00:00 Hello, welcome to the international press conference.
00:08 The Israeli army launched new strikes on Hamas positions in Gaza, the Times of Israel reports.
00:14 No victims have been reported, but the Palestinian health authorities have indicated that Israeli
00:19 forces shot 11 people on Tuesday along the border.
00:23 Troubles broke out for the first time earlier this month, shortly after the announcement
00:28 by the Hamas Ministry of Finance of the reduction of more than half of the salaries of officials,
00:33 thus aggravating the financial crisis in the enclave that has suffered for 16 years from
00:37 the Israeli-Egyptian blocus.
00:39 The temporary spatial and temporal segregation system implemented by Israel on the other
00:44 side of the green line ensures the migration of occupied territories to the benefit of
00:49 the Israeli army and its supporters.
00:51 Orient 21 returns to the daily obstacles imposed on the Palestinians.
00:54 Dams, checkpoints and wild colonies are suffocating any attempt to live normally,
01:00 learning in this paper that there is a 101 type of different permits to control the
01:04 circulation of Palestinians.
01:06 A real bureaucracy administers this segregation system.
01:10 Israeli settlers living in the occupied territories are not subject to such delays to
01:15 pass the checkpoints and the state has even opened special roads for them to move
01:20 more easily.
01:21 In Israel, justice is asymmetric, impunity reigns and access to water and health depends
01:28 on your affiliation.
01:29 The situation is not exactly the same as in South Africa, but Israel has indeed established
01:34 an apartheid regime with its own specificities.
01:37 Is this apartheid liberal?
01:39 writes Charles Anderlin.
01:41 The point is shared by his libel entitled "In the name of the Temple".
01:45 The Franco-Israeli author defends the thesis of an anti-liberal offensive led by Benjamin
01:49 Netanyahu and his ultra-Orthodox and Zionist messianic allies on the state of Israel.
01:55 The text in question describes the agony of a democracy and is entitled "In the name of
02:01 the Temple".
02:02 Returning methodically to the laws adopted by the Israeli Prime Minister since 2009,
02:06 the Franco-Israeli, long-time correspondent to France 2 in Jerusalem, denounces the regime
02:11 change wanted by the current coalition in power through the controversial reform of
02:16 the court of justice.
02:17 A reform denounced by a large part of the Israeli population.
02:21 The New York Times tells the epilogue of the Okarabar conflict.
02:26 It is the incredible and sudden end of a long and bloody conflict in the Caucasus.
02:31 After decades of war and a tense passage, almost no one saw it coming, Azerbaijan took
02:37 the Okarabakh from Armenian control, apparently overnight.
02:41 So quickly that its Armenian-born population had only a few minutes to pack their bags.
02:46 And join an exodus motivated by the fear of ethnic cleansing.
02:50 Tens of thousands of people died in both camps, destroying the careers of two presidents,
02:56 one Armenian and the other Azerbaijani, and tormenting a whole generation of American,
03:02 Russian and European diplomats who defended the Morne peace plans.
03:05 This survived six American presidents.
03:07 Between Christian Armenia and the Turkophobic Muslim Azeris, hatred is ancient and deep
03:14 in the Arab News.
03:15 Cohabitation is unlikely.
03:17 In 1991, Armenia, taking advantage of the weak state of Azerbaijan, launched a war
03:22 that killed 30,000 to conquer this territory.
03:25 Subsequently, all attempts at negotiation failed, until Azerbaijan, enriched by the
03:29 trade of its oil and gas and supported by Turkey, resumed fighting in 2020 and occupied
03:35 a large part of the lost territories.
03:38 Now that Armenia has capitulated, the author of this chronicle is worried about a threat
03:42 he calls real, ethnic cleansing.
03:45 The Azeri power does not want to recognize the particularity of this enclave, populated
03:49 by 120,000 Armenian refugees, and give it the slightest autonomy.
03:53 In the Caucasus, history is a powerful tool to understand the context of the high Karabakh.
04:01 The debate around its status dates back to 1920.
04:04 Armenian-Azerbaijani nationalism, which was called the Tatars of the Caucasus at the time,
04:09 and Georgians, find their origins in the Tsarist era.
04:12 Towards the end of the 19th century, patriotic Georgian, Armenian and Azeri movements formed
04:19 to claim rights within the Tsarist Empire.
04:22 The Armenians, in particular, contested the decisions taken in 1920 by Stalin, the attribution
04:27 of Nakhichevan and Karabakh to Azerbaijan.
04:33 Even though there was a large majority of Armenians in this second territory, concretely
04:38 the Armenians of Karabakh were considered to be discriminated against, in particular at
04:43 school, in the media, in political life, which led them to ask for their attachment to Armenia.
04:49 These claims, which emerge at the end of the 80s, led to very violent clashes
04:54 between the two communities, notably an anti-Armenian pogrom in Baku in 1988.
05:01 That was the point of history to understand the news.
05:04 Thank you for following the International Press Review.
05:06 Have a good day.
