RAMALLAH, April 5, 2015 (WAFA) – The three Palestinian Arabic dailies highlighted in their Sunday issue the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria group invasion of the besieged Palestinian refugee camp al-Yarmouk, on the outskirts of Damascus, amid airstrikes, assassination and mass kidnapping.

The dailies said the Palestinian presidency was liaising with multiple parties, including Arab, International and humanitarian ones, to ensure the safety of the trapped Palestinian refugees in al-Yarmouk. The papers didn’t add any further information regarding the Presidency’s efforts.

Al-Quds said UNRWA considered the situation in al-Yarmouk as a ‘source of universal shame’.

Al-Ayyam and al-Quds said two rallies were organized in the Gaza Strip and Ramallah in protest of the disastrous humanitarian situation in al-Yarmouk.

On a different note, al-Hayat al-Jadida focused on President Mahmoud Abbas, during a televised interview with Arab TV, who called on Israelis not to cut the hand extended for peace, because the substitutes are catastrophic. 

The paper underlined in red Abbas’ remarks on Jerusalem, saying: “We will not give up Jerusalem and Israel will benefit from the Arab peace initiative.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Ayyam said extremist Jewish settlers sprayed pepper gas at an 11-year-old Palestinian girl in Hebron on Saturday. The girl who was standing in front of her home was moderately injured and treated by Ambulance crews at the spot.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Quds said an Israeli prison guards stormed few divisions in ‘Rimon’ prison in Israel on last Friday, where many political prisoners are being held, and physically assaulted three prisoners.
