack" that took place on Friday near a synagogue and "by the attack that took place on Saturday morning in East Jerusalem".

"The European Union strongly condemns these senseless acts of violence and hatred. These terrible events once again reflect the urgent need to reverse this spiral of violence and to make meaningful efforts to re-launch peace negotiations. We call on all parties not to respond to provocations," he added.

Aden - (AFP) - With the phrase "to be or not to be", Prince Hamlet of Denmark addresses himself in the dialect of the people of Aden in southern Yemen, in a rare theatrical performance that revives the hopes of many for the return of cultural life to the country.

Between moral dilemmas and the bitter struggle for power, the tragic play by British writer William Shakespeare resonated widely with Yemenis living in a country torn apart by a fierce war eight years ago.

In partnership with the British Council, the ten performances of the play have achieved remarkable success in the southern city, and all tickets are sold out.

The play is presented by the local "Khaleej Aden" troupe, which was founded in 2005, and is directed by Yemeni film director Amr Gamal.

Jamal had directed the movie "Ten Days Before the Wedding", which is one of the few Yemeni cinematic works in recent years.

"Most of the reactions are beautiful and promising," Jamal told AFP. He believed that "people are happy to work and do not leave the hall until the end of the play, despite it being long," as it lasts three full hours.

Jamal pointed out that the bet was "on limited success because it is a play inspired by international literature, and this type of work usually has a limited audience and is not widely admired by the general public."

The play was presented in the dialect of the people of Aden, and an actor stood on the stage wearing traditional Yemeni dress.

The play was shown in the Legislative Council building in Aden, which dates back to the days of British colonialism.

In the 1930s, Great Britain declared Aden a "Crown Colony".

The effects of British colonialism are still present in the city, including the "Little Big Ben", which is no longer working.

Assistant director Marwan Mafraq describes the play as "an old dream, and we were able to achieve it after many years."

"It was not just a play by Shakespeare, but a restoration of a historical landmark," Mafraq said after a performance in Aden last week.


The assistant director considers that the space for the artistic work is "very narrow. The reason for this is the general situation of the country and the lack of productive resources in the cultural and artistic field."

The war weighed heavily on all aspects of life in Yemen, including the cultural and artistic aspects.

A conflict has been taking place in Yemen between a government supported since 2015 by a Saudi-led military coalition, and the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, who control large areas in the north and west of the country, as well as the capital, Sanaa, since the start of their offensive in 2014.

The threat of starvation threatens millions of Yemenis, while thousands, including many residents of areas under Houthi control, need urgent medical treatment that is not available in the country whose infrastructure has been destroyed. About 80 percent of Yemen's 30 million people depend on aid to survive.
The team was trained through the "Zoom" video communication technology for two years by specialists from the famous Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London and the Volcano Theater in Wales.
The British Council affirmed its commitment to "empowering and building the capacities of young Yemenis to express themselves creatively," noting that "the Yemeni version of Hamlet embodies this commitment."
The Yemeni actor Omar Mojled plays several roles, including the role of "Guildenstern", Hamlet's friend. He says that the preparations took two years.
"The script was modified from Shakespeare into Arabic and then into the Adenic dialect," he added.
"We always hope, as artists, that cultural, theatrical and cinematic works will be available at a great level that will contribute to highlighting Yemeni culture," says Mujlad.
Nour Zakir embodies the character of Ophelia, explaining, "The play is not easy at all." Zakir admits that practicing acting is difficult in a conservative society.
She continues, "I faced many difficulties as a girl in Aden (...) my family did not object to the issue, but it was difficult because I could not reconcile my studies with acting, and society does not accept this thing."
The play is a rare opportunity for the residents to entertain themselves after the war burdened them.
Heba Al-Bakri came to see the theatrical performance, saying, "We are a people who are eager for these things and we hope to always repeat them. Our people always feel distressed and tired and they need to entertain themselves," noting, "We hope that many things will open and return to theaters again and again."
Fadi Abdel-Malik, a university student, wishes to "pay more attention to art and music, as it cultivates love and peace in Yemen."
