2:34 am
leader of the palestinian resistance movement hamas says the group is waiting for a response to a cease fire proposal from israel and the us, the regime's main accomplice in the gaza genocide. osama hamdan said the initiative put forward by hamas is a realistic one with clear details. he said it provides for a swap of captives in gaza and palestinian abdis and also the withdrawal of israeli forces from gaza. hamdan said the palestinian movement had during negotiations called for an end to the war. the return of refugees, the dispatch of aid to gaza and the start of the reconstruction of the ship. hamdan touched upon the divisions within the israeli regime on the war and added that tel aviv has achieved none of its declared objectives despite the atrocities committed in gaza. he said damas has told intermediaries that acts of aggression against gaza must stop. well as the us is
2:35 am
really genocidal war grinds on, there has been a new proposal put forward by hamas, raising prospects for sease fire. now hamas has proposed new 40-day troops in. gaza and an exchange for several dozen israeli hostages for palestinian prisoners. for the first stage, this is what is proposed for the exchange. as you can see, the total number of israeli captives would be 42. this includes five female regime forces and 37 others, women, children, the elderly, and the el. it would not include male regime forces. now here is where the ratio is different than the previous proposal. for the five female regime forces, the ratio would be 1 to 30. to 50 palestinian prisoners. for the 37 others, the ratio would be one ordinary israeli captive to 20 to 30 palestinian prisoners. there's a possible snack here, and it comes from the israeli regime. it's opposing the release of palestinian prisoners who have killed israelis, especially israeli regime forces.
2:36 am
something that was part of the hamas demand, and that is something that may be a snag. another hamas condition is the return of all palestinians to northern gaza. including 19-year-old males who were restricted from returning in the previous proposal from the israeli regime. now hamas has required for the israel regime forces to withdraw from cities and populated areas, that includes al-rashed and salahdin streets in order to allow for the return of the displaced palestinians. aid is as important for hamas officials and they have required the 500 trucks to be allowed into the gaza strip daily in the... first stage also. now comes the second stage, the release of the remaining israeli captives. there are 130 captives including 32 presumed dead, subtracting the 42 released before leaves 88, which includes male regime forces, ratio is 1
2:37 am
to 30 to 50. hamas requires at this point for the full withdraw of the remaining israeli regime forces from the gaza strip, one of the major sticking points. hamamas key demands include things like reconstruction, the crossings being reopened and ending the siege all together. us qatar and egypt are the garantours of the agreements. hopes are, if this is executed and there are no violations, it will ultimately end in a permanent ceasefire. the israeli regime has systematically targeted information technology experts, programmers and competed technicians as part of his genocidal war on the gaza strip. according to euromet human rights monitor, the israeli military has killed hundreds of people with intellects and expertise in the blockaded territory, especially those proficient in information technology as well as other elites such as

humanitarian aid to reach gaza. i commend you for your personal. when the layen also voice concern over a full scale offensive. southern gaza city of rafah saying it would have devastated impact or devastating impact on the civilian population. she made the comments in a joint press conference in cairo with egyptian president abdul. who also spoke out against any military action in riffa. he said egypt and eu leaders have rejected any israeli ground operation in rafah that would deteriorate the humanitarian crisis further. he also reiterated egypt's opposition to any attempt by israel to forcibly displace the palestinian people from their homes. meanwile people in different countries across the globe continue to voice solidarity with the palestinian. in gaza in the netherlands capital, hundreds of pro- palestine demonstrators gathered outside the national
2:41 am
holocaust museum for the second time since last week. the demonstration came as delegation from the israel was visiting the national holocaust museum. the protesters held pictures of the children killed in israeli bombings on gaza. they called for immediate end to the ongoing genocidal war in the besieg strip. in another european capital, london, people displayed their support for the palestinians during rally against racism. they called for an end to the israeli occupation of palestine. also, in italy, hundreds of protesters gathered in milan in support of the palestinians. the demonstrators how signs reading. stop the genocide in gaza and stop arming israel, the german city of berlin was also the scene of a
2:42 am
massive rally. we are here to demonstrate uh for palestine, and i think it's not only about palestine here, it's also... about showing our anger towards uh the german media and the german politicians, because they have lot of power and they decided to take a side, and even they use sometimes some wars for human crisis or something like this, i can't believe it, i don't, i have the feeling that it's just empty worse. the protest is demanded immediate cease fire in gaza, they carried blood stained small mock body bags in reference to the large number of... children killed in gaza. in bahrain, which has normalized ties with israel, the protest has
2:43 am
hailed the palestinian resistance fighters and decried the united states for the israeli bloodlating in gaza. also, in chile, in south america, a massive rally was held in the capital san diego, with protesters denouncing israel for the killing of over 16,00 children in gaza. the appointment of new palest. palestinian prime minister and planned formation of new palestinian government have sparked internal disputes and division. a senior palestinian official has told press tv that some factions have called for national consensus and a unified palestinian leadership before the formation of a government. mon candel has more. the appointment of new palestinian a prime minister at the current circumstances could deepen divisions as the israeli war on gaza rages. this is what some palestinian factions revealed after president mahmoud abbas appointed muhammad mustafa, a long trusted
2:44 am
advisor on economic affairs as prime minister and tasked him with forming new government, both hamasan resistance movements, the popular front for the liberation of palestine and the palestinian national initiative said that without national consensus, it's a reinforcement of a policy of exclusion and the deepening of division. we met dr. secretary general of the national initiative, he told us that the most important thing is now a unified leadership. we're not against the new government, we're against the way the government is being formed. we want national consensus government, a government which is acceptable and accepted by all palestinian political groups, through national dialogue between the different groups, and that... that is natural, because and and for us the main goal first before forming a government
2:45 am
is how we structure a unified palestinian national leadership. muhammad mustafa replaces muhammad shayi who resigned less than three weeks ago, citing the need for real change. experts, however, say there had been mounting pressure on abbas to reform the palestinian authority and initiated the establishment of a political framework capable of governing a future palestinian state to. take charge of all palestinian territories after the israeli genocidal war on gaza ends. first of all, that there was a pressure on palestinian authority to make some changes and that's why... they complied immediately and appointing muhammad mustafa to as the new prime minister, this is on the one hand on the other hand, which is most importantly as well, what the palestinian wanted, the palestinian don't want another government to be the same, the problem here is with israel, are they and the international community, are they able to
2:46 am
really make the change and let this government to work or not, the new prime minister now would work to form a technocratic government of experts. abbas has also asked mustafa to create plans to reunite the administration of the west bank and gaza strip, reform the government and address internal corruption. a real political change, not a change in words only, is what the people here desire. moreover, the upcoming government faces numerous challenges, namely rebuilding the gaza strip, turpedoing israeli plans to control the coastal enclave and managing palestinians life. this week on expos a, we touch upon the western narrative the parliamentary elections in the islamic republic of iran as it centered around made up tales about iranians abstaining from roating in protest against the government. in
2:47 am
the meantime, most opinion pieces published by well-known mainstream media rejected the... that iran is democratic country essentially recycling tired stories and narratives with no fresh perspective. also this week we cover social media reacts to the famin brought on by the ongoing zinus israeli genocide in gaza as well as the air drop charade of aid and expired food on gaza residents. right here on expose, the truth is just a revelation away. welcome back, president joe biden and former president donald trump continue to move towards a rematch in november after clinching their party's presidential nominations. both nominees have been exchanging jobs as campaigning, as campaigning intensifies. to discuss that further early we were joined by
2:48 am
our guests in our news review program. let's see what they have to say. you're watching uh press tv world news, time now for the news review, stay tuned. the us president joe biden warning that freedom and democracy is under attack and that after former president donald trump suggested a blood bath in the case of losing the fall election. biden was speaking at the great iron clap dinner which was pack with journalists and politicians. he said trump's lies about a 2020. the plot to overturn it and to imprace the january 6 attack on the capital have posed the greatest threat to america's democracy. president joe biden's campaign also stated that trump wants another january 6th to happen on saturday republican nominee for us president donald trump said if he does not win the fall election america will never have another election. if i get elected now if i don't get
2:49 am
elected. did it's going to be a blood bath for the whole, that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a blood bath for the country, that'll be the least of it. if this election, if this election isn't one, i'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country. does that make sense? i don't think you're going to have another election in this country, if we don't win this election, i don't think you're going to have another election, or certainly not an election that's meaningful, and we better get out of we better, now trump was addressing gathering of gop supporters in ohio, urging the people to... vote forum in the november presidential election. he lashed out of his democratic rival and incombat president biden saying that he is destroyed america's economy. he said americans will not enjoy proper social security, medical and other welfare services with biden in office. campaigning is intensified in recent weeks with trump and biden attacking each other's record and character. okay, now let me...
2:50 am
invite a couple of academics from the us to get their insight on this, so joining me is daniel shaw, he is academic and commentator out of new york and said khan is also associate professor with wayne state university is joining us from detroit. daniel, what do you expect uh would happened on the election day in terms of the results? would that capital hill thing be repeated again or something like it? right now every poll indicates that uh there's no confidence in joe biden uh about 84% of... the populist thinks that he is indeed uh senile. um, lot of people don't necessarily trust trump, they just so disgusted with the democrats, with the corruption. so another slogan that i heard uh from out where said is, i'm in new york city, but having just returned from the midwest, many people are saying, well, throw
2:51 am
away this clown, but don't throw away the burgers, in other words, throw away trump, but trump's base uh, which is indeed backward, extremely anti-immigrant, extremely pro- war in in many cases, um, but they're angry, and they know that they can't trust the... swamp and they can't trust washington dc, so how do we work with uh uh these workers who are uh disgruntled, they've suffered through the opioid epidemic, washington has completely forgotten about them and how much of the industry in cleeveland and in um flint in detroit, chicago has been abandoned how many working-class families are suffering and they'll never vote for the democrats, they have zero faith in the democc. democrat so here comes uh trump with his rhetoric and trump has really been able to manipulate people into thinking that he's somehow on their side, he's a billionaire worth $4 billion dollars who could never relate to the
2:52 am
common man in in in any way, and just to point out that there are other independent candidates, there's dr. connor west, there's claudia de la cruz, there's jill stein, but the system is rigged, it's not a democracy, it's a dictator of the dictatorship of the rich, and they make sure that none of those third party candidates actually viol. okay, so we get one minute, let me know what you uh predict would come out of this election in six months time, almost from now uh, i think it's right now far too uh early to and premature to predict what's going to happen, there's a there's a lot of moving parts here uh, there is some uh notion that uh democrats uh who are currently disgruntled with biden uh who as uh as daniel said uh don't have much faith in him may come back. uh to him uh because they see trump as an existential threat, the gop as an existential threat, whereas biden being and the democrats being more of a strategic threat uh, some of this
2:53 am
is going to play out regarding gaza, i think a lot of it is now going to play out regarding tiktok, if uh if biden signs a bill that then bans tiktok uh he's going to lose an entire generation of people as was said before, and that's game over for the democrats, so right now it's really going to be vote by negative. uh who does somebody want to see less in in office? and again, there's just simply too much time between now and november for things to happen where we're not able to predict that. okay, fair enough. all right, thank you so much for the insight, daniel shaw in new york, sayid khan in detroit. thank you for watching this episode the news review. welcome back, for the third year in a row, afghanistan has been declared the least happy country in the world, that's according to the un world happiness report.
