  • Turkey transfers Ottoman archives to the PA to counter “Israel’s” land claims - Quds News Network

    http://qudsnen.co/?p=10542

    Ankara (QNN) – Turkey has given a copy of Ottoman-era archived documents to the Palestinian Authority (PA) to help Palestinians legally counter the Israeli occupation’s land claims, according to Hebrew news sources.

    The archives include tens of thousands of land registries from the Palestinian territories under the Ottoman Empire’s control between the years 1516 to 1917.

    “Lawyers from the PA are already using the materials in the archive, in order to undermine Israel’s claim on land around Israel,” and especially in occupied Jerusalem and West Bank, according to “Israel National News.”

    Turkish authorities delivered the archives to representatives of the PA in Ankara last year and a part of the archives was later transferred to Bethlehem.

    Though the documents in the archives have the potential to shake up the occupation state’s real estate market, nothing has happened so far, it said.

    But lawyers from Jerusalem’s Arab neighbourhoods are regularly turning to the archive to find documents that help them in legal battles over claims to many properties, mostly in the Jerusalem area, “Israel National News” said.

    • Israël a tué 32 de mes amis

      J’ai rencontré al-Dahous pour la première fois quand il est venu faire la peinture de ma maison.

      C’était il y a environ un an. Je lui avais été présenté par mon cousin Muhammad Ashour, un décorateur d’intérieur.

      Ibrahim était très réservé. Ce n’est qu’après deux jours de travail chez moi que je l’ai entendu parler.

      Tout en étant un silencieux, Ibrahim pouvait aussi être très drôle. Quand il sortait une blague, tout le monde autour de lui se mettait à rire.

      Il a fallu à Ibrahim et à mon cousin environ une semaine pour peindre ma maison. Au cours de leur dernière journée de travail, nous avons eu une conversation à propos de l’importante offensive d’Israël contre Gaza, durant l’été 2014.

      J’ai été stupéfait quand Ibrahim m’a dit qu’Israël avait détruit sa maison qui venait d’être construite au cours de l’été.

      Et il a été stupéfait quand je lui ai dit que depuis la deuxième Intifada – éclatée en septembre 2000 -, Israël avait tué 31 de mes amis.

      « Je pourrais bien être le numéro 32 » a-t-il dit.

      Le propos n’aurait pas porté à rire, si ce n’avait été la façon dont Ibrahim l’a prononcé. Et je n’ai pas pu arrêter mon fou rire.

      Cela était typique d’Ibrahim. Son sens de l’humour était sombre.

      « Tant de rêves »

      Tragiquement, son propos s’est avéré prémonitoire. (...)

    The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that its medical teams have dealt with 55 injuries, 29 of which were by live bullets.

    Thousands of peaceful protesters flocked to the borders of Gaza to protest under the title “remove Oslo accords from our history” and demanded to end the Israeli siege on Gaza and allow refugees to go back to their homes and lands, from which they were expelled in 1948.

    Local sources said that Israeli forces, stationed behind earthen berms and inside military towers opened fire at protesters and showered them with tear gas.

    Les autorités israéliennes se prépareraient à la possibilité que les élues du Congrès Ilhan Omar et Rashida Tlaib visitent le mont du Temple à Jérusalem lors de leur déplacement dans le pays, a rapporté mercredi la Treizième chaîne.

    La date précise de leur venue n’a pas été confirmée, bien que le site d’information Axios ait indiqué mercredi qu’elles arriveraient vendredi.

    D’après la Treizième chaîne, une « réunion secrète » sur le sujet a eu lieu récemment au Conseil de sécurité nationale israélien, dirigé par le conseiller adjoint à la sécurité nationale, Reuven Azar. (...)

    Netanyahu appears poised to block Omar, Tlaib from entering Israel ahead of a planned weekend visit

    JERUSALEM — A forthcoming trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories by Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) will possibly be blocked by Israel in its current proposed format, a senior Israeli government official told The Washington Post on Thursday.

    Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, the official said that if Tlaib, an American of Palestinian heritage, made a special humanitarian request to visit her family in the occupied West Bank, then “it would be considered favorably.”

    Omar and Tlaib, who have both been outspoken critics of Israel and support a boycott movement against the country, are slated to arrive Sunday. Their trip is being planned by Miftah, a nonprofit organization headed by Palestinian lawmaker and longtime peace negotiator Hanan Ashrawi.

    Denying entry for Omar and Tlaib would likely deepen the divide between the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Democrats, who have privately said such moves are not emblematic of a country that prides itself as a democracy tolerant of political expression.

    Israel May Backtrack on Allowing Omar, Tlaib to Enter Over BDS Endorsement

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may decide to bar Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering the country for a visit they are expected to begin on Saturday, Israeli officials told Haaretz.

    The officials said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations on Wednesday with the country’s foreign minister, interior minister, National Security Council chief and attorney general, but has yet to decide.

    A senior Israeli official familiar with the deliberations said that at the moment, Netanyahu is weighing denying a political visit by the two, but may allow Tlaib — who has family in the West Bank – enter in order to see her relatives there.

    The Washington Post reported Thursday that Netanyahu’s government informed congressional leaders, who are currently in Israel, that it would formally announce the two would be denied entry due to their support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
