RAMALLAH, Monday, June 6, 2022 (WAFA) – Attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians whether in occupied East Jerusalem or the West Bank were highlighted on the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today.
Al-Quds daily said in its main front-page story headline: “Settlers continue in their attacks.”
Al-Hayat al-Jadida daily said in its headline on this topic: “Settlers throw rocks at vehicles in the Jordan Valley, attack Nabi Saleh village and a number of cars for Jerusalemites.”
The third daily, al-Ayyam, wrote: “500 settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
Al-Quds added on this topic that the Israeli occupation forces closed the gates to al-Aqsa as settlers desecrated the Muslim holy place.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida touched on the situation of the two Palestinian hunger strikers, one for over three months and the other for over two months, who are demanding their freedom from administrative detention in Israel. It said the Israel Prison Services refuses to move them to hospital despite the deterioration in their health.
It also said, sarcastically, in another headline: “A shirt for a 3-year-old child threatens the security of Israel.” The paper was referring to the story of Israeli soldiers forcing the Palestinian child at a checkpoint near Jenin city to take off his shirt because it had a gun printed on it and therefore he went home shirtless.
Al-Ayyam said on this topic: “When the occupation fears the shirt of a child,” and had a picture of the child without his shirt after returning home.
It said in another story that the Administrative Court in Ramallah postponed a hearing into a petition to force the end of the strike of the engineers.
It said Palestinians in Hebron demonstrated against the rise in prices.
It also quoted the United Nations saying that a 12-unit building in Silwan is under threat of demolition.
Al-Quds quoted the same report saying the UN is warning against a rise in the Israeli demolition of Palestinian homes.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said the PLO rejects attempts to change the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
It also quoted Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh saying on the 55th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza that “our people are more resilient and holding on to their lands.”
