for a ground invasion of gaza's southern areas, including the city of rafa, palestinian officials are looking for ways to try to prevent that assault. we are looking ways how to prevent that attack on rafah that is becomes very imminent. netanyahu is, you know, determined that he wants to continue the war for his. personal career, for his personal future, and it's very clear that you know he doesn't care about you know the destiny, the lives of innocent people both in of israel and and palestine, the israeli hostages and the palestinian innocent people, in gaza, and this is really something that we should deplore and something that we should really stand against and to make sure that you know it is our collective responsibility to prevent, further escalation of the
12:34 am
of of situation, further prolongation of the war or further extension of the war. according to the united nations, raffa's cram with almost half the gaza population, the situation is a dire and make constant bombings and shellings. un and other humanitarian agencies have warned of an impending catastrophe as is really blockade and attacks of severely limited access to food, water, fuel, electricity and medicine. our ghaza correspondent with the abu musaba joined us earlier with an update. it's actually another horrific massacre unfolded moments ago after the israeli war planes destroyed arrizental building in the anurat refugee camp, claiming the lives of at least 14 palestinian civilians, mostly women and children. it's worth mentioning that it's the fourth
12:35 am
consecutive house to be hit by the israeli uh war planes in anosarat refugee camp, this is a continuation of the ongoing israeli brutality targeting the palestinian civilians. in all areas of gaza strip and particularly in the central area of gaza strip here as we are speaking right now. it's worth mentioning that those crimes uh committed in the central area of gaza strip were extended to reach gaza city. as over the last uh over the last 48 hours the israeli world draws uh targeted at least six palestina civilian cars uh claiming the lives of at least 12. palestinian civilians, the latest one targeted a palestinian family in their car, in a sheikh ridwan neighborhood claiming the lives of a man, his wife, his children, four palestina civilians were killed as well, over the last hour as well the israeli incubation drones also uh
12:36 am
attacked a group of the palestinia civilians in gaza city killing at least six palestinian civilians and thoses thoses were injured. who complains israel's blocking aid delivery to palestinians has negatively affected organizations missions in gaza. since november, only for who, 40% of our missions to the north, for example, have been facilitated, only 40%. since january, that figure is much lower, much lower. uh, so... these missions have been denied, impeded or postponed, and and approximately 45% of the mission requests for the south are facilitators, that's absurd, even even when there's no cease fire, humanitarian corridor should exist so that's who, the un and parts
12:37 am
can do their job, we need an complete pragmatic and different deconflection. system to be able to actually do our work, un, who, is ready to carry out many more missions, both to the north, to the middle area and to the south, what we can all do now. people corn added the israel's denies several requests to distribute medical aid to gaza, which has limited the who's ability to provide aid for gazans in need. he said the health system is completely overburdened and undercapacitated. peopcorn also warned about looming israely invasion of rafa saying such incident will result in unfathomable catastrophe. and military activities in this
12:38 am
area, this densely populated areas would be of course an unfatominal catastrophe and an enormous even further expands the humanitarian dis disaster beyond imaginations, the new wave of displacements and and would also really give increase in of course in additional injuries due to the military offensive and trauma, representative said any invasion of rafa would push gaza's health system. closer to the brink of collapse, more than million displaced palestinians are currently crammed in tarafa at the southern tip of the gaza strip. most them are living in tent camps and makeshift shelters after fleeing israely bombardment to elsewhere in the bessieg enclave. rafa was
12:39 am
once safe haven for palestinians fleeing northern gaza strip in the earliest. stages the israeli oneslot, that's when the regime forced the palestinians to evacuate their homes ahead of heavy bombardments. this is the status co in raffa now. the whole city has turned into a large overcrowded refugee camp. aerial images show how the population raffa more than quadrupled in matter of few months. most residents are living in temporary structures such as tents and eight organizations of worn. of a dire humanitarian situation, food and water are scarce and the city's overburdened health infrastructure is on the brink. life in rafa has grown unbearable for people who have been traumatized by the loss of their loved ones, destruction of their homes, repeated
12:40 am
displacements and the uncertainty of their life in what has become the world's largest refugee camp, but could it get any worse? this area was supposed to be a... zone, but there is no safety across the entire gaza strip, they said is safe, so we came here, what else could have brought us here, and now they are bombarding, where could we possibly go just in? for instance, around 100 palestinians were killed in israeli air strikes in rafa on february 12th. the city is located in the southernmost part of the gaza strip. it's trapped between egypt in the south, the mediterranean sea in the west, israeli occupied territories in the east and israeli troops in the north. egypt has blocked the border crossing as it doesn't want refugees from gaza. all this emit israel's push for a ground invasion. into raffa under the pretext of arresting hamas leaders. prime minister benjamin netanyahu
12:41 am
has ordered these really army to evacuate civilians from the city, but where should the palestinians war struck between the devil and the deep blue sea go to? you say they should get out of the way, but you have also admitted in this interview, there is nowhere safe for them to go, because there is nowhere where you can say there will not be air strikes, so and the international community must insist that civilians can be vacated. away from areas where hamas is trying to use them as human shields areas where we have already destroyed areas where we have already destroyed as calls grow for israel to hold back his planan assault on rafa criticism at tel aviv staunches supporter the us has been mounting international human rights organizations have warned that any further escalation raffa would have unfathumable ramifications so far there's been no signal of an end to the onslott latest round of truth talks underway in egypt have also been
12:42 am
inconclusive. the united nations has warned that an israeli ground invasion of raffa, which it says is crammed with almost half of the gaza population could lead to slaughter as millions have taken shelter there, yet news headlines indicate that there is no silver lining for palestinian. especially for those in raffa, the latest round of truth talks among the united states, egypt, israel and qatar in cairo have not born fruit yet, the looming threat of israel's ground invasion of rafa has even spark criticism from televive's european allies, and uh it really we think is impossible to to see how you can can fight a war amongst these people, there's nowhere for them to go, they can't go south into egypt, they can't go... north and back to their homes because many have been destroyed, so we are very concerned about the situation and we want israel to stop and
12:43 am
think very seriously before it takes any further action. however, the european allies of israel have not a stopped there and even blamed the main supporter of tel aviv for the unfolding crisis in gaza. how many times have you heard the most prominent leaders in fraign ministers around the world saying too many people are being killed? president biden had this is too much on the top, it's not proportional. well, if you believe that too many people are being kill, maybe you should provide less arms. this is not the first time washington has been censured for its involvement in the killing of innocent palestinians. the us is key military backer of israel and has repeatedly vetoed security council resolutions calling for a cease fire in gaza. on tuesday, senate passed another. 48 package that includes $14.1 billion dollars for israel's genocidal onslot on the
12:44 am
gaza strip. this comment by president joe biden during a joint press conference at the white house with jordan's king abdullah has a spark new controversies regarding the us complicity in the gaz on slot. the king and i also discuss the situation in rafa, as i said yesterday, our military operation in rafa, the the major military operation raffa. while this was later described as slip of tongue, recent protests in front of the white house clearly show if this is an israeli on slot or a us israel in gaza? and these war criminals, this biden genocidal administration will not have second, second of peace.
12:45 am
after the occupation of palestinian lands and creation of the israeli regime, both sides came to realize the power of cinema in getting their messages across. regime used cinema to show the territory it had occupied as heaven on earth in order to entice jews from all over the world to migrate to the occupied territories. on the other hand, although belatedly, palestinians also learned to use the power of media and cinema to make their voice heard across the world. it was new battlefield for both sides. and welcome
12:46 am
back here everyone you're watching press tv world news true talk truth talks that is and carrer have not achieved any breakthroughs this calls continue for israel to avoid a full-fledged attack on the southern ghazan city of rafa. we discussed this with our guests earlier in our news review program. it's time now for the news review of this bulleton. in the egyptian capital cairo, negotiations are underway to bring more than four months of the us israel genocide in gaza to a halt. the palestinian resistance mud hamas says it has sent a delegation to kairaf to meet with the egyptian and qatari mediators. the turkish president has also arrived in kairo for talks with president abdul. the heads of israel's spy agencies musad and shinbet, sat down with us, egyptian
12:47 am
and qatari representatives on tuesday to secure a cease fire deal. no significant breakthrough has been achieved. the negotiations that are said to take another three days. israely media has revealed that prime minister benjamin netanyahu is opposed to proposal put forward by spy chiefs a deal. hamas has accused netanyahu of trying to buy time to pursue his own agenda while proposing a seizfire. hamas wants a full halt to israely strikes, troop withdraw and prisoners swap among other conditions. jim kas a political analyst and blogger joining us from new york. we also have. was a journalist and commentator joining us from beirot. sandad, there was this first proposal just a couple weeks back, i believe, a three-stage one of which hamas had given an initial green light so to speak, but there were some terms that it revised and then sent was sent to israel of which the prime minister netanyahu rejected. now we don't know about what has
12:48 am
happened in the past 48 hours in terms of what was on the table, but there must have been some kind of... reason for this to want to be continued, what do you think about the whole thing anyways when you have such divergent views? for example, hamas has said we want all the regime forces out of the gaza strip, that's just one of them. okay, first of all, we have also to mention that the the aggression is led currently against the people of gaza is led and launched by by the us. and the decision of the war and stopping the war or continuing the war is is the decision is the decision of the american administration, so as we are reaching the point of the presidential elections in the united states, the united states, especially biden is trying to pressure netanyahu and the
12:49 am
zionist regime into stopping this... uh genocide uh in order because we know that the uh this is attempt to burnish the the bloody image of the us after uh they have committed they have killed more than uh roughly 28,000 palestinian civilians in the gaza strip and after the clear failure of the zionist appertite. regime to to achieve any of its aims or goals of this aggression, they have failed to free any of theirs of their, they have failed to free their their prisoners from the from the palestinian resistance, and they have failed to weaken the the the the palestinian resistance, we have seen how the
12:50 am
people of gaza stand side by side with their resistance and have... rejected the uh the the american and design decision to uh to replace them and to expel them to sai. you now we're looking at these talks uh, it's i'm going to call it round two, because round one netanyahu came and flatout rejected it uh, he's still rejecting it uh, but we're not sure what he's rejecting this time around, exactly, because uh when there are such differences in the core issues, um, we could... we can name number of them, it's still wonder why it is that they're even having these talks in the first place, what's your view on this? what you, i think, i think this is being done. for the benefit of the arab states, for the benefit of the american public and the european public, and and they have to pretend their something is possible
12:51 am
here that side steps all, as you say, all the fundamental issues that are there, but israel is saying very clearly, we're going for complete victory in in in gaza, they're not going to get complete victory, look, everybody knows and everybody should know, and not be fooled, this is not about the the struggle between the fight between... hamas and israel, whether israel's after batalians of hamas fighters in in raffa, they are after killing and expelling as many palestinians as they want. okay, the fight with hamas and that's all going on, that's important, but it doesn't determine what whether or not the palestinian where the palestinians are going to be in gaza, are going to be in six months or three months or year, and israel wants to invade gaza in order to to force the palestinians to flee, to force egypt to open its border, to force other countries to take them, they are sitting there saying... "watch us, we're killing everybody in gaza until you let them go, until you take them away, we're not going to stop, so you, and hamas is saying, we want israel to get out of gaza, to
12:52 am
israeli army not to control gaza anymore, and israel is saying, that's not going to happen, we are going to continue as we have, have vedo power over everything that happens in gaza, and the americans are completely behind israel, and this will not stop until some military force challenges israel, says, egypt can open his border, say bringing humanitarian." inad in and we're not allowing you to stop us, want to have an armed conflict, we'll have an armed conflict, somebody else can do that, but until that happens, israel is going to continue killing gazons until they trying to create a situation, the world is forced to take them out. welcome back everyone, you're watching press tv, world news, israely war plans have struck several villages in southern lebanon killing four civilians and injuring nine others, mother and her two children among civilian casualties, israely shellings also targeted other areas in southern lebanon. earlier in the day a barager rockets fired from lebanon targeted an israeli command
12:53 am
center in northern occupied palestinian territories as well. rockets also targeted a military base, killing one israel soldier and injuring eight others. has well achieve sayid hasan nasaralah vowed on tuesday that the resistance movests attacks will end only when israel halts its war on gaza. hez. has been exchanging far with israel since the beginning of the regime's genocidal campaign on gaza. amit our correspondent out of lebanon joined us earlier and she said israely reports of targeting hisbullah members are fake and that only civilians were killed in wednesday's attacks. the israelis of course have been the main side that have violated that those rules of engagement by. launching a series of assassinations and areas that are further away, starting with uh the heart of beirot in the southern suburbs when they killed uh and then later on other assassination attempts near syden and other
12:54 am
areas as well, we also had several instances when they launch to talks in against certain areas where they said targets in towns like and so on and so therefore they did go beyond that scope. hisbullah, if they were the ones of course who launched those attacks in safad in the morning, are sending a clear message uh to the israelis basically that you have gone further away from what we had originally started with, limiting the scope of the battlefield, and this is why hazballah went to target those areas perhabs in safad, we're talking about the miron airbase, we're talking about a main command, the... command the northern region for the israeli army and also another military barracks or military post for the israelis in the city of safad which basically extends for several

12:56 am
in their sport. events petition sites israel's ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of palestinians across their ancestral lands. it's also drawn parallels to previous instances where russia and south africa were banned from international sports. last week, iran also urged fifa to exclude israeli sports teams from its upcoming sporting events. and that's it for your latest here on press tv everyone. thanks for tuning in and goodbye for now.
