hello everyone, it's 4 am in the bessieg gaza strip and you're watching press tv world news. the israeli regime, it continues pounding the besieg gaza strip with air strikes and artillery fire more than 130 days into its campaign of genocide, at least five palestinians were killed after israeli war planes targeted residential buildings in alzeitune area. in the north of gaza city, two women and a child were killed by an israeli air strike a vehicle. earlier on wednesday, eight palestinians were killed and nearly two dozen others injured in israeli attacks on alaqa marters hospital and the nusera refugee camp in central gaza. the gaza health ministry says over 103 palestinians have been killed in the last day, pushing overall death total to almost 28,600. a of

looming israeli invasion of gaza's southern city of raffa has triggered global alarms over potential civilian casualties. the international committee of the red cross says the regime's military aggression will pose a disastrous risk to civilian lives and infrastructure. the red cross is a middle east director has called on israel to take necessary measures to protect civilians. frabrisio carboni demanded the fundamental of principles of humanity be upheld in any military operation. he also caution to get force displacement of palestinians and the regimes indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, stressing they're all banned under international humanitarian law. meanwhile, germany's foreign minister has also expressed concern over the planned incursion into raffa, saying it will lead to humanitarian catastrophe. gaza, more than half of gaza's population is currently seeking shelter in rafa (1.3 million). million people are

waiting there in a very small space, they don't really have anywhere else to go right now, many of them have followed really evacuation orders and fled the fighting areas in northern gaza, often with nothing more than their small children in their arms and the last of their clotes on. these people cannot simply vanish into thin air. if the israeli army work to launch an offensive on rafa under these conditions, it would be humanitarian catastrophe in the making. emphasized a need of providing safe places and secure corridors to prevent mass civilian casualties, she also call for more border crossings to be open for the delivery of humanitarian aid and medical supplies to the people of gaza. bearbox stress, the cease fire is urgently needed in the besieg territory. rafa was once safe haven for palestinian. fleeing northern gaza strip in

the earlier stages of 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 in raffa, more than quadropold in matter of few months. most residents are living in temporary structures such as events and eight organizations have warned of a dire humanitarian situation, food and water are scarce and the city's overburdened health infrastructure is on the brink. life in raffa has grown unaurable for people who have been traumatized by the loss of their loved ones, destruction of their homes, repeated 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 safe zone, but there is no safety across the entire gaza strip. they said ref is safe, so we came here, what else could have brought us here, and now they are bomberding ref. where could we possibly go? just in one 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 and 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 and israel's push for a ground invasion into raffa under the pretext of arresting hamas leaders. prime minister benjamin netanyahu 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 airstrives, 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 to areas where we have already destroyed we have already destroyed that's calls grow for israel to hold back its planned assault on rafa criticism of tel aviv staunchous allied the us has been mounting international human rights organizations have warned that any further escalation raffa will have un imaginable ramifications, so far there has been no signal of an end to the onslot and latest round of truth talks underway in egypt, have also proven inconclusive. the united nations has warned that an israeli

ground invasion of rafa, which it says is crammed with almost half of the gaza population could lead to slaughter as millions have taken shelter there, yet new... headlines indicate that there is no silver lining for palestinians, 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 a spark criticism from tel aviv'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 no... nowhere for them to go uh, they can't go south into egypt, they can't go north in back to their homes bause many have been destroyed, so we are very concerned about the situation and we want israel to stop and think very seriously before it takes any further action. however, the european allies of israel have not stopped there and even

blame the main supporter of tel aviv for the unfolding crisis in gaza. how many times have you heard the most prominent leaders and foreign ministers around the world saying to many people are being killed. president biden had this is too much on the top, is not proportional. well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, 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. cease fire in gaza. on tuesday, senate passed another foreign eight package that includes 14.1 billion dollars for israel's genocidal onslot on the 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 gazan slot. the king and i also discuss the situation in raffa, as i said yesterday, our military operation. rafa, they're the the major military operation rafa, 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 slot in gaza, these war criminals, this biden genocidal administration will not have second. second of peace, this week on expos a, mainstream media

highlights the unprecedented scale of destruction and impact of the war on gaza as per reports by the united nations trade body. western broadcast me. media white washes zionist israeli crimes of destruction in gaza as excuse to hunt down what it called hamas terrorists while print and digital media surprisingly argue that unless as the israeli regime changes course, it could be legally culpable for mass starvation in gaza, and social media users express astonishment at how world leaders cannot see how unfair the calamity of the palestinian people is. expose, the truth is just a revelation away. welcome back, you're on, you're watching press tv, world news, a group of pro-

palestine activist as stage protest actions outside two uk based firms over their role in feeling the israeli onslot on gaza. first protest targeted the manchester offices of the bank of new york, melon, which were drenched in red paint to symbolize the bank's complicity in genocide of palestinians by israel, second protest saw activists blockading the bristol headquarters of elbit systems, which is israel's largest weapons firm. they attached themselves to one another to prevent access into the central hub of what activists described as elbit's lethal business. activist condemned the bank of new york melon for investing over 10 million pounds in elbett systems. now elbet provides 85% of israel's military drone fleet, land-based military equipment, missiles, bullets, and other weaponry. events mark the latest in a series of. palestine rallies held the force israel's western allies to stop supplying the regime with weapons amit its

genocidal campaign. spain and ireland meanwile have demanded the european union launch an urgent probe in israel's actions in gaza. they said the eu must ascertain if the regime is complying with this human rights obligations under an accord with the block. another request came in a letter to the eu commission by spanish prime minister. sanchez and his irish counterpart leo veradcar. they ask eu to take appropriate measures if israel is found to be violating its agreement with the block. accord demands israel respect the principles of human rights and democracy as an essential element of the block's trade ties with the regime. the unprecedented move raises the possibility of eu imposing economic sanctions against tel aviv. spain's foreign minister jose manuel alvarez also said no license to. weapons to israel has been approved by his country since october the 7th and none will be as long as the

onslot on gaza continues and meal truth talks in cairo have yet to achieve any breakthroughs as calls continue for israel to avoid a full-fledged attack on the southern gaza city of rapa. we discuss this with our guests earlier in our news review program. here it is. it's time now for the news review of this bulletin. in the egyptian capital, cairo, negotiations are underway to bring more than four months of the us is really genocide in gaza to a halt. the palestinian resistance moved hamas says it has sent a delegation to kaira to meet with the egyptian and qatari mediators. the turkish president has also arrived in cairo for talks with president abdultah assisi. the heads of israel. spy agencies, musad and shinbet, sat down with us, egyptian and qatari representatives on tuesday to secure a

seaspire deal. no significant breakthrough has been achieved in negotiations that are said to take another three days. israely media has revealed the 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 ceasefire. hamas wants a full halt to israely strikes, troop withdrawal and prisoners. among other conditions. is a political analyst and blogger joining us from new york. we also have a journalist and commentator joining us from berut. 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 the sent was sent to israel of... the prime minister netanyahu rejected. now we don't know about what has 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 uh 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 always to mention. that the the aggression is led currently against the kuku of gaza is led and launched by by the us and the decision. the war and stopping the war or continuing the war is is the decision is 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

zionist regime into stopping this genocide in order. because we know that the this is attempt to burnish the the bloody image of the us after they have committed they have killed more than roughly 28000 civilians in the gaza strip and after the clear failure of the zionist apparty 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 palestinian resistance, we have seen how the people of gaza stand

side by side with their resistance and have rejected the the the american... and design decision to uh to replace them and to uh excel them to sai. 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. 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 name, we can name number them, it's still a wonder... why it is that they're even having these talks in the first place? what's your view on this? uh, what you have? i think it's kabuki feder. 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 there something is possible 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 the italians of hamas fighters in in rafa, they are after killing and expelling as many palestinians as they want. okay, the fight with hamas and hez, 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 and hamas is saying we want israel to get out of gaza, to 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 its borders, say bringing humanitarian aid 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 here, you're watching press tv world news. the hezbulat resistance movement has strongly condemned israel's latest strikes on civilians in southern lebanon, saying they will not go unanswered. head of hezbulah's executive council, hasham safi aldin vowed the movement will undoubtedly respond to the regime's incursions at an appropriate level. he added, israel will never achieve the goals that it failed to attain during previous acts of

aggression against lebanon, his comments came after on wednesday, israely war playing struck. several villages in southern lebanon, killing four civilians, including mother and her two children. a later strike on the city of nabatia killed four civilians from the same family, including two women. the regime claims its attack was in response to earlier hezbullah strike that targeted several israeli military sights, killing one soldier and injuring eight others. hezbillah says the strikes on israely sites will continue until the regime stops his campaign of genocide in gaza. yemen has doubled down its stance in supporting innocent people of palestine who are under israel's genocidal attacks. the yemeny minister of information has stressed that yemen's naval operations in the red sea will continue unabated until the gaza genocide ends. press tv's abdullatif alwashali reports. in a press conference in

the yemani capitals shami spokes person for the yemani government and minister of information. once again reiterated yemen stands that the us presence in the red sea and gulf of aden poses a real threat to international maritime navigation by. to rising international waters, ashami stated that washington's presence under the predict of protecting israeli vessels provokes the yemani army to continue its naval operations. america is the source of real threats to navigation in the red sea and the gulf of eden, and the presence of its forces that came from a distance of 9,00 miles to launch an aggression against yemen under false and bolatant justifications. they are to protect the ships of these. israi entity and support it economically and militarily and have nothing to do with securing international navigation. ashemy added that the us and uk

have launched over 400 air strikes against the united territories resulting in the deaths of more than 40 soldiers, he asserted that neither western aggression nor the us designation of a terrorist group will hold yemen's naval operations in support of palestinians. american designation of the anserarolla movement as a terrorist group is ironic. how can a terrorist classify those who defend themselves and their causes as terrorists? this designation shows us no longer has any steps to take to stop yemini operations in support of palestine. this classification will not affect yemen's military operations but may be a provocation for greater escalation. earlier the leader of the ansarullah movement abdul malik al hudhi said that no israeli linked vessel has sailed through. the red sea in the past weeks describing this as major victory, he accused the us and uk of being the real terrorists for assisting the israeli regime in committing war crimes against the innocent

people of the gaza strip. yemen's official is clear the yemini armyful operations will continue until the israeli war against. officials say the united states designation the movement as a terrorist group will not help the us and uk achieve the objectives. they fail to that's right for your latest here on press tv everyone, thanks for joining us and goodbye for now.
