[00:02:54] consecutive
[00:02:57] the Middle East.
[00:02:58] for resistance
[00:03:11] So the demand for
[00:03:19] states
[00:03:19] this thing. No,
[00:03:27] warfare. A source in
[00:03:38] the national reform program
[00:03:42] to deny
[00:03:46] segment of society
[00:03:55] between leaders, from Palestine
[00:03:58] channels,
[00:03:59] field in
[00:04:06] and their properties in were written on the besieged
[00:04:18] association
[00:04:41] important news and reports from local newspapers with our colleague Ilham, and now
[00:04:58] as a woman, something line. So, in the details of this viewers, once again, to our local
[00:05:02] news tour, and we begin with Wafa News Agency and Palestinian
[00:05:05] Information. In our first news, the Wall
[00:05:09] Commission: 14 attacks by
[00:05:11] have in Serda, I mean, these terrorist settlers since Saturday
[00:05:16] news, the Wall and Settlement Resistance
[00:05:19] Commission stated that terrorist settlers
[00:05:22] carried out, as of Saturday evening, no less than 14
[00:05:26] attacks in four governorates in the West Bank,
[00:05:29] according to a priority that was based on field
[00:05:33] reports. The attacks were distributed
[00:05:37] as six in Ramallah
[00:05:40] Hebron, and three in Nablus. Two attacks
[00:05:43] in Bethlehem. The commission clarified that
[00:05:46] the attacks in Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate included firing
[00:05:50] solid bullets at citizens' homes in Al-Mughayyir village, attacking
[00:05:54] citizens with pepper spray, and causing damage to an
[00:05:58] ambulance vehicle, in addition to attacking the villages of Burqa, Abu
[00:06:01] Falah, and Um Safa, and attempting to burn
[00:06:04] a house, assaulting a citizen, and stealing an olive
[00:06:07] harvest, as well as attempting to steal approximately
[00:06:10] 300 head of sheep and a horse from
[00:06:13] the Al-Hayyan area in Deir Dibwan. In Hebron
[00:06:17] governorate, settlers cut the main water line supplying
[00:06:21] the village of Dikka in the wilderness of Yatta, which deprived approximately
[00:06:24] 700 citizens of water. They also burned
[00:06:27] an agricultural room and wrote inciting slogans east
[00:06:31] of Yatta, and assaulted the family of citizen Fadel
[00:06:35] Al-Haddar in Khillet Al-Homs, forcing them to move their tent
[00:06:38] erected over the ruins of their demolished house in search of
[00:06:42] a safer place. In Nablus,
[00:06:45] settlers roamed among citizens' homes in Al-Lubban
[00:06:49] Al-Sharqiya, vandalized agricultural greenhouses, and stole
[00:06:52] iron arches and equipment from the lands of Al-Naqoura
[00:06:56] village, and continued to harass citizens in Beit
[00:06:59] Ummar. As for Beit Lahm, settlers
[00:07:02] drove out sheep herders in the wilderness of Za'tara and released
[00:07:05] their livestock into citizens' lands and gathered
[00:07:09] near their homes in the Wadi Abu Nujeim area.
[00:07:12] The commission affirmed that this toll reveals that the settlers'
[00:07:16] attacks fall within the framework of the integration of occupation tools
[00:07:19] that target the safety of Palestinians
[00:07:22] and their properties, sources of water, and livelihoods,
[00:07:25] and whose essence is to restrict their presence
[00:07:28] and push them to leave their lands.
[00:07:32] The commission concluded that these attacks
[00:07:35] the land and will not succeed in uprooting Palestinians from it,
[00:07:39] indicating that what is required from the international community is to move from condemnation
[00:07:42] to providing protection and effective accountability, emphasizing that
[00:07:46] the steadfastness of citizens and their resilience in their lands remains
[00:07:49] the first line of defense for them.
[00:07:53] We move with you to our next news, also from Wafa Agency: Israeli
[00:07:57] occupation forces and terrorist settlers attack citizens in
[00:08:01] various areas of Bethlehem.
[00:08:04] So, in the details, Israeli occupation forces
[00:08:07] detained yesterday, Saturday, a number of citizens, including
[00:08:11] women and children, in the village of Battir, west of Bethlehem,
[00:08:14] while settlers pursued sheep herders east of the governorate.
[00:08:18] A security source informed our correspondent that the occupation forces
[00:08:21] detained the citizens for several hours while they were in the railway
[00:08:25] area in Battir village before
[00:08:29] releasing them. It is worth noting that
[00:08:32] the area is a tourist destination visited by citizens for recreation
[00:08:35] and taking souvenir photos. In the wilderness
[00:08:39] of Za'tara, east of Bethlehem, terrorist settlers pursued
[00:08:42] sheep herders and chased them in an attempt to force
[00:08:46] them to leave the area. In a related context,
[00:08:49] occupation forces set up a military checkpoint on the bridge
[00:08:53] of Za'tara town and stopped citizens' vehicles, searched them,
[00:08:56] and checked the identities of their passengers, which impeded
[00:09:00] their movement. In the Wadi Abu Nujeim
[00:09:04] area, east of Bethlehem governorate, terrorist settlers
[00:09:07] released their sheep to graze in citizens' lands
[00:09:10] and gathered near their homes as part of the continuous
[00:09:14] attacks that target residents
[00:09:18] the area.
[00:09:21] So, our last news from Wafa Agency: educational
[00:09:25] loss accumulates in Gaza and additional burdens weigh
[00:09:28] heavily on families. So, in the details of this news,
[00:09:32] the educational loss in the Gaza Strip is no longer limited to what
[00:09:35] children missed in lessons and curricula during the
[00:09:38] years of war, but has extended to basic skills such as reading
[00:09:42] and writing and arithmetic, while families find themselves forced to
[00:09:46] resort to educational points and private centers to compensate
[00:09:50] their children for what they lost, despite harsh
[00:09:53] economic conditions that limit their ability to bear
[00:09:56] additional costs. With schools heavily
[00:09:59] damaged and face-to-face education disrupted,
[00:10:03] temporary educational points and spaces have become a basic
[00:10:06] alternative for thousands of children, but at the same
[00:10:09] time, they have added a financial burden on families exhausted
[00:10:13] by war, displacement, and loss of income sources,
[00:10:17] making the task of compensating for educational loss a shared responsibility among educational
[00:10:21] institutions, teachers,
[00:10:24] and parents. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics,
[00:10:28] educational loss, the gap between what a student should learn and what they actually learn,
[00:10:31] threatens the future of 626
[00:10:35] thousand children in the Gaza Strip, which represents
[00:10:38] 57% of
[00:10:41] the Strip. Hani Rashid, 34 years old, a father
[00:10:45] of two students in elementary
[00:10:48] the foundational stage, and both of them were not properly
[00:10:52] established due to the interruption of traditional
[00:10:55] education. I pay a monthly amount of
[00:10:59] 300 shekels, approximately 100 dollars, for my children, as I
[00:11:02] enrolled them in a private educational center for an average of one hour
[00:11:05] daily for three basic subjects,
[00:11:08] Arabic, English, and mathematics, and they
[00:11:11] need more private lessons and tutoring, but
[00:11:15] my economic situation is not good, and I
[00:11:18] cannot pay more than that.
[00:11:22] Rashid continues: This matter drains our already drained pockets
[00:11:25] due to the lack of job opportunities because of the war of extermination on Gaza.
[00:11:29] I used to work as a graphic designer, but I am currently unemployed
[00:11:33] and support a family consisting of five individuals.
[00:11:37] As for citizen Akram Al-Shish, 33 years old, he says: He has
[00:11:40] three children in elementary and middle school,
[00:11:44] and all educational loss.
[00:11:48] So, we move with you, viewers, to Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah
[00:11:51] newspaper and the following news: Three martyrs, including a child,
[00:11:55] and injured in Israeli shelling of various
[00:11:58] areas in the Gaza Strip.
[00:12:01] So, three citizens were martyred, including a child, and others
[00:12:05] were injured yesterday, Saturday morning, in Israeli shelling
[00:12:08] of various areas in the Gaza Strip. Medical
[00:12:12] sources reported the martyrdom of a citizen in the Israeli shelling of Al-Shuja'iyya
[00:12:15] neighborhood, east of Gaza City, and in the central
[00:12:19] Strip, a child was martyred after being injured by Israeli
[00:12:22] forces north of Al-Nuseirat refugee
[00:12:26] camp. In the north, a young man was martyred and others were injured due to
[00:12:30] a raid carried out by a drone west of Jabalia refugee camp,
[00:12:33] while another young man sustained serious injuries from Israeli
[00:12:37] army gunfire east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp,
[00:12:40] central Gaza Strip. So,
[00:12:43] we move with you, viewers, to the next news, also from Al-Hayat
[00:12:46] Al-Jadeedah newspaper: Europe calls on Washington to reverse
[00:12:50] the visa ban on the Palestinian
[00:12:54] the details. The European Union yesterday,
[00:12:57] Saturday, called on the United States of America to reconsider its
[00:13:01] decision to refuse to grant visas to the President of the State
[00:13:06] of the Palestinian delegation to participate in the work of the United Nations
[00:13:10] General Assembly in its emergency session
[00:13:13] in New York, expressing regret
[00:13:17] for the repetition of the measure for the second
[00:13:19] year. The United Nations General Assembly
[00:13:22] had voted last Thursday by a majority
[00:13:26] of 152 states in favor of a resolution adopted by the United
[00:13:29] Nations General Assembly that rejects the American
[00:13:33] decision to prevent the Palestinian delegation from participating in the work
[00:13:36] of the General Assembly and demands its reversal as a clear
[00:13:40] violation of
[00:13:42] the Headquarters Agreement.
[00:13:46] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:13:48] and Expatriates, pardon me, criticized the American statement's disregard
[00:13:52] for the reforms that it said the State of Palestine
[00:13:55] had accomplished, including unifying the social protection
[00:13:58] system based on social and economic needs, and implementing
[00:14:03] in financial, administrative, educational, and legal
[00:14:07] fields according to clear and transparent mechanisms
[00:14:11] that are verifiable. It also rejected any restrictions
[00:14:14] that prevent the full participation of the Palestinian delegation
[00:14:18] in United Nations meetings, considering it an infringement
[00:14:22] on its rights and on the international organization. It called
[00:14:25] for ensuring the access of all members of the accredited official Palestinian
[00:14:28] delegation to United Nations meetings.
[00:14:30] The Ministry called on the American administration to reconsider
[00:14:34] the decision and stop the policy of sanctions
[00:14:37] and restrictions and to engage in a direct and serious
[00:14:41] Palestinian-American dialogue to address contentious
[00:14:44] issues and resume bilateral relations based on
[00:14:48] mutual respect and relevant United Nations
[00:14:51] resolutions and the peace plan. Washington had
[00:14:54] previously, last year, prevented Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
[00:15:00] from obtaining visas to attend the United Nations
[00:15:03] General Assembly meetings in New
[00:15:06] York. So, we move with you, viewers, to
[00:15:09] our last news from Al-Ayyam newspaper: settler
[00:15:13] attacks, shooting, burning a house, destroying
[00:15:16] crops, and cutting a water
[00:15:20] news, settlers fired live ammunition at
[00:15:23] homes in the village of Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, and tried
[00:15:27] to burn a house in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, and cut
[00:15:31] the water line supplying the village of Dikka, south of Hebron, simultaneously with
[00:15:34] destroying crops and launching attacks in several
[00:15:38] governorates. In the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, settlers
[00:15:44] residents. Marzouq Abu Naim, a member of the
[00:15:47] Al-Mughayyir village council, said that a number of settlers
[00:15:51] stormed the Sha'ab Al-Lawz area in the village and fired
[00:15:54] live ammunition at homes. He added that occupation
[00:15:58] forces stormed for the second time in hours the home of
[00:16:01] citizen Haj Abu Atta, searched it, climbed onto its roof,
[00:16:04] and detained his family members and interrogated
[00:16:08] them. They also raided the home of citizen
[00:16:11] Rasmi Abu Ali and searched it as well. The head of the
[00:16:15] Al-Mughayyir village council, Amin Abu Ali, indicated that settlers, Abu Ali,
[00:16:18] pardon me, that settlers attacked a number of citizens
[00:16:22] with pepper spray near the entrance to the village on
[00:16:25] the road between it and the village of Abu Falah, which led
[00:16:29] to them suffering from suffocation and being treated
[00:16:32] on site. Settlers also attacked an ambulance
[00:16:35] vehicle of the Al-Mughayyir village council
[00:16:37] while it was on its way to treat the injured,
[00:16:41] the vehicle.
[00:16:44] Abu Ali mentioned that occupation forces stormed the village several
[00:16:48] times, raided homes, tampered with and vandalized
[00:16:51] their contents, and assaulted a number of citizens
[00:16:55] by beating them and detaining others. In the village of Burqa,
[00:16:58] east of Ramallah, settlers attacked the outskirts
[00:17:02] of the village, threw stones at a house, and set
[00:17:05] fire to its balcony.
[00:17:08] So, viewers, here we have reached the end of our local
[00:17:12] news tour. We move with you to
[00:17:15] a tour of the Israeli
[00:17:32] media today and Israeli newspapers
[00:17:36] today, on the eve of Yom Kippur
[00:17:39] for Jews, almost all reports and news
[00:17:43] are related to this day.
[00:17:46] The day that
[00:17:49] at six o'clock
[00:17:51] and ends tomorrow with sunset.
[00:17:54] And of course, life is completely paralyzed
[00:17:57] in Israel. No movement at all.
[00:18:01] However, before I start
[00:18:04] with the newspapers, I mean, the latest news that Israeli
[00:18:07] media reported this morning
[00:18:12] the United States, in a warning
[00:18:15] to its citizens: Do not East for fear of
[00:18:21] with Iran. And the American embassy in
[00:18:25] Tel Aviv issued an exceptional warning
[00:18:29] to its citizens in Israel
[00:18:31] due to the tension in
[00:18:34] Flights may be completely canceled,
[00:18:37] and there will be perhaps
[00:18:40] changes in passenger movement.
[00:18:44] And also, the American President
[00:18:47] returns unexpectedly to the White House.
[00:18:51] And another piece of news on the Ynet website this
[00:18:53] morning
[00:18:56] that the warning call from
[00:19:00] the President of the UAE to Netanyahu before
[00:19:03] October 7th. This call,
[00:19:07] I mean, the UAE refrained from
[00:19:10] commenting directly,
[00:19:14] but after Israeli pressure on the
[00:19:17] UAE
[00:19:20] the warning, an official
[00:19:23] source in Abu Dhabi told a local newspaper that
[00:19:27] such issues are not discussed
[00:19:32] but rather through the customary
[00:19:36] I mean through intelligence and intelligence
[00:19:39] services. And yet, Yedioth Ahronoth
[00:19:43] website says that it did not
[00:19:46] claim that
[00:19:49] Netanyahu was not
[00:19:53] warned. Yedioth
[00:19:56] Ahronoth
[00:19:59] newspaper chose its main headline
[00:20:02] as the Yom Kippur
[00:20:04] prayer,
[00:20:06] which, as I said, will begin this evening.
[00:20:09] And it says the prayer, I mean, I want
[00:20:12] to take two sentences from this prayer:
[00:20:15] Open for us a door
[00:20:19] and teach
[00:20:20] us mercy.
[00:20:23] Asking those who learn mercy.
[00:20:27] I mean, they really need
[00:20:29] that. And open our hearts at
[00:20:33] the hour of conclusion. And another
[00:20:36] news says that the Israeli President
[00:20:39] Herzog laughs that he joined
[00:20:42] Ben-Gvir and others. He
[00:20:45] canceled
[00:20:47] the
[00:20:51] criminal record of soldier Elor
[00:20:54] Azaria, who killed a Palestinian in
[00:20:58] 2016, and he was injured
[00:21:02] the ground, and he shot him
[00:21:04] and killed him.
[00:21:08] He is the only soldier in the last ten years who was
[00:21:12] tried on charges of
[00:21:15] killing a Palestinian, even though
[00:21:18] killings are almost daily in the occupied
[00:21:22] West Bank. He was sentenced in 2016
[00:21:25] to 18 months
[00:21:28] in prison, of which he served
[00:21:32] only half the term and was released.
[00:21:36] The Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Eyal
[00:21:39] Zamir, objected
[00:21:43] decision by the Israeli
[00:21:46] President, but he practically
[00:21:50] did not care. And on
[00:21:53] the first page of Yedioth Ahronoth,
[00:21:56] a photo of three soldiers
[00:21:59] performing a salute to fallen soldiers
[00:22:03] in a military cemetery, and the news
[00:22:06] says that two of them were killed in
[00:22:10] Gaza, and only one remains.
[00:22:13] Netanyahu's visit to the United States
[00:22:17] to deliver a speech
[00:22:20] at the Security Council will be very
[00:22:23] short, meaning he will
[00:22:27] arrive, deliver the speech, and return
[00:22:29] to Israel. Of course,
[00:22:32] after all attempts
[00:22:36] to arrange a meeting with President
[00:22:40] attempts failed, or even a meeting with businessman
[00:22:43] Elon Musk.
[00:22:47] The meeting with him was also
[00:22:50] canceled. This means
[00:22:53] that the American President will meet the leaders
[00:22:57] of the Gulf at the United Nations
[00:22:59] and also the Turkish President
[00:23:02] Erdogan, but he will not meet
[00:23:06] Benjamin Netanyahu. Is there a reason
[00:23:09] for that? I mean, they say here it's due
[00:23:13] to the timing,
[00:23:16] which is inappropriate in Israel.
[00:23:20] And the fear in Europe of Russia
[00:23:23] and expectations that Russian President
[00:23:26] Putin will soon shell
[00:23:29] Europe. Britain called on its citizens
[00:23:33] to stockpile food and water
[00:23:37] They are preparing hospitals to receive
[00:23:41] the wounded. And in Lithuania,
[00:23:44] they are training female soldiers
[00:23:48] in case the Russian army enters
[00:23:52] this country. In Russia, the reserve
[00:23:55] is being called up, and European
[00:23:59] countries are preparing
[00:24:02] to receive missile
[00:24:05] attacks and drones,
[00:24:09] or it might even, as Yedioth
[00:24:11] Ahronoth says, lead to ground
[00:24:17] NATO said we must be prepared
[00:24:21] for every military event.
[00:24:25] And Trump bans CNN,
[00:24:28] MSNBC, and Politico
[00:24:32] from entering the White House
[00:24:36] because he doesn't like
[00:24:38] their coverage of the White
[00:24:42] House. They criticize his policies sometimes.
[00:24:45] And settler
[00:24:47] violence. Yedioth Ahronoth writes
[00:24:51] that hostile slogans house in Qasra
[00:24:55] village several weeks ago
[00:24:59] by what they write as settlers. I say
[00:25:02] Jewish terrorists who wrote
[00:25:06] a Star of David and wrote
[00:25:09] on it, "Let the village
[00:25:12] burn for you." And terrorist
[00:25:15] attacks also in several
[00:25:19] other places. Annexation in the West
[00:25:22] Bank and the establishment of a military checkpoint
[00:25:25] at the entrance to Turmus Aya,
[00:25:29] the only one. The army did not comment on this
[00:25:32] news, as Yedioth
[00:25:35] Ahronoth says, they asked for a comment from the army,
[00:25:39] but it refused to respond to this
[00:25:43] news. Maariv newspaper
[00:25:46] on the political drift against Israel in the entire
[00:25:50] world. Netanyahu will travel to the United
[00:25:53] States on Wednesday
[00:25:57] to deliver a speech on Thursday. I mean,
[00:26:00] he leaves on Wednesday and arrives in the morning in New York
[00:26:03] before the United Nations General Assembly,
[00:26:07] and he will not meet President
[00:26:11] Trump. The trip will be against
[00:26:14] the backdrop of the imposition of
[00:26:18] economic sanctions and the freezing
[00:26:22] وتجميد
[00:26:25] of the battle between Iran and the United
[00:26:29] States.
[00:26:31] I mean, surely Israel doesn't like
[00:26:35] what is happening now, I mean, military operations
[00:26:38] are frozen. Netanyahu will return immediately
[00:26:42] after finishing his speech, and all attempts
[00:26:46] to meet Trump failed. The President
[00:26:50] of Indonesia said, "Free
[00:26:53] Palestine." Tears
[00:26:56] and a Keffiyeh and the Palestinian
[00:27:00] the President, of course. The Indonesian
[00:27:03] President,
[00:27:06] and he cried
[00:27:09] during this speech in which
[00:27:12] he spoke about the liberation
[00:27:17] Israel's friend in Congress, Jewish
[00:27:20] Congressman Brad Sherman,
[00:27:24] published new data from CNN
[00:27:27] about the very disturbing and unprecedented
[00:27:31] drop in support
[00:27:34] for Israel in the United
[00:27:38] And he warned Israel, and as he
[00:27:42] said, without friends,
[00:27:46] survive. And he confirmed
[00:27:48] that annual aid
[00:27:51] is at risk, and even weapons
[00:27:55] and diplomatic support
[00:27:58] for Israel are under a big question mark.
[00:28:01] He said Sherman said that the Israeli
[00:28:04] leadership and the public in
[00:28:08] understand
[00:28:12] in the United States. He added that
[00:28:16] Israel's image is bad,
[00:28:18] and the presence of Minister
[00:28:22] the security and political
[00:28:25] cabinet poses an existential
[00:28:28] threat to
[00:28:29] Israel.
[00:28:32] He responded, you know that Ben Gvir is very
[00:28:35] upset and said that he doesn't care about
[00:28:38] these statements
[00:28:40] and will continue his policy. Of course,
[00:28:44] he spoke about
[00:28:47] imposing the death penalty on Palestinian
[00:28:51] families, starving them,
[00:28:53] and abusing
[00:28:56] them. Also, we remain with Ben-Gvir,
[00:28:59] and in another news, it says that
[00:29:02] recently, Netanyahu
[00:29:05] has been distancing himself from him and does not even want to talk
[00:29:09] to him and does not answer his phone
[00:29:12] calls.
[00:29:14] And he said that Ben-Gvir is convinced that
[00:29:18] Netanyahu will prefer a coalition with
[00:29:22] Eisenkot to remove
[00:29:24] Ben-Gvir from power.
[00:29:26] And
[00:29:29] I quote what Ben-Gvir said: The relationship
[00:29:32] with Netanyahu was excellent, and suddenly
[00:29:36] Netanyahu stopped answering my
[00:29:40] calls, said
[00:29:42] Ben-Gvir.
[00:29:45] And Haaretz newspaper. Haaretz newspaper
[00:29:48] also chose its main headline,
[00:29:52] I mean, in the atmosphere of Yom Kippur, but for the news
[00:29:55] or the article that Amos
[00:29:59] Harel, the strategic analyst, wrote: Annulment
[00:30:02] of vows. I mean, they used to
[00:30:06] make vows, and on Yom Kippur,
[00:30:09] they ask for the annulment of these
[00:30:12] vows and to
[00:30:15] obtain the, I mean, that
[00:30:19] this annulment of vows is a Jewish
[00:30:23] religious term in which
[00:30:26] the annulment of vows and commitments that a
[00:30:29] person has made to himself is requested.
[00:30:33] And he writes, Netanyahu claims that he
[00:30:37] fulfilled his promise of a crushing
[00:30:41] victory on all fronts,
[00:30:44] but the majority of the public
[00:30:48] in Israel is convinced that
[00:30:50] Israel has not won on any
[00:30:54] front, and
[00:30:57] of course, he says, and this indicates
[00:31:01] that Netanyahu must commit to establishing
[00:31:05] an official investigation committee into the failure
[00:31:08] of October 7th, and he
[00:31:11] is still fueling the conspiracy
[00:31:15] theory. Netanyahu is still fueling
[00:31:18] the conspiracy theory.
[00:31:21] And the other news about President Herzog's decision, who approved
[00:31:25] the request of the killer soldier Elor
[00:31:28] Azaria to remove
[00:31:31] the criminal record from his personal file.
[00:31:34] Of course, Azaria
[00:31:38] is the only one in the last ten years who was
[00:31:42] convicted of killing a Palestinian. And
[00:31:45] he was injured. The Chief of Staff of the Army
[00:31:48] objected to the removal of this
[00:31:52] criminal file. for Azaria.
[00:31:57] the West Bank, settlers storm
[00:31:59] and assault
[00:32:03] Palestinians
[00:32:06] the occupied West Bank, and in
[00:32:09] Gaza, six Palestinians were killed by Israeli shelling,
[00:32:13] including a 10-year-old
[00:32:45] Abbas, so dear viewers, from here we go to a new station of
[00:32:48] Palestine This Morning, where we will learn about
[00:32:52] the Serda Women's Association and its activities and important
[00:32:55] community initiatives. Right, I mean, we are talking about these associations that
[00:32:59] help empower women economically and socially,
[00:33:02] and also the events that bring women together in the local
[00:33:05] community and civil
[00:33:27] was established in 2015.
[00:33:29] It was founded by women from the town of Serda.
[00:33:33] They worked on it so that
[00:33:36] there would be a place and a headquarters
[00:33:39] for women to meet
[00:33:43] and raise the level of, yes, their social
[00:33:47] and economic ceiling. They share in
[00:33:49] matters of social charitable work,
[00:33:53] and the development of women
[00:33:55] through their economic
[00:33:59] situation. That is,
[00:34:02] they can have their own income,
[00:34:05] even if they are in their homes. Yes, Ms. Maha, you
[00:34:08] are talking about empowerment, women's empowerment, women's
[00:34:12] empowerment in the village of Serda or town.
[00:34:15] So when we talk about empowerment, what does
[00:34:18] that mean practically on the ground, and what
[00:34:21] services or opportunities does the association provide
[00:34:24] for women? Empowerment means
[00:34:27] economically that a woman is the foundation
[00:34:30] of the family. When you empower a woman,
[00:34:33] you create a family with a kind of psychological
[00:34:37] and financial stability. The projects we helped them with,
[00:34:41] for example, like kitchen projects,
[00:34:44] making food for marketing,
[00:34:46] that is, all kinds of food
[00:34:49] and sweets, and even popular
[00:34:51] dishes, and even
[00:34:53] pickles and jams,
[00:34:57] and all of this. We help them market
[00:35:01] when there are bazaars, we help them
[00:35:04] empower themselves.
[00:35:08] I mean, anyone who has a craft, for example, or
[00:35:11] has a
[00:35:14] which she feels she is creative and does not have the opportunity
[00:35:17] to develop herself, we used to help
[00:35:21] and encourage them. Aha. So you helped women who
[00:35:24] have talent or a hobby to rely on it as a source of income.
[00:35:27] This is exactly what you did. Well, we want to talk about the products that are available
[00:35:31] in your and that women
[00:35:35] make, embroidery, handicrafts,
[00:35:38] baked goods, and agricultural products. Let's talk about how
[00:35:41] you preserved these authentic products, which are the basis
[00:35:45] of our life as Palestinians. I mean, as
[00:35:48] they say, the recipes,
[00:35:52] you preserve it, you develop it,
[00:35:55] and then you present it
[00:35:59] in a way that is good for marketing, a good
[00:36:02] and healthy way, so that you
[00:36:06] can show as much as you can that the product is
[00:36:10] a product that is 100% correct
[00:36:13] and its display method is correct and the marketing method is
[00:36:17] correct. Aha. The food products, as we mentioned,
[00:36:21] we also had crochet projects and embroidery projects,
[00:36:25] as you said. These remained
[00:36:28] and they are not even obliged to be, for example, in our association
[00:36:32] to do something. They can do it in their homes and they have an income
[00:36:35] from it. I mean, through one of them doing things from her home,
[00:36:39] it continues, not just during bazaars or during
[00:36:41] activities. I mean, something continuous. A source of income.
[00:36:46] is the talk. It's the meetings that women
[00:36:50] hold, so every time something comes out of it, you
[00:36:53] know, it benefits psychologically
[00:36:56] and socially. Good meetings
[00:36:59] develop their thinking,
[00:37:02] their ideas. Each one gives to the other, can benefit, give me
[00:37:06] an idea, I give her an idea from their psychological
[00:37:09] and social situation. Sometimes, such meetings encourage psychologically
[00:37:12] and socially, they create a kind of
[00:37:16] closeness, honestly. These associations,
[00:37:19] these meetings, and these organizations help
[00:37:22] women when they meet, there will be
[00:37:26] more common things. And there will be stronger
[00:37:29] relationships. What can we serve and how can we serve? Aha.
[00:37:33] So this is one of the most important things. We are also
[00:37:36] mothers and we have these boys and girls.
[00:37:39] We try to involve them and they involve us
[00:37:42] in their ideas. So these meetings
[00:37:46] strengthen every work strengthens.
[00:37:49] Yes, Ms. Maha, do you
[00:37:52] the municipality, with schools, local
[00:37:55] community institutions, so that you also involve
[00:37:58] the institutions around you, whether private sector or public
[00:38:01] sector, and support
[00:38:05] الجمعيه والبزارات اللي بتساوها اه طبعا
[00:38:09] first of all, the municipality of Serda Abu Kish, thank you,
[00:38:12] provided us with the headquarters. Aha, the headquarters
[00:38:15] of the association is from the municipality of Serda Abu Kish. They support us
[00:38:19] financially and with advice, and whatever we
[00:38:21] need, they
[00:38:25] as an association, our association's headquarters is near Serda
[00:38:29] Primary School. So any activity for the school, we like
[00:38:33] to participate in. We mean, when there is an honoring
[00:38:36] for excellent students, talented students, you have,
[00:38:39] for example, there is an activity the school wants us to do, we want to do an activity,
[00:38:43] we involve the school students to come and do with us. We do summer
[00:38:47] camps to involve them, to activate them in
[00:38:50] activities, for example, for drawing, for art,
[00:38:53] for sports, we involve them. For example, we
[00:38:57] do hospitality, a hospitality day, an Iftar
[00:39:01] day, an honoring day for
[00:39:04] diligent students. We did it for them and we did hospitality
[00:39:07] from the association, and they honored
[00:39:10] the outstanding students. I mean, there are joint activities, and also because it is
[00:39:14] nearby, I mean, our headquarters is exactly next to Serda
[00:39:17] Primary School. So this helped us to even
[00:39:21] know the small children and the school principal and the teachers
[00:39:24] who are there, the teachers, to know
[00:39:27] what the needs are, even for the students. Aha, and how we
[00:39:31] can help them. Oh, we participate in these things. The institutions,
[00:39:35] sorry, the institutions that
[00:39:38] exist to serve women, we also, for example,
[00:39:42] workshops, work workshops, we
[00:39:45] enter them and they come to us. I mean, this is exactly what I wanted to ask about.
[00:39:48] I wanted to tell you, does the association train
[00:39:52] women? I mean, many women have a profession, but they don't know how
[00:39:56] to photograph it, they don't know how to display it, they don't know how to use
[00:39:59] social media, e-commerce,
[00:40:02] and even small project management, pricing, and these
[00:40:05] things. Do you give them training courses or do you participate
[00:40:09] in workshops that help them produce these products in the best
[00:40:12] way? Oh, yes, that's right. We and even the institutions
[00:40:16] in the country send someone, I mean, for
[00:40:19] workshops, and we host them and invite
[00:40:22] women and they help them. And I was, and even
[00:40:25] young people, I mean, we need you young women and men to help
[00:40:29] us, to help women in marketing
[00:40:33] and ideas. And we also
[00:40:36] do most of our marketing in the association, what serves us
[00:40:39] are the bazaars, honestly, and the exhibitions. Aha. So
[00:40:43] these things are displayed by women, I mean, during
[00:40:45] the bazaar and during the exhibitions, they display their products
[00:40:49] and people get to know them. And they also, this talk
[00:40:52] is, as they say, face to face display. And this
[00:40:56] talk really helped
[00:41:03] women a lot and introduced them. Ms. Maha, I mean,
[00:41:07] the association has been around for almost 11 years, and over
[00:41:11] these 11 years there has been a great change in the economic,
[00:41:14] political, and security conditions that have affected
[00:41:18] the situation of our Palestinian people, and of course, the category
[00:41:22] of women and children are most affected. So what
[00:41:25] is the most you have touched on during these
[00:41:29] years, I mean, what has happened to the situation of women, especially
[00:41:32] in Serda?
[00:41:35] We
[00:41:39] political situations and things that happened affected
[00:41:42] us, for example, in
[00:41:52] allowed for war conditions and political conditions. But we
[00:41:55] used to meet, as they say, on social media, what we can
[00:41:59] do, we communicate, what we can do, we raise
[00:42:02] each other's morale, and especially for these children, there was
[00:42:05] school disruption, as you said, which affects mothers when
[00:42:09] children don't go to school due to the circumstances that happen
[00:42:13] in our country. They find solutions,
[00:42:16] activities for children, educational and recreational,
[00:42:20] psychological. These things, I mean, but we,
[00:42:24] thank God, I don't feel that people are still
[00:42:28] well and their spirits are still strong. Well, thank God.
[00:42:32] That's how I feel in Serda. There isn't such a difficult negative
[00:42:35] impact. Well, I hope to God we are always like this. I
[00:42:38] feel that in Serda. Well, thank God, I hope you always feel
[00:42:42] this way. Well, I want to talk about your work over these long
[00:42:46] years. Is there a woman
[00:42:49] scratch and you felt that she
[00:42:52] achieved economic and social empowerment
[00:42:55] and now has a source of income that
[00:42:58] affected you and you felt that her success story must be told everywhere?
[00:43:02] Yes, by God, we have, especially
[00:43:06] those who take orders when you order food.
[00:43:11] They do these things and they have succeeded until now, they are successful and happy
[00:43:15] with what they have, they have a good income and very good successes, and they do,
[00:43:19] I mean, they have named themselves, for example, we have Um Al-Amir's kitchen. Aha.
[00:43:23] The lady, she succeeded very
[00:43:26] well. We also have those who make, she specializes
[00:43:30] in food, in the kitchen. We also have those who
[00:43:33] make, for example, ghee, za'atar, tatli,
[00:43:37] pickles, olives, cheeses.
[00:43:40] I mean, there is demand for things that are more related to pantry staples.
[00:43:44] Well, Ms. Maha, I mean, why is it today, even though
[00:43:47] we are a people famous for these things, but
[00:43:51] today we have started looking for
[00:43:54] pantry staples and who makes olives and who makes
[00:43:57] jam and who makes makdous? Well, where did the activity of Palestinian
[00:44:00] women go? Do you think that work, the exit
[00:44:04] of women to work,
[00:44:08] the reasons. for work, and then also
[00:44:12] that you want to help yourself in finding
[00:44:15] the things that our ancestors were used to and we grew up with
[00:44:19] بطريقه يعني اسهل تسهل عليك معظم الستات
[00:44:23] they find someone
[00:44:25] it's not permanent, not every
[00:44:29] day, and people differ. Some people order today, some people order another day,
[00:44:33] some people order a month. So these things are available because
[00:44:36] food is essential, and when food is essential,
[00:44:46] its taste is not like the taste of what you make.
[00:44:51] home-based projects remains 100% because they say it's homemade,
[00:44:55] meaning you're like telling your sister, "Sister, help me with this dish, make
[00:44:59] it for me," for example, or your neighbor, or
[00:45:01] your mother-in-law. So this is available
[00:45:05] and it stays fresh because you don't make quantities that last
[00:45:08] for years.
[00:45:10] No, it needs fresh things. Something
[00:45:14] every season, for example. So when these things
[00:45:17] are available, they help
[00:45:21] in business, where is the thing that the largest
[00:45:26] The things that people need and are
[00:45:29] their prices are reasonable.
[00:45:33] So these things help
[00:45:36] works from home. Correct, and people always
[00:45:40] of cleanliness and better quality and all these
[00:45:43] about your future projects. What
[00:45:47] future projects do you have, whether productive,
[00:45:50] sales, training, access to
[00:45:54] board will take over next week,
[00:45:58] and they were among the founders of the association,
[00:46:01] and I thank them, and I salute them.
[00:46:04] They
[00:46:06] are now planning to develop
[00:46:11] the work within
[00:46:38] from natural things. So they are heading towards this and they are thinking of
[00:46:42] and developing it.
[00:46:46] For example, through workshops, as I told you, we had more than one
[00:46:49] workshop from the institutions that are concerned with sending someone
[00:46:52] to help us learn how to make soap, make perfumes, make
[00:46:56] these things. So this is the development, and involving
[00:46:59] young people, honestly, involving young women with us, not just us old
[00:47:03] ladies, I mean, to have our children
[00:47:06] and grandchildren
[00:47:09] and be active with us in these ideas, not just be female
[00:47:13] ideas, and it's something that women care about for the home
[00:47:15] والاسره فيصير لهن دور معنا نحن هذا اللي
[00:47:19] are thinking about. No, I mean, the women's association is not intended
[00:47:23] to only establish a republic for women.
[00:47:26] It is for all members of society, but with female leadership
[00:47:29] and a female vision that achieves
[00:47:32] balance in society and seeks
[00:47:36] and does them justice. We involve them 100% and their role is
[00:47:40] active and influential and a leading role, not just involvement.
[00:47:43] But Ms. Maha, what I want to ask you about also is, do you
[00:47:46] establish, for example, or do you have a specialized committee
[00:47:50] for psychological and social work? That works on providing
[00:47:54] psychological and social counseling for women. You know, homes
[00:47:57] مليانه البيوت اسرار البيوت فيها كثير
[00:48:01] But sometimes we hear about the role
[00:48:04] الجمعيات بنصحوا السيدات انه انفصلي تطلقي
[00:48:08] And there are associations that have a role in bringing the family together
[00:48:12] and preserving it, and have an active role in bringing views closer. Do
[00:48:16] you do this work? We, by God, honestly, we had
[00:48:21] come and give advice to women
[00:48:24] about what women's rights are, how
[00:48:27] sisters, how sisters sit
[00:48:31] But a specialist, no.
[00:48:34] We are among ourselves, I mean,
[00:48:38] there would be a session of women, we talk about good things
[00:48:42] for the children's psychological state, for the woman's psychological state,
[00:48:45] empty your energy in this way, exercise,
[00:48:48] I mean, think about what you can do to energize yourself,
[00:48:51] an activity that gives you positive energy
[00:48:55] and gives you sound
[00:48:57] way. But to tell you, I mean, things
[00:49:00] that someone specialized, by God, until now, no. I mean, it's a good idea to take it
[00:49:04] into consideration. Into
[00:49:07] consideration, you need to, yes, one develops, starts sending,
[00:49:11] I mean, asking about. Especially in light of our
[00:49:14] difficult economic, political,
[00:49:17] through. Well, I want to give advice from you to every
[00:49:20] woman who has
[00:49:24] and people always
[00:49:28] بدك تنصحيها انها هي تبلش وتساعد حالها
[00:49:31] لحتى هي تنجز وتكون
[00:49:34] society? By God, I advise them to always think
[00:49:38] that she can, even something she doesn't
[00:49:41] know, she can learn and she can master it.
[00:49:44] And if she doesn't have a talent for something specific,
[00:49:48] but she can
[00:49:51] start doing it, look for herself, search for herself for
[00:49:54] something that she
[00:49:57] she can try and work on it.
[00:50:00] I advise them to try and I advise
[00:50:04] them not to lose hope that I might not
[00:50:07] succeed in this thing. No, I know this thing, I master
[00:50:12] one should try and insist if
[00:50:15] they want to do something
[00:50:17] and they see it in the right way and they try,
[00:50:21] they can get information. As much as they can get and do
[00:50:24] and succeed. Yes, Ms. Maha, a beautiful
[00:50:28] and heartfelt advice, and I hope women will take it. Thank you very much,
