00:00Welcome everyone, thank you for joining us in this new big Diamond News, here are the
00:21headlines.
00:22The Baitman Al-Quds Sharif Agency, the executive branch of the Al-Quds Committee, chaired by
00:30His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, carried out in the year 2024 projects and programs
00:35of a value of more than 4.2 million dollars.
00:40Thousands of Syrians, from the minority to the elite, demonstrated this Wednesday in
00:46several cities in Syria after a video showing an attack on one of their sanctuaries.
00:51The demonstrators were killed by bullets, according to the OSDH.
00:56And then a Palestinian media announced this Thursday the death of five of its journalists
01:01killed at dawn during an Israeli strike in the center of the Gaza Strip, according to
01:08this Palestinian media.
01:13The Baitman Al-Quds Sharif Agency, the executive branch of the Al-Quds Committee, chaired by
01:20His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, carried out in the year 2024 projects and programs of
01:26a value of more than 4.2 million dollars.
01:30These projects are divided between the social assistance program, the arts sector, heritage
01:35and cultural industries, the children's sector, youth and sport, and support for
01:41emerging Palestinian companies through the incubator of innovation projects, according
01:46to the annual report of the Agency as of the year 2024, presented yesterday in Rabat
01:50during a press conference.
01:52These achievements also concern projects in the sector of education, human development
01:58and prevention and medication programs, of which the budget allocated to the health sector
02:03in addition.
02:04The Agency has allocated an exceptional budget of about 400,000 dollars to support the educational
02:08sector in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with the high instructions of His Majesty the King
02:12Mohammed VI, who ordered the implementation of urgent humanitarian aid for this devastated
02:17area.
02:18During the weekly session of oral questions, the Minister of Water Equipment was in front
02:29of the Chamber of Advisers for Nizar Baraka.
02:33Today, we can tell you that we have 35 cities that will also benefit from the World Cup.
02:48As part of the World Cup in 2030, 35 cities will benefit from development projects that
02:57are not limited to the major cities hosting the World Cup matches.
03:05Work is underway to develop all the necessary road installations in order to reduce pressure
03:15on the major cities of the world.
03:19Among the projects concerned are the construction of the future Hassan II Abn Suleiman stadium
03:30and the implementation of the Continental Highway linking Rabat and Casablanca on the
03:36horizon in 2029.
03:39For Nizar Baraka, 64% of the Moroccan roads are currently in good or excellent condition.
03:46The Minister of Water Equipment has also pointed out the other road projects.
03:51Listen.
03:58On the subject of the Dourika Tunnel, the preliminary and geological studies of the project
04:03have already been carried out.
04:04The minister is now looking at the studies inside the tunnel to determine its global cost.
04:15Due to the inability of the adjudicatory companies to carry out the studies inside the tunnel,
04:25it has been decided to cancel the market and launch a new supply call.
04:30We are talking about the connection of the Marrakech-Agadir highway to the Tiznit-Dakhla expressway.
04:41The ministry is working on the implementation of the preliminary studies in order to extend
04:50this highway to the Tiznit-Dakhla expressway.
04:55In international news, thousands of Syrians from the Halawite minority have come out.
05:03President Bashar al-Assad has demonstrated on Wednesday in several cities of the country
05:08after a video showing an attack against one of their sanctuaries.
05:13An NGO has reported a demonstrator killed by bullets,
05:17as well as clashes between armed men and security forces
05:20who tried to arrest an officer of the power of Bashar al-Assad in Tartus.
05:2517 people have died, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
05:28during these clashes.
05:2914 members of the Ministry of the Interior have been killed and 10 others injured.
05:34The new Minister of the Interior, Mohamed Abdel Rahman, wrote in a statement
05:39that the demonstrations of the Halawite Syrians are the first since the overthrow of al-Assad
05:44by a coalition of rebels led by the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Damascus.
05:50The Ministry of the Interior has ensured that the video was old and dated from the capture of Aleppo
05:55by the rebels on December 1, in order to circulate such images again
06:00and to sow discord among the Syrian people,
06:03he added, accusing unknown groups of the attack.
06:11We are still in Syria, where the population is confronted by a weakened health system
06:17and by years of war and sanctions imposed by the West.
06:22The situation is dramatic, while hospitals lack everything except patients.
06:28Agent Inko.
06:30Due to security concerns, during the 13 years of civil war,
06:34many doctors and experienced nurses fled the country.
06:38Several health facilities throughout the country have been damaged by the fighting.
06:42Syria is in chronic shortage of personnel and medical equipment.
06:48Our hospital is central, it receives a large number of patients every day
06:52because the health services are provided for free.
06:55We try to provide services within the limits of our capacities,
06:59but we lack everything, beds, staff, nurses and doctors.
07:03Sometimes we lack syringes and serums.
07:07One of the main public hospitals in Damascus serves as a rescue buoy for the Syrians,
07:12but its services are paralyzed by a lack of resources to deal with hundreds of patients seeking care.
07:18The hospital, like many others, is underfunded.
07:20Many medical devices no longer work because spare parts are under international sanctions.
07:26On average, I receive about 150 patients a day, which has exhausted the machines.
07:32This machine, for example, was bought in 2021.
07:34It worked 24 hours a day, which led to its failure.
07:39More than half of the hospitals still operate throughout the country,
07:42but the Syrian health system is in a critical state,
07:45breaking the hopes of a better life for thousands of people.
07:52A Palestinian channel announced this Thursday the death of five of its journalists,
07:57killed, according to it, at dawn, during an Israeli strike in the center of the Gaza Strip.
08:01The Israeli army claimed to have targeted a cell of an armed group.
08:06In a statement, Al-Quds Today, a local TV channel,
08:11said these five journalists,
08:13Faisal Abolqomsan, Ayman Al-Jadid, Ibrahim Sheikha Khalil, Fadi Hassouna and Mohamed Al-Ada,
08:19were killed in the camp of Palestinian refugees in Nusayrat,
08:26while they were doing their journalistic and humanitarian duties.
08:30The death of these journalists is, according to the channel,
08:33a crime that is added to the series of crimes committed by the Israeli army
08:36against Palestinian journalists.
08:43People mourned and in tears prayed this Thursday
08:49at a ceremony held in several Asian countries
08:52to mark the 20th anniversary of the tsunami,
08:55the deadliest in history,
08:57which killed more than 220,000 people on Christmas Eve.
09:01On December 26, 2024, an earthquake of magnitude 9.1
09:06off the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra
09:11engendered huge waves that had hit Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand
09:17and nine other countries in the Indian Ocean,
09:20with victims up to Somalia.
09:22At their maximum speed, it was moving at nearly 800 km per hour
09:28and had reached up to 30 meters high in the Indonesian province of Nadasi,
09:33where more than 100,000 people had been killed.
09:35The Great Mosque gave the signal of a series of commemorations
09:38throughout Asia with a three-minute long siren
09:42at the exact time of the catastrophe, followed by prayers.
09:46Other religious ceremonies and vigil on the beach
09:49must be held in Sri Lanka, India and Thailand.
09:55We now head to Mozambique,
09:59where more than 1,500 detainees escaped yesterday
10:03from a high-security prison in Maputo,
10:05taking advantage of the agitation on the third day
10:07of the troubles that broke out
10:09after the confirmation of the victory of Freiburg in power
10:13while the opposition denounced fraud.
10:161,534 detainees escaped from the high-security prison
10:21located about 15 km from the capital.
10:25Yesterday, Bernardino Raffaele, head of the National Police,
10:28confirmed this during a press conference.
10:30Among the escaped, 33 were killed and 15 injured
10:33during the clashes that followed,
10:35with the penitentiary staff, he said.
10:38The search operations, which were followed by the army,
10:42allowed to arrest some 150 of these fugitives.
10:46On Wednesday, groups of demonstrators
10:48approached the central prison
10:50and created confusion and noise,
10:53inciting agitation in the prison
10:55where the detainees ended up falling down a wall
10:58through which they escaped.
11:00This was explained by the barricades
11:02that remained erected yesterday
11:04in several neighborhoods of the capital,
11:06filtering the rare vehicles
11:08trying to circulate acts of vandalism.
11:10They continued.
11:23We now turn to the guest of the major newspaper,
11:27the media.
11:29Morning Israel and the Palestinian Hamas
11:32accuse each other of having failed
11:35to sign the ceasefire agreement
11:38and have been waiting for the last few days
11:41to point out the latest developments.
11:44We are live with Mohamed Rajahi Barakat,
11:47an international relations expert.
11:51Good morning Mohamed Rajahi Barakat
11:53and thank you for being with us.
11:57Thank you for inviting me.
12:01Hamas and Israel accused each other yesterday
12:05of having failed to sign the ceasefire agreement.
12:10Hamas accuses Israel of imposing new conditions
12:13in the ongoing discussions in Doha,
12:16while Israel has responded by accusing
12:20the Palestinian movement of imposing new obstacles
12:23in the negotiations.
12:25What are the points of blockage
12:28of this long-awaited agreement?
12:33In fact, as you just said,
12:35both parties reject the responsibility
12:37for the failure of the negotiations.
12:39But it must be noted that since the beginning
12:43of the war or the massacres in the Gaza Strip,
12:49the Israeli party promises
12:52and also the Egyptian, Qatari and American negotiators
12:58every time we hear that the negotiations are over.
13:02So, it's been more than 14 months
13:04since the negotiations started
13:06and nothing is actually moving forward.
13:08The Israeli party negotiates
13:10just to buy time
13:12and Netanyahu continues
13:15to empty the Gaza Strip
13:17of its inhabitants,
13:19destroy buildings and cities
13:21in the Gaza Strip
13:23in order to control militarily
13:25the entire Gaza Strip
13:27and annex it
13:29to the State of Israel.
13:31In fact,
13:33the Palestinian party
13:35claims the departure
13:37of all Israeli forces
13:39from the Gaza Strip
13:42to the State of Israel.
13:44Israel does not want that
13:46and wants to keep
13:48the security control
13:50on the Gaza Strip.
13:52This is an important point
13:54for which there is disagreement
13:56between the two parties.
13:58In addition,
14:00the Israeli party demands
14:02to immediately release
14:04all the hostages.
14:06There are a hundred hostages
14:08who are in the hands of Hamas
14:11in the Gaza Strip
14:13and the Palestinians
14:15also demand
14:17that Israel
14:23release
14:25about 10,000 hostages
14:27in the Israeli prisons.
14:29So there is a disagreement
14:31on this plan.
14:33Mr. Barakat,
14:35the main
14:37point of blockade
14:40on the permanent
14:42or not of the ceasefire
14:44and essentially
14:46the governance
14:48of the Gaza Strip after the war.
14:50This second point
14:52resurfaces
14:54against the refusal of Israel
14:56which opposes
14:58the Palestinian movement
15:00to lead Gaza again.
15:02What do you think?
15:04In fact, these are new
15:06demands of the Israeli party.
15:08Israel wants to ensure the control
15:10of the Gaza Strip
15:12and also
15:14refuses on one side
15:16that the Palestinian Authority
15:18of Mahmoud Abbas controls
15:20the Gaza Strip
15:22and also refuses the presence
15:24of Hamas.
15:26So there is this point
15:28which is important in the negotiations
15:30and Hamas
15:32and the Palestinian militants
15:34in the Gaza Strip
15:37and the other organizations
15:39like the Islamic Jihad
15:41and the FLP
15:43want to continue to lead
15:45the Gaza Strip
15:47but also the Israeli party
15:49demands the departure
15:51and works on the departure
15:53of all the Palestinians
15:55who are still in Gaza
15:57and move them from one place to another
15:59in the hope that they leave
16:01the Gaza Strip.
16:03So there are many points of disagreement
16:06but each time we see that the Israeli party
16:08adds new points
16:10on which there is
16:12disagreement between the two parties.
16:14So in my opinion, these negotiations
16:16will never succeed.
16:18Some have tried to give hope
16:20to the Palestinian population
16:22that we will move forward
16:24and that there will be
16:26humanitarian aid
16:28that will enter Gaza.
16:30Mr. Barakat, still concerning
16:32the blockade points,
16:35this land strip
16:37controlled by the Israeli army
16:39along the border
16:41between Gaza
16:43and Egypt,
16:45does it also act
16:47as a point of shock
16:49in these negotiations?
16:51In fact, Israel
16:53refuses to give in
16:55to this blockade that it has occupied
16:57and so
16:59the Palestinian part
17:01and Egypt too
17:04are being blocked by this corridor
17:06and the Palestinians
17:08demand the opening
17:10of all the points of passage
17:12in order to bring in humanitarian aid.
17:14But there is a very strict control
17:16from the Israelis
17:18on the products
17:20and humanitarian aid.
17:22The north of the Gaza Strip
17:24is deprived of water,
17:26electricity,
17:28food
17:30and the Israeli army
17:32continues to bomb and assassinate.
17:34As you said this morning,
17:36there were
17:38five journalists
17:40who were assassinated
17:42by the Israeli army
17:44and every day
17:46about fifty Palestinians
17:48fall into the Gaza Strip
17:50or less than fifty per day.
17:52And so
17:54the negotiations will continue
17:56but without an objective,
17:58without any exit
18:00that is
18:02valid and acceptable
18:04for the Palestinians.
18:06As I said at the beginning, Israel
18:08is negotiating to buy time
18:10and we can see what is happening
18:12in the neighboring countries,
18:14in Syria, Lebanon
18:16and now Jordan, which is also targeted
18:18by the declarations
18:20of the Israeli officials,
18:22notably Smotrych and the Israeli minister
18:24and others.
18:26So, in my opinion,
18:28the final goal of the Israeli party
18:30is to grow
18:32and while waiting for the arrival
18:34of the next American president,
18:36Donald Trump,
18:38who said
18:40that Israel is a small country
18:42and it must grow.
18:44And as soon as he becomes
18:46president,
18:48on the 20th of January,
18:50he will work with
18:52Benjamin Netanyahu to realize
18:54the project in the region.
18:56Mr. Barakat,
18:58the enthusiasm
19:00that was in place
19:02in the last few days,
19:04to conclude an agreement,
19:06but in the last few hours
19:08the positions
19:10seem to be moving away.
19:12The prospects of a ceasefire
19:14remain
19:16uncertain or even
19:18impossible, what do you think?
19:20It's been 10 months
19:22or even more
19:24that we've been promised
19:26a ceasefire.
19:28Even in the mountains, for a few days,
19:30the Israeli party
19:32doesn't want it.
19:34So, the war continues.
19:36It continues to bombard
19:38and burn the Palestinians
19:40who live in the tents.
19:42I think all the media
19:44broadcast these images
19:46live.
19:48So, for me personally,
19:50there is no hope
19:52that there will be a
19:54valid ceasefire
19:56and that this war,
19:58this annihilation,
20:00this genocide of the Palestinian people
20:02in Gaza will stop.
20:04During
20:06this time,
20:08a Palestinian channel,
20:10a Palestinian media,
20:12announced yesterday at dawn
20:14the death of 5 journalists,
20:16in addition to the
20:18Ministry of Health of Gaza,
20:20who announced this Wednesday
20:22that at least 23 people
20:24had been killed
20:26in the last 24 hours
20:28in this Palestinian territory.
20:30This brings the total
20:32to 45,361
20:34deaths.
20:36A comment on this new
20:38report.
20:40In fact,
20:42we are talking about 45,000 or more
20:44martyrs who fell
20:46in the Gaza Strip.
20:48Not to mention
20:50the people who are still
20:52in the houses
20:54under the bombs,
20:56in the houses where
20:58they can't get out of.
21:00In my opinion,
21:02at least 10,000,
21:04some say 20,000 Palestinians,
21:06others who can't get out
21:08of the houses
21:10destroyed.
21:12You are talking about
21:14journalists who were
21:16assassinated yesterday,
21:18but it brings the number
21:20of about 200 journalists
21:22who were assassinated
21:24during their work,
21:26while they were transmitting
21:28information about what was happening
21:30in Gaza, and the Israeli army
21:32warned them and assassinated
21:34their families.
21:36There were
21:38several cases of this kind.
21:40We must not forget that Israel
21:42destroyed all universities,
21:44hospitals,
21:46and assassinated
21:48university professors.
21:50Therefore,
21:52it is impossible
21:54for Palestinians
21:56to hope for peace
21:58in the Gaza Strip.
22:00Mr. Mohamed Rajahi Balakat,
22:02thank you
22:04for answering
22:06our questions.
22:08Thank you for all these details.
22:10I remind you that you are an expert
22:12in international affairs.
22:18This is the end
22:20of this edition.
22:24See you next time on
22:26Réunion TV.
22:42Réunion TV
