00:00:00on the subject of a study
00:00:01whether in that we are working on small amount for
00:00:04entered the houses so that next
00:00:06Qalqilya. It is, as you mentioned, the only one in year there will be an opportunity studies or in
00:00:08generations. More details about this department, you will see people from to submit complaints
00:00:09They took the rest and the sheep that were sleeping electronically, whether through institutions or through citizens, and this, of course,
00:00:15we celebrate will contribute and will speed up the process
00:00:18of responding and accepting complaints, in addition to the issue
00:00:21of returning responses through the
00:00:24electronic system. Okay, a final question for
00:00:27More details in this you both. The citizen
00:00:33talked about
00:00:38is a partner with the police in developing performance does the agency decide to close this Today, this hospital and improving services,
00:00:42and also, if we want to evaluate the success of the experience a year from
00:00:45now, what is the tangible change that you expect
00:00:48to have been achieved? First,
00:00:52these institutions are already
00:00:56existing human rights institutions concerned with receiving citizens
00:00:59who believe that a right of theirs has been
00:01:02violated.
00:01:05services. We will talk about this The camp These institutions also communicate
00:01:07now. They will with us. This framework came
00:01:10for us to be partners
00:01:12the loss that occurred to with each other, and if they have any specific suggestions
00:01:15and in their homes, in to be included in the annual work plans,
00:01:19stage that this hospital as we mentioned
00:01:21an impact and is present in our previously. Therefore, for the citizen, when they come to this institution, they know
00:01:27introduce, for example, with that these institutions
00:01:27was called Zarda in are, in the end, national human rights institutions
00:01:32that work in partnership. The meaning of partnership is to
00:01:35convey the citizen's complaint to the police, not to
00:01:40developments in this
00:01:40two main aspects. The first is to preserve domestic tourism in conduct investigations, nor
00:01:42Palestinian heritage abroad, people to defend the police if and displacing
00:01:43dates. In the area in the citizen has a right. In addition to that,
00:01:45many citizens
00:01:48extent does that affect submit their complaints to the police
00:01:54a real danger to position, I blame directly. As for
00:01:55We call the the results, we, on the one hand, aspire for every
00:01:59citizen who feels that any
00:02:03on the third of their rights has been violated to submit this complaint, whether
00:02:06to one of these institutions or directly
00:02:09to the police. At the same
00:02:11aspect in this matter time, the results appear clearly, and here,
00:02:14allow me to quote what Dr. Ammar Dweik mentioned on
00:02:19and historical areas in the launch day on
00:02:20Our conflict with November 3rd, that he praised
00:02:23is an existential conflict over the increase in interest and the growing interest in the issue of oversight
00:02:27and accountability
00:02:32books and references the war of genocide or from after Major General the new one in Allam Saqa took over as Director General
00:02:37begins with wells or reclaiming wells in of Police, and that these complaints have decreased significantly this year,
00:02:42Of course, this where Palestine is present in and in addition to that, he praised that all and mentioned that
00:02:43and finds a space for itself in all the responses we receive to complaints are satisfactory
00:02:46and logical responses. This reflects
00:02:49for the settlers in the streets. an improvement in performance and procedures. Exactly.
00:02:52forms of solidarity with If the number
00:02:57we are talking about this and that this of these complaints has decreased, and if these responses are logical to them, then this indicates praise for the professionalism of the police
00:03:01of Palestine with their Palestinian presence in and their serious handling of these complaints submitted by human rights organizations, led
00:03:03affirming solidarity with by the Independent Commission for Human Rights. Yes, Doctor, what we aspire
00:03:07to support their right to to build on for next year is to
00:03:10solidify the idea that security and community security are everyone's responsibility, not
00:03:14a responsibility placed solely on the police themselves. It is a collective responsibility, the responsibility
00:03:17of institutions, the responsibility of the police, and the responsibility of the citizen. From here, we also want
00:03:22responsibility and that preserving to talk about the development that we are planning for
00:03:24next year, which is to build on the idea that the police also have
00:03:28and it is a false pretext community councils, and we would like the Palestinian Television
00:03:32to host
00:03:34Facebook page, Palestine This community police that targeted a group of and community councils, and even specialized police
00:03:37departments in this matter
00:03:40to introduce them. The idea of community councils exists in
00:03:45to Haifa" and "Men of almost all governorates, more seek treatment there, cannot than 200 councils, consisting
00:03:48that enable us, of members of influential local councils,
00:03:51young men and women, reformers, women,
00:03:55and then we distribute it to people from and civil society organizations. We would like civil society
00:03:57this reservoir, which will be with organizations to also contribute more energy to these
00:04:01In Palestine this morning. councils, which also promote preventive protection, so that before problems
00:04:07homes in or social phenomena turn into crimes or societal problems, we can also
00:04:11address this issue. Specifically, in areas that the police
00:04:15soon, God willing. and construction permits. and the Palestinian Authority cannot reach, and these this bazaar
00:04:17steadfastness and survival in are also areas that need special attention, how can we collectively
00:04:21try as much as possible
00:04:24to strengthen the relationship with the citizen, improve the service, and be able
00:04:28available, thank God, in to provide the required services, because these are services
00:04:32They are creative in provided by every institution, regardless of whether it is
00:04:34do, whether it's in police, a justice sector institution, or civil society institutions. So the idea is how
00:04:37can we try as much as possible to strengthen trust in this
00:04:41We are required in citizen, provide them with the required service, and improve this service
00:04:44by all institutions? It is very important to build trust with the citizen between
00:04:48government institutions, specifically the police, and
00:05:05Hiba, yes, we are talking about this Sarada, specifically from Ain
00:05:09Most of the outpatient clinics in gas, and stun grenades Sarada, where memory meets the land. From
00:05:10of there, the Ain Al-Balad initiative They came here, the settlers came starts, a story of land and
00:05:11following us in this segment of belonging, with the participation
00:05:14of local community institutions and youth to revive Arab
00:05:18Environment Day by introducing Ain Sarada and raising
00:05:21awareness about the importance of protecting water
00:05:25sources. Yes, such youth and institutional
00:05:28initiatives are very important to preserve these
00:05:32important places, specifically water springs, and these
00:05:35initiatives were carried out on Arab Environment Day.
00:05:40report with colleague Faten.
00:05:44In Palestine, every spring of water has a story, and every stone
00:05:47and piece of land has a memory that tells the history of the place
00:05:51and the human belonging to it. From Ain Sarada, we will
00:05:54meet today with an environmental
00:05:56and community initiative titled Ain Al-Balad: A Story of Land
00:06:00and Belonging. An initiative that brings together official
00:06:03and community institutions, youth, and volunteers
00:06:07to revive Arab Environment Day
00:06:09and highlight the importance of Ain Sarada
00:06:13and preserving its natural and historical
00:06:16heritage. From Ain Sarada, we will accompany the participants on
00:06:19a field trip to learn more about the history
00:06:23of the spring and also clean its surroundings and raise
00:06:26awareness about the importance of protecting water sources
00:06:30and Palestinian natural sites.
00:06:42To learn more about the quality of Ain Sarada water, we will
00:06:46be joined by the representative of the Water Authority, Engineer
00:06:49Alaa Al-Masry. Welcome, welcome. Good morning to you all, and greetings
00:06:53to all dear viewers. God willing,
00:06:56this will be a good event to establish
00:06:59people on the land here. We are looking for every drop
00:07:03of water that is our right, God willing, because this land is ours and the water
00:07:06is ours, and we are here with you in this
00:07:10nice event, God willing, and we will benefit and enjoy ourselves, God willing.
00:07:14Yes, regarding Ain Sarada water, are there
00:07:17future plans to reclaim
00:07:20it and convert it into water that can be used
00:07:23or drunk? Our direction in the Palestinian Water Authority
00:07:27is to benefit from all available water sources.
00:07:32the Israeli side
00:07:35water. Unfortunately, the Israeli side
00:07:39imposes its control over 85% of water sources.
00:07:43It prevents us from digging
00:07:46the Western Basin, and it prevents us from benefiting
00:07:49from our water basin. Jordan takes it all
00:07:53for itself, so we are looking for every drop of water to reclaim
00:07:56and benefit from, God willing. Regarding
00:08:00Ain Ma' Sarada, has it been tested
00:08:03to see the percentage of water quality in it, or
00:08:06its reclamation, or its use by animals,
00:08:09or grazing, or for irrigation or agriculture?
00:08:13The water quality of Sarada is, I expect, used for
00:08:16agricultural purposes and for watering animals
00:08:20and other purposes. I
00:08:23don't have
00:08:26readings for the spring. There are readings, but
00:08:29it could be excellent quality
00:08:32and could benefit many crops in
00:08:35the area. Are there future plans, as you are a representative
00:08:39of the Water Authority, for natural water springs
00:08:42in Palestine to be reclaimed and made suitable
00:08:45for drinking? Of course, we don't leave any
00:08:49spring that we can reach without benefiting from it. We build
00:08:52reservoirs, we build pumping stations, we build chlorination
00:08:55stations so that the water is suitable
00:08:59for drinking for citizens. We build an upper
00:09:02reservoir, we pump to it, we collect the water coming out of the spring,
00:09:09chlorination and the water quality will be
00:09:15Yes, is there historical and water importance to Ain Ma' Sarada
00:09:18in the past? Of course, there is. This spring
00:09:22is old, and it is, unfortunately,
00:09:25threatened by settlement
00:09:28and some settlers, unfortunately, try
00:09:31to establish their control over it, but this
00:09:34land, this spring, has historically existed
00:09:37in Sarada, and in the past, it was the only
00:09:41spring for
00:10:21To learn more about the importance of Ain Sarada for Sarada Municipality and Abu.
00:10:27We will be joined by the former Mayor, Mr. Muhammad Abdullah
00:10:30Bazzar. Welcome. Welcome, welcome.
00:10:33First, tell us more about the historical
00:10:37importance of Ain
00:10:38Sarada.
00:10:41The historical importance
00:10:44of Ain Sarada or Ain Al-Balad, as they call it in
00:10:48Sarada,
00:10:49is
00:10:53an essential, strategic location in
00:10:56the history that
00:10:59preserves a very
00:11:03important historical
00:11:05site in the establishment of the town or the existence
00:11:08of the town. It is known that
00:11:12according to the wisdom that says, "Wherever there is water, there is life,"
00:11:16so the existence of this spring in this particular area, with
00:11:20a group of nearby springs, represents
00:11:22a point of attraction for the existence
00:11:25of a human residential gathering
00:11:28in this area since ancient times, since
00:11:31history.
00:11:34Historically, this area
00:11:37has been rich with a noticeable
00:11:39population, and
00:11:42it has
00:11:46antiquities and in historical
00:11:48books that this area, which
00:11:52history, has existed since
00:11:55the Byzantine and ancient Roman
00:11:59periods, and also the same thing, it could be
00:12:03that there was human existence before these
00:12:08the Islamic historical period, it is also
00:12:11referred to as the area of Sarada or the town of Sarada as being
00:12:15affiliated with the Jerusalem Brigade,
00:12:17and there is documentation in this regard
00:12:21in the Sharia Court documents in Jerusalem,
00:12:25indicating the existence
00:12:28of residents in the Jerusalem area and its administrative
00:12:32and tax affiliation
00:12:34to the Jerusalem Brigade area as well.
00:12:37What is the importance of this type of social initiatives
00:12:41for preserving the environmental
00:12:44the town? Of course,
00:12:47our connection to the land and our connection to
00:12:49or our steadfastness on the land and our connection to history are very
00:12:53important that we have to revive
00:12:57the awareness and enhance the
00:13:00awareness among the new generation
00:13:03and future generations, God willing,
00:13:06so that we can show them and explain to them that this area
00:13:10is historically Arab and Islamic,
00:13:13and our roots extend thousands of years through history,
00:13:18existence represents
00:13:21belonging and represents increasing awareness, or even
00:13:25we represent our belonging,
00:13:27and we focus and strengthen our belonging. We must
00:13:31strengthen the level of awareness and raise the
00:13:34informational level among the young generations
00:13:38and future generations, God willing. Yes, what are the main challenges
00:13:41you face in Ain Ma' Sarada in the municipality of Sarada and Abu
00:13:45Qash? Well, the main challenges
00:13:48include the existential challenge,
00:13:52meaning that this
00:13:55land is ours, and our roots extend in this land
00:13:59throughout history. So the main existential challenge is the existence
00:14:03of the occupation. This is the first challenge. The second
00:14:05challenge is the lack of or insufficient
00:14:09financial resources
00:14:13with the relevant and concerned parties, to
00:14:16update or restore
00:14:19the area around the spring
00:14:22and highlight the ancient archaeological
00:14:26foundations in it and the historical and archaeological landmarks
00:14:30so that there is a point of attraction and drawing
00:14:33for visitors and for those
00:14:35interested in historical and archaeological matters. Yes,
00:14:39and strengthening the idea of Palestinian
00:14:42the town. Yes, this is essential, meaning
00:14:45strengthening steadfastness and existence. This is a given, meaning
00:14:48it is a foregone conclusion, because our roots are from here,
00:14:52and we belong to this land, and this land is ours
00:14:55in the past, present,
00:15:20To learn more about the initiator of the Ain Sarada initiative, we will
00:15:24be joined by the Vice President of Sarada Club.
00:15:27Welcome, greetings. Welcome. You have honored the town.
00:15:31Introduce yourself. Amjad Taha, Vice President of Sarada
00:15:34Club. First, can you tell us how the idea
00:15:37of reviving this type of initiative on Arab Environment Day
00:15:41came about? Today, we, at Sarada Club, organized this
00:15:45event at the main spring of the town, specifically in the Old
00:15:48Town, to celebrate Arab
00:15:51Environment Day and highlight the history of the spring in
00:15:54Sarada town, especially after settler
00:15:57herds raided the spring.
00:16:00So today, we gathered school students, university students, in cooperation with
00:16:03the Environment Quality Authority, the Water Authority, Sharek Youth Forum, the school, and
00:16:08the town's residents. We carried out this initiative to clean
00:16:11the spring, learn about its history, document it, plant trees in it,
00:16:15and learn about the Old Town to highlight
00:16:18the history of the spring and the history of water for the municipality of Sarada
00:16:21and Abu Qash, which contains many springs. What was the reason for choosing
00:16:25Ain Ma' Sarada in particular? Ain Ma' Sarada was specifically
00:16:28chosen because it is located in the middle of the Old Town,
00:16:31and it
00:16:34is, after the road between us and the Jilazoun refugee camp, the steadfastness camp, was opened, it is
00:16:38the only outlet for the camp and their water source.
00:16:42has no water and it is cut off frequently, so it has become a water source
00:16:46for the Jilazoun refugee camp, the steadfastness camp, and the open outlet
00:16:50for the town and the camp. And specifically,
00:16:53the main spring of the town in the Old Town was chosen.
00:16:56What is the message you would like to convey through
00:17:00this initiative? We send a message to the relevant
00:17:03authorities and stakeholders to restore the spring, document its history,
00:17:07enhance initiatives in it, involve students and schools,
00:17:11document the history of the spring, create internal paths, and increase
00:17:16the town and the Old Town,
00:18:48The Ain Al-Balad initiative is a story of land and belonging, not just a volunteer
00:18:52day to clean around the spring. It is a message that confirms
00:18:56that protecting the environment is a collective
00:18:59natural and heritage sites is also preserving
00:19:02our Palestinian memory and identity. Between the footsteps
00:19:06of volunteers and the drops of water that carry the stories
00:19:09of ancestors, Ain Sarada remains a witness to the belonging
00:19:13of man to his land and to the will
00:19:15of a society that strives to protect its heritage and pass
00:19:19it on to future generations. From Ain Sarada was our story
00:19:23today, a story of land, water, and belonging. And from
00:19:26the oil and za'atar manakish from the town
00:19:29of Sarada and Abu Qash, Faten Al-Assi was with you, Palestine
00:19:33TV. Yes, dear viewers, from
00:19:36Sarada, we move on to Biddu. In the context
00:19:40of the demolition policy that affects Palestinian
00:19:44Jerusalem and its surroundings, occupation forces began
00:19:47this morning to demolish two homes in Biddu, northwest
00:19:51of occupied Jerusalem, after storming the town
00:19:54and forcing the owners of the homes to evacuate
00:19:57their contents, in a step that brings back
00:20:00to the forefront the suffering of Jerusalemites with the
00:20:03occupation's measures. To talk more about
00:20:06the details of what happened this morning
00:20:10in Biddu. Yes, Dalal, we will talk about more details about the demolition
00:20:13of two homes in Biddu. We are joined
00:20:17by the Mayor of Biddu, Mr. Salem Abu
00:20:20Eid. Good morning,
00:20:23Mr. Salem. Can you tell us about the details of what happened in the town
00:20:27of Biddu, the storming and demolition of two homes, and were
00:20:31the homes inhabited by residents? Tell us
00:20:34more about what happened. What
00:20:37is happening and the demolition is still ongoing now, and there is
00:20:40gunfire,
00:20:44on the citizens. Hundreds of citizens were martyred. The
00:20:47army, accompanied by a number of settlers,
00:20:50the settlers themselves
00:20:54for the homeowners. The number of houses
00:20:57is five, two of which
00:21:01have full permits, and there is no court order
00:21:04for demolition, in addition to a residential
00:21:07building that houses more than nine families.
00:21:11These families will be displaced. Yes,
00:21:14Mr. Salem, to confirm what you said,
00:21:17more than two houses were demolished in the town
00:21:21of Biddu at dawn today. Five houses, five,
00:21:25including a residential building, as you mentioned. Yes.
00:21:28Yes, yes. Jerusalem
00:21:30and its surroundings are always targeted by the Israeli
00:21:34occupation, Mr. Salem. Let's talk about the residents
00:21:37who were in these houses. Do you have any
00:21:40idea about, an initial idea about
00:21:44the number of residents, what their fate is after being forced to evacuate
00:21:47the houses? The number of residents, the number
00:21:50of residents is 100 people.
00:21:54They have no other shelter
00:21:57be displaced, knowing that some houses received
00:22:01demolition orders and went to court to defend
00:22:04their lands, their properties, and their homes. But
00:22:07the rest, meaning, during
00:22:11the conversation between the citizens and the homeowners
00:22:15the army, the army would say, "In war,
00:22:18I know there is no order, but I will demolish." Yes, there is no
00:22:22court order, but I will demolish. These are procedures that are
00:22:25affecting citizens and are restricting the village
00:22:31and residents, and preventing the village from expanding.
00:22:35This is from one side. From another side, I mean, the official
00:22:40the official position, and I am a former mayor.
00:22:45lawyers, they don't respond. We call the Wall Ministry, they don't
00:22:48respond.
00:22:50You know that the occupation pays no attention to any international
00:22:54law or any official positions.
00:22:58This state considers itself above the law and
00:23:01does not prevent these ominous voices that are... Yes, Mr. Salem, I would
00:23:05like to ask you, did the owners of these
00:23:09houses receive demolition orders before?
00:23:12They received demolition orders and went to court, and some of these
00:23:16orders succeeded. They succeeded, meaning they got
00:23:22a decision, meaning. Okay, Mr. Salem,
00:23:25you talked about the houses of Egyptians, about their arrogance
00:23:28and their destruction and the destruction
00:23:31of the Palestinian people and their infrastructure,
00:23:34and there are no elements
00:23:37of steadfastness that I am talking about, from the official Palestinian
00:23:41position, there is nothing for this area, even though
00:23:44when I was a former mayor, I attended three
00:23:48ministers in order to strengthen steadfastness.
00:23:51Mr. Salem, you know the diplomatic
00:23:54and official efforts, but this brutal
00:23:57occupation that harvests lives and confiscates
00:24:00land, what can we
00:24:03do with an occupation that takes lives, confiscates
00:24:07land, targets humans, trees,
00:24:10and stones?
00:24:12This occupation does not distinguish between trees, stones, or
00:24:16humans, and it is with the termination and abolition of the
00:24:28But there are elements and enhancers of steadfastness, you know, if you
00:24:31see and witness here hundreds
00:24:35of pale faces, women crying,
00:24:38children screaming, all of that, I mean,
00:24:42these are the sounds of the bulldozers, which you probably heard in the studio.
00:24:46These bulldozers are hitting our minds, our hearts.
00:24:50Yes, this is what the occupation always does, specifically
00:24:54in the occupied Jerusalem areas, with demolition
00:24:57operations and demolition orders, in addition
00:25:01to preventing construction
00:25:04We always hope for the end of this occupation and the end of this
00:25:08policy carried out by the occupation against our citizens.
00:25:12Thank you very much, Biddu Municipality member,
00:25:15Salem Abu Eid, for all these details. Thank you for the steadfastness
00:25:19of our people in Jerusalem and its surroundings. They are always
00:25:21targeted by the occupation army and the occupation state.
00:25:25This eternal capital will certainly
00:25:28return to the Palestinian people, and we will raise
00:25:31the Palestinian flag on the walls and gates of Jerusalem, God
00:25:35willing, and the occupation will be gone. Dear viewers, we
00:25:38continue. We go with you to the heart of the Egyptian capital,
00:25:41Cairo. There, under the title
00:25:44"Heritage We Preserve, Identity
00:25:46We Live," the story is renewed
00:25:50through an event that combines authenticity and belonging.
00:25:55bazaar, which aims
00:25:58to highlight the diversity of Palestinian
00:26:02heritage and preserve cultural heritage as an integral
00:26:05part of national identity and the memory of future
00:26:10bazaar in this report with colleague
00:26:14Nidal
00:26:15Al-Natur.
00:26:25From the heart of Cairo, the Palestinian
00:26:27story continues through embroidery threads
00:26:30and identity symbols. Products carry
00:26:34the features of the land and memory. Today, I greet you from
00:26:38inside the Agriculturalists' Club
00:26:40to cover the activities of the Palestinian
00:26:43Bazaar.
00:26:49The slogan raised was "Unbreakable steadfastness
00:26:52and unconquerable will." This is what you see,
00:26:56that our steadfastness, we are 80 years old,
00:26:59the Palestinian community here, from the people of '48
00:27:02and '67, and our displaced sisters
00:27:06from Gaza, they represent this word of steadfastness.
00:27:09Steadfastness is strength, that they overcome the crisis and overcome
00:27:15their families
00:27:18the memories that are gone, that they continue, start anew,
00:27:21and create small, diverse projects.
00:27:25Not just Palestinian food, or oil, za'atar,
00:27:28and olives. No, there are wonderful artistic creations.
00:27:32Frankly, this indicates that we are a strong and steadfast
00:27:35people, and we are not easily defeated. The importance of such
00:27:39activities carries
00:27:44especially since we are talking about communities,
00:27:47most of whom were born outside Palestine. Therefore,
00:27:51the moral aspect of this matter is the connection of these communities
00:27:54to their heritage, their customs, their traditions, their remembrance of Palestine,
00:27:58their remembrance of the mother narrative of Palestine.
00:28:02Heritage components were never only for display,
00:28:05but rather for entrenching Palestinian identity
00:28:08for new generations. The other aspect or the other important
00:28:14is the economic empowerment of families
00:28:18with medium production,
00:28:20which must be supported by empowering them through these projects.
00:28:24Today, this space opened by the Women's Union for all
00:28:28women coming from the Gaza Strip during
00:28:31the historical community residing in Egypt,
00:28:35they try to help their families through these activities,
00:28:39and at the same time, there is a very important identity goal, which
00:28:42is to consolidate Palestinian identity and Palestinian heritage
00:28:46among future generations.
00:28:49What distinguishes the exhibition are Palestinian products on Egyptian
00:28:53lands, so all
00:28:56Egyptians come, and we are with all unions here at the level of 27
00:28:59governorates. They will come, God willing, and attend
00:29:02the exhibition. They are amazed by the Palestinian
00:29:05products, because we, I mean, we are very
00:29:09proud of Palestinian products and the Palestinian people and the people of Palestine, because
00:29:13we are one, so we always host you here because this
00:29:16is your country, and this is an honor for us. All the products available
00:29:19are handmade and high quality, and I always encourage
00:29:23Palestinian products, and we are always with you in the
00:29:26Agriculturalists' Club. We are honored by your presence, and really,
00:29:29it's a very special day and a very special exhibition with its products and the people
00:29:33in it, and we are honored to be with
00:29:37Palestine and Palestinian products on a beautiful day, of course, in the
00:29:40Agriculturalists' Club, the home of all agriculturalists of the whole
00:29:42republic, and for the fifth year, and I hope
00:29:46I hope this exhibition will visit us in Alexandria, at the Syndicate of Farmers in Alexandria.
00:29:50They are welcome, it's their place. We are very honored to cooperate with
00:29:53you in making Palestinian kaak and maamoul with healthy products.
00:29:57I make za'atar and dukkah at home, and spices,
00:30:00all of them are, of course, Motaqa products, meaning
00:30:04with care, and all of them are healthy, thank God.
00:30:07We have olive oil and we have, well, Palestinian things
00:30:10that are in demand by the public. I hope that
00:30:15continues. And for those who came,
00:30:18for the Palestinians who actually came
00:30:22after the devastating war on October
00:30:257, 2023,
00:30:29they also showcase their creativity, honestly.
00:30:34their work, in the things they
00:30:37food, textiles,
00:30:39embroidery, and so on. This bazaar
00:30:43truly embodies a very important Palestinian heritage
00:30:46and identity. This heritage, this
00:30:50identity, and Palestinian folklore, which our fathers
00:30:52and grandfathers have sown over thousands of years, entrenches this
00:30:56saying: the saying of the land, the saying of the people, the saying of
00:30:59history, and the saying of geography. It is Palestine. With its olive
00:31:03oil, with its za'atar, with its clothes, with its keffiyeh,
00:31:06with the embroidered dress, with its food
00:31:09and drink. All of this is showcased by the bazaar, and the bazaar
00:31:12also, in fact, includes our brothers and
00:31:15sisters from Egypt, from here. And I saw,
00:31:19I was very happy with the Egyptian brothers and sisters
00:31:22who are keen to attend this
00:31:25bazaar, because it truly
00:31:28relationship between the Palestinian and Egyptian people. We are on
00:31:32Egyptian land, great sister Egypt, which
00:31:36exerts all its effort at all
00:31:39times and in all eras. And we must
00:31:42be aware of Palestinian
00:31:45heritage. Culture and identity must remain
00:31:49present so that the Egyptian
00:31:52people and the Egyptian citizen know
00:31:55this culture and that it will not disappear, and that we are
00:31:58here, and that, God willing, we will liberate our land in
00:32:02Palestine. Today, we must convey our Palestinian
00:32:05narrative through all means, whether
00:32:09cultural and media means or means related to heritage, identity,
00:32:13and society. This is one of the essential pillars that
00:32:16transmits our national and Palestinian narrative, and that we are people of a cause.
00:32:20We are people of civilization and history,
00:32:23present, we were, and we still are, and we will remain, despite all
00:32:27challenges and despite all pain and suffering. But whoever looks
00:32:30at the faces, whoever looks at this great national,
00:32:34human, cultural, and intellectual effort, says that this people
00:32:37will not be defeated, this people will not be broken, this people
00:32:41will remain steadfast, will remain rooted in its land until it establishes a state.
00:32:57This is our third participation with the Women's Union at the bazaar. This is the
00:33:01third consecutive year. We are always keen to be
00:33:04present at the bazaar and with the participation of the Palestinian
00:33:07Women's Union. This great event, I mean,
00:33:10especially since the Dabke gives a signal
00:33:13and gives Palestinian heritage,
00:33:16not just engravings or embroidery or, no,
00:33:20Palestinian Dabke must also be present in an event like
00:33:23this. Also, Yafa Troupe
00:33:26is keen to be present in any Palestinian event taking place in
00:33:30Egypt, to spread Palestinian heritage, to spread Palestinian identity,
00:33:34and to say that we are still here, and Palestinian identity
00:33:37is still ongoing, and still keen
00:33:39to.
00:33:49Welcome, dear viewers. From Cairo to Tunis,
00:33:54the cultural and artistic scene,
00:33:58festivals and events hosted
00:34:01by Tunisian cultural institutions
00:34:04to continue
00:34:07the Palestinian people and their national rights. Yes,
00:34:13events and festivals in Tunisia,
00:34:18the Palestinian people and continuing
00:34:22freedom and self-determination.
00:34:25More details in this segment with colleague Hayat
00:34:28Bin Hilal.
00:34:32I am Yamna Al-Loumi, Secretary of the Youth and Adults Library
00:34:35in Meghrine. I will send a greeting to
00:34:39Palestine. Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
00:34:42It honors me, madam, to be here in the precincts of
00:34:46your blessed television station. To beloved
00:34:49Palestine, a fragrant greeting from proud Tunisia,
00:34:52from green Tunisia, a symbol of loyalty and generosity,
00:34:56to beloved Palestine, a symbol of steadfastness
00:34:59and growth. Good morning, Al-Aqsa, good
00:35:03morning, Egypt, Messenger of God (peace be upon him). From
00:35:06my heart and from my soul, good morning, gate
00:35:10of history and glory, and dawn
00:35:12of Islam. When I talk about Palestine,
00:35:16I talk about a world, about a heaven, about
00:35:19a homeland, about a beautiful homeland, and about a love that never
00:35:23dies. I am here among you, honored
00:35:27by your kind invitation, and I hope
00:35:30to provide you with some of what memories offer from
00:35:33a shared dream in culture between Tunisia
00:35:36and Palestine. As for the Public Library for Youth and Adults
00:35:40in Meghrine, we have conducted several activities
00:35:42concerning the Palestinian cause. And the Palestinian
00:35:46cause must talk about women.
00:35:49And here, women, abused women. We have
00:35:52every year in November,
00:35:5616 days, 16 days
00:36:00of combating violence against women. Here, we invite
00:36:03specialists in social sciences
00:36:06law and also in social sciences.
00:36:10We touched upon the suffering of women, but we will not
00:36:14forget Palestinian women. The suffering of Palestinian
00:36:17women. So we invited
00:36:20women from Palestine, where they presented
00:36:24their experiences and their suffering
00:36:30work, and also in Palestine, then
00:36:34their arrival in Tunisia to continue their journey.
00:36:37We do what we can, for example,
00:36:42World Book and Copyright Day, for example, we
00:36:46introduce
00:36:50a writer or poet from Palestine and we study
00:36:53them and we do
00:36:56as a librarian, meaning
00:36:59in the library,
00:37:03we always hold an exhibition
00:37:06of books for the celebrated person. Then we hold
00:37:09a lecture or a reading workshop
00:37:12by children, meaning we invite
00:37:15children to
00:37:19study it and then we turn those
00:37:22readings into a collection, as
00:37:26they say, of summaries. For example, Mrs.
00:37:29Moghames helped us a lot during the month
00:37:32of heritage, where she held an exhibition of traditional
00:37:36crafts and also we, well,
00:37:39we say we hold
00:37:43exhibitions of traditional crafts from
00:37:45Tunisia, and also it is an honor
00:37:48for Palestine, meaning we invite
00:37:51people to
00:37:54traditional crafts and also
00:37:58traditional foods from Palestine. And this year,
00:38:01we are developing the themes every
00:38:05year. For example, last year
00:38:09we only had exhibitions.
00:38:12This year, in 2026,
00:38:15during the month of heritage, which is from May 14 to 15,
00:38:18we conducted practical workshops.
00:38:22We brought, of course, artisans
00:38:25who did pottery or drawing or
00:38:29clay or, I mean, models, meaning
00:38:32direct things that children do.
00:38:36We also, for example, Mrs.
00:38:39here introduced Palestinian embroidery.
00:38:43We have Najat Al-Bakri, the first writer who wrote about
00:38:46Palestine in the form of diaries, and she married
00:38:49a Palestinian. Her book,
00:38:53"My Steps in Palestine,"
00:38:55there are many
00:39:00that talked about these topics. We also have Mrs.
00:39:04Massoud Abu Bakr. Gaza, Gaza,
00:39:07diaries of a troubled pulse.
00:39:11Palestine to Palestine, its name is to
00:39:13Palestine, the epic of the Tunisian Palestinian
00:39:17struggle. We also have, as you can
00:39:20see in the pictures, the Palestinian Encyclopedia,
00:39:24and I am very proud of it. It contains all the cities
00:39:29history. These are writings, and even
00:39:32children have
00:39:35read them and summarized them and loved them very
00:39:39much. There is also a collective book about Gaza,
00:39:43"Gaza: Voices of Solidarity from Tunisia." Ibrahim Nasrallah's
00:39:46writings all talk about Palestine.
00:39:49Abd al-Rahman Munif's writings, these are, well, we talked about Tunisians.
00:39:53We also have a large collection of
00:39:57Abd al-Rahman Munif's writings,
00:40:00one of which is "A World Without Maps."
00:40:03We have Ghassan
00:40:06Kanafani. All his writings,
00:40:09and I mention "Returning
00:40:13the Sun." If you want, we can talk
00:40:16about Tunisian poets who also talked
00:40:19about Palestine. We have Adam
00:40:22Fathi and Adel El Hammami, who
00:40:24has 70 meetings on the Palestinian
00:40:27cause under the slogan of resistance poetry. We carried
00:40:31out, as we say, things
00:40:35that will soon be in the library,
00:40:38including resistance poetry, which will be in the library
00:40:43On World Copyright Day,
00:40:46we will host writers from Palestine to
00:40:49share their experiences, and we
00:40:52have their books
00:40:56our library. We will also visit the Palestinian
00:40:59embassy and organize parallel activities
00:41:02with the event, with Land Day, meaning the library
00:41:06will move.
00:41:09libraries to either hold activities on
00:41:12site or visit other
00:41:16different places to introduce
00:41:19our activities. And God willing, we will finally
00:41:22deal with women's rights, women's right to a safe
00:41:26environment, and that is a project that will be with
00:41:29the Women's Union, meaning here we will bring
00:41:33Palestinian women closer, meaning there will be a group
00:41:38women whom we will honor
00:41:40for their struggle, for their writing, for their
00:41:44creativity in all fields. And we will seek
00:41:47assistance from the Palestinian embassy to introduce
00:41:51these figures, who, God willing, will add to
00:41:54the literary field
00:41:57in Tunisia. We address everything
00:42:00that concerns architectural
00:42:03heritage as well as tangible
00:42:07and intangible things.
00:42:10Here we also
00:42:13the genocide that happened in Palestine
00:42:16and what happened to the landmarks and Palestinian
00:42:20cities. Here we
00:42:22did
00:42:26with the books that are in our collection,
00:42:29we unfortunately
00:42:32made a map and placed the books
00:42:36in each region of Palestine. Then
00:42:38we talked and told the children, "Is this
00:42:42country still existing? Where
00:42:45did it disappear? Where are these landmarks?"
00:42:49These events
00:42:52affected the children, and they also supported
00:42:56and conducted research
00:42:58and
00:43:00learned about what the Zionist
00:43:04colonizer did in
00:43:08beloved Palestine. I love it very much,
00:43:12it is beloved Palestine. We also
00:43:16held a book fair,
00:43:18and we hold it every year. But in
00:43:212024, thank God,
00:43:24the Palestinian cause was
00:43:28our main concern. On the first day,
00:43:30we addressed certain topics. The second
00:43:34day was also workshops,
00:43:37inventions, and many
00:43:40other things. But here,
00:43:43day, we addressed the Palestinian cause
00:43:47with the awareness of Professor Hassan Al-Alawi, who
00:43:50is the head of the Literature Club in Meghrine.
00:43:53I thank him very much. We did
00:43:56something
00:43:59new and innovative, which is
00:44:02the Palestinian flag. We talked
00:44:05here, we wrote a collective story,
00:44:08a collective
00:44:11story that we wanted to be optimistic.
00:44:14This story
00:44:17the flag. The flag that has
00:44:20the black color, then white,
00:44:22then green. The story
00:44:25began with pessimism
00:44:27and with the actual events. We don't say
00:44:30pessimism, but with the bitter reality that Palestine
00:44:34is going through. The mother,
00:44:37the daughter, and the grandmother talked
00:44:40about this suffering. So it was
00:44:43a realistic beginning, then after that,
00:44:47events developed. So we decided,
00:44:50meaning this group, it was three groups,
00:44:54three groups. We decided, and each one presented
00:44:58information or writing,
00:45:01then we gathered them, and there was hope. So the
00:45:05flag became, according to the perspective of, meaning
00:45:08a new vision. And everyone, according to the world, the flag became
00:45:12from pessimism to optimism. The flag became the green
00:45:16color, then white, then black, and that is
00:45:18a symbol of hope that we all
00:45:22hope will be green,
00:45:25the greenness of hearts and the greenness
00:45:29of crops that we hope
00:45:32will be in Palestine, just as it is
00:45:47the last stop of our "Palestine This Morning" program, and to
00:45:50the live window from Qalqilya, where attempts
00:45:53to close the hospital of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
00:45:57(UNRWA) continue, amidst fears
00:45:59of the decision's
00:46:03repercussions and attempts to close it on the health
00:46:06services provided to refugees, given that
00:46:10a wide segment of them relies on the agency's
00:46:13services. Yes, we are talking
00:46:16about attempts to close the agency's hospital
00:46:19and also to close vital departments amidst
00:46:23the financial crisis that UNRWA
00:46:26is going through.
00:46:29topic with our colleague Ahmed Shawer,
00:46:32who joins us from there. Ahmed, good morning to you.
00:46:36Please update us on the latest developments and attempts to close
00:46:41the only one in the West Bank.
00:46:46Good morning to you, good morning to our viewers wherever they are
00:46:51the internal and external environment of
00:46:54the agency's hospital in
00:46:58the West Bank, and perhaps in the world. This service
00:47:02provided to the refugee community by
00:47:05the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
00:47:07is only in the city of Qalqilya in this
00:47:11form, as a hospital. And today we are talking about
00:47:14attempts to close it after years of
00:47:18reducing services and not renovating
00:47:22facilities and not hiring medical staff.
00:47:27and this medical and historical edifice, which
00:47:31also represents a political aspect
00:47:34in our Palestinian cause, faces the risk
00:47:37of inevitable closure and not
00:47:41providing full service
00:47:43in this region, not only
00:47:47for Qalqilya Governorate, but also for all
00:47:50the country for hundreds of thousands of refugees
00:47:52who rely on it as an official body to provide
00:47:58topic and its details with
00:48:00the head of the Popular Committee for Refugee Services, Mr. Abdul
00:48:04Rahim Jabr. Welcome to us. Good morning to you and good morning
00:48:07to the viewers. We are talking about a new
00:48:12is facing,
00:48:14and a real danger that residents are starting to feel
00:48:18of a complete closure to
00:48:21refugees in providing medical services, and perhaps its transformation
00:48:25into mere clinics for medical
00:48:28consultations. Let's, I mean, let's update the viewers on the latest
00:48:33regard.
00:48:35And is there a real danger and to what
00:48:41citizens and refugees? Good morning,
00:48:43Ahmed. Yes, there is Palestinian
00:48:47refugees. Initially,
00:48:50the decision so far
00:48:53is unwritten. It's an oral decision that the Department of Refugee Affairs was informed
00:48:56that the Commissioner-General decided to close the agency's
00:48:59hospital. Before, it was under the pretext of financial deficit,
00:49:03and before that, due to medical errors, we can
00:49:07improve the quality of services. Now,
00:49:10the Commissioner-General is saying
00:49:13that the agency's hospital is empty
00:49:16and has no occupancy rate, and refugees do not go
00:49:20to the hospital for treatment, so they are maneuvering
00:49:23until now. The real danger
00:49:27is present. As you know, it is the only
00:49:30hospital in the West Bank.
00:49:34hospital, as you see, is supported
00:49:37by the Qalqilya Municipality, the local community, and donors.
00:49:41UNRWA only provides salaries for employees.
00:49:45It is indeed an operating staff, only
00:49:48employee salaries. The hospital's
00:49:51annual budget is 3 to 4 million dollars, which is a very
00:49:55UNRWA to operate
00:49:58the hospital. Medicines are donations from donor
00:50:02countries. Medical equipment is mostly from donor
00:50:06countries, donations. There is a fund in Qalqilya Municipality to support
00:50:09the agency's hospital.
00:50:12Donors from the local community and from the West Bank are supporting it.
00:50:16Therefore, the agency only manages employee salaries,
00:50:21for the Commissioner-General to close
00:50:24the hospital. The real health disaster is that Darwish Nazzal Hospital,
00:50:28which is the only government hospital in Qalqilya
00:50:31Governorate, and its capacity to accommodate
00:50:34patients who
00:50:37handle it. The medical staff there is exhausted.
00:50:41Yes, and they cannot perform baby procedures or
00:50:45emergency procedures. Therefore, there will be
00:50:48overcrowding at Darwish Nazzal Hospital.
00:50:52Many people come to the agency's
00:50:55hospital and indeed relieve pressure on the health
00:50:58system. From the beginning of the year until now, approximately
00:51:0230,000 citizens sought treatment in the emergency
00:51:05department of the agency's hospital, and surgical operations
00:51:08also, from the beginning of the year until
00:51:12now, approximately 3,000 operations
00:51:15were performed by the agency's hospital. If the hospital
00:51:18is closed, these simple numbers will be transferred to Darwish Nazzal.
00:51:22And therefore, there is no place for them, and this will
00:51:26lead to popular anger, it will lead to social
00:51:29problems, it will lead to, I mean, the decision does
00:51:33not only include the closure of services. It will reflect
00:51:37on a large segment of society in terms of problems, whether
00:51:40economic problems or social problems. Of course.
00:51:44We are talking about providing medical services at the agency's
00:51:48hospital, and it is not limited to Qalqilya city and Qalqilya
00:51:51governorate. Sometimes, people from Al-Fawwar refugee camp,
00:51:55from Jenin refugee camps, from all governorates of the country receive
00:51:58medical services, right?
00:52:02the refugee camps refer medical cases
00:52:05to Qalqilya Hospital for surgical operations.
00:52:08And if you go to the surgery
00:52:12many refugees from the camps staying now
00:52:16in this hospital. Yes, it serves a wide segment nationwide.
00:52:20Indeed. So, we are talking about the
00:52:23other aspect, not the medical one.
00:52:27The hospital represents a Palestinian
00:52:30case that arose due to
00:52:33a political circumstance, the circumstance of displacement
00:52:36and refuge. By what right and for what reason
00:52:41file, while the file is still open?
00:52:45Of course, it is due to American pressure to end the issue
00:52:48of, to end the issue
00:52:50of the agency.
00:52:53As happened currently, as is happening in Gaza,
00:52:56they found an alternative to the Security
00:52:59Council, and they want to gradually end the issue
00:53:03of the agency. Of course, the danger
00:53:11health services to citizens, but also to dismiss
00:53:14employees, dismiss the staff.
00:53:17In the agency's hospital, there are approximately 90 employees.
00:53:20Therefore, this is the first political decision taken by UNRWA
00:53:24in the West Bank, and it concerns
00:53:27two aspects: providing services
00:53:29and assisting refugees, which is the mandate for which
00:53:33the agency was established, which
00:56:54They left nothing untouched that they didn't destroy. And the olive
00:56:58with the olive trees. I mean, it's not just once today, they've been messing
00:57:02olive trees.
00:57:15at night, at 1:30 AM.
00:57:27at night, they didn't care about them or anything. They broke everything
00:57:30and took everything. These are the ones I still have left in my life.
00:57:33هذول اللي ظلين عندي في حيت.
00:59:17in our land here.
00:59:52The olive harvest, around 30 to 40 families come for it.
00:59:56You wait for its provision, you wait for its sustenance.
00:59:59May God make it easy for someone. They have tried everything.
01:00:03They left nothing
01:00:28A news brief from Palestine TV. Welcome. A citizen
