00:00:43Palestinians and enjoys their hobby of pressuring the movement of Palestinians and increased settler attacks, in parallel with the expansion of
00:00:45settlement activities and the confiscation of more lands. In
00:00:50being prosecuted legally in contrast to this scene,
00:00:55from the Galilee, we have become accustomed European countries are moving towards imposing sanctions on settlers and restricting dealings with settlement products, while
00:00:59Israel approaches an electoral deadline that places

00:01:28we discuss in today's file. Welcome, dear
00:01:32their position in the viewers, and I also welcome my guest who joins me via
00:01:35Zoom, Legal Advisor at the Wall and
00:01:39Settlement
00:01:47annexation, and restriction on its own. Therefore, this their position in Bank, and the Palestinian Resistance Commission, Mr. Ayed Maarar. Mr. Ayed, if we start from the has become a small field reality, away from political descriptions, what
00:01:50has changed on the ground in the West Bank,
00:01:53specifically after October 7,
00:01:57believe in the existence in light of the settler in the existence of a Palestinian encroachment and settler
00:02:00rampage, and the Tel Aviv government's
00:02:03unleashing its army on
00:02:07but there are no spare parts the ground? My dear sister, good evening to all the esteemed
00:02:11viewers. If we talk about settlement, you
00:02:15know that this settlement began since
00:02:18and at the beginning of the occupation, and it was not limited to one government over another, but all
00:02:21Israeli governments contributed to this settlement. However, this
00:02:28the Nazis in eight months of this settlement always accelerates or slows down depending on the objective conditions. Now,
00:02:31after October 7, or after the war of annihilation on the Gaza Strip,
00:02:35we began to notice an acceleration in this settlement
00:02:39and a deepening of this
00:02:40historical Palestine, from
00:02:42and attacks should not project through a very extreme
00:02:45of Israeli industry government, as well as a sick international situation and an unprecedented
00:02:49American bias towards this government. However, there are
00:02:52new curves that have begun to appear on
00:02:56is a very important step the scene in the matter of settlement
00:02:58and are represented in the pastoral outposts, these
00:03:03lead to, if not open, hostile outposts that contain
00:03:06extremist
00:03:09it can force the occupying settlers, people who are
00:03:12organized, trained,
00:03:14roads. They do and funded to attack
00:03:17from Palestinians and try
00:03:17for a paid to empty the classified Area C first of
00:03:21its residents through these attacks
00:03:23so that we do not get caught and through these crimes that
00:03:25they commit day and night against all
00:03:29Palestinians. And against all
00:03:36plan. Israel now does of settlement. their sources of livelihood and all aspects of their lives. Livestock is stolen, trees are uprooted,
00:03:40attacks on
00:03:43to his peers in from the Israeli lives, on buildings.
00:03:49and working on the a complex political The percentage of destroyed buildings has increased, confiscation of land has increased. All these matters
00:03:53are accelerating at
00:03:57this time because those who hold
00:04:00the political reins in the occupying
00:04:02the Palestinian citizen in supporting state are settlers who did not
00:04:04are represented in settler
00:04:05and continuing their aggression, dream of reaching
00:04:07attacking homes, power. They do not measure or do not measure things by political standards, but
00:04:11by
00:04:11pillars said
00:04:12of cities. In ideological standards. They evoke
00:04:15a dark history of
00:04:18Therefore, it is required from deepening, used in this they imagine that
00:04:20we are the heirs of the Amalekites,
00:04:24and surrender. And whoever surprising when we and if they want to deal with these Amalekites, they must do
00:04:27as Joshua son of Nun did to them when he entered Palestine:
00:04:31he killed their children, men, and women, and he killed
00:04:36communities located in their livestock and uprooted their trees, and destroyed their homes and plowed their land
00:04:40and sowed it with salt. This
00:04:42is the ideological dimension that
00:04:46they are trying to apply to this
00:04:50court decisions. There are many land through these colonial outposts that Ibn Kathir described
00:04:53as armed
00:04:56Gaza and finishes with factions. to do with what happened He says that
00:05:00there are a thousand armed factions moving in
00:05:02the West Bank, boasting that he created them in the
00:05:06West, and by that he describes
00:05:10lines. In the settler gangs that were placed in
00:05:17roles between settler groups
00:05:20and the occupation forces, but today
00:05:24the scene or the picture was completely different today.
00:05:27The city of Ramallah turned into a large prison.
00:05:30Tens of thousands of citizens spent hours of
00:05:34their lives at these military checkpoints. In your opinion,
00:05:37are these measures and the occupation's claim that they are
00:05:41security measures actual, or have they become a permanent
00:05:45reality?
00:05:47Yes, my dear brother, they exploit any event in order to
00:05:51practice
00:05:53Palestinians. They have not tried any solution to solve
00:05:57the security problem they suffer from or the political
00:06:00problem they suffer from, and
00:06:04what emerges from their minds is only security solutions
00:06:07because of their feeling that
00:06:11they have a military machine that is large
00:06:15and powerful. If they are given the opportunity
00:06:18to use it,
00:06:21the Palestinian people. This is what
00:06:24try any other solution, and this
00:06:27security solution
00:06:30they excel in its details. There are more
00:06:35the West Bank to separate
00:06:38population centers from each other. They can within an
00:06:42hour prevent Palestinians from moving
00:06:45from one village to another, and not
00:06:48just from the village to their main city.
00:06:52You know, my dear brother, that
00:06:54most Palestinians
00:06:57are village dwellers
00:07:00who are connected to their main city
00:07:03through their interests,
00:07:06their work, their hospitals, their schools, their universities
00:07:10in these cities, and they go to them and cannot
00:07:14do without these cities. Therefore, their
00:07:16movement is no longer smooth because of these
00:07:20gates that open and close
00:07:23by military order through a soldier who may not be of a high
00:07:27rank or high responsibility, but
00:07:30rather at whim. Even settlers or these pastoral settlers
00:07:34have also begun to interfere in closing these
00:07:37gates or that. Therefore, yes,
00:07:41and things they
00:07:45amuse themselves with and bring them up
00:07:47in order to even if there is no goal
00:07:51but to tighten the noose on the Palestinian, to make him
00:07:54feel that he is
00:07:57a despised being or a being
00:08:01that is not important and can be insulted by any
00:08:04party or any occupier,
00:08:07whether a settler or a soldier,
00:08:10or anything. They can insult him, they can
00:08:14humiliate him, they can tighten the noose on him in
00:08:17order to make him feel that he has no future on
00:08:20this land, and they declare this intention
00:08:23and write it on signs on the main
00:08:27not shy away from it, and they
00:08:30say that their goal
00:08:32and they justify this goal by saying
00:08:35that their ultimate goal is to expel Palestinians
00:08:38from their land
00:08:40and to empty this land and make
00:08:43it available for a purely Jewish
00:08:46state for Jews brought from all
00:08:49over the world, on the ruins of a people being
00:08:52displaced by military force and by these
00:08:55crimes that they commit, Mr.
00:08:58Ayed. The matter has begun
00:09:01to take another turn. Today, we see settler
00:09:04groups running rampant,
00:09:07storming not only areas classified as C or J
00:09:10under the Oslo Accords, but also entering
00:09:14Palestinian villages
00:09:19stealing property, stealing sheep, leading
00:09:22to the storming the past
00:09:26two days, dozens of settlers reached Al-Tira neighborhood
00:09:29in the heart of Ramallah city.
00:09:33Yes, as you know, my
00:09:36dear brother, the ultimate goal, as
00:09:39we said, is to empty Palestine of its inhabitants, but
00:09:42through stages. Now, they have begun with Palestinian
00:09:48Area C, and more than 100 communities have been displaced,
00:09:52whether partial or complete displacement.
00:09:55You know that in Area C, there are more than 30,000
00:09:59Palestinians living in
00:10:02communities that the occupation state does not recognize
00:10:05and does not allow them to establish infrastructure
00:10:08or allow them to establish services or obtain
00:10:12the necessary services to develop their
00:10:16urban lives. Therefore, it confines them to
00:10:20primitive communities, but their connection to their lands
00:10:23through their farming,
00:10:27on livestock, but even these communities
00:10:31have begun to be tightened and attacked
00:10:34to force them to leave
00:10:38Area C, and indeed,
00:10:41as we said, more than 100 Palestinian
00:10:44communities have been displaced from these communities in Area
00:10:48C. Now the issue is taking another
00:10:51dimension or another level through attacks on population
00:10:55centers in Area B in order to
00:10:58force Palestinians to encircle
00:11:01and fence their villages to protect them from
00:11:04settler attacks, hoping that
00:11:08the fence will turn from being around the settlement
00:11:12that we are used to being a residential hotel for the settler
00:11:15connected to the occupation state
00:11:19through bypass roads like a secret love
00:11:23surrounded by security measures, and
00:11:27has no connection or interaction with the vital
00:11:30space in the West Bank, the wilderness of the West Bank
00:11:34which is private property for Palestinians, with their
00:11:37farms and their pastures and their tourism.
00:11:40Classical
00:11:41settlement,
00:11:45let's say, was
00:11:48represented in these settlements. Now, things are
00:11:51changing. They are trying through settler attacks
00:11:55to force Palestinians to fence their villages to protect
00:11:59them from their attacks so that the picture
00:12:02changes, and the settlements open up to the wilderness of the West
00:12:06villages are closed off, so that the Palestinian
00:12:09villages become like residential
00:12:12hotels
00:12:14connected to their main city through
00:12:18special roads. This is the final plan or the
00:12:21long-term plan, and it may not be the final stage.
00:12:25Because, as we said, the stage is to empty Palestine of
00:12:28its inhabitants. You know, my dear brother, what they did in the Gaza Strip
00:12:32to expel Palestinians. All these crimes, in plain
00:12:36sight of the world, are to displace Palestinians and empty
00:12:39their land to make it available only to Jews brought from all over
00:12:43the world. Reports indicate more than 1600
00:12:47attacks in the first
00:12:50year carried out by settlers in the West
00:12:55Bank. What do these numbers mean, and how do you
00:12:58describe these attacks, and where
00:13:00were they concentrated? These
00:13:06be removed from their
00:13:08basic context, which is
00:13:11they are trying to portray these
00:13:15settlement communities and settlement outposts as
00:13:18volunteers, extremists who are carrying
00:13:22out self-initiated actions here and there.
00:13:25They may sometimes violate the law, but
00:13:29they are not separate from this
00:13:32governmental system. In reality, they are
00:13:36organized, trained, and official groups
00:13:39carrying out official tasks
00:13:42fee to attack Palestinians.
00:13:46The outpost or settlement community that does not carry out these
00:13:50attacks and does not carry out this task is dispensed with,
00:13:52and therefore it is a part, a link in the chain
00:13:58These colonial outposts are no
00:14:02different from the crimes of the Israeli army
00:14:05or the actions of the Civil Administration in confiscating
00:14:08land and issuing demolition orders, evictions, and
00:14:12removals. All
00:14:16these official Israeli measures issued through
00:14:19the Civil Administration have a
00:14:22new complement. These
00:14:26measures
00:14:29attacks, but we must not separate
00:14:32this from that. They are all in one crucible
00:14:36and links in one chain, and scattered cogs in
00:14:39one machine with the same goal and
00:14:43the same tasks. Therefore, this is not
00:14:48say that there are thousands of attacks. The number
00:14:51may be one thing at the beginning of the
00:14:55report and something else at the end, because the attacks
00:14:58are constant and continuous throughout the West Bank,
00:15:02from one end to the other. Yes, yes.
00:15:05Well, can the checkpoint be separated from the settlement, and the settlement
00:15:09from the bypass road, and the road from land confiscation, or
00:15:13do all these elements form
00:15:17an integrated system? Yes,
00:15:20settlement in general, no matter
00:15:24its form, whether it is tourist, residential,
00:15:27industrial, infrastructure
00:15:29projects, all components
00:15:33of settlement aim at two basic
00:15:35goals. The first is to tighten the noose on Palestinians
00:15:39and prevent them from living their normal lives and from smooth
00:15:43communication between Palestinian population centers.
00:15:47The other goal is to entice the settler to
00:15:50come and live on the lands of the West Bank through
00:15:53many facilities
00:16:03and apartment prices there.
00:16:08There is no comparison between apartment prices in
00:16:11settlements and their prices within the occupation
00:16:15state. They put them, as you know, on
00:16:19the tops of the hills of the West Bank, with refreshing
00:16:22air and beautiful scenery, protected
00:16:25by a highly precise security
00:16:28system to make them feel
00:16:31safe, and at very low
00:16:34and cheap prices. However, the
00:16:38basic goal is that they cannot
00:16:41build a road or even a park
00:16:44for children unless it serves
00:16:48these two goals: the first
00:16:53Palestinians and
00:16:55dismantle the geographical system of Palestinians
00:16:59and isolate
00:17:02and put Palestinians in enclaves and ghettos. We used
00:17:06to talk about major enclaves
00:17:09dividing the West Bank into north, center,
00:17:13and south. Now, even the divided is divided,
00:17:16meaning every village has become an enclave
00:17:21section, Mr. Ayed, is the
00:17:24most dangerous one that will cut off geographical communication between
00:17:28the north of the West Bank and its south, and will isolate the city
00:17:31of Jerusalem and expand beyond it. Yes,
00:17:34certainly, this settlement project is more dangerous
00:17:38as it divides the West Bank demographically.
00:17:41It involves building settlements
00:17:45and building infrastructure: roads, tunnels,
00:17:48fast trains. After
00:17:51the completion of this project, there will be
00:17:55only a few kilometers left to formally
00:17:57and demographically separate the West Bank,
00:18:01linking it to Ma'ale Adumim or these new
00:18:04settlements with the Dead Sea. Thus,
00:18:07it will close or permanently
00:18:10separate the southern West Bank from its center
00:18:13and north, and it is indeed the most
00:18:16dangerous,
00:18:19it may not be an old project
00:18:23that is always being updated and talked about constantly.
00:18:27However, there is
00:18:30international pressure
00:18:33that stopped for a period due to American pressure. Now,
00:18:36it is as if the Americans have given them the green light,
00:18:40but Europe's position remains firm on this issue,
00:18:44and it is pushing to prevent the establishment
00:18:47of this project, and it truly tries
00:18:51to kill the Palestinian dream of building an independent
00:18:54state with interconnected parts free of
00:18:57settlements, as imposed by international laws
00:19:01and international legal rules that allow
00:19:04us to establish our self-determination on this
00:19:08land as a people who are not
00:19:11superfluous, but we have unfulfilled
00:19:14rights, and therefore we must take them as
00:19:18stipulated by all. There are more than 80 Security
00:19:21Council resolutions that state rights. There are more
00:19:25than 200 General Assembly resolutions. Yes.
00:19:28Which Israel has not complied with or recognized,
00:19:32despite its passage in the Security Council with 14 states
00:19:35voting in favor and the United States
00:19:37abstaining. Well, Mr. Ayed, the timing of issuing
00:19:40tenders for construction in settlements,
00:19:44specifically E1, two days before the Israeli
00:19:47elections, does it have a legal
00:19:51significance, or does it carry a political
00:19:54significance primarily?
00:19:57We notice, my dear brother, a fundamental
00:20:01change in the official occupation system.
00:20:04Even now,
00:20:07security forces say, even
00:20:11in a normal way,
00:20:13and the ordinary person at the checkpoint says,
00:20:16"We are implementing government decisions."
00:20:19They no longer apply laws, meaning
00:20:22they follow government decisions and do not follow
00:20:27Supreme Court decisions, such as removing
00:20:30settlers from Kissra, and the security
00:20:34agencies are unable or refuse
00:20:37to implement these decisions. This government
00:20:41is a very extreme government,
00:20:44racing against time. It feels as if it
00:20:48will not
00:20:50continue in power, and therefore it is exploiting
00:20:54time and exploiting the budgets
00:20:57it extorted from the Israeli government and snatched,
00:21:00and it wants to spend them before the government
00:21:04changes. Therefore, yes,
00:21:07there is a marriage between the settlement mentality
00:21:10in the Israeli psyche
00:21:13and exploiting time
00:21:16time and racing against each other. There are many
00:21:20institutions that are right-wing
00:21:25the right-wing audience that
00:21:28enjoys punishing
00:21:33committing crimes against them, and
00:21:36it is an extremist society.
00:21:39If the extremists
00:21:42want to gain their votes, they must commit crimes against Palestinians
00:21:46in order to get these votes, and they do so in order
00:21:50to get the votes of the far right, which
00:21:52the entire occupying state has drifted
00:21:58the recent period. So, Mr. Ayed, the last question, briefly, please:
00:22:03the international mood in light of the escalating attacks
00:22:06and terrorism of settlers, and there are European
00:22:09countries that have taken concrete steps to boycott settlement
00:22:13products and impose sanctions on them. The importance
00:22:15of these decisions
00:22:17and these positions.
00:22:20Yes, the occupying state, my dear brother, like
00:22:23any state, cannot live in isolation from the international
00:22:27community. All states need international
00:22:30relations for the economy, education, everything
00:22:33is linked. The world
00:22:37village, and therefore it cannot do without this world,
00:22:40and therefore international pressure is very
00:22:43important. It can make a difference.
00:22:47We saw how it was able to stop
00:22:50the racist regime in South Africa through international pressure. These
00:22:53steps may not be enough at
00:22:56this time, but pointing the compass in this direction
00:23:00and starting this journey is very
00:23:02important. We know, my dear brother,
00:23:05that the occupying state has long
00:23:08moved its sensitive factories
00:23:11that produce chemical
00:23:15materials, such as heavy
00:23:17industries and chemical
00:23:20industries, to the West Bank for two reasons:
00:23:23first, cheap labor, and
00:23:27also to keep the Israeli environment
00:23:30away from factory pollutants. Therefore, the backbone
00:23:35has become in the settlements, and when
00:23:39or boycotting settlement industries
00:23:42and products, this
00:23:46that puts pressure on the economic lifeline of
00:23:50the occupation state, and it can
00:23:53now, then in the medium
00:23:56or long term,
00:23:59state to stop its aggression and give the Palestinian
00:24:02people their rights. Legal Advisor
00:24:06of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Mr. Ayed Maarar,
00:24:09thank you very much. Our dear
00:24:13viewers, we continue our episode of the
00:24:16"Today's File" program. In the second
00:24:20file, we will discuss the directions and form of the Israeli
00:24:24government with the start of the frantic
00:24:28election race, and we are 38 days away
00:24:32elections amid
00:24:37scene. I welcome my esteemed
00:24:40guest who joins me via Zoom, Professor
00:24:44Omar Al-Ghoul. Good evening. Good
00:24:47evening. So, if the field scene
00:24:50reflects a rapid change in the nature
00:24:54of control over the land and the movement of Palestinians,
00:24:56then to what
00:24:59extent has the Israeli political
00:25:03scene now made these policies a part
00:25:06of it? How do you read this blurry
00:25:10picture given the current
00:25:13situation? Once again, good evening, Faleh. Good evening to
00:25:17you and the esteemed viewers. First,
00:25:21there is no ambiguity in the Israeli
00:25:24scene. Yes, the Israeli
00:25:27scene is as clear as
00:25:29daylight. Israel, with its ruling Nazi
00:25:33coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu,
00:25:36is clear,
00:25:38and it has no ambiguity or confusion
00:25:42in any position it has taken.
00:25:45Firstly, it rejects the existence of any
00:25:49entity. We are not talking about the current
00:25:53government, about the complexities of the Israeli scene and the ambiguity
00:25:56and what the election results will bring, Professor
00:25:59Abu Nader, my friend and
00:26:03my dear Faleh. I am talking
00:26:05about the current Israeli scene.
00:26:08Yes, and the subsequent Israeli scene
00:26:11will come. Will the Israeli scene
00:26:14be the same as it is now,
00:26:17or will there be
00:26:21a change? I tell
00:26:24you, necessarily, according to the data
00:26:28and according to the successive Israeli public
00:26:30opinion polls, there will
00:26:34be a change in the Israeli scene. That is why
00:26:37the current Prime Minister and his coalition
00:26:41are racing against time to
00:26:45do everything possible and to invent
00:26:48all the methods, tricks,
00:26:51and lies that
00:26:55to in election campaigns
00:26:57and non-election campaigns throughout
00:27:01the years that Benjamin Netanyahu led
00:27:04Israeli governments. He always
00:27:06excelled in devising
00:27:12the opposition and the Israeli street. Yes,
00:27:15but this time, I think he
00:27:18has lost much of his luster and
00:27:22his abilities and the cards
00:27:28the Israeli street. Therefore, the Israeli
00:27:31scene later, according
00:27:35to my humble estimation, will witness
00:27:38a change in the scene, and there
00:27:41will be a relatively different government,
00:27:44but the general characteristic of
00:27:47Israeli institutions, especially the official
00:27:51ones, is that they have not
00:27:54yet come to believe
00:27:57state. They do not of a Palestinian state,
00:28:01giving up Jerusalem, the Palestinian capital,
00:28:04East Jerusalem, according to the standards
00:28:07of the two-state solution on the borders of
00:28:10June 4, 1967. And also,
00:28:13it is hostile to the Palestinian
00:28:16Arab people. Will there be
00:28:19relative breakthroughs? There might be
00:28:23if the government changes, there will
00:28:26necessarily be relative changes,
00:28:29but not a strategic
00:28:32change. In other words, there is no
00:28:36movement, even at the moment we are talking
00:28:40about, and in the next moment, if the elections
00:28:43are held after October 27,
00:28:46which is 38 days away, as be
00:28:50Here, will this coming
00:28:53government
00:28:55accept partnership in crafting the peace process? I
00:28:59think it's difficult to predict. Yes, or
00:29:03to foresee that the government
00:29:05will be a partner in building
00:29:09peace according to international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution. Yes,
00:29:13to simplify the picture
00:29:15for the viewer, what are the expected scenarios
00:29:19the Israeli elections? Will Benjamin
00:29:22Netanyahu return to power? Will we continue to see Ben-Gvir,
00:29:26Smotrich, and the extremist bloc sitting at
00:29:29the table of the Israeli government? This is the current
00:29:33question.
00:29:35The current question, yes, this is one of the
00:29:38standing questions. Benjamin
00:29:41Netanyahu, so far, is holding on
00:29:46the ruling coalition because they are,
00:29:50يعني, his tool that achieves
00:29:53his personal goals and his
00:29:56strategic goals related to the Zionist project.
00:30:00Therefore, he is clinging to them, but, opening the bracket,
00:30:03he, when he said that
00:30:07he would go and work to form a broad government
00:30:10and he didn't even say a national unity government
00:30:14as it is usually
00:30:17direction, and the broad
00:30:19government carries within it,
00:30:22according to some Israeli experts, that
00:30:26Benjamin Netanyahu might
00:30:29abandon Itamar Ben
00:30:32Gvir,
00:30:35even though he gets, according to opinion polls,
00:30:38from 8 to 10 votes, meaning
00:30:41it varies from one poll to another.
00:30:45He, Otzma, the leader of Otzma
00:30:48Yehudit, meaning the Jewish Power, gets
00:30:51this percentage, and this percentage is not small
00:30:53by the standards of the Israeli arena
00:30:57and the election results. Nevertheless, Benjamin Netanyahu,
00:31:00if he finds a way
00:31:03to stay in power, especially since if he leaves
00:31:06power, you know and I know
00:31:09and everyone knows that he will pay heavy
00:31:13prices, in addition to his exit from the circle
00:31:16of power.
00:31:19to go to court
00:31:20for the four
00:31:23cases against him, as well as the October
00:31:277th file and his accountability
00:31:29for what happened, especially since he bears
00:31:32the primary responsibility in this regard, and also for
00:31:36the judicial coup that lasted 40
00:31:39weeks during the first period
00:31:43of his term in government. The sixth. Yes,
00:31:47meaning that which lasted until October 7,
00:31:512023. Yes, and therefore the Israeli
00:31:54scene, is there also in another question,
00:31:58is the opposition still
00:32:00united and in agreement
00:32:03on one vision? The truth is, and this is what
00:32:07Eizenkot announced, yes, a few days ago,
00:32:10that there are differences and disagreements with his peers
00:32:17the prime minister, the prime minister personally,
00:32:20and his continuation in his term for the four years
00:32:24following the elections. So
00:32:27far, there are differing
00:32:30views and no agreement,
00:32:33rather the opposite. There was divergence between
00:32:37them in the statements they all made
00:32:40against each other. In other words,
00:32:44the Israeli scene may contain all
00:32:48the scenarios that we expect and those
00:32:51we do not expect, outside the box. Therefore,
00:32:55we are facing an open scene, and you cannot
00:32:58confirm what the situation
00:33:01will be, also because opinion polls
00:33:04confirm that there is a convergence between
00:33:08the ruling bloc
00:33:11and the opposition bloc. The opposition and the largest
00:33:15share and the primary swing vote
00:33:18will be in the hands of the Arab MPs, our Arab
00:33:21brethren in the Joint List and the United List.
00:33:25Therefore, they will play a vital role in tipping
00:33:28the scales for the Prime Minister who
00:33:32will lead the next government.
00:33:36To the question of the importance of Arab voters' participation
00:33:39in voting to overthrow Benjamin Netanyahu's
00:33:43government, his ruling coalition, and his poles
00:33:45and
00:33:48those who formed the government with him, whether Smotrich, Ben Gvir, or
00:33:51the extremists. Sir, every
00:33:54Palestinian Arab
00:33:57vote for the Joint
00:34:01List, the Joint List specifically, first, yes,
00:34:04and even for the United List,
00:34:07I believe it contributes
00:34:10to isolating Benjamin Netanyahu
00:34:14and strengthens the position of Arab MPs, specifically
00:34:17the Joint List, and I am biased towards the Joint List
00:34:20without any hesitation and without any reservation.
00:34:24Therefore, it will strengthen the position of Arab
00:34:27MPs in their role within
00:34:31the Knesset in defending national interests
00:34:35and the demands
00:34:37of our Palestinian people, as well as
00:34:41averting dangers, as mentioned by
00:34:45Arab MPs from Youssef Jabareen to Ahmed Tibi
00:34:48to Sami Abu Shahadeh
00:34:52or Sam Shahadeh, that this
00:34:55Palestinian national
00:34:59choice within the 48 territories,
00:35:03and also in the West Bank and Gaza, including
00:35:06Jerusalem, the capital, in other words,
00:35:10there
00:35:12is great reliance on the role of
00:35:17this orientation to defend the personal
00:35:20and national identity
00:35:23and the common interests of all Palestinians, and even
00:35:26Israeli democracy, in brackets,
00:35:29that currently exists.
00:35:33all our Palestinian brethren in the Galilee,
00:35:36the Triangle, the Negev, and the mixed
00:35:39cities to go in large
00:35:42numbers to vote for, yes, the Joint
00:35:46List. Mr. Omar, don't you think these elections are a great
00:35:49opportunity for the Arab community inside
00:35:52Israel, and that the danger has begun to approach
00:35:56them, specifically what we saw in Majd al-Krum
00:35:59of an attempt to seize land
00:36:03and build settlements, establishing settlement outposts
00:36:06there, meaning that after Israel finishes with
00:36:11the West Bank, the matter will move to within the 48
00:36:17lands. My friend and beloved Faleh,
00:36:21Israel is working in parallel
00:36:25Gaza, extermination. In the
00:36:28that aligns with the demographic and geographic
00:36:31standards currently in place. And in '48
00:36:35as well, it's ongoing and hasn't stopped,
00:36:38but in different forms and methods, according to the reality
00:36:41here. And also, building has been announced not
00:36:45only in Majd al-Krum, but also in the Western
00:36:48Galilee, and in the Negev, and elsewhere. And you know
00:36:52that there is a wide cleansing operation in the Negev,
00:36:56meaning, therefore, this matter has not
00:36:59stopped removed from the
00:37:03Israeli Zionist program,
00:37:06constant, and the Israelis are working
00:37:09diligently and continuously and incessantly
00:37:13and assiduously for cleansing, to achieve the largest
00:37:17ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian Arab people
00:37:22the Triangle, the Negev, the mixed
00:37:26cities, and in the West Bank, and Gaza, and in Jerusalem,
00:37:30places
00:37:32where Palestinians are present. Therefore,
00:37:36this issue must be felt by every
00:37:40Palestinian and they must not
00:37:43forget for a moment that they are a target
00:37:47of the Zionist movement and the successive Israeli
00:37:50governments. They must all unite
00:37:53and strengthen and rally
00:37:56ranks, first, to strengthen
00:38:00Israeli Knesset,
00:38:02second, to protect personal and social
00:38:06and economic and national identity,
00:38:09and to strengthen the Israeli
00:38:13state, not only to defend
00:38:16the interests of the Palestinian Arab people in stopping,
00:38:19in strengthening and entrenching the two-state
00:38:23solution, because their presence and strengthening their presence
00:38:26and their weight in the Knesset positively
00:38:30affects this direction
00:38:32and can impose
00:38:36new political equations
00:38:39that contribute to restoring consideration to the two-state
00:38:43solution least
00:38:46removing the hand of the settlement
00:38:49gangs and war criminals
00:38:53and all
00:38:55the Israeli street.
00:38:58from taking decisions, measures,
00:39:01and violations that affect the future
00:39:04and survival of the Palestinian Arab people on their land.
00:39:08Israeli leaders are competing to present
00:39:11more extreme and radical positions,
00:39:13from Ben-Gvir to Smotrich
00:39:17to Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding the imposition
00:39:20of sanctions, measures, and a policy of collective
00:39:23punishment for what they are doing
00:39:27against the prisoners, and expanding settlements. Don't you think
00:39:30they are using this
00:39:33card as an electoral card to win
00:39:36over the Israeli street?
00:39:39Let's be careful. This
00:39:43government, what Benjamin Netanyahu's
00:39:47government is doing
00:39:49with all its components, is
00:39:52that it is working on two tracks:
00:39:55the track related to the campaign. The election campaign is a temporary
00:39:59one, but we must see
00:40:02clearly the path, that Benjamin
00:40:05Netanyahu's government, since its inception, yes, at
00:40:09the end of 2022, it
00:40:12has been confirming, demanding,
00:40:16ground, yes, just as it is working in Gaza, and just as it is working in the West Bank
00:40:20and Jerusalem, and even in the Galilee, the Triangle,
00:40:23and the Negev, on the option of ethnic
00:40:26cleansing. Smotrich and Ben
00:40:29Netanyahu and Itamar
00:40:32and Israel Katz and others
00:40:36from the government's
00:40:39that Palestinians must accept, whoever
00:40:42wants to stay must accept
00:40:45the fabricated Israeli narrative and accept the Israeli
00:40:49option
00:40:52does not accept must leave, and we are ready to remove
00:40:55them and help them with this. And whoever
00:40:58does not leave and remains, we will deal
00:41:02with them in a way that suits
00:41:05us: arrest, shooting,
00:41:07killing, imposing sanctions
00:41:11on them, as we are living now
00:41:14in a state of
00:41:18unprecedented widespread crimes
00:41:21in the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In other
00:41:25words, the matter is not
00:41:28only dependent on the election campaign,
00:41:30but is strategically
00:41:34linked to the strategic
00:41:37Zionist goal. If you allow me,
00:41:44in addition to its connection to Benjamin
00:41:48Netanyahu's personal interests, because he is obsessed
00:41:52with the chair, with the chair of power, he and his
00:41:55wife are obsessed. Therefore, he is doing everything
00:41:58possible to remain in power, or to
00:42:01avert dangers from himself, because he knows
00:42:05that even though President Herzog
00:42:08opened the door for him and told him, "We are still
00:42:12waiting for your acceptance of the compromise
00:42:14and to exit with minimal losses
00:42:17through, you know, the possibility of pardoning
00:42:21him, an amnesty issued for Benjamin
00:42:24Netanyahu, and reaching a reconciliation, exiting the circle
00:42:27of power and not
00:42:30the courts and not going to the
00:42:33Israeli prison. Therefore,
00:42:35he told him, "Come out with minimal
00:42:39losses and with a clean slate." But Benjamin
00:42:44caliber. He is still maneuvering
00:42:47and doing everything possible
00:42:50government. And if
00:42:53in government, the situation will be
00:42:57very serious for the future of the Palestinian
00:43:00Arab people. I asked if this was a political
00:43:04wave currently preceding the elections, or if it was a strategic
00:43:07path, and you have answered that.
00:43:10Mr. Omar, are the upcoming Israeli
00:43:14elections held only to choose a new
00:43:17government, or are the more extreme forces trying
00:43:21to exploit them to solidify a political and on-the-ground
00:43:24reality that makes settlement,
00:43:27of Palestinians a fait accompli that
00:43:31any future Israeli government will find difficult
00:43:34to reverse? This is what Katz
00:43:36announced. This is what Bezalel Smotrich announced. This
00:43:40is what Itamar announced, and this is what Benjamin
00:43:43Netanyahu announced, saying, "We must work. We must
00:43:47stop talking. We must not talk. We must
00:43:50work. We must commit crimes to establish
00:43:54realities that no other government later
00:43:57can reverse the course and wheel
00:44:01of the Zionist project backward."
00:44:03Therefore, this current Israeli
00:44:06Nazi machine is working to
00:44:10entrench realities
00:44:13that further deepen the Zionist project. They
00:44:16want complete control over
00:44:20the river to the sea, and the establishment of a complete
00:44:24state of Israel as a prelude, yes,
00:44:27to the map that Benjamin Netanyahu raised from
00:44:31the podium of the United Nations last year, and that Bezalel
00:44:35Smotrich previously raised in Paris,
00:44:38of the establishment of Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates.
00:44:42This is not a joke and not
00:44:45an attempt to promote a temporary
00:44:49propaganda product. No, it is an integral
00:44:52part of the Israeli strategic plan.
00:44:56Therefore, we must read the Israeli scene,
00:45:00yes, in this manner,
00:45:03up in details. There are details that
00:45:06we must read as well, but in the
00:45:11deep context of the Israeli strategic
00:45:16not accept any peace, nor
00:45:19even the two-state solution, nor less than the two-state solution,
00:45:22nor even administrative self-rule. Yes.
00:45:25Therefore, Israel is proceeding with its strategic
00:45:29plan. Yes, Mr. Omar
00:45:32Al-Ghoul, writer and political analyst, thank
00:45:35you very much. Dear viewers, we
00:45:38have reached the end of our episode of Today's
00:45:42File. Thank you for your kind follow-up, and may God bless
00:45:46you and protect you. Goodbye.
00:46:25This is to appease the settlers, of course.
00:46:29The army is carrying out an arrest campaign. All
00:46:31the detainees have nothing
00:46:35last week, except that it is an expression
00:46:39of the resentment among
00:46:41Israelis, and part of it is punishment
00:46:44for the citizens
00:46:46and the families.
00:47:40Look at how many thousands of trees they uprooted from the land.
00:47:43Why? What did the tree do?
00:47:46What did the tree do
00:47:48for what?
00:48:01We are in this land, and we always leave it. We always used to plant
00:48:04it. And as you can see,
00:48:08This work, I mean, our roots
00:48:11are deeply embedded in the very bottom
00:48:14of the earth.
00:48:29I mean, I walked almost 5 kilometers to get 15
00:48:33loaves for one person. We hope
00:48:36that the bakeries will open and the crisis will be resolved, and
00:48:40life will return to normal in Gaza.
00:48:52with very weak capabilities, and there are also things missing
00:48:56that we can't provide. They are available, for these machines.
00:49:00They are running, how can I tell
00:49:03you, with different motors and different belts. We are jerry-rigging
00:49:07them so that we can work because everything we have is dilapidated,
00:49:11and we are trying to make things work by all means to
00:49:14continue and be able to live and define the conditions of life.
