00:00:00refugee camps. About Palestinians in settlers from the newly established
00:00:03settlement of Adourin, which was built on the
00:00:07lands of citizens in that area, cut off
00:00:10the electricity wires for the sixth consecutive time, supplying
00:00:13nearly 20
00:00:17houses in the
00:00:18elected. This Wadi Al-Awar area, which
00:00:20contacts, whether with belongs to Birin, east of Hebron. The
00:00:24of Egypt or with the factions located residents in that area are continuously subjected to attacks by settlers and occupation
00:00:28forces, including house demolitions,
00:00:31land leveling,
00:00:34to hold a dialogue in and siege, imposing

00:00:42that
00:00:44implementation of this area.
00:00:45to believe that this
00:00:50This morning, the Israeli authorities expansion, more began demolition operations in
00:00:53the unrecognized village of Dahiyat Masloubeh in the
00:00:56Negev region, targeting about 80 houses. The village
00:01:00is very small and is inhabited by nearly 300 people from the
00:01:04Abu Wadi family, including children and elderly
00:01:07people. The demolition targeted the houses of the Abu Wadi family,
00:01:11of extermination and everything related to this a step that threatens to displace hundreds of residents amid fears of dozens
00:01:15of families losing their homes and lands. The
00:01:19demolition operation comes after the Central Court in Beersheba
00:01:22rejected a request to freeze its implementation, which paved the way
00:01:26for the implementation of demolition decisions that affect the houses and buildings
00:01:30of the village.
00:01:39about, there will also be a set
00:02:2228th and would pressure

00:02:58attempts to impose occupation realities on
00:03:07college for selecting members abroad
00:03:12Good times to you, a new segment from "Today's File." A presidential
00:03:15decree provides for holding
00:03:17in detail about this
00:03:18and to despair our Palestinian people. This of the Ibrahimi Mosque and the attacks on legislative and presidential elections simultaneously on the eleventh of September
00:03:222027. This decree
00:03:25is an amendment to the date that was previously announced.
00:03:29The presidential decree clarifies this change in
00:03:32the date based on the field
00:03:35and political conditions and the restrictions that Israel imposes
00:03:39whether in the West Bank and in the heart
00:03:42and also from of it, Jerusalem, or in the southern governorates, and the continuation of killing
00:03:45and obstacles. We must not forget that the occupation forces had
00:03:48prevented the Central Elections Commission and its teams from entering our occupied
00:03:52capital, Jerusalem, and also refused the entry of commission members
00:03:55into the Gaza Strip and even prevented
00:03:58observers from entering and did not agree to all
00:04:02of that. Regarding this issue, the presidential
00:04:05decree also states that changing the date of
00:04:08the elections and making them simultaneous on the 11th of
00:04:12September of next year also aims,
00:04:15in light of what it aims for, to allow for a broader
00:04:18Palestinian dialogue
00:04:20A sentence in the presidential that includes discussion about
00:04:22the next stage
00:04:26to put in place practical mechanisms to impose sanctions on and also includes discussion about the Palestinian National Council. We will not prolong the introduction and welcome
00:04:30you to our guest here in the studio, a member
00:04:34to arrange the comprehensive dialogue with of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Secretary-General
00:04:36the factions or at least start this of the Palestine Liberation Front, Dr. Wasel Abu Yousef. Welcome. Hello and good evening.
00:04:40youth, from We are talking about the presidential decree. Now it has become simultaneous,
00:04:44legislative and presidential, and next year,
00:04:48the Executive Committee of the Liberation Organization discussed this matter,
00:04:51so tell us about what you discussed in the committee. I mean,
00:04:55is that there is close follow-up with it must be noted that the meeting held the day before yesterday,
00:04:58Friday, of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization was a continuation
00:05:02of a meeting that took place two weeks before,
00:05:05where, after President Mahmoud Abbas's
00:05:09Arab Republic of Egypt to contact visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt and the affirmation
00:05:12of the importance of opening a comprehensive national dialogue during the next
00:05:16stage, it was
00:05:19agreed to start that. The
00:05:22Executive Committee met and affirmed the importance of reaching a comprehensive national
00:05:26dialogue that works on arrangements related to the internal Palestinian
00:05:29situation and immediately begins
00:05:33our brothers in the Arab Republic
00:05:37abroad. Indeed, there
00:05:39was a proposal to form a delegation. The brothers in
00:05:43the Fatah movement began
00:05:46Cairo, and this is indeed what happened through the meetings
00:05:50that took place with the Hamas movement, with the Islamic Jihad
00:05:53movement, and with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which had
00:05:57issued a memorandum regarding its purposeful position
00:06:01for arrangements related to the national dialogue and the issue of elections.
00:06:05I mean, this matter is deferred and not precedent.
00:06:08In any case,
00:06:10indeed, there were many agreements during this
00:06:14visit. The Executive Committee met the day before yesterday, and
00:06:18before that, of course, the Executive Committee had taken a decision for
00:06:21facilitators related to the comprehensive national dialogue by freezing
00:06:25the work of the electoral colleges for the elections of the Palestinian National Council
00:06:28that had begun in many
00:06:31countries of the world and giving
00:06:34time for the comprehensive
00:06:38national dialogue and its success. That was frozen. The day before yesterday, the Executive
00:06:41Committee meeting focused on three main points.
00:06:44The first point
00:06:47is that with the approaching closing of the nomination
00:06:50period for the
00:06:54legislative elections scheduled to be held on November 28th
00:06:57and the continuation of the aggression and crimes, whether in
00:07:01the Gaza Strip and the daily bombing, we are talking today about more than a year
00:07:04since the announcement of the ceasefire on October 10th of
00:07:08last year, and this matter, until
00:07:13now, there are 1488 martyrs as a result of that. There are
00:07:17more than 5025 wounded, and there is destruction
00:07:20and siege, and no one talks about
00:07:23the withdrawal of the occupation army or the reconstruction or even the entry of the agreed-upon
00:07:27administrative committee, including
00:07:30everything related to the Gaza Strip in an
00:07:33attempt to isolate the Gaza Strip from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories. In addition
00:07:37to that, the occupation continued
00:07:40to commit all its aggression in the Palestinian West Bank, Jerusalem. We are talking today
00:07:44about nearly a thousand military and earthen checkpoints
00:07:46and iron gates that cut off communication between
00:07:50the Palestinian cities, villages, and camps.
00:07:53And we witness the attacks of the colonists, the settlers,
00:07:56and what they do under the protection of the occupation army and a green light from the occupation
00:08:00government to attack our Palestinian people and cut off
00:08:03roads and attack during the olive harvest season, which the Palestinian
00:08:07farmer relies on. Therefore, the peak of these
00:08:10attacks is taking place these days. And I believe that the implementation
00:08:14of the killing policies against the people by armed settlers
00:08:17and their escalating crimes and terrorism
00:08:21are taking place before the eyes of the entire world, in addition to what is happening in the city
00:08:24of Jerusalem, with continuous attacks on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the closure
00:08:29Islamic and Christian holy sites. All of this
00:08:33has not provided a safe environment for holding these elections. On the contrary, the situation
00:08:36has remained in a state of escalation because the main goal
00:08:40is to keep the war of extermination going
00:08:43against the Palestinian people, and the other goal is to try to undermine
00:08:46the rights of our Palestinian people, to strike Palestinian representation, and to try
00:08:49to suggest that the time is still ripe for displacement,
00:08:53and all of that is happening before elections that will be held
00:08:57for them on the 27th of this month.
00:09:00So, Palestinian blood is very clear, as always, it is fuel
00:09:04to gain the votes of the most right-wing and extreme
00:09:07of these right-wing parties. Therefore, the aggression continued
00:09:11to escalate. This is the first matter. The second matter, as
00:09:15I told you, is that after the Executive Committee took a decision regarding comprehensive
00:09:18national dialogue, and this is indeed what happened through the contacts that
00:09:22took place, and the main goal is arrangements related to the internal
00:09:26Palestinian situation, including the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy that protects the rights
00:09:29of our people and strengthens our steadfastness and also addresses the world
00:09:33with a clear and unified voice in order
00:09:38the occupation, prosecute the occupation, and stop these crimes from
00:09:42being committed. The second matter is to stop everything related
00:09:45to the possibility of talking about the continuation of the Palestinian division or attempting
00:09:49to entrench it. Therefore, a decision was taken, as I said a little
00:09:52while ago, to stop the issue of electoral colleges
00:09:56and the elections of the Palestinian National Council to give, also, more time for the comprehensive
00:09:59Palestinian national dialogue. And the third matter is that everyone
00:10:03emphasizes the importance of the Palestine Liberation Organization
00:10:07and the organization within its framework as the sole
00:10:10legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and the leader of its struggle for
00:10:13freedom and independence. Therefore, these combined factors, including the prevention,
00:10:17as you mentioned, of the Election Commission from reaching the Gaza Strip or the arrival
00:10:20of the materials that must arrive for the ballot boxes, ink,
00:10:24and so on, and also preventing the Election Commission from going
00:10:28to Jerusalem or international observers from coming
00:10:31to supervise these elections, these combined factors
00:10:34have made the issue of elections a very
00:10:38difficult one, frankly. The Executive Committee discussed this issue in
00:10:42all its details and took a clear direction and decision
00:10:45to go to President
00:10:48Abbas for a presidential decree based on all these facts and based on
00:10:52the importance of a comprehensive national dialogue to postpone these elections and to hold
00:10:56the elections simultaneously, legislative
00:10:59and presidential, during the coming period. An agreement
00:11:04points of view from the factions
00:11:07that this date should be the eleventh of next September
00:11:11in 2027, September 27. This is what was agreed
00:11:14upon to hold legislative elections and presidential elections at
00:11:18that date. Why this period? Why on the eleventh of
00:11:21September? What was the opinion of the factions?
00:11:25The opinion is that during this
00:11:28period, it is very clear that there is a significant aggressive escalation
00:11:31regarding, as we said a little while ago, the elections and the continuation of the war
00:11:36matter. Therefore, there will not be major changes regarding the escalating aggression
00:11:40and crimes against our Palestinian people during this short period that
00:11:43can be arranged in a few months. Therefore,
00:11:47giving an opportunity also to ensure the success of the upcoming elections and by combining
00:11:51all efforts to provide all means to ensure the success of these
00:11:55elections, this is what made it necessary for it to require
00:11:58Palestinian consensus, and perhaps also during this year that we are talking
00:12:04of practical issues and mechanisms to
00:12:07fill the void so that there is no void during this period until
00:12:11next September, that there will be another set of
00:12:14factors, whether, I mean, many ideas were put forward, whether
00:12:18related to the possibility of talking about meetings
00:12:22for the institutions of the organization, especially the Palestinian Central Council. That there
00:12:25will also be a set of decisions related to strengthening the internal Palestinian
00:12:29situation and also practical mechanisms
00:12:32to strengthen our steadfastness and confront and resist all attempts
00:12:36of the occupation aimed at further escalation and aggression. Before
00:12:39we detail each point you mentioned, the occupation's Foreign Minister
00:12:43Gideon Sa'ar also issued a statement attacking
00:12:46the Palestinian leadership and saying
00:12:50that Israel is the cause, and there
00:12:54was also a clear response from
00:12:57the Vice President
00:13:01the Palestinian response put things in perspective. How do we discuss
00:13:05or, I mean, interpret the statements of the occupation's Foreign Minister? I mean,
00:13:08imagine, Salam, that everything the occupation does, these
00:13:11crimes that are broadcast
00:13:14daily on all television screens and in the media,
00:13:18major crimes in terms of aggression and crimes, and
00:13:23the ground. The government itself
00:13:25issues colonial settlement tenders, trying to legitimize what are called colonial
00:13:29settlement outposts. It is moving forward towards further escalation
00:13:33and aggression in the Gaza Strip in order to keep
00:13:36our Palestinian people in 30% of the Strip,
00:13:40and also further siege
00:13:43is the main goal, as we said a little while ago, to implement strategies
00:13:47related to displacement and so on. I believe that what
00:13:51the occupation's foreign minister said, and he
00:13:54knows very well that they, the occupation
00:13:58government, bear full responsibility for foiling everything related to arranging the internal
00:14:01Palestinian situation. The question is,
00:14:04are the internal Palestinian elections, which strengthen the internal Palestinian
00:14:08situation, a Palestinian interest that the
00:14:10occupation government can facilitate?
00:14:14It is clear that it puts obstacles in the way for the situation
00:14:18to remain as it is, in order to exploit the situation to solidify these
00:14:21occupation realities on the ground. Therefore, Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh, when
00:14:25he talked about
00:14:28crocodile tears, it was very clear that this matter
00:14:31means that the direct responsibility
00:14:35for the complications of the internal situation and the escalating crimes and the continuous
00:14:38war of extermination is the occupation government. Now, let's talk about
00:14:41Palestinian-Palestinian relations.
00:14:45decree states that the amendment of the election date
00:14:49comes to hold a comprehensive Palestinian national
00:14:52dialogue, and there are sources confirming that a Fatah
00:14:55delegation is in Egypt
00:15:01question.
00:15:04The past period witnessed an inability to reach an internal
00:15:07Palestinian-Palestinian agreement. What
00:15:10makes me optimistic this time? Frankly, I mean, the two parts
00:15:14of the question: The first
00:15:17part
00:15:20our brothers in Egypt first, and with
00:15:23all Palestinian factions. For the success of this dialogue, the delegation
00:15:27that was in Cairo will return next
00:15:30Wednesday to the
00:15:34the Egyptian brothers and also to contact
00:15:37the Palestinian factions in order to prepare for a comprehensive national dialogue
00:15:41session with the participation of everyone and to ensure its success. This is an
00:15:44important matter. The second issue is that it is true that there were
00:15:47dialogues and agreements that were not implemented, but today
00:15:51we are all aware of great dangers to the entire Palestinian national
00:15:54project. When you talk about the occupation's strategy aimed
00:15:58at undermining the rights of our Palestinian people, whether the right of return for Palestinian
00:16:00refugees, and the start
00:16:03of attempts that took place during the long
00:16:07past period to prevent UNRWA from employing Palestinian
00:16:10refugees and demolishing camps, as happened in Jenin and Nour Shams and Tulkarem,
00:16:14and what is happening in the Gaza Strip, all of that is aimed at undermining the right of return for Palestinian
00:16:17refugees. In addition to that, when the occupation moves towards
00:16:21more land confiscation, more building and settlement
00:16:26building of new settlements, it aims by all of that
00:16:29to prevent the establishment and creation of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
00:16:33This is an obvious matter. The second matter, and it doesn't stop there,
00:16:37is that it tries to undermine Palestinian representation.
00:16:40The economic blockade, the piracy of clearance funds, the military
00:16:44checkpoints, everything it does of aggression
00:16:47and crimes, whether by the occupation army or by the settler
00:16:50colonists and their attacks on our Palestinian people, aims to break
00:16:54the will of steadfastness, unity, and resistance of our Palestinian people. And this
00:16:58matter, I believe, has become very well known because the occupation is trying to impose
00:17:01its occupation control as an alternative to Palestinian representation, whether in
00:17:05relation to the government or the Palestinian
00:17:07National Authority, which is the arm of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate
00:17:11representative of the Palestinian people. And the third matter, as we said a little while ago, is that the occupation believes that
00:17:15the issue of displacement may still be timely for its implementation,
00:17:18and there are daily statements about the issue of displacement, which
00:17:22failed due to the united Palestinian stance
00:17:25against displacing any of our Palestinian people, and the stance
00:17:29of the Arab Republic of Egypt, which expressed it unequivocally, and the Hashemite
00:17:33Kingdom of Jordan, which talked about it, and it has moved
00:17:36to be adopted by all Arab countries. Therefore, I believe
00:17:40that now, more than ever, it is time to rise to the level of these
00:17:44challenges, which requires accelerating the achievement of Palestinian national
00:17:48unity, leading to the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy that protects our
00:17:51rights, our constants, and our representation, and moves forward towards our struggle
00:17:54and our system for freedom and independence. The factions outside the Palestine Liberation
00:17:58Organization, do you have hope that they will join the PLO framework in light of all
00:18:01the circumstances and factors you mentioned, Doctor? I mean, this
00:18:05is what the readiness
00:18:09to exert and reach this position from
00:18:12the factions that served the Palestine Liberation Organization, and for us
00:18:15as factions of the Palestine Liberation Organization, we strive, as
00:18:19we strived before, for everyone to be within the framework of the Palestine
00:18:22Liberation Organization because we consider it the title for all the Palestinian
00:18:26people, and the most important achievement and the umbrella that shelters all the Palestinian people is
00:18:29the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people
00:18:33and the leader of its struggle and fight for freedom and independence.
00:18:36Therefore, I believe everyone realizes the importance of that and
00:18:40that everyone should be within this framework. And I believe that one of
00:18:43the strategic issues for the comprehensive national dialogue is
00:18:47the issue of agreement on three issues that must
00:18:50be discussed. First, the goals of the Palestinian
00:18:54national struggle, as we said, the constants of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
00:18:57national consensus decisions, the right of return for refugees, the right to self-determination,
00:19:00the establishment of an independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem
00:19:04as its capital. The second matter.
00:19:08Forms of Palestinian national struggle. It
00:19:10was agreed, even at the last conference in Beijing, on
00:19:14comprehensive national dialogue that all forms of resistance for all our Palestinian people
00:19:18are guaranteed by international legitimacy and international law, but the
00:19:21most suitable form of resistance that our Palestinian
00:19:24people should adopt is popular resistance. And this matter was
00:19:28also agreed upon. And the
00:19:30third matter is that the organization, and every time,
00:19:34actually, the title of the Palestine Liberation Organization is an
00:19:38independent one. In that context, everyone affirms that the organization is the sole
00:19:41legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and that it must
00:19:45be an umbrella for all factions of national action and for all our Palestinian
00:19:48people. And every time we affirm that and open the doors
00:19:52for that. Today, in the face of the great dangers and challenges to the Palestinian national
00:19:55project, I believe that rising to this level must
00:19:59happen. But there are also agreements signed by the
00:20:02Liberation Organization and a number of factions outside the Liberation Organization that say, "I do not
00:20:06agree to them" and consider this a condition. I mean, as
00:20:09you mentioned, perhaps in previous periods,
00:20:13it is true that there were two dialogues during the war of extermination
00:20:17after October 7th, a dialogue in Moscow and another dialogue.
00:20:20The dialogue was in Beijing, China.
00:20:23However, the continuation of this aggressive
00:20:26and criminal war today can pose
00:20:30great dangers to the Palestinian national project. Attempts to separate the Gaza
00:20:33Strip, to isolate the Gaza Strip,
00:20:36to keep the occupation army in the Gaza Strip, not to
00:20:40withdraw, not to lift the siege, and everything
00:20:43that is happening of aggression, killing, and liquidation. Today, the number of martyrs
00:20:47is daily, but it has become clear
00:20:50that the occupation wants this to remain a daily, routine matter,
00:20:54as if it's not news. Yes, and a river of Palestinian blood. This is the matter that
00:20:58must be emphasized that what was agreed
00:21:02upon, whether in what is called the peace conference and its arrangements, or
00:21:05regarding the Security Council and its resolution and resolutions of international
00:21:09legitimacy in general, of course, and in the Security Council resolution regarding the issue of agreeing on that,
00:21:13and also
00:21:16which includes even in the 20th point
00:21:20first, and then 15 points that Mladenov announced after
00:21:23the agreement on that,
00:21:26not abide by. We are talking
00:21:30about what can indicate the
00:21:34agreement: the withdrawal of the occupation
00:21:36army, the lifting of the siege,
00:21:40prioritizing the removal of rubble and reconstruction,
00:21:43and this is a fundamental matter because we are
00:21:46now, on the path of peace, we are approaching winter.
00:21:50Today, two million of our Palestinian people in 30% of the Gaza Strip, or
00:21:54even less, live in this land that,
00:21:57I mean, for three years, the tents
00:22:01and the others in there have become
00:22:04these tents, and which try to shelter the Palestinian people, have become
00:22:07dilapidated. The entry of any caravans or the possibility of talking about
00:22:11it is prohibited. I would like to point out an important point: the occupation army today removed or
00:22:15expanded what is known as its control area or what it calls
00:22:18the yellow line. And it became 10 meters from
00:22:22Salah al-Din Street, which led to the displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinian
00:22:25families. This is one of the continuous daily
00:22:29crimes, and I believe
00:22:30that, I mean,
00:22:34they are trying to close any horizon, even the administrative committee that was
00:22:38agreed upon was prevented from entering the Gaza Strip, meaning they are trying
00:22:41to isolate the Gaza Strip. For us, even in the comprehensive national dialogue,
00:22:45one of the main pillars is that the Palestinian
00:22:48territories within the framework of the State of Palestine in the West
00:22:52Bank, as in the Gaza Strip and occupied Jerusalem, the capital, are
00:22:55territories politically, geographically, demographically, territories of the State
00:22:59of Palestine, and therefore it is impossible to accept the separation of the Gaza
00:23:02Strip. Perhaps the dangerous thing that was
00:23:05talked about is that there were countries that guaranteed the success of the
00:23:09elections on November
00:23:12the occupation to. We will talk about this point, but before
00:23:16we finish talking about those outside the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
00:23:21Are they convinced that there should be one weapon and one law
00:23:24also? This is the matter that has been emphasized
00:23:28constantly in all dialogues, and this dialogue will be like that because
00:23:31we are talking about Palestinian legitimacy. We are talking
00:23:34about a Palestinian state under occupation. We are talking
00:23:38about a law and a system that governs everyone in this context, and therefore it is impossible to accept
00:23:42any forms outside the framework of the official
00:23:46system that must be adhered to in terms of law and the application of law.
00:23:50Okay, let's talk now about the issue of the National Council. The
00:23:53operations of the electoral
00:23:57were frozen as a step to facilitate or open
00:24:01the way for a broader dialogue and include the largest possible
00:24:04segment in the National Council. Let's talk
00:24:07issue that you also discussed in the Executive Committee meeting.
00:24:11As everyone knows, there is a preparatory
00:24:14committee that was formed by a presidential decree to follow up on the elections
00:24:17of the Palestinian National Council.
00:24:20And it held continuous meetings, perhaps
00:24:2318 meetings, and after that, a follow-up
00:24:27committee was formed from Vice President Hussein,
00:24:32the Speaker of the Palestinian Council, Ruhi Fattouh,
00:24:35and it followed up on the elections of the Palestinian
00:24:39National Council in all countries of the world, whether Arab, Islamic, or other countries
00:24:43where our Palestinian people are present
00:24:47in this country or that, and based on specific ratios
00:24:51for the presence of Palestinians.
00:24:53A specific number of members of the Palestinian National
00:24:57Council was allocated to this country or that. The matter
00:25:00concerned three mechanisms: either direct election for membership
00:25:03in the Palestinian National Council, and this was not feasible
00:25:07because many countries of the world do not
00:25:11accept holding elections on their territory. The second is to have an electoral
00:25:15college. The electoral college includes six
00:25:18categories: factions, independents,
00:25:22popular organizations, unions,
00:25:25competencies, women,
00:25:30our Palestinian
00:25:33people residing in this country or that. This electoral
00:25:36college reflects the number of Palestinians in that country,
00:25:39and the electoral college holds a meeting to elect the members of the Palestinian
00:25:42National Council, whose number is determined based on what was agreed upon
00:25:46by the Central Statistics Committee after counting the Palestinians.
00:25:50Or by understandings related to estimates of the number of
00:25:54Palestinians. And of course,
00:25:57a distinction was made
00:26:00for the presence of Palestinian
00:26:03the camps, especially in Lebanon, in Syria and Lebanon,
00:26:07and the ongoing
00:26:11preparations for that have begun, and many
00:26:14electoral groups have been formed, and also in some other
00:26:17countries, the electoral college
00:26:21matter, after President Mahmoud Abbas's visit to the Arab Republic
00:26:24of Egypt and the talk about
00:26:27a comprehensive national dialogue, in the Executive Committee meeting that took place two
00:26:31weeks ago, a decision was
00:26:34taken to freeze the work of the electoral colleges or
00:26:37the work of the preparatory committee to follow up on the elections of the Palestinian
00:26:41National Council to give an opportunity for the Palestinian national dialogue to succeed
00:26:44and not
00:26:47matter can obstruct the continued success
00:26:51of the comprehensive national dialogue, and to adopt.
