[00:00:22] in the Gaza Strip began yesterday under
[00:00:26] exceptional circumstances, after
[00:00:28] and popular participation, and was organized by a three-
[00:00:30] open to more year hiatus due to the war of extermination. Happy New Year to
[00:00:33] you on the occasion of our safe
[00:00:37] Iran is no longer measured but its connection to the land and blessed return. From here, the children of Gaza begin a new
[00:00:41] school year after three years of
[00:00:43] interruption due to the destructive Israeli war
[00:00:46] on Gaza, mixing the joy of
[00:00:50] extends to a struggle for the students with the weight of what the war
[00:00:53] left behind. September 19th marked the beginning and launch of the school year,
[00:00:57] a different model, as
[00:00:58] nearing the end of the war, but this beginning is the first beginning.
[00:01:01] Regarding this beginning, the students, teachers,
[00:01:05] and also
[00:01:07] as settler attacks are not the school principal felt happy that the students were able to
[00:01:12] the southern area of Earthmoving operations continue in be present and sit at their desks on this day. From
[00:01:15] citizens' land. This was in their chairs, after Washington wants an agreement that years of displacement
[00:01:18] and destruction, these students return to school,
[00:01:21] but not as they left it. There are no
[00:01:25] classrooms as there once were, but tents have become a substitute,
[00:01:28] and children,
[00:01:31] election round? This some of whom have lost their homes several marketing days this and loved ones,
[00:01:32] scenario is being discussed carry in their memories the traces of
[00:01:36] a harsh war. Today,
[00:01:38] I feel happy because we were cut off from school for
[00:01:46] and their presence in ground, and farms two whole years. Now, I feel happy because I returned to school after a long
[00:01:48] absence, because I want to
[00:01:51] with a direct impact on learn and start anew, to plant knowledge in my mind. Before
[00:01:54] the war, there were classrooms, and we used to go by bus. Now
[00:01:57] there are no buses or transportation. I feel happy
[00:02:01] after being cut off from school for two years. It's different from
[00:02:05] before the war. Before the war, we used to go by transportation and to schools,
[00:02:08] classrooms, but now it's tents and a difficult
[00:02:10] situation.
[00:02:13] Inside the school, the story of displacement has not ended.
[00:02:17] While children prepare for school, some
[00:02:20] families still use school classrooms as a place
[00:02:23] to live, as some of them refused
[00:02:26] to leave because
[00:02:29] provocative tours against there was no other place for them to go. After the occupation destroyed
[00:02:33] additional areas of their homes, in a scene that highlights the extent of the tragedy. Of course, there was a lot
[00:02:37] of educational loss in the students' academic
[00:02:41] almost constantly, level. As for the students, there
[00:02:44] is some discipline, but there is still the feeling of loss
[00:02:48] and the feeling of suffering that the students
[00:02:51] suffered in this situation we are in. There is still
[00:02:55] weakness, but thank God we are trying together.
[00:02:58] Figures from the United Nations Children's Fund
[00:03:01] (UNICEF) reveal the extent of the damage
[00:03:05] to the education system in the sector, as
[00:03:08] nearly 98%
[00:03:10] by preventing Palestinians from of school buildings were damaged,
[00:03:11] fear that this road will
[00:03:12] accessing trees located in while more than 93%
[00:03:15] the occupation's control over of them need full rehabilitation
[00:03:18] or reconstruction. The war may have changed
[00:03:21] the form of education, but it does not abolish children's right to
[00:03:25] learn. Amidst war, destruction,
[00:03:27] and tents, students return to their desks,
[00:03:32] family, who were burned in carrying their notebooks and dreams, and start
[00:03:37] and building roads and imposing anew. From Gaza, Omar Al-Dahoudi, Palestine
[00:03:39] TV. The European Union called on the United
[00:03:43] States of America to reconsider its decision
[00:03:47] to refuse
[00:03:49] that does not give it In the southern to grant visas to Mr.
[00:03:51] area of President Mahmoud Abbas and members of the Palestinian delegation to participate in the work
[00:03:54] of the United Nations General
[00:03:56] outcome. In Israel, the political Assembly at its 11th session
[00:03:59] in New York. The United Nations General Assembly
[00:04:02] voted last Thursday by a majority of
[00:04:05] 152 countries in favor of a resolution
[00:04:09] adopted by the United Nations General Assembly rejecting
[00:04:13] the American decision to prevent the Palestinian
[00:04:16] delegation from participating in the work
[00:04:20] specifically at the southern of the General
[00:04:20] Assembly.
[00:04:24] A report prepared by the National Office for the Defense of Land
[00:04:27] and Resistance to Settlement stated that the pace of settlement
[00:04:31] activities is escalating on the eve of the Israeli Knesset elections
[00:04:34] scheduled for
[00:04:36] Between preventing access and attacking the 26th of next
[00:04:38] month. On the eve of the Israeli Knesset elections
[00:04:41] scheduled for the 26th of
[00:04:45] next October, the pace of settlement
[00:04:48] projects in the West Bank and occupied
[00:04:51] Jerusalem is accelerating, in a scene where territorial expansion
[00:04:55] intertwines with political and electoral
[00:04:58] calculations. In the east. Ewan, the occupation authorities are preparing
[00:05:01] to open bids for the construction of
[00:05:04] 2167
[00:05:07] colonial units just two days before the elections.
[00:05:11] This will bring the number of approved
[00:05:15] to about
[00:05:17] 3400 units. In
[00:05:20] Ma'ale Adumim, a new project comprising
[00:05:23] 750 housing units
[00:05:26] is being promoted, including towers, some of which
[00:05:30] reach 31 stories. As for the Jordan Valley
[00:05:33] and the northern West Bank, the implementation of what is called the
[00:05:37] "Crimson Thread" is accelerating, which is based on orders
[00:05:41] to seize more than
[00:05:43] 1,000 dunams of Palestinian land
[00:05:46] and extends between the areas of Nablus
[00:05:50] and Tubas through vast agricultural
[00:05:53] and pastoral areas. In parallel,
[00:05:56] settlements and pastoral farms are expanding, while
[00:05:59] Israeli data indicates
[00:06:02] its control over more than 1.1 million
[00:06:06] dunams of West Bank land. In the southern
[00:06:09] West Bank, the occupation authorities opened
[00:06:12] a new settlement within the Gush
[00:06:15] Etzion bloc, making it the third to
[00:06:18] be announced in a week, while additional
[00:06:21] plans are being discussed that include hundreds of colonial
[00:06:25] units in the Jericho, Jenin,
[00:06:28] and Nablus areas. Concurrently,
[00:06:31] a report by the Institute for National Security Studies
[00:06:34] at Tel Aviv University warns of escalating settler
[00:06:38] violence, noting that around 66
[00:06:41] incidents were recorded and classified by the occupation
[00:06:44] authorities as "Jewish resistance
[00:06:47] crimes" during the first half of the current year.
[00:06:50] Settlement projects are expanding on the
[00:06:55] and outposts are expanding their area,
[00:06:58] and violence is escalating as Israel
[00:07:01] enters election season, leaving the West
[00:07:05] Bank and Jerusalem an open arena
[00:07:08] for new plans that are progressing on the ground
[00:07:11] in parallel with the intensifying political
[00:07:15] race. Ahmed Nazzal, Palestine
[00:07:18] TV. Settlers attacked Burqa village east of Ramallah and tried
[00:07:22] to burn a house. Our correspondent reported that
[00:07:25] settlers attacked the outskirts of the village and pelted a house with stones.
[00:07:29] They also set fire to the balcony of a house belonging
[00:07:32] to a citizen from the
[00:07:33] Sammareen family.
[00:07:39] Amidst continuous settler attacks on farmers,
[00:07:42] the olive harvest season in the West Bank this year is taking place under
[00:07:46] the weight of the occupation's decision to prevent
[00:07:49] citizens from reaching their trees and harvesting
[00:07:52] their crops. When an olive tree becomes
[00:07:56] a target, the targeting is no longer related to a crop
[00:08:00] that ripens in autumn, but to a relationship that spans generations
[00:08:04] between the Palestinian and his land. And before
[00:08:07] the baskets begin to fill with olives, the
[00:08:10] restrictions begin. The newspaper Israel Hayom said that
[00:08:14] the occupation army will change its policy this
[00:08:17] year towards the olive harvest season
[00:08:24] lands classified by Israel, the existing
[00:08:28] occupying power,
[00:08:30] as state lands, while work will be allowed in private
[00:08:34] lands according to prior security
[00:08:36] coordination. This measure, say Israeli occupation
[00:08:40] authorities, is aimed at reducing
[00:08:44] friction between Palestinians
[00:08:46] and settlers, but it comes at a season
[00:08:49] when farmers are accustomed to reaching
[00:08:52] their lands and harvesting their crops amidst continuous
[00:08:56] attacks on fields and olive pickers.
[00:08:59] In the 2024
[00:09:01] season,
[00:09:04] the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission
[00:09:08] documented 407 attacks against olive
[00:09:11] pickers. These attacks were divided between attacks carried out by the occupation
[00:09:15] army and settlers, and other
[00:09:17] joint attacks. Meanwhile, these attacks resulted in the destruction
[00:09:21] of about 4,000 olive trees. The numbers
[00:09:25] reveal an escalating trend from
[00:09:28] 136 attacks in the 2022
[00:09:31] season to
[00:09:34] 333 attacks in
[00:09:38] 2023,
[00:09:40] then 407 attacks in
[00:09:44] 2024.
[00:09:49] farmers, and destroying trees, equipment,
[00:09:52] and crops, the olive harvest
[00:09:56] process transforms from an agricultural season into
[00:09:58] a new test of the Palestinian's ability to remain on his
[00:10:02] land. In mid- October, the harvest
[00:10:05] season begins, and with it, the old
[00:10:09] question returns in a new guise.
[00:10:13] Who owns the land that bears fruit, and who has
[00:10:16] the right to access its trees?
[00:10:18] For when a farmer is prevented from accessing his crop,
[00:10:22] the loss is not only the olives.
[00:10:25] The land that is closed to its owners today
[00:10:29] becomes more vulnerable to becoming tomorrow
[00:10:32] areas without owners,
[00:10:35] so the olive season in Palestine
[00:10:39] is more than an economic season.
[00:10:41] It is an annual occasion to renew the connection
[00:10:44] to the land, and in the face of restrictions
[00:10:47] and attacks, every olive tree becomes
[00:10:50] a witness to its owners' attachment to it.
[00:10:54] A tree planted decades ago
[00:10:58] may be uprooted in minutes,
[00:11:02] is not uprooted with the same ease. And Said
[00:11:06] Sabeeh, Palestine TV.
[00:11:09] Citizens in Khirbet Umm or in
[00:11:13] Khirbet al-Marajim, south of Nablus, are subjected to continuous attacks by
[00:11:16] settler gangs who carry out
[00:11:20] most of their organized terrorism to force
[00:11:23] the residents to leave the area by force.
[00:11:27] Here, children and citizens do not live a normal life,
[00:11:32] a fleeting event, but a daily nightmare that haunts
[00:11:36] Palestinian families in Khirbet al-Marajim, south of Nablus,
[00:11:39] threatening their lives, security, and right to stay. Families
[00:11:43] who have lived here for many years cling to their land
[00:11:46] and homes despite the fear and repeated
[00:11:49] attacks, while the danger around them expands
[00:11:52] day after day. The main idea that the settlers are working on
[00:11:56] is to try to displace and deport people. They say it clearly: "You are here
[00:12:00] hindering our project. This is our land. Our age
[00:12:04] is greater than the age of the occupation. More than 300 years ago, our ancestors were on this land, approximately since
[00:12:07] 1860, 1842. There were
[00:12:11] Palestinian families living in Khirbet al-Marajim. This is history,
[00:12:15] even before the first settler migrations in 1882. We were already on
[00:12:18] this land." They came yesterday, and I was
[00:12:21] scared. My sister was scared, and
[00:12:25] when I was scared, I was scared because they had
[00:12:28] weapons and they wanted to burn the house down on us, and they wanted to burn the car.
[00:12:32] How would we go to school if they burned the car?
[00:12:35] How would we learn? How would we go and
[00:12:39] come? Several settler outposts surround Khirbet al-Marajim
[00:12:42] and besiege it from all directions, tightening the noose around it
[00:12:46] to force its residents to leave by force. Armed
[00:12:49] settlers are present among the houses and carry out
[00:12:54] the citizens. We live in this area,
[00:12:57] in a state of fear and anticipation.
[00:13:01] This anticipation is due to the presence of settler gangs and occupation forces
[00:13:06] day and night. They throw drones,
[00:13:09] they walk, they attack our homes. Last night, they tried to burn
[00:13:13] my car. They tried to assault my children. They sprayed gas on me.
[00:13:17] They sprayed gas on my wife. So we live here in a state
[00:13:20] of fear, in a state of anticipation. My children
[00:13:23] accompany me to and from school every day. I was forced to put them in
[00:13:26] nurseries outside Khirbet al-Marajim. Life in Khirbet al-Marajim has become
[00:13:30] an open battle for survival between strange settlers
[00:13:34] who try to steal the land and the place, and the owner of the land
[00:13:37] who lives a feeling of alienation in his land and home due to
[00:13:40] continuous attacks and restrictions.
[00:13:43] Palestinian families here live in grave danger
[00:13:46] due to the continuous attacks carried out by settler
[00:13:50] gangs. At any moment, the residents here
[00:13:54] could face the fate of the Dawabsheh
[00:13:57] 2015 by extremists. Mohammed
[00:14:00] Al-Khatib, Palestine TV, from Khirbet al-Marajim, south of
[00:14:03] Nablus. In the town of Kafr al-Haris,
[00:14:07] north of Salfit, earthmoving operations continue in the southern
[00:14:11] area of the town.
[00:14:16] Kafr al-Haris, north of Salfit,
[00:14:19] earthmoving operations by the occupation continue, affecting
[00:14:22] vast areas of citizens' lands, while
[00:14:25] residents face continuous restrictions on their
[00:14:29] agricultural lands and the areas surrounding the town.
[00:14:33] The Israeli occupation has been continuing for more than five
[00:14:36] months until this moment, extensive bulldozing operations
[00:14:39] in the southern area of Kafr Haris, where bulldozing is concentrated
[00:14:45] and eastern entrances of the town,
[00:14:47] which is considered the main artery connecting the town to the Palestinian
[00:14:51] surroundings in one way or another, and continues.
[00:14:55] Earthmoving operations continue amid fears among citizens of their expansion
[00:14:58] and what may result from them in terms of changes affecting
[00:15:02] their lands and limiting their ability to access
[00:15:05] and utilize them, especially with the approaching olive
[00:15:09] harvest season. The continuation of earthmoving operations exacerbates
[00:15:12] the pressure imposed on citizens' lands amidst continuous
[00:15:15] measures that include closing a number of roads,
[00:15:19] in addition to closing the main entrance to the town in favor
[00:15:23] of settlement expansion. Of course, the bulldozing operation is clearly
[00:15:26] to widen bypass road number five, which penetrates
[00:15:30] the lands of Salfit Governorate completely and creates a connection
[00:15:33] between the occupied territories in 1948
[00:15:36] and the West Bank in one way or another. Therefore, this
[00:15:39] expansion operation falls under the expansion and establishment
[00:15:43] of infrastructure that serves the settlement sector and the expansion of settlement
[00:15:47] in Salfit Governorate and paves the way for changing the features of the governorate completely
[00:15:50] and cutting off communication between villages
[00:15:55] the governorate. In addition, it constitutes a major obstacle to
[00:15:58] commercial traffic and the movement of
[00:16:01] humanitarian cases between the town and the Palestinian surroundings in one way or another. The
[00:16:05] scene in Kafr al-Haris remains
[00:16:08] changes that may affect the land, while the residents
[00:16:11] hold on to their right to access their lands and preserve
[00:16:15] them and utilize them to protect them from confiscation
[00:16:18] and theft by the occupation for the sake
[00:16:21] of settlement. The story is not limited to a plot
[00:16:24] of land, but it
[00:16:27] existence and rights. While
[00:16:31] citizens try to preserve their lands,
[00:16:34] challenges related to settlement
[00:16:38] expansions continue, preventing them from accessing their properties.
[00:16:41] For Palestine TV, Lina Dawabsha,
[00:16:44] Salfit.
[00:16:49] the town, affecting
[00:16:53] the previous report. As for the next
[00:16:55] news, the occupation bulldozers continue earthmoving operations
[00:16:59] on citizens' land in Sahil Al-Baqa'a and Al-Aqaba village
[00:17:03] in Tubas Governorate, northern
[00:17:06] Jordan Valley. Earthmoving operations by the occupation continue on
[00:17:10] citizens' land in Sahil Al-Baqa'a and Al-Aqaba village, southeast
[00:17:13] of Tubas, as part of a continuous plan that affects
[00:17:16] vast areas of agricultural land and threatens
[00:17:20] the livelihood of citizens
[00:17:23] the area. They chose us before
[00:17:27] they started the earthmoving, a month before, they had sent
[00:17:30] a warning to the liaison that 42 dunams of
[00:17:34] Al-Aqaba village land would be confiscated. Of course, its ownership belongs
[00:17:37] to the Latin Patriarchate. It's just that
[00:17:40] it includes farmers from Al-Aqaba village who used to farm there.
[00:17:44] This greatly affects the village
[00:17:47] because all the surrounding agricultural lands
[00:17:50] will not be able to be used by their owners at all.
[00:17:53] The bulldozing operations come at the same time as the construction
[00:17:57] of a military settlement road that the occupation
[00:18:00] authorities are working to open through citizens' land, in a
[00:18:03] step that will change the features of the area and impose a new reality
[00:18:07] on the ground, in addition to isolating
[00:18:11] land from their owners. All these
[00:18:14] matters, the goal of them is not a military
[00:18:17] road. The goal is to annex the Jordan Valley lands in favor
[00:18:21] of settlements, in favor of Israelis,
[00:18:25] and to expel their residents from it. This is what they are actually
[00:18:28] doing to gain full control over these lands
[00:18:32] and expand settlements. They are currently
[00:18:35] expanding settlements that exist on lands,
[00:18:39] knowing that all old and new settlements are on
[00:18:43] citizens' lands, on Palestinian lands, and all of them are
[00:18:46] privately owned. Citizens
[00:18:49] become a tool to expand
[00:18:52] the area, especially with the continuation of bulldozing
[00:18:56] and road construction and the imposition of restrictions on citizens' access to
[00:18:59] their lands, amidst fears of further confiscation
[00:19:02] and displacement of our people. These actions
[00:19:06] fall within broader occupation plans to impose
[00:19:09] control over the Jordan Valley lands by bulldozing them
[00:19:14] a new reality on the ground. From Tubas Governorate
[00:19:17] and the Northern Jordan Valley, Mai Al-Masri, Palestine TV. Israeli President
[00:19:21] Isaac Herzog hinted
[00:19:24] at the possibility of his intervention to prevent new elections
[00:19:27] for the Israeli Knesset if the elections end
[00:19:31] without a clear
[00:19:34] crisis does not seem to be related only to the results
[00:19:37] in the ballot boxes, but to what might happen the day after
[00:19:41] them. Israeli President Isaac Herzog hints
[00:19:45] that he will not stand by if the elections again
[00:19:48] end in a deadlock. The man
[00:19:51] says he will do everything in his power to prevent new
[00:19:55] elections and speaks of possessing a wide
[00:19:58] range of tools and powers
[00:20:01] to help form a stable government,
[00:20:05] including pushing for a national unity government.
[00:20:08] The president's powers to appoint the prime minister are defined
[00:20:12] by law, although the details of managing consultations
[00:20:16] are left, according to those close to Herzog cited by
[00:20:19] Maariv newspaper, with room for political
[00:20:22] maneuver within the limits of law
[00:20:25] and judicial precedents. Fears of a repeat of the crisis
[00:20:28] are strongly present in the electoral scene, similar to 2019,
[00:20:32] when former President Reuven Rivlin intervened
[00:20:35] in an attempt
[00:20:38] to bring together Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz and push
[00:20:41] for a unity government after
[00:20:44] the political system failed to produce a stable
[00:20:47] majority. In the event that a government
[00:20:51] led by Netanyahu cannot be formed,
[00:20:53] combinations including Naftali Bennett, Yair
[00:20:57] Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman, Gadi Eisenkot,
[00:20:59] and other parties may be proposed,
[00:21:02] but these parties do not necessarily operate
[00:21:05] on the same political ground, and some
[00:21:08] scenarios may require the support of Haredi or
[00:21:12] Arab parties. Here, an additional complication
[00:21:16] arises, namely the compulsory conscription law. The differences
[00:21:19] among Haredi parties on this issue may make
[00:21:23] their participation in any new coalition more
[00:21:26] complicated, while the possibility of them remaining outside
[00:21:29] both camps remains an option. However, the most
[00:21:33] sensitive issue remains Netanyahu's file itself. Herzog
[00:21:37] revealed that he proposed mediation under his office's supervision to end
[00:21:40] the prime minister's trial through a settlement,
[00:21:43] believing that the issue should end with a settlement
[00:21:47] and an admission of guilt. According to his account, Netanyahu
[00:21:51] has not yet responded to the mediation proposal,
[00:21:55] while the option is still open. Here,
[00:21:58] two highly sensitive issues intersect:
[00:22:00] forming a unity government on the one hand,
[00:22:03] and the possibility of pardoning Netanyahu on the
[00:22:06] other. Can a pardon become part of a broader political
[00:22:10] settlement if the elections fail to produce
[00:22:14] a 61-seat majority and Herzog
[00:22:17] insists on preventing a new
[00:22:22] behind the scenes, but it is not an announced
[00:22:25] agreement. Those close to Herzog reject linking the pardon
[00:22:29] file to the formation of a unity government, and they
[00:22:32] emphasize that the request for a pardon must be considered according to
[00:22:36] independent fundamental considerations.
[00:22:39] Therefore, the real question is not only who will form
[00:22:42] the government, but can Herzog use his position
[00:22:45] as president to push for a political settlement
[00:22:49] that prevents new elections? And can Netanyahu's
[00:22:52] legal file become part of this
[00:22:56] settlement? So far, there is no public answer,
[00:22:59] but it is clear that the post-election battle, in the absence
[00:23:03] of a decisive outcome, may be more important
[00:23:06] than the battle of the ballot boxes itself. Sary

[00:23:17] Meanwhile, the forces of the occupation continued their attacks on southern
[00:23:21] Lebanon, targeting towns and residential areas
[00:23:25] and civilian and health facilities, in conjunction
[00:23:28] with incursions and military movements in a number of
[00:23:32] areas.
[00:23:35] In a flagrant and repeated violation of international
[00:23:38] laws and norms, and in the context of the ongoing aggression
[00:23:42] against Lebanon, despite the signing of the framework agreement that
[00:23:45] stipulates a cessation of hostilities, the occupation forces continue
[00:23:49] to target health institutions and civil
[00:23:52] defense and health ambulance teams, in addition
[00:23:55] to the violent and continuous strikes on all
[00:23:58] villages and towns in southern Lebanon. In this context, the Israeli
[00:24:02] air force launched an attack in two phases on the old
[00:24:06] square in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, followed by
[00:24:09] a third raid that targeted ambulance teams that rushed to
[00:24:13] the site of the two raids. The Lebanese Ministry of Health did not
[00:24:17] report any injuries among paramedics or civilians
[00:24:20] as a result of the three raids, which caused extensive damage.
[00:24:24] The Lebanese Ministry of Health condemned the occupation forces' action
[00:24:27] of burning Mays al-Jabal Governmental
[00:24:30] Hospital in the Marjeyoun district, which caused extensive
[00:24:33] damage to the hospital's main building and severe
[00:24:36] damage to medical equipment in all its departments.
[00:24:39] In Marjeyoun as well, phosphorus shelling
[00:24:43] targeted the town of Qantara, and the town of
[00:24:46] Zawtar al-Sharqiyah in the Nabatieh district was subjected to intense
[00:24:50] targeting by drones and explosive canisters.
[00:24:53] The occupation artillery targeted the towns of
[00:24:56] Mansoura, Sroubin, and Hadatha. The occupation also carried out
[00:25:00] a massive demolition operation in the town
[00:25:02] of Khiam.
[00:25:05] In light of this continuous escalation and the stalled negotiation
[00:25:09] process, the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly present
[00:25:12] an opportunity for the Lebanese government and its delegation heading to New York.
[00:25:16] Lebanese official sources confirmed that the files of
[00:25:20] international peacekeeping forces, supporting the Lebanese army
[00:25:23] and strengthening its capabilities, and completing the political
[00:25:26] process to fully stop the aggression and begin the Israeli withdrawal
[00:25:30] from Lebanese territory constitute the main
[00:25:33] topics that the Lebanese delegation will focus on in its
[00:25:36] meetings on the sidelines of the General Assembly, most notably
[00:25:40] a scheduled meeting between the Lebanese Prime
[00:25:43] Minister and the American Secretary of State. Bilal
[00:25:46] Hijazi, Palestine TV. Senior
[00:25:50] officials in the American administration reported that President Donald
[00:25:53] Trump will not meet with Israeli Prime
[00:25:57] Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the United Nations General
[00:26:00] Assembly meetings in New York, scheduled to be held
[00:26:04] next week. Those sources explained, as
[00:26:07] reported by the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, that this is due
[00:26:11] to time constraints and Trump's busy
[00:26:15] schedule.
[00:26:20] At a time when US President Donald Trump is talking about
[00:26:24] Iran's desire to reach an agreement, Israeli Prime
[00:26:28] Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raises
[00:26:31] the ceiling of his rhetoric against the Iranian
[00:26:34] regime, calling for its overthrow. The American war on
[00:26:40] only by what happens on the ground. After months of
[00:26:43] war, the crisis entered a more complex
[00:26:46] phase. How will the war end, and who will write the terms
[00:26:49] of its end? Trump says that Iran wants
[00:26:52] an agreement and talks about direct contacts with
[00:26:55] Tehran. He even says that the United States may be
[00:27:01] in contrast, Tehran does not confirm the resumption of direct
[00:27:04] negotiations, while emphasizing that any new
[00:27:07] path must begin with its conditions. Here,
[00:27:11] the gray area appears.
[00:27:14] does not seem to be merely a ceasefire, but rather wants
[00:27:18] a settlement that restricts Iran's ability to return
[00:27:21] to what the United States considers a threat.
[00:27:25] At a time when Tehran is seeking an agreement that preserves
[00:27:28] its position and does not turn into a formula
[00:27:31] of surrender under the pressure of war and sanctions.
[00:27:35] Between the two positions, the space for maneuver narrows. The war
[00:27:39] did not remain within the Iranian or Israeli borders. Its repercussions
[00:27:42] extended to the Gulf, Yemen, and maritime
[00:27:45] passages, while it became The Strait of Hormuz and Bab
[00:27:48] al-Mandab are part of the negotiation equation itself,
[00:27:53] global energy and trade. As for Israel, it sets a
[00:27:56] different ceiling, as Benjamin Netanyahu says that the overthrow of
[00:27:59] the Iranian regime has become a central goal, and he spoke
[00:28:03] about its end being near and that Israel
[00:28:06] is determined to complete the mission. Here, the question is not
[00:28:09] only whether Washington and Tehran agree, but whether
[00:28:13] Washington and Tel Aviv agree at all on the
[00:28:16] shape of the end. So if the American
[00:28:19] priority is to reach a settlement that ends the war and reorders
[00:28:23] Tehran's behavior, then the declared Israeli goal goes
[00:28:27] to changing the regime itself, and the difference between the two goals
[00:28:31] is not a detail, because it determines the shape of the day after
[00:28:34] the war. In Washington, political and economic pressures
[00:28:37] are increasing to end the conflict, while
[00:28:40] the administration continues to keep the escalation option open.
[00:28:44] Trump is preparing to consult with leaders of Gulf countries regarding
[00:28:47] the next stage, while US forces in the region
[00:28:50] remain ready for escalation if
[00:28:54] political paths fail. As for Iran,
[00:28:57] it faces a difficult equation, as the continuation of the war raises
[00:29:01] the cost, but accepting an agreement on American
[00:29:04] terms may mean making concessions that Tehran considers
[00:29:07] an infringement on its regional position. This is why the real
[00:29:11] knot seems to be in the terms of withdrawal. Washington
[00:29:15] wants to withdraw saying that it imposed an agreement
[00:29:18] that achieves its goals, and Tehran wants to
[00:29:21] withdraw saying that it negotiated and
[00:29:24] did not surrender. Tel Aviv wants the end of the war to be different
[00:29:28] from its beginning, so that Iran does not return to its
[00:29:31] previous position. Between these goals, the region remains suspended
[00:29:35] between two paths: an agreement that redraws
[00:29:38] the rules of confrontation, or an escalation that reopens the doors
[00:29:42] of war. What will decide the direction will not only be what happens
[00:29:45] in Tehran or Washington, but the more difficult question: Can
[00:29:49] each party accept an end
[00:29:52] everything it wanted?
[00:29:55] The rise in fuel prices and the disruption
[00:29:59] of navigation in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab led to
[00:30:02] an increase in maritime shipping costs.
[00:31:05] In Tulkarm, the Agricultural Relief and World Food Program
[00:31:08] organized an event yesterday
[00:31:11] to market grapes and rural
[00:31:15] products, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Tulkarm
[00:31:19] Municipality. To support farmers and market
[00:31:22] local products, a marketing day for grapes was opened in the Tulkarm
[00:31:25] Municipality square, especially for its farmers
[00:31:29] from Hebron and Bethlehem governorates, in addition
[00:31:32] to other agricultural products for farmers from Tulkarm
[00:31:35] and the rest of the country's governorates. The opening of the marketing
[00:31:38] day came with official, community,
[00:31:43] agricultural relief with a number of different institutions,
[00:31:47] and included dozens of corners with different
[00:31:50] agricultural products. Today we saw all institutions
[00:31:54] working together as one
[00:31:57] man, working for the farmer,
[00:32:00] for the manufacturer, for the merchant, for the consumer, for
[00:32:04] the marketer, for all these
[00:32:06] components in Tulkarm. Today, the marketing day for grapes and
[00:32:10] rural products came as a result of the keenness of the concerned agricultural institutions
[00:32:13] to open markets for grapes. At the same time, to activate the
[00:32:17] marketing movement, while the marketing day was well received
[00:32:20] by visitors who interacted with it remarkably,
[00:32:24] especially with grapes and its products, which formed a meeting
[00:32:27] point to learn about different types of grapes,
[00:32:30] and at the same time to open horizons for local
[00:32:33] companies to strengthen the agricultural reality and support
[00:32:37] the agricultural sector. Agricultural relief is interested in this topic and has organized
[00:32:42] year in all cities of the West Bank, and has succeeded in them.
[00:32:50] Today, this actually helps the farmer so that I
[00:32:54] can sell the product and I am comfortable when I sit in a place like
[00:32:58] this, calm and organized, and I have a table
[00:33:01] in front of me and everything. The municipality is thanked for this organization
[00:33:05] and for this support. The holding of various agricultural events
[00:33:08] has become an important demand to activate commercial activity, and this
[00:33:11] falls on the shoulders of all institutions, ensuring
[00:33:15] the enhancement of the national product and its support.
[00:33:18] Important gains are achieved by this marketing day
[00:33:21] for grapes: first, supporting the farmer; second,
[00:33:24] providing many options to the consumer;
[00:33:27] and third, supporting the national product and enhancing it
[00:33:31] against other
[00:33:33] products. Ihab Damir, Palestine
