\r\n\r\nJAKARTA, Indonesia (MNTV) - Indonesian authorities deployed more than 600 rescuers Monday to search for 129 people still missing after a passenger ship capsized in the Java Sea, according to local media.\r\n\r\nThe Virgo Transport 8 was carrying 243 people when it capsized in bad weather early Sunday while traveling from Surabaya in East Java to Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan.\r\n\r\nAt least 108 people have been rescued and six have been confirmed dead, the Indonesian news outlet Detik.com reported, citing data from the National Search and Rescue Agency, or Basarnas, and the Transportation Ministry.\r\n\r\nBasarnas chief Mohammad Syafii said around 622 personnel were deployed Monday, with ships and aircraft involved in the expanded search operation.

MNTV News Desk<\/strong> \u2014 Israeli policies and practices in the occupied West Bank have entered an accelerated phase that is systematically undermining Palestinian life, land, movement, livelihoods and political and social institutions, according to a new report by human rights organization B\u2019Tselem.<\/p>\r\n

The report, titled The Elimination Project<\/em>, describes what it calls a coordinated \u201cmechanism of elimination\u201d operating across the West Bank, where about 3.5 million Palestinians live. B\u2019Tselem says the system has intensified since the formation of Israel\u2019s current government at the end of 2022 and escalated further after October 2023.<\/p>\r\n

According to the report, restrictions and violence affect routine activities ranging from traveling to work and taking children to school to accessing medical care, attending universities, cultivating agricultural land, visiting relatives and participating in cultural and community life.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem argues that these developments should not be viewed as isolated incidents of human rights violations but as interconnected policies that reinforce one another.<\/p>\r\n

The organization identifies five principal areas through which it says the mechanism operates: violence and intimidation, movement restrictions, economic strangulation, social and political destruction, and ethnic cleansing and territorial takeover.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThese five domains operate at once and reinforce one another,\u201d the report says, arguing that restrictions on movement and economic activity weaken livelihoods and social ties while displacement further fragments Palestinian communities.<\/p>\r\n

The report says violence plays a central role in the system by creating the coercive conditions under which other measures operate.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem says Palestinians in the West Bank face the possibility of violence by Israeli soldiers or armed settlers, arrest, imprisonment, abuse and, in some cases, death. It also describes increasing restrictions on access to Palestinian land and agricultural areas.<\/p>\r\n

The organization says settlement farms and outposts have become important instruments in expanding Israeli control over territory, while Palestinian farmers are increasingly prevented from reaching or cultivating their land.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem also points to what it describes as a growing disparity between Israeli and Palestinian political and territorial rights.<\/p>\r\n

The report argues that Israeli authorities are seeking to make Israeli presence across the West Bank continuous and permanent while leaving Palestinian communities increasingly fragmented and dependent.<\/p>\r\n

It says this process extends beyond physical control of territory to what it describes as a struggle over historical, religious and national narratives.<\/p>\r\n

According to B\u2019Tselem, Israeli flags are increasingly prominent in the West Bank while Palestinian flags are removed from public spaces. The organization also accuses Israeli forces of protecting settlers involved in attacks on Palestinians while suppressing Palestinian demonstrations.<\/p>\r\n

The report links these practices to a broader ideological framework that it describes as having \u201csettler-colonial characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The report says mechanisms used to control Palestinian life have existed for decades but have become significantly more aggressive in recent years.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem identifies the Israeli government's policies since late 2022, and particularly those implemented since October 2023, as a major turning point.<\/p>\r\n'Decisive Plan'<\/strong>\r\n

The organization says practices previously associated primarily with the Gaza war have increasingly appeared in the West Bank, including airstrikes, extensive destruction of residential areas and infrastructure, mass displacement and changes to the use of force.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem also highlights Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich\u2019s 2017 \u201cDecisive Plan\u201d as an important document for understanding the current political direction.<\/p>\r\n

According to the report, the plan presents Palestinians with three broad choices: accepting Jewish supremacy and abandoning national aspirations, leaving the territory, or facing violent repression if they resist.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem says elements of the plan have subsequently been reflected in government policy, budgets, institutional powers and actions on the ground.<\/p>\r\n

The organization argues that the developments in the West Bank cannot be separated from the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict or the war in Gaza.<\/p>\r\n

It says the intensity of Israeli military operations and restrictions in the West Bank has increased since October 2023, creating conditions that have contributed to displacement and the weakening of Palestinian communities.<\/p>\r\n

The report also examines the legal implications of the policies it documents.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem acknowledges that \u201celimination\u201d is not a specific legal category under international law. However, it argues that the individual practices making up what it calls the elimination mechanism are prohibited under international law.<\/p>\r\n

Its legal analysis concludes that Israel uses its military occupation of the West Bank as a central instrument for maintaining what B\u2019Tselem characterizes as an apartheid regime.<\/p>\r\n

The organization says the policies and acts carried out within that system meet the legal definition of apartheid, which is recognized as a crime against humanity.<\/p>\r\n

The report further identifies potential violations involving annexation, settlements, deportation and forcible transfer, as well as violations of Palestinians\u2019 right to self-determination.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem says the report draws on approximately 2,000 testimonies collected from Palestinians in the West Bank in recent years, together with field research, documentation by other organizations, official Israeli documents, legislation, government resolutions and other data.<\/p>\r\n

The report says its approach differs from conventional human rights documentation, which often focuses on individual incidents.<\/p>\r\n

Instead, B\u2019Tselem says it examined how individual policies interact and contribute to a broader system of control.<\/p>\r\n

The organization argues that restrictions on movement can prevent people from reaching jobs, schools, hospitals and farmland. Economic pressure can weaken families and community institutions, while displacement can destroy homes, agricultural livelihoods, social networks and collective memory.<\/p>\r\n

Political and social fragmentation, in turn, can make it more difficult for Palestinians to organize and challenge policies affecting their communities, the report says.<\/p>\r\nWeakening Palestinian collective existence <\/strong>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem concludes that the current situation is not simply a temporary crisis or a series of unrelated violations.<\/p>\r\n

It describes the developments as an accelerated phase of what it calls a longstanding project aimed at weakening Palestinian collective existence while expanding Israeli control over the West Bank.<\/p>\r\n

The report also criticizes the international community for what B\u2019Tselem describes as decades of \u201cde facto impunity\u201d for Israel.<\/p>\r\n

According to the organization, international governments have largely responded to Israeli policies through diplomatic calls for restraint, renewed political negotiations and opposition to unilateral measures rather than through measures designed to fundamentally alter the system.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem argues that political, military and economic support for Israel, together with diplomatic protection, has allowed the policies it documents to continue.<\/p>\r\n

The organization says the international response to the war in Gaza has also failed to produce the fundamental policy shift it believes is necessary to address Israeli conduct in both Gaza and the West Bank.<\/p>\r\n

It warns that continued international inaction allows violence, economic restrictions, displacement and territorial expansion in the West Bank to proceed.<\/p>\r\n

The report calls for a fundamental change in the political structure governing Palestinians and Israelis.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem says measures aimed at protecting individuals from immediate harm remain important but argues that limited reforms cannot resolve what it identifies as the underlying structure of oppression.<\/p>\r\n

It rejects the idea that returning to a less restrictive form of Israeli control would be sufficient, arguing that the system itself must change.<\/p>\r\n

The organization calls for an end to what it describes as Israeli crimes and the dismantling of the apartheid system.<\/p>\r\n

It says any future political order covering the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea should be based on freedom, equality, justice and democracy rather than ethnic or national supremacy.<\/p>\r\n

The report also emphasizes Palestinian collective rights, including the right to determine their political future.<\/p>\r\n

B\u2019Tselem argues that recognition of both individual and collective Palestinian rights is necessary for any sustainable political settlement.<\/p>","post_title":"B\u2019Tselem report says Israeli policies accelerating Palestinian dispossession in West Bank","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"btselem-report-says-israeli-policies-are-accelerating-palestinian-dispossession-in-west-bank","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 08:03:23","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 08:03:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71444","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71441,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_content":"

\r\n\r\nMUSCAT, Oman (MNTV) - Oman announced the postponement of a regional meeting scheduled for Monday in its southern city of Salalah to discuss arrangements for a new maritime route through the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nThe Omani Foreign Ministry said late Sunday that the meeting had been postponed to a later date \"to help create appropriate conditions for constructive dialogue.\"\r\n\r\nIt said the decision was taken out of a desire to create conditions for talks that can lead to sustainable understandings supporting regional security and stability and meeting the aspirations of the region\u2019s peoples for cooperation and peace.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn the interests of consensus, the regional meeting set for tomorrow in Salalah has been postponed,\u201d Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi wrote on the US social media platform X.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe remain committed to fostering dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in our region,\u201d he added.\r\n\r\nAlbusaidi accompanied his post with the flags of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, indicating the countries that had been expected to take part.\r\n\r\nHe did not announce a new date for the meeting or elaborate on the reason for its postponement.\r\n\r\nThe postponement came a day after Bahrain rejected participation in a proposed regional ministerial meeting involving Iran.\r\n\r\nThe Bahraini Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Manama will not participate in any collective ministerial meeting with Iran before diplomatic relations between the two countries were restored.\r\n\r\nThe statement came in response to reports about a proposed ministerial meeting on developments in the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nIranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Friday that Tehran would organize the meeting, hosted by Oman, at the foreign minister level and with the participation of eight countries bordering the Gulf.\r\n\r\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier Sunday told the London-based Arabic-language news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that \u201cthe main, and indeed the only, agenda of this meeting is the new maritime route in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe said Iran and Oman had finalized an agreement setting out the new route, along with maps and a joint statement detailing the arrangements.\r\n\r\nHe stressed that the agreement with Oman \u201cby no means\u201d signifies the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nBahrain is among Gulf states that have been targeted by Iran during its confrontation with the US.\r\n\r\nTehran has previously targeted sites it said were linked to US forces in Bahrain, including Isa Air Base, in retaliation for US strikes against Iranian targets.\r\n\r\n\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bThe US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February, prompting Tehran to retaliate against Israel and US military targets across the region.\r\n\r\nThe US and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum in June with Pakistani and Qatari mediation, but its implementation later stalled amid disagreements over the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nThe US resumed military attacks on Iran in August, with Tehran responding by striking US military assets in several Arab countries aligned with Washington.\r\n\r\n<\/div>","post_title":"Oman postpones regional meeting on new Strait of Hormuz maritime route","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"oman-postpones-regional-meeting-on-new-strait-of-hormuz-maritime-route","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71441","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71424,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2026-09-14 05:16:48","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:16:48","post_content":"

\r\n\r\nJERUSALEM (MNTV) - Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened Sunday to \u201celiminate\u201d anyone approaching the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, saying the army was preparing to take control of the area.\r\n\r\nKatz claimed that Israeli forces had killed Hezbollah fighters and destroyed their tunnels there and were preparing to prevent the group or any other party from re-establishing a presence.\r\n\r\nHe said the ridge forms part of what Israel calls the \u201cyellow line\u201d and a self-declared \u201csecurity zone\u201d inside Lebanon covering about 700 square kilometers (270 square miles).\r\n\r\nHe also said that Israel would not withdraw or redeploy until Hezbollah was disarmed across Lebanon.\r\n\r\nThere was no immediate comment from Lebanese authorities or Hezbollah.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday, the Israeli army carried out a powerful explosion at the Ali al-Taher ridge, saying it destroyed a Hezbollah tunnel network and other infrastructure extending more than two kilometers (1.24 miles).\r\n\r\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later described the site as the \u201clargest Iranian site outside Iran.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe ridge lies north of the Litani River between Kfar Tibnit and Nabatieh al-Fawqa and overlooks large parts of southern Lebanon, giving it strategic military significance.\r\n\r\nEarlier this month, Netanyahu claimed that Israeli forces had completed the \u201cclearing\u201d of the area.\r\n\r\nIsraeli attacks in Lebanon have killed nearly 4,400 people and injured 12,500 others since March 2, according to official Lebanese figures.\r\n\r\nIsrael continues to occupy areas in southern Lebanon, including territory held for decades and other locations seized during recent wars and military operations.\r\n\r\n<\/div>","post_title":"Israeli defense minister threatens to \u2018eliminate\u2019 anyone approaching southern Lebanon heights","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"israeli-defense-minister-threatens-to-eliminate-anyone-approaching-southern-lebanon-heights","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 05:12:51","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:12:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71422","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71427,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2026-09-14 05:11:39","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:11:39","post_content":"

NEW DELHI, India (MNTV) \u2014\u00a0A Hindu nationalist student organization in India has demanded that a leading law university cancel a documentary about Muslim student activist Umar Khalid, as supporters mark six years since he was jailed under a sweeping anti-terrorism law without his trial beginning.<\/p>\r\n
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has asked the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru to stop Monday's planned screening of filmmaker Lalit Vachani's Prisoner No. 626710 is Present. The screening is being organized by a student group in solidarity with Khalid on the anniversary of his arrest.<\/p>\r\n
ABVP is the student organization affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Hindu supremacist ideological movement that spawned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and remains deeply influential in India's Hindu nationalist politics.<\/p>\r\n
Khalid, a former student leader at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, was arrested on Sept. 14, 2020, and accused of involvement in a conspiracy behind deadly communal violence in the Indian capital earlier that year.<\/p>\r\n
He has remained imprisoned ever since under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), an anti-terrorism law that makes obtaining bail exceptionally difficult. Khalid denies the allegations against him and has not been convicted of any crime.<\/p>\r\n
His prolonged imprisonment has become an international symbol of concerns over India's use of anti-terror legislation against government critics and Muslim activists, particularly those involved in protests against a controversial citizenship law introduced by Modi's Hindu nationalist government.<\/p>\r\n
The Bengaluru screening was scheduled a day after Political Prisoners' Day, observed by rights activists in India on Sept. 13, and forms part of a series of gatherings marking Khalid's six years in custody.<\/p>\r\n
ABVP Bengaluru Secretary Abhinandan Mirji said the organization had formally complained to the university and demanded cancellation, arguing that campuses should promote \u201cnational integrity and learning\u201d rather than become platforms for political propaganda or what it described as glorification of civil unrest.<\/p>\r\n
A lawyer, Girish Bharadwaj, separately wrote to university Vice Chancellor Sudhir Krishnaswamy seeking cancellation of the screening.<\/p>\r\n
The effort follows another controversy involving Khalid at Jawaharlal Nehru University, where administrators last month withdrew permission for a venue scheduled to host a discussion of his book, Fractured Communities: Adivasi Histories and the Politics of Power.<\/p>\r\n
Khalid's father, Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, accused ABVP of taking an authoritarian approach toward a man who has never been convicted.<\/p>\r\n
\u201cUntil a court convicts a person, they are considered innocent in the eyes of the law,\u201d Ilyas said.<\/p>\r\n
Khalid was among activists prosecuted following protests against India's Citizenship Amendment Act, or CAA, which fast-tracks citizenship for migrants belonging to several religions from neighboring countries but excludes Muslims.<\/p>\r\n
Critics have long argued that combining the law with citizenship-verification exercises could disproportionately threaten Muslims' status in India.<\/p>\r\n
Ilyas said activists who participated in the anti-CAA movement were subsequently implicated in the Delhi violence and questioned why his son remained behind bars after six years without trial.<\/p>\r\n
The dispute over the documentary has therefore extended the controversy surrounding Khalid beyond his imprisonment, raising questions over whether even campus discussions about one of India's most prominent jailed Muslim activists can take place without pressure from organizations aligned with the country's dominant Hindu nationalist movement.<\/p>","post_title":"Hindutva student group seeks ban on film about jailed Indian Muslim activist","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hindutva-student-group-seeks-ban-on-film-about-jailed-indian-muslim-activist","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 05:07:20","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:07:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71436","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71419,"post_author":"25","post_date":"2026-09-11 23:34:02","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-11 23:34:02","post_content":"Over <\/span>two million students across Ontario <\/b>returned to school on September 8, <\/span>encountering a range of changes<\/b> both inside and outside their classrooms. Here are some of the key updates:<\/span>\r\n\r\nStandardized Testing<\/b>\r\n\r\nHigh school students will experience significant changes to standardized testing. The province has implemented uniform assessment standards for all students, regardless of the school or board they attend. This means that <\/span>most secondary courses will now require a written exam<\/b> to contribute to the final course mark. For students in <\/span>Grades 9 and 10<\/b>, this exam will account for <\/span>20%<\/b> of their grade, while for <\/span>Grades 11 and 12<\/b>, it will make up <\/span>25%<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAbsenteeism and Participation<\/b>\r\n\r\nAttendance and participation will now impact final grades: <\/span>15% in Grades 9 and 10<\/b>, and <\/span>10% in Grades 11 and 12<\/b>. Students with excused absences will not be penalized. The new assessment criteria categorize students based on their level of engagement and attendance.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor instance, a \"<\/span>Level 4<\/b>\" student (the <\/span>highest grade<\/span>) is engaged, shows positive leadership, and <\/span>misses 0 to 2.5% of classes<\/b> (two or fewer unexcused absences per semester). Conversely, a \"<\/span>Below Level 1<\/b>\" student (the lowest grade) typically struggles academically and <\/span>misses more than 10% of classes<\/b> (nine or more unexcused absences per semester). <\/span>This represents a major shift<\/b> from the previous system, <\/span>where 100% of marks were based solely on coursework<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEQAO Test<\/b>\r\n\r\nStarting this academic year, the <\/span>Education Quality and Accountability Office<\/b> (EQAO) test <\/span>will account for<\/b> 20% of a Grade 9<\/b> student's <\/span>final math grade<\/b>. This decision follows a warning from Education Minister Paul Calandra in December 2025, citing insufficient progress in reading, writing, and especially math based on recent standardized test data.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGrade 10 Financial Literacy Test<\/b>\r\n\r\nStudents entering Grade 9 in the 2025\/2026 school year and beyond <\/span>must complete a financial literacy test to graduate<\/b>. This test, <\/span>administered during the Grade 10 career studies course<\/b>, will count as <\/span>5% of their final grade<\/b>. Students <\/span>must score at least 70% to pass<\/b>, and they <\/span>will have two attempts<\/b>. The test assesses core financial literacy concepts taught in Grades 1 through 9 and includes learning modules and assessment questions developed by TVO.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKindergarten Curriculum Overhaul<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe new Kindergarten curriculum will emphasize <\/span>early reading, writing, and math through play-based learning<\/b>. It will also incorporate new <\/span>elements of science and technology<\/b>, <\/span>coding<\/b>, and <\/span>financial literacy<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew History Content<\/b>\r\n\r\nIn Grade 10, <\/span>students will study topics including Black Canadians<\/b>, the Holocaust, antisemitism, the Holodomor famine, and extreme political and social ideologies as part of an updated history curriculum.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew School Board Offices<\/b>\r\n\r\nParents and guardians will have access to <\/span>new Student and Family Support Offices<\/b> at each school board across the province. These offices aim to give families a \"clear place\" to seek help with serious or complex issues that may not be resolved at the school level.<\/span>\r\n\r\nTeachers Will Receive $750 for School Supplies<\/b>\r\n\r\nStarting September 1, about <\/span>80,000 elementary homeroom teachers will receive $750 to buy classroom supplies<\/b>, easing some of the out-of-pocket expenses they have previously faced. The Ontario government has designated Staples as the vendor for this Classroom Supplies Fund. However, Opposition and Ontario NDP Leader <\/span>Marit Stiles has called for a Canadian retailer to replace the American-owned Staples<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew Digital Learning Platform<\/b>\r\n\r\nTeachers from Grades 1 to 12 will gain access to the <\/span>Edwin digital learning platform from Nelson Education this fall<\/b>. The province has invested <\/span>$60 million in this program<\/b>, which offers <\/span>ready-made lesson plans<\/b>, interactive tools, activities, videos, and presentations for teachers to use.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew Schools as Part of Ontario's $30 Billion 10-Year Plan<\/b>\r\n\r\nOver <\/span>$1 billion <\/b>has been allocated for <\/span>35 projects<\/b> that will soon open, creating more than <\/span>18,000 new student spaces<\/b> and <\/span>1,100 licensed childcare spaces<\/b>.<\/span>","post_title":"GTA School Roundup: What's Different This Year?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gta-school-roundup-whats-different-this-year","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-11 23:34:02","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-11 23:34:02","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71419","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"post_count":10,"current_post":-1,"before_loop":true,"in_the_loop":false,"post":{"ID":71439,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2026-09-14 08:19:26","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-14 08:19:26","post_content":"
