[00:00:00] for lands that are prohibited from being accessed, whether they are behind
[00:00:03] the wall or near the wall, or near the settlement
[00:00:07] outposts, or near the bypass roads.
[00:00:11] This escalating attack comes within the framework of plans
[00:00:14] to seize lands and expand roads
[00:00:18] and settlement outposts at the expense of citizens'
[00:00:21] lands, where farmers daily face
[00:00:24] the closure of agricultural roads and the prevention
[00:00:28] of access to their lands. This makes the olive
[00:00:31] and "Maqalat" (Articles), published
[00:00:33] and ensuring their rights tree susceptible to drought and uprooting. Salfit
[00:00:36] Governorate is one of the governorates where more than
[00:00:40] 5,000 olive trees were uprooted this year,
[00:00:43] and in the rest
[00:00:45] of the governorates, the number of trees increased to
[00:00:48] more than 6,000 olive trees
[00:00:51] for this sudden change because they know very well what this
[00:00:55] tree represents for our people, in addition to
[00:00:58] its political and economic importance. And its religious
[00:01:02] symbol and political importance means the rootedness of our
[00:01:05] people in their land, but despite their procedures, we in the ministry
[00:01:09] and our partners are working to strengthen
[00:01:12] the steadfastness of our farmers. These numbers were
[00:01:16] not just fleeting statistics in the records
[00:01:19] of damages, but represented targeting
[00:01:22] with historical and geographical
[00:01:24] dimensions, as the uprooting and bulldozing
[00:01:28] operations were concentrated in areas vital areas such as Deir
[00:01:31] Ballout, Hares, Deir Istiya, Marda, and Salfit.
[00:01:35] The attacks directly targeted
[00:01:38] he was arrested again in what are known as ancient trees, bringing down
[00:01:42] with them decades of memory
[00:01:46] and field care that
[00:01:49] the Palestinian farmer put in.
[00:01:52] The loss of this large number of trees has serious
[00:01:56] consequences for the future of the agricultural sector and the connection
[00:02:00] of farmers to their land. From the city
[00:02:03] of Salfit, Muhammad Shtayyeh, Palestine
[00:02:06] TV. In a move that reflects the continued
[00:02:09] manifestations of bias in dealing with the crimes of the occupation soldiers, Israeli
[00:02:13] President Isaac Herz decided to erase the criminal record of former
[00:02:17] soldier Elor Azaria, who was convicted of killing the wounded Abdul Fattah al-Sharif in
[00:02:20] Hebron about 10 years ago, despite his refusal to express
[00:02:24] remorse and take responsibility for his actions.
[00:02:26] The decision came in response to a request submitted by
[00:02:30] Israeli War Minister Israel Katz. The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that
[00:02:34] Herzog based his decision on the passage of years since the incident
[00:02:37] and Azaria's completion of his sentence. The case dates back to
[00:02:40] March 24, 2016, when Azaria,
[00:02:43] who was a soldier in
[00:02:47] of trees during widespread attacks in the occupation army, opened fire on citizen Abdul Fattah al-Sharif in Tel Rumeida while al-Sharif
[00:02:50] was wounded and lying on the ground, which led to his immediate
[00:02:53] martyrdom.
[00:02:58] King Abdullah II, during a European tour that included
[00:03:02] France and the Czech Republic, highlighted the Palestinian cause in his talks, emphasizing
[00:03:06] the importance of stopping settlements and actions that undermine the two-state
[00:03:09] solution.
[00:03:14] In a European tour that included France and the Czech
[00:03:16] Republic, Jordanian King Abdullah
[00:03:21] he published in newspapers II placed the Palestinian issue at the forefront of his discussions,
[00:03:24] emphasizing the importance of stopping Israeli actions that
[00:03:27] undermine the two-state solution and rejecting
[00:03:30] attempts to displace Palestinians and annex their lands.
[00:03:33] In Paris, King Abdullah and French President Emmanuel
[00:03:36] Macron stressed the need to take practical steps within
[00:03:40] a clear timeline to establish an independent
[00:03:44] Palestinian state with sovereignty on the June 4,
[00:03:47] 1967 borders, with East
[00:03:50] Jerusalem as its capital. In the Czech capital, Prague,
[00:03:53] King Abdullah II affirmed during his discussions with President Petr
[00:03:57] Pavel Jordan's rejection of settlement expansion
[00:04:00] and escalating settler attacks and any attempts to impose
[00:04:05] nationalism and Arabism in a new reality in the West Bank and Jerusalem. He also stressed the need
[00:04:08] to preserve the historical and legal status quo in Islamic
[00:04:12] and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem. Jordan is certainly engaged in diplomatic
[00:04:16] engagement with all parties with political weight and influence in the international
[00:04:20] political arena and influencing the Israeli side,
[00:04:23] and perhaps in another context, an appeal to international legitimacy with its
[00:04:26] figures and charters to fulfill its international
[00:04:30] legal, humanitarian,
[00:04:34] of Zionist colonies on and moral obligations. The royal tour comes at a time when Jordanian
[00:04:37] movements are continuing at the international level to mobilize support for the Palestinian
[00:04:41] cause and push towards stopping the war on Gaza
[00:04:45] and ensuring the delivery of aid and rejecting displacement,
[00:04:48] annexation, and settlement. Between Paris and Prague,
[00:04:51] Jordan affirmed that achieving regional peace remains linked to the establishment
[00:04:55] in the Islamic Conference of an independent Palestinian state and ending the occupation
[00:04:58] and preserving the legitimate rights of the Palestinian
[00:05:01] people. Jordan's efforts to stop the escalating
[00:05:04] violence in the West Bank and Gaza
[00:05:07] stem from Jordan's belief
[00:05:09] that Israeli escalation has targeted the entire
[00:05:13] region. Ahmed Badran, Palestine TV,
[00:05:16] Amman. The American city of Chicago
[00:05:20] witnessed a protest in front of the American Medical Association
[00:05:23] demanding the release of the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu
[00:05:27] Safiya, along with doctors, nurses, and health sector workers
[00:05:31] detained by the occupation authorities. Participants
[00:05:34] raised slogans calling for the protection of medical workers,
[00:05:37] stressing the need for American medical and human rights
[00:05:40] institutions to pressure for the disclosure of the detainees' conditions
[00:05:46] and working for
[00:05:46] their release.
[00:05:51] US President Trump cut short his weekend vacation at
[00:05:54] Camp David resort in Maryland and unexpectedly
[00:05:57] returned to the White House before his scheduled return date, without
[00:06:00] his administration offering any official explanation
[00:06:03] in schedule. This step comes amid a sharp escalation of tensions in the Middle
[00:06:07] East. Following this, the US State Department, through
[00:06:11] its embassy, raised the level of security precautions
[00:06:14] for its citizens, warning of what it described as a complex
[00:06:17] security environment that carries the potential for unexpected
[00:06:20] escalation.
[00:06:24] The Iranian Fars news agency quoted Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf
[00:06:28] as saying that Iran will not open the Strait of Hormuz until the United
[00:06:31] States meets its conditions and commitments. Qalibaf
[00:06:35] said that Iran must fight and negotiate at the same
[00:06:38] time, adding that Tehran will use military force
[00:06:41] to deter its performance and diplomacy to consolidate its gains
[00:06:45] on the battlefield when the appropriate time comes,
[00:06:48] he said.
[00:06:52] Russian authorities reported that Moscow and its surroundings were attacked by more than
[00:06:56] 1,600 drones, resulting in the death of two people and causing
[00:06:59] damage to important oil refineries on the last day of the Russian parliamentary
[00:07:03] elections. The mayor of Moscow described the Ukrainian
[00:07:06] attack as unprecedented, accusing Kyiv of seeking to disrupt
[00:07:09] the parliamentary elections. In a third location
[00:07:13] affected by the attack, 400 people were evacuated due to a fire
[00:07:17] that broke out after a drone crashed into one
[00:07:19] of the buildings.
[00:07:30] and his body detained near the village of Hadad السياحيه (Tourist Village) east of
[00:07:32] Jenin.
[00:07:43] Injuries due to shelling and shooting in the Gaza Strip, coinciding with
[00:07:47] extensive
[00:07:47] sweeping operations.
[00:07:56] Injuries, arrests, and uprooting
[00:07:59] the West Bank, and the occupation closes the entrances and exits of Ramallah.
[00:08:02] The occupation turns
[00:08:10] Jerusalem into a military barracks. Hundreds of settlers desecrate
[00:08:14] Al-Aqsa, and Netanyahu and ministers of my government storm the Western
[00:08:18] Wall.
[00:08:26] Trump abruptly cuts short his vacation, and Washington warns its citizens in the Middle
[00:08:30] East of potential
[00:08:32] escalation.
[00:10:36] The government is building new settlements in all
[00:10:40] areas. Smotrich and Ben-Gvir's
[00:10:44] election program from the beginning is seizure and the end
[00:10:47] of Hebron, and they are working on that. Unfortunately, there is
[00:10:51] no reaction from the United Nations and the Security Council
[00:10:55] and the international community. This
[00:10:58] step is a major escalation for the city and very difficult for the city's residents.
[00:18:21] Muhammad Ali Al-Taher was born in Nablus in
[00:18:25] 1896
[00:18:27] and received his primary and secondary education in
[00:18:30] its schools. He began his career in journalism
[00:18:34] as a correspondent for the newspaper "Fata Al-Arab"
[00:18:37] in Beirut in Jaffa. When World War
[00:18:41] I broke out, he sought refuge in Cairo, fleeing the oppression
[00:18:44] of Jamal Pasha. However, the British authorities in Egypt
[00:18:48] arrested him and placed him in
[00:18:50] the Giza detention center for more than two years. At the end
[00:18:54] of the war, he returned to Palestine and participated in
[00:18:58] editing the newspaper "Southern Syria" in the city
[00:19:01] of Jerusalem. He was appointed postmaster in
[00:19:04] Nablus, but he could not remain in his
[00:19:08] job, so he resigned in protest against the policy
[00:19:11] of the British Mandate government. In 1920,
[00:19:14] he returned to Cairo
[00:19:18] and sought to form the Palestinian Committee, in addition
[00:19:22] to his continuous writing about Palestine
[00:19:25] in several newspapers and building extensive
[00:19:28] relationships with a number of prominent Egyptian figures.
[00:19:32] In 1924,
[00:19:35] he launched the newspaper Al-Shura, which became a link
[00:19:39] in the field of
[00:19:43] the homeland and abroad. Its administration included leaders
[00:19:46] of jihad and thought in the Arab world.
[00:19:49] During that time, he published
[00:19:52] newsletters from the Palestinian Information Office about the atrocities
[00:19:56] of colonialism during the Syrian and Palestinian
[00:19:59] revolutions.
[00:20:03] In 1925, he visited Palestine
[00:20:08] and witnessed with his own eyes the establishment
[00:20:11] Arab lands on the ruins of Palestinian
[00:20:14] villages. He returned to Egypt, and his campaign
[00:20:18] against Britain and the Zionist movement
[00:20:21] intensified. He began writing and publishing
[00:20:25] and was arrested as a result.
[00:20:27] In
[00:20:30] 1931, he participated
[00:20:33] held in Jerusalem and recorded what he
[00:20:37] saw in Palestine and what came to his mind in his book "Nadhrat
[00:20:41] Al-Shura." In the same year, he
[00:20:44] was forced to close the newspaper Al-Shura under pressure from the British
[00:20:47] authorities and the Egyptian government
[00:20:50] affiliated with them at that time. He returned
[00:20:54] to Palestine again before the outbreak of the 1926
[00:20:57] revolution, but he could not stay
[00:21:01] there for long because the Mandate authorities warned him
[00:21:04] to leave, so he returned to Cairo and took
[00:21:08] upon himself the task of media regarding
[00:21:12] the revolution, its events, and its goals.
[00:21:15] He compiled news of the revolution and the crimes of the Mandate
[00:21:18] authorities in his book "Palestine, the Land
[00:21:22] of Martyrs," but the British authorities
[00:21:25] confiscated it before its printing and it was not destined
[00:21:28] to see the light. In
[00:21:31] 1945, he was arrested in Egypt
[00:21:34] and fell ill in detention and was transferred to one
[00:21:37] of the hospitals, but he escaped from it and remained
[00:21:40] wandering in hiding for two years until
[00:21:44] his friend Mustafa Al-Nahhas became Prime
[00:21:47] Minister, who ordered not
[00:21:50] to pursue him. Al-Taher recorded his suffering in prison
[00:21:53] and homelessness in a book he published titled "The Darkness
[00:21:56] of Prison." When efforts began to establish
[00:21:59] the League of Arab States, he contributed effectively
[00:22:03] to ensure that Palestine had a place in it
[00:22:06] and stood against the United Nations
[00:22:10] for approving the project to partition Palestine and blamed
[00:22:13] Britain for what happened and is happening and recorded
[00:22:16] that in a book titled "Red
[00:22:19] Book" about the atrocities of the British, the treachery
[00:22:22] of the Jews, and the love of the Arabs. In
[00:22:25] 1949,
[00:22:28] Cairo, which he left in 1955
[00:22:32] after spending more than 35
[00:22:35] years there and settled in Beirut.
[00:22:38] Al-Taher focused
[00:22:42] in all his writings on Britain's primary
[00:22:45] role in the process of Judaization
[00:22:48] and deceiving the Arabs, unlike other Arab politicians
[00:22:52] and journalists who turned to confronting
[00:22:55] the Zionist movement separately from Britain.
[00:22:58] He says in one of his writings:
[00:23:00] "As for the English, they endeared
[00:23:04] themselves to the Arabs and Islam with their well-known methods,
[00:23:07] which I don't know how they managed to
[00:23:11] convince the inhabitants of the Earth that they
[00:23:14] are supporters of the weak and an example of honesty
[00:23:17] and sincerity among all peoples. An example
[00:23:20] of this is us. When the English denied
[00:23:23] their conspiracy against Palestine to separate it from the Arab
[00:23:27] nation,
[00:23:28] we believed them."
[00:23:31] He blamed Britain alone for the entire burden
[00:23:33] and said, "When the Balfour Declaration
[00:23:37] came to strike in front of all the inhabitants of the Earth
[00:23:40] every right and insult humanity
[00:23:44] by announcing in the name of just and honest Britain to make
[00:23:47] Palestine a strong homeland
[00:23:51] for the Jews."
[00:23:54] As for his stances on the policies of some Arab
[00:23:57] regimes at that time, Muhammad Ali
[00:24:01] Al-Taher documented them in his book "The Darkness of Prison,"
[00:24:04] which he published in 1945, in addition
[00:24:07] to many articles
[00:24:11] during World War II, in which he warned
[00:24:14] against the policies of some Arab regimes loyal
[00:24:18] to Britain and the countries of what
[00:24:22] became known as the Allied Axis. As for his role
[00:24:25] and status in the journalistic life in Egypt,
[00:24:28] there is no doubt that the man had a great and prominent
[00:24:31] position. In addition to his full
[00:24:35] biography, we can see some aspects through
[00:24:38] our examination of his newspaper Al-Shura,
[00:24:42] which, when he published it, he formed a board of directors
[00:24:46] from prominent writers and journalists in Egypt, Palestine,
[00:24:50] and other Arab countries. The launch of Al-Shura
[00:24:53] newspaper was met with high-level welcome.
[00:24:56] Researcher Samih Shabib mentions that due
[00:25:00] to Al-Shura newspaper's distinction in fighting
[00:25:03] colonialism, whatever its type and color,
[00:25:06] and its alignment with Arab liberation
[00:25:09] movements, the British Mandate government in
[00:25:13] Palestine promptly banned its distribution
[00:25:17] after the French colonial authorities banned
[00:25:20] its entry into Syria and Lebanon. Then Britain
[00:25:23] banned it from Sudan and Transjordan
[00:25:26] and Iraq. Then Italy banned its entry into Libya.
[00:25:30] Then France expanded the ban to include Tunisia, Algeria,
[00:25:34] and Morocco. The decision to ban Al-Shura from
[00:25:37] entering Palestine was issued on January 1,
[00:25:41] 1926.
[00:25:49] Prominent Egyptian journalists, writers,
[00:25:52] and intellectuals held a tribute ceremony for Al-Shura in
[00:25:56] 1928
[00:25:59] in the capital, Cairo. In this
[00:26:06] occasion, he praised Al-Shura newspaper
[00:26:09] and its owner. Tunisian leader Abdel Aziz
[00:26:13] Al-Thaalibi also sent a letter in
[00:26:16] which he described Al-Taher's newspaper as "the Shura of the Arabs
[00:26:20] and the cry of the oppressed."
[00:26:24] Muhammad Ali Al-Taher left several
[00:26:26] works that enriched the Arab library,
[00:26:29] including "Nadhrat Al-Shura"
[00:26:34] in Cairo in
[00:26:35] 1932.
[00:26:38] "The Lands of Najd and Hejaz Triumph for Palestine,"
[00:26:42] "In Memory of Prince Shakib Arslan," "Collected
[00:26:46] Papers," "The Darkness of Prison," which
[00:26:49] is the memoirs of an escaped prisoner.
