[00:00:00] The long one in which we were displaced from should be in. the camp is a scene that affects
[00:00:03] the details of daily life here, from
[00:00:06] the farmer who fears reaching his land, to the family
[00:00:10] that is searching for a safe path to life.
[00:00:14] And the child who grows up amid incursions and the sound
[00:00:17] of bullets. While the area of damage expands
[00:00:20] and losses increase, a layer
[00:00:23] of generosity stands before a heavy humanitarian reality,
[00:00:27] a harsh reality and difficult
[00:00:31] main road linking humanitarian conditions that are exacerbated by the occupation's continuous aggression for the second day
[00:00:35] after 600 days on Tulkarm and Nur
[00:00:40] Middle East, and following Shams camps. From outside Nur Shams camp, Bayan
[00:00:43] Diab, Palestine TV.
[00:00:47] in the region, raised In a scene that reflects the extent of the losses incurred by the agricultural sector,
[00:00:50] the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture revealed
[00:00:54] the destruction of about 5,000 olive trees since
[00:00:58] the beginning of this year in Salfit Governorate, which exacerbates
[00:01:01] the losses incurred by
[00:01:04] farmers. The latest data
[00:01:07] from the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture revealed
[00:01:10] shocking figures
[00:01:12] hundreds, of olive trees were uprooted in that reflect the scale of the environmental
[00:01:15] Agriculture and the municipal council there and economic catastrophe that befell Salfit Governorate
[00:01:19] with the elimination of about 5,000 olive
[00:01:24] their lands. This trees since the beginning of this year, through
[00:01:26] uprooting, burning, and systematic destruction.
[00:01:31] Of course, this year Salfit lost more than 5,000
[00:01:34] olive trees, and most of them are old Roman trees in
[00:01:38] several areas, especially in Salfit city itself, and Kafr
[00:01:41] Haris, Marda, Deir Istiya, Yassouf,
[00:01:45] and many even in some other villages. There are also some
[00:01:48] demolitions, but these areas
[00:01:51] were concentrated in these towns, and this is considered
[00:01:55] a great loss for farmers and
[00:01:58] for the Palestinian economy, as this
[00:02:02] large amount of
[00:02:04] that reflects the continued bias olive oil will be lost
[00:02:07] to the country, in addition to the lands that are prevented from being accessed,
[00:02:10] whether behind the wall, near the wall,
[00:02:14] and returns, near settlement outposts, or near bypass roads.
[00:02:17] This escalating attack comes within the framework
[00:02:20] of plans to seize land
[00:02:23] and expand roads and settlement outposts
[00:02:27] at the expense of citizens'
[00:02:29] emphasizing the presence of the prisoners' issue in land, where farmers face daily
[00:02:31] road closures and prevention of access
[00:02:35] to their lands, which leaves the olive
[00:02:38] tree susceptible to drought
[00:02:41] and bulldozing. Salfit Governorate is one of the governorates where
[00:02:45] more than 5,000 olive trees
[00:02:47] meeting is a tribute from were uprooted this year,
[00:02:51] army, opened fire on and the rest of the governorates increased
[00:02:53] the number of trees to more than 60,000 olive
[00:02:56] trees
[00:02:58] Al-Sharif was injured and lying because they know
[00:03:00] very well what this tree represents for our people, in addition to
[00:03:04] its economic and religious importance.
[00:03:07] It has a political symbol and importance that means the rooting of
[00:03:11] our people in their land, but despite their measures, we in
[00:03:15] the ministry and our partners
[00:03:18] and arrests in a number are working to strengthen the steadfastness
[00:03:20] are carrying a message from of our farmers. These figures were not just fleeting statistics
[00:03:25] violations and withdrawal from from this movement. Representatives in the records of damages, but
[00:03:27] rather represented targeting with
[00:03:30] historical and geographical dimensions,
[00:03:33] as bulldozing and uprooting
[00:03:36] of the student youth movement in operations were concentrated in vital areas such as Deir Ballut, Haris,
[00:03:39] Deir Istiya, Marda, and Salfit. The attacks
[00:03:43] directly targeted what are known
[00:03:46] as old trees, taking with them
[00:03:50] decades of memory
[00:03:54] founders of the student youth movement and field care that was given by the
[00:03:57] Palestinian farmer. The loss
[00:04:00] of a large number of trees has
[00:04:02] town with a number serious consequences for the future of the agricultural
[00:04:05] sector and the attachment of farmers to
[00:04:08] their lands. From Salfit city, Mohammed Ashtiyeh,

[00:04:16] via Zoom by
[00:04:19] countryside after an incursion into the coordinator of agricultural relief in Salfit, Ibrahim Abu Hajjla. Good evening.
[00:04:23] And after the greetings, the occupation continues
[00:04:25] and strengthens its measures and uprooting
[00:04:28] of fruit-bearing and old trees, as
[00:04:32] happened in Salfit, and reports indicated that more than
[00:04:35] 5,000 olive trees were destroyed
[00:04:39] by the occupation
[00:04:40] forces.
[00:04:44] solutions, but at the First of all, good evening
[00:04:46] to all of you, and good evening to the dear viewers.
[00:04:50] community in Salfit in particular has been subjected to a strong campaign by
[00:04:53] the occupation forces in recent years,
[00:04:55] by the government to advance specifically targeting old olive trees
[00:04:58] throughout the governorate. As
[00:05:02] mentioned in the report and the Ministry of Agriculture's statistics, more than 5,000 olive
[00:05:05] trees have been cut down since the beginning of the year. These
[00:05:09] for the Israeli withdrawal from attacks were concentrated in many areas in
[00:05:12] Salfit governorate. The most important of them were concentrated in Salfit
[00:05:15] city, in the Wadi Al-Shaer area and Al-Rawas
[00:05:19] area and Deir Ballut area in the western
[00:05:22] region and along the main street, i.e. Street
[00:05:25] 505, the Samaritan bypass, which extends
[00:05:29] from Haris junction to
[00:05:33] the intersection of Ariel. Hundreds and tens
[00:05:37] of old olive trees have been bulldozed along the main street under
[00:05:41] the pretext of widening the
[00:05:44] the area, or under or in other
[00:05:47] diseases under flimsy pretexts of the occupation forces
[00:05:51] and security pretexts aimed at removing olive
[00:05:54] trees from the vicinity of intersections.
[00:05:57] Olive trees in Salfit are subjected to a strong attack.
[00:06:00] Most of the trees that are being cut down are old
[00:06:04] and large in their age.
[00:06:06] They represent several generations of people
[00:06:10] who lived through this tree.
[00:06:13] The attacks are still continuing until today in the Deir Ballut area, where
[00:06:16] bulldozing has continued for more than 20 days
[00:06:19] of continuous bulldozing in the western region. Dozens, even
[00:06:24] the area. The Ministry of
[00:06:28] cannot reach the area to assess the damage due to the presence
[00:06:32] of settlers and the occupation preventing farmers from reaching
[00:06:36] attack is not limited to olive trees, but
[00:06:40] also involves the destruction of the land's infrastructure
[00:06:43] by bulldozing stone walls
[00:06:45] and cutting off roads and bulldozing
[00:06:49] agricultural roads in the area with the aim of establishing roads connecting
[00:06:53] settlers in those areas. Unfortunately, the attacks
[00:06:56] are still continuing and strong against
[00:07:00] farmers in the Salfit area in general.
[00:07:03] The coordinator of agricultural relief in Salfit, Ibrahim Abu Hajjla, thank you very much.
[00:07:06] You're
[00:07:08] welcome.
[00:07:10] In the context of activities supporting the prisoner movement,
[00:07:14] Fatah Youth Movement held its
[00:07:18] national meeting in support of the freedom of leader
[00:07:21] Marwan Barghouti and all our brave prisoners at Ramallah
[00:07:24] Cultural Palace.
[00:07:27] In loyalty to the captive leader Marwan Barghouti, member of the Central Committee
[00:07:30] of Fatah movement, and all prisoners in the occupation prisons,
[00:07:34] the Fatah Youth in the West Bank organized a solidarity meeting with the participation
[00:07:37] of its various frameworks and components,
[00:07:41] the national and student consciousness. The meeting came amidst
[00:07:45] the difficult conditions and continuous violations faced by the prisoner
[00:07:48] movement inside the occupation prison, to provide a space
[00:07:51] to express loyalty to the prisoners' sacrifices and to commemorate
[00:07:55] their role in the national struggle. This
[00:07:59] the Fatah Youth to leader
[00:08:02] Marwan Barghouti and all prisoners, especially in these
[00:08:05] difficult circumstances that prisoners are living in, and the continuous
[00:08:08] torture and abuse by the occupation authorities.
[00:08:13] The Fatah Youth is dear to
[00:08:15] the heart of Abu Al-Qassam, who
[00:08:19] has a history
[00:08:22] of establishing this youth movement,
[00:08:25] and he was fully aware that this youth movement
[00:08:28] would continue the journey, and today the youth confirm that they
[00:08:33] the great leaders and
[00:08:37] from the Youth Secretariat and its leaders in the governorates
[00:08:40] participated in the meeting, along with the Youth of universities, in affirmation
[00:08:44] of continuing to carry the message of Marwan, who was one of the founders
[00:08:49] universities. This meeting comes to express
[00:08:52] loyalty, because the first thing we learned when we entered
[00:08:55] this institution is that loyalty is met with loyalty. Brother Abu Al-Qassam Marwan
[00:08:59] Barghouti spent long years in the occupation prisons, and he was
[00:09:03] one of the pioneering
[00:09:06] in universities, and the least we can offer him and all
[00:09:10] our prisoners is to remember them constantly.
[00:09:21] to be in this institution children of this people, children of this homeland, serving our student
[00:09:26] meeting comes as an affirmation of the continued student presence in supporting the prisoners'
[00:09:30] cause and recalling their sacrifices and their role
[00:09:33] in the national movement. From
[00:09:36] this activity, the student youth confirms that the prisoners' issue is present in the national
[00:09:40] and student consciousness. In solidarity with the captive leader Marwan Barghouti
[00:09:44] and in condemnation of the attacks and violations practiced by the Israeli
[00:09:48] occupation prison administration against him. From Ramallah Cultural Palace,

[00:09:55] The Ministry of Education and Higher Education opened five schools in Nablus
[00:09:58] city, which came as contributions from the local
[00:10:02] the city. As part of the continuous efforts
[00:10:08] education, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education
[00:10:11] opened five schools in Nablus city, which came as contributions
[00:10:15] provided by the people of the city in terms of construction, finishing,
[00:10:18] and fully equipping them. This
[00:10:21] embodies the true partnership between the local
[00:10:25] community and the Palestinian government. Education
[00:10:28] is the lifeline of the Palestinian people. Today,
[00:10:31] we renew the planting of hope in the hearts of our children, despite all
[00:10:35] the challenges that we all face. What
[00:10:38] the occupation is doing in terms of aggression against our schools, especially in the areas
[00:10:42] targeted by settler gangs,
[00:10:45] we respond to today with Palestinian
[00:10:48] will by building more schools,
[00:10:51] building knowledge and science to make these schools a symbol of pioneering
[00:10:55] and creativity. Five new schools in Nablus city are entering
[00:10:58] educational service in a step aimed at strengthening the infrastructure
[00:11:02] of the educational sector and providing a more suitable educational
[00:11:06] environment for students in light of the challenges that our
[00:11:09] people are facing. The opening of five new schools in Nablus
[00:11:12] city is a step to strengthen
[00:11:15] education despite the obstacles of the occupation, despite the occupation's
[00:11:19] measures, but our goal is to establish a Palestinian state. Education is a red
[00:11:22] line for the Palestinian people. The instructions of President
[00:11:25] Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen are clear: prioritize education
[00:11:29] and health first and foremost. Today, the opening
[00:11:32] of this gives a glimmer of hope and frankly tells our Palestinian people,
[00:11:36] our families, and parents that we cannot
[00:11:39] give up on education, and everyone is interested in education. Yes,
[00:11:42] today, in the nest of scholars in Nablus, five
[00:11:45] schools, and the list goes on. There are three other schools that, God willing,
[00:11:49] we will announce during the ceremony. New donors for three
[00:11:53] new schools to be added to the list of five schools.
[00:11:57] This confirms that the good people of Nablus, who believe
[00:12:00] that the education process is not just for education, but
[00:12:03] for steadfastness, for identity, to strengthen
[00:12:07] the will of the Palestinian citizen. The Minister of Education
[00:12:10] and Higher Education and the accompanying delegation toured the schools that were
[00:12:13] opened in Nablus city, stressing the continuation
[00:12:16] of practical steps to raise the efficiency of the education
[00:12:20] system in Palestine. Mohammed Al-Khatib,
[00:12:23] Palestine TV. Nablus. In a move
[00:12:29] in dealing with the crimes of occupation soldiers, Israeli
[00:12:32] President Isaac Herzog decided to erase the criminal
[00:12:35] record of former soldier Elor Azaria, who
[00:12:39] was convicted of killing the wounded Abdel Fattah Al-Sharif in Hebron
[00:12:42] nearly ten years ago, despite his refusal to express
[00:12:46] remorse and take responsibility for his actions.
[00:12:49] The decision came in response to a request submitted by the Israeli
[00:12:53] occupation army minister, Katz. The official Israeli
[00:12:56] Broadcasting Corporation said that Herzog based
[00:13:00] his decision on the passage of years since the incident
[00:13:03] and Azaria's completion of his sentence.
[00:13:06] The case dates back to March 24,
[00:13:09] 2016, when Azaria, who
[00:13:13] was a soldier in the occupation
[00:13:16] citizen Abdel Fattah Al-Sharif in the Tel Rumeida area in
[00:13:19] Hebron, while
[00:13:23] on the ground, which led to
[00:13:35] Israeli attacks continue in southern
[00:13:38] Syria, including artillery shelling, incursions,
[00:13:43] of villages and towns, coinciding with diplomatic
[00:13:46] moves to demand an end to these
[00:13:50] Syrian
[00:13:51] territories.
[00:13:54] While diplomatic language remains present,
[00:13:57] the scope of attacks in southern Syria is expanding.
[00:14:00] Israeli shelling, field incursions, and arrests
[00:14:03] have affected several villages and towns in the governorates of Damascus countryside, Quneitra,
[00:14:07] and Daraa. According to the official Syrian
[00:14:11] news agency SANA, occupation forces targeted
[00:14:14] the outskirts of Al-Hamidiyah town in the Quneitra countryside
[00:14:17] with artillery, without giving details of casualties. In
[00:14:21] the Damascus countryside, the occupation shelled Tal Abu
[00:14:25] Jan in the vicinity of Bejin
[00:14:27] of shells, just a few days after shelling Tal Harbun,
[00:14:31] which has a strategic location.
[00:14:34] The occupation
[00:14:36] forces had arrested a shepherd in the Wadi Al-Ruqad area
[00:14:39] near the town of Jamleh in the western Daraa
[00:14:44] the area with a military force consisting
[00:14:47] of nine vehicles. The field, which is witnessing
[00:14:51] continuous violations, is met with diplomatic
[00:14:54] efforts to stop it and find solutions
[00:14:57] to what is happening on the ground. In the Security Council,
[00:15:01] Syria, through its delegate Ibrahim Al-Olaby,
[00:15:04] reiterated its positions, confirming that it is open to diplomatic
[00:15:09] same time, it confirms that dialogue does not mean accepting
[00:15:12] the occupation or giving up the rights of the Syrian people,
[00:15:16] which received wide international support, as during
[00:15:19] the session, calls were made for Israel to withdraw from
[00:15:23] Syrian territory and to respect the 1974 Disengagement
[00:15:26] Agreement,
[00:15:29] with calls for setting a clear timetable
[00:15:34] Syrian territory. Between the field
[00:15:38] movements and diplomatic efforts, southern Syria
[00:15:41] remains facing an open equation: escalation on the ground
[00:15:44] and a political path that has not yet been determined.

[00:15:55] cut short his weekend vacation at Camp David resort
[00:15:59] in Maryland and unexpectedly returned

[00:16:28] to its citizens and nationals, warning of what it called
[00:16:32] a complex security environment that carries
[00:16:35] possibilities of unexpected escalation.

[00:16:42] Before the end, here is a reminder of the main headlines
[00:16:46] of the bulletin:

[00:17:07] bulldozing operations.
[00:17:16] Injuries, arrests, and uprooting of trees during widespread
[00:17:19] attacks in the West Bank, and the occupation closes the entrances and exits of
[00:17:23] Ramallah.
[00:17:30] The occupation turns Jerusalem into a military barracks. Hundreds
[00:17:33] of settlers, led by the extremist Ben-Gvir, desecrate
[00:17:36] Al-Aqsa. Netanyahu and his government ministers
[00:17:39] storm the Buraq
[00:17:41] Wall.
[00:17:45] Trump cuts short his vacation
[00:17:48] unexpectedly and Washington warns its citizens in
[00:19:26] Their first and last goal is for us to stop so that they can come
[00:19:29] and seize this area, because God forbid if they seize this area, this
[00:19:33] whole area will be lost, and no one will be able to cross this area,
[00:19:41] Kafr Malik, or Al-Mazra'a, or Al-Mughayyir, because this area is the only outlet for these
[00:19:43] two villages.
[00:19:47] These are Palestinian areas signed in Oslo that no Israelis
