00:00:00Our dear viewers, in a scene that is repeated in more than one
00:00:03Palestinian camp, Israeli attacks
00:00:08geographical areas along this
00:00:08in
00:00:11Tulkarm. But it is that are taking place in nature. Uh-huh. Also, let's not continue, targeting the camps as a symbol of refuge, steadfastness, and national
00:00:13important to know that this identity, from Jenin to
00:00:14continuous aggression against Tulkarem, all the way to Qalandia
00:00:16even the people from the same town camp, which has been witnessing, as we mentioned, since dawn yesterday,
00:00:19continuous aggression.
00:00:21intelligence. This is very important, this The occupation army May God grant you a long life. This is destroying commercial stores
00:00:25people came to and restricting citizens, area, a crowded area with preventing patients from leaving
00:00:29the camp. Between this field escalation
00:00:35other governorates in the West the international community in light of this and its repercussions, the question arises about
00:00:36military forces and mechanisms in what the occupation wants from targeting the camps, and
00:00:40what its residents are experiencing day after day. Diaa, of course, this aggression was preceded by
00:00:44a widespread incitement campaign against the Palestinian camps,
00:00:47and what they represent as a national symbol
00:00:51that, of course, affirms the right
00:00:54these crossings, whether at of return for refugees. What are the political messages that the extremists
00:00:57the checkpoints established around in Benjamin Netanyahu's government want? All these details
00:01:01and the repercussions of this scene,
00:01:07of workers from working of accustoming the world to the idea we will certainly learn about all these and they are capable. We saw this scene matters with Dr. Sabri Saidam, member of the Central Council of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Welcome, Doctor.
00:01:11Welcome, good morning. Welcome, good morning. First,
00:01:14how do you read the continuous Israeli escalation against the Palestinian
00:01:18camps, and what are the implications
00:01:21and also of the occupation's focus on them at this time?
00:01:28We will talk more about this get information from its source, from There are changes in Yes, all greetings to you, and greetings to all our people, especially today our people in Qalandia camp and all Palestinian
00:01:31about 19 months of continuous camps inside and in the diaspora. This situation
00:01:33there is sufficient abundance in we are living today is not a usual political scene,
00:01:37and it is not
00:01:38the spread of settlements, due to this a usual students Israeli scene,
00:01:43of vast areas of present for educational institutions for a period and it is not a scene that indicates the nature of the international silence
00:01:45And a point that distinguishes this that leads to repeated scenes of this
00:01:48kind. Rather, it is also an electoral scene
00:01:51par excellence, because the occupation government is now competing among
00:01:56is what is happening in Palestine in general, in its pillars about a line of securing its path in political
00:01:58impact of this matter on the Palestinian cause will be life. By benefiting from
00:02:02is a cemetery for the dead for the Palestinian card,
00:02:05West Bank, building this is considered central in considering that the more the Palestinian people are tormented, the more the Israeli
00:02:09politician believes that he gains
00:02:10Gaza Strip, of course, through a wide network of popularity within his electoral arena. Therefore, he wants this card,
00:02:14if I may say so, to be the winning card in the upcoming
00:02:18implemented by the Directorate of Economy on Israeli elections. What we see
00:02:22of plans that were in from the focus on the camp, the camp represents a symbol of steadfastness, a symbol of the stability of Palestinian
00:02:28an approved plan from is not to diminish the suffering at identity, a symbol of not giving up the right of return, a symbol of the bond that
00:02:32we see the steadfastness of the people and their insistence on the Palestinian people live in the embrace of Jerusalem. And Qalandia
00:02:34is one of these
00:02:36the scene. The more this important symbols. Therefore, what is required by these people is to break
00:02:40the spirit of the Palestinian people. This
00:02:42to choose from
00:02:43has become one of to stand with our people in camp, the camp of courage, the camp of presence,
00:02:45the camp of identity, breaking its spirit means that
00:02:50what creates confusion Israel has the upper hand, modern developments, especially in as they wish, of course, and as they plan and plot in this direction.
00:02:55to routine tours on Therefore, we see
00:02:56And this time, there is no that this
00:02:56thousands of displaced people and refugees in attack is
00:02:58of settlers, as is happening in an attack that was,
00:03:02if you followed the Israeli media, there was widespread
00:03:07every day, what is this incitement, yes, and it emerged from that offers a huge number of what was said at the time, that the army does not Yes, have enough equipment
00:03:11to storm three camps, and these
00:03:14for the second day camps were named Qalandia, Balata, and Jalazone, to complete
00:03:19and the arrest of a number of positive, and very positive, the contaminated scene that we saw in Tulkarem, and in Jenin, and in
00:03:24often and discuss many of the camp are now facing this Tubas, other camps that are following one another in every direction. This wheel has not stopped, but the sad thing is
00:03:28that after the accumulation of events
00:03:30and what happened over the past three years,
00:03:34and the phenomenon of exploitation in specifically in the life that is present. So you need to keep pace with this of the Palestinian cause, and what development that is present in we saw in the Gaza Strip, and what we see daily in
00:03:37Jerusalem and in all sites of struggle in Musafir and in
00:03:41of exploitation, because even in the tents, that this
00:03:45of rising bread prices and flour shortages to our people who hold onto scene comes to crown this Israeli insistence on aggression
00:03:48We have one branch left. Through this in this manner and on daring in the process and turning its back
00:03:55geographical areas, these closures that there was no rush to on the world. This means that all international resolutions are worthless. Everything issued by the International Court of Justice is worthless, and everything issued by the Criminal
00:03:59Court, unfortunately, is worthless, and Israel continues
00:04:02what it continues to do. Uh-huh.
00:04:05in Nablus, and its role in So, are we, I mean, Doctor,
00:04:07market control with facing a new Israeli strategy based on
00:04:11where can this managing the conflict
00:04:14is that we want to reassure people that there is no shortage of instead of ending it, in an attempt
00:04:20students artificial intelligence in and the hollowing out of its resources, which has greatly affected settlement products. All this to tell the world, "We are here, we are capable of managing
00:04:22are more than a billion shekels stop for a minute at this To talk more about this the conflict instead of ending it," in reference, of course, to making this matter a reality for the world, to say in
00:04:26the end that there is no room for the establishment of a Palestinian
00:04:31in Palestine This Morning. state, and what remains
00:04:32resources in schools and to apply this of it? Look, my dear brother, the starting point
00:04:37between the idea and the application in of dealing with this was dealing with the Palestinian people, as the former Minister of Defense said.
00:04:39Today, by the way, he is trying to disassociate himself from the narrative that
00:04:43the suffering of thousands of he launched, describing the Palestinian
00:04:44that the displaced person needs, who was in people, if you'll excuse the expression, as human animals. Thus, he
00:04:52for this displaced person who is in negatively affects dehumanized the Palestinian people and wanted this to prove to the world the PLO, to that these are a group of criminals,
00:04:56intelligence. So this
00:04:56in Palestine begins with a group of killers.
00:04:57and tightened So, the Israeli military machine began to intervene in
00:05:02the developments of what is happening with this the Gaza Strip and the West Bank simultaneously, because it truly
00:05:05This border strip from a Palestinian will based on changing this and ends in wants to achieve what you mentioned, to convince the world that
00:05:08medicine that was not available at these are terrorist strongholds, as it claims, that
00:05:11and crossings on the military operation is justified. is our relationship with the private sector, whether in But let's not forget Qalandia
00:05:14camp, its geographical
00:05:18forget the logistical arrangements
00:05:20the area. The airport and rearrangement
00:05:23and a new gate and a new
00:05:26point of shame that Israel invests in in
00:05:29that square requires new security arrangements as well.
00:05:33Therefore, there are concomitant demands or
00:05:37concomitant expectations within the military machine, preparing for the future of the
00:05:40Qalandia area and the vicinity of Jerusalem.
00:05:43Breaking the Palestinian people's spirit, managing, yes,
00:05:46and therefore, as you mentioned, it is a management of the conflict, and it is a transfer
00:05:50of the scene from a state of strangeness to a state of routine, so that the
00:05:54storming of the camp becomes a form of daily Palestinian
00:05:57life. The storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque through
00:06:00prostrations and all the holidays that follow, and what we see of
00:06:04details of displacement of Musafir, displacement
00:06:07of the tents, the continued advance of the yellow line into
00:06:10Palestinian residential squares
00:06:12in the Gaza Strip, is a process
00:06:16that this scene is a normal scene. And I said, with all
00:06:19due respect, after all these lean years, this military
00:06:23machine returns to practice what it practiced in other camps
00:06:26and Palestinian sites. I mean, is it possible that
00:06:28the situation in Qalandia camp will continue
00:06:32as it did in Jenin and Tulkarem? We are talking about nearly
00:06:36two years. And also, let's talk about the steadfastness
00:06:39of our people in the camps who suffer from a difficult reality,
00:06:43and yet they remain steadfast in these difficult conditions
00:06:47that are hard for any human being anywhere to
00:06:50endure. Naturally, I believe that
00:06:53Gaza and Tulkarem, with its two camps,
00:06:56and Jenin and Tubas,
00:06:59and Nablus, and the list goes on, all formed clear arenas
00:07:03of struggle where Palestinian identity was not broken. We saw
00:07:06a scene in the Gaza Strip where the martyr is escorted
00:07:10in a solemn funeral. And from
00:07:14another perspective, there are wedding ceremonies, confirming
00:07:17that we are here, we are here. The Palestinian people are a steadfast
00:07:21people. The Palestinian people will not give up their identity,
00:07:25no matter how hard the occupation tries to make its way through
00:07:28the blood of the Palestinian people. Therefore, there is
00:07:32a strange situation. Israel wants to subjugate the Palestinian people. You see the people
00:07:36in Tulkarem, despite - and this
00:07:39all - the magnitude of the disaster and the great catastrophe. But
00:07:44remaining in Jenin camp. The title
00:07:48remains, and the people, at any moment that fate dictates they return to
00:07:51their locations, they return and start life from scratch and restart
00:07:55the wheel of humanity
00:07:57everywhere. Therefore, we are facing a scene
00:08:01that may be surreal at times, but it is a realistic
00:08:04scene that expresses the Palestinian will, steadfastness, and perseverance.
00:08:09giving up on the rubble. And there is no
00:08:12migration from the homes that are destroyed. We saw in the Gaza Strip people returning to
00:08:16the rubble of their homes and continuing their lives, and this is the case
00:08:20in all areas. Therefore, as I said, this is an electoral
00:08:23round. This is a military operation, and there is no diminishing of
00:08:27its ugliness at all. But the political
00:08:30judgment on the ground will also be the results of the Israeli
00:08:33elections, and then things will follow. We do not
00:08:36rely much on these elections, but we say frankly
00:08:40that there is a competition and jostling
00:08:42among Israelis to change the scene with the Israeli mindset
00:08:46of who is the most extreme, who is the most... And here the
00:08:49question arises, Doctor, what are the options before us
00:08:53now, politically, uh, Arab,
00:08:56diplomatically, internationally also? Look,
00:08:59my dear brother, there is a clear Israeli endeavor to bring the Palestinian
00:09:03people to the death of these options or to convince
00:09:07them that you have no means. You will be exposed to what you are exposed
00:09:10to. The world has abandoned you. The United Nations does not implement
00:09:14its resolutions. Relevant institutions, even human
00:09:17rights institutions, are absent from the scene. Europe is not united and unable
00:09:21to make a decision, even on the issue of sanctioning
00:09:24settlements and measures to boycott
00:09:28scene is intended to bring the Palestinian to the point of despair.
00:09:31The world has abandoned you. You cannot defend yourself. I
00:09:35believe that the survival of the Palestinian, what we talked about regarding images and epics
00:09:39and the affirmation that this steadfastness and preservation
00:09:42of identity is what embodies a new stage in the life
00:09:47conflict. And Israel cannot
00:09:50change the equation of survival in this way. But let me
00:09:54say that there is also a moral responsibility on us to organize
00:09:57our Palestinian house, to organize our factional house within
00:10:02reach situation where
00:10:05we can be stronger and have more presence. Our Palestinian communities,
00:10:09our ambassadors, all of it is a machine. The bee
00:10:13hive must unite on
00:10:17scene. Therefore, my dear brother, we must not give up the means,
00:10:20and my dear sister, we must continue our work. We must not
00:10:24reach the point of despair and always believe that all
00:10:27these accumulations and all these atrocities will not lead to the displacement
00:10:31of the Palestinian people at all. I mean, we are talking
00:10:34about what we have been through from a war of genocide,
00:10:39the camps, restrictions, gates, checkpoints,
00:10:42even difficult economic conditions. We were off air talking, Diaa and I, that the Palestinian
00:10:46people are living in conditions that no creature in the world has lived through or can
00:10:50endure. But as the saying goes, you
00:10:53would have made yourself heard if you had called to the living. But there is a message that needs to reach
00:10:58inaction and in light of this difficult situation. What is the message
00:11:01that should reach the international community at this time?
00:11:05I believe that we must separate the matter into two directions. The first
00:11:09direction is at the popular level. There is a will and there is a change in the popular
00:11:12public map that supports the Palestinian
00:11:16people, but it needs to be influenced, it needs
00:11:19its role to be translated. I am not saying that we should interfere
00:11:22in the policies of states, but we want these states
00:11:26to move from the realm of wishes to the realm of action,
00:11:29in Spain. We see it in other capitals, even in Holland a few
00:11:33days ago, when Europe failed to make a decision
00:11:36to boycott settlement products. Holland intervened,
00:11:40Belgium intervened, true, but we did not see a significant
00:11:43impact in such a way that the voice of the world would be united behind this step. The second
00:11:47aspect is at the governmental level.
00:11:50official positions. There have been recognitions of Palestine
00:11:54from countries that people did
00:11:57not expect to take this step. So, there are changes, and the voice must be heard through them.
00:12:02There are positions that must be taken, but perhaps its impact will be long-term,
00:12:05Doctor, given what we are witnessing today in the world of changes in global public
00:12:09opinion, especially within
00:12:12America. We are talking about, I mean, states that have become supportive of the Palestinian
00:12:16cause, and governors of these states too. There is a great change, in fact, in the global
00:12:20scene, but perhaps the
00:12:23long-term. Look, what is happening now is a mosaic
00:12:27of political events, if you will, in which these changes
00:12:30are taking place. We saw yesterday the results of the primary
00:12:34elections. We saw aspirants from different
00:12:37backgrounds who sympathize with the Palestinian cause, specifically
00:12:41political. Yes, in Michigan and elsewhere, and you will see more
00:12:44of these episodes. But you want to see these
00:12:48episodes complete the integrative scene in which
00:12:51the will is translated into action and the
00:12:55decision is translated into implementation. This situation cannot continue,
00:12:58and then the Palestinian deals with
00:13:01spilling of Palestinian blood increases, the more he feels frustrated,
00:13:05perhaps, or that the world has let him down. But there is a large
00:13:08political accumulation that is changing.
00:13:11The important thing is not to reach the point of despair. The important thing is to see
00:13:14our communities, to see our new generations influencing
00:13:18the political arenas in the world, to see our embassies, to see our internal
00:13:22Palestinian house arranging our situation.
00:13:25The pressure towards a strategy that shows the world that the Palestinian
00:13:28people will not fall
00:13:30due to prescription, in terms of identity, in terms of survival. And we return
00:13:34to the same square where this whole process began, when it was said,
00:13:38"Where are the Palestinians?" We are the Palestinians. And when it was said
00:13:42that the elders die and the young forget, these young people
00:13:47scene with courage and presence. Therefore, all greetings
00:13:50to Qalandia and to all our camps, to our tents, to our villages,
00:13:53to our people abroad, to everyone who watches us. And we say that this journey
00:13:57will continue towards victory, not as a slogan,
00:14:00but also as a steadfastness and survival that embodies our identity.
00:14:04Survival. Yes, all greetings the embers
00:14:07and stand firm on their land, because they are the owners of the right
00:14:10and the owners of the cause, and no right is lost if there is a claimant. Dr.
00:14:14Sabri Saidam, member of the Central Council of the Palestine Liberation Organization, thank you
00:14:17very much for being with us today for this enlightenment. Thank you, dear viewers,
00:14:21we continue with you. We now go to Nablus and follow with you
00:14:25the role of the Ministry of Economy, the Directorate of Economy
00:14:32colleague Dial Al-Assous.
00:14:36Good morning to you all, my dear viewers. We greet you
00:14:39from the markets of Nablus to talk about the economic
00:14:42situation in the city.
00:14:45topic, we are joined by Engineer Bassam Freij, Director
00:14:48of the Directorate of Economy in Nablus. Mr. Bassam,
00:14:51first, how do you assess the economic situation of the markets in
00:14:55Nablus Governorate during this period? May God bless your times, everyone. As
00:14:59you know, currently, the city of Nablus is subjected to a fierce
00:15:02attack by the occupation and herds of settlers. Previously, there
00:15:06were closures, and strict closures on
00:15:09all entrances to the governorate, which
00:15:14the economy and markets in Nablus city. Despite
00:15:17the fact that we are very grateful for the initiatives launched by the youth in
00:15:21Nablus, such as "Yalla to Nablus" and shopping campaigns
00:15:24and offers to encourage people, whether from neighboring villages or
00:15:27from our brethren inside to come to Nablus markets,
00:15:31and it actually had a positive effect. However, the checkpoints
00:15:36the city and the closure that exists negatively affects
00:15:40it. Especially these days, after the attacks that
00:15:43happened on the villages the governorate, which had a very
00:15:47negative effect on
00:15:50the entry of shoppers or
00:15:54to go to the markets. So, there is a decrease
00:15:57in purchasing movement, and we pray to God that it will be a temporary
00:16:00period and life will return to normal. Yes, there is talk
00:16:04among citizens about the possibility of shortages in some
00:16:08goods. What is your comment on these talks? On the contrary,
00:16:12we, since yesterday directly
00:16:15and this morning, denied such rumors. These are rumors
00:16:19that have no basis in truth. Traders, especially in
00:16:22Nablus city, and owners of commercial stores, importers,
00:16:26and flour mills officially denied the news. Through our
00:16:30field tours and our review of the supply stock, there
00:16:34is no shortage compared to previous periods. The supply
00:16:37situation is stable. All goods are available and available
00:16:41in quantities. On the contrary, Nablus is a source for
00:16:45neighboring governorates, specifically essential goods.
00:16:48So, I confirm that there is no shortage of any food item.
00:16:51Supply chains are available and continuous
00:16:55until now. Nothing has been cut off, and these are rumors. We
00:16:58always say that we hope people
00:17:02official bodies, and not through means
00:17:05and applications that have no basis. In reality, yes, as you say,
00:17:11the governorate for food commodities. True, sufficient
00:17:14abundance extending for months, and no shortage has occurred
00:17:18until now. On the contrary, companies
00:17:20have assured us that their stock is as it was before, and the supply
00:17:24chain is still continuous. Yes, does the directorate
00:17:28have sufficient stock of basic goods to meet the needs
00:17:31of citizens? Yes, the city of course, the governorate has enough for
00:17:35it, and I told you for the city and neighboring
00:17:38governorates. I mean, Nablus
00:17:41goods, specifically food and consumer
00:17:45goods. It covers Nablus governorate and covers neighboring governorates that do not have importers
00:17:48and do not have sufficient storage spaces. I mean,
00:17:52the nature of the control
00:17:56markets and commercial stores here in Nablus Governorate, we, the consumer
00:17:59protection teams, specifically in partnership with our partner
00:18:03entities in the governorate, from the Public Safety Committee, the Customs
00:18:06Police, the security agencies, health, agriculture,
00:18:09the municipality, we have joint tours on more than
00:18:13one sector. The most important sectors are food items, which are
00:18:15displaying items under the sun, and this is illegal.
00:18:19We have tours to inventory the supply stock.
00:18:22We have a direct complaint line to receive
00:18:26citizens' complaints, whether about price manipulation or non-conforming
00:18:29goods, in addition
00:18:33butcher shops, grocery stores, to ensure that goods reach
00:18:36consumers safely and healthily, and at a reasonable
00:18:39announced price. Yes, in these operations,
00:18:42I mean, have you detected any cases
00:18:45of monopolization or unjustified price increases?
00:18:49And I mean, if so, how were they dealt with? Until now, regarding
00:18:53prices, no violations have been recorded. On the contrary, due
00:18:56to the abundance of goods, there is competition, and good competition,
00:18:59and offers in commercial stores, I mean,
00:19:03to encourage and attract
00:19:05shoppers. So, the phenomenon of monopolization has not been recorded,
00:19:11prices has not been recorded, as I mentioned to you. On the contrary, there are offers,
00:19:15and encouraging offers, to increase
00:19:18the number of shoppers and to attract the largest number of shoppers. Yes,
00:19:21I mean, Engineer Bassam, I believe that if
00:19:25there was any defect in
00:19:29the availability of some goods, it could be
00:19:32due to people buying in large and enormous quantities
00:19:36due to their fear of any product. I mean, what is your message
00:19:40to citizens regarding, for example, storing
00:19:43food supplies and other food items
00:19:45in large quantities? Our first message
00:19:51food items, and therefore there is no need to rush or buy
00:19:55quantities more than what is needed. Goods
00:19:58are available, warehouses and traders, supply chains, as
00:20:01I mentioned to you, are available, so one should
00:20:04buy and use
00:20:07goods according to their needs or the usual in the house, whether
00:20:10weekly or daily. Regarding storage operations,
00:20:13there are materials that need to be stored easily
00:20:17at home, but there are things, especially in
00:20:20this hot weather, that should not be stored beyond their usual capacity
00:20:23because it is natural for them to spoil, especially things like
00:20:27flour and such, because they need storage conditions that may not
00:20:30be available at home, and due to the high temperature, it leads
00:20:34to spoilage. I mean, Mr.
00:20:37Bassam, I mean, what are the most prominent measures you have taken
00:20:41to ensure market stability during this period? The most important thing for us
00:20:46the chambers of commerce or the Businessmen's Forum. We are in constant contact
00:20:50with them so that we can
00:20:53enable traders to understand their problems, understand
00:20:56what we can offer them so that they can continue in
00:20:59the supply process, in the storage process, because as I mentioned to you,
00:21:03we consider Nablus a central governorate, and the traders
00:21:06there have their capabilities, they have their warehouses,
00:21:10they have the ability to store. So, the most important
00:21:14thing is that we communicate with the private sector so that they are
00:21:17always prepared and ready
00:21:20to store food items and supply them
00:21:24to the Nablus market or to the governorate or to neighboring
00:21:27governorates. Yes, are there any
00:21:31challenges to providing goods and bringing them into
00:21:34the governorate? Until now, nothing abnormal has been mentioned.
00:21:37On the contrary, I mean, the process of
00:21:39purchasing, the process of transportation is happening as I mentioned to you. I mean,
00:21:44the borders or through
00:21:47the governorate, but I mean,
00:21:50they pose a burden, but I mean, God willing, we are able
00:21:54to overcome them. Yes, the goods that are most in demand
00:21:57during this period. I mean, it's a stable
00:22:00period currently. There is nothing special,
00:22:03I mean, like for example, the month of Ramadan or
00:22:07anything else. Until now, the markets are stable. We don't have
00:22:10a shortage of any commodity or an increased demand for another commodity.
00:22:14And perhaps during your tour of the markets, you will see
00:22:17that commercial stores are making
00:22:20offers and prices
00:22:24to attract the largest possible number of consumers. Yes,
00:22:27we reassure the citizen that there
00:22:30is no any
00:22:34defect in the availability of stock 100%. And we
00:22:37are responsible for this statement at the national level, not at the
00:22:41governorate level. Traders, flour mills, and the supply
00:22:44stock are stable and sufficient for a period of
00:22:47time as usual. And also...
00:22:55Mr. Bassam, what is the role of citizens in maintaining market stability, in your opinion? The most important thing is that they do not follow
00:22:59rumors. The most important thing is that there is no fear or
00:23:03panic from any circulating news. I mean,
00:23:06in short, the markets are stable, there is no
00:23:08shortage. So, spreading rumors and spreading
00:23:12that there is a shortage or that there is a reserve, and this happened
00:23:15yesterday, but thank God it was controlled through official
00:23:19statements. Traders, unions,
00:23:22and the main suppliers of essential commodities.
00:23:26So, on the contrary, the citizen was very aware. We
00:23:29did not notice any rush as used to happen in the past due
00:23:33to any rumor. So, I reiterate that the main source
00:23:36of rumors is
00:23:40in the market, but we reiterate that the citizen
00:23:44must be reassured about the supply stock. There is no
00:23:47defect, no real danger.
00:23:52Yes, finally, Engineer Bassam, your
00:23:55message to the people of Nablus Governorate. On the contrary,
00:23:59through you, I thank the traders in Nablus
00:24:02Governorate, because frankly, yesterday, as a result
00:24:05of the rumors, their position was
00:24:08from the traders who themselves denied these rumors.
00:24:11As a result of some citizens rushing
00:24:14to buy, there was a clear denial from them. We contacted
00:24:17them, and they confirmed to us the availability
00:24:20of food supplies, and that there is no shortage. So, this is commendable for the trader
00:24:24in Nablus and the citizens in Nablus. We are in constant communication with them through
00:24:27the complaints number in case
00:24:31the rumors, they raised the issue
00:24:35and so on, but the citizens, on the contrary, we observed
00:24:38yesterday their sense of responsibility,
00:24:42bakeries, no unusual phenomenon. Yes, thank
00:24:45you, Engineer Bassam Freij, Director of the
00:24:49Directorate of Economy in Nablus Governorate. Here we reach
00:24:52the end of this window. In God's hands.
00:25:36Welcome, dear viewers, and in our next
00:25:39segment, we will talk about education and university
00:25:41majors, as investment always and forever
00:25:46investment in education. We are a country that does not possess
00:25:50it. Therefore, we invest in educating our children
00:25:53and keeping up with the global developments that
00:25:56education is witnessing, as success is no longer measured by the number
00:26:00of specializations offered by the university. Not only that, but
00:26:03its ability to foresee future
00:26:06needs. In Palestine, the challenges in choosing
00:26:10specializations are compounded by the economic conditions and also
00:26:13the political conditions. Diaa, yes, Dalal, in this segment, dear viewers,
00:26:17we will talk about Al-Quds Open University. We will learn
00:26:20in detail what this university offers and introduces in terms
00:26:24of new specializations. What are the challenges facing
00:26:27the university as well? Many details, we will certainly
00:26:30learn about them with Dr. Riyad Shtayyeh, Dean of the Faculty of Educational
00:26:34Sciences. Doctor, we are happy to have you with us. Good morning. Welcome. Good
00:26:38morning, brother Diaa. Good morning, sister Dalal. Good morning to Palestine and to the screen
00:26:42of the homeland. Good morning to all Palestinians wherever the sun
00:26:46shines upon them. Welcome, Doctor. First, how
00:26:49do you read the transformations witnessed by university education in
00:26:52Palestine today? I mean, let's take the transformations,
00:26:56from the transformation of the scene on the ground, the political scene, the fluctuations,
00:26:59the situation, the unstable situation that
00:27:03exists in the homeland in general, especially in recent periods.
00:27:07I mean, here the role and importance
00:27:11of educational institutions emerged, and we specifically mention Al-Quds
00:27:15Open University, which was founded
00:27:17and established for these circumstances. I mean, unfortunately, our
00:27:21Palestinian society's circumstances have been the same problem
00:27:24for many years. However, Al-Quds
00:27:27Open University was established for these circumstances. I mean, the idea
00:27:31of establishing the university, let's start from here. I mean, the idea of establishing the university
00:27:35came from the idea of the founding president, the late Yasser Arafat, Abu Ammar,
00:27:38in the midst of the great suffocation that was
00:27:44of time by the Israeli
00:27:47occupation. The idea was to move towards
00:27:51a university that goes to the student and not the student who goes to
00:27:54the university. So the idea of Al-Quds Open University developed,
00:27:57and the idea was born from the heart of the suffering of the Palestinian
00:28:01people and reached the existence of Al-Quds
00:28:04Open University today on the land of the homeland, which
00:28:08is the university of all Palestinians, as it is located in the West Bank and
00:28:13branches distributed in the West Bank and also in the Gaza
00:28:16Strip. We want to ask you, Doctor, how is the university preparing now
00:28:19as we approach the beginning of the new semester to receive
00:28:23new students? Also, we are always working
00:28:26tirelessly. The instructions of the university presidency, represented
00:28:29by His Excellency Professor Dr. Ibrahim Al-Shaher, the university president, to all
00:28:33working staff, administrative and academic, students,
00:28:36workers' union, everyone cooperates to always receive
00:28:40new students. Today, Al-Quds Open University
00:28:45the very prestigious universities in terms of keeping pace with
00:28:51new specializations offered,
00:28:54digital transformation, digitalization, artificial intelligence, the language
00:28:57of the era. Today, the world's direction is the language
00:29:00of the world. Today, the world at Al-Quds Open University, we teach artificial
00:29:04intelligence. Today, we launched it as a new specialization, new
00:29:08specializations. Let's talk about the most prominent of these new
00:29:11specializations that the university has introduced
00:29:14and what necessitated the need for it, and also how you balance between
00:29:17traditional specializations and introducing modern
00:29:21specializations related to digital transformation today. I mean, I want
00:29:25to start with what you ended with, Dalal. Today, we are talking about digital transformation, we are talking about
00:29:29technological acceleration, we are talking about the artificial intelligence revolution
00:29:36the world today. In
00:29:39some literature, it has been said that illiteracy is not about a degree.
00:29:43Illiteracy is for those who do not keep pace with development. Al-Quds Open
00:29:46University always looks to the future because it always strives
00:29:50for its graduates to be competent, well-built, and capable
00:29:53of keeping pace with the requirements
00:29:56of the future. Therefore, we went more
00:29:59towards these requirements, we went more towards artificial intelligence.
00:30:03Today, we have a complete and separate main
00:30:06specialization, which is the artificial
00:30:09intelligence specialization in the College
00:30:13of Technology and Applied Sciences. Similarly, we went for a minor
00:30:16specialization, which is
00:30:20education and learning. And by the way, I will
00:30:25specialization specifically. Today, there is a trend in the Ministry of Education
00:30:28to work on open educational
00:30:34approach. Therefore, there will be some kind of problem
00:30:39schools, especially since the existing staff
00:30:42needs, naturally, to be more qualified for this
00:30:46matter. At Al-Quds Open University, we graduate this staff ready
00:30:49to deal with these developments,
00:30:53to deal with this technological revolution through
00:30:56artificial
00:30:59specialization was new to Al-Quds
00:31:02Open University, in addition to a very important point. Today, we are in
00:31:06the field of artificial intelligence,
00:31:09we have added a course to the artificial
00:31:12intelligence course for all university faculties,
00:31:16which number eight faculties. Therefore, today, a student who
00:31:19studies humanities, for example, today, he
00:31:23has a compulsory course that he must take in artificial intelligence,
00:31:27whether he studies media, engineering, agricultural, regardless of
00:31:30the type of specialization or the form of specialization, he will be subject to artificial
00:31:36is very important, Doctor. To make the most of our time, Doctor, let's know
00:31:40from you what are the academic, financial,
00:31:43and administrative facilities provided
00:31:45to students and their support, especially in light of these difficult circumstances we are living in.
00:31:49Historically, Al-Quds Open University is distinguished
00:31:52by the competitive price per credit hour compared to other universities. Today, the language
00:31:56of numbers often speaks for itself. The transfer
00:31:59that takes place from other universities to Al-Quds Open University, with all our love
00:32:02for all our colleagues in Palestinian universities, the student today and
00:32:05the parents. Let me focus a bit on the parents. Today, parents, excuse me, calculate it
00:32:09financially. If I want to go and take a certain specialization at a university
00:32:13and pay 45 dinars per credit hour, and the same specialization is available with the same
00:32:16degree with greater performance, with respect
00:32:20and appreciation, at 19 dinars, here
00:32:23this, and especially in light of the circumstances that the Palestinian
00:32:27people are living in. Also, there is a very important point,
00:32:30and the biggest facilitation is the issue of flexibility that exists within
00:32:33Al-Quds Open University. Al-Quds Open University
00:32:36combines,
00:32:39sorry, it combines education and
00:32:43work. Therefore, this flexibility that exists at Al-Quds
00:32:46Open University has made it easier for
00:32:51because today the concept of the traditional
00:32:54student who wants to sit for four
00:32:57years on university benches is no longer valid.
00:33:00issue is that today, when you go to the job market after
00:33:03graduation, the job market asks you for an experience certificate. So there will be
00:33:08graduates who went to unemployment. At Al-Quds
00:33:12Open University, we thought outside the box. And in a different way,
00:33:16and we had the solution through
00:33:18the nature of the university,
00:33:22which is open for combining work and sitting
00:33:25for practical training. Practical training is counted as experience. They gained
00:33:29experience while they were studying at the university. We
00:33:32graduate a student who is capable, competent, and qualified
00:33:35for the job market. And this is, I mean, this
00:33:39is the characteristic of Al-Quds Open University, and these are the facilities that this
00:33:42university provides. Well, Dr. Iyad, I mean, we are talking
00:33:45about a large number of high school students
00:33:49who, thank God, passed the high school exam successfully,
00:33:53and many of them are still hesitant, what
00:33:57specializations. What do you say to the students who are still
00:34:00hesitant in choosing specializations? I mean, our message
00:34:04to students in this field is to visit Al-Quds Open University, visit its
00:34:07electronic platforms, and check the university's promotion
00:34:11available through its faculties and through colleagues in
00:34:14the Department of Public and International Relations and Media. Al-Quds Open University
00:34:19specializations that keep pace with the times, despite
00:34:23the difficult circumstances in our Palestinian
00:34:26society, Al-Quds
00:34:30Open University keeps pace with the times. We tell them to visit
00:34:34the university's website, visit all university buildings,
00:34:38and learn from the experience
00:34:41of your colleagues. We have an experience that must be talked about,
00:34:45which is the experience of our students in dear Gaza. As you
00:34:48know and as people know, we had five branches in the Gaza
00:34:52Strip, in addition to 13 branches in the West Bank.
00:34:56Four of the five branches today were razed to the ground by
00:35:00the Israeli aggression.
00:35:03branch, we taught about 5,000 students.
00:35:07And they accumulated debts exceeding 120
00:35:10million shekels. More than 300 employees
00:35:14receive their salaries despite the crisis, and despite
00:35:17that, the university was somewhat financially destabilized,
00:35:21but the university continued to say to all our students in
00:35:24the Gaza Strip, in the West Bank, to the successful high school
00:35:28students, congratulations. Go to Al-Quds Open University.
00:35:32I mean, armies of
00:35:35and staff
00:35:38and academic staff and university administrations and the university presidency
00:35:41are always waiting, Doctor. We certainly wish you all the best.
00:35:45And certainly always forward, and you are a role model
00:35:49to be emulated. Of course, Doctor, thank you for being with us. Good morning. Good morning to Palestine.
00:35:53Thank you. Dear viewers,
00:35:56we move to the Tubas and Northern Jordan Valley
00:35:59governorate and colleague Amir Shaheen to brief us on
00:36:03the latest developments regarding the Israeli occupation's measures
00:36:06that burden the lives of citizens through repeated
00:36:10closures checkpoints
00:36:13and roads at a time when residents face daily challenges
00:36:17and continuous aggression in various governorates. Dear viewers, we now
00:36:21go directly to Tubas. To you, Amir, to give us more
00:36:24details about the nature of what is happening with the continuation of this aggression
00:36:27and continuous closures at all or most of the entrances
00:36:31to Tubas and also extending to the Northern Jordan Valley, which
00:36:34is subjected to continuous violations by settlers
00:36:38and confiscation of land. To you,
00:36:40Amir.
00:36:44Good morning to you and good morning to the esteemed viewers. Indeed,
00:36:48we are addressing you today from the governorate of Tubas and the Northern
00:36:51Jordan Valley. We are talking about the reality that families
00:36:55and geographical areas
00:36:57in this governorate are experiencing, similar to
00:37:02Bank, especially in the northern West Bank.
00:37:06We are talking about
00:37:08closures of checkpoints and military
00:37:11restrictions on these checkpoints, and practically separating
00:37:15the strategic part of this governorate, the Northern Jordan Valley,
00:37:18from its geographical extension, and also we are talking
00:37:22about the exploitation by extremist settlement associations
00:37:25of this reality of incursions,
00:37:28closures, and military restrictions to spread
00:37:31settlement outposts everywhere, even reaching
00:37:34the outskirts of this city. We are
00:37:37talking about the area of Ainun and also
00:37:41Khirbet Abu Salah in this area where
00:37:44we are present. Settler gangs have reached and attacked our
00:37:48people and established settlement outposts around this
00:37:51city and the villages belonging to the governorate.
00:37:55difficult reality that the governorate of Tubas and the Northern
00:37:59Jordan Valley are experiencing with His Excellency the Governor of Tubas, Ahmed
00:38:02Al-Assaad. Your Excellency, we are talking about an unprecedented
00:38:05reality that all areas belonging
00:38:09to this governorate are experiencing. We used to talk
00:38:12about what our people in the Jordan Valley areas are subjected to,
00:38:15and that is the most important thing in this
00:38:18governorate. But today, the aggression has become against
00:38:21all geographical areas in Aqaba,
00:38:25in Tammoun, in Bardala, operations of displacement.
00:38:28Your Excellency, there is a larger settlement project in the northern
00:38:33military road. This is a difficult reality that this
00:38:36governorate is experiencing. Could you inform us and the esteemed viewers about
00:38:40the latest updates? Yes, good morning. What is happening in Tubas governorate
00:38:43is what is happening in the West Bank. Practically, the West Bank is under
00:38:47the occupation army. Tubas governorate is subjected to an unprecedented
00:38:51furious attack, displacement
00:38:54of Bedouin and residential communities. We are talking. There were
00:38:5711 communities that were displaced from the Northern
00:39:00Jordan Valley areas. Of course, these communities
00:39:03and residents approached area A.
00:39:07The areas of sovereignty. And therefore, as I mentioned
00:39:09yesterday and the day before, settlers were in these areas. The occupation seeks
00:39:12through these practices
00:39:16to impose a geographical reality and a geopolitical
00:39:19reality that aims to achieve demographic superiority over the citizens
00:39:23here through the settlement
00:39:25the settlement that is planned to be established east of Tammoun and the settlement
00:39:28road. We are talking about a settlement road from Ain Shibli
00:39:32to Tayasir, and after that, the section from Tayasir
00:39:35to the Bardala area, about 8-9 kilometers.
00:39:39All of that is accompanied by displacement operations, and displacement
00:39:42means uprooting the citizen from his land, and therefore this violates
00:39:46all international agreements, a violation
00:39:48of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which one of its clauses is not
00:39:52to prejudice daily livelihood issues such as drinking water, as is happening
00:39:55now in our areas.
00:39:57They cut off water from about 12,000 dunams in the Ras
00:40:01al-Ahmar area and livestock breeders. And this affects
00:40:05livestock breeders. We are talking about 15,000 dunams that were pastures.
00:40:08Now, only 1500
00:40:11dunams, and even the 1500 dunams are exposed
00:40:14to pressure from settlers and the army.
00:40:17I mean, Your Excellency, even practically,
00:40:20the camps that were evacuated previously in 2013
00:40:24and 2014 have been re-established.
00:40:28These camps, but this time as settlements for settler
00:40:32gangs. And we see advertisements here
00:40:35and there that settlement associations
00:40:38attract families of settlers to
00:40:42the Tayasir camp, for example. And also, there
00:40:45was a camp that was evacuated previously in the Um al-Ibr area along
00:40:49Road 90. The settlement in the Northern Jordan Valley areas
00:40:52returned to it, but as a new settlement, and these
00:40:55settlements are being legalized. There is a clear
00:40:59and integrated plan for roles between the political
00:41:02and military levels and the settlement associations, which are demanding
00:41:06control over these lands and the continuation of incursions
00:41:10into sovereign centers. Yes,
00:41:13practically, what is happening in the Northern Jordan Valley is the implementation of the Allon Plan, a plan
00:41:17that was proposed in the seventies and is now being implemented.
00:41:20I mean, the text of this plan and control of
00:41:24approximately one-third of the West Bank's area started in northern
00:41:27Palestine from Beit Shean the south in Bethlehem.
00:41:33the Jordan River towards Tubas. Yes, they started
00:41:36establishing settlements. Of course, the settlement began to
00:41:39implement this plan some time ago through silent settlement,
00:41:43the control of settler gangs over the hillsides in all
00:41:48line. And therefore, now what they call the crimson road
00:41:51is being implemented, which will connect the settlements of Tubas
00:41:55governorate with the settlements of Jenin, as you saw yesterday and the day
00:41:58before, the threat of demolition in eastern
00:42:01Jenin. And therefore, this settlement line, yes, they
00:42:04are trying to cement the fait accompli and impose
00:42:08a reality in these areas. Of course, all of that violates international
00:42:12agreements. The Palestinian people will remain steadfast and patient in this
00:42:15land. We strive by all available means
00:42:19to strengthen the steadfastness of citizens in these areas. First,
00:42:23our citizen is steadfast because it is his land, the land of his ancestors.
00:42:26And therefore, yes, there is a plan
00:42:29that the extremist right-wing government has started to implement
00:42:33on the ground. I mean, the spread of settlements
00:42:36and the tightening of military checkpoints
00:42:39where our people are always subjected to humiliation
00:42:42and degradation at these checkpoints, Tayasir
00:42:46and Ain Shibli. All of that was exploited by settlement associations
00:42:49with unlimited support from the occupation government to implement
00:42:53these settlement projects. But these projects and the spread
00:42:56of outposts have greatly affected people's lives
00:43:01the vital sector in this governorate, which is the only
00:43:05source of livelihood for all families in this governorate,
00:43:08agriculture. We are talking about strategic areas, a strategic
00:43:12part of Palestine's food basket. We have lost
00:43:15it today due to
00:43:18line that I mentioned, and the cutting off of water and the destruction
00:43:23agricultural land. Today, families in Tubas
00:43:26are living a difficult reality in light of the spread of settlement
00:43:32what is happening here in the Jordan Valley outposts. Yes,
00:43:36Jerusalem, in Gaza. It is a struggle of wills, a struggle between right and wrong. Yes.
00:43:40The situation is difficult, but this is an occupation. We will remain in
00:43:43this land. And therefore, what is happening
00:43:46is, as I mentioned, the implementation of this policy.
00:43:49Our role is to remain steadfast on our land. And here we commend
00:43:52the role of the Palestinian citizen in the Northern Jordan Valley, who, despite all
00:43:56these challenges, is steadfast. What is happening today is
00:43:59the implementation the past for settlement
00:44:03associations, such as Kahane Chai. Today, it is
00:44:08the Knesset, from the constitutional
00:44:11bodies in the occupation government.
00:44:13And therefore, we must remain steadfast in this land. We
00:44:17strive by all available means
00:44:20the field before we conclude, Your Excellency the Governor. The most
00:44:24affected sector by this settlement is the agricultural sector. We are talking about
00:44:28billions of shekels lost by the Palestinian farmer, especially
00:44:31in the Sahel al-Baqa'a area and livestock and Ras al-Ahmar.
00:44:35So what is required from the official
00:44:38bodies and from you to support the Palestinian farmer in this
00:44:42area quickly, please.
00:44:46in the previous period, we brought diplomatic delegations.
00:44:49Yesterday, there was a diplomatic delegation, the ministerial
00:44:52delegation, under the instructions of His Excellency the President, and the directives of His Excellency the
00:44:55Prime Minister. And
00:44:58an emergency committee was formed to assess the damages, and it was an emergency
00:45:02measure. Yesterday, there was a distribution from the Ministry of Agriculture
00:45:05of transmission lines. We, within
00:45:08the available capabilities, strive to support the Palestinian
00:45:11citizen through governmental institutions and non-governmental
00:45:15institutions. The Palestinian people will remain steadfast in
00:45:18this land, God willing. Thank you, thank you, Your Excellency the Governor of Tubas and the Northern Jordan Valley,
00:45:22Ahmed Al-Assaad, for being with us and for these details.
00:45:25Yes, this is the reality that Tubas governorate is experiencing. In
00:45:29light of the closure of checkpoints and the spread of settlements in all
00:45:35and the spread of settlements
00:45:38and settler gangs and attacks on our people
00:45:42have particularly affected the agricultural sector in this
00:45:45governorate, from which all families in this
00:45:49governorate live. This sector
00:45:52loses billions of shekels daily, thousands of shekels,
00:45:56sorry. It has reached a point where the initial losses in the area
00:45:59of livestock and Ras al-Ahmar
00:46:02of agricultural investments completely destroyed by
00:46:06the occupation's bulldozers. Thank you
00:46:10for this clarification and for informing us about the difficult
00:46:13reality that our people in Tubas governorate are experiencing. From a difficult
00:46:17reality, dear viewers, our people in Tubas
00:46:20governorate are experiencing. To Tulkarm, where
00:46:23displaced people from Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps is deepening
00:46:27with the continuation of the occupation's aggression for about 19 months
00:46:31and the accompanying economic blockade that has burdened the city
00:46:34and exhausted its ability to meet the increasing humanitarian
00:46:38needs. Follow
00:46:42continuous aggression on Tulkarm and its two camps, Nour Shams and Tulkarm,
00:46:45with colleague Ihab Dhmir. Ihab, to you,
00:46:48please.
00:46:52Yes, good morning, Diaa. Good morning, Dalal. Good morning to all
00:46:55viewers. Indeed, this aggression is still ongoing,
00:46:59still gnawing at all the details of life here in
00:47:05aggression, the most detailed and affected
00:47:08issues it continuously affects is the issue of displaced people. This
00:47:12issue is a worsening one because their suffering is continuous, and with
00:47:16the passage of time, the suffering becomes greater and more, and this makes
00:47:20the circumstances not easy. Practically, we are talking about
00:47:2425,000 displaced people. I mean, we are talking about a large number of displaced people from
00:47:28Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps and the surrounding area. Therefore, these
00:47:31displaced people are living very difficult circumstances.
00:47:34Even at this moment, here we will try
00:47:37to learn more about this escalating and increasing suffering,
00:47:41the daily and increasing needs of these
00:47:44displaced people in light of these difficult circumstances, in light of what
00:47:48the displaced are suffering from. We are hosting here Mr. Faisal Salameh,
00:47:52who is the head of the Popular Services Committee
00:47:55for Tulkarm Camp, to inform us about the reality of the displaced
00:47:57and their escalating suffering. Welcome to you. Good
00:48:01morning. Good morning to you and all listeners and viewers in the homeland. Yes,
00:48:04if we were talking about the displaced, the displaced are living in difficult
00:48:08of time means
00:48:12the expansion of this time span means
00:48:15more suffering. Initially, the most important details that the displaced
00:48:18are suffering from these days in light of the talk about
00:48:23displacement. I mean, certainly, when we talk about
00:48:2725,000 displaced people from Tulkarm and Nour Shams,
00:48:30they are certainly living in very difficult, harsh, oppressive,
00:48:34and unjust circumstances as a result of the
00:48:37invasion of the camps and the expulsion of residents and forced displacement
00:48:39and their removal from their
00:48:43homes. And also, the occupation exacerbated this
00:48:46crisis by demolishing houses, opening
00:48:50roads, and destroying residential houses.
00:48:52And sabotage and tampering with all the contents of homes in the camps,
00:48:56where the majority of camp houses are not suitable
00:49:00for human habitation. Destruction of infrastructure, sewage networks,
00:49:03water, communications, electricity. Certainly, this
00:49:06crisis is escalating,
00:49:09and the victim is the displaced person who was expelled from his home in front of
00:49:12international steadfastness, in front of a deadly
00:49:16and unjust silence regarding what is happening with the policies
00:49:19and occupation measures to extend the military operation.
00:49:22This exacerbates and continues to exacerbate this crisis
00:49:25and the humanitarian, service, and social problem. It
00:49:28is truly the extension of the military decision
00:49:32until September 30, 2026.
00:49:35Certainly, we were hoping to return to the camp and carry out reconstruction
00:49:39and rehabilitation despite all the difficult circumstances. We realize that we need years
00:49:43to remove the rubble and build and rehabilitate. And what about
00:49:49their complete camps? This is something that is truly one of the most important
00:49:53issues related to the issue of displaced people. I mean, the most important need
00:49:56you work for
00:49:59need? I mean, first, we, on a daily basis, as popular
00:50:03committees in partnership with the Relief Agency and
00:50:07the staff of the Governorate and Social Development. These three
00:50:10institutions and the supporting international ones
00:50:13sit
00:50:17issues. The most important problem is how to provide food and drink.
00:50:20This is an essential thing that the displaced person needs daily. And the biggest problem
00:50:24that haunts
00:50:27the displaced is the monthly entitlement for rent
00:50:30instead of shelter for property owners. And many property owners
00:50:34have resorted to this, which is also a big problem that worries us and daily
00:50:37poses a very big problem for us when a property
00:50:41owner goes to court to file
00:50:43a complaint against many displaced people for not paying the monthly
00:50:47rent due to the property owner. Here, the law
00:50:50enforces this procedure. This is a legal right that we understand, but in the circumstances
00:50:54of the displaced person who, when he receives a complaint from the Palestinian
00:50:58judiciary, wants to implement it, then from where
00:51:01here we ask, from
00:51:04person pay this amount in light of the decline in the role of the Relief Agency
00:51:10the refugee and displaced person. The Agency is suffering from a financial deficit, and also
00:51:13the confiscation of the Authority's funds by the ministry that provides
00:51:17services, such as the Ministry of Social Development. Certainly, the confiscation of funds
00:51:20and the Authority's time have caused its service role to decline
00:51:24here, as I said. The victim and the one
00:51:26who suffers is truly the displaced person.
00:51:30The displaced person is between providing food and drink daily,
00:51:34daily living expenses
00:51:37the camp, in an agency clinic, in schools, rain reaches the school
00:51:41and the clinic. Today, this is also a problem
00:51:44the suburbs and in the governorate when he comes to the health clinic that was opened
00:51:48by the agency in the city center and in the suburbs. He needs
00:51:51transportation. So there is a financial cost to go
00:51:54for treatment. He needs taxi fares,
00:51:57and he also needs to buy
00:52:01the agency. This deficit here. Here are the efforts made in this regard by
00:52:04you in the popular services committees, whether in Tulkarm camp or Nour
00:52:08Shams camp. Where do these efforts lie? We know the exceptional
00:52:11and difficult financial circumstances. that the people are living in as a result of the siege,
00:52:15the financial siege, all of Karem as a result of the siege of the city basically, and the targeting of
00:52:19the commercial sector there. But with all that, where do these
00:52:22efforts lie? The presence of the occupation in the camps
00:52:26and turning the camps into military barracks, yes, affected the educational
00:52:30and economic situation
00:52:33and life in general. I mean, everything about our life was affected. We're talking
00:52:36about a situation where there is an imposed occupation reality,
00:52:41the camp, and this may affect all aspects of life, whether
00:52:45for the displaced from Khameh Al-Shams or for citizens in general.
00:52:49I mean, even the citizen here, there is no doubt that the camps
00:52:52were very important
00:52:55living areas in the reality of the camps, and the camp is a continuous
00:52:59life. Yes, the presence of the camps also represented an economic
00:53:03support for the city. Its commercial markets have seen a significant
00:53:06decline due to unemployment, and the prohibition
00:53:12inside, as well as the lack of job opportunities. There is now
00:53:16very little financial liquidity, and a scarcity of
00:53:19all resources. So today, when people spread throughout the governorate,
00:53:23yes, it affected
00:53:25the commercial movement, which declined significantly. The economic,
00:53:29educational, and living situation in general here. We are making efforts, the efforts
00:53:33that we, as a popular committee, are constantly making. First, UNRWA is the primary
00:53:37patron and responsible for the affairs
00:53:40of refugees in general. It sponsors and provides
00:53:43educational and humanitarian services. We are always in contact with the agency,
00:53:46although there is a financial deficit and a decline in its roles and an attempt to dry up its resources. However, UNRWA
00:53:50was established by international law No. 102. It is responsible for refugees, and also the Palestinian
00:53:54National Authority in its reality
00:53:57and the agreements signed between the PLO, the Palestinian National Authority,
00:54:01and the international community. The international community must bear responsibility as donor and contributing states
00:54:05that provide funds to the Palestinian National Authority through the Ministry of Development. We also make
00:54:09efforts through the Ministry of Development to provide aid to citizens
00:54:12and displaced persons, but the scarcity of resources that we suffer from and the financial
00:54:16and economic siege that we suffer from as a Palestinian people,
00:54:20specifically the Tulkarem governorate, with its gates called Jabara
00:54:23and the settlement of Haifa and the settlement of Anab and the Anab
00:54:27checkpoint, these names and the apartheid wall that surrounds Tulkarem, yes,
00:54:31and the prevention of our people from entering to shop. All
00:54:34these issues and the occupation factors have greatly affected us, and we live
00:54:38in a very large prison, in a way, in the governorate.
00:54:41All governorates are like gates, and they are
00:54:45a prison like a homeland. They turned our homeland into
00:54:48a prison. And the settlement and settlement expansion, all these issues
00:54:52have affected our Palestinian people and our cause. But our people remain steadfast and
00:54:55vigilant until the occupation and its settlers are gone and
00:54:58an independent Palestinian state with its capital, Jerusalem, is established, God willing. Thank you, Faisal
00:55:02Silabi, you are the head of the Popular Services Committee.
00:55:05For Tulkarem camp, thank you for all these explanations. Indeed, the reality of the displaced
00:55:08is not easy, but efforts are being made for them, despite
00:55:12the limited resources, to strengthen their steadfastness
00:55:16until their return to Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps. Back to you two.
00:55:19Yes, I mean, our colleague, a difficult reality is being experienced by
00:55:23our people in all camps and in all
00:55:26cities, towns, and villages. We pray to God that
00:55:29this situation and reality will change to a better one. Our colleague Ihab
00:55:32Damiri, thank you very much for this
00:55:35illumination, dear viewers. From the Tulkarem governorate, we have reached the
00:55:39end of our morning journey on the Palestine This Morning program. However,
00:55:43the coverage continues on Palestine TV. Until
00:55:46we meet again tomorrow morning, we bid you farewell, entrusting you to God, who does not lose what is entrusted to Him.
00:55:50May you be well, Diaf. Thank you, Dalal. May you be well, dear viewers. This coverage
00:55:54continues with you on Palestine TV, and the morning
00:55:58journey will be, God willing, next Saturday. Until then, goodbye.
00:56:01اللقاء.
00:57:00We came here and found the scene as you see it,
00:57:02like, immediately. You love the army. I mean, we came here and found
00:57:06the scene this time, yes.
00:57:10This area was one of the most beautiful areas, and
00:57:14as you can see now, it's destroyed.
00:57:36camp is considered a safe
00:57:39people. Two
00:57:43the port to relax, because the port is the only area where people
00:57:46can breathe. A reconnaissance plane
00:57:50bombed them with one missile, so they were torn to pieces. You
00:57:54can see the pieces, and the other one, we can say, may God have mercy on him, because his condition
00:57:57is critical. Where is the ceasefire? We are telling the world, where is the ceasefire?
00:58:01We have blood every day. Every day, we say goodbye.
00:58:04بنودع
00:58:09Some of
00:58:35this is the grave of the martyr Muhammad Abu Bakr.
00:58:38This is not masculinity. This is not
00:58:41masculinity. Even in his
00:58:44grave, even in his grave,
00:58:48under the protection of the army. The army that was
00:58:52with them.
00:58:57The settlers came at seven in the morning. They came
00:59:01from here, from the valley. They came out from this area
00:59:04and attacked this area here and started smashing it at
00:59:087 in the morning. We were surprised by the attack because we are in the city center.
00:59:11We are not next to
00:59:14settlements. The nearest settlement is five kilometers away from us. This
00:59:20thousands of years, and it is a cemetery belonging to the town. No
00:59:23one approaches them
00:59:26or says they attacked them.
01:00:23Main headlines. Welcome. Occupation forces continue
01:00:27their aggression on Qalandia camp and Kafr Aqab town, north of occupied Jerusalem,
01:00:32in a row, amidst a wide raid campaign
01:00:36young men. Our correspondent reported that occupation forces
01:00:39sent new military reinforcements this morning to
01:00:42the camp and began carrying out a demolition operation
01:00:45for a number of commercial stores
01:00:48in the vicinity of Qalandia military checkpoint, in addition to
01:00:51raiding dozens of homes and carrying out
01:00:54arrests and field investigations.
01:00:57Occupation forces also imposed a ban on
