10:32 am
hello and welcome everybody, watching press tv's world news, coming at you live from our headquarters here in the iranian capital, tehran. our top story for this half hour israel's genocidal war in the gaza is now in its 160th day with the regime pounding the blockaded territory with more air strikes and artillery fire. israel's latest strike hit an honoral aid distribution center in the... southern city of rafa, leaving five palestinians dead, israeli forces also open fire a group of palestinians waiting for aid in northern ghaza, killing at least six people and injuring over 80 others. a regime airraid targeting a house and jabal the refugee camp killed at least one civilian leaving several others injured. in rafa, two civilians were killed and some others injured after israeli forces bombed their vehicle. gaza health ministry says nearly 31,300 palestinians, mostly women in. children have
10:33 am
so far been killed in the israeli genocide since early last october, over 73,00 others have been injured. well, the u.s. israely campaign of killing and destruction against gaza continues, adding misery to palestinians even during the holy month of ramadan. people in aid starved gaza are forced to break their fasts in the rubbles of their bombed out homes. last ramadan was great, but this year it isn't, lot of things are not there anymore, my sisters, my family or house got destroyed, there are still people under the rubber and you're still not pulled out, this house was the children's dream, their toys and everything is lost, there is nothing that we can offer to the children, no food or meat or anything that they need, we only eat soup and can't food, a can of beans, we are tired of can't food and we get sick because my son
10:34 am
keeps telling me that his stomach is hurting him because of can food, we have canned meat that even cats cannot eat, there is no place that i can go to, there is no shelter, no school, there are many diseases that are spreading in schools and i was worried about my children so i said we come back here to the house where i used to live and where i had a dream and where my children also had a dream but it became a rubble. last ramadan i had all my neighbors and loved ones over, we used to sit and spend nights together, but this year there are no neighbors or loved ones, they're not here anymore, it's only me and the children left sitting here, and we don't know what will happen to us. the us's decision to build a temporary port off gaza's mediterranean coast is a misleading measure aimed at buying time for. from the
10:35 am
blockaded territory hindi added that those who want to send aid to gaza should open the territory's crossings instead of proposing to establish a port. he stressed that the us administration has been a partner in the israeli genocide in gaza from day one by providing the regime with weapons without congress's permission. hindi stress that apparent disagreements between the us and israel are not genuine and are only related to their tactics. he said israel seeks to separate the north of gaza from. its south with american cover and reduce its area by creating a buffer zone, and the vessel loaded with food aid is gradually heading towards gaza, it growing calls to deal with dire
10:36 am
humanitarian conditions in the beseeged palestinian strip, the vessel sent by a spanish ngo is towing a barge of 200... tons of food aid, it set sale from a port in cyprus on tuesday, meanwhile cypriot foreign minister said second chip with the bigger capacities being prepared in the larna cup port. israel's bombardment and ground offensive is reduced much of gaza's infrastructure to rubble. the onslot continues unabated on wednesday, the main un aid agency in gaza said and israeli strike hit one of its warehouses and the southern city of rafa killing at least one staff member. the dire food shortages causing malnutrition and dehydration in gaza have already claimed 27 lives, most of them children, international aid agencies say the current aid entry cannot address the dire humanitarian situation in gaza. well for more
10:37 am
on that, we're now joined by uh khalid baracott who is a journalist and activist joining us from vancouver, mr. baracott, welcome to the program uh, first of all i want to get your thoughts on this uh uh aid vessel that uh has set sale from cyprus uh to uh towards the gaza strip uh of course uh there there is a precedent in the past for the israelis intercepting and impeeding these um aid vessels and aid cargo from reaching uh the besieg palestinians in gaza. give us your take on what's going to happen. well the problem with these initiatives is that it it comes as a replacement of ending the siege and opening the uh crossings, which is what the palestinians want, they want to see rafah
10:38 am
crossing, kerm abu salim and other crossing open, there are thousands and thousands of trucks full of aid and waiting to enter, but israel is refusing. to do that, and at the same time the europeans, the americans and some of even ngos are complicit in this, they want to show that we can starve you to death, and at the same time, they you know, they want to keep palestinians, you know, in need of it, and today, for example, the united nation have met with palestinian heads of tribe. in gazza and they have listened to a unanimous united palestinian positions that people in ghazza support the resistance, any air that comes to ghazza has to be in coordination with the palestinian resistance and on the ground, i mean if the resistance
10:39 am
doesn't want any of these vessels to uh enter ghazza, they are able to do so, but the resistance has been very careful in term of looking at these initiatives. they are being also very realistic because they understand that people are have breached in in in reality a starvation, mean people are dying of starvation, and this is because of us position, united states is responsible for starving the palestinian people and mr. baracot, let's also focus on the issue of this humanitarian aid port that is to be built by uh the united states, lot of skepticism has been directed towards that, why does gaza in the first place not even have a port, we know it doesn't have a port, it doesn't have an airport which was also destroyed by the israelis uh a long time ago
10:40 am
uh and uh there are better ways to get aid into gaza uh like opening uh the already existing border crossings, how do you read into this initiative by the united? states at this point in time, mean this is not new, the in fact palestinians in gazza, you know 10 years ago they have. that they need a court in gazza, the one that israel destroyed, and the united states, israel and egypt have blocked any initiative to build a port in ghazza, the united states have led all efforts to actually in the siege on ghazza, they have this latest us initiative used to be a british one right at the beginning of the aggression on ghazza after october. sev the, but it the british proposal did not get any response also because the united states
10:41 am
wants to look like as if they're leading any these efforts. what happened in reality is that the united states is go you know supporting the zionist regime in committing its genocidal war against the palestinian people and the palestinian people across the board if not 100% per of palestinians 99% of palestinians believe that this is a us war against the palestinian people and they are supporting israel to the teeth, they are providing political support for israel, economic military support. f16 and f35 us made weapons that is destroying ghazza and killing the people of ghazza for the past five months and for the past 75 years actually western you know power. have been killing the palestinian people and arming the zinest region to the teef. now this also, the
10:42 am
united states once this because they feel a very heavy pressure internally. people in the united states have changed their position about palestine, they feel that they have been deceived by the their government for decades, that israel is this little poor country that is surrounded by all these aggressors and now the people in the united states, in canada, in the west, they understand that any us initiative is just because they want to wash their hands from you know the the blood of the palestinian people, these are war criminals, i mean anthony blincon is racist pathological liar who no one believes in the region, you know, when he comes and speak about you, supporting the palestinian people through this so-called temporary, you know, here is is just a joke, no one takes it seriously, and this is not just the war against the palestinian people,
10:43 am
this is the holy month of ramadan, the united states is waiting over against two billion muslims, when they don't understand what you know the the implications of this when people in ramadan across the muslim world are watching their brothers and sisters being slaughtered by the day over 100'. inians everyday get killed by us weapons and you know every time anthony blinken comes to the region he is you know challenging even you know the basic values of the humanity and of the people of the region talking about how israel have the right to defend itself no colonizer have the right to defend itself and october 7th is not it's going to look like a very small operation. where to what's coming in the coming decades, israel have um signed
10:44 am
its death through this genocide war crime, and the united states is going to be actually pushed away, pushed back, and the united states present in the region is going to diminish, because the people of the region understand that this war against the palestinian people have been orchestrated by the american administration. thanks lot, journalist and activist khalid bar joining us from vancouver. that's where the leader of lebanon's hezball resistance movement said israel is incurring significant losses in terms of military personnel in gaza and lebanon, and its army is worn out and tired on all fronts. army and let us just see that they are exhausted, it's not just to say that
10:45 am
there's of course there's hunger in gaza, there's destruction of homes, destructions of buildings, this is just one part, but there's another part as well, the numbers of israeli soldiers killed or wonded is huge number, and there is a unity, that the numbers are much higher than what the israeli army is actually hasan nasolah noted that israel is covering up its military losses and is experiencing severe shortage of soldiers. he said the regime has resorted to recruiting thousands of people even from the ultra-orthodox jewish community. nasola has said the northern front, rather in the northern front, the regime is imposing strict censorship on information about its losses in terms of soldiers, military vehicles and other assets.
10:46 am
the hezbulah leader noted that senior israeli experts and former ministers have admitted to strategic and economic. losses that the regime is suffering. national also commented on the united states support for the regime urging washington to halt the israeli aggression instead of helping it. regarding conflict in gaza, now so is said the regime has lost the war as it has failed to achieve its declared objectives including the eradication of hamas. "the rivers of mesopotamia are going through their most critical times. with the deaths of
10:47 am
the tigres and the euphretes, what will the future hold for the people of iraq and syria?" will the as river end up the way the tigris and the euphretes did? the future for millions of people is tied to the freedom of captive called water. welcome back, when it comes to the israeli prime minister bentonio, he's somewhat the poster boy for israeli politics. his premiership, however, has been heavily criticized a variety of fronts, putting him at odds not only with the israeli population, but even israel's closest allies, like the us, some have even gone as far as saying his policies have put israel at risk, like the us
10:48 am
israel genocidal war. let's see whether these points are true or not. "when it comes to the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyao, he's known these days not for his successes, but rather for his failures. he's failed at many endeavors that he's undertaken, and as a result, perhaps, like other time, israel finds itself facing not only an existential threat uh from the outside, but also from within as well. going into the uh..." us-israely genocidal war on the gaza strip, israel's prime minister beniamin netanyahu was already a week footing. he'd already lost three elections forcing him into a coalition with extreme far right politicians, with extreme ideas, like the judicial reforms, which led to some of the biggest demonstrations israel has ever witnessed, and
10:49 am
actions against palestinians like uh al-agha mosk, descecrations and administrative. detentions, moving to what was described as the worst intelligence failure in israel's history, and quite rightly so, operation alaxsa flot exposed israel's weakness on many fronts. some of those uh intelligence failures included underestimating hamas's capabilities and hamas's intentions, overestimating the effectiveness of israel's security services and disregarding its own intelligence warnings. the us israeli genocidal war waged against palestinians had two goals, yet netanyahu and his regime forces have failed in achieving any of them. for one, the goal of eradicating hamas remains as elusive as ever. the israeli regime has actually lost 350 of its own forces, though that number is believed to be
10:50 am
lot higher. the other failure, the release of the captives out of the 136. remaining ones, 52 were killed as a result of israel's continued bombardments and as matter of fact, on hamas, a recent annual threat assessment compiling us intelligence has warned that israel will be challenged by hamas for many years, it said that israel probably will face lingering armed resistance from hamas for years to come, and the israeli military will struggle to neutralize hamos's underground infrastructure, which... insurgents to high, regain strength and surprise israeli forces, that's of course quoting that report, the push by netanyahu to continue the genocidal war. with the support for the us has eroded israel's international standing in a big way, one way that is evident is uh through the boycott campaign which has seen many
10:51 am
countries and particular muslim countries uh to boycott name brands like coca-cola, starbucks and mcdonald's leading to massive layoffs and loss of income. another more visible move, large scale anti-israel protests, which have happened in almost all... the world a weekly basis in some countries, and even israel's strongest backer, the us president joe biden has said, is a fervant zinanist is realizing how the us slowly becoming collateral damage to netanyahu's belligerant policies. the us president has accused netanyahu of harming israel more than benefiting it due to innocent lives being lost, warning israel's prime minister that invasion of... would be a red line and to go as far as saying this could spell a us pol policy shift against israel. israel's economy is also a downward
10:52 am
spiral due to insistence to continuing the aggression. israel's gdp has suffered negative 20% contraction with accounts so far for the loss of between 51 billion to 100 billion. civilian casualties have hindered efforts for israel's normalization with arab countries, like saudi arabia, in particular, it said that distrust in netanyahu and protests
10:53 am
demanding his resignation will persist well after the aggression is over, which may leave, which may rather may lead him to leaving office, and finally israel's genocidal actions against palestinians in uh this genocidal war led by prime minister. netanyahu couldn't be more on display when it was brought before a court of justice. the international court of justice cited israel's multiple violations like genocide, occupation, settlements, movement restrictions, and illegal detentions. it even went as far as questioning the legality of the israeli regime on occupied palestinian land. now iran, china and russia have kicked off the main phase of the joint maritime exercise in the iranian territorial waters located in the north of the sea of oman. in
10:54 am
the first phase of the drill's different units of islamic republic of iran navy, the islamic revolution guards core navy along with naval forces from russia and china conduct different types of maritime exercises. iran, russia and china have conducted the main phase of a joint naval drill dubbed maritime security belt 2024. after arriving at the northern part of the indian ocean, the vessels of the three countries practiced different operations. the joint drills took place in 17 square kilometers of water in a region that is an internationally crucial hop for energy and trade traffic. the first phase of the naval drills included live firing at designated surface targets in the sea of oman. various vessels and fast attack crafts from the irgc were... also involved in the exercise. the vessels were armed with the state of the art home-grown advanced weapons. the next phase included the photoex exercise and offensive
10:55 am
formations. the helicopters of the islamic republic of iran navy and the irgc monitored the region in all stages of the exercise. iran's navy commander hailed the exercise as successful endeavor to improve maritime cooperation of the contributing countries. the commander... also said that iran expects the drills to expand in the future, this year, as we expected, regarding the types of vessels participating in the exercise, both china and russia have increased the variety as well as tonage of the vessels, so hopefully we expect more countries to join the drills in the future, especially regional states. admiral iron also stated that regional nations have the capacity to confront. and terrorism by enhancing cooperation. the exercises are the latest in joint drills by iran, china and russia. iran
