00:00:00Aggression in the Gaza Strip
00:00:02the aggression and crimes against the Palestinian in order to keep our Palestinian people
00:00:05in 30% of the Strip, and also more siege
00:00:10there is something that cannot Let's talk in detail about this and despair for our Palestinian people. This is the main goal, as we said a little while ago, to implement
00:00:13the strategies related to displacement and other things. I believe that
00:00:17what the foreign minister of the occupation said,
00:00:20and he is fully aware that they are the occupation government
00:00:23who bear full responsibility for foiling everything related
00:00:27to arranging the internal Palestinian situation. The question is, are
00:00:31the internal Palestinian elections
00:00:33and also from that strengthen the internal Palestinian situation a Palestinian interest that can
00:00:3831 men, be carried out by the occupation government with facilities unrelated to this matter?
00:00:42Instead, they put obstacles in front of that in order to maintain the status quo,
00:00:45in order to exploit the situation to consolidate these occupying realities on the ground. Therefore,
00:00:49Vice President Brother Hussein Al-Sheikh,
00:00:51there were many when he spoke about
00:00:54crocodile tears, it was very clear
00:00:57that this matter means that
00:01:00the direct responsibility
00:01:03lead to holding elections by pressuring for the complications of the internal situation, the escalating crimes, and the ongoing war of extermination
00:01:06rests with the occupation government. Now, let's talk about Palestinian-Palestinian relations.
00:01:10A sentence mentioned in the presidential decree states that
00:01:13the amendment of the election date comes to hold a comprehensive
00:01:17Palestinian national dialogue.
00:01:20They closed the British consulate in There are sources confirming that a Fatah delegation is in Egypt
00:01:24to arrange the comprehensive dialogue with the factions, or at least to start with this
00:01:27question. The question
00:01:32from our Palestinian The past period witnessed an inability to reach an internal Palestinian-Palestinian agreement.
00:01:35What makes me optimistic this time
00:01:39will do this? about its success?
00:01:40started throwing stones at This morning, both parts of the question, the first
00:01:45crimes. The very important matter in this part, there is close follow-up with our brothers in Egypt
00:01:48first, and with
00:01:50and all Palestinian factions
00:01:51it does not abide by any of in order to make this dialogue a success. The delegation that was in
00:01:54Cairo will return next
00:01:57Wednesday to the Arab Republic to contact
00:02:00the Egyptian brothers and also
00:02:04to contact the Palestinian factions
00:02:06especially in in order to prepare for holding the comprehensive national dialogue session
00:02:09and ensuring its success. This is an
00:02:12in detail, that this important matter. The second issue is that it is true that there were
00:02:14dialogues and agreements were made but
00:02:20a set of to pressure the occupation not implemented. However, today we all realize the great dangers to the entire Palestinian national project
00:02:23college elected this. when we talk about the occupation's strategy aimed at violating the rights of our Palestinian people, whether
00:02:26the right of return for Palestinian refugees and starting
00:02:30with attempts
00:02:33serious and real pressure from that took place during the long past period to prevent UNRWA
00:02:36dangers related to this from employing Palestinian refugees and demolishing refugee camps, as happened in Jenin,
00:02:39Nour Shams, and Tulkarm,
00:02:41a Palestinian window to
00:02:42settlements and settlers in the lands of the State of Palestine, not in and what is happening in the Gaza Strip, all of that aims to strengthen the right of return for Palestinian refugees, in addition to the fact
00:02:46that the occupation, when it proceeds towards
00:02:52protection for our Palestinian people in the face of this to believe that this the implementation of this more confiscation of land, more construction and expansion of colonial settlements, more construction of new
00:02:54settlements, it aims with all that to prevent the establishment and creation of an independent
00:02:58Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. This is a self-evident matter. Regarding that,
00:03:03for the sake of pressuring the second matter, and suffice it to say,
00:03:04is the first matter, is that it tries to undermine Palestinian representation.
00:03:07The economic blockade and the confiscation of allocated funds, the military
00:03:15levels to impose a comprehensive siege on to participate in this checkpoints, all that it does of aggression and crimes, whether by the occupation army or by the colonizing
00:03:18related to her follow-up on settlers and their attacks on our Palestinian people, aims to break
00:03:21the will of steadfastness, unity, and resistance of our Palestinian people.
00:03:25world in order to pressure And this matter, I believe, has become completely clear because the occupation tries to impose
00:03:28its occupying control as an alternative to Palestinian representation, whether
00:03:32it concerns the government or the Palestinian National Authority, which is the arm
00:03:36of that more than any other country in of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The third
00:03:39matter, as we said a little while ago, is that the occupation
00:03:43in the terrorist attack, most of them believe this a fundamental and strategic issue at believes that the issue of displacement can up with explosives, and about still be implemented,
00:03:46was done and statements are made daily about the issue of displacement, which was thwarted by the
00:03:50towards more pressure on
00:03:51secret that many unified Palestinian position or the rejection of the displacement
00:03:53of any of our Palestinian people, and the position of the Arab Republic of Egypt,
00:03:57which expressed it clearly, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
00:04:05the state of Palestine in
00:04:10these challenges, which requires the rapid achievement of Palestinian
00:04:13national unity that leads to the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy
00:04:17a boycott of the occupation and isolating that protects our rights and constants, and our representation, and moves forward
00:04:20towards our struggle and our system for freedom and independence. The factions outside the PLO,
00:04:24do you have hope that they
00:04:28the Palestinian West Bank, in the face of this 28, and we will pressure will join the PLO in light of all the circumstances and all the factors you mentioned, Doctor?
00:04:31This is what has been
00:04:34prepared
00:04:35that rises to the level of these challenges. This to be done
00:04:37settlers, and the whole world witnesses it, from and to reach this position by this right-wing government, make the factions that came out of the Palestinian Liberation Organization,
00:04:42any positions on this and for us, as factions of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, we strive, as
00:04:45we have striven before, for everyone
00:04:49at Jaffa Gate, located in to be within the framework of the Palestinian Liberation Organizations because we consider it the umbrella
00:04:52decision in this regard, I mean from for all the Palestinian people
00:04:56or from countries abroad. and a system that governs everyone in this and the most important achievement and the tent that shelters all the Palestinian people is the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people
00:05:02We knew that hope to the Palestinian people that there is serious pressure on in its struggle and fight for freedom
00:05:03with many countries, whether Arab, and independence. Therefore, I believe everyone realizes the importance
00:05:06of that and how important it is for everyone to be within this framework. And I believe that
00:05:09one of the strategic and comprehensive national
00:05:12issues is the matter of agreeing on three
00:05:15issues that must be discussed. First,
00:05:19the goals of the Palestinian national struggle, as we said,
00:05:22the constants of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the resolutions of national consensus, the right of return for
00:05:26refugees, the right to self-determination, the establishment of an independent
00:05:29Palestinian state with full sovereignty and its capital Jerusalem. The second
00:05:32matter is the forms of Palestinian
00:05:36national struggle. It was agreed, even at the last conference
00:05:39in Beijing, on a comprehensive national dialogue, after all forms
00:05:43of resistance of our Palestinian people were supported by resolutions of international legitimacy
00:05:46and international law. But the most appropriate form of
00:05:50resistance that our Palestinian people should adopt is popular
00:05:53resistance, and this matter was also agreed upon.
00:05:57And the third matter, which is that the organization, and
00:06:00every time, the title of the Palestine
00:06:03Liberation Organization will be a separate item in that context, is that everyone affirms
00:06:07that the organization is the sole representative of the Palestinian people and it
00:06:10is the umbrella
00:06:12for all factions of national action and for all our Palestinian people.
00:06:16And every time we affirm that and open the doors for that. Today, in the face of
00:06:20the great dangers and challenges to the Palestinian national project, I believe that
00:06:24reaching this level must happen. But there are also
00:06:27agreements signed by the Palestine Liberation Organization and a number of factions outside
00:06:30the Palestine Liberation Organization that say, "I do not agree to them," and they use this
00:06:34condition as an excuse. As you pointed out, perhaps
00:06:38in previous it is true that
00:06:42two dialogues took place during the war of extermination after October 7, a dialogue in
00:06:45Moscow and another dialogue in Beijing
00:06:48in China. But
00:06:51the continuation of this aggressive and criminal war
00:06:55today can pose great risks to the Palestinian
00:06:59national project, attempts to separate the Gaza Strip, divide
00:07:03the Gaza Strip, keep the occupation army in the Gaza Strip, not
00:07:07withdraw, not lift the siege, and all that
00:07:10is happening of aggression and killing. Today, the number of martyrs
00:07:14is daily, but it has become something the occupation tries
00:07:18to keep as a consecrated daily use, meaning it is not
00:07:21new news. Yes, and the Palestinian bloodshed. This is what
00:07:25must be emphasized, that what has been agreed
00:07:29upon, whether in the so-called peace conference and its arrangements, or
00:07:32regarding the Security Council and its resolution and international legitimacy resolutions
00:07:35in general, of course, in the Security Council resolution regarding the issue of agreement on that,
00:07:39and also
00:07:43which includes even in the first
00:07:4620 points, and then the 15 points announced by Mladenov after
00:07:50the agreement on that, and which Netanyahu announced the next day that
00:07:53he would not abide by that. We are talking
00:07:56about what can indicate
00:08:01agreement, the withdrawal of the occupation
00:08:03army, lifting the siege,
00:08:07giving priority to removing rubble and reconstruction,
00:08:10and this is a fundamental matter. Because we are now, for example,
00:08:14peace, we are approaching winter. Today, two
00:08:18million of our Palestinian people in 30% of the Gaza Strip, or even less,
00:08:21live in this land,
00:08:24which means for three years, the tents
00:08:28and others in have become these
00:08:30tents, which try to shelter the Palestinian people, have become
00:08:34dilapidated. This prevents the entry of any caravans or the possibility of talking about
00:08:38that. Let me point out an important point, that the Israeli army today moved
00:08:42or expanded what is known as its control zone or what it calls
00:08:45the Yellow Line, and it became 10 meters away from
00:08:49Salah al-Din Street, which led to the displacement of dozens of Palestinian families.
00:08:52This is one of the continuous daily
00:08:56crimes. And I believe that
00:08:57they
00:09:01are trying to close any horizon, even the administrative committee that was
00:09:05agreed upon was prevented from entering the Gaza Strip, meaning they are trying to
00:09:08isolate the Gaza Strip. For us, even in the comprehensive national dialogue,
00:09:12the main reference points are that the Palestinian
00:09:15territories within the framework of
00:09:18the West Bank, as in the Gaza Strip, and occupied East Jerusalem, the capital,
00:09:22are politically, geographically, demographically,
00:09:25territories of the state of Palestine. Therefore, it is impossible to accept that there will be a separation of the Gaza
00:09:29Strip. Perhaps the dangerous thing that was
00:09:32talked about is that there are countries that were guarantors of
00:09:36the success of the elections on November
00:09:39the occupation. We will talk about this point, but before
00:09:43we finish talking about those outside the framework of the PLO,
00:09:46are they convinced that there must be one weapon and one law?
00:09:49Also, this is the matter
00:09:53that has been constantly emphasized in all dialogues, and this
00:09:57dialogue will be so because we are talking about Palestinian
00:10:00legitimacy, we are talking about a Palestinian state under
00:10:03occupation, we are talking about a law
00:10:07context. Therefore, it is impossible to accept any forms that are outside
00:10:11the framework of the official system that must be adhered to within the framework
00:10:14of the law and within the framework of applying the law. Now let's talk
00:10:18about the issue of the National Council. The electoral
00:10:21college operations for selecting members abroad have been frozen
00:10:25as a step to facilitate or open the way for a broader
00:10:28dialogue and include the largest possible segment into the National Council.
00:10:34issue that you also discussed at the Executive Committee meeting.
00:10:38As everyone knows, there is a preparatory
00:10:40committee that was formed by presidential decree
00:10:43to follow up on the elections of the Palestinian National Council.
00:10:46And
00:10:49continuous meetings were held, perhaps 18 meetings, and after that,
00:10:53a follow-up committee was formed.
00:10:55From Vice President Brother Hussein,
00:10:58Brother Ruhi Fattouh, President of the Palestinian Council, and he followed up on
00:11:02the elections of the Palestinian National Council in all countries of the world, whether Arab,
00:11:06Islamic, or other countries of the world, including
00:11:10our Palestinian people residing in this or that country, and based
00:11:14on specific percentages of the presence of
00:11:17Palestinians, a specific number of members of the Palestinian National Council was
00:11:21given in that country. The matter concerned three
00:11:26mechanisms: either direct election of membership of the Palestinian
00:11:29National Council, and this was not possible
00:11:32because many countries of the world do not accept
00:11:36elections to be held on their soil. And the
00:11:38second matter is to have an electoral college. The electoral
00:11:41college includes six categories: factions,
00:11:45independents,
00:11:48popular organizations and unions,
00:11:51competencies, women, youth
00:11:57people present in that
00:12:00country. This electoral college reflects the number of Palestinians present in that country
00:12:04and the electoral college holds
00:12:07a meeting to elect members of the Palestinian National Council whose number is determined
00:12:11based on what was agreed upon by the Central Bureau of Statistics
00:12:15after the Palestinians present in the world or
00:12:18by understandings related to estimates about the number
00:12:21of Palestinians. And of course,
00:12:25in distinction to the presence of Palestinian
00:12:29camps for the Palestinian people in the camps,
00:12:31Dan in Syria and Lebanon.
00:12:33And
00:12:35the ongoing preparations for that began,
00:12:39and many electoral groups were formed, and
00:12:42also in some other countries, the electoral
00:12:48After President Abbas's visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt
00:12:51and the discussion about
00:12:54the comprehensive dialogue at the Executive Committee meeting that took place
00:12:58two weeks ago, a decision was taken
00:13:01to freeze the work of the electoral colleges
00:13:04or the work of the preparatory committee to follow up on the elections of the Palestinian National Council
00:13:08to give an opportunity for the Palestinian national dialogue to succeed
00:13:11and not
00:13:14matter can obstruct the continuation of the success
00:13:17of the comprehensive national dialogue. And you know,
00:13:21and many of the Palestinian people followed that there was a statement
00:13:25that there are exclusions of factions and there
00:13:28is non-participation and so on. So for us,
00:13:32the field is open for all national action factions
00:13:36work and to be within the framework of the Palestinian
00:13:40National Council and also within the framework of all Palestinian
00:13:43institutions emanating from the Palestinian Liberation Organization. So a decision was taken
00:13:46to freeze that to give this opportunity. And as I told
00:13:50you, in the meeting the day before yesterday, this decision was confirmed to ensure the success
00:13:54of the national dialogue. So
00:13:57regarding the date of holding the elections of the National Council, how is
00:14:01this date now? As
00:14:04of yet, it has not been determined. I
00:14:06matter can be agreed upon as
00:14:11in determining the date of the Legislative Council. It is no
00:14:16factions proposed this date to give an opportunity
00:14:19and ample time for ongoing preparations,
00:14:22and also preparations taking place during this period
00:14:25before the legislative elections
00:14:28on 9/11/27. Based on that, I
00:14:32believe there will also be an agreement on the issue of the Palestinian
00:14:35National Council, either by consensus, as
00:14:38has been the custom in successive national councils, or
00:14:41by electoral groups, as was prepared during the past period.
00:14:45For many years of our people's struggle, the goal was that
00:14:48the Palestinian decision be an independent decision, which is what is prevailing
00:14:52and what is confirmed. But there are
00:14:55many friends and brothers, whether Arab
00:14:58or non-Arab, who had advice regarding the dates
00:15:02of holding elections. Have you observed any objections? Have you observed
00:15:07issue in the Executive Committee as well? It
00:15:09is the main issue that was
00:15:13discussed when the date of the legislative elections was set for November
00:15:1728. Is there a possibility of pressuring the occupation
00:15:21to give
00:15:25the occupation to stop its aggression, crimes, and war of extermination? And I tell you,
00:15:29it is no secret that the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Dr. Rami Hamdallah,
00:15:33a long time ago,
00:15:36met with the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organizations and spoke
00:15:39about major obstacles
00:15:42that must be removed for the elections to succeed. First, what concerns the Gaza Strip
00:15:45and the escalating aggression of the occupation
00:15:49and its bombing, killing, and siege against our Palestinian
00:15:52people. This is the first matter. The second matter is that there is, as is well known, a de facto
00:15:56authority in the Gaza Strip that must be understood about who
00:16:00protects the elections, the ballot box, from many
00:16:03mistakes related to the elections. This is the matter that must have
00:16:07an understanding about. The third matter
00:16:10is Jerusalem, as the elections that were scheduled
00:16:14to be held in 2021-2022 were postponed due to
00:16:17preventing our Palestinian people from nominating or voting in the occupied
00:16:20city of Jerusalem. And this matter was a serious issue, excluding Jerusalem as the capital
00:16:24of the state of Palestine. Based on that, I believe that
00:16:29promises that efforts would be made to
00:16:32achieve what can indicate the creation of an environment
00:16:35related to a serious and real atmosphere that can
00:16:41the occupation. This matter did not happen, even the countries that talked about
00:16:44that could not. Today there is an open
00:16:47war, between the occupation and many countries of the world, including countries
00:16:51friendly to the occupation. For example, we are talking about the Netherlands,
00:16:54for example. We are talking about Britain.
00:16:58Jerusalem. Yes, and they withdrew the diplomatic
00:17:02identities from the Dutch because
00:17:06why? Because they talked about
00:17:17all of that to refute the occupation from continuing these
00:17:22context is that there were also to implement what is related to the peace
00:17:26conference and its outcomes regarding the unity of the Palestinian
00:17:29territories, regarding lifting
00:17:31the siege and not starving our Palestinian people and giving
00:17:35hope through removing
00:17:38rubble and the issue of... Today, it does not mean
00:17:41that places of worship are destroyed, hospitals are destroyed, schools are destroyed, universities
00:17:45are destroyed, homes are destroyed. All this talk,
00:17:48and this matter, we have entered the fourth year and no
00:17:52action has been taken
00:17:54or set practical mechanisms to pressure it to implement that.
00:17:58What do we, as the Palestinian people, want?
00:18:01We want the implementation of resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, a resolution issued by
00:18:05the Security Council, the last Security Council resolution on colonial
00:18:09settlement, Resolution 2334. The advisory opinion of the International
00:18:13Court of Justice after that, which affirmed the impermissibility
00:18:16of the continued presence of colonial occupied
00:18:20Jerusalem.
00:18:23The International Criminal Court and
00:18:27the Rome Statute establishing the Court, which talks about colonial settlement that
00:18:30amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity, let alone
00:18:34the ongoing war of extermination. So,
00:18:37the judge who received
00:18:38the Nobel
00:18:43Prize, what did she say? Wasn't she responsible for a file related to humanitarian
00:18:47conditions and the Palestinian people? She talks about a war of extermination. She talks about
00:18:50killing and what happened to the Palestinian people. She talks about an issue
00:18:55the humanitarian level. So, Doctor, let's talk in more detail
00:18:59here. There were many opinions or reports here or there
00:19:03saying that this party will stop its support, and this party
00:19:07will... and this party will stop its support if you postpone the elections. Let's
00:19:10settle this matter with all frankness and clarity.
00:19:13Let me point to an important issue, because there
00:19:17is a factional consensus,
00:19:19first,
00:19:22among the factions within the Palestine Liberation Organization or those outside it. There was perhaps
00:19:25a reservation from only one faction, while the rest of the national action
00:19:28factions, the Palestine Liberation Organization factions, and the factions outside the Palestine Liberation Organization,
00:19:32reached a national consensus on that, on postponing the elections.
00:19:35This is the first issue. The second issue, I believe, is that
00:19:39everyone realizes the importance of the comprehensive
00:19:42national dialogue in order to end the division, in order
00:19:45to, as we said a little while ago, how do we protect the rights of our people, how do
00:19:49we protect the sacrifices of our Palestinian people,
00:19:53of martyrs, wounded, and prisoners, and the great suffering
00:19:56of the Palestinian people? How do we reach safety in
00:20:00protecting our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in occupied Jerusalem, and in
00:20:05criminal aggression that is taking place? The matter requires the concerted efforts
00:20:09for a Palestinian national unity
00:20:13is what we aim to achieve. So once
00:20:16again, let's talk about some external parties.
00:20:18There
00:20:21was a welcome for postponing these elections. We have not heard that
00:20:24anyone came out to condemn or attack the Palestinian
00:20:29friends
00:20:33Yes, there were a number of consultations,
00:20:37to be precise,
00:20:40Islamic, or international. And
00:20:44a picture of what is happening to our Palestinian
00:20:46people was conveyed to them, and they are following everything related to
00:20:52people. And there was an understanding
00:20:55that the situation will not
00:20:58produce elections in the context of what is happening now. Some
00:21:02people, for example, talk about, and this is a great danger, that
00:21:05perhaps elections can be held
00:21:08in specific areas and postponed in other
00:21:12areas. This is a very dangerous matter. This is tasting poison. Yes, this is a very
00:21:15dangerous matter, and the answer was definitely no, because we
00:21:18are talking about legislative elections in all occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank, Gaza
00:21:22Strip, and occupied Jerusalem, the capital. Therefore, it is impossible
00:21:26to accept that. That is why we did not hear, as you pointed out, Salam, we did not hear any
00:21:30negative reaction regarding the issue of postponing the elections, quite the
00:21:33opposite. Everyone today emphasizes the importance and welcome of the comprehensive
00:21:37national dialogue and also guarantees
00:21:40what can come out of this comprehensive national dialogue in strengthening our
00:21:44situation and strengthening our steadfastness and unity on the ground. But with
00:21:47your discomfort or with your acceptance of the discomfort of some of the names
00:21:50of the lists that may have submitted? This is a right, a right
00:21:54for the Palestinian citizen to have explanations
00:21:58regarding this matter or to confirm that the postponement is
00:22:01something he opposes or so on. This is a guaranteed
00:22:05right for the citizen. I mean, freedom of opinion and expression does not spoil
00:22:09the friendliness of the issue. Therefore, we are talking about a near consensus or a consensus
00:22:12of all national action factions, of all
00:22:16institutions that followed this matter.
00:22:18And of course, there will be, I mean,
00:22:22there is no such thing as complete consensus. There will certainly be some
00:22:26opposition. So, let's talk now about the political
00:22:29reality, and you, in the Executive Committee of the Liberation Organization, meet
00:22:33periodically, rather, you are in a state of permanent session
00:22:36in your recent meetings to follow up on developments on the ground
00:22:39and politically. Politically, there are variables related
00:22:42to the other side, the Israeli elections. It is true that we
00:22:46will not interfere in them, but any result affects us. This is from one perspective.
00:22:50From another perspective, many clashes and conflicts
00:22:53have begun to take a more dangerous turn around us.
00:22:57How do we, as Palestinians, view all of that? I may have hinted at it, but not
00:23:02year, when the elections are postponed to next September,
00:23:06next September, there must be
00:23:10joint work
00:23:13to strengthen our steadfastness
00:23:15and also a joint unified position to address
00:23:19the international community and all brothers with one voice regarding
00:23:22the arrangements related to our Palestinian situation and ward off all
00:23:26matter. Therefore,
00:23:29everyone followed President Abbas's call
00:23:32to our representative at the United Nations, to our mission at the United
00:23:35Nations, to immediately begin demanding the Security
00:23:39Council to convene in order to provide
00:23:42colonial settlement aggression and the occupation army's
00:23:45policies of killing and attacking our people,
00:23:49burning property, homes, cutting off roads, and so on. This
00:23:54and certainly, in addition
00:23:57to it, what is happening of siege at all economic
00:24:00levels and other
00:24:05our Palestinian people, including the piracy of Palestinian clearance funds, which are a Palestinian
00:24:08entitlement, is being stolen
00:24:11and pirated before the eyes of the whole
00:24:15the economic situation so that the government becomes unable to
00:24:18fulfill its obligations, whether in
00:24:20operating expenses or on the salaries of Palestinian employees, and this is what happened during the long
00:24:24past months. And I believe that there are also other
00:24:28issues that will be discussed. I do not want to preempt that
00:24:32regarding a set of factors that strengthen the steadfastness of our Palestinian
00:24:35people and that also move forward
00:24:40the occupation to compel it to implement international law and humanitarian law, especially
00:24:43the resolutions issued by international institutions, that
00:24:46the occupation government or the occupying state is a rogue state that does not acknowledge these resolutions
00:24:50and refuses to comply with applying any of them. So, how long will this situation
00:24:54continue? This is an important matter. The second matter is that
00:24:57the world must also consider that statements
00:25:00of condemnation, denunciation, and censure can be tolerated by the occupation, but
00:25:04practical mechanisms that lead to imposing
00:25:07this occupation and prosecuting it for its crimes, this is what stops
00:25:11the continuation of these crimes. So,
00:25:14we are on the verge of the Israeli elections, and throughout the past
00:25:17years, we have known that all contenders,
00:25:21and especially the Israeli government and its leaders, especially
00:25:26Palestinian blood an election
00:25:29propaganda tool. The closer we get, the more
00:25:32oppression increases, and we have seen the settlers' aggression and daily terrorism,
00:25:36and also the threats of Israeli ministers.
00:25:40How do you view and follow that? What are the available means for us?
00:25:43This is what is actually happening on the ground because in every election, and especially these
00:25:47elections, it is very clear that there is escalating aggression and crime.
00:25:52this escalation comes in two frameworks: the first framework is the continuation of the war of extermination
00:25:56that has not stopped against our Palestinian people in all occupied Palestinian territories in the Gaza
00:25:59Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. And the other
00:26:02framework is that the closer the elections
00:26:05get, Palestinian blood becomes a
00:26:09bargaining chip to ensure the success of these elections through votes. The far-right, which
00:26:12the occupation believes it can garner more of these votes
00:26:16for its right-wing agenda. In any case, we believe that even
00:26:20these parties can have a difference in form, but not in
00:26:24essence and content. All parties share three
00:26:27main issues, these right-wing parties that
00:26:31can
00:26:40but on the ground, by preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state, everyone
00:26:44is against the establishment of a Palestinian state.
00:26:47Everyone emphasizes that there is no removal of any of the colonial
00:26:51settlement outposts, meaning the legalization
00:26:54of settler colonialism, as long as there are settlers in the territories of the State of Palestine
00:26:58under occupation. The
00:27:00third point is that there is no talk of a political process that can
00:27:04lead to stopping this aggression and crimes
00:27:08without serious and real pressure, as we said. Therefore, these parties agree on
00:27:11three clear determinants. It is clear
00:27:15that it is a continuation of the declaration of war against the entire Palestinian
00:27:17between resolving the conflict, as is the current government, to re-
00:27:21managing the conflict, this is what is meant.
00:27:25It is true that this government has a clear program or
00:27:28two clear programs regarding first, the annexation policy
00:27:32that it adopted, annexation and leasing, yes and leasing, and the
00:27:35other matter, which is the policy of decisive action, meaning that it can
00:27:39resolve the conflict with the Palestinian people, and hence the statements that there is no Palestinian
00:27:43people, there is no Palestinian people, and the statements about what is called Greater
00:27:46Israel and the attacks on neighboring countries in Lebanon, in Syria, throughout
00:27:49the region,
00:27:54the international laws or international legitimacy resolutions and international
00:27:57law. Therefore, I believe that
00:27:59it is true that there can be,
00:28:02as I said, in terms of form, changes
00:28:06in the attempt to manage the conflict at the level
00:28:09of acceptance by the international community and dealing with this government or
00:28:13that one through what it does, and this happened
00:28:16previously when many statements
00:28:19were made about what could constitute a political solution, but on the ground, the matter was
00:28:23different. Settler colonialism was increasing, there was encroachment
00:28:26against the Palestinian people, and there was an imposition of facts on the ground that prevented the establishment
00:28:30of a Palestinian state, and all of that was happening before the eyes of the whole world because there was no
00:28:35the international community, which must guarantee security,
00:28:39stability, and peace based on the Palestinian people achieving their right
00:28:42to freedom and independence. It remains to ask about those who demand reform from us, while they are unable
00:28:46to curb settlers and curb the measures
00:28:50of the occupation, such as settlement, killing,
00:28:53and so on, whether in the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip, and at its heart
00:28:56Jerusalem. What about that? I mean, I believe this record has become scratched,
00:29:00and it is perhaps
00:29:06the Palestinian situation regarding the title
00:29:09of reform that is being discussed. Well,
00:29:13many decisions have been
00:29:16taken in this context. Difficult
00:29:19issues have been taken, and they have not changed anything. On the contrary,
00:29:23the escalation has increased. So it's not about reform
00:29:27because it's about law,
00:29:29accountability, transparency, and everything related to
00:29:34the transfer of power, elections, all
00:29:38the world. This is an issue that for us is
00:29:43the Palestinian level in order to emphasize that our Palestinian cause
00:29:47is moving forward towards establishing its relationship with this reality. But
00:29:51what is being demanded, frankly,
00:29:54these
00:29:57are repeated attempts to pressure the Palestinian situation.
00:30:00For example, the
00:30:03families of prisoners and martyrs, and so on, changing school
00:30:07curricula, issues that have no
00:30:10relation other than to distract
00:30:13the Palestinian situation, and you are asking me for demands while you are unable to prevent
00:30:16a settler from entering or storming a Palestinian city. A full
00:30:19war, he says. When Ben
00:30:23Gvir talks about nearly 200 weapons being given to settlers,
00:30:26what does this mean? 20,000 weapons, what
00:30:30does that mean? It means granting a license to kill.
00:30:34When the criminal terrorist attacks are committed by
00:30:39north to south, from Jenin to Masafer Yatta,
00:30:43and everything in between. This is happening before the eyes of the whole world. So what has
00:30:46the world done to curb this? And this is a message to those who advocate or
00:30:50put forward slogans of reform without neglecting what they should
00:30:54provide regarding the occupation. This
00:30:57time, what makes you more optimistic about launching
00:31:01a comprehensive Palestinian national dialogue? Honestly,
00:31:05the Palestinian situation requires
00:31:07that. We, during this episode, talked about
00:31:11great and numerous dangers facing the Palestinian situation, and
00:31:15the goals call people to be optimistic. Now, I believe that
00:31:18we have always,
00:31:21the Palestinian cause has gone through difficult and dangerous turns,
00:31:24and the eternal martyr Yasser Arafat used to say that
00:31:28a tunnel, a light at the end of the tunnel will be bright
00:31:31and will carry a child or a flower from our cubs and
00:31:34our flowers, the flag of Palestine on the walls of Jerusalem,
00:31:38the churches of Jerusalem, and the mosques of Jerusalem. And this is what
00:31:41always makes us optimistic that these immense sacrifices
00:32:48Where is the Security Council about it? Where are those who said
00:32:51we will come as one and we
00:32:54And the truce they are talking about is not happening. On the contrary, what I see
00:32:58is no truce, and the escalation is increasing day by day,
00:33:01day by day, killings, the number of martyrs in the tens, injuries
00:33:05in the tens.
00:34:48Now, the government is
00:34:51building new settlements in all areas of the West Bank.
00:34:54Smotrich's electoral program from the beginning
00:34:58is the seizure and annexation of Hebron, and they are working on
00:35:01that. Unfortunately, there is no reaction from
00:35:05the United Nations, the Security Council, and the international
00:35:09community. This step is a major
00:35:12escalation for the city and very difficult for the city's residents.
00:39:27Among the victims of the terrorist bombing were women
00:39:30and children, most of whom were from one Palestinian
00:39:34family.
00:39:37We are facing a story of Jerusalem written
00:39:40in blood.
00:39:43On January 5, 1948,
00:39:461948،
00:39:49the terrorist Haganah organization blew up the Semiramis
00:39:52Hotel, located in the Baq'a residential neighborhood, west
00:39:56of Jerusalem.
00:40:03The hotel was blown
00:40:0620 Palestinian civilians were killed
00:40:10children and women, and 20
00:40:13others were wounded. Most of the martyrs and wounded were
00:40:17from one family, the Abu Sawan family,
00:40:21who sought refuge in the hotel, believing they would be
00:40:25safe from attacks.
00:40:55A day after the bombing of the Semiramis Hotel, the Zionist
00:40:58gangs attacked other
00:41:01civilian targets.
00:41:06On January 7 of the same year,
00:41:10members of the terrorist Irgun gang
00:41:13threw a bomb
00:41:17the Old City of Jerusalem.
00:41:2018 Palestinian civilians were killed in this terrorist
00:41:24attack, and 41
00:41:28others were wounded.
00:41:35A few days after the Jaffa Gate terrorist attack, specifically
00:41:41disguised as
00:41:46terrorist elements
00:41:48British soldiers entered a warehouse
00:41:51near the Mughrabi building located on
00:41:55Salah al-Din Street in the city of Haifa.
00:41:58The excuse was
00:42:00inspection.
00:42:07They planted a time bomb whose explosion led
00:42:10to the collapse of the building and its surroundings.
00:42:13As a result of this cowardly terrorist act,
00:42:18women, and children were killed, and more than
00:42:2260 were wounded.
00:42:29A bloody history of heinous massacres that
00:42:32have been and still
00:42:34are ongoing.
00:42:42Their history is full of blood.
00:43:16This round was aggressive because they
00:43:20houses, and a few days ago, they also
00:43:23burned a house in the village belonging to citizen
00:43:27Suhaib Radwan
00:43:29Ramadan.
00:43:38The attack happened in the area we see in the back.
00:43:42The shooting led to the death of four martyrs and four
00:43:45wounded.
00:43:55Today's file, we will discuss in follow-up
00:43:58and analysis the most prominent political,
00:44:01local, Arab,
00:44:04and international files, and we will open
00:44:07the internal files that concern our people inside
00:44:11and in the diaspora.
00:44:11Today's
00:44:16file is a program through which we seek to be
00:44:21the world.
00:44:26Today's file comes to you at the following times.
00:47:34We came here and found the scene as you see it,
00:47:37meaning immediately or the area in the army. We came here and found
00:47:40the scene completely, I mean,
00:47:44this area was, I mean, one of the most beautiful areas,
00:47:47and as you see it now,
00:47:49it's destroyed.
00:49:43Welcome to the seven AM news bulletin from Palestine
00:49:46TV, starting with the main headlines.
00:49:50Four martyrs by Israeli occupation bullets, west of Khan Younis,
00:49:53including a child in Jabalia, north of the Gaza
00:49:56Strip.
00:50:03The presidency condemns the terrorist attack on the airport.
