00:00:00Escalation. at the
00:00:02Arqoub, we will continue this A new electoral list registered that
00:00:06will contest the upcoming Israeli
00:00:08to what we are experiencing today in elections. There are at
00:00:10the West Bank. Israel is least eight parties, part of
00:00:12whose political program, which they put forward
00:00:15and advocate, is based on the complete displacement
00:00:19of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip,
00:00:22and also from within the Green Line. What is noticeable
00:00:27operations in that area, in in Israel currently, as published by the Hebrew newspaper
00:00:31by the Israeli occupation Davar Rishon, and also by its newspaper Haaretz,
00:00:33through social science
00:00:36of Nablus city. experts and intelligence experts, is the shift
00:00:39of support for the idea of displacing
00:00:42Palestinians from the margins to
00:00:47the army
00:00:47extend to Ramin village in the center. And all of that
00:00:48army and military is due to the dominance of
00:00:51the religious motive in strategic thinking in
00:00:54Israel. Without a doubt, these calls will intensify
00:00:58and are intensifying
00:01:01They use loudspeakers to yell daily as we approach the election date. However,
00:01:05the matter is not related to the elections.
00:01:08the occupation constantly raids, with There is an ideological goal within Israel that is being
00:01:12crystallized, around which there is consensus within Israel, which
00:01:16is the complete negation of the Palestinian from the map,
00:01:19whether Palestinians in the Gaza Strip or Palestinians in the West Bank,
00:01:23and also from within the
00:01:26Green Line. I mean, are we facing a temporary
00:01:30security measure or a new Israeli approach
00:01:33to dealing with the West Bank? What is happening in the West
00:01:37Bank is a project adopted by
00:01:41and launch attacks on this Israeli government, based on
00:01:45killing the two-state
00:01:48option as a solution to the conflict
00:01:52between
00:01:55However, the clear goal the two parties, as they believe. Now, the pace
00:01:59of
00:02:01is being accelerated in order to prevent
00:02:05through a permanent military presence and confine Palestinians within
00:02:06also a presence of settlers on the areas classified as A
00:02:09and B,
00:02:16a presence of settlers on population centers. Settlement outposts which are within a range not exceeding 40% of the area aimed at imposing facts on the of these two areas. Also, the northern
00:02:19West Bank is being separated
00:02:22from its center by a transverse
00:02:25settlement strip starting from the east in
00:02:28the Yitzhar
00:02:30governorate, where the occupation prevents and Immanuel
00:02:35coincide with settlements in the west. This is a plan to separate Nablus and Jenin from
00:02:38the central West Bank
00:02:43of vehicles eye hundreds of vehicles and stop army. The matter is not the natural expansion and growth of the Nablus and Jenin governorates, and also
00:02:47the Ramallah governorate. In the other
00:02:50transverse section, in
00:02:53the Iwun area, in the vicinity of Jerusalem, there is
00:02:56a massive settlement project to isolate the holy
00:03:00city and the future capital
00:03:05from these soldiers who close Sharaf checkpoint, which it maintains on and the Palestinian capital from the central West Bank
00:03:08and its south. These two
00:03:11projects are strategic projects.
00:03:16any village is forbidden The Israeli government is accelerating
00:03:20where is the scene heading their implementation to create facts
00:03:20these facts on our people, preventing on the ground
00:03:22them from accessing vast areas that are not easy to overcome or reverse
00:03:24in the future if
00:03:28a solution of two states
00:03:32Pressure is now being exerted is proposed as a solution to the conflict. I mean, what has changed
00:03:35militarily or politically inside Israel to make
00:03:38Netanyahu's government push for
00:03:42more Israeli forces
00:03:46and incitement and operations in the West Bank? The
00:03:49the governorate. current Israeli government, as we approach the election
00:03:52date,
00:03:55here about a very serious danger the explanation for what is happening in Israel, as desired by
00:03:58senior military experts and analysts
00:04:03and the eruption of a third intifada in that is being imposed at this in Israel, such as Amiram and Israel in the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz, says
00:04:08to what extent is this that senior officers believe that the closer
00:04:12we get to the election
00:04:13at this time, imposing date, and given the pressure exerted
00:04:16by the American administration on the Israeli
00:04:20army and on Netanyahu in arenas such
00:04:24as the Lebanese, Syrian, and Iranian
00:04:27arenas, the remaining arena for Netanyahu
00:04:30currently to curry favor
00:04:33with the Israeli public is the West Bank by resorting
00:04:37to and pushing things towards
00:04:40escalation
00:04:41and this is accompanied by and giving settlers free rein
00:04:44to burn houses with their inhabitants, and even attacking and accelerating the pace of settlement.
00:04:47All of that is to satisfy the settlers,
00:04:51of the project is being completed in addition to serving the ideological goals of the right wing, which are based
00:04:54on eliminating the two-state
00:04:57solution as a proposed idea
00:05:00to resolve to change
00:05:03the reality that the West
00:05:07of the Palestinian presence Bank and Gaza Strip are experiencing.
00:05:10The editor of Israeli affairs at Palestine TV, Anas Abu
00:05:15discussion with you, of course, but let's now move to
00:05:18Nablus with our correspondent Muhammad Al-Khatib
00:05:21to get the latest developments and updates
00:05:24on the ground in light of the escalating attacks
00:05:27and violations by the occupation army and settler gangs in
00:05:30various parts of the governorate. What is the situation
00:05:33in Nablus governorate at this moment,
00:05:36Muhammad?
00:05:40Yes, greetings to you and the esteemed
00:05:43viewers. We are now at the Deir Sharaf checkpoint, located west
00:05:48This checkpoint, which the occupation closes,
00:05:51and all checkpoints surrounding Nablus city are closed, or some
00:05:55are open and closed in both directions, and some allow vehicles
00:05:58to pass after a while, but they are subject to extensive inspections
00:06:02and military procedures by the occupation army. Here,
00:06:05hundreds of Palestinian vehicles are lined up
00:06:08on both sides near this military checkpoint, in addition
00:06:12to a large presence of the occupation at
00:06:15its entrance. This applies to most military
00:06:18checkpoints surrounding Nablus city, especially the western,
00:06:22southern, and southeastern areas. We are talking about Deir
00:06:25Sharaf, Surra, Al-Murabba', Awarta,
00:06:28and also Beit Furik checkpoints. These checkpoints are experiencing major
00:06:32and suffocating traffic jams and the policy of collective punishment
00:06:35practiced by the occupation army against our people here in Nablus governorate.
00:06:39However, more dangerous than that are the calls coming from
00:06:42extremist settlers from terrorist groups operating here
00:06:46in Nablus governorate, specifically in the southern area, to organize
00:06:50marches and gatherings
00:06:54Palestinian villages and towns here in Nablus governorate through
00:06:57social media belonging to these
00:07:01extremist gangs, in addition to their private groups.
00:07:05Calls to go out to intersections and areas
00:07:09close to settlements to close roads
00:07:12and intersections. In light of these
00:07:16calls, the occupation army has responded to these calls
00:07:19and implemented a policy of collective punishment, closing
00:07:23most military checkpoints surrounding Nablus city. And just before we went
00:07:26live, a group of settlers
00:07:29attacked citizens' vehicles in the vicinity of Jabal Sabih
00:07:33in Beita town, where the so-called Yitzhar
00:07:36settlement was established on the lands of citizens in that area,
00:07:40amid a large military presence. And this
00:07:43is also at the Za'tara checkpoint, located south
00:07:46of Nablus city. We will see
00:07:49in the camera's
00:07:52lined up here at this military checkpoint due to
00:07:56the military measures taken by the occupation. We are talking
00:07:59here about the deliberate closure by occupation
00:08:02soldiers during rush hour, when citizens
00:08:05return from their work to their homes, and university students. Here we see
00:08:09these vehicles lined up on both sides of the road, which
00:08:12the occupation prevents from passing through the Deir
00:08:17the western area of Nablus city.
00:08:20As I mentioned to you at the beginning of the message, this applies
00:08:23to most military checkpoints surrounding
00:08:26Nablus city. And here we pause a little at these measures,
00:08:30that the occupation army, in every incident or in every
00:08:33issue fabricated by settlers or Israeli occupation forces, whether by
00:08:37shooting at citizens under the pretext that there is an operation or a stabbing
00:08:41or a run-over, the occupation deliberately carries out such
00:08:43policies against the Palestinian citizen
00:08:47who faces the occupation system, starting from
00:08:50occupation soldiers, all the way to settler militias
00:08:54who are currently issuing
00:08:56threats
00:08:58against Palestinian citizens to launch attacks
00:09:02on them, whether in villages and towns or at intersections. We are talking
00:09:07on the road linking Nablus and Ramallah governorates.
00:09:11And there, the so-called Alei settlement, which
00:09:14includes the most extremist elements of these terrorist
00:09:18groups, and which always closes these roads and is present
00:09:21at the intersections between the
00:09:24Shiloh settlement, which is also close to the main
00:09:27road, and there are militias and dozens of settlers
00:09:31from time to time. However, we also talk about
00:09:35other details. The villages and towns
00:09:38here, the Bedouin communities and hamlets, are subjected to a frantic
00:09:42and large attack by settler militias, especially we are talking about
00:09:45Khirbet al-Marajim, where residents are subjected
00:09:49daily to attacks by settler militias, starting
00:09:53with shooting, attempting
00:09:57citizens. We are talking about armed
00:10:00settlers, fully armed,
00:10:03possessing communication devices belonging to the occupation army
00:10:07and long rifles that are brandished in the faces of citizens, shooting
00:10:10and besieging houses from time to time in
00:10:14Khirbet al-Marajim to force the Palestinian citizen who is present in this
00:10:18area on his land and property to leave by force and under
00:10:21the weight of the settlement threats that this terrorist
00:10:25gang is carrying out, a policy of targeting
00:10:28the Palestinian citizen and pressuring him
00:10:32to leave his land and property. The situation is
00:10:35also similar in the archaeological Al-Masoudiya area, located northwest
00:10:39of Nablus city, and specifically, its lands
00:10:42belong to Burqa village. Electricity
00:10:46lines were cut by settlers from the homes of citizens located in
00:10:52the area, and they even prevent anyone from reaching
00:10:55these electricity poles and lines so that they can
00:10:59be repaired by settler militias who are
00:11:02present in the area and who recently established a settlement outpost
00:11:06on citizens' lands in the northwest Nablus area, specifically in the Al-Masoudiya lands that
00:11:12the eastern area of Tulkarm governorate. We are talking
00:11:15here about continuous aggression that escalates day
00:11:18after day in Nablus governorate.
00:11:22And this is accompanied by extensive raids and searches conducted
00:11:26by the occupation army, whether here in Nablus city or in its four refugee camps, or even
00:11:30in the governorate's countryside, which
00:11:33only a few hours separating one raid from another, and sometimes
00:11:37in a single hour, three or four raids are recorded,
00:11:40as part of a policy in which the occupation government seeks to impose
00:11:44a fait accompli on the Palestinian citizen and a policy of flexing muscles against
00:11:47an unarmed citizen facing a complete system armed with weapons
00:11:51and military vehicles. The occupation army has reached the point
00:11:53of using massive military
00:11:56vehicles and tanks in Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp, west of Nablus city, and
00:12:00closed it three days ago to the movement of citizens
00:12:03and launched a wide raid and search campaign that affected dozens
00:12:07of homes and subjected citizens to field interrogation.
00:12:10All of that is under flimsy pretexts and excuses used
00:12:13by the occupation army to justify these military operations
00:12:17and continuous aggression against our people.
00:12:20on the ground is that the Israeli occupation forces seek to impose
00:12:24a reality here in the governorate and the rest of the country
00:12:30in city centers, or even in refugee camps and in the countryside
00:12:33of the governorates, cutting off their parts and confining Palestinian
00:12:37are being established at an accelerated pace at a time when Palestinian citizens
00:12:41are prevented from accessing their land and property, and even local
00:12:44authorities, villages, towns, and village councils
00:12:48are prevented from connecting water and electricity lines to
00:12:51areas near settlements to strengthen the resilience
00:12:55of citizens who face the occupation army and settler militias,
00:12:58and even the natural and geographical expansion of villages is now restricted
00:13:02due to what these settlement gangs and the occupation army are doing,
00:13:06and the so-called civil administration that carries out demolition
00:13:09and eviction orders to stop construction in
00:13:13an effort to undermine Palestinian existence
00:13:16for the sake of establishing settlement outposts and expanding
00:13:19existing settlements and seizing more
00:13:22Palestinian land so that these settlements can be
00:13:26connected to each other. The area east of Nablus,
00:13:29specifically we are talking about the villages of Salem, Azmout, Deir al-Hatab,
00:13:32even Beit Furik and Beit Dajan,
00:13:35in these areas, more than 10 settlement
00:13:39outposts were established in a record time, in which the
00:13:42occupation raced against time to impose
00:13:47of land, in addition to the hamlets and Bedouin communities that
00:13:51were evacuated, as happened in Yanoun, as well as in Khirbet.
00:13:57on the residents of Khirbet al-Marajim, as well as in Khirbet al-Tuwaya, which
00:14:00belongs to Aqraba town, located south of Nablus city, through organizing
00:14:04attacks and stealing livestock
00:14:07and targeting Palestinian citizens in that area through
00:14:10shooting and giving settlers free rein, which has become the most
00:14:14successful tool for the extremist government in emptying Palestinian land
00:14:18here in Nablus governorate and in the rest of the governorates. However,
00:14:21the image of the occupation manifests itself in its ugliest forms through
00:14:25the policy of collective punishment
00:14:28moment on our people at the checkpoints and military
00:14:31points surrounding Nablus city and in the governorate
00:14:35in general, which the occupation is closing
00:14:38a strict military cordon on citizens
00:14:41and preventing their movement. And if some vehicles pass,
00:14:45it is subject to strict military procedures, inspection,
00:14:49subjecting citizens to field interrogation, and even detaining vehicles.
00:14:52We tried to advance towards the Deir Sharaf checkpoint,
00:14:55but vehicles are lined up here,
00:14:58and we could not reach the area due to the occupation's closure
00:15:02of this military checkpoint, which it closes to the movement
00:15:05of Palestinian citizens at this moment.
00:15:09Thank you very much, Muhammad Al-Khatib, our correspondent from Nablus, for all
00:15:12these clarifications and details you provided us with regarding the situation
00:15:16in the governorate. And our dear viewers,
00:15:19we note that the occupation forces are currently raiding
00:15:23the ATC Clinic hospital in Al-Masaif neighborhood in Ramallah
00:15:27city, coinciding with the raid campaign they are carrying
00:15:31out in various areas of the governorate, with the tightening
00:15:34of military measures at all entrances
00:15:38and exits. And to talk more about this topic,
00:15:41our colleague Hassan Abu Al-Rub joins us via phone,
00:15:45who has been detained since the early morning hours at
00:15:48the Mikhmas checkpoint, like all our Palestinian
00:15:52people. Hassan, first of all, welcome,
00:15:56and we wish you and all our people safety. Could you tell
00:15:59us about the situation at this checkpoint and the congestion
00:16:03of vehicles and the suffocating
00:16:05traffic jam caused
00:16:08forces at this checkpoint? Yes,
00:16:11first of all, greetings to you, my colleague, and to our dear viewers and followers.
00:16:15For more than three hours until this moment, from Jenin
00:16:19to Ramallah, we have not yet arrived, as there is
00:16:23a large number of occupation vehicles in
00:16:27the area of Ain al-Haramiya.
00:16:30Palestinian citizens are forbidden from taking the road or the
00:16:34street or even turning right, meaning going to Ramallah.
00:16:39at vehicles to return from where they came, and they are
00:16:42not allowed to return as there is another checkpoint
00:16:46preventing Palestinians or vehicle owners from returning. This
00:16:50forced us to proceed on the street that
00:16:53leads in an attempt to reach through what
00:16:56is called Beit El Street, but this street is also completely
00:16:59closed, and we went to the Jaba'
00:17:03checkpoint. Thousands of Palestinian vehicles coming
00:17:06from the southern West Bank are stuck at this checkpoint
00:17:10without anyone being allowed to advance a single
00:17:13meter. And there is a large number of occupation soldiers and
00:17:16occupation police also in an unprecedented scene with this
00:17:19large number of army personnel besieging the area
00:17:23and assaulting vehicle owners by yelling
00:17:26and demanding them to stop and taking the keys
00:17:30of some vehicles at the Jaba' military checkpoint near Ramallah,
00:17:33and they are forbidden from advancing a single step forward.
00:17:36Honestly, an unprecedented scene. Great
00:17:39suffering for Palestinian citizens under the scorching
00:17:42sun and the stopping of vehicles and the disembarkation
00:17:46of some vehicle owners under the pretext that they did not
00:17:49stop far enough from the checkpoint, despite the fact that there are three
00:17:52or four lanes for vehicles. I mean,
00:17:55even what can be seen, I
00:17:58took some photos with my mobile phone,
00:18:01I will provide them to you later, but the scene
00:18:05is honestly difficult, the Israeli talk
00:18:08about what was described as
00:18:12their search for a wanted Palestinian, but on the ground,
00:18:16there is a systematic collective punishment policy
00:18:19that affects all Palestinians of all ages, some of whom are going
00:18:23to work, or to the hospital, or to university. All these
00:18:26lives have been completely disrupted, a complete paralysis on the roads,
00:18:30the closing of iron gates erected at the entrances of villages
00:18:33or towns, so that no one can go to a village,
00:18:37meaning to enter one of the villages to stay away
00:18:42the streets and roads, but he cannot. He stops in the street
00:18:46completely for several hours without being allowed to pass to any
00:18:50village, even entering
00:18:53to any Palestinian citizen, and staying on the streets. We are not allowed
00:18:57to move forward or even return from where we came.
00:19:01Thank you, colleague Hassan Abu Al-Rub for all these clarifications
00:19:04and details, and we wish you and all our people safety.
00:19:08Our dear viewers, we draw your attention to this
00:19:11breaking news, which states that a young man was martyred by occupation bullets
00:19:15and his body was seized near Haddad Tourist
00:19:19Village, east of Jenin city. We will certainly
00:19:22be with our correspondent Amna Bilala
00:19:26shortly, but I will turn to my guest in the studio,
00:19:30Anas Abu Arqoub, editor of Israeli affairs at Palestine
00:19:33TV. We had talked about Netanyahu's decision
00:19:37to support more Israeli
00:19:40forces in the West Bank governorates. So, in your opinion,
00:19:46decision linked to Netanyahu's calculations
00:19:49within the ruling coalition
00:19:53and the pressures he faces from the Israeli right?
00:19:56I mean, everything that Benjamin Netanyahu and this government do
00:20:00aligns ideologically with his desires and
00:20:03his ideological goals, which are based
00:20:07on ending the Palestinian presence in the West Bank and Gaza
00:20:10Strip, and ending the Palestinian presence within historical
00:20:13Palestine.
00:20:16However, this is currently
00:20:18being intensified
00:20:21and more forces are being deployed across
00:20:25the West Bank, and the deployment of the occupation
00:20:29army is being strengthened across the geography of the West
00:20:32Bank.
00:20:34All of this is to serve preconceived
00:20:37goals that
00:20:40aim to reduce the size
00:20:45in areas classified as A, B,
00:20:48and C, to strengthen
00:20:51settlement expansion.
00:20:54A statement was issued a short while ago by the so-called
00:20:58Central Commander, Avi
00:21:01Bluth, who actually studied in the Yitzhar
00:21:05settlement in one of the religious schools known for
00:21:08instilling extremist ideas in the minds
00:21:11of its students. He pledged to continue
00:21:15what he called the West Bank
00:21:18and to intensify arrest operations
00:21:21and raids, and what he calls providing
00:21:25protection for settlers in
00:21:28the entire West Bank. A short while ago,
00:21:32a statement was also
00:21:34issued by
00:21:37saying that they arrested
00:21:40a young man who claimed to have carried out
00:21:44a shooting near Ramallah, which
00:21:48resulted in Mustafa's
00:21:50death. Despite all that, the inflammatory
00:21:53statements and instructions
00:21:56continue, which are the most dangerous,
00:21:59issued by the political and military levels
00:22:03in Israel. Thank you,
00:22:06Anas Abu Arqoub, editor
00:22:10of Israeli Affairs at Palestine TV, for all this information
00:22:13you provided us with. So,
00:22:16our dear viewers, we continue
00:22:20with you in this live coverage,
00:22:23and we talk about or watch these
00:22:26images that appear on Palestine
00:22:30TV of the occupation forces raiding
00:22:33the ATC Clinic hospital in Al-Masaif neighborhood in Ramallah
00:22:37city at this time. As we mentioned, it is a continuous
00:22:40raid campaign that affects various
00:22:43areas, towns, and cities
00:22:46of the West Bank. And also here,
00:22:50there is talk of a martyr in Jenin
00:22:53city, specifically in Haddad Tourist
00:22:56Village, and the seizure of his body, in addition
00:23:00to the tightening of military measures in various
00:23:04areas of the governorate. And also,
00:23:07we are talking about a suffocating traffic
00:23:10jam that is currently affecting all
00:23:14military checkpoints in Ramallah and Al-Bireh
00:23:20citizens from entering and exiting until this
00:23:24moment. This led
00:23:26to a suffocating traffic jam
00:23:29and the piling up of hundreds, even thousands,
00:23:33in this hot weather, where
00:23:37our people are certainly suffering from these difficult
00:23:41conditions in light of the occupation's tightening of its military
00:23:44measures in various governorates
00:23:47of the country.
00:23:50Also, dear viewers, we are joined
00:23:53via phone now
00:23:57by colleague Nehro Jumhour, a specialist
00:24:00in Israeli affairs.
00:24:02Nehro, welcome. So, in light of what is happening in
00:24:06the West Bank governorates,
00:24:10in the West Bank in the coming days,
00:24:12in your opinion? Yes, greetings to you, colleague,
00:24:16and to all esteemed listeners and viewers.
00:24:20In fact, the new Zionist project is now being implemented,
00:24:23which concerns the process of decisive action. This is not
00:24:27a spur-of-the-moment reaction, it is a state
00:24:30project, a project that aims to destroy
00:24:32the demographic structure within the West
00:24:36Bank through what we see today at checkpoints
00:24:40not need any pretext to proceed with these escalating projects,
00:24:44or even with the Jewish terrorism that we witness every day.
00:24:47They infiltrate Palestinian villages and cities,
00:24:51causing destruction, and they are now moving from
00:24:54destroying Area C to carrying out acts of aggression
00:24:58in Areas A and B without any accountability
00:25:01or oversight, neither international agreements nor even
00:25:05agreements signed with these groups. This means
00:25:08that Israel now believes that this
00:25:11is the right moment to impose facts on the ground
00:25:14that will lead to two main goals. The first
00:25:18and was previously committed to. It aims to undermine the chances
00:25:21of establishing a Palestinian state, and perhaps Netanyahu, through these settlements
00:25:25and through these terrorist
00:25:29organizations that are spreading throughout the West Bank
00:25:32in its cities and villages, has been able to achieve
00:25:36this goal. And now the second point
00:25:41through Netanyahu's partner in government, Smotrich, the author of the decisive
00:25:45plan that he published in 2017,
00:25:48which calls for the liquidation of the Palestinian
00:25:51presence and states that the Palestinian presence will only be a demographic
00:25:54process without any national aspirations. This
00:25:57is part of the Nakba process that the occupation state
00:26:00is managing against the Palestinian people, a process
00:26:04that is old and new, and its pace is increasing
00:26:07today. But practically, this is one of the stages that
00:26:11our people have experienced and lived through, whether since the Nakba and before
00:26:14it, or even today, and what will follow
00:26:18in terms of escalating measures against the Palestinian
00:26:21people. All these developments. Are we
00:26:24facing a new Israeli approach to dealing with the West
00:26:28Bank? As I told you in my explanation,
00:26:33the current formula is the formula that Israel is completing.
00:26:36Israel does not conduct its policies on the ground as a reaction, but rather conducts
00:26:40the process with a complete and integrated
00:26:43plan, primarily to liquidate the Palestinian
00:26:46presence, to liquidate the Palestinian cause,
00:26:49to liquidate the Palestinian political project, and they want
00:26:53the relationship between the Palestinian citizen and the land
00:26:57to be a residential relationship, meaning that he only takes
00:27:00residential rights without any national aspirations.
00:27:04And this is the plan or the first item in Smotrich's
00:27:08When he stated that the Palestinian people must renounce
00:27:11their national aspirations, meaning they must acknowledge that this is the land of
00:27:15Israel and that this is the state of the Jewish people, according to the Israeli concept,
00:27:18this is the applied formula, and therefore it is not a reaction
00:27:22as much as it is a complete and integrated plan. If we listen to
00:27:26Smotrich, for example, when he talks about an issue or
00:27:29his upcoming electoral project, if he were re-elected,
00:27:32we are practically talking about the project of Judaizing the Galilee,
00:27:36similar to the Judaization of the West Bank. This is a complete
00:27:39project that views the Palestinian, wherever they are, whether in
00:27:43Gaza, where they are now, meaning, molten lead is raining down on their heads
00:27:47and massacres are occurring, or even in the West Bank, all the way to the Palestinians
00:27:50inside, whose rights are being eroded by racist laws,
00:27:54and the doors are being opened
00:27:57for their future expulsion, meaning that the Zionist project cannot be
00:28:00completed as long as there is a Palestinian.
00:28:03As long as the Palestinian is steadfast in his land, as long as they exist, even in any form,
00:28:07and that is why we see that these Israeli
00:28:10aggressions and the dangerous escalation are,
00:28:14meaning, an unprecedented escalation
00:28:17ground, taking advantage, of course, of the complicity
00:28:20of the international system and the collapse of regional states.
00:28:24I mean, all conditions now allow Israel to
00:28:27to further advance its expansionist and settlement project.
00:28:30I mean,
00:28:32also all these aggressions and developments in the West Bank
00:28:37Jewish holidays. How do you
00:28:40interpret the occupation army and settler gangs'
00:28:43exploitation of Jewish holidays to escalate their attacks
00:28:47and violations in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem?
00:28:49Also, one of the most prominent of these exploitations is what is said by
00:28:53the Israeli Minister of Defense, the so-called Minister of National Security,
00:28:57Itamar Ben Gvir, who calls on
00:29:00the Supreme Court to open the doors of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Saturday
00:29:04for Jewish incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque.
00:29:07We also notice that through
00:29:10the past days, the increasing
00:29:13and escalating incursions, and also
00:29:16the Israelization, which is in itself a meaning that the electoral situation now
00:29:19allows for an escalation language, not just the holiday situation.
00:29:23These scenes inside Israeli circles, inside Israeli
00:29:26studios, before October 7th, this was
00:29:30one of the basic materials because
00:29:36they are the cause of these events due to
00:29:39the continuous incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque before
00:29:43October 7th and also
00:29:46what happened to the prisoners at that time in many cases.
00:29:49Now, Ben-Gvir is re-producing the same tools
00:29:52and paving the way for escalation once again.
00:29:55The most dangerous, according to Israeli reports, we are not talking about settler
00:29:58reports, but rather official reports and official studies.
00:30:02They say that violence
00:30:06the West Bank may not be
00:30:09due to the economic hardship, nor even
00:30:12due to repeated
00:30:14army raids, as much as it is settler
00:30:17aggressions that have started to transform from
00:30:21marginal groups in the Zionist project to the core
00:30:24and within the decision-making camp
00:30:27in Israel. This is one of the red flags
00:30:31that the Israeli media focuses on, meaning that
00:30:34settlers may, through their actions and their
00:30:38terrorist aggressions, lead to a state
00:30:41of escalation and intifada in the West Bank,
00:30:44the dominant and prevailing right-wing rhetoric
00:30:48against all the Palestinian people, which is represented by Netanyahu,
00:30:51Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and among these is the exploitation
00:30:54of holidays to practically obliterate the Palestinian people, to eliminate
00:30:58the Palestinian people. And these are phrases that have become
00:31:01present and widely circulated within
00:31:04the Israeli media. There is a plan to uproot the Palestinian
00:31:07people. This plan is not recent and is not a reaction
00:31:11or linked to a specific event, but rather a continuous
00:31:15chain of events that Zionism has led since
00:31:18the first Zionist migration in 1882, leading
00:31:25moving towards achieving this plan, which is the ultimate goal
00:31:29for the occupation state. Yes, colleague Nahar
00:31:32Juma, specialist in Israeli affairs, you were with us via phone. Thank
00:31:36you for all these clarifications and details. And our dear
00:31:39viewers, we continue with this coverage. And now we move
00:31:42via phone to Jihad Yassin, correspondent
00:31:46for traffic conditions. Jihad, please update us on the situation
00:31:50at the military checkpoints amidst tightened
00:31:53military measures at all entrances
00:31:57and exits of Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorates, and how these
00:32:00closures have affected the movement of citizens. Greetings
00:32:03to you, Marah, and to all followers and viewers. Yes,
00:32:07generally, for more than four hours, the occupation forces

00:34:19closed, in addition to
00:34:22the presence of settler mobs on the external roads
00:34:25and between governorates. And there are calls from the
00:34:29settlers to go out and attack villages
00:34:31and Arab citizens in general. Please exercise caution
00:34:35and do not travel currently due to the closure of all roads
00:34:39and checkpoints. Thank you, Jihad Yassin, traffic conditions
00:34:42correspondent, for all these clarifications and details. And now
00:34:45we move to Jenin and our correspondent Amna Bilal. Amna,
00:34:48welcome back to us. The martyrdom
00:34:52of a young man by Israeli occupation forces' bullets and the retention of his body in
00:34:56Haddad village east of Jenin city.
00:34:59Details of the young man's martyrdom and what the situation looks like now in
00:35:04Yes, back to you
00:35:09again, my colleague Marah. Just now,
00:35:11the General Authority for Civil Affairs announced the martyrdom
00:35:15of the young man Sami Hassan Zawaideh, who is
00:35:1832 years old and resides in Jenin
00:35:22refugee camp and is displaced from inside the camp. The young man,
00:35:25returning to the course of events, was
00:35:28wounded by bullets from the Israeli occupation army an
00:35:32hour ago when he arrived with one
00:35:35of his friends at the Haddad
00:35:39tourist village, located east of Jenin governorate. They were surprised
00:35:42by the presence of a checkpoint belonging to the Israeli
00:35:46occupation army, which had been set up
00:35:50earlier. Immediately, the Israeli occupation army
00:35:53began firing heavily and without prior
00:35:56warning. The army started shooting
