5 000 Civilians detained since the Aggression
The anniversary of Palestinian Prisoner's Day falls on April 17 this year in light of the continuation of the genocidal war waged by the "Israeli" occupation on the Gaza Strip for about 7 months.
The government media office in Gaza said: Palestinian prisoners are still subjected to the worst types of retaliatory measures, which aim to deprive them of their most basic rights, as the occupation arrested more than 5,000 innocent person from the Gaza Strip alone during the war, making the number of prisoners inside the occupation prisons nearly 10,000.
The office called on the international community to assume its moral, humanitarian and legal responsibilities, and to intervene urgently to protect the prisoners from the blatant violations they are exposed to under a racist occupation government.
He called on international and human rights organizations to make every effort to urgently release all prisoners, especially the sick, children and women.

However, the resistance confirms that the occupation deliberately hides the largest part of its losses so that they do not affect the morale of the soldiers and increases pressure on the government, according to the Palestinian Information Center.
Faltering Negotiations
Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said: The negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza are going through some stumbling, stressing that efforts are continuing to overcome this and put an end to the suffering of the Palestinians in the Strip, according to what was reported by the Al Jazeera website."

This came in a speech during a meeting of the parliamentary bloc of his Justice and Development Party, today, Wednesday, according to the Turkish Anatolia Agency.

He stressed that no one could question his sensitive positions towards Palestine, adding: “Our lives have gained meaning with the Palestinian issue.”
He pointed out that “there is no difference between the Turkish national forces during the War of Independence and the Hamas movement today,” stressing that he realizes the price of that.
He added: “We may not be able to explain some of what we have done, but those who doubt our sensitivity towards Palestine will feel shame sooner or later, and will see the extent of the injustice they committed (against us).”
He pointed out that Israel, with the unconditional support it receives from the West, is committing a massacre that has been shamefully recorded in human history with great arrogance and recklessness.
He added: “We carried Palestine in our hearts as a sacred trust at every stage of our political life, which lasted half a century.”
He continued: “While no one in the world could speak, we came out and said that Hamas is not a terrorist organization but rather a resistance group.”

Erdogan announced: “The leader of the Palestinian cause will be my guest at the end of the week and we will talk.”

Hamas stressed, “These courageous statements and honorable positions of President Erdogan embody the historical and authentic position of the brotherly Turkish people. Our people will preserve them in their struggle, as a bold voice in standing with our people in the Gaza and supporting the right of our people to liberate their land and return to it and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.”.
The World Awaits the Israeli Response

Hebrew media reports, according to the BBC Arabic website, reported that Netanyahu refused to receive calls from world leaders who may have been trying to influence him regarding the “Israeli” response to the Iranian attack.
In addition, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi threatened the Zionist entity with a harsh response if it took any action against Iran.
