The developments in occupied Jerusalem, the situation of Palestinian freedom fighters in Israeli jails, and the war in Ukraine were highlighted on the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today.
Al-Ayyam daily said in its main front-page story that an Israeli policeman was injured from stabbing and the assailant was detained.
The paper also reported on confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli occupation forces in Hebron, demolitions in the Jericho area, and settlers breaking into Sabastia archeological site in the north of the West Bank.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida daily highlighted the situation of the Palestinian freedom fighters battling for their rights in Israeli prisons and said that the prisoners have called on the Palestinian people to support them before they embark on their hunger strike, which is planned to take place on March 25.
The third daily, al-Quds, highlighted the war in Ukraine and said in the main headline that despite tactical attacks, there is a standoff on the war fronts.
The paper also published several other stories related to the war and its repercussions.
It said in one related story that Ibrahim and his wife Victoria escaped the war in Ukraine to Gaza. Ibrahim Saidam, said the paper, has lived through three Israeli wars on Gaza. He was studying in Ukraine and married Victoria, a Ukrainian. When the war broke out in Ukraine, he decided to return to Gaza and be with his family, whom he did not see since 2017. He still hopes, said the paper, to return to Ukraine when the war ends to complete his studies and for his wife to see her family again.
On the local news, al-Quds said that hundreds of Palestinian residents of Jabal al-Mukabber neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem demonstrated outside the West Jerusalem Israeli municipality’s city hall in protest against the demolition policy of their homes.
It also published a story about a Palestinian woman in her 80s from the village of al-Zawiyeh in the Qalqilya district who battles the Israeli restrictions and the apartheid wall to reach her land behind the wall in order to keep planting it and taking care of the land despite the difficulties of getting there.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has called on Singapore to recognize Palestine in support of the two-state solution.
It also said President Mahmoud Abbas congratulated his Tunisian counterpart on the national day and other world leaders on the Nowruz holiday.
Al-Ayyam quoted the Ministry of Finance saying that for the second time in one week, a US court dismissed a $900 million lawsuit against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) filed in the United States.
It also said 13 deaths and 574 new cases related to Covid-19 were recorded in Palestine in four days.
