since the regime's genocide started in the gaza strip early last october. the un says around 400 palestinians including at least 100 children have been killed in the west bank since then. well the leader of the palestinian resistance moven hamas says israel and the us will not achieve through political means what they failed to accomplish through military aggression in gaza. ism huniyas statements came amid talks a potential cease fire between hamas and israel. we've discussed this issue with our guests in our news review program. let's take a listen. welcome everyone to press tv's news review program where we get in-depth in one of the day's top stories. now the political bureau chief of the palestinian resistance movement hamas says israeli regime and the us cannot
7:36 am
achieve through politics what they fail to achieve through war. addressing a conference in the lebanese capital beirot through video conferencing. ismal hany added the tel aviv regime continues committing the most heinous crimes against palestinians, he said residents of gaza are being killed, starved and displaced by israeli forces. hanya also highlighted israeli attacks on hospitals and humanitarian groups. he further lashed out at the united states for its complicity in israel's crimes. however, he underlined the resistance front will continue to stand firm against israel's acts of aggression until all occupied territories are liberated. he further praised pales. for the resistance against israeli occupation, joining us now for the news review program is mattie, press tv correspondent joining us out of bayroot and richard medherst journalist and commentator joining us from vienna, hello and
7:37 am
i like to welcome you both to the program, obviously we're going to start with you , he had lot to say in that speech, but if you could... talk about the event, what took place, what the significance of it was and what was said, not just by mr. hania, but everyone involved that that stood out for you. well, of course there are significant place a daily b gatherings that palestine and in solidarity with the palestinian people, but the biggest of course protest and the biggest uh say is basically for the battlefield it is what's going on with the resistance and how the resistance is basically um working its way. on supporting the palestinian resistance uh from lebanon, we have also seen the palestinian resistance in the al khassam brigades themselves also taking part in more uh more action when it comes to launching of rockets from south lebanon, that also is very significant, but i think that the speech of honey is very
7:38 am
important to be able to read basically what he's trying to say when it comes to this so-called truth uh that they're working towards, although first he he did mention that if hamas does show some flexibility, this means that it is only out of concern for palestine, for its people, for the lives of the civilians in gaza specifically, but he also said that what the israelies are doing is basically they're dragging their feet to the truths, they're um on another planet that they have these issues where they're trying to get concessions from hamas and he warned the us and israel that they are not going to get through that. type of diplomacy, what they couldn't get on the field through the military, and this also brings us back to the speeches of hezballah secretary general, said that it is basically now the battlefield that is basically making the action or it is the one that is drawing the road map uh for the
7:39 am
resistance and what could take place even in these talks, hamas itself has also said that it will not accept the united states as mediator and this is what we're hearing also from many of the figures here in lebanon, they are also talking about the fact that the us is considered as complicit 100% and therefore it cannot be mediator for any sort of peace talks or any sort of truth, and this is why they might be calling for a third party, and we are seeing this grow more and more among the palestinian factions here, even those that are with the plo and with fata itself. thank you, mariam, richard, welcome to the program the bud. now is richard says, his exact. quote uh, the israeli regime and the us cannot achieve through politics what they failed to achieve through this onslaught, well he says through war, and um, i want to see how that resonates with you, i mean cuz obviously is referring to not just slaughtering palestinian women, and children, but but more so the israelis
7:40 am
and washington have really been at the same time slaughtering their own image in the eyes the very few people that still thought they're out in the world trying to do something prudent for mankind. thanks for having me on the program, absolutely, this is a multiimensional war. when we talk about gaza, we have to understand that there is a war of the israel. is that they are prosecuting against uh civilians, but there is another war, a real war between men, and that is between the qassan brigades, between palestinian between islamic shad pij, um the brigades and the israeli occupation, and that and on both fronts the israelies are losing, because when they're bombing civilians and starving civilians, their image, as you just alluded to, has been shredded, it's gone out the window, there is no recovering. from this for the israelit, no recovery whatsoever, and that's even if they had an image to begin
7:41 am
with, and then on the battlefield uh, what did israeli say when when they began this offensive? they said they will wipe out hamas, they will wipe out hamas infrastructure and retrieve the hostages. let's look at this, we're in february now, have they wiped out hamas, not at all, have they wiped out hamas infrastructure, not at all, they could not even retrieve a single hostage through military means, so this shows you not only the failure of the israelis, but the strength of the resistance. the israelis cannot survive 24 hours without being airlifted weapons. hamas on the other hand and the resistance have built up such an excellent arsenal and such vast array of committed driven fighters uh that simply the israelies that americans cannot contend with, and so what uh hania was alluding to is that uh, you guys lost on the battlefield, uh, your image is treaded, so don't think that you're going to come around now and start making them. ons in the uh uh the negotiations, you have no uh standing, you
7:42 am
have moral standing or victories to talk about for you to come in and make demands. all right, thank you both for joining us, stay safe to both of you, that's press tv's matty am, so there joining us from lebanese capital, beirot, and richard metters joining us from vienna, and viewers, this brings us to the conclusion of this segment of your press tv's news review program, thank you for tuning in and goodbye for now. either you're with us, are you with the enemy? there's no in between, and that doctrine still stands. لو وافق صدام على كل قرارات الامم المتحده وعلى كل ما تريده الولايات المتحده لكان قد اطيح به كان المفروض عندما يسقطون النظام يسلمون الدوله. المعارضه هم اسقطوا النظام والدوله معا وسلموا المعارضه صراع على السلطه اول من وجهه

7:51 am
cease all hostile military actions on and around the korean peninsula, and resume the korean peninsula of peace process by withdrawing its hostile policy toward north korea. activists warn military exercises can also generate miscalculations and accidents. isn't military training itself? preparing for war because we are aware of the danger that may occur, we are opposed to military training because such training conducted in our country could lead to a crisis that could even lead to a war if we make a mistake. south korea had at least two missile failures under president new with one rocket crashing near a residential area. much of the south green public appears not to worry about the dprk and the security risk the provocative us-south korea drills involve. but it is there in the back of everyone's minds, this feeling of risk of conflict with the dprk even causes south korean stocks to be
