Books – Islam Lutfi:

Journalist Karam Jabr, head of the Supreme Council for Media Regulation, said that the decision of the International Court of Justice regarding the situation in Gaza, if documented, satisfies everyone but does not satisfy Israel. It satisfies everyone because it granted the Arabs and Palestinians several things, such as measures that lead to the prevention of genocide. And procedures for providing and communicating humanitarian needs, preventing incitement to genocide, and punishing those who encourage it, adding that these things are reassuring.

This came during his interview with the “Mansheet” program, on the “CBC” channel, with the journalist Jaber Al-Qarmouty.

He added that the ceiling of ambition was to issue a ceasefire decision, but this did not happen, or at least to issue a decision for a long or short truce in which aid was allowed to enter, indicating that Israel is completely satisfied that neither a ceasefire nor truce decision was issued, but rather it stipulated the release of the hostages without A restriction or condition, and it is satisfied with the description of what happened on October 7, as if the decision means that Israel understands that these justifications were the reason for the war against Gaza and thus the idea of ​​self-defense.

He pointed out that the court rulings are the reasons and the operative, so the reasons are what lead to the operative, but the judge’s narration of the reasons accurately described the Israeli crimes and addressed the tragic conditions in Gaza and that it is no longer fit for life, and she also addressed the testimonies of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and international organizations, adding that all of this was It should lead to a minimum decision to bring in aid after its truce, questioning the decision to stop the genocide, saying how can this be done if there is no ceasefire or long truce.

He said that the court was subjected to pressure, and hours before the ruling, the British Foreign Minister advised against issuing a ceasefire decision because it would not be in the interest of the case, and similar statements were made by the United States and Germany, adding that the court’s decision did not deviate from the decisions of the Security Council, and at the decisive point, which is the ceasefire. Or a long truce, the Security Council and the International Court of Justice did not succeed, and if we look at President Biden’s statements, we find that they are consistent with the court’s decision, so you return the issue to square one and return to the visions and theses adopted by some countries, especially Egypt, such as a ceasefire and the two-state solution, adding that the judicial solution Or through the Security Council, it will not lead to much, as the court gave Israel a month to present measures to prevent genocide even though it has already occurred, and the whole world knows that stopping genocide is through a ceasefire.

The head of the Supreme Council for Media Regulation confirmed that the president raised an important issue related to the jurisprudence of priorities, and the question asked was whether Egyptian public opinion could bear the major crises in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, adding that if the state had not made the great achievements that occurred, would public opinion have tolerated the crises?

He said that we notice that if the electricity is cut off now for two hours, the citizens will complain, and they have the right to do so, but they must understand the reasons that led to this. Likewise, if any crisis occurs in any food supply, the citizens feel angry, pointing out that the crisis package that was present in… The period that followed 2011 represented security after the storming of prisons and the release of prisoners into cities and committing crimes, in addition to the crimes of the terrorist group, including the bombing of the Cairo and Dakahlia Security Directorate and the attack on police stations and security personnel, which made citizens feel afraid, because at that time Egypt was not safe at all. Likewise, the Friday demonstrations that came from certain areas to Tahrir Square and Ramses, and they were carrying weapons and firing. Were the Egyptians able to bear the situation? Then security and stability had to be restored, so the bill was high.

He pointed out that a lot of money was spent on rebuilding departments and security directorates, adding that protection barriers were being built around important strategic sites in Cairo and the governorates, which was what a lot of money was spent on, as well as the cost of rebuilding and arming the police after the cars that were burned and the weapons that were looted. The figure was one billion pounds each month, the cost of restoring security.

He explained that the Egyptians would not have been able to bear this fragile security situation and the operations in Sinai, because it is impossible for the country to live in a state of fear, adding that all of this was the high and costly bill that is paying its consequences until now, as well as crises such as queues in front of drinking taps in some rural areas, Some foreign satellite channels were filming this matter, and the electricity that was cut off for patients in operating rooms and children in nurseries and elevators that were attached to citizens.

He pointed out that the citizens forget what happened, adding that the role of the media is to alert the citizens about where we were, how we have become, and where we will reach in the end, adding that when the rock in Mokattam fell on the citizens and the nest was being built on a nest of snakes, and when I tried to move them, they refused at first because there was an incitement process. But those who were transported and saw human life.

He pointed out the development that took place in the Maspero Triangle, and the residents returned to their places after it was developed. In the past, no police car or ambulance could enter there, and this place was a hotbed for crimes and drugs, and other places such as Ghat al-Anab in Alexandria, and other places that… It was on the verge of collapse, adding that the state spent a lot on new cities, development and modernization, so the bill was high.

He explained that no regime in previous periods dared to invade this file, and we all watched films and programs that mocked the matter in the past, adding that you were able to eliminate these places and all the dangerous areas were eliminated 100% and you are trying to improve some other places, and he noted He pointed to the achievements that have occurred in the communications network, saying that in the past, anyone who applied for a telephone line had to wait a long time.

He said that the bill was large and expensive and part of it has been paid so far, adding that this generation was destined to bear the burdens of the old, expensive bill, pointing out that some people talk about the food conditions and the increase in prices. Indeed, citizens have the right to have a calm in prices because some groups have no longer It has the ability to purchase, but we must remember that at one time not a day went by without a commodity disappearing. Currently, availability exists, but prices are high.

He pointed to the road networks that facilitated things in different cities, adding that if they had not been implemented, Cairo and the city capitals would have turned into closed areas where no car could pass, noting that currently Cairo’s arteries have opened, and other capitals in other countries have wondered how this boom occurred. He added that roads and bridges are among the most important achievements of the state over the past 10 years.

He explained that the development in means of transportation and the transfer of ministries to the Administrative Capital made movement in Cairo better, adding that some say that this is the reason for the increase in debts and loans, but you built assets with them and rebuilt the state. Also, these projects are able to pay the installments and interest on the debts, pointing out that The increase in metro ticket prices goes partly to maintenance and partly to instalments.

He stressed that what is happening in the country currently is building the country, and any president or ruler after a long life will not take anything with him, saying that it is like the head of a family who leaves to his children what they can afford to live a decent life with.

He added that the president struck while the iron was hot with regard to the dollar, and it seems that in the coming period it will be a matter of life or death, adding that the dollar issue must be dealt with in all possible ways because any rise in prices is due to the dollar because citizens price their goods on the basis of the dollar even if they do not There is no dollar component in the commodity.

He pointed out the need for concerted efforts and for experts to provide solutions and alternatives to the matter, as well as businessmen, banks, industrialists, farmers, and academics, and for an agenda to be agreed upon, adding that there are indications, some of which have been announced, that you will attract a large package of Arab and foreign investments and will pump a lot of money, which will help to create… In the atmosphere, there must also be more work to maximize the local component, as well as increasing exports, which has many proposals, as a country like Turkey does not give support on exports except for the torch that comes with an invoice.

He explained that you cannot force Egyptians abroad to deal with banks unless the price is balanced with those abroad, pointing out that there are some brokers in some Arab capitals who obtain money from Egyptians and transfer it inside Egypt away from the banking system. If this balance occurs, he will resort to… Citizen to official methods, and explained that dealing with the dollar during the coming period will lead to a solution to all crises, especially since you export in pounds and import in dollars.

He said that the crises on the border affect Egypt, as there is currently a deficit of up to 42% in Suez Canal revenues due to what is happening in the Red Sea from the Houthis attacking ships, which the United States exploited to expand the scope of the war, and Egypt warned from the beginning against attacking the Houthis because They could have been dealt with amicably, adding to the situation in Gaza.

He stressed that approaching the Philadelphia axis is a red line, adding that Israel will realize that it will pay a scandalous bill in the coming period and the deficit, unemployment and reverse migration have begun. It is based on immigration and is sabotaging Gaza so that it becomes a land without residents and replaces them with other residents, and the International Court of Justice can for the first time It sheds light on Israel’s attacks and condemns them in this way. After being a victim and lamenting the Holocaust that happened to it, Israel has become a perpetrator, and in the eyes of many peoples of the world, it is an aggressor state and is carrying out genocide against a peaceful people.

He said that the Palestinian issue and what is happening in Gaza are likely to continue. There are talks in Israel that the war will continue for a year or two, and the situation in the Red Sea is also likely to continue. Likewise, there is no agreement in Sudan and they are entering into a division, and Libya as well. May God protect them and not divide them and dismantle their wealth. Adding that these are the lessons that must be before our eyes after January 25.

Likewise, the doctor in charge of the critical care department in Qasr Al-Aini, who had performed a kidney transplant surgery, and when the thieves stopped him, he asked them to take the car and leave him, but they took him with them, which caused his death, so they threw him on the side of the road, as well as what happened in front of the Ittihadiya Palace, saying, “This is the situation.” The security we used to live.

He explained that the terrorist group tried to terrorize citizens, destroy confidence in the state agencies and that they cannot protect you, and work to find an alternative authority such as the Khairat Al-Shater militia, which were trying to replace the army with their own army, as well as the police and the judiciary, and betray the state, adding that the state cannot be betrayed because it is the oldest. in history.
