اتخذ متحف الصور السويسري الكائن بمدينة “لوزان” يوم أمس الأربعاء، قراراً جريئاً وغير مسبوق “حماية لحرية الفن والفنانين” كما وصفه المتحف، وذلك بعد أن قرر إلغاء مسابقة دولية للفن تعتبر من بين المنافسات الهامة في أوروبا، حيث أقيم عوضاً عنها معرضاً فنياً خاصاً بعرض صور الفنانة الفلسطينية لاريسا صنصور “التي سبق لشركة لاكوست الفرنسة رفض مشاركتها في المسابقة بحجة أن صورها مؤيدة بشدة للفلسطينيين والقضية الفلسطينية”.
اللجنة الوطنية لمقاطعة إسرائيل وسحب الاستثمارات منها وفرض العقوبات عليها
طالبت جامعة الدول العربية على لسان الأمين العام المساعد لشؤون فلسطين والأراضي المحتلة السفير محمد صبيح، بتفعيل المقاطعة العربية الرسمية والشعبية لإسرائيل.وجاء ذلك خلال الدورة الـ86 لضباط اتصال المكاتب الإقليمية لمقاطعة إسرائيل التابع للجامعة العربية، والتي افتتحت أمس الاثنين بمقر الجامعة بالقاهرة بعدما ظلت تعقد لأكثر من سنوات بدمشق.وقال السفير محمد صبيح في افتتاح الدورة “إن المطلوب هو أن تبقى المقاطعة هدفنا من غير تحريف، ويتطلب الالتزام بما نتفق عليه اتفاقًا يعكس قناعة حقيقية يجعله قابلا للتنفيذ“.وشدد على ضرورة تفعيل إجراءات المقاطعة كورقة ضغط على إسرائيل، خاصة بعد تصريحات لرئيس الكنيست (البرلمان) الإسرائيلي قال فيها “إن إسرائيل تمتد من النيل إلى الفرات“.
Arab League hosts first ‘boycott Israel’ meeting in 10 years
The Commissioner General of the Arab League Boycott Office, Ghaleb Saad, highlighted the significance of holding the meeting in the Arab League’s headquarters in Cairo, where the idea of boycotting Israel first began 60 years ago. He noted that the Arab League was the main organization from which the Boycott Office derives its legitimacy and support in order to carry out its duties in collaboration with officials at the Arab League’s Palestine Sector.
“The notion of Arab boycott of Israel has been out there for more than sixty years”, Saad added.
Star-Studded lineup for Qatar Ladies Open
14 Jan 2011
Qatar Tennis Federation (QTF) is set to organize the ninth edition of Qatar Ladies Open at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex from 21-26, February 2011.
This year’s edition is expected to be the most exciting since the tournament started in 2001, as it will feature twenty out of the top thirty ranked players in WTA rankings.
Among the confirmed participants are world number one Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark) and world number two Vera Zvonareva (Russia), in addition to four former world number one players, Maria Sharapova (Russia), Justine Henin (Belgium), Jelena Jankovic (Serbia) and Ana Ivanovic (Serbia).
Wozniacki had a remarkable 2010 season where she clinched six titles to lead the WTA Ranking. The
Danish superstar is aiming to secure her first title in Doha after losing in the final of 2010 WTA Championships to Belgian Kim Clijsters 3–6, 7–5, 3–6 in September.
World number two Vera Zvonareva will be facing huge pressure this season to keep her highest ever position in the WTA rankings, a win in Qatar Ladies Open will be a plus, specially that she only won one WTA title last year and lost five finals including Wimbledon and US Open.
For former world Number one Sharapova, winning the title in Doha will be a major step in reviving her career. The three-time grand slam winner suffered a shoulder injury in 2008 while she was the world number one.
She was out for nearly a year and dropped out of the top 100 ranked players. Since her return in 2009 she was able to win three WTA titles and was back to the top 20. The Russian beauty won the title twice in Doha 2005 and 2008.
Belgian legend Henin, won 43 WTA singles titles including seven Grand Slam singles and also led the WTA Standings before retiring in 2008 to spend more time with her family.
Henin made a successful return to the WTA stage in early 2010, losing the the Australian Open final against American Serena Williams. The 28-years-old lifted the Qatar ladies Open trophy in 2007 after defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final.
Other notable names in Qatar ladies Open this year include Italian Francesca Schiavone who won Roland Garros title last year, and promising young star Victoria Azarenka of Belarus who secured three WTA hard-court titles over the last two years (Cincinnati – Memphis – Indiana Wells).
“The participation of these stars in the 2011 Qatar ladies Open is not a surprise for us, it’s the result of our fruitful efforts over the last two decades to organize top class tennis events” said QTF President Mr. Nasser Bin Ghanem Al Khelaifi.
“World’s top players prefer events in Doha; most of them came here before and enjoyed professional organizing, nice weather and fantastic crowds. All this helps them to give their best on the court, while we do our best to organize a successful event” he added.
Tournament Director Mr. Karim Alami expected huge demand for Qatar Ladies Open tickets this year.
“Tennis became a very popular sport in Qatar, year after year we see more crowds coming to the events organized by QTF. During the 2011 ATP Qatar ExxonMobil Open Final, the stands were full at the main court despite the fact that world number one Rafael Nadal was knocked out from the semi- finals” he said.
“With the star-studded lineup of the event this year we expect large numbers of spectators from the first days of the tournament” he added.
The tickets for the 2011 Qatar Ladies can be purchased through the official website of Qatar Tennis Federation http://www.qatartennis.org.
From the 21st of January, tickets will be available in Villaggio and Landmark shopping centers as well as Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.
