Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The Israeli Channel 12 said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a scheduled visit of an Israeli delegation to Washington after the United States did not use its veto against a Security Council resolution on Gaza that the Council issued today (Monday). Netanyahu considered that “America’s failure to use its veto power during the Security Council vote that called for a ceasefire is a clear retreat from its previous position.”

Israel confirmed that Washington's refusal to use its veto to thwart a resolution adopted by the Security Council calling for an "immediate ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip "harms the war effort and efforts to release the hostages." A statement issued by Benjamin Netanyahu's office added that “in light of the change in the American position, the Prime Minister decided that the delegation (which he announced was sending to Washington at the request of US President Joe Biden) would not leave” Israel, according to what was reported by Agence France-Presse.

For its part, the White House announced that America's abstention from voting on the resolution on the ceasefire in Gaza does not represent a shift in American policy. White House spokesman John Kirby said: “I will discuss with the Israelis whether they will come to Washington or not.” He added: “We are very disappointed that the Israeli delegation did not visit Washington in order to hold comprehensive talks on Rafah,” according to the Reuters news agency.

A Pentagon spokesman said that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is still planning to meet his Israeli counterpart Yoav Galant tomorrow (Tuesday) in Washington. Hamas welcomed the Security Council's call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, according to the Arab World News Agency. Today (Monday), the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced its welcome of the Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during the month of Ramadan and the release of detainees, and said that it must be “permanent and sustainable.”

In a statement, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry described Security Council Resolution 2728, which was approved today, as “a step in the right direction to stop the war and Israel’s exit from Gaza.” She added that international efforts must be intensified to establish a permanent and sustainable ceasefire that extends beyond the month of Ramadan, and to secure the entry of international aid into the Gaza Strip to prevent the continuation of the disaster and famine, and to work immediately to release prisoners, detainees and detainees, and prevent forced displacement. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry called on the member states of the Security Council to implement the resolution immediately. The European Union welcomed the Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan.

Today (Monday), France urged work towards a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after the Security Council adopted for the first time a resolution calling for a truce during Ramadan. The French Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Nicolas de Rivière, said: “This crisis is not over. Our council will have to continue its actions and return to work immediately. After Ramadan, which ends in two weeks, he will have to establish a permanent ceasefire.”

After more than five months of war, the UN Security Council adopted today (Monday) its first resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, and the United States abstained from voting. The resolution, which was supported by 14 members and one abstention, “demands an immediate ceasefire during the month of Ramadan,” which began two weeks ago, provided that it “leads to a permanent ceasefire,” and “demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.”

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that any attack on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza would threaten to impose “greater isolation” on Israel and harm its security in the long term. Blinken added to reporters as he left Israel that he had “frank conversations,” referring to his meetings with officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He stated that any ground military operation in Rafah "risks killing more civilians. It also raises the risk of causing greater destruction of humanitarian aid. It threatens to impose greater isolation on Israel around the world and jeopardize its long-term security and standing." Netanyahu, for his part, said that he informed Blinken on Friday that Israel intends to launch a military operation on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, even without the support of the United States. Netanyahu said after his meeting with Blinken: “There is no way for us to defeat Hamas without entering Rafah and eliminating its remaining brigades there,” adding, “I told him that I hope to do so with the support of the United States, but if necessary, we will do it alone.” The city of Rafah in southern Gaza houses more than a million Palestinians who took refuge there due to the Israeli bombing and invasion of the Strip. He added: "I told him that I really appreciate the fact that we have been standing together in the war against Hamas for more than five months. I also told him that we realize the necessity of evacuating civilian populations from war zones and of course meeting humanitarian needs as well, and we are working to achieve this goal." For its part, the US State Department said that Blinken stressed during his meeting with Netanyahu today the necessity of protecting civilians in Gaza and continuing humanitarian aid through land crossings and sea routes. Blinken also discussed efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement for at least six weeks that would ensure the release of prisoners and increase humanitarian aid, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement. The United States has been pressuring Israel for weeks to refrain from invading Rafah, whose population has risen to one and a half million people, according to the United Nations, with the influx of displaced people there from the devastated areas in the north and center, for fear of a humanitarian catastrophe. Blinken said Thursday that it was “a mistake” to carry out an Israeli operation in Rafah, adding, “There is a better way to deal with the continuing threat posed by Hamas.” Washington, the most prominent supporter of Israel politically and militarily since the outbreak of the war, also repeatedly criticized it due to the restrictions imposed on the entry of humanitarian aid and the heavy human toll on civilians in the besieged Palestinian enclave. Blinken arrived in Israel earlier today on his sixth tour in the region since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip on October 7. Blinken visited Saudi Arabia and Egypt this week as part of his regional tour to discuss efforts to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Today, the United Nations Security Council failed to issue a draft resolution proposed by the United States stressing “the utmost necessity of reaching an immediate and sustainable ceasefire in Gaza,” after Russia and China used their veto power against it.

Episode “Burning the Royal Palace” from the summary channel... Know the story from the beginning @SummaryEgypt

Updates on British affairs presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, confirmed that she had begun the first stages of treatment after tests revealed that she had cancer. In a video statement, Princess Kate said that she had experienced a “huge shock” after “two very difficult months.” But she expressed her optimism through a positive message, saying: “I am fine and getting stronger every day.” Details of the Princess of Wales' cancer have not yet been revealed, but Kensington Palace in London says it is confident that the princess will make a full recovery. Princess Kate explained in the video that she had abdominal surgery last January, and she did not know that she had cancer. She added: "But the tests conducted after the operation showed the presence of cancer, so my medical team advised me that I should undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of this treatment." Princess Catherine said that she is thinking of all those who have been afflicted with cancer, sending a message of support to all those affected, saying: “To everyone who faces this disease, in any way, please do not lose faith or hope, you are not alone.”

Princess Catherine indicated that it took her a long time to recover from the surgery she underwent last January, due to her medical condition that was not disclosed, stressing that her priority now is to reassure her family. “William and I have done everything we can to address and manage this privately for our little family,” she added. The Princess explained: “We took some time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that was appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I would be okay.” She said the family now needs "some time, space and privacy."

Catherine and Prince William are not expected to appear with the royal family on Easter, and the princess will likely not return to her official duties any time soon. Kensington Palace said Prince William's sudden absence from a memorial service in late February was due to the discovery of Catherine's cancer diagnosis. The couple has faced a wave of widespread speculation and controversy on social media about the princess's health since she underwent surgery in January, especially since she has missed all official events since Christmas. In her statement, Princess Catherine spoke about the support provided by the family, saying: “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance as well,” adding: “As with the love, support and kindness shown by so many of you, it means a lot to me.”

Kensington Palace said the video of the princess was filmed on Wednesday by BBC Studios, the BBC's production arm. BBC News said in a statement: “Along with other media outlets, BBC News has seen the Kensington Palace statement this afternoon.”

For his part, Britain's King Charles III said on Friday that he was "very proud" of his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, for her "courage" in announcing that she had cancer, according to a Buckingham Palace spokesman. The king was receiving treatment in a London hospital last January, while Kate was also there recovering from surgery. Since then, the King has remained in "close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law over the past weeks," a Buckingham Palace spokesman said. The spokesperson added that both King Charles and Queen Camilla "will continue to offer their love and support to the entire family during this difficult time." Kate Middleton announced, in a video clip, that she had cancer, and doctors discovered the disease during “major abdominal surgery” last January, according to a statement issued by Kensington Palace in the British capital, London. The Princess of Wales said: “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and it was thought at the time that my condition was not cancerous.” She added, "The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation showed the presence of cancer."

The end of Al-Duwairi on Al-Jazeera and the revelation of the Rafah trap for Israel and America threatens

New Al-Aqsa Flood presented by this episode of Samri Channel.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken began his sixth visit to the Middle East since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, where he arrived in the city of Jeddah to hold talks with senior Saudi officials. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement that Blinken will discuss in Jeddah and Cairo the mediation efforts being conducted by Qatar and Egypt between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel, as well as the efforts made to deliver more aid to Gaza. The US State Department also announced that Blinken will visit Israel on Friday as part of his Middle East tour, after he visits Egypt. Israel was not initially on the agenda, but a US State Department spokesman confirmed that Blinken would go there to hold talks with Israeli officials.

The American minister's visit comes after indirect talks between Hamas and Israel resumed in the Qatari capital, Doha, the day before Monday, for a ceasefire in Gaza and the exchange of prisoners. Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari confirmed that the talks had resumed in all their tracks, and stressed that any attack on Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe and would negatively affect reaching an agreement in the ongoing negotiations. Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip for more than 5 months, leaving tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, amid warnings from international organizations of famine - especially in the northern Gaza Strip - as a result of the occupation restricting the entry of aid.

The United States is the main supporter of Israel in its war on Gaza, politically and militarily, as it used its veto in the UN Security Council several times to block resolutions calling for a ceasefire, and also supplied the Israeli army with thousands of tons of weapons and ammunition.


On the other hand, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, rejected the request of the occupation prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to speak before the Democratic bloc and address them. The British newspaper The Guardian reported that Schumer rejected a request from Netanyahu to address lawmakers on Wednesday, noting that Schumer told reporters: “When you make these issues partisan, you harm the cause of Israel.” According to the newspaper, Schumer explained that “this debate should not take on the character of partisan alignment, and it is not in Israel’s interest.”

According to Fox News, Netanyahu asked to speak virtually with Democratic senators, and Schumer refused, saying that “the discussion should take place between the two parties” (Republican and Democratic). For his part, the Republican leader in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, commenting on Netanyahu’s speech to the Republican members, said, “It is better for our policy that no democratic ally should provide advice about when the elections will be held, about who should run the government, or how to run the campaign.” "Military". An informed source said that Netanyahu will deliver a speech to Republican senators via closed-circuit television during their weekly political lunch, today, Wednesday, days after the Democratic leader in the Senate delivered a speech in which he strongly criticized Netanyahu.

Members of the US House of Representatives from the Republican Party held a closed meeting today, in which they discussed several issues, including the US administration’s position on the aggression against Gaza, affirming their support for “Israel.” House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters: “I spoke at length this morning with Netanyahu, and reiterated to him the Republican senators’ steadfast support for Israel and their ongoing efforts (to approve the financial support package), and expressed to him my strong disagreement with Schumer for his statements last week.”

Egypt's dollar reserves will reach $90 billion with the entry of Saudi investments into Egypt and a surprise in the real estate market

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THVu-UqX7ks
Updates on Egyptian economic affairs presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Goldman Sachs amazingly revised its forecasts for the future of the Egyptian budget from a deficit of about 13 billion dollars to a financing surplus of more than 26 billion dollars over the next four years. With expectations that foreign exchange reserves will rise to more than $60 billion by the end of 2027. The Investment Bank attributed the major change in its vision to the Ras El Hekma deal that Egypt signed with the UAE, the subsequent International Monetary Fund agreement at the staff level, and the subsequent announcement of a group of investments. Direct, which will change the overall picture of cash flows in foreign currencies to Egypt, with the exception of the continued widening of the current account deficit.

The current account is referred to as the indicator that measures the difference between exports and imports of goods, services, raw materials and other exported products, which can provide hard currency for the country, in addition to the difference between remittances and financial flows to and from the economy. It excludes funds invested in assets and financial market investments.

A current account deficit occurs when a country's payments for providing goods and services are greater than its revenues from them during the measurement period. Goldman Sachs said, in a note prepared by analyst Farouk Soussa, that the presence of much stronger external financing sources, along with a larger financing package from the International Monetary Fund and its partners, will mean a surplus in external financing of up to $26.5 billion over the next four years. This compares favorably with expectations of a financing shortfall of $13 billion by Goldman Sachs before the latest developments. However, he expected the current account deficit to widen compared to previous expectations, with imports rising at a faster pace, only partially offset by an increase in remittances from Egyptians abroad.

It is expected that the deficit will expand to 2.5% of GDP by the end of 2027. Sousse expected that foreign direct investment into Egypt this year alone will reach more than $33 billion, and will rise faster than previous expectations as the overall situation stabilizes and investment in new projects recovers. . He also expected the return of investment portfolio flows this year, especially in the local market via hot money, or what is known as “Carry Trade.”

Widening trade deficit: While a decline in the official exchange rate may at first glance call for enhancing competitiveness and narrowing the trade balance, Goldman Sachs believes that the opposite is true for the following reasons: First, “there has been no effective devaluation of the currency due to marginalization.” "The extreme use of the official rate and the widespread use of the parallel rate for foreign currency transactions over the past two years." The second reason is related to the continued strengthening of the pound in the coming weeks and months against the backdrop of strong foreign currency inflows.

Increased availability of foreign exchange would ease major constraints on import growth. Goldman Sachs also expects that increased foreign investment (especially in the real estate sector) will boost domestic demand in the medium term. We also expect strong growth in exports (with improved access to imported raw materials and components) but this will only partially offset import growth given the small volume of exports.

In its latest forecasts, Goldman Sachs believes that remittances from Egyptians abroad will witness a strong and sudden rise with the decline in the value of the pound and the rise in interest, to compensate for much of the widening trade deficit. Goldman Sachs pointed to the accumulated goods, which were estimated to be worth between $5 billion and $10 billion, according to local investment banks. Goldman Sachs believes that the current year may witness spending about $7 billion for this purpose, which is reflected in the outflow figures in current account or capital account payments.

Russia storms the Ukrainian front lines and reveals a disaster in American aid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62HbCwyPmcI?si=-PP3Y0L8BGa9aFGk
New information about the Russian-Ukrainian war presented by this episode of Samri Channel.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has warned that NATO countries are not supplying Ukraine with “enough ammunition,” which has allowed Russian forces to make recent gains on the ground.

"The Ukrainians are running out of courage. They are running out of ammunition," Stoltenberg said during a press conference. After more than two years of war, the Ukrainian army is suffering from a shortage of weapons and is in need of ammunition and air defense systems to confront the advance of the Russian army. "NATO allies are not providing enough ammunition to Ukraine, and this has consequences on the battlefield every day," Stoltenberg said.

He added, "This is a major challenge and is one of the reasons why the Russians were able to achieve some progress on the battlefield." "The United States, Canada and Europe must do more and we need long-term commitments," continued Stoltenberg, who continues to urge allies to do more for Ukraine. He stressed that the problem does not lie in the lack of capabilities in the defense industries, but rather is a matter of the “political will” necessary “to make decisions and prioritize our support to Ukraine.”

Fears of Ukraine's retreat on the ground against Russia due to a lack of weapons have increased in recent weeks. At the end of February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Western allies to deliver military aid to his country “on time.” An aid package worth more than $60 billion requested by President Joe Biden's administration is still stuck in Congress due to a dispute between Republicans and Democrats. However, on Tuesday, the White House announced $300 million in aid to Ukraine. It includes, in particular, anti-air missiles, ammunition and artillery shells. Meanwhile, European Union countries on Wednesday reached an agreement to add 5 billion euros to the military aid fund for Ukraine.

In the same context, John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council at the White House, announced that the Ukrainian armed forces fighting in the Donbas had run out of ammunition, forcing them to retreat. “They (Ukrainian forces) are running out of ammunition in Donbas, and now they are retreating to the second and third lines of defense,” Kirby said on ABC TV. “They [the Ukrainians] need support.”

Last February, the US Strategic Communications Coordinator stated that Kiev needs Western air defense systems during the winter to protect its military industrial complex from Russian missile attacks and marches. Pointing out that "the purpose of the Russian attacks is to try to deprive the Ukrainians of the ability to independently produce many of the ammunition they need for self-defense."

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said last February that the lack of military support from the United States threatens to run out of artillery ammunition and air defense systems for the Ukrainian forces. Austin also described the assessments that the Russian military is “continuing pressure and making gradual progress” as “extremely worrying.” ".

For her part, Dutch Defense Minister Kaisa Ollongren announced that her country will allocate 250 million euros to purchase artillery ammunition for Ukraine. European countries also intend to raise $1.5 billion to supply Ukraine with artillery shells from other countries under a plan proposed by the Czech Republic, according to the British newspaper “Financial Times.” Western countries, through the material, military and political support they provide to Kiev, seek to obstruct the goals of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, but Moscow has stressed on more than one occasion that military operations in Donbass will not stop until all the tasks assigned to it are achieved.

Russia also earlier sent a memorandum to NATO regarding arms supplies to Ukraine. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that NATO countries were "playing with fire" by supplying Ukraine with weapons and ammunition.

The Egyptian army is preparing to protect Sinai, and Sisi threatens... after America declared its support for Israel in Rafah militarily.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzUM536vQ-A?si=eTLgeqNFi5IkQI-n
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.

The American newspaper "Politico" published a report stating that the United States of America secretly told "Israel" what type of Rafah operation it could support. The American report stated, “Senior American officials told their Israeli counterparts that the Biden administration will support Israel in pursuing high-value Hamas targets in and below Rafah, as long as Israel avoids a large-scale invasion.” Citing military intelligence from high-ranking White House and administration officials, “some key members of the Biden team doubt that Israel aims to conduct a major military operation in Rafah soon.”

A Defense Ministry official said, according to the newspaper: “They will have to do some repositioning of forces, and this has not happened, and it is not imminent.” Three days ago, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, “Washington has not received from the Israeli government a plan regarding Rafah,” indicating that the US administration’s position is that “we should not go south and complicate human suffering.”

Miller added, in a press conference, that “Washington’s position is that entry into Rafah should be based on a clear plan to deliver humanitarian aid,” noting that “in the absence of that, the responsibility falls on the Israeli side to provide what was requested of it by the American administration.” He pointed out that "the temporary port has emerged as another way to deliver humanitarian aid, given that the crossings are not yet safe," he claimed.

The US State Department spokesman confirmed that his country supports "Israel's right to defend itself, and is awaiting receipt of the details of the Israeli plan regarding the upcoming Rafah operation." It is noteworthy that US President Joe Biden confirmed on Saturday that he will never abandon “Israel”, in a new indication that reveals the extent of the contradiction of the American positions regarding Gaza, and the extent of Washington’s support for the aggression against the Gaza Strip despite some of the “statements of a humanitarian nature” that it has made. Every now and then.

In an interview with MSNBC, in response to a question about whether the Israeli military operation in Rafah would be a red line for him and Netanyahu, Biden said, “It is a red line, but I will never abandon Israel.” . The contradictory American statements reveal the extent of American hypocrisy, which is evident in the American administration resorting to humanitarian headlines, at a time when it could end the suffering of the residents of the Gaza Strip, by pressuring the occupying entity to stop the aggression, and freezing its military and financial aid to the occupation “army” that causes this suffering and continues. Carrying out genocide against the residents of the Gaza Strip.

Bin Salman and Bin Zayed.. Competition is heating up | Saudi Arabia issues a warning to American companies and ignites the anger of the Emirates

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4wnHyUtnL0
Updates on Saudi affairs presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The British newspaper, the Financial Times, said that “dozens” of multinational companies “responded to the Saudi ultimatum” by opening regional headquarters in the Kingdom, otherwise they would have faced “the loss of lucrative government contracts,” but it indicated that leading banks and service companies did not take this step.

In 2021, Saudi Arabia announced the regional headquarters program and gave companies until January 1, 2024 to open regional headquarters on its territory, and the Saudi decree had already entered into force by this date. The Saudi “regional headquarters programme” is widely seen as an attempt to compete with Dubai in the neighboring UAE. Riyadh defines the regional headquarters of a company as “an office that provides support, management, and strategic direction to its branches and subsidiaries in the Middle East and North Africa region,” according to the Ministry of Investment.

The Financial Times, citing the Saudi Ministry of Investment, reported that 350 international companies complied with the Saudi decree, including PepsiCo, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Unilever, and Eli Lilly. Consulting and auditing companies dealing with the Saudi government took a similar step. “We took it very seriously,” said an executive at a global consulting firm. “It is life or death for us.”

The Ministry said that licenses for regional headquarters are issued at a rate of 10 licenses per week. But major banks such as Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and HSBC have not yet announced that they will do so, and major financial services companies often manage their business in the Middle East within a broader geographic area that includes Europe and Africa, according to the newspaper. Bankers told the newspaper that many lenders are uncomfortable with the regulatory implications of establishing a regional headquarters in the Kingdom. It quoted a senior financier at an international bank: “It is not only about whether you want to employ people in Saudi Arabia, but it is also about what the regulatory framework will be,” considering that Saudi Arabia “was not a financial center.”

Unlike the Dubai International Financial Centre, which is an offshore banking center with its own regulatory framework, the King Abdullah District in Riyadh does not have its own regulatory body, as the Saudi Central Bank and its Capital Markets Authority regulate the banking sector. The Saudi Ministry of Investment said that the Kingdom is working to coordinate and strengthen the framework of the banking sector, and that banks, including Northern Trust, have begun work to open regional headquarters. The ministry also said it was "in final discussions with several other financial entities" to do the same.

In addition to major banks, professional services firms such as law firms and public relations firms are slowly moving toward setting up headquarters there. For many, regional headquarters rules “are formulated more with the mindset of companies that sell products rather than those that sell services,” said Michael Pacey, a director at Albright Stonebridge Consulting Group in the Middle East and North Africa, who advises clients on regional headquarters issues. “Service companies, anyone you put under regional headquarters is not going to generate revenue.”

For its part, the Ministry of Investment said: “It is not about compliance as much as it is about motivating companies to grow, develop and extract value” from investment opportunities in the Kingdom. The Saudi “regional headquarters” plan is part of an ambitious plan to make Saudi Arabia less dependent on oil revenues, by transforming the Kingdom into a center for trade and finance. State-owned companies, which dominate the economy, are set to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on new projects over the next decade, attracting multinational companies to the kingdom.

Israel officially announces its invasion of Palestinian Rafah and breaking the red lines

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvizaaPgMoM
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he intends to move forward with his plans to invade Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, in defiance of US President Joe Biden, who warned that such an attack would be a "red line." Netanyahu added to the American news site Politico that “the red line for him is not to repeat the attack of last October 7,” that is, the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation launched by the Palestinian resistance on the Gaza Strip, which inflicted great losses on Israel. Netanyahu added that Israel is “about to end the last part of the war,” and that the fighting will not take more than two months, “maybe 6 or 4 weeks,” according to his claim. He continued that he did not see any breakthrough in the negotiations with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and stressed that there would be no ceasefire without the release of detainees, which is consistent with the statements of the movement’s leaders that Israel is the one obstructing reaching an agreement to exchange prisoners and detainees. Netanyahu reaffirmed his position on rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, and also said that the overwhelming majority of Israelis after October 7 do not want to see that state, according to his claim, which is the issue that puts Israel in the face of most countries in the world that intensified their calls after the Israeli war on... Gaza to reach a two-state solution. The Israeli Prime Minister promised to return his citizens to their homes in the north, “whether by military or diplomatic means,” he said. Netanyahu indicated that delivering aid by sea to Gaza was his idea, denying the existence of famine in the Strip, despite the death of more than 25 residents of the Strip - including children - as a result of hunger and malnutrition, and the specter of famine looming over most of the Strip’s 2.2 million residents. Netanyahu also directly addressed the recent criticism of Biden, who said in an interview with MSNBC on Saturday evening that the Israeli prime minister was “doing more harm to Israel than good” by the way he managed the war in Gaza. Netanyahu responded by saying that he did not know “exactly what the president means,” adding, “If he means that I am pursuing special policies against the majority and against the desire of the majority of Israelis and that this harms Israel’s interests, then he is wrong on both counts.” The American President said the day before yesterday that Netanyahu is harming Israel by not making more efforts to avoid the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, in light of the widening gap between the two parties.

Ramadan war Israel is planning a devastating war on the Egyptian and Lebanese borders and the failure of the port operation on the coast of Gaza

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ--2u87exM?si=T3uq9MnVvE2lGXT6
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
In his annual State of the Union address, US President Joe Biden called for an “immediate six-week ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas. He said in his speech that “Israel cannot use aid as a secondary consideration or a bargaining chip,” stressing that “protecting and saving innocent lives must be the priority.” He added that he directed "the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary dock in the Mediterranean Sea on the coast of Gaza to receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters," stressing that "there will be no American forces on the ground." He added, "This temporary dock would allow a huge increase in the amount of humanitarian aid arriving in Gaza every day." At the same time, he urged Israel to do its part by "allowing more aid to enter Gaza, and to ensure that humanitarian workers are not caught in the crossfire... protecting and saving innocent lives must be a priority." Biden reaffirmed that “the only real solution is the two-state solution... as there is no other way that guarantees Israel’s security and democracy, and there is no other way that guarantees the Palestinians to live in peace and dignity, and there is no other way that guarantees peace between Israel and all of its Arab neighbors, including Saudi Arabia". Stressing that "creating stability in the Middle East also means containing the threat posed by Iran." He stressed that the past five months have been painful for many Israelis, Palestinians, and many in the United States, as “this crisis began on October 7th with a massacre committed by the terrorist Hamas,” as he put it. Biden noted that "1,200 innocent people, including women, girls, men and young people, were slaughtered, many of whom suffered sexual violence, and 250 people were taken hostage," describing this day as "the bloodiest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust." Biden pledged to all families to "return their loved ones to their homes," stressing Israel's right to pursue Hamas. He believes that Hamas can end the conflict by "releasing the hostages, laying down weapons, and handing over those responsible for the events of October 7th." He said, "Israel bears an additional burden because Hamas is hiding and operating among the civilian population, but Israel must bear a fundamental responsibility to protect innocent civilians in Gaza." Biden recalled that this war caused more massive losses among innocent civilians than all the wars that took place in Gaza, “as more than 30,000 Palestinians were killed, most of whom did not belong to Hamas, including thousands of innocent women and children.” He pointed out that "more than two million other Palestinians are living under bombardment or are displaced, with homes destroyed, neighborhoods and cities in ruins... and families without food, water and medicine," describing what is happening as "a heartbreaking matter."

Secretly, without Congressional approval, America sends 100 arms shipments to support Israel militarily, and an infiltration operation shakes the entity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5FPJ4lKLYo
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The American newspaper The Washington Post revealed that the United States has concluded more than 100 arms sales deals to Israel since the start of the Gaza war on October 7, of which only two deals have been announced. According to the American newspaper, which obtained information that it said was “confidential,” the 100 deals include thousands of guided munitions, bombs, armor, small arms, and other deadly weapons.

Only two military deals to Israel have been announced since October 7, the first for tank ammunition worth $106 million, and the second for components needed to make 155 mm shells worth $147.5 million. But in the rest of the deals, known as “foreign military sales,” the weapons were transferred without any public discussion, according to US officials and lawmakers who spoke on condition of anonymity.

These deals are the latest indication of Washington's involvement in the five-month-old conflict, even as senior American officials and lawmakers increasingly express reservations about Israel's military approach, in a campaign that has killed more than 30,000 people, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

These sales have called for public scrutiny, because US President Joe Biden's administration bypassed Congress to approve the deals by resorting to emergency authority. The Washington Post described these deals as a “massive transfer of firepower,” amid complaints from senior American officials that the Israelis ignored their calls to limit civilian casualties, allow more aid into Gaza, and refrain from rhetoric calling for the displacement of Palestinians. “This is an abnormal number of sales in a very short period of time, which strongly indicates that the Israeli campaign cannot resume without this level of American support,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, head of the International Refugee Organization and a former Biden administration official.

In the same context, State Department spokesman Matt Miller said that the Biden administration “followed the procedures established by Congress itself to keep members well-informed and regularly briefed (about the deals), even when formal notification is not a legal requirement.”

He added that American officials “contacted with Congress regarding the sale and transfer of weapons to Israel more than 200 times,” since the Hamas attack on October 7. When asked about the flow of weapons to Israel, some American lawmakers who participate in the committees supervising national security said that the Biden administration “must exercise its influence over the government of Israel.”
America is also considering preventing Israel from using American weapons in a possible attack on Palestinian Rafah
The administration of US President Joe Biden is studying ways to prevent Israel from using American weapons in a possible attack on the Palestinian city of Rafah.

According to a report carried by Sputnik from the media, “The American administration expressed its concern about the occurrence of a critical humanitarian crisis in the city in the south of the Gaza Strip, in the event that Israel launches an attack on it, given the presence of more than a million Gazans, who fled to the south after the war".

According to the report, “Biden and his advisors have not yet taken any decision regarding setting the conditions for the use of American weapons, but discussions about setting such conditions now indicate a growing concern among the American administration about the possibility of such a crisis occurring.”

Also according to the report, “The Biden administration is concerned that Israel’s plan to attack Rafah has not yet ended, and in the aftermath, this attack could exacerbate the difficult humanitarian situation in the Strip without ending the war.”

He pointed out that “there are officials in the American administration who said that they did not receive a clear plan from Israel on how to protect more than a million Gazans who live in Rafah.”

In an infinite toll, the number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip rose to 30,717, the majority of whom were children and women, and 72,156 were injured, while thousands of victims remain under the rubble.
Civilians: Lebanese reports revealed that Israel conveyed a message to Lebanon through Western diplomats that March 15 is the last date for reaching a political settlement, otherwise it is prepared to escalate military operations into a full-scale war.

Dangerous | The Gulf loses control of its oil weapon after the intervention of America, Russia, and Saudi Arabia are monitoring the fate of OPEC Plus

Updates on the oil issue presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Reuters quoted sources as saying that members of the OPEC+ alliance, which made voluntary cuts in oil production in the first quarter of this year, agreed to extend the reduction into the second quarter. Last November, the countries of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, led by Russia, agreed to a voluntary reduction in production amounting to approximately 2.2 million barrels per day in total in the first quarter, which included Saudi Arabia extending its voluntary reduction in production. OPEC Plus has implemented a series of production cuts since late 2022 to support the market amid rising production from the United States and other non-member producers, and concerns about demand at a time when major economies are facing a crisis of high interest rates. Oil prices received support from escalating geopolitical tension due to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea in an expansion of Israel's war on the Gaza Strip, but concerns about economic growth and high interest rates also affected. Brent crude futures for delivery next May recorded $83.55 per barrel last Friday. Saudi Arabia announced the extension of its voluntary reduction of one million barrels per day, which began last July, for the second quarter of the current year, and thus the Kingdom’s production will be approximately 9 million. barrels per day until the end of June of this year, according to what the Saudi News Agency (SPA) reported, quoting an official source in the Saudi Ministry of Energy. The source added that these additional reduction amounts will be gradually restored later according to market conditions. He explained that this reduction is in addition to the voluntary reduction of 500,000 barrels per day, which the Kingdom had previously announced in April 2023, and which is extended until the end of December 2024. For its part, Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) quoted Kuwaiti Oil Minister Imad Al-Atiqi said that his country will reduce its oil production by 135 thousand barrels per day until next June. Al-Ateeqi added, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Oil, that this decision comes in coordination with some countries participating in the OPEC Plus agreement, indicating that Kuwait’s production will remain at 2.413 million barrels per day until the end of June 2024. He stressed that the decision comes in support of market stability, and “These additional reduction amounts will be restored gradually according to market conditions.” The agency quoted Al-Ateeqi as saying, “This voluntary reduction, in addition to the previous voluntary reduction of 128,000 barrels per day that the State of Kuwait previously announced in April 2023, will continue until December 2024.”

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
US President Joe Biden announced that his country would carry out an airdrop of food aid into Gaza, expressing his regret at the slow pace of aid arriving in the Strip. Speaking alongside Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the White House, Biden said that the United States “will do its best to deliver additional aid to Gaza,” and added that aid “is not flowing to Gaza quickly enough.”

He stated that he was working to mediate an immediate ceasefire agreement that would allow additional aid to enter. He said: “We are trying to reach an agreement between Israel and Hamas regarding the return of the hostages, an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for at least the next six weeks, and allowing increased aid to the Gaza Strip.” He added that the United States "will insist" that Israel facilitate the entry of more trucks and add more trucks and roads so that more aid can be delivered to Gaza. Biden added: “We will insist that Israel facilitate the entry of more trucks to provide more people with the assistance they need, without any excuses.”

While speaking alongside the Italian Prime Minister, Biden referred to Ukraine when he meant Gaza. Biden and Meloni also discussed the war in Ukraine, and the Italian Prime Minister was in Ukraine last weekend to attend a video conference of G7 leaders.

Meloni also said she was looking forward to hosting the US president in Puglia, where the G7 summit will be held in June. American officials called on Israel to open additional crossings for aid to enter Gaza, and also explored the possibility of airdropping aid into the Strip. USAID Administrator Samantha Power met on Wednesday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, a US official told CNN.

In another context, the New York Times opened an investigation into independent journalist Anat Schwartz because she liked a post on social media calling for turning Gaza into a “slaughterhouse” and perpetuating false claims that Hamas beheaded 40 infants in its attack on Israel on October 7. . Schwartz had expressed her admiration for posts calling on Israel to execute Palestinians if the hostages in Gaza were not released, and said that Westerners must live in “fear” in order to believe that Hamas is like ISIS.

Schwartz's social media performance history, revealed by a user on the X platform, raised questions about the New York Times' media bias and the reliability of the widely shared and cited report during the Gaza war. “We are aware that a freelance journalist in Israel who worked with The Times has liked several social media posts,” newspaper spokeswoman Danielle Rhodes-Ha said in a statement.

She added, “These likes are unacceptable violations of our organization’s policy, and we are currently reviewing the matter.” It is noteworthy that in December, the New York Times published a lengthy investigative report entitled “Screams Without Words,” detailing a pattern of sexual assaults and rape allegedly committed by Hamas fighters during the October 7 attack. The article was widely shared and cited in the media, but the newspaper began facing criticism for the report soon after it was published.

The statements of family members of one of the alleged victims contradicted the allegations contained in the report, saying that it was not yet known whether a member of their family had been raped, while others completely denied that their relative had been raped. Schwartz's comments raised questions about bias at The New York Times, which fired a freelance photojournalist over his social media posts supporting Palestinian militants.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an0JKivTF0o
Updates on Egyptian economic affairs presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The Egyptian media reported that Egypt had reaped the first fruits of joining the BRICS group after South Africa announced the activation of preferential trade within the free trade agreement with Egypt. Egyptian media reported that Egypt had reaped the first fruits of joining the BRICS group after South Africa announced the activation of preferential trade within the free trade agreement with Egypt. She explained that this matter adds a new chapter of economic cooperation and opens the door to enhancing the volume of trade between Egypt and South Africa, which witnesses great opportunities for cooperation, especially with Egypt joining the BRICS countries this year.

Referring to the official figures, data from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics monitored the development of the volume of trade exchange between Egypt and South Africa, reaching about 217.1 million dollars by the end of 2021, compared to 158.5 million dollars during the year 2020, an increase of 58.6 million dollars, with an increase rate of 37%.

Here, the idea of getting rid of the dollar’s dominance collides with the crisis of reaching an agreement between member states. In the grouping with the aim of issuing a unified currency for the countries of the grouping, which can be relied upon as a currency for the movement of trade or rely on the local currencies of the member states. Brazil supports the idea of ​​establishing a unified currency among the “BRICS” countries, as Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, stressed that launching a currency is an important step. Aiming to challenge global blocs, or the United States of America, he said that the group does not reject the US dollar, but rather seeks to complete trade exchange between its members in local currencies at times. The statements of the Brazilian President are largely consistent with continuous assurances from the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, on The BRICS countries' desire to rely on local currencies in commercial exchanges, and Putin said, "The goal of getting rid of the dollar irreversibly in our economic relations is gaining momentum."

Lavrov said that there is a directive from the heads of BRICS member states issued at last year's summit for central banks and finance ministries to submit recommendations regarding alternative payment methods to Western payment systems until the next summit in Russia, according to the Russian news agency TASS. He added that Brazil actively supports and promotes the launch of alternative payment systems and a unified currency for the BRICS group, adding that the issue of launching a unified currency for the group has little prospects at the present time, but he stressed that there are directives from BRICS leaders at the current stage to consider the issue of launching payment platforms. Uniform. This call was welcomed by South Africa, and neither China nor India have commented so far, and up to this moment no signs of movement have appeared on the ground regarding the unified currency or the prospective payment platform revealed by Russia, but economists have pointed out some difficulties that must be overcome given Due to the economic, political and geographical differences between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, in addition to the newly joined countries in early 2024.

Avikhai Adraei was assassinated... and Al-Nawar is betrayed in the latest plan... and Rafah is preparing for the worst

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLtLYyZ6PfU?si=BnesuKlGK-7e-_fL
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The Israeli website said that the army obtained documents in the city of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, confirming that the leader of Hamas in the Strip, Yahya Sinwar, had obtained a commitment from Hezbollah to open a front in the north. He reported that in a document assessing the situation, Sinwar wrote to his men: “We have obtained a pledge that the axis will participate in the great liberation project given the nature of the relationship we are working on.” In other documents, he reiterates the pledge he received that action in the south will lead to parallel action from the north for which Hezbollah will train under the title “Conquest of the Galilee.”

The site considered that “the Ayatollah in Tehran and Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut disappointed Sinwar. Hezbollah had already advanced with 15 regiments of Radwan forces along the border, from Ras Naqoura in the west to Mount Dov (Shebaa Farms) in the east, and was in a state of "He prepared for an invasion within an immediate time frame. But he also did not know the exact timing of the Hamas operation, and even then the order was not given as quickly as Sinwar would have liked. Then, for several critical hours, IDF forces arrived, most of them in reserve, and held out."

He pointed out that "Hezbollah is content with firing on positions on Mount Dov and trying to exhaust the Israeli army," noting that "in one way or another, (Hezbollah) achieved an achievement represented by the evacuation of the settlements on the contact line and the transformation of more than 100,000 Israeli men and women into refugees." In their country." According to an Israeli source, the reason for avoiding a large-scale war in the north is different, indicating that “Hezbollah’s basic desire is to enter immediately, but Iran restrained it because it knew that Israel would respond with great force, and Hezbollah’s high and dangerous capabilities were not built in Tehran at a cost of a billion dollars annually.” “To act as a force multiplier for Hamas, but as a sharp response in the event of an Israeli attack on the nuclear facilities.”

On the other hand, the Israeli police revealed that an attack occurred a month ago in the city of Raanana, north of Tel Aviv, targeting Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee. According to what was reported by the "i24 News" website, on Wednesday, two Palestinians carried out the attack that occurred on January 15, 2024, and led to the death of a woman and the injury of others, with two ramming and stabbing operations, before the two were arrested. Investigations revealed the specific nature of the attack, as two people working in a car wash in the area were charged, and they seized two cars to carry it out.

During interrogation, it turned out that one of the perpetrators recognized Adraee while he was eating in a restaurant in Raanana. He then tried to locate the Israeli army spokesman, and he was armed with a knife. According to i24 News, one of the perpetrators began the attack by hitting a pedestrian near a traffic barrier before proceeding to steal a car. He was eventually arrested near his workplace, where he sought refuge following the attack. At the same time, the second perpetrator, driving a stolen vehicle, targeted pedestrians waiting at a bus stop on Haroshit Street, killing a woman, before he was arrested after a short chase. According to the website, the quick action of a passer-by, who alerted the security forces, led to the arrest of the perpetrators. Adraee, who speaks Arabic fluently, has an account on the “X” website in which he regularly reports Israeli army news and developments in the war in Gaza, and also broadcasts video clips in which he speaks himself.

A member of the Israeli war government, Benny Gantz, warned that if Hamas did not release all the hostages until the month of Ramadan, the Israeli army would launch a ground attack on Rafah, where 1.4 million Palestinians had gathered. Gantz, a member of the war government, said, "The world should know, and Hamas leaders should know, that if the hostages do not return to their homes by the month of Ramadan, the fighting will continue everywhere, including the Rafah area." “We will do this in a coordinated way, by facilitating the evacuation of civilians and through dialogue with American and Egyptian partners to reduce civilian casualties as much as possible,” Gantz added in a speech he delivered in Jerusalem during the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. He continued, "To those who say the price is too high, I say very clearly: Hamas fighters have a choice. They can surrender, release the hostages, and in this way civilians in Gaza can celebrate the Ramadan holidays." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to confirm his intention to carry out a ground attack in Rafah, despite calls directed at him by part of the international community to withdraw from this plan.

On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed on Sunday his adherence to what he described as a “comprehensive victory” in Gaza, explaining that this victory means the complete destruction of the Hamas movement and the release of Israeli detainees “with or without a deal,” calling for pressure on Qatar. The mediator in negotiations with Hamas to increase its pressure on the Palestinian movement to release Israeli detainees in Gaza, indicating that he has overcome his differences with US President Joe Biden regarding Gaza. Netanyahu said at a conference of major American Jewish organizations in occupied Jerusalem that Israel was able, through the exchange deal concluded with Hamas, during the truce approved last November, to release 110 prisoners, and is awaiting the release of more “through strong military measures and negotiations.” Strict and difficult,” he said. He stated that his government is "in a difficult position" that requires "pressure on those who have influence over Hamas, starting with Qatar, which hosts the movement's leaders and depends on them financially," he said.

He continued: "I hope to reach a deal to reach the release of more prisoners." But he added: "With or without a deal, we must release the prisoners and accomplish the mission of complete victory." He pointed out that he had a "good dialogue" with US President Joe Biden last Thursday, noting that there was a difference of opinion, but that he "was able to overcome it," and added that he agreed with Biden in his demands for "the necessity of protecting civilians." Biden called Netanyahu on Thursday, amid concerns about the lack of significant progress in prisoner exchange talks between Israel and Hamas, and the possibility of the Israeli army launching a ground operation in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, which Washington opposes. The White House said that Biden raised the Israeli operation in Rafah with Netanyahu, and reiterated his view that “a military operation in Rafah should not proceed without a reliable plan that can be implemented, to ensure the safety of civilians in Rafah.”

Netanyahu claimed that the Israeli army was able to destroy three-quarters of the Hamas brigades, adding: “We cannot leave any Hamas military battalion without destroying it.” The Israeli Prime Minister made comparisons between the Israeli army's operations in Gaza and the US army's operation in Manila during World War II, to expel Japanese forces from the Philippines, in which about 100,000 civilians were killed. He also compared his army's operations in Gaza to the operations of the international coalition led by the United States. United States in Mosul against ISIS, claiming that his army “is doing what no other army has done to protect civilians.”

He added, "The United States has completed the work with its allies (against ISIS), and we will accomplish the mission here. We will make sure that civilians have a way out of harm's way," he said. He stressed that Tel Aviv "will not agree to international dictates that seek unilaterally to recognize a state." Palestinian. We are united behind this, and I presented a draft resolution to the government stating that Israel rejects international dictates regarding the settlement with the Palestinians. The Council of Ministers approved it unanimously, and the Knesset will pass it. He said: “This process will take place through direct negotiations between the parties.”

The Governor of North Sinai, Major General Dr. Muhammad Abdel Fadil Shusha, announced that the Armed Forces are establishing a logistical area in the Rafah area to receive aid for Gaza, in order to reduce the burden on drivers and the crowding in Al-Arish and on the roads, in addition to facilitating the work of the Egyptian Red Crescent. The governor stressed that the area being constructed and equipped includes parking areas for trucks, secured warehouses, administrative offices, and accommodation for drivers, and is provided with means of living and electricity.

Shousha also pointed out that the Armed Forces are establishing the logistics zone in Rafah, in order to ease the burden on drivers and the crowding in Al-Arish and on the roads, in addition to facilitating the work of the Egyptian Red Crescent. He also announced the arrival of aid for the Gaza Strip to the governorate by land, sea and air, with trucks arriving to the governorate by land, in addition to the arrival of ships through the Al-Arish sea port, with planes arriving through Al-Arish International Airport.

The governor of North Sinai denied what some media reported about the Egyptian authorities building a security buffer zone surrounded by walls in the Egyptian city of Rafah to receive Palestinians from Gaza, in anticipation of their displacement if Israel launches a ground invasion of Palestinian Rafah. Shousha said in statements to reporters, “What is happening in the regions of East Sinai, specifically in Rafah, is that committees from the governorate inventory the homes and homes that were demolished during the war on terrorism with the aim of providing appropriate compensation to the owners of these homes,” stressing that this process has nothing to do with what is happening in Gaza. The governor stressed that Egypt is prepared for all scenarios if Israel carries out military operations in Palestinian Rafah. It is noteworthy that, according to the United Nations, about 1.4 million people, most of whom were displaced due to the war, are gathering in Rafah, which has turned into a huge camp, and “more than half of Gaza’s population is crowded into less than 20% of the area of the Gaza Strip.” Rafah is also the main entry point for aid from Egypt, which is controlled by Israel. Aid through this port is insufficient to meet the needs of the population threatened by famine and epidemics.

Navalny | Putin gets rid of his fiercest opponents after the Russian army overthrew the last Ukrainian fortress in the Russian war

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqdfOE_fN1Y
New information about the Russian-Ukrainian war presented by this episode of Samri Channel.
On Friday, the Russian Investigative Committee announced that it had launched a procedural investigation into the circumstances of the death of opposition politician Alexei Navalny in a prison. The Russian "TASS" news agency quoted the Kremlin as saying that President Vladimir Putin had been informed of Navalny's death. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed his “deep sadness over Navalny’s death,” calling for all the facts about his death to be known. In turn, European Council President Charles Michel said that Russia is "solely responsible" for Navalny's death. On Friday, the White House considered Navalny's death a "terrible tragedy if confirmed." White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told National Public Radio (NPR) that the Kremlin's "long and sordid" history of harming its opponents "raises real and clear questions about what happened." Latvian President Edgars Rinkevich accused the Kremlin of murdering Navalny, saying: “Navalny was brutally killed by the Kremlin and this shows the true nature of the current regime in Russia.”

For his part, French Foreign Minister Stephane Ségourny wrote on the X platform: “Navalny’s resistance to the repressive regime cost him his life.” For his part, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that the news of Navalny's death was "terrible" and praised the late Russian opposition leader. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described the news of Navalny's death as "very sad." The Norwegian Foreign Ministry also held Moscow highly responsible for Navalny's death. The Russian Prison Service announced the death of imprisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny. The service said, in a statement, that Navalny felt unwell after walking on Friday and lost consciousness, and an ambulance arrived to try to revive him, but he died. Navalny, who was serving a 19-year prison sentence on extremism charges, was transferred in December from his former prison in the Vladimir region in central Russia to a "special regime" penal colony - the highest security level of prisons in Russia - above the Arctic Circle.

In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian army was forced to withdraw from the city of Avdiivka in the east of the country, giving Russia its largest symbolic victory after the failure of the counterattack launched by Kiev last summer, and paving the way for the largest Russian advance since May 2023 when Moscow seized the city of Bakhmut. The region's commander, Ukrainian General Oleksandr Tarnavsky, announced via Telegram on Friday night, Saturday, that "in accordance with the order we received, we withdrew from Avdiivka to pre-prepared positions." Ukraine was forced to abandon the city of Avdiivka, the center of "violent fighting" in the east of the country, which has become largely destroyed, amid a growing shortage of resources and obstruction of American military aid, while Russia reinforced its forces with more elements and ammunition to take control of Avdiivka days before the anniversary. The second annual invasion of Ukraine begins on February 24. Tarnavsky added, "In a situation where the enemy advances by walking over the corpses of his soldiers and has ten times more shells (...), this is the only correct decision." He stressed that the Ukrainian forces thus avoided an encirclement near this largely destroyed industrial city, and that they withdrew to safer locations outside the town.

America secretly supports Israel to launch a military operation in Rafah and sends a huge military shipment for the invasion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGsjS8ORev0?si=mYmmGecL64YE760a
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Israeli War Council Minister Benny Gantz said that even in the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, the war could continue in Gaza, threatening to expand the fighting to Rafah unless they return the prisoners. Benny Gantz explained, saying: “There will not be a ceasefire, even for one day, until the return of our ‘abductees’... In any case, the fighting will continue until our goals are achieved.” Gantz added: “And even in the next month of Ramadan, the fire can continue... Either "Our kidnappers return or we expand the fighting to Rafah."

Meanwhile, Israeli army intelligence confirmed yesterday, Thursday, that even if Hamas is defeated as a regime, it will remain as a “guerrilla war” organization, and eliminating it is an unrealistic goal. Israeli Channel 12 reported that the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, is insisting on his demands during the Cairo negotiations, and that there are no indications of reaching a compromise.


On the other hand, US President Joe Biden confirmed that he held extensive talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent days, during which he urged a temporary ceasefire. Biden told reporters that he made it clear that there must be a temporary ceasefire to get the hostages out. He added: "Talks on a temporary ceasefire and the release of detainees are continuing, and I still hope for their success." When asked about the possible Israeli military operation in Rafah, the US President stated: “I hope in the meantime that the Israelis will not carry out a major ground operation.”


Finally, the Wall Street Journal, citing current and former US officials, reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing to send bombs and other weapons to Israel that will strengthen its military arsenal, even though the United States is seeking to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The newspaper said that the proposed weapons shipment includes MK-82 bombs, KMU-572 joint direct attack munitions that add precise guidance to bombs, and FMU-139 bomb fuses, adding that the value of the shipment is estimated at “tens of millions of dollars.” “. The report, citing a US official, indicated that the US administration is still studying the proposed shipment, and the official said that the details of the proposal may change before the administration informs congressional leaders who must approve the shipment.

The US Departments of Defense and State, the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Israeli Army did not respond to requests from Reuters for comment on the report. Since December 2023, the Biden administration has twice avoided congressional review of arms sales to Israel. The administration has faced criticism for continuing to supply weapons to Israel, with mounting accusations that American-made weapons were used in strikes that killed or injured civilians. The war began in the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), following the movement’s October 7 attack on Israel, which killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took 253 hostage, according to Israeli statistics.

The float is coming The dollar rises again on the black market, and Naguib Sawiris' Orascom sells its assets in Egypt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QpjmThpMVA?si=UgPTVNGrk4rQA5My
New Egyptian economy presented by this episode of Samri Channel.
Bloomberg wrote under the title “5 indicators that may reveal the date of reducing the price of the Egyptian pound”: “Egypt is still mired in a stressful economic crisis that has left its population of more than 105 million people in a state of uncertainty, but one thing seems very certain. This is that a possible devaluation of the pound is on the way. This expected step will be the fourth major round in the journey of devaluing the Egyptian pound since early 2022, and may be the largest yet. If implemented correctly, it may help move closer to justice. On the worst hard currency scarcity crisis the country has witnessed in decades, which may help attract foreign capital to the $400 billion economy and save it from the brink of abyss. $25 billion over the next four years.But the timing of the reduction depends on a range of external and domestic issues, with authorities concerned about the impact of high inflation accompanying the devaluation of the currency on a population already suffering from high prices.

Here are five key themes to monitor:

Bridging the gap between the black and official markets
After the dollar reached a record high of more than 70 pounds in the parallel market earlier this month, the pound witnessed a partial appreciation. With the recent authorities crackdown that forced many illegal currency dealers to close their operations, the rate now ranges between 60 and 65 pounds to the dollar.
Although the parallel rate is still about double the official rate of 30.9 pounds, further cooling of the exchange rate will make it easier to devalue the currency. Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris recently suggested that the authorities try to reconcile the two prices.

Signals from the IMF
The International Monetary Fund has been urging Egypt for months to devalue its currency. This issue is considered a major issue in the talks to reach a new, expanded agreement with the bank and partners that could guarantee Egypt financing of about 10 billion dollars.
Any comment from International Monetary Fund Director Kristalina Georgieva represents a useful indication in studying signals regarding the timing of the devaluation of the Egyptian currency. Georgieva said this month that the IMF and Egypt are in the “final stage” of reaching an agreement, and she described working with Egypt as “a top priority for the IMF” during a meeting with Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly. There may be more signs

High interest rates
Egypt usually devalues its currency in conjunction with tightening monetary policy, a move that seeks to curb domestic demand and attract investment in local assets, by making returns more profitable.
The central bank raised its benchmark interest rate in conjunction with two currency devaluations in 2022, and also raised interest rates significantly less than two weeks before the last devaluation. On February 1, officials raised the interest rate on deposits for the first time since August to 21.25%, the highest level ever, and it is not unlikely that there will be a further increase soon.

Big deals pay off
Egypt has put more than two dozen state-owned assets, from banks to power plants and gas stations, on public auction in an effort to secure foreign currency. Sales have rebounded after a slow start, with Egypt reporting more than $2 billion in revenue in the second half of 2023.
A new major investment could provide the financial support necessary for officials in Egypt to devalue the pound without running the risk of its value falling more than the target. One such possibility involves Abu Dhabi's talks to buy and develop Ras El Hekma, a prime area on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The initial cost of this project has been estimated at $22 billion.

Finally: Ramadan is approaching
One obstacle is that these challenges coincide with the holy month of Ramadan, which is scheduled to begin this year around March 10, which may impose an unofficial deadline for devaluation before then. Ramadan is a time of large family gatherings and extended evening meals, and it is unlikely that the authorities will wait until then to expose Egyptians to a sudden price shock.
It is possible that the government is preparing the population for higher inflation, as it announced last Wednesday an increase in the minimum wage for state employees by 50%, effective next March. It is part of a broader social protection package that authorities say is worth about 180 billion pounds ($5.8 billion).

After Erdogan's visit, will Egypt decide to open the Egyptian border with Gaza to bring in the Palestinians stranded in Rafah?

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Israeli media reported that the government coalition, which it described as “fragile” led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was close to “collapse,” after the two prominent ministers, Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot, discussed withdrawing from the war council, accusing Netanyahu of “alone in making fateful decisions” related to With a possible deal to exchange prisoners and detainees with the Hamas movement.

This comes as the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation "Makan" talks about another front of tension that Netanyahu is waging with leaders in the army and security services, after the Prime Minister sent his own observer from outside the security services to attend the "Cairo talks" with Egypt, Qatar and the United States regarding an exchange deal. Prisoners and detainees are expected with Hamas, in which the head of the Mossad, David Barnea, and the head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, participated.

Gantz and Eisenkot were almost completely excluded from the decision-making process regarding the “Cairo Talks,” whether by the size of the mandate granted to the Israeli delegation, or by preventing the delegation from heading again to the Egyptian capital to participate in a new round of negotiations, according to what was revealed in Israel from information circulated by the media. . The Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed that the two ministers in the War Council, Gantz and Eisenkot, were about to resign from the council and leave Netanyahu’s government, “but they decided to stay, given the developments on the border with Lebanon, the high intensity of escalation there, and because of the sensitivity of the issue of Israeli detainees held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.” .

Netanyahu took the decision to prevent the delegation from heading to Cairo again, even though the head of the Mossad and the head of the Shin Bet told him after their return to Israel that there was sufficient reason to continue negotiations in order to reach a new deal, according to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority. Netanyahu's decision sparked a storm of protests, and the Israeli Broadcasting Authority quoted unnamed officials as saying that the Prime Minister is obstructing the completion of the detainee and prisoner exchange deal for "personal reasons" that "do not take into account the public interest" of Israel.

There was renewed talk in Israel about a crisis of trust between Netanyahu and the military establishment, and specialists in Israeli affairs told the Arab World News Agency (AWP) that Netanyahu no longer trusts anyone, and sent someone to monitor on his behalf to the Cairo meetings, until he reached the point of asking the Israeli delegation to listen. Just don't negotiate. There is also talk about Netanyahu rejecting a draft framework agreement prepared by the army and preventing the Israeli delegation from discussing it in Cairo.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that Netanyahu sent his advisor, Ofir Falk, to the Cairo meeting, to prevent the head of the Mossad from exceeding the mandate granted to him regarding negotiations on the detainee and prisoner exchange deal with the Hamas movement. This is the first time that Falk participates in the meetings dedicated to negotiating a new deal, as he was present within the delegation to prevent any concession that does not agree with Benjamin Netanyahu’s opinion, according to “Makan.”

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, said that the prison authorities transferred the Palestinian prisoner and Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti from Ofer Prison to isolation following information about a planned intifada. Ben Gvir added in a blog post on the “X” platform: “The days when vandals run prisons are over.” He stated in the blog post: “I am happy that the Israeli security apparatus is implementing my very clear policy towards terrorists in prisons.” A report published by the Israeli Channel 13 stated that the Israeli prison administration took measures against the prominent leader of the prisoner Fatah movement, Marwan Barghouti, claiming that he was working to push towards an escalation of operations to resist the occupation in the West Bank.

According to the channel, the prison administration transferred Barghouti from Ofer prison to another prison, where he is being held in solitary confinement, after receiving information that Barghouti was pushing for escalation in the West Bank. The report claimed that the information that reached the Tel Aviv authorities was that “Barghouti is working through several channels to stir up the situation in the West Bank in an attempt to explode a third intifada against the backdrop of the continuing war in the Gaza Strip.”

The report indicated that this comes in light of Israeli fears of a possible security escalation in the West Bank during the month of Ramadan, and security officials believe that Hamas is trying to push for a security escalation in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the 48 regions. Security officials consider that "the month of Ramadan, as a unified and important occasion for all Muslims, may constitute a first and real opportunity for Hamas to succeed in this if we do not act in a professional and wise manner." In December 2023, Palestinian human rights bodies said that the Israeli authorities transferred leader Marwan Barghouti from Ofer prison, west of Ramallah, and isolated him about a week ago, with Tel Aviv refusing to disclose his whereabouts. The Palestinian Authority for Prisoners' and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said, in a statement issued last December 17, that they hold the Israeli Prisons Administration fully responsible for Barghouti's life.

On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Hamas movement did not present a new offer regarding the hostage agreement in Gaza during the talks that took place in Cairo, and that Israel will not agree to its current demands. A statement issued by Netanyahu's office said, "Israel has not received any new proposal from Hamas to release our hostages." He added, “Israel will not surrender to Hamas’ strange demands.”

“Only changing Hamas’ positions will make it possible to move forward with the negotiations.” In a related context, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that Netanyahu decided not to respond to the Egyptian mediator’s request to return the negotiating delegation to Cairo. The commission indicated, quoting the Walla news website, that the main stumbling block is the number of Palestinian prisoners who will be released for every detainee in the Gaza Strip. Yesterday, Cairo hosted quadripartite discussions between Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Israel, which an Egyptian source told Cairo News TV witnessed a “positive” atmosphere and will continue.

However, the Israeli newspaper “Haaretz” reported yesterday that the Quartet meeting in Cairo had ended, and that the head of the Israeli intelligence service (Mossad), David Barnea, had left the Egyptian capital. The newspaper reported that Israel did not provide its official response to a proposal submitted by the Hamas movement regarding the exchange of prisoners, noting that the Israeli delegation went to the Cairo meeting “to listen” only. Hossam Badran, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said that it was “too early” to talk about the details of what happened in the Cairo negotiations, according to Palestinian media.

The Israeli army falls into a tight ambush...and America suggests that the Saudi Crown Prince go to Israel for prayer and peace

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-36PJ4UQGc?si=h_YCPQZcv6pnyryr
New Al-Aqsa Flood presented by this episode of Samri Channel.
Where the Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns, the head of the Israeli Intelligence Service (Mossad), David Barnea, and the Qatari Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, met with Egyptian officials in Cairo, in order to discuss the position of calm in the Gaza Strip. According to the Egyptian media. Cairo News Channel reported that the meeting was held in the Egyptian capital, in light of increasing international pressure to reach a truce between Israel and Hamas.

A prominent Egyptian official said that the mediators had achieved what he described as “relatively significant progress” in the negotiations aimed at stopping the Gaza war, ahead of the Cairo meeting. The Times of Israel newspaper quoted the official as saying that the meeting focuses on “drafting a final draft” for a six-week ceasefire agreement, with guarantees that the parties will continue negotiations towards a permanent cessation of the war. Difficult negotiations are taking place in Cairo to reach a deal to exchange prisoners and stop the war in Gaza, under Egyptian, Qatari and American auspices, under great diplomatic pressure on both Israel and Hamas and under the weight of an imminent catastrophic attack on the city of Rafah, south of Gaza, which is crowded with displaced Palestinians.

Previously, it was not clear whether Israel would send a high-level delegation to the talks, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week rejected Hamas' proposal for a long truce. Israel previously rejected Hamas' conditions for reaching a 135-day agreement that would lead to an end to the war in Gaza, and the official who spoke to NBC said that the Israeli side "was not optimistic this time" either. He explained: “We will go to Cairo to see if there is a chance to reach an agreement, but I cannot tell you that anyone on the Israeli side is optimistic.”

US President Joe Biden discussed the agreement with Jordanian King Abdullah II at the White House, in his first meeting with an Arab leader in Washington since October 7, the time of Hamas' surprise attack on Israel. The two leaders criticized Israel's plan to launch a ground attack on the city of Rafah in the far south of Gaza, where Biden said more than a million displaced people were "exposed, vulnerable, and taking shelter in this area." The last high-level talks to stop the Gaza war were held in late January in Paris, in the presence of Burns and officials from Qatar, Israel and Egypt, but there were no Hamas representatives at the table.

This meeting led to a framework agreement, which proposed a temporary cessation of fighting in exchange for the release of some hostages. Hamas responded to this framework last week, during US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's trip to the Middle East, and called for an end to the war and the withdrawal of all Israeli forces from Gaza. The Israeli official commented on Hamas' response, saying: "We thought that there was a formula, not a binding agreement, that had been agreed upon in Paris. What Hamas returned was merely a review of some hard-line positions and completely separate from what was negotiated in Paris."

The Egyptian army begins construction of Dashm in preparation for the invasion of Rafah, and Israel escalates and accuses Egypt of treason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VEiuU7Je-E?si=Cbo1qCsX7jlx1Qos
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Egypt rejected the statements of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, in which he hinted at its “responsibility” for the Hamas attack last October 7. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered it "unfortunate and shameful that Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich continues to make irresponsible and inflammatory statements, which only reveal a hunger for killing and destruction, and sabotage any attempt to contain the crisis in the Gaza Strip." Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said that such statements are “totally unacceptable, as Egypt has complete control over its territory and does not allow any party to insert its name into any failed attempt to justify its shortcomings.” The Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" quoted Smotrich as saying that Egypt "bears great responsibility for what happened on October 7," in reference to Hamas' sudden attack on Israel. The Israeli Finance Minister said that Hamas' ammunition supplies "largely pass through Egypt."
On the other hand, Israel proposed establishing sprawling tent cities in Gaza, with funding from the United States and its partners in the region, before an imminent invasion of the city of Rafah, south of the Strip, where nearly one and a half million displaced Palestinians have settled. The Wall Street Journal said that Israel presented the proposal to Egypt, after Cairo rejected Israeli efforts to carry out a military operation in Rafah, warning it of its "dire consequences." The newspaper quoted Egyptian officials as saying that the proposal includes establishing 15 tent sites, each containing about 25,000 tents, in the southwestern part of the Gaza Strip. The officials explained that Egypt will be responsible for establishing the camps, and their annexes, including field hospitals and temporary water and sanitation facilities. The plan indicates that Israel is planning an imminent invasion of Rafah, despite American and Egyptian fears and warnings, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the city adjacent to the border with Egypt is “the last stronghold of Hamas” in Gaza. Egypt did not comment publicly on the Israeli proposal, while the Israeli Prime Minister's Office refused to comment on the plan. The proposal came at a time when the Biden administration warned Israel against the army entering Rafah without a detailed plan to protect civilians, while Israeli officials responded by saying that the ground attack in Rafah was necessary to eliminate Hamas. Minister in the war government, Benny Gantz, said, “There is no doubt about a large-scale operation in Rafah,” noting that “Israel will do what is required to allow its freedom of action there, including evacuating residents and preparing the territory for a ground incursion.”
Finally, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that there is a peace agreement between his country and Israel that has been in effect for the past 40 years, and will continue. Shukri added, in his statements, that Egypt will continue its efforts with Israel and Hamas in order to reach an agreement that leads to the release of prisoners and detainees, a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and ensuring the entry of aid into the Strip. He also reaffirmed Cairo's position rejecting any forced displacement of the residents of the Gaza Strip, and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause through alleged military operations in the city of Rafah, south of Gaza. Israeli officials are working to allay Egyptian fears regarding an imminent Israeli military operation in the city of Rafah, following reports about “Cairo’s threat to suspend implementation of the Camp David Accords.” In a previous statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt stressed its complete rejection of the statements issued by high-ranking officials in the Israeli government regarding the intention of the Israeli forces to launch a military operation in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, warning of the dire consequences of such an action, especially in light of the dangers surrounding it. The risks of worsening the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

Rafah Egypt moves air defense missiles towards Rafah after US President Biden approved the military operation there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6ZRCZldnVM?si=Hp1OelqxsJDH_ggb
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Social media activists circulated a short video of movements said to be Egyptian missiles, but the direction was unknown. The circulation of the video coincides with the tensions that characterize relations between Egypt and Israel against the backdrop of Israeli movements in the Gaza Strip, especially the Philadelphia axis. The video's publishers said: "Egypt directs S-75 air defense missiles to the border." One of the people in the video speaks in the Egyptian dialect, saying: “God is great.” None of the officials commented on this video amid attempts by some activists on social media to ignite the atmosphere and say that there is a buildup of Egyptian forces on the border with Israel. The S-75 Dvina, or SAM-2, is a Soviet-designed air defense system based on a surface-to-air missile (SAM) with a command guidance system. Since its first use in 1957, it has become the most widely used air defense system in history. The SAM 2 missile is also a medium-range air defense missile for medium and high altitudes, and it had the lion's share (43%) of the destruction of Israeli aircraft during the 1973 October War.
On the other hand, Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, said that US President Joe Biden gave the green light to Netanyahu to begin the large-scale military operation in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Barghouti added, in an interview with Al Jazeera Live, that Biden reversed what he was saying previously, as he authorized the Israeli military operation against displaced civilians after he had previously stated that the military operations in the entire Gaza Strip had exceeded the limits. Barghouti considered that “what is happening against the Palestinians is a major crime that will not stop except by imposing sanctions and boycotting this criminal entity.” He said, “We are living in a difficult situation. Yesterday, Western countries warned of the consequences of an Israeli military operation in Rafah, but they stopped at this point,” adding that if they had been sincere in their call, they would have immediately requested a Security Council resolution to cease fire in Gaza.

Israel informs Egypt of the storming of Palestinian Rafah... and the Egyptian army advances into the prohibited area

New Al-Aqsa Flood currency presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Egypt warned Hamas of the necessity of reaching an agreement regarding the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire with Israel within two weeks, otherwise the Israeli army will conduct a maneuver in Rafah, according to the Wall Street Journal. Al-Aqsa TV, affiliated with the Hamas movement, quoted a senior leader in the movement, saying that any ground attack by the Israeli army on the border city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip would mean “blowing up the exchange negotiations.” He added: "Netanyahu is trying to evade the entitlements of the exchange deal, by committing genocide and a new humanitarian disaster in Rafah."

On the other hand, the American newspaper "The Wall Street Journal" reported that Egypt threatened that if a wave of Palestinians crossed the border with Gaza, or if the Israeli army invaded Rafah, the peace agreement with Israel would be suspended. According to the newspaper, Egyptian officials urged their Western counterparts to inform Israel that they consider any move to force Gazans to cross into Sinai as a violation that would effectively suspend the 1979 peace treaty, according to a senior Western diplomat in Cairo. Another senior Western official and two US and Israeli officials said the message was more direct, with Egypt threatening to suspend the treaty if the Israeli army pushes Gazans into Egypt.

The Israeli official said that the Egyptian government repeated this warning to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Wednesday, when Blinken was in Cairo to meet with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The American official said that Egypt has made clear that it is prepared to militarize its borders, perhaps with tanks, if the Palestinians begin to be pushed into Sinai. The newspaper reported that despite the increasing tensions, Egyptian and Israeli officials are still communicating with each other. The Israeli official said that Israeli and Egyptian military officers, who have a long-standing relationship of trust resulting from security cooperation around the border, are also talking privately about a possible Israeli incursion into Rafah. This official said that in those discussions, the Egyptians asked Israel to limit the scope of the operation. Tel Aviv and Cairo are discussing giving Israel a greater role in securing the narrow buffer zone that runs along the nearly nine-mile border between Egypt and Gaza, the “Philadelphia axis,” according to Haaretz.

In a parallel context, and despite the Israeli consensus on the war against Gaza, positions differed regarding the implementation of a military operation in Rafah. Disagreements surfaced between the political level and the military establishment over the ground invasion of Rafah, which is the last refuge for the displaced in the besieged Gaza Strip, where about 1,400,000 Palestinians live. These disagreements came in the wake of escalating protests demanding a comprehensive exchange deal that would lead to the return of all Israeli prisoners held by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe if the Israeli army invaded Rafah, and escalating tensions with Egypt, which fears the forced displacement of Gazans to Sinai. The political affairs correspondent for the Israeli Channel 13, Moria Asraf Volberg, reviewed the Israeli internal positions regarding the ground operation in Rafah, noting that disagreements had surfaced between the political and military levels regarding the expected operation. Volberg pointed out that the differences appeared clear during the recent war council meeting, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Israeli army to formulate a plan to “cleanse Rafah,” sending an invitation to Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy to return the reserve forces, which were demobilized to military service and prepare for the invasion of Rafah. . The political affairs correspondent explained that Halevy’s response reflects the depth of the differences regarding the military operation in Rafah.

Israel calls in reserve forces in preparation for the expansion of the Rafah operation into a confrontation with the Egyptian army

According to the newspaper, Egyptian officials urged their Western counterparts to inform Israel that they consider any move to force Gazans to cross into Sinai as a violation that would effectively suspend the 1979 peace treaty, according to a senior Western diplomat in Cairo.

Tel Aviv and Cairo are discussing giving Israel a greater role in securing the narrow buffer zone that runs along the nearly nine-mile border between Egypt and Gaza, the “Philadelphia axis,” according to Haaretz.

The American newspaper reported that in the wake of Egyptian concern, various technological measures such as cameras and sensors were installed on the border with the Gaza Strip in preparation for the possibility of Palestinians attempting to cross into Egypt. Reuters reported that Egypt sent about 40 tanks and armored personnel carriers to northeastern Sinai during the past two weeks to strengthen its presence on the border with Gaza, according to two security sources. Earlier on Saturday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry warned of "dire effects of any expansion of Israeli military operations south of the Gaza Strip."

The Egyptian minister said during a press conference, "The military operations in southern Gaza herald a more tragic situation, and developments in Rafah will lead to further deterioration in the Strip." He added that "the international community's double standards led to the repercussions of the conflict, which Egypt has repeatedly warned against," and stressed that "the priority is to cease fire and prevent the displacement of Palestinians."

He said, "Cairo witnessed consultations to bring points of view closer together with the aim of reaching a complete ceasefire, the arrival of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and preventing any liquidation of the Palestinian cause." The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Friday evening that the Israeli army had approved a military operation in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

The newspaper pointed out that preparations for an operation in Rafah began weeks ago, and the army has already agreed to a plan that includes the necessity of evacuating displaced Palestinians. The Israeli Channel 12 had revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that the operation in Rafah may begin within two weeks. Earlier, the Israeli Prime Minister indicated that it is not possible to achieve the goals of the war in Gaza and maintain 4 Hamas brigades in Rafah. It is noteworthy that Rafah is a small city along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, and due to Israeli military operations, it has become the last refuge for about 1.4 million displaced, hungry and desperate Gazans, according to the United Nations, most of whom were displaced from other places in Gaza. Netanyahu threatened He invaded Rafah, and directed his forces on Friday

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Security sources stated that Egypt sent about 40 tanks and armored personnel carriers to northeastern Sinai during the past two weeks as part of a series of measures to enhance security on its border with Gaza.

Egyptian security sources indicated that since October 7, Egypt has built a concrete border wall up to six meters long and topped with barbed wire, built barriers and strengthened surveillance on border sites. The deployment of Egyptian forces came before the expansion of Israeli military operations towards the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, which increased Egyptian fears of the possibility of forcing Palestinians seeking safety to leave the Strip en masse. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said earlier that he had ordered the army to develop a dual plan to evacuate civilians from Rafah and defeat what remained of Hamas, according to Reuters.

Rafah is the last area where Gaza residents took refuge during the war. Israeli forces are bombing it at a time when the displaced people, who gathered in numbers reaching hundreds of thousands in front of the border fence with Egypt, fear a new attack, while they have no place left to flee to. In this context, Israeli Channel 12 reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy discussed a few days ago the continuation of the military operation, and during the discussion a dispute arose between the two over the instructions issued by Netanyahu to prepare and advance towards the city of Rafah.

The channel added that Netanyahu urged finding quick solutions to this issue, while Halevy stressed that the army has a plan, but there is a need for enabling conditions to evacuate the area and coordination with Egypt. The channel reported that Netanyahu claimed during the conversation that time is short and that eliminating Hamas from Rafah must be completed before the month of Ramadan, according to him. Israeli forces are preparing to carry out a ground attack on Hamas in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where hundreds of thousands who were displaced from the north due to Israeli bombing live in miserable conditions.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the army had been asked to draw up a plan to evacuate civilians, but aid agencies warned that a military attack in such a densely populated area could end up killing large numbers of innocent people. Washington said it would not support any Israeli military operation in Rafah without giving due consideration to the plight of civilians, and Biden described the Israeli military response to the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7 as “exceeding the limit.”
More than a million people, displaced south after four months of Israeli bombing, are crowded into Rafah and its surrounding areas on the border of the coastal strip with Egypt, which has strengthened security measures for fear of a mass exodus. Netanyahu's office said that four Hamas battalions are present in Rafah and that Israel cannot achieve the goal of eliminating the movement's militants while they are stationed there. He added that civilians must be evacuated from the combat zone.

Reuters quoted two Egyptian security sources as saying that Cairo sent about 40 tanks and armored personnel carriers to northeastern Sinai in the past two weeks as part of a series of measures to enhance security on its border with the Gaza Strip.

The forces were deployed before Israel expanded its military operations to include the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, to which most of the residents of the Strip were displaced in search of a safe haven, which exacerbated Egypt’s fears of the possibility of forcing the Palestinians to leave the Strip en masse.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
US President Joe Biden confirmed in a surprise speech that he “does not suffer from memory problems despite his old age,” after a report described the master of the White House as “an elderly man with a weak memory.” Biden confirmed in a tone full of anger that he does not suffer from memory problems, and the octogenarian president said to reporters at the White House, “Well, I am an old man and I know what I am doing. I do not suffer from memory problems.”

This came in a speech he delivered shortly after the issuance of a report prepared by a special prosecutor in which he described him as “an elderly man with a weak memory,” where Biden strongly denounced what the investigator stated in his report that he had forgotten the date of his son Beau Biden’s death. After Biden was angry at being described as “an elderly person with a weak memory,” Biden made statements about the war in Gaza in which he again made a mistake, indicating that “Mexican President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi” (instead of the Egyptian President) did not initially want to open the crossing to allow the entry of humanitarian aid. "To the Gaza Strip, but he talked to him and convinced him to do so!"

On the other hand, during the same press conference, US President Joe Biden considered that the Israeli military response in the Gaza Strip to the attack launched by Hamas against Israel was an “excessive” response. Biden said in response to a question about the situation in Gaza, “I think, as you know, the response in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip, was excessive.” Biden said: “I am pressing hard now to reach a sustainable truce in Gaza.”

The US President recalled the efforts he had made since the beginning of the war to alleviate its impact on civilians. American officials launched their harshest criticism yet regarding the human losses among civilians in Gaza as a result of Israel's operations, which has now shifted the focus of its attack to Rafah, but there are no indications that Washington's talk is being listened to. On his fifth tour to the region since the surprise attack launched by Hamas on Israel on October 7, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, on Wednesday, criticized Israeli military activity in Gaza and said that the number of civilian deaths is still very high despite repeated warnings. He suggested specific steps that Israel should follow.

Blinken said in a press conference that any “military operation carried out by Israel must take into account civilians in the first place, and this applies to the case of Rafah,” due to the presence of more than a million displaced people. When asked whether the United States would “stand by and watch” while Israeli forces target Rafah, Blinken reiterated the American position that the Israeli military operation must primarily consider civilians. American diplomats have been urging Israel to change its tactics in Gaza for months, with little indication of success. Washington has not tried taking steps that would exert greater pressure, such as placing restrictions on its $3.8 billion annual military aid to Israel, or changing its support for its ally in the United Nations.

Critics say this provides Israel with a sense of impunity. More than half of the population of the Gaza Strip is located in Rafah on the Egyptian border in the south of the Strip, and many of them have been displaced several times to escape the fighting. Israel bombs Rafah, and residents fear a ground operation. Defense Minister Yoav Galant said last week that the Israeli campaign will expand to include the city to target militants.

The Egyptian Air Force moved immediately to Rafah after Netanyahu gave the green light to the Israeli army to intervene militarily

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGNRg4IQTyQ
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that complete victory in Gaza is within reach, and his rejection of the latest offer from the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) for a ceasefire to ensure the return of the hostages who are still being held in the besieged Strip.

Netanyahu renewed his vow to destroy Hamas, saying that there is no alternative for Israel but to cause the collapse of Hamas. “The next day is the day after (eliminating) Hamas. All of Hamas,” he said in a press conference, as he insisted that complete victory over Hamas is the only solution to the Gaza war.

He added, "Continued military pressure is a necessary condition for the release of the hostages." Sami Abu Zuhri, head of Hamas' political department abroad, was quick to respond to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, telling Reuters, "Netanyahu's statements are a kind of political arrogance, and he is concerned with the continuation of the conflict in the region."

He added, "Our message to everyone is that Hamas dealt flexibly with the Paris meeting paper and this from a position of strength, not weakness, and that Hamas is ready to deal with all options." Hamas leader Osama Hamdan also stated that a Hamas delegation headed by Khalil Al-Hayya will head to Egypt on Thursday to follow up on ceasefire talks with Egypt and Qatar. Hamas had proposed a ceasefire plan that would calm the bombing that the Gaza Strip has been subjected to for four and a half months, and that includes the release of all hostages, the withdrawal of Israeli army forces from the Gaza Strip, and reaching an agreement to end the war. Hamdan called on the Palestinian armed factions to continue fighting.

Hamas's proposal, the contents of which were first revealed by Reuters, comes in response to a previous proposal drawn up by the directors of the American and Israeli intelligence services and conveyed last week by Qatari and Egyptian mediators. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken discussed the offer with Netanyahu after his arrival in Israel following talks with the leaders of Qatar and Egypt, which are volunteering to mediate in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Netanyahu rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state, which Saudi Arabia says is a condition for completing Saudi-Israeli normalization.

These diplomatic efforts come at a time of increased fighting in Gaza, as Israel seeks to control Khan Yunis, the main city in the south of the Strip. Israel said last week that it was planning to storm Rafah, a move that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described as “exacerbating what is already a humanitarian nightmare and having untold regional consequences.”

Today, Israeli forces bombed areas in the border city of Rafah, a day after Netanyahu rejected a proposal to end the war in Gaza and pledged to continue fighting, saying that “victory is near and only months away.”
Residents told the agency that Israeli aircraft bombed areas in Rafah this morning, killing at least 11 people due to raids on two homes, and tanks also bombed some areas east of Rafah, while the Israeli army did not announce this.
Egypt insists on its position that any entry of “armored, artillery, or crawler forces into the region is a clear Israeli violation of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, the Camp David Treaty, and the crossings agreement,” according to the military expert. “At that time, Egypt has the right to take all measures to protect Egyptian national security.”
The Egyptian strategic expert, Saad Al-Zant, confirmed that “Egypt refuses to touch its borders or ignite fires and provoke crises near them, especially if the matter concerns one of its most important strategic directions and the most dangerous issues of Arab national security.”

Will Egypt and the Egyptian army get involved in a new war with the Israeli army after 45 years of peace following the Gaza war with Hamas?!

Updates on the oil issue presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Oil prices rose, with expectations that US oil production growth will remain largely stable until 2025, alleviating fears of excess supply. Brent crude futures increased 38 cents, or 0.5%, to $78.97 per barrel by 00:13 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude increased 41 cents, or 0.6%, to $73.72.

Both crude oil prices rose slightly on Monday. The US Energy Information Administration said yesterday, Tuesday, in its short-term energy forecasts that US domestic production will not exceed the record recorded in December 2023, which is more than 13.3 million barrels per day, until February 2025, according to Reuters. The EIA also lowered its forecast for domestic oil production growth in 2024 by 120,000 bpd to 170,000 bpd, which is sharply lower than last year's production increase of 1.02 million bpd. US government data on oil inventory is scheduled to be released later on Wednesday.

US crude inventories are expected to rise by 1.9 million barrels last week as production recovers from a cold snap and maintenance begins at refineries. Meanwhile, American, Qatari and Egyptian mediators prepared a diplomatic campaign to overcome the differences between Israel and Hamas regarding a truce in Gaza after the Palestinian movement submitted its response to the proposed ceasefire agreement in the Strip, which would also include the release of hostages. Traders are closely following the situation in the Middle East, especially the attacks launched by the Yemeni Houthi group allied with Iran on ships in the vital Red Sea, which have disrupted traffic through the Suez Canal, which is the fastest sea route between Asia and Europe and through which approximately 12% of global trade passes. .

Voters in Venezuela voted to annex the oil-rich Essequibo region, which is administered by neighboring Guyana, to their country, in an advisory referendum organized by Caracas to legitimize its claim to this region. The annexation of the region received more than 95% of the votes in the referendum, which included five questions in this regard, according to what the National Elections Commission reported. The head of the committee, Elvis Amoruso, confirmed on Monday that the participation rate in the referendum had reached about 50%, with “10,431,907 Venezuelans” voting out of 20.7 million voters who were invited to participate.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro praised the "landslide" victory. He said, "We have achieved the first steps of a new historical stage in the struggle for what belongs to us, in order to restore what the liberators left to us." Agence France-Presse journalists in Caracas and Ciudad Guyana, the capital of the Venezuelan region bordering Essequibo, observed on Sunday a moderate attendance of voters at voting centers.

The National Elections Commission reported on Sunday that about 10.5 million “votes” were cast in the referendum, and there was controversy over this number of votes before the official announcement of the participation rate was issued, as the opposition accused the authority of trying to conceal the high boycott rate, noting that 10.5 One million “votes” does not mean that 10.5 million people cast their votes.

For his part, director of the Data Analysis Institute for Opinion Polls, Luis Vicente Leon, said, “It is very difficult to understand results like these.” The referendum included five questions, including proposals to establish a Venezuelan state called “Guyana Essequibo” and grant its residents Venezuelan citizenship, in addition to a call to reject the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, to which Guyana approached regarding the disputed region. Although the opposition is demanding overall sovereignty over Essequibo, it has expressed reservations and is hesitating between its convictions and its determination not to support the authority before the presidential elections scheduled for 2024. The most prominent opposition figure, Maria Corina Machado, who hopes to compete with Maduro for the presidency, considered the referendum an attempt to “distract "Attention" amid the crisis in the country.
