press tv. stay tuned. the figures showed that. israel has been exploiting the global attention on the genocide in gaza to ramp up demolition of palestinian homes in the occupied all goods. during the first nine months of last year israel destroyed 97 palestinan homes on the east side of the city, but since launching its steadly onslaught in gaza early october, israel has build those 87 homes. now those figures are according to ram, local nonprofit organization monitoring home demolitions in algos. activist that israel is trying to drive more palestinians out of easel goods. the regime is trying to justify its much criticized practice by claiming that the houses have been built without permits. however, it's practically made it impossible for palestinians to obtain those documents through legal discrimination. now let me
6:37 am
invite two guests to this edition. mona candilar correspondent joining me from ramala. also with me is minsia, palestinian scientists and author in bethlehem, good to see you both. let's begin with you, tell us about these home demolitions that we just talk about it, and this has been going on the past four or five months since the onslot on gaza started. unfortunately the israeli regime and the israeli let's say authorities in al-quds. "they refused to give palestinian seperments in order to allow them construct their homes or even expand their homes inside al-quds, and it's very clear, they want the palestinians out of the city of al quds at the same time, the israeli jewish settlers
6:38 am
are given a green light to build a new settlements, to expand the units and units inside al-quds, so while the palestinians..." are not given israeli issued permits to construct their homes, to expand their their flats and their homes, the israels are given more permets in order to build the new illegal settlements on the palestinian lands in, as you have mentioned the israels since the uh in the first nine months of 2023, 97 palestinian homes were destroyed in al-quds, however since the 7th of... october, 87 homes were destroyed by the israels inside al-quds several days ago in san, there's this palestinian activist and he is the spokesperson of san, his home himself was destroyed by the israelis, he was surprised
6:39 am
by the israelis trying to destroy his home, and the excuse is always ready that the palestinians homes are being destroyed because the lack of israeli issued payments. thanks for that. nowzin com tell us about the what the israel regime has its minds and the plan, you know, it's engaged in this genocidal war in gaza, at the same time it has the abductions and rates against the uh west bank, and simultaneously again we're now speaking about uh home demolitions that's still going on. yes, indeed. 2023 what we saw is more than doubling the number of houses demolished 2022 and that coincided with the bring in the israeli right-wing government,
6:40 am
fascist government that decided to increase ethnic, nearly quarter of the homes that were demolished were actually homes built ' with foreign aid and local aid to replace homes that were demolished earlier, so second turn demolition here in the... for example, alja they had homes demolished just in the past few days and this continues, it's it's a longstanding policy, but it has increased in 2023 compared to 2022 and has increased even further after october 7, in the last four and a half months, there were more homes demolished than than 2022 put together. all right, thank you so much, mondle, our correspondent in ramala and mazen komsia, palestinian scientist and author in
6:41 am
bethlehem, and thank you for watching this episode of the news review on press tv. this is in this week's show we'll be shining light on the influence of an ultrasign sect known as khabad and the uh intelligence agency shinbet has said that the vast majority of these people involved in these attacks are uh linked to um this extremist faction based in the yitsar uh settlement in particular there's actually a khabad linked yashiva jewish seminary in that settlement in the case of palestinians the the key question is will they grow up to challenge us in the future of course something which you can't tell about it baby but nevertheless they can tell and they can tell that any palestinian baby is a threat to them in the future and they can be engaged regardless of whether you're trying to kill their parents or not, you can just kill the babies by themselves,
6:42 am
and this is the depth of the horror of of the the philosophy and the ideas of this sect. welcome back, the usa talks in the french capital paris reached an understanding on the outlines of the truth deal in gaza between israel the palestinian resistance movement hamas. white house national security advisor jake sullivan stressed that the details of the agreement, including a prison exchange are still under discussion. the representatives of israel, the us, egypt and qatar launched a fresh round of cease fire talks in paris on friday. the negotiations have resumed in the qatari capital doha between the four countries as well as hamas representatives. israel is under pressure from the international community. including his allies to stop his genocidal war in gaza. hamas has been demanding a complete and
6:43 am
permanent ceasefire as well as the full withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza, terms which israel has rejected. and thousands of pro-palestinian demonstrators or pro- palestine demonstrators have taken the destreets of the spanish city of barcelona to demand immediate cease fire in the gaza strip and call on the government. today is the second day that protests have been held in more than 100 cities across the country to call for measures to stop complicity in the genocide that has been committed against palestinian people. we demand an end to arm sales to israel. we fully support all those doing. this demonstration and we should stop all institutional and economic relations with israel while the regime is being investigated
6:44 am
by the international court of justice for genocide, we should stop having an arms trade with israel. the protesters were chanting anti-israel slogans while waving palestinian flags. similar demonstrations were also held in other cities, including the capital madrid in solidarity with palestinians earlier the german city of nuremberg was the scene of... palestine valleys as well. the protesters there also demanded immediate cease fire in gaza and an end to arm supply to israel. anti-israel demonstrations were also held in austria. on sunday, rotterdam, the second largest city in the netherlands, hosted a demonstration in support of the palestinians dubbed hands off rafa, which saw the participation. of thousands of people also from nearby towns and villages. the organizers of the initiative, the rotterdam
6:45 am
palestine coalition, said the demonstration had been called to draw attention to new grave humanitarian crisis which could soon unfold in raffa, well 1.5 million displaced palestinians are sheltering if israel will attack their. western countries are not doing anything to stop israel, activists argued. it's because they don't see how they did fall. the trap of the israeli by dehumanizing the palestinian, so now they are not treating the palestinian as a human, and that's dehumanization process, which israel did do, most people in the world that... see this entity, this occupation, israel its reality that it's an occupation, it's an apart system and that the bale are human indigenous people who are fighting to get their land back. rotterdam has been one of the most active dutch cities in organizing initiatives against israel's genocide in gaza over the past months. the netherlands has so far
6:46 am
provided unconditional support to the israeli regime. not only did the dutch government abstain. during a united nations vote a humanitarian sess fire in gaza, but it is also supplying parts for the f-35 jet fighters with which israel has been bombing palestinian civilians. i feel like the dutch government has long always supported uh fascism in the whole world uh imperialism, we have a long history of imperialism and we also have a long history of supporting israel uh for the same reasons i think that germany has them, lot of people. older generations, they are imprinted with this idea that we should be behind israel, and uh, we are slowly changing it. the netherlands is playing an important role regarding the israeli occupation and crimes against palestinians, because it is home to the international court of justice, the court based in the hague has been asked by the united nations to deliver an advisory opinion
6:47 am
on the legal consequences of the more than five decade long israel's occupation of palestinian territories. hearing sessions are scheduled to end on monday. max chivili, press tv, rotterdam. american and british fighter jets have carried out fresh strikes across yemen in their fourth joint operation against the arab country. the air strikes hit the provinces of santa, taiz and hajja. several locations including pesticide factory and a telecom. comunications networks were targeted. this comes as the yemani army has targeted an american oil tanker and several warships with missiles in the red sea and the gulf of aden. the yemani army says such operations will continue in response to attacks by the us and the uk and in solidarity with palestinians in gaza. meanwhile, ivan has denounced the latest strikes on yemen, saying washington and
6:48 am
london are seeking escalate tensions and crises in the region. yemenis are adomant in their support for palestine despite the us air strikes on their country. they say yemen is fighting for gaza and will not be affected by hostile acts by israel's western allies. the strikes will not affect us. we are now fighting for gaza. we will not be deterred by the strikes of the israelis and the americans no matter what. we are used to war. we have been in war for nine years. the war will not harm us. it is either we achieve victory. for palestine, or we will walk on food to palestine to free it from the israelis. your strikes will not intimidate or scare us. we will keep on supporting gaza with all the power that we have. we will not be scared of the air strikes that hit us and we will not be frustrated. they've been striking us for nine years and we will not be scared. god willing we will get victory for gaza and

palestine. yuvona successfully completed repairing the nationwide gas pipelines which were damaged by sabotage attacks recently. the lines are now fully operational. our correspondent gisubi shah ahmadi visited the site during the repair operations and filed this report. repair operations in the final stages. this is the main distribution pipeline passing through iran's southwestern province of charmahaland bachtiari responsible for delivering natural gas to the. northern provinces of iran, part of the main pipeline hit by two explosions on february 14th. this is the exact location where the first explosion took place, the result of a failed sabotage attack aimed at disrupting gas supplies to the entire province. clearly, the sabateurs had picked this remote location hoping that it would
6:50 am
result in delayed emergency response leading to vast natural gas outages in the country. an obvious. calculation as the national iranian gas company (nigc) had its local technicians and first responders on site in less than 10 minutes. the tall flames resulting from the overnight explosion could be seen from miles away. the explosion was immense, creating a huge fire that burned and melted everything its way, 300 away. power cables were damaged. the... local electricity distribution company immediately diverted to other connected paths to prevent power outages and within minutes local nigc technicians arrived in as a result of great teamwork, we were able to contain the fire in less than five hours and we completed our repair operation within 44 hours, which can
6:51 am
be considered a record. it is important to note that our local technicians were able to quickly bring the situation under control without any help from nearby provinces. that is why there were no disruptions in gas supplies. as a result of the nigc's agile response, the sabotage attack. did not lead to any natural gas outages, so this is the pipe that was damaged by the explosion, pipe that would carry 70 million cubic meters of natural gas in 24 hours. the nigc had two separate alternative options, so as a first step, technicians simply cut gas flow through this pipe, which allowed the first responders to contain the fire in less than 5 hours. throughout the year we carry out several simulation exercises with different scenarios to enhance our response plans and procedures for all kinds of hazards. that is why our
6:52 am
team is always prepared for emergencies and in this case they knew exactly what to do according to our crisis management plan. with the damaged pipe replaced with new one, everything is back to normal. this heavily damaged 42-inch pipe that you see right behind me as part. the main pipeline that takes natural gas from the south of iran towards the north. however, the nigc did have a plan be, and therefore the explosion did not disrupt gas supplies. officials detailed that because the fire sparked in an unpopulated area, the spread of the flames was manageable for the responding firefighters. there were no casualties, and only limited material damage, and since the flow of heat and cooking gas to the northern provinces,... was not disrupted, as far as consumers were concerned, basically nothing happened, simply foiled attempt with iranians now more confident than ever in the
6:53 am
capabilities of nigc technicians. gisumi shah ahmadi, press tv, boruchen. those were the top stories on press tv. thank you for being with us, take care and bye-bye.
