[00:01:00] on the road leading to Khirbet Yarza,
[00:01:04] east of Tubas, amidst fears that it would be a new nucleus
[00:01:07] for a settlement outpost. As for Bethlehem, the occupation forces

[00:01:46] which approved yesterday the allocation of
[00:01:50] with his personal hundreds of millions of shekels, of course, for the benefit of

[00:01:56] during the election recess to approve
[00:02:00] the allocation of hundreds of millions of shekels for the benefit of this
[00:02:02] settlement expansion. This committee discussed allocating more
[00:02:06] than 330 million shekels as part of a long list of
[00:02:11] this budgets that had not been fully approved in a session held
[00:02:15] late last week. If this amount is approved, the budget of the

[00:02:22] level of 821 million
[00:02:25] shekels, in addition to

[00:03:12] Lebanon for
[00:03:12] 22 times in that at the same time, the adoption Arana, east of Jenin, and we talk about the distribution

[00:03:19] that the occupation will raze the city, less than 24 Come to hours after 40
[00:03:22] citizens were forced to evacuate their shops in this
[00:03:25] Come to area. The head of the Arana Village Council,
[00:03:28] Mahmoud Al-Saadi, confirmed that the occupation's notice for three chalets
[00:03:32] between Arana and Kharruba neighborhood
[00:03:36] these houses so that citizens working on the initial plan for to stop construction in them and to pave the way
[00:03:37] Palestine this morning. for their demolition indicated
[00:03:38] the strenuous efforts made by that the occupation's pretext was the presence of these buildings in an archaeological area
[00:03:41] and their proximity to the bypass road
[00:03:43] whether assassinations or shelling connecting with the settlements of Jenin
[00:03:46] and Kedim. Al-Saadi expressed the fear of his village's residents that these
[00:03:50] notices and threats and the halt of construction would extend to their homes
[00:03:53] after the main entrances
[00:03:55] in the occupied West Bank: were closed. Also, in turn, the head
[00:03:59] of the Eastern Abda Council,
[00:04:01] illegal construction in Burhan Adhamta, stated
[00:04:03] Area C of that the owners of 25 commercial and industrial facilities and agricultural
[00:04:07] greenhouses continued
[00:04:09] agreement due to what day after receiving notices
[00:04:12] in the village, knocked to demolish them
[00:04:14] on doors,
[00:04:15] of the village. within this
[00:04:16] week.
[00:04:20] We remain with Al-Hayat Al-Jadida newspaper and talk about
[00:04:23] the occupation's destruction of a memorial in
[00:04:26] Tulkarm city and Kafr al-Labad town,
[00:04:30] east of the city, where the occupation
[00:04:32] wealth than any forces yesterday destroyed two memorial monuments for martyrs
[00:04:36] the occupation has started opening and national figures in Tulkarm city
[00:04:39] simultaneously with the continuation of this
[00:04:43] is better some aggression on the city and its camp. Sources reported that the occupation forces
[00:04:46] destroyed the memorial for leader George Habash, located in the middle of
[00:04:50] Al-I'lami roundabout in the northern neighborhood of the city,
[00:04:53] and the memorial for martyr Ziad Da'as in Khaddour University Street in the western
[00:04:57] it is a very important station neighborhood of the city. This comes in light of
[00:05:00] the continuation of this aggression on Tulkarm city and its two camps, Tulkarm
[00:05:03] and Nur Shams, which resulted in the martyrdom, injury,
[00:05:06] and arrest of dozens of citizens and widespread
[00:05:10] destruction of infrastructure
[00:05:11] service in the and public and private properties, in addition to
[00:05:14] the displacement of thousands of citizens from the two camps
[00:05:17] and continuous incursions into the city, its suburbs,
[00:05:20] and its towns, and the tightening of military
[00:05:23] measures at its entrances
[00:05:25] and surroundings.
[00:05:28] We now go to Al-Ayyam newspaper and also follow what
[00:05:32] was issued by the United Nations. We talk
[00:05:36] about 71
[00:05:38] billion dollars to cover reconstruction in the
[00:05:41] sector in Gaza, where a joint statement
[00:05:45] issued by the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union revealed that
[00:05:49] the actual cost of recovery and reconstruction in the sector
[00:05:52] has risen to more than 71 billion dollars to cover
[00:05:55] these needs over 10 years, with
[00:05:59] the necessity of providing a quarter of the bill, approximately 26
[00:06:03] billion dollars, in the first 18 months to restore essential
[00:06:06] services and repair
[00:06:10] infrastructure. This financial cost is distributed between
[00:06:13] 35 billion dollars as direct material damage
[00:06:16] to infrastructure, residential and public buildings, and 22 billion dollars
[00:06:20] as economic and social losses resulting
[00:06:23] from the complete halt of productive movement in
[00:06:27] the besieged sector. At the sector level, the housing sector
[00:06:32] amounting to 16 billion dollars, as a result of
[00:06:35] more than 370 thousand housing units
[00:06:39] being completely or partially destroyed,
[00:06:43] which represents destruction exceeding
[00:06:45] 81% of the total of these
[00:06:48] buildings. Regarding the trade sector,
[00:06:51] we are talking about more than 8 billion dollars, followed by
[00:06:55] the health sector, with about 8 billion dollars
[00:06:58] to address more than half of the hospitals being out of
[00:07:02] service, then the transportation sector. On the service side,
[00:07:05] the figures also show the extent of the destruction, with more than 90%
[00:07:09] of schools, universities, water stations, and infrastructure
[00:07:13] damaged, in addition to 85% of the electricity
[00:07:16] network in the Gaza Strip being destroyed. This makes recovery, of course, largely
[00:07:20] dependent on rebuilding this
[00:07:23] entire living
[00:07:25] environment. We remain with Al-Ayyam
[00:07:29] newspaper and talk about what is happening in Al-Walaja village
[00:07:32] in Bethlehem, where what is known as the Civil
[00:07:35] Administration issued during the past four months
[00:07:38] 72 unprecedented executive orders
[00:07:41] against residential and other buildings in the western
[00:07:45] part of Al-Walaja village, most of which are classified
[00:07:47] as Area C. The left-wing Ir Amim association,
[00:07:51] specializing in Jerusalem affairs, said in a report issued
[00:07:54] by it that many of these targeted buildings
[00:07:58] contain multi-story residential units, some reaching 10
[00:08:01] floors, which puts dozens of families
[00:08:04] at risk of losing their homes.
[00:08:07] It also added that since the beginning of this year, approximately five
[00:08:11] homes have already been demolished, which confirms that these
[00:08:14] new orders pose a real
[00:08:17] threat of widespread demolitions.
[00:08:20] It also followed
[00:08:24] of this detailed plan for the village, which would have enabled residents
[00:08:27] to obtain building permits,
[00:08:30] has been frozen for more than five
[00:08:33] years.
[00:08:35] It also stated that in the part of Al-Walaja village
[00:08:38] annexed to Jerusalem, where demolitions have continued since
[00:08:41] 2016, the Planning Committee
[00:08:44] in the Jerusalem area stopped
[00:08:47] this area, despite
[00:08:50] Al-Walaja residents over a decade, and despite the acknowledgment of
[00:08:54] various Israeli parties that the plan
[00:08:57] meets the required planning standards.
[00:09:00] In these details, it also pointed
[00:09:04] out that during the past four months,
[00:09:07] the Israeli Civil Administration issued 72 unprecedented orders
[00:09:11] against what is called
[00:09:16] Al-Walaja. It said that in addition to the demolition of 10 homes
[00:09:19] during the past two years, this indicates a radical shift
[00:09:23] in Israeli enforcement policy towards Area C
[00:09:28] القريه
[00:09:33] We now go, dear viewers, to the latest news in this news bulletin from
[00:09:36] Al-Quds newspaper. We talk about continuous warnings of
[00:09:40] a humanitarian catastrophe. One
[00:09:43] million Gazans face acute hunger, and medicine shortages
[00:09:47] have reached more than 50%. This is what
[00:09:50] Social Development Minister Samah Hamad announced, that about
[00:09:54] 1.4 million citizens in the Gaza Strip face severe
[00:09:57] levels of food insecurity, which poses
[00:10:01] a direct threat to the lives of two-thirds of the sector's
[00:10:04] residents. She explained during a press conference that these shocking
[00:10:07] figures reflect the depth of this humanitarian crisis.
[00:10:09] She also pointed out that the results issued by the Integrated Food
[00:10:13] Security Phase Classification report indicate that more than
[00:10:16] 212,000 people have already entered the food
[00:10:20] emergency phase. The minister also warned
[00:10:24] that the slight improvement
[00:10:27] mean the end of the catastrophe, but rather it is a temporary result of the continued
[00:10:30] flow of some humanitarian aid. She stressed
[00:10:34] that any decline in the pace of aid trucks entering will return
[00:10:37] the situation to unprecedented catastrophic levels,
[00:10:40] emphasizing that the occupation
[00:10:43] practices a systematic starvation policy against
[00:10:46] civilians.
[00:10:49] For his part, the UN Resident Coordinator,
[00:10:52] Ramez Al-Kubrov, explained that
[00:10:55] 67% of Gaza's residents are still living in Phase
[00:10:59] 3 or above of food
[00:11:02] insecurity. In a related context,
[00:11:05] the World Food Programme representative, Sean Hughes, revealed that the program
[00:11:09] currently covers the needs of about 75% of the population through
[00:11:13] food aid. He also confirmed that this report was based
[00:11:16] on the largest nutritional survey
[00:11:19] aggression, which provides an accurate
[00:11:22] and harsh picture of the extent of the daily suffering experienced
[00:11:25] by the
[00:14:16] today in Israeli newspapers are
[00:14:19] all about the war on
[00:14:22] Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:14:25] And also, on the Israeli domestic scene,
[00:14:27] and the Likud party primaries.
[00:14:30] But Yedioth
[00:14:33] Ahronoth's main headline
[00:14:36] is the missile crisis
[00:14:39] in the United States. It has almost
[00:14:43] used all
[00:14:46] its missiles in Iran, despite
[00:14:49] US President Trump's claim that
[00:14:53] his country has more
[00:14:57] other country in the world. Sources who spoke
[00:15:01] to Reuters news agency claimed
[00:15:04] that the missiles were almost
[00:15:08] completely used up, especially
[00:15:11] the precision surface-to-surface missiles
[00:15:14] in Iran. The New York Times published that
[00:15:18] Iran and Oman have reached
[00:15:22] an almost complete agreement
[00:15:25] meaning that the Strait of
[00:15:29] Hormuz will be opened without any interference
[00:15:32] or involvement from the United States.
[00:15:35] And yesterday, a new round of
[00:15:39] negotiations between Lebanon
[00:15:43] and Israel took place in Rome.
[00:15:45] There are fundamental disagreements
[00:15:48] about the situation in Lebanon. Lebanon demands
[00:15:52] a full Israeli withdrawal. But
[00:15:56] Israel wants
[00:15:59] monitoring and no withdrawal at this stage. In
[00:16:03] another piece of news in her newspaper about what is happening
[00:16:08] in southern Lebanon, but there are
[00:16:11] major differences between Lebanese
[00:16:15] Prime Minister Nawaf Salam
[00:16:18] and Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem,
[00:16:21] who described the negotiations
[00:16:25] in Rome as a disgrace
[00:16:28] and an insult to Lebanon, which
[00:16:32] has become an Israeli lackey,
[00:16:35] as he said, and ignores
[00:16:39] its interests. But Nawaf
[00:16:42] Salam responded to him,
[00:16:45] and Salam confirmed,
[00:16:48] according to Yedioth Ahronoth, that
[00:16:51] Hezbollah is the reason for
[00:16:54] what is happening in southern Lebanon. They entered
[00:16:57] a one-sided war without
[00:17:01] the approval of the Lebanese government.
[00:17:05] New instructions
[00:17:08] after army leaders claimed
[00:17:11] they had not received any new
[00:17:14] instructions to cease fire.
[00:17:18] The Chief of Staff
[00:17:20] issued instructions that assassinations
[00:17:24] can only be carried out
[00:17:27] approval. This decision
[00:17:31] came after the United
[00:17:34] States intervened
[00:17:36] and demanded that Israel
[00:17:39] stop assassinations and military
[00:17:43] operations. Of course,
[00:17:48] matter still has a lot of controversy,
[00:17:52] but it seems that the American pressure
[00:17:56] had positive results
[00:17:58] on the Israeli stance
[00:18:01] regarding the Gaza Strip. And regarding
[00:18:05] the internal Likud
[00:18:08] the war on every vote. The disciplinary
[00:18:11] court of the Likud party ruled
[00:18:14] that ministers and Knesset members
[00:18:18] cannot
[00:18:21] seats in the districts during the primaries.
[00:18:25] This means that senior
[00:18:28] Likud party officials,
[00:18:32] ministers and Knesset
[00:18:35] members, will find themselves
[00:18:38] out of it
[00:18:42] elections because the party decided
[00:18:45] to grant Netanyahu eight
[00:18:49] seats. Of course, he
[00:18:51] decides who will fill
[00:18:55] these positions. Therefore, they will pay
[00:18:58] the price for their approval
[00:19:01] of Netanyahu's request or Benjamin
[00:19:04] Netanyahu's proposal.
[00:19:07] Netanyahu, who has been trying hard in the recent
[00:19:11] period to recruit
[00:19:13] new personalities to the Likud
[00:19:17] list, but he failed
[00:19:20] miserably and was unable to recruit any
[00:19:24] person, any Israeli personality
[00:19:28] to join the party.
[00:19:31] I mean, no one wants to join
[00:19:34] Netanyahu. That is,
[00:19:37] practically, these are
[00:19:41] the people who are guaranteed
[00:19:44] to enter the Knesset, but they refuse
[00:19:48] that. And leaders in the Likud
[00:19:50] party, who will find
[00:19:53] themselves outside the list, said, "We stood with him,
[00:19:57] and after October
[00:20:00] 7th, but he is
[00:20:03] ungrateful." This means that
[00:20:08] they have now discovered that Netanyahu is ungrateful.
[00:20:11] In my opinion, this means
[00:20:15] they seem to have
[00:20:19] political naivety and how
[00:20:21] much they know about Benjamin
[00:20:25] Netanyahu, who
[00:20:27] from every ten Fridays,
[00:20:30] nine of them he lies.
[00:20:33] And in the picture, as
[00:20:35] you can see, the soldiers.
[00:20:38] The report says that three out of every four
[00:20:42] soldiers injured during the last
[00:20:45] war return to
[00:20:49] army. The caricature in the newspaper
[00:20:52] Arutz
[00:20:53] today,
[00:20:56] the former head of Mossad received
[00:20:59] an offer to be
[00:21:03] the CEO of one of
[00:21:06] the major American high-tech
[00:21:09] companies. And
[00:21:13] of course,
[00:21:16] the drawing.
[00:21:20] The caricature, he is of course appointing and saying, "I have
[00:21:23] a candidate for the position of CEO,
[00:21:26] Ahmed Nejat." I mean, practically, they
[00:21:30] are making fun of Barnaby
[00:21:33] who
[00:21:36] claimed that Ahmed Nejat
[00:21:39] was recruited to take over
[00:21:43] leadership in Iran. But it seems
[00:21:47] that this was also a failure.
[00:21:50] Maariv newspaper: After Lebanon, after
[00:21:54] it imposed on Israel, Trump
[00:21:57] ties Netanyahu's hands also in
[00:22:00] the Gaza Strip. The end of the
[00:22:04] assassination season. International pressure to move
[00:22:08] to the second phase
[00:22:09] of
[00:22:12] the Gaza agreement.
[00:22:15] Of course, it
[00:22:20] is the matter, and now American
[00:22:24] pressure and international pressure on Israel to stop
[00:22:27] assassinations, as the main headline
[00:22:31] says, "The end of the assassination season."
[00:22:35] The Chief of Staff clarified that
[00:22:38] the army command in Gaza received
[00:22:42] instructions that assassinations require
[00:22:45] a decision from the Chief of Staff
[00:22:49] only, and that the policy
[00:22:52] is tightened based on the instructions
[00:22:55] of the political leadership.
[00:22:58] What they are doing in Gaza is
[00:23:02] based on the instructions of the political
[00:23:05] leadership.
[00:23:09] And the mediators in this issue,
[00:23:11] Qatar,
[00:23:15] Turkey, and Egypt, issued
[00:23:18] a statement condemning the Israeli
[00:23:22] military operations
[00:23:25] that are continuing in the Gaza Strip,
[00:23:28] and considered that a violation
[00:23:30] of the ceasefire agreement,
[00:23:33] and warned that these
[00:23:36] military operations could
[00:23:39] frustrate the transition to the second
[00:23:42] phase of Trump's plan
[00:23:45] for the reconstruction of the Gaza
[00:23:49] Strip and the agreement to end
[00:23:54] the Strip. Last weekend,
[00:23:57] the Israeli occupation army shelled
[00:24:02] the Strip. Maariv reports that 28
[00:24:06] Palestinians were killed, but they did not
[00:24:09] mention who they were: children,
[00:24:13] women, children.
[00:24:16] Only numbers.
[00:24:19] However, these military
[00:24:22] operations will only stop
[00:24:25] if the Chief of Staff issues
[00:24:29] orders to carry them out,
[00:24:33] in the Strip.
[00:24:36] And there is pressure on Israel to stop
[00:24:40] these military operations.
[00:24:42] Another piece of news from the village of Jaloud
[00:24:45] Jewish terrorists carried out...
[00:24:49] They don't write terrorists, they write settlers,
[00:24:53] but I always reiterate that they are not
[00:24:56] settlers, but rather terrorists.
[00:24:59] They moved between houses
[00:25:04] and burned cars. There's a picture of
[00:25:08] burnt cars.
[00:25:11] The opening of the Strait of Hormuz, or
[00:25:14] the procrastination. In Washington, they
[00:25:18] announce another
[00:25:20] near agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz
[00:25:24] for free commercial movement.
[00:25:27] In Tehran, they say,
[00:25:31] "We will demand payment for passage
[00:25:34] through the Strait." The American military
[00:25:37] report states that the majority of
[00:25:40] its stock of interceptor
[00:25:42] missiles and precision
[00:25:46] surface-to-surface missiles has been used.
[00:25:50] A very new round of negotiations
[00:25:54] in Rome between Israel and Lebanon. Lebanon
[00:25:58] demands a complete withdrawal, and Israel
[00:26:01] is only concerned with monitoring
[00:26:05] mechanisms, monitoring the implementation, monitoring
[00:26:09] what is happening now. There is
[00:26:12] another piece of news
[00:26:15] that the occupation soldiers in southern
[00:26:17] Lebanon have connected
[00:26:21] their phones to the Lebanese phone network
[00:26:24] and are using a Lebanese SIM
[00:26:27] card, and this
[00:26:30] is considered dangerous.
[00:32:54] The caricature in Maariv newspaper
[00:32:59] in the Likud. Netanyahu
[00:33:02] asked me about that. So here
[00:33:05] he wants to secure positions for specific
[00:33:08] individuals, but he asked me and no one asked
[00:33:12] Netanyahu. That is, Netanyahu failed
[00:33:16] miserably in recruiting
[00:33:19] important
[00:33:22] figures to the Likud
[00:33:25] in these
[00:33:26] elections. I move on to Arutz
[00:33:30] newspaper. Arutz newspaper talks about Lebanon,
[00:33:33] and this is a very important matter. There is serious
[00:33:37] talk, as the pictures.
[00:33:40] A picture before and after the Israeli
[00:33:44] occupation. I mean, before and after,
[00:33:47] complete destruction. The main news story says:
[00:33:51] "Demolition of roads
[00:33:54] and military sites in southern
[00:33:57] Lebanon." Satellite images show
[00:34:00] how the Israeli occupation army
[00:34:04] is positioned in Lebanon. The army
[00:34:07] occupied 600 kilometers, and one of
[00:34:10] the military bases was
[00:34:14] built 5 km
[00:34:17] border with
[00:34:20] official said, "We received instructions
[00:34:23] to prepare to stay in
[00:34:27] at least a year."
[00:34:31] And 24 Lebanese
[00:34:34] villages were completely razed,
[00:34:37] as satellite images
[00:34:40] show, and as
[00:34:43] Security Minister Katz announced
[00:34:47] a few days ago. Also,
[00:34:51] this is evidence that what Israel did
[00:34:54] in southern Lebanon was the destruction
[00:34:57] of villages near the border,
[00:35:01] or nothing was left
[00:35:04] of them. And assassinations
[00:35:08] in Gaza will only be carried out
[00:35:11] by a decision of the Chief of Staff, and
[00:35:15] with Israeli pressure, the agreement with
[00:35:18] Hamas was reopened, and there are doubts
[00:35:22] whether this will be implemented.
[00:35:26] Israeli doubts and Israeli manipulation
[00:35:29] and Israeli pressure on the Peace
[00:35:33] Council, which will manage
[00:35:36] the Gaza Strip. The Israeli political
[00:35:40] leadership doubted
[00:35:43] the possibility that Hamas would
[00:35:46] agree to disarm. This is
[00:35:50] the biggest proof that the political leadership
[00:35:53] was not prepared for that.
[00:35:57] I mean, they were surprised that Hamas agreed to disarm
[00:36:00] and the other Palestinian factions.
[00:36:03] I mean, they were surprised
[00:36:06] and didn't know how to react.
[00:36:10] So Netanyahu started looking for
[00:36:14] other things to thwart
[00:36:17] the agreement in the Gaza Strip.
[00:36:21] The hope of the agreement turned, as Jacky
[00:36:24] Khoury writes, into the awakening of the people of the
[00:36:29] to the more painful
[00:36:32] reality. In Gaza, they
[00:36:35] hoped for reconstruction. and rehabilitation from
[00:36:38] scratch, but during this
[00:36:40] period, the Israeli bombing
[00:36:43] resumed. The Security Council
[00:36:47] struggled to adapt
[00:36:50] its position to Benjamin Netanyahu's position,
[00:36:53] as Jackie Khoury writes.
[00:36:57] He adds, now the residents of the Gaza
[00:37:01] Strip have lost confidence in the council's
[00:37:03] president, Maldanov.
[00:37:07] There is also news about the primary elections in the United
[00:37:10] States, especially in Michigan,
[00:37:13] where an Egyptian
[00:37:15] doctor is competing
[00:37:18] for the Democratic Party seat
[00:37:22] against the second
[00:37:25] candidate, whose
[00:37:27] name is Hila, if I'm
[00:37:31] not mistaken, and who is supported by AIPAC
[00:37:34] and the Zionist movement.
[00:37:37] The news says that the Arabs in Michigan
[00:37:41] want
[00:37:43] to strike AIPAC
[00:37:47] this time. The largest
[00:37:52] States in Michigan
[00:37:55] believes that if candidate
[00:37:59] Dr. Abdullah in the
[00:38:03] primary elections for the Senate within the Democratic
[00:38:06] Party, this
[00:38:10] will greatly affect AIPAC, which
[00:38:14] spent millions of dollars
[00:38:17] to defeat Mr. al-Sayyed and support
[00:38:21] the candidate
[00:38:24] who supports Zionism in Israel.
[00:38:28] This means that if AIPAC
[00:38:32] fails, as happened in
[00:38:35] New York with their attempt to defeat
[00:38:39] Modani, this means a blow
[00:38:43] that is not severe, but a knockout blow
[00:38:46] to the Zionist
[00:38:49] States. The cartoon in Haaretz
[00:38:53] newspaper also
[00:38:57] expresses President Trump's
[00:39:00] position on
[00:39:02] Israel. Trump's picture is a large,
[00:39:05] huge one. It says in Hebrew,
[00:39:09] "Gaza," and in English,
[00:39:13] it says, "We reached an important
[00:39:16] or beautiful
[00:39:19] agreement." "It's a scheme,"
[00:39:22] written in English letters,
[00:39:25] "a scheme with Hezbollah."
[00:39:27] With Hamas, I mean,
[00:39:31] Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir,
[00:39:34] and Smotrich look at
[00:39:38] him with surprise. He tells them,
[00:39:42] "We
[00:39:45] have reached an agreement with Hamas."
[00:41:04] So, dear viewers, we now go to follow what
[00:41:07] is happening in the village of Nahalin, southwest
[00:41:10] of Bethlehem. We are talking about an incursion
[00:41:13] by the occupation forces into the town and the beginning
[00:41:17] of the demolition of two houses in this village.
[00:41:21] Yes, Diaa, and this targeting falls within a previous decision
[00:41:24] affecting 14 houses and establishments in several
[00:41:28] areas in Nahalin. The occupation has currently started implementing
[00:41:31] some of them. So, we follow more details with our correspondent
[00:41:35] from Bethlehem,
[00:41:36] Hani Fanoun. Good morning,
[00:41:41] Hani. Good morning, Diaa, good morning, Hiba, good morning, all our dear viewers.
[00:41:45] The scene now in the town of Nahalin is the implementation of the occupation's
[00:41:47] decisions to demolish citizens' homes.
[00:41:51] Today, two homes are being demolished
[00:41:54] in the Wadi Al-Yasmeen and Qarn Al-Da'ames area in the southwest
[00:41:57] of the town. Also, there is an economic
[00:42:01] establishment that has been threatened with demolition. As of this moment,
[00:42:04] the occupation forces are doing, as
[00:42:08] you will see in the scene, they are demolishing
[00:42:12] one of
[00:42:14] In fact, they are demolishing both houses at the same time, as
[00:42:20] This house was inhabited by a family
[00:42:23] that was displaced a week ago due to the occupation's
[00:42:26] threats and the demolition of four houses two
[00:42:30] the town. What is happening here is a process of displacing
[00:42:34] citizens from their homes, emptying the lands
[00:42:37] of their owners, and naturally, these
[00:42:40] properties that are being targeted daily by the occupation
[00:42:43] with notices and then
[00:42:46] also with demolition,
[00:42:50] as you see in the scene, the occupation's intimidation
[00:42:53] and the great fear among
[00:42:56] the citizens as a result of the occupation's
[00:42:59] threats to evacuate homes. We are talking about
[00:43:03] these homes as part of 14 homes,
[00:43:06] four of which were demolished previously, as we mentioned.
[00:43:10] And two homes are being demolished at this time,
[00:43:14] and there are seven homes that have been evacuated,
[00:43:17] in addition to establishments. We are talking about a file
[00:43:20] consisting of 14 homes and establishments
[00:43:23] that are threatened with demolition. The citizens in
[00:43:27] several other areas have been informed, after they had evacuated
[00:43:30] their homes, they were informed that they would carry out the demolition
[00:43:34] next week. And this is a picture of the homes
[00:43:37] that were evacuated previously.
[00:43:40] The occupation, as I said
[00:43:43] earlier, warned the citizens in this area
[00:43:47] to evacuate them during this week
[00:43:50] to be demolished at the beginning of next
[00:43:53] week. The occupation is terrorizing
[00:43:56] the citizens in these occupation and settlement
[00:43:59] plans that target what remains of the lands of
[00:44:02] Nahalin from
[00:44:05] large settlement
[00:44:08] In the scene, we see how the occupation army is heavily deployed
[00:44:12] throughout the town
[00:44:14] to secure this crime, this massacre that it is committing
[00:44:18] against our people. The citizens of Nahalin,
[00:44:20] who took upon themselves the responsibility
[00:44:26] the area and expanding
[00:44:29] construction in the town of Nahalin, due to the scarcity
[00:44:31] of land, and also
[00:44:35] the occupation is doing to restrict the surroundings of this town.
[00:44:39] This house that we see in the scene. The occupation forces demolished part
[00:44:42] of it, and a short while ago, the demolition
[00:44:47] However, it is expected that they will complete the demolition
[00:44:51] after demolishing the other house, as
[00:44:54] our calls with citizens in this area told us
[00:44:59] this house to the ground. This is also a bad omen
[00:45:03] from the occupation that
[00:45:07] is demolishing these houses
[00:45:10] extensively, destroying their contents,
[00:45:13] destroying everything in
[00:45:16] cannot benefit from what remains of
[00:45:19] these houses. This is
[00:45:22] a systematic occupation and settlement policy to
[00:45:26] oppress citizens in the town of Nahalin, as they
[00:45:29] are bulldozing lands around this town to expand
[00:45:32] settlements, Beitar Illit settlement, and also there
[00:45:35] are settlements spreading on the strategic mountain peaks around
[00:45:39] this town. So this town has become embroiled in the quagmire
[00:45:43] of settlement construction, and this is what is increasing
[00:45:46] the demolition process. Information indicates that
[00:45:50] there are 54 files
[00:45:53] in Nahalin. Nahalin is
[00:45:55] threatened with demolition
[00:45:58] and is pending before the occupation courts.
[00:46:02] These files are very old, dating back years, and are being followed
[00:46:06] up by citizens. They pay large and exorbitant sums of
[00:46:09] money to secure their homes
[00:46:12] and properties. However,
[00:46:16] these files and exploiting this time, the election campaign period
[00:46:19] for the Israeli Knesset. We are also talking
[00:46:23] about the judicial recess at the occupation courts.
[00:46:25] The Civil Administration is active during these times,
[00:46:28] and as you know, the Civil Administration
[00:46:31] is run by the extremist Smotrich, and therefore
[00:46:37] for him at this time, for him and for other
[00:46:40] extremist ministers and the extremist government,
[00:46:43] of course, to demolish these houses,
[00:46:47] demolish establishments, expand settlement construction,
[00:46:50] announce the annexation of large areas,
[00:46:53] for example, to the Efrat settlement, for example,
[00:46:57] and also establish new settlement areas
[00:47:00] and legalize new settlements. This is a period
[00:47:03] that the occupation is exploiting to implement
[00:47:06] its plans, both on the ground
[00:47:09] in terms of settlement and within the Israeli
[00:47:13] Knesset and government. This has become
[00:47:16] the Palestinian home and the Palestinian family
[00:47:19] a means for Israeli propaganda.
[00:47:23] How, with the increasing displacement
[00:47:27] and the increasing oppression of the Palestinian
[00:47:30] citizen, this is what increases the votes
[00:47:33] for the Israeli lists
[00:47:38] in the Knesset. This is what is happening,
[00:47:40] of course, in the town of Nahalin and other villages and towns
[00:47:44] in all governorates. It is the demolition
[00:47:47] of homes and the displacement of their owners from them.
[00:47:50] But we always used to hear
[00:47:52] that the message from these families is that they
[00:47:56] are steadfast on this land. They paid a heavy price to remain on this
[00:48:00] land, and this land is worth remaining on and preserving
[00:48:04] because it is the land of steadfastness and resilience and stability.
[00:48:08] And our people always, of course, who always talk about
[00:48:11] the field situation and the national
[00:48:15] situation, they preserve their land, what remains of their
[00:48:19] land, Diaa. Can you give us more details
[00:48:22] about where the owners of these houses went,
[00:48:25] and also regarding the incursions
[00:48:28] into Husan and Al-Khader,
[00:48:31] if you have any details?
[00:48:36] Yes, Diaa, these are almost daily incursions into these
[00:48:39] areas. Husan village has been subjected to repeated
[00:48:43] closures by the occupation in recent days,
[00:48:46] as well as incursions into homes, arrests, searches,
[00:48:50] and detentions of citizens for long hours. Husan
[00:48:54] village is considered the heart of the western Bethlehem
[00:48:57] countryside, as villages or towns in Nahalin,
[00:49:00] Al-Jaba'a, and Wadi Fuqin pass through it towards Bethlehem
[00:49:03] governorate. It has a main transportation hub
[00:49:07] and a vital center in the western Bethlehem countryside. Therefore,
[00:49:11] any obstruction by the occupation of roads and their closure,
[00:49:14] especially the main street, causes general chaos in the western
[00:49:18] Bethlehem countryside, in addition to
[00:49:21] the arrests that continue in this village.
[00:49:23] Also, citizens receive extended sentences,
[00:49:27] whether administrative or long prison sentences,
[00:49:30] as a result of these arrests and these accusations
[00:49:34] that the Israeli army makes against citizens in this village,
[00:49:37] in addition to what is happening in Al-Khader from incursions,
[00:49:41] which is also on the contact line with the settlement line
[00:49:44] 60 and the apartheid wall. The occupation's entry into these
[00:49:48] areas is almost daily. Yes, Hani, it is part of
[00:49:52] a colonial plan that the occupation is carrying out against Nahalin
