 Palestinian refugees across Lebanon commemorate the 44th anniversary Naksa day (the Defeat Day) on Sunday.Shops were closed in Lebanon's 12 Palestinian refugee camps, where black flags of mourning were hoisted, as the Lebanese army reinforced its presence, particularly in the south. Lebanese soldiers manned roadblocks on roads to the border. Lebanese and Palestinian activists had planned to protest at the border with the Palestinian occupied territories but the army banned any gatherings at the frontier. Several protesters tried to stage a rally in the southern village of Adaisseh near the Lebanese-Palestinian border. However, police and soldiers quickly disperse them. Al-Manar correspondent in the south reported that the army arrest 14 Lebanese citizens and two Palestinians. The army asked the protesters to leave the area, the correspondent added. During the Six-Day War, Israel seized Sinai, which it returned to Egypt in 1982, Syria's Golan Heights, the West Bank including east Al-Quds, and the Gaza Strip. |

 As Palestinian youths were being martyred along the borders with the occupied territories, Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas, from Rammallah, announced he was ready to attend a French proposal to hold what so-called “peace” conference in Paris by the end of July.Nimr Hammad, a political advisor to Abbas, said the president had told French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe that he agreed officially to France's proposal to host a “peace” conference in Paris before the end of July. "President Abbas told Foreign Minister Juppe that he agrees officially to the French initiative of holding an international peace conference in Paris," Hammad told AFP news agency. Abbas insisted that participation be “conditioned” on using the lines which existed before the 1967 Six-Day War as the basis for negotiating future borders, Hammad said. "In order to start negotiations, their basis must be ending the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land occupied since 1967, and the borders of the state will be determined on this basis with land swaps agreed by both the Israeli and Palestinian sides", he said. Meanwhile, and as the PA Chief said he was ready to attend the conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Zionist entity was “studying” the French proposal. "I heard the proposal brought by French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe," Netanyahu told media at the beginning of a weekly meeting of his cabinet. "We very much appreciate our French friends and I will respond to them after we have considered matters. We will study the proposal and discuss it with our American friends as well." Netanyahu also added he would not consider resuming negotiations with any Palestinians government that includes the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, which last month signed a unity deal with the Fatah movement of Abbas. "We would also like to emphasize and reiterate: Negotiations will not be conducted with a Palestinian government, half of which is Hamas, a terrorist organization that seeks to destroy Israel," Netanyahu said. After meeting Prime Minister in Fatah government, Salam Fayyad, in Ramallah on Thursday, Juppe said France was willing to transform a scheduled meeting of international donors into a broader “peace” conference to help prelaunch stalled negotiations. |

DAMASCUS, (SANA) – Popular Commission for the Liberation of Golan on Saturday stressed determination to return and continue the liberation process. In a statement marking the 44th anniversary of "al-Naksa Day", the Commission added "the conspiracy against Syria targets undermining its stability and security in an attempt to separate Syria from the Arab resistance through preoccupying with an internal affair." The statement indicated to the Zionist entity and its inhuman practices of forcing the people of Golan to leave their lands and destroying towns and farms which stress Israel's racism and inhumanity. The Commission stressed the Golan people's support to the reform program under the leadership of President Bahar al-Assad, expressing faith in Syria's resistant policy and the certainty of victory. The statement pointed out that the Naksa Day anniversary should be a motive for exerting more effort to continue the struggle to end the Zionist project and return to Golan. The Commission saluted people in the Occupied Golan and the captives in the occupation jails. |
