RAMALLAH, September 13, 2018 (WAFA) – The three Palestinian Arabic dailies highlighted on their front page on Thursday activities by Palestinians at Khan al-Ahmar village, east of Jerusalem, aimed at preventing Israeli demolition of the Palestinian Bedouin village.

The papers said officials and delegations kept on arriving at the village during the day in a strong show of solidarity.

They also highlighted local and world reaction to Israeli plans to destroy the village and displace its residents in order to build a Jewish settlement on that land that would cut the West Bank in half.

Al-Ayyam said the activities at Khan al-Ahmar continued around the clock, while al-Hayat al-Jadida said the Palestinian cabinet called on Palestinians to be present in the village at all times to foil the demolition attempt.

Other topics covered on the front page of the dailies, mainly in al-Quds, had to do with the United Nations warning of a catastrophic situation in Gaza with the 12-year-long Israeli blockade and the United States ending millions of dollars in aid to the UN agency in charge of Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.

Al-Quds said the Czech Republic intends to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

It also said a public opinion poll showed that two-thirds of the Palestinians reject the confederation idea with Jordan, which the paper said King Abdullah of Jordan has also rejected, and 75% believe the situation today is worse than before the Oslo accords were signed 25 years ago.

It said Ahmad Tibi, Palestinian-Israeli lawmaker, attended the Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo and gave a speech there.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida said President Mahmoud Abbas has ratified a law on health that would define the relationship between health institutions and physicians particularly in cases of medical negligence or mistakes, as reported in al-Ayyam.

The papers said Interpol arrested a man wanted by the Palestinian Authority for crimes committed at home.
