[00:00:00] Aggression in the Gaza Strip
[00:00:02] the aggression and crimes against the Palestinian in order to keep our Palestinian people
[00:00:05] in 30% of the Strip, and also more siege
[00:00:10] there is something that cannot Let's talk in detail about this and despair for our Palestinian people. This is the main goal, as we said a little while ago, to implement
[00:00:13] the strategies related to displacement and other things. I believe that
[00:00:17] what the foreign minister of the occupation said,
[00:00:20] and he is fully aware that they are the occupation government
[00:00:23] who bear full responsibility for foiling everything related
[00:00:27] to arranging the internal Palestinian situation. The question is, are
[00:00:31] the internal Palestinian elections
[00:00:33] and also from that strengthen the internal Palestinian situation a Palestinian interest that can
[00:00:38] 31 men, be carried out by the occupation government with facilities unrelated to this matter?
[00:00:42] Instead, they put obstacles in front of that in order to maintain the status quo,
[00:00:45] in order to exploit the situation to consolidate these occupying realities on the ground. Therefore,
[00:00:49] Vice President Brother Hussein Al-Sheikh,
[00:00:51] there were many when he spoke about
[00:00:54] crocodile tears, it was very clear
[00:00:57] that this matter means that
[00:01:00] the direct responsibility
[00:01:03] lead to holding elections by pressuring for the complications of the internal situation, the escalating crimes, and the ongoing war of extermination
[00:01:06] rests with the occupation government. Now, let's talk about Palestinian-Palestinian relations.
[00:01:10] A sentence mentioned in the presidential decree states that
[00:01:13] the amendment of the election date comes to hold a comprehensive
[00:01:17] Palestinian national dialogue.
[00:01:20] They closed the British consulate in There are sources confirming that a Fatah delegation is in Egypt
[00:01:24] to arrange the comprehensive dialogue with the factions, or at least to start with this
[00:01:27] question. The question
[00:01:32] from our Palestinian The past period witnessed an inability to reach an internal Palestinian-Palestinian agreement.
[00:01:35] What makes me optimistic this time
[00:01:39] will do this? about its success?
[00:01:40] started throwing stones at This morning, both parts of the question, the first
[00:01:45] crimes. The very important matter in this part, there is close follow-up with our brothers in Egypt
[00:01:48] first, and with
[00:01:50] and all Palestinian factions
[00:01:51] it does not abide by any of in order to make this dialogue a success. The delegation that was in
[00:01:54] Cairo will return next
[00:01:57] Wednesday to the Arab Republic to contact
[00:02:00] the Egyptian brothers and also
[00:02:04] to contact the Palestinian factions
[00:02:06] especially in in order to prepare for holding the comprehensive national dialogue session
[00:02:09] and ensuring its success. This is an
[00:02:12] in detail, that this important matter. The second issue is that it is true that there were
[00:02:14] dialogues and agreements were made but
[00:02:20] a set of to pressure the occupation not implemented. However, today we all realize the great dangers to the entire Palestinian national project
[00:02:23] college elected this. when we talk about the occupation's strategy aimed at violating the rights of our Palestinian people, whether
[00:02:26] the right of return for Palestinian refugees and starting
[00:02:30] with attempts
[00:02:33] serious and real pressure from that took place during the long past period to prevent UNRWA
[00:02:36] dangers related to this from employing Palestinian refugees and demolishing refugee camps, as happened in Jenin,
[00:02:39] Nour Shams, and Tulkarm,
[00:02:41] a Palestinian window to
[00:02:42] settlements and settlers in the lands of the State of Palestine, not in and what is happening in the Gaza Strip, all of that aims to strengthen the right of return for Palestinian refugees, in addition to the fact
[00:02:46] that the occupation, when it proceeds towards
[00:02:52] protection for our Palestinian people in the face of this to believe that this the implementation of this more confiscation of land, more construction and expansion of colonial settlements, more construction of new
[00:02:54] settlements, it aims with all that to prevent the establishment and creation of an independent
[00:02:58] Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. This is a self-evident matter. Regarding that,
[00:03:03] for the sake of pressuring the second matter, and suffice it to say,
[00:03:04] is the first matter, is that it tries to undermine Palestinian representation.
[00:03:07] The economic blockade and the confiscation of allocated funds, the military
[00:03:15] levels to impose a comprehensive siege on to participate in this checkpoints, all that it does of aggression and crimes, whether by the occupation army or by the colonizing
[00:03:18] related to her follow-up on settlers and their attacks on our Palestinian people, aims to break
[00:03:21] the will of steadfastness, unity, and resistance of our Palestinian people.
[00:03:25] world in order to pressure And this matter, I believe, has become completely clear because the occupation tries to impose
[00:03:28] its occupying control as an alternative to Palestinian representation, whether
[00:03:32] it concerns the government or the Palestinian National Authority, which is the arm
[00:03:36] of that more than any other country in of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The third
[00:03:39] matter, as we said a little while ago, is that the occupation
[00:03:43] in the terrorist attack, most of them believe this a fundamental and strategic issue at believes that the issue of displacement can up with explosives, and about still be implemented,
[00:03:46] was done and statements are made daily about the issue of displacement, which was thwarted by the
[00:03:50] towards more pressure on
[00:03:51] secret that many unified Palestinian position or the rejection of the displacement
[00:03:53] of any of our Palestinian people, and the position of the Arab Republic of Egypt,
[00:03:57] which expressed it clearly, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
[00:04:05] the state of Palestine in
[00:04:10] these challenges, which requires the rapid achievement of Palestinian
[00:04:13] national unity that leads to the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy
[00:04:17] a boycott of the occupation and isolating that protects our rights and constants, and our representation, and moves forward
[00:04:20] towards our struggle and our system for freedom and independence. The factions outside the PLO,
[00:04:24] do you have hope that they
[00:04:28] the Palestinian West Bank, in the face of this 28, and we will pressure will join the PLO in light of all the circumstances and all the factors you mentioned, Doctor?
[00:04:31] This is what has been
[00:04:34] prepared
[00:04:35] that rises to the level of these challenges. This to be done
[00:04:37] settlers, and the whole world witnesses it, from and to reach this position by this right-wing government, make the factions that came out of the Palestinian Liberation Organization,
[00:04:42] any positions on this and for us, as factions of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, we strive, as
[00:04:45] we have striven before, for everyone
[00:04:49] at Jaffa Gate, located in to be within the framework of the Palestinian Liberation Organizations because we consider it the umbrella
[00:04:52] decision in this regard, I mean from for all the Palestinian people
[00:04:56] or from countries abroad. and a system that governs everyone in this and the most important achievement and the tent that shelters all the Palestinian people is the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people
[00:05:02] We knew that hope to the Palestinian people that there is serious pressure on in its struggle and fight for freedom
[00:05:03] with many countries, whether Arab, and independence. Therefore, I believe everyone realizes the importance
[00:05:06] of that and how important it is for everyone to be within this framework. And I believe that
[00:05:09] one of the strategic and comprehensive national
[00:05:12] issues is the matter of agreeing on three
[00:05:15] issues that must be discussed. First,
[00:05:19] the goals of the Palestinian national struggle, as we said,
[00:05:22] the constants of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the resolutions of national consensus, the right of return for
[00:05:26] refugees, the right to self-determination, the establishment of an independent
[00:05:29] Palestinian state with full sovereignty and its capital Jerusalem. The second
[00:05:32] matter is the forms of Palestinian
[00:05:36] national struggle. It was agreed, even at the last conference
[00:05:39] in Beijing, on a comprehensive national dialogue, after all forms
[00:05:43] of resistance of our Palestinian people were supported by resolutions of international legitimacy
[00:05:46] and international law. But the most appropriate form of
[00:05:50] resistance that our Palestinian people should adopt is popular
[00:05:53] resistance, and this matter was also agreed upon.
[00:05:57] And the third matter, which is that the organization, and
[00:06:00] every time, the title of the Palestine
[00:06:03] Liberation Organization will be a separate item in that context, is that everyone affirms
[00:06:07] that the organization is the sole representative of the Palestinian people and it
[00:06:10] is the umbrella
[00:06:12] for all factions of national action and for all our Palestinian people.
[00:06:16] And every time we affirm that and open the doors for that. Today, in the face of
[00:06:20] the great dangers and challenges to the Palestinian national project, I believe that
[00:06:24] reaching this level must happen. But there are also
[00:06:27] agreements signed by the Palestine Liberation Organization and a number of factions outside
[00:06:30] the Palestine Liberation Organization that say, "I do not agree to them," and they use this
[00:06:34] condition as an excuse. As you pointed out, perhaps
[00:06:38] in previous it is true that
[00:06:42] two dialogues took place during the war of extermination after October 7, a dialogue in
[00:06:45] Moscow and another dialogue in Beijing
[00:06:48] in China. But
[00:06:51] the continuation of this aggressive and criminal war
[00:06:55] today can pose great risks to the Palestinian
[00:06:59] national project, attempts to separate the Gaza Strip, divide
[00:07:03] the Gaza Strip, keep the occupation army in the Gaza Strip, not
[00:07:07] withdraw, not lift the siege, and all that
[00:07:10] is happening of aggression and killing. Today, the number of martyrs
[00:07:14] is daily, but it has become something the occupation tries
[00:07:18] to keep as a consecrated daily use, meaning it is not
[00:07:21] new news. Yes, and the Palestinian bloodshed. This is what
[00:07:25] must be emphasized, that what has been agreed
[00:07:29] upon, whether in the so-called peace conference and its arrangements, or
[00:07:32] regarding the Security Council and its resolution and international legitimacy resolutions
[00:07:35] in general, of course, in the Security Council resolution regarding the issue of agreement on that,
[00:07:39] and also
[00:07:43] which includes even in the first
[00:07:46] 20 points, and then the 15 points announced by Mladenov after
[00:07:50] the agreement on that, and which Netanyahu announced the next day that
[00:07:53] he would not abide by that. We are talking
[00:07:56] about what can indicate
[00:08:01] agreement, the withdrawal of the occupation
[00:08:03] army, lifting the siege,
[00:08:07] giving priority to removing rubble and reconstruction,
[00:08:10] and this is a fundamental matter. Because we are now, for example,
[00:08:14] peace, we are approaching winter. Today, two
[00:08:18] million of our Palestinian people in 30% of the Gaza Strip, or even less,
[00:08:21] live in this land,
[00:08:24] which means for three years, the tents
[00:08:28] and others in have become these
[00:08:30] tents, which try to shelter the Palestinian people, have become
[00:08:34] dilapidated. This prevents the entry of any caravans or the possibility of talking about
[00:08:38] that. Let me point out an important point, that the Israeli army today moved
[00:08:42] or expanded what is known as its control zone or what it calls
[00:08:45] the Yellow Line, and it became 10 meters away from
[00:08:49] Salah al-Din Street, which led to the displacement of dozens of Palestinian families.
[00:08:52] This is one of the continuous daily
[00:08:56] crimes. And I believe that
[00:08:57] they
[00:09:01] are trying to close any horizon, even the administrative committee that was
[00:09:05] agreed upon was prevented from entering the Gaza Strip, meaning they are trying to
[00:09:08] isolate the Gaza Strip. For us, even in the comprehensive national dialogue,
[00:09:12] the main reference points are that the Palestinian
[00:09:15] territories within the framework of
[00:09:18] the West Bank, as in the Gaza Strip, and occupied East Jerusalem, the capital,
[00:09:22] are politically, geographically, demographically,
[00:09:25] territories of the state of Palestine. Therefore, it is impossible to accept that there will be a separation of the Gaza
[00:09:29] Strip. Perhaps the dangerous thing that was
[00:09:32] talked about is that there are countries that were guarantors of
[00:09:36] the success of the elections on November
[00:09:39] the occupation. We will talk about this point, but before
[00:09:43] we finish talking about those outside the framework of the PLO,
[00:09:46] are they convinced that there must be one weapon and one law?
[00:09:49] Also, this is the matter
[00:09:53] that has been constantly emphasized in all dialogues, and this
[00:09:57] dialogue will be so because we are talking about Palestinian
[00:10:00] legitimacy, we are talking about a Palestinian state under
[00:10:03] occupation, we are talking about a law
[00:10:07] context. Therefore, it is impossible to accept any forms that are outside
[00:10:11] the framework of the official system that must be adhered to within the framework
[00:10:14] of the law and within the framework of applying the law. Now let's talk
[00:10:18] about the issue of the National Council. The electoral
[00:10:21] college operations for selecting members abroad have been frozen
[00:10:25] as a step to facilitate or open the way for a broader
[00:10:28] dialogue and include the largest possible segment into the National Council.
[00:10:34] issue that you also discussed at the Executive Committee meeting.
[00:10:38] As everyone knows, there is a preparatory
[00:10:40] committee that was formed by presidential decree
[00:10:43] to follow up on the elections of the Palestinian National Council.
[00:10:46] And
[00:10:49] continuous meetings were held, perhaps 18 meetings, and after that,
[00:10:53] a follow-up committee was formed.
[00:10:55] From Vice President Brother Hussein,
[00:10:58] Brother Ruhi Fattouh, President of the Palestinian Council, and he followed up on
[00:11:02] the elections of the Palestinian National Council in all countries of the world, whether Arab,
[00:11:06] Islamic, or other countries of the world, including
[00:11:10] our Palestinian people residing in this or that country, and based
[00:11:14] on specific percentages of the presence of
[00:11:17] Palestinians, a specific number of members of the Palestinian National Council was
[00:11:21] given in that country. The matter concerned three
[00:11:26] mechanisms: either direct election of membership of the Palestinian
[00:11:29] National Council, and this was not possible
[00:11:32] because many countries of the world do not accept
[00:11:36] elections to be held on their soil. And the
[00:11:38] second matter is to have an electoral college. The electoral
[00:11:41] college includes six categories: factions,
[00:11:45] independents,
[00:11:48] popular organizations and unions,
[00:11:51] competencies, women, youth
[00:11:57] people present in that
[00:12:00] country. This electoral college reflects the number of Palestinians present in that country
[00:12:04] and the electoral college holds
[00:12:07] a meeting to elect members of the Palestinian National Council whose number is determined
[00:12:11] based on what was agreed upon by the Central Bureau of Statistics
[00:12:15] after the Palestinians present in the world or
[00:12:18] by understandings related to estimates about the number
[00:12:21] of Palestinians. And of course,
[00:12:25] in distinction to the presence of Palestinian
[00:12:29] camps for the Palestinian people in the camps,
[00:12:31] Dan in Syria and Lebanon.
[00:12:33] And
[00:12:35] the ongoing preparations for that began,
[00:12:39] and many electoral groups were formed, and
[00:12:42] also in some other countries, the electoral
[00:12:48] After President Abbas's visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt
[00:12:51] and the discussion about
[00:12:54] the comprehensive dialogue at the Executive Committee meeting that took place
[00:12:58] two weeks ago, a decision was taken
[00:13:01] to freeze the work of the electoral colleges
[00:13:04] or the work of the preparatory committee to follow up on the elections of the Palestinian National Council
[00:13:08] to give an opportunity for the Palestinian national dialogue to succeed
[00:13:11] and not
[00:13:14] matter can obstruct the continuation of the success
[00:13:17] of the comprehensive national dialogue. And you know,
[00:13:21] and many of the Palestinian people followed that there was a statement
[00:13:25] that there are exclusions of factions and there
[00:13:28] is non-participation and so on. So for us,
[00:13:32] the field is open for all national action factions
[00:13:36] work and to be within the framework of the Palestinian
[00:13:40] National Council and also within the framework of all Palestinian
[00:13:43] institutions emanating from the Palestinian Liberation Organization. So a decision was taken
[00:13:46] to freeze that to give this opportunity. And as I told
[00:13:50] you, in the meeting the day before yesterday, this decision was confirmed to ensure the success
[00:13:54] of the national dialogue. So
[00:13:57] regarding the date of holding the elections of the National Council, how is
[00:14:01] this date now? As
[00:14:04] of yet, it has not been determined. I
[00:14:06] matter can be agreed upon as
[00:14:11] in determining the date of the Legislative Council. It is no
[00:14:16] factions proposed this date to give an opportunity
[00:14:19] and ample time for ongoing preparations,
[00:14:22] and also preparations taking place during this period
[00:14:25] before the legislative elections
[00:14:28] on 9/11/27. Based on that, I
[00:14:32] believe there will also be an agreement on the issue of the Palestinian
[00:14:35] National Council, either by consensus, as
[00:14:38] has been the custom in successive national councils, or
[00:14:41] by electoral groups, as was prepared during the past period.
[00:14:45] For many years of our people's struggle, the goal was that
[00:14:48] the Palestinian decision be an independent decision, which is what is prevailing
[00:14:52] and what is confirmed. But there are
[00:14:55] many friends and brothers, whether Arab
[00:14:58] or non-Arab, who had advice regarding the dates
[00:15:02] of holding elections. Have you observed any objections? Have you observed
[00:15:07] issue in the Executive Committee as well? It
[00:15:09] is the main issue that was
[00:15:13] discussed when the date of the legislative elections was set for November
[00:15:17] 28. Is there a possibility of pressuring the occupation
[00:15:21] to give
[00:15:25] the occupation to stop its aggression, crimes, and war of extermination? And I tell you,
[00:15:29] it is no secret that the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Dr. Rami Hamdallah,
[00:15:33] a long time ago,
[00:15:36] met with the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organizations and spoke
[00:15:39] about major obstacles
[00:15:42] that must be removed for the elections to succeed. First, what concerns the Gaza Strip
[00:15:45] and the escalating aggression of the occupation
[00:15:49] and its bombing, killing, and siege against our Palestinian
[00:15:52] people. This is the first matter. The second matter is that there is, as is well known, a de facto
[00:15:56] authority in the Gaza Strip that must be understood about who
[00:16:00] protects the elections, the ballot box, from many
[00:16:03] mistakes related to the elections. This is the matter that must have
[00:16:07] an understanding about. The third matter
[00:16:10] is Jerusalem, as the elections that were scheduled
[00:16:14] to be held in 2021-2022 were postponed due to
[00:16:17] preventing our Palestinian people from nominating or voting in the occupied
[00:16:20] city of Jerusalem. And this matter was a serious issue, excluding Jerusalem as the capital
[00:16:24] of the state of Palestine. Based on that, I believe that
[00:16:29] promises that efforts would be made to
[00:16:32] achieve what can indicate the creation of an environment
[00:16:35] related to a serious and real atmosphere that can
[00:16:41] the occupation. This matter did not happen, even the countries that talked about
[00:16:44] that could not. Today there is an open
[00:16:47] war, between the occupation and many countries of the world, including countries
[00:16:51] friendly to the occupation. For example, we are talking about the Netherlands,
[00:16:54] for example. We are talking about Britain.
[00:16:58] Jerusalem. Yes, and they withdrew the diplomatic
[00:17:02] identities from the Dutch because
[00:17:06] why? Because they talked about
[00:17:17] all of that to refute the occupation from continuing these
[00:17:22] context is that there were also to implement what is related to the peace
[00:17:26] conference and its outcomes regarding the unity of the Palestinian
[00:17:29] territories, regarding lifting
[00:17:31] the siege and not starving our Palestinian people and giving
[00:17:35] hope through removing
[00:17:38] rubble and the issue of... Today, it does not mean
[00:17:41] that places of worship are destroyed, hospitals are destroyed, schools are destroyed, universities
[00:17:45] are destroyed, homes are destroyed. All this talk,
[00:17:48] and this matter, we have entered the fourth year and no
[00:17:52] action has been taken
[00:17:54] or set practical mechanisms to pressure it to implement that.
[00:17:58] What do we, as the Palestinian people, want?
[00:18:01] We want the implementation of resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, a resolution issued by
[00:18:05] the Security Council, the last Security Council resolution on colonial
[00:18:09] settlement, Resolution 2334. The advisory opinion of the International
[00:18:13] Court of Justice after that, which affirmed the impermissibility
[00:18:16] of the continued presence of colonial occupied
[00:18:20] Jerusalem.
[00:18:23] The International Criminal Court and
[00:18:27] the Rome Statute establishing the Court, which talks about colonial settlement that
[00:18:30] amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity, let alone
[00:18:34] the ongoing war of extermination. So,
[00:18:37] the judge who received
[00:18:38] the Nobel
[00:18:43] Prize, what did she say? Wasn't she responsible for a file related to humanitarian
[00:18:47] conditions and the Palestinian people? She talks about a war of extermination. She talks about
[00:18:50] killing and what happened to the Palestinian people. She talks about an issue
[00:18:55] the humanitarian level. So, Doctor, let's talk in more detail
[00:18:59] here. There were many opinions or reports here or there
[00:19:03] saying that this party will stop its support, and this party
[00:19:07] will... and this party will stop its support if you postpone the elections. Let's
[00:19:10] settle this matter with all frankness and clarity.
[00:19:13] Let me point to an important issue, because there
[00:19:17] is a factional consensus,
[00:19:19] first,
[00:19:22] among the factions within the Palestine Liberation Organization or those outside it. There was perhaps
[00:19:25] a reservation from only one faction, while the rest of the national action
[00:19:28] factions, the Palestine Liberation Organization factions, and the factions outside the Palestine Liberation Organization,
[00:19:32] reached a national consensus on that, on postponing the elections.
[00:19:35] This is the first issue. The second issue, I believe, is that
[00:19:39] everyone realizes the importance of the comprehensive
[00:19:42] national dialogue in order to end the division, in order
[00:19:45] to, as we said a little while ago, how do we protect the rights of our people, how do
[00:19:49] we protect the sacrifices of our Palestinian people,
[00:19:53] of martyrs, wounded, and prisoners, and the great suffering
[00:19:56] of the Palestinian people? How do we reach safety in
[00:20:00] protecting our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in occupied Jerusalem, and in
[00:20:05] criminal aggression that is taking place? The matter requires the concerted efforts
[00:20:09] for a Palestinian national unity
[00:20:13] is what we aim to achieve. So once
[00:20:16] again, let's talk about some external parties.
[00:20:18] There
[00:20:21] was a welcome for postponing these elections. We have not heard that
[00:20:24] anyone came out to condemn or attack the Palestinian
[00:20:29] friends
[00:20:33] Yes, there were a number of consultations,
[00:20:37] to be precise,
[00:20:40] Islamic, or international. And
[00:20:44] a picture of what is happening to our Palestinian
[00:20:46] people was conveyed to them, and they are following everything related to
[00:20:52] people. And there was an understanding
[00:20:55] that the situation will not
[00:20:58] produce elections in the context of what is happening now. Some
[00:21:02] people, for example, talk about, and this is a great danger, that
[00:21:05] perhaps elections can be held
[00:21:08] in specific areas and postponed in other
[00:21:12] areas. This is a very dangerous matter. This is tasting poison. Yes, this is a very
[00:21:15] dangerous matter, and the answer was definitely no, because we
[00:21:18] are talking about legislative elections in all occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank, Gaza
[00:21:22] Strip, and occupied Jerusalem, the capital. Therefore, it is impossible
[00:21:26] to accept that. That is why we did not hear, as you pointed out, Salam, we did not hear any
[00:21:30] negative reaction regarding the issue of postponing the elections, quite the
[00:21:33] opposite. Everyone today emphasizes the importance and welcome of the comprehensive
[00:21:37] national dialogue and also guarantees
[00:21:40] what can come out of this comprehensive national dialogue in strengthening our
[00:21:44] situation and strengthening our steadfastness and unity on the ground. But with
[00:21:47] your discomfort or with your acceptance of the discomfort of some of the names
[00:21:50] of the lists that may have submitted? This is a right, a right
[00:21:54] for the Palestinian citizen to have explanations
[00:21:58] regarding this matter or to confirm that the postponement is
[00:22:01] something he opposes or so on. This is a guaranteed
[00:22:05] right for the citizen. I mean, freedom of opinion and expression does not spoil
[00:22:09] the friendliness of the issue. Therefore, we are talking about a near consensus or a consensus
[00:22:12] of all national action factions, of all
[00:22:16] institutions that followed this matter.
[00:22:18] And of course, there will be, I mean,
[00:22:22] there is no such thing as complete consensus. There will certainly be some
[00:22:26] opposition. So, let's talk now about the political
[00:22:29] reality, and you, in the Executive Committee of the Liberation Organization, meet
[00:22:33] periodically, rather, you are in a state of permanent session
[00:22:36] in your recent meetings to follow up on developments on the ground
[00:22:39] and politically. Politically, there are variables related
[00:22:42] to the other side, the Israeli elections. It is true that we
[00:22:46] will not interfere in them, but any result affects us. This is from one perspective.
[00:22:50] From another perspective, many clashes and conflicts
[00:22:53] have begun to take a more dangerous turn around us.
[00:22:57] How do we, as Palestinians, view all of that? I may have hinted at it, but not
[00:23:02] year, when the elections are postponed to next September,
[00:23:06] next September, there must be
[00:23:10] joint work
[00:23:13] to strengthen our steadfastness
[00:23:15] and also a joint unified position to address
[00:23:19] the international community and all brothers with one voice regarding
[00:23:22] the arrangements related to our Palestinian situation and ward off all
[00:23:26] matter. Therefore,
[00:23:29] everyone followed President Abbas's call
[00:23:32] to our representative at the United Nations, to our mission at the United
[00:23:35] Nations, to immediately begin demanding the Security
[00:23:39] Council to convene in order to provide
[00:23:42] colonial settlement aggression and the occupation army's
[00:23:45] policies of killing and attacking our people,
[00:23:49] burning property, homes, cutting off roads, and so on. This
[00:23:54] and certainly, in addition
[00:23:57] to it, what is happening of siege at all economic
[00:24:00] levels and other
[00:24:05] our Palestinian people, including the piracy of Palestinian clearance funds, which are a Palestinian
[00:24:08] entitlement, is being stolen
[00:24:11] and pirated before the eyes of the whole
[00:24:15] the economic situation so that the government becomes unable to
[00:24:18] fulfill its obligations, whether in
[00:24:20] operating expenses or on the salaries of Palestinian employees, and this is what happened during the long
[00:24:24] past months. And I believe that there are also other
[00:24:28] issues that will be discussed. I do not want to preempt that
[00:24:32] regarding a set of factors that strengthen the steadfastness of our Palestinian
[00:24:35] people and that also move forward
[00:24:40] the occupation to compel it to implement international law and humanitarian law, especially
[00:24:43] the resolutions issued by international institutions, that
[00:24:46] the occupation government or the occupying state is a rogue state that does not acknowledge these resolutions
[00:24:50] and refuses to comply with applying any of them. So, how long will this situation
[00:24:54] continue? This is an important matter. The second matter is that
[00:24:57] the world must also consider that statements
[00:25:00] of condemnation, denunciation, and censure can be tolerated by the occupation, but
[00:25:04] practical mechanisms that lead to imposing
[00:25:07] this occupation and prosecuting it for its crimes, this is what stops
[00:25:11] the continuation of these crimes. So,
[00:25:14] we are on the verge of the Israeli elections, and throughout the past
[00:25:17] years, we have known that all contenders,
[00:25:21] and especially the Israeli government and its leaders, especially
[00:25:26] Palestinian blood an election
[00:25:29] propaganda tool. The closer we get, the more
[00:25:32] oppression increases, and we have seen the settlers' aggression and daily terrorism,
[00:25:36] and also the threats of Israeli ministers.
[00:25:40] How do you view and follow that? What are the available means for us?
[00:25:43] This is what is actually happening on the ground because in every election, and especially these
[00:25:47] elections, it is very clear that there is escalating aggression and crime.
[00:25:52] this escalation comes in two frameworks: the first framework is the continuation of the war of extermination
[00:25:56] that has not stopped against our Palestinian people in all occupied Palestinian territories in the Gaza
[00:25:59] Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. And the other
[00:26:02] framework is that the closer the elections
[00:26:05] get, Palestinian blood becomes a
[00:26:09] bargaining chip to ensure the success of these elections through votes. The far-right, which
[00:26:12] the occupation believes it can garner more of these votes
[00:26:16] for its right-wing agenda. In any case, we believe that even
[00:26:20] these parties can have a difference in form, but not in
[00:26:24] essence and content. All parties share three
[00:26:27] main issues, these right-wing parties that
[00:26:31] can
[00:26:40] but on the ground, by preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state, everyone
[00:26:44] is against the establishment of a Palestinian state.
[00:26:47] Everyone emphasizes that there is no removal of any of the colonial
[00:26:51] settlement outposts, meaning the legalization
[00:26:54] of settler colonialism, as long as there are settlers in the territories of the State of Palestine
[00:26:58] under occupation. The
[00:27:00] third point is that there is no talk of a political process that can
[00:27:04] lead to stopping this aggression and crimes
[00:27:08] without serious and real pressure, as we said. Therefore, these parties agree on
[00:27:11] three clear determinants. It is clear
[00:27:15] that it is a continuation of the declaration of war against the entire Palestinian
[00:27:17] between resolving the conflict, as is the current government, to re-
[00:27:21] managing the conflict, this is what is meant.
[00:27:25] It is true that this government has a clear program or
[00:27:28] two clear programs regarding first, the annexation policy
[00:27:32] that it adopted, annexation and leasing, yes and leasing, and the
[00:27:35] other matter, which is the policy of decisive action, meaning that it can
[00:27:39] resolve the conflict with the Palestinian people, and hence the statements that there is no Palestinian
[00:27:43] people, there is no Palestinian people, and the statements about what is called Greater
[00:27:46] Israel and the attacks on neighboring countries in Lebanon, in Syria, throughout
[00:27:49] the region,
[00:27:54] the international laws or international legitimacy resolutions and international
[00:27:57] law. Therefore, I believe that
[00:27:59] it is true that there can be,
[00:28:02] as I said, in terms of form, changes
[00:28:06] in the attempt to manage the conflict at the level
[00:28:09] of acceptance by the international community and dealing with this government or
[00:28:13] that one through what it does, and this happened
[00:28:16] previously when many statements
[00:28:19] were made about what could constitute a political solution, but on the ground, the matter was
[00:28:23] different. Settler colonialism was increasing, there was encroachment
[00:28:26] against the Palestinian people, and there was an imposition of facts on the ground that prevented the establishment
[00:28:30] of a Palestinian state, and all of that was happening before the eyes of the whole world because there was no
[00:28:35] the international community, which must guarantee security,
[00:28:39] stability, and peace based on the Palestinian people achieving their right
[00:28:42] to freedom and independence. It remains to ask about those who demand reform from us, while they are unable
[00:28:46] to curb settlers and curb the measures
[00:28:50] of the occupation, such as settlement, killing,
[00:28:53] and so on, whether in the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip, and at its heart
[00:28:56] Jerusalem. What about that? I mean, I believe this record has become scratched,
[00:29:00] and it is perhaps
[00:29:06] the Palestinian situation regarding the title
[00:29:09] of reform that is being discussed. Well,
[00:29:13] many decisions have been
[00:29:16] taken in this context. Difficult
[00:29:19] issues have been taken, and they have not changed anything. On the contrary,
[00:29:23] the escalation has increased. So it's not about reform
[00:29:27] because it's about law,
[00:29:29] accountability, transparency, and everything related to
[00:29:34] the transfer of power, elections, all
[00:29:38] the world. This is an issue that for us is
[00:29:43] the Palestinian level in order to emphasize that our Palestinian cause
[00:29:47] is moving forward towards establishing its relationship with this reality. But
[00:29:51] what is being demanded, frankly,
[00:29:54] these
[00:29:57] are repeated attempts to pressure the Palestinian situation.
[00:30:00] For example, the
[00:30:03] families of prisoners and martyrs, and so on, changing school
[00:30:07] curricula, issues that have no
[00:30:10] relation other than to distract
[00:30:13] the Palestinian situation, and you are asking me for demands while you are unable to prevent
[00:30:16] a settler from entering or storming a Palestinian city. A full
[00:30:19] war, he says. When Ben
[00:30:23] Gvir talks about nearly 200 weapons being given to settlers,
[00:30:26] what does this mean? 20,000 weapons, what
[00:30:30] does that mean? It means granting a license to kill.
[00:30:34] When the criminal terrorist attacks are committed by
[00:30:39] north to south, from Jenin to Masafer Yatta,
[00:30:43] and everything in between. This is happening before the eyes of the whole world. So what has
[00:30:46] the world done to curb this? And this is a message to those who advocate or
[00:30:50] put forward slogans of reform without neglecting what they should
[00:30:54] provide regarding the occupation. This
[00:30:57] time, what makes you more optimistic about launching
[00:31:01] a comprehensive Palestinian national dialogue? Honestly,
[00:31:05] the Palestinian situation requires
[00:31:07] that. We, during this episode, talked about
[00:31:11] great and numerous dangers facing the Palestinian situation, and
[00:31:15] the goals call people to be optimistic. Now, I believe that
[00:31:18] we have always,
[00:31:21] the Palestinian cause has gone through difficult and dangerous turns,
[00:31:24] and the eternal martyr Yasser Arafat used to say that
[00:31:28] a tunnel, a light at the end of the tunnel will be bright
[00:31:31] and will carry a child or a flower from our cubs and
[00:31:34] our flowers, the flag of Palestine on the walls of Jerusalem,
[00:31:38] the churches of Jerusalem, and the mosques of Jerusalem. And this is what
[00:31:41] always makes us optimistic that these immense sacrifices
[00:32:48] Where is the Security Council about it? Where are those who said
[00:32:51] we will come as one and we
[00:32:54] And the truce they are talking about is not happening. On the contrary, what I see
[00:32:58] is no truce, and the escalation is increasing day by day,
[00:33:01] day by day, killings, the number of martyrs in the tens, injuries
[00:33:05] in the tens.
[00:34:48] Now, the government is
[00:34:51] building new settlements in all areas of the West Bank.
[00:34:54] Smotrich's electoral program from the beginning
[00:34:58] is the seizure and annexation of Hebron, and they are working on
[00:35:01] that. Unfortunately, there is no reaction from
[00:35:05] the United Nations, the Security Council, and the international
[00:35:09] community. This step is a major
[00:35:12] escalation for the city and very difficult for the city's residents.
[00:39:27] Among the victims of the terrorist bombing were women
[00:39:30] and children, most of whom were from one Palestinian
[00:39:34] family.
[00:39:37] We are facing a story of Jerusalem written
[00:39:40] in blood.
[00:39:43] On January 5, 1948,
[00:39:46] 1948،
[00:39:49] the terrorist Haganah organization blew up the Semiramis
[00:39:52] Hotel, located in the Baq'a residential neighborhood, west
[00:39:56] of Jerusalem.
[00:40:03] The hotel was blown
[00:40:06] 20 Palestinian civilians were killed
[00:40:10] children and women, and 20
[00:40:13] others were wounded. Most of the martyrs and wounded were
[00:40:17] from one family, the Abu Sawan family,
[00:40:21] who sought refuge in the hotel, believing they would be
[00:40:25] safe from attacks.
[00:40:55] A day after the bombing of the Semiramis Hotel, the Zionist
[00:40:58] gangs attacked other
[00:41:01] civilian targets.
[00:41:06] On January 7 of the same year,
[00:41:10] members of the terrorist Irgun gang
[00:41:13] threw a bomb
[00:41:17] the Old City of Jerusalem.
[00:41:20] 18 Palestinian civilians were killed in this terrorist
[00:41:24] attack, and 41
[00:41:28] others were wounded.
[00:41:35] A few days after the Jaffa Gate terrorist attack, specifically
[00:41:41] disguised as
[00:41:46] terrorist elements
[00:41:48] British soldiers entered a warehouse
[00:41:51] near the Mughrabi building located on
[00:41:55] Salah al-Din Street in the city of Haifa.
[00:41:58] The excuse was
[00:42:00] inspection.
[00:42:07] They planted a time bomb whose explosion led
[00:42:10] to the collapse of the building and its surroundings.
[00:42:13] As a result of this cowardly terrorist act,
[00:42:18] women, and children were killed, and more than
[00:42:22] 60 were wounded.
[00:42:29] A bloody history of heinous massacres that
[00:42:32] have been and still
[00:42:34] are ongoing.
[00:42:42] Their history is full of blood.
[00:43:16] This round was aggressive because they
[00:43:20] houses, and a few days ago, they also
[00:43:23] burned a house in the village belonging to citizen
[00:43:27] Suhaib Radwan
[00:43:29] Ramadan.
[00:43:38] The attack happened in the area we see in the back.
[00:43:42] The shooting led to the death of four martyrs and four
[00:43:45] wounded.
[00:43:55] Today's file, we will discuss in follow-up
[00:43:58] and analysis the most prominent political,
[00:44:01] local, Arab,
[00:44:04] and international files, and we will open
[00:44:07] the internal files that concern our people inside
[00:44:11] and in the diaspora.
[00:44:11] Today's
[00:44:16] file is a program through which we seek to be
[00:44:21] the world.
[00:44:26] Today's file comes to you at the following times.
[00:47:34] We came here and found the scene as you see it,
[00:47:37] meaning immediately or the area in the army. We came here and found
[00:47:40] the scene completely, I mean,
[00:47:44] this area was, I mean, one of the most beautiful areas,
[00:47:47] and as you see it now,
[00:47:49] it's destroyed.
[00:49:43] Welcome to the seven AM news bulletin from Palestine
[00:49:46] TV, starting with the main headlines.
[00:49:50] Four martyrs by Israeli occupation bullets, west of Khan Younis,
[00:49:53] including a child in Jabalia, north of the Gaza
[00:49:56] Strip.
[00:50:03] The presidency condemns the terrorist attack on the airport.
