The three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today continued to focus on the government and army-backed Israeli settler terrorism in the occupied West Bank, particularly Ramallah-area villages. ‘Settlers continue in their terrorism and the occupation deploys two more brigades in the West Bank,’ said the main front-page story headline in al-Hayat al-Jadida daily. Al-Ayyam daily had more or less a similar headline for its main front-page story and said that the settlers continue setting fires in Turmus Ayya. The third daily, al-Quds, also said in its main front-page headline that Israel is going to boost its forces in the West Bank with two more brigades. Al-Quds, al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida also said that the Biden Administration has canceled decisions by former US President Donald Trump to finance projects and scientific cooperation with settlements. Al-Quds said Israeli officials are warning that settler terrorism in the occupied territories could lead to the pursuit of Israeli military commanders in international courts. Al-Ayyam said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to continue building in settlements at a large scale. It also said that the two far-right and fascist Israeli cabinet ministers, Ben Gvir and Smotrich, rejected criticism by the Israeli military of settler terrorism. It said Israel may allow Gazans to travel to Turkey through Ramon airport, in southern Israel. Al-Hayat al-Jadida said the Palestinian foreign ministry has called on the International Criminal Court to end its silence in light of an admission by Israeli officials of settler terrorism. The dailies also reported on the pilgrimage to Makkah, the wars in Sudan and Ukraine, and the end of the conflict in Russia.
