Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo on Thursday revoked the prestigious Medal of the City of Paris awarded to Mahmoud Abbas in 2015, according to an open letter she wrote to the Palestinian Authority president on Thursday evening.
In the letter, obtained by Israeli and French media, Hidalgo wrote that she is revoking Abbas' medal, known in French as La médaille Grand Vermeil de Paris, due to his recent comments in which he expressed a "clear desire to deny the genocide to which the Jewish populations of Europe were victims at the hands of the Nazi regime."

The "Israeli" occupation forces arrested, at dawn today, Thursday, September 7, 2023, the leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Sheikh Saeed Nakhleh, after storming his house in the Jalazoun camp, north of Ramallah.
...It is noteworthy that the occupation forces are escalating the assassinations and arrests against the Mujahideen of our people and the leaders and cadres of the Islamic Jihad movement in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
Then came the assertions that this arrest shows Israeli weakness and that will not negatively affect Islamic Jihad in any way:Dr. Jamil Alayan, a leader in the Islamic Jihad Movement and Director General of the Muhjat al-Quds Foundation, said the “Israeli” occupation is fully responsible for the life of Sheikh Saeed Nakhla and for his health condition, as the Sheikh suffers from a number of chronic and serious diseases, and that this arrest will further complicate the health situation .
Leader Elayan said: The Zionist enemy's arrest at dawn of the leader and great national symbol, Saeed Nakhla, constitutes a miserable step and a failed attempt to hide its security failure in the West Bank and to give a false image of reassurance to its soldiers and settlers.
And he considered that the enemy's continuation of the arrest campaigns against our people in an unprecedented manner, in addition to the killing operations, will not achieve security for this enemy and will increase the strength and flames of the resistance in the West Bank and everywhere.
Musab al-Baram, spokesman for the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, confirmed today that the campaign of "Israeli" arrests against the cadres of the Islamic Jihad Movement, the last of whom is Sheikh Saeed Nakhla, reflects the anxiety experienced by "Israel" at the security and political levels.
The occupation forces are escalating their frantic campaign against the Palestinian resistance, especially the Islamic Jihad movement, with assassinations and arrests against the mujahideen in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, the latest of which was the arrest of Sheikh Saeed Nakhla from his home in the Jalazoun camp, north of Ramallah.
Al-Buraim explained that the Zionist enemy lives in a political security concern, which explains the persecution and arrest of the resistance men, especially the Islamic Jihad cadres and members of the Al-Quds Brigades in the occupied West Bank.
The spokesman for the Jihad confirmed that if the occupation tried assassinations, the resistance would become more severe for the occupier and carry the message of the martyrs and their commandments. It is an open battle with the enemy."

In the next paragraph, the AP reporter provided information showing that Pardo wasn’t telling the truth:Pardo said Israeli citizens can get into a car and drive wherever they want, excluding the blockaded Gaza Strip, but that Palestinians can’t drive everywhere. He said that his views on the system in the West Bank were “not extreme. It’s a fact.”
Indeed, anyone who lives in Israel, or has spent time driving on its roads across the green line, has seen signs alerting Israelis to this reality, which points to the absurdity of imputing apartheid-style racism to what are largely security-driven restrictions on both Israelis and Palestinians in the territoriesIsraelis are barred from entering Palestinian areas of the West Bank, but can drive across Israel and throughout the 60% of the West Bank that Israel controls. Palestinians need permission from Israel to enter the country and often must pass through military checkpoints to move within the West Bank.
But, as CAMERA’s David Litman has argued, Israel’s ‘military regime’ over Palestinians is “precisely what international law requires of Israel”, which, while viewing the territory as disputed rather than occupied, “voluntarily applies the law of occupation to the West Bank pending a final peace deal”. If Israel were to apply civilian law to West Bank Palestinians, he adds, that would require annexation, a move which would widely be characterised as “illegal”. As the legal scholar Yoram Dinstein has written, “the government of an occupied territory is military per definitionem,”Pardo told the Associated Press that Israel’s mechanisms for controlling the Palestinians, from restrictions on movement to placing them under military law while Jewish settlers in the occupied territories are governed by civilian courts, matched the old South Africa.
“There is an apartheid state here,” he said. “In a territory where two people are judged under two legal systems, that is an apartheid state.”
First, note how McGreal casually imputes bad faith to Israeli claims that such accusations are either intrinsically antisemitic or at least motivated by anti-Jewish animus – ignoring the fact that the roots of the apartheid charge lay in Soviet antisemitic and anti-Zionist propaganda. Also, it isn’t just “Israeli governments” which have pushed back against the apartheid charge, but European democracies as well. Further, during the summer, The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution affirming that Israel is neither a racist nor apartheid state by a vote of 412-9.Successive Israeli governments have fought back against accusations of apartheid by characterising them as antisemitic out of concern the charge will fuel a boycott movement or open the way to prosecutions under international laws against apartheid.

The residents aren't even given a choice of whether they would rather have their own spaces to live in, or crowd into mosques and schools with hundreds of others.
The Director General of the 302nd Committee for Defending Refugee Rights (an independent organization based in Beirut), Ali Huwaidi, rejected the decision of the Red Cross in Lebanon to set up tents in the municipal stadium square, in the city of Sidon, to shelter Palestinian refugees displaced from the “Ain al-Hilweh” camp.
Huwaidi said, in a special statement to Quds Press on Saturday evening, that the refusal is because the sight of the tents brings back to the memory of the Nakba for Palestinians, the suffering they went through in 1948, when they lived in tents for years.

We are also very concerned that the Government of Israel insisted that the MOU explicitly indicate that equal treatment requirements would not extend beyond the strict confines of the visa waiver process. Specifically, the MOU includes a provision that “Nothing in this Memorandum is intended to apply to principles and commitments not otherwise addressed in this Memorandum, to include… regulations applicable to use of Israeli vehicles and vehicle transit. ” While we understand that ground transportation is not directly a part of the Visa Waiver Program, the inclusion of that provision indicates that the Government of Israel reserves the right to provide unequal treatment to certain groups of U.S. citizens once they enter the country. Indeed, we have already received reports that U.S. citizens with Palestinian ID cards who land at Ben Gurion Airport cannot then rent cars to travel within Israel. We have also received reports of U.S. citizens with Palestinian ID cards being stopped at checkpoints, as Palestinians are not permitted to drive across certain checkpoints within Israel.
