For decades, janin refugee camp in the north the occupied west bank has been seen as the stronghold of resistance against Israeli Aggression. Jin refugee camp continues to offer more martters and insists on the peoples right to arm struggle. When the name the janean refugee camp is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is a stronghold for resistance against the Israeli Occupation, it has long been seen as the center of palestinian resistance, created in the aftermath of the Israel Occupation of palestinian lands in 1948, the ginian refugee camp was established in the early 1950s in the north of the occupied westbank. The camp is less than half square kilometer according to the United Nations. Its home to almost 12,000 residents. Janine refugee camp is a great part in our occupied homeland palestine. Were speaking about fighters and resistors. Were speaking about a great popular incubator. Were speaking about brave young men as if they are coming from another planet. They have their own necessities of steadfastness. They have a great ability to fight this Israeli Occupation. Different components in their life have led to this mination. First, their ancestors were forced out of their towns in 1948, and second the. Still holding to their right of return. In 2002, during the second intif, genion refugee camp was the scene of one of the deadliest large scale rates by the Israeli Military. 60 palestinians were killed and 250 others were wonded, while hundreds of homes were completely destroyed and more than a quarter the camps population were displaced, more than 20 years later. It seems the battle is not over. Last july Israeli Forces raided. Refugee camp, but this time, the heavy clashes and exchange of fire forced Israeli Military to retreat in two days, leaving 12 palestinians killed. The military said then the main aim of the operation was targeting palestinian fighters and capturing ammunition. Palestinians say israel had committed war crimes in the refugee camp an effort to prevent future resistance and bringing down the genena brigades, the newly formed Resistance Group thats comprised of fighters from different camp is not the palestinian groups, but what units us is this refugee camp and family close. We all live here as one big family. We stand together against the Israeli Occupation and against anyone hostile to us. This is how those resistance fighters think, they are young men living in the. They are brave young men insisting on the challenge with simple equipped personal pistols, explosive devices and they caused Israeli Occupation great losses. Israeli military use jones buldoss and hundreds of troops in its Army Operation as regime troopers hunted down fighters who had grown increasingly bold. Israel officials thought the regimes military would succeed in breaking the safe haven of the cap. Resistance was strong in the refugee camp, the camp has so long been a center for the resistance fighters, with the accumulations, all the raids and destruction and killings establish a struggle in the camp, a nonstop struggle, this means a generation lives and new generation comes, they are people who reject humiliation and reject all forms of oppression, know the path has always been thorny and difficult, but thats why the people of jin will always remain the spearhead in the face of the occupation, not only for its residence, but for all the the refuje camp with its warren of elleways and dilapidated buildings adorned with banners bearing the portraits of marters will keep palestinians recalling their pain and their long history of resistance and fighting. Despite the nonstop Israeli Operations in the genean refugee camp, the camp continues to be considered a symbol of Palestinian Armed resistance. Residents of the camp argue that latest killings and destruction have not only f to weaken the palestinians resolve, but also help to increase their resistance and steadfastness.

Territories, naif al sudairi. This is saudi arabias first delegation visiting the west bank in three decades.

This is the first public trip to country by an Israeli Cabinet member, the visit comes amit speculations about the possibility of normalizing ties between tel aviv and riyad. Palestinian political activist muti abu musa is of the opinion that any sort of normalization agreement between arab countries in israel would only embolden the regime to continue its atrocities against palestinians. Any agreement actually gives this recubation a green light to keep committing its crimes against the Palestinian People and to keep entrenching the occupation on the palestinian land. This is on one hand, on the other hand, the the the we as Palestinian People cannot accept by any mean for the palestinian coast to be uh ploiteed and to be used by any arab regime or by any regime over the world in order to achieve. Their political or their strategic accomplishments on the back of the Palestinian People, the cause of the Palestinian People is as a political, humanitarian cause and the Palestinian People needs a real solution that stops the Israeli Aggression that guarantees the Palestinian People uh to live in a freedom and to live freely on their land, the Palestinian People waiting, actually are waiting for. From the arab countries to support the Palestinian People in front of the israel incubation, not signing normalization agreements with the israel incubation, because this actually means that the Palestinian People are are facing the Israeli Occupation alone in the battle and in the struggle for their freedom.

Thousands of demonstrators are calling on the government to reinstate their positions or at least protect their social safety net. Max chavilli reports. Workers from the now defunct flag carrier al italia met in front of the ministry of labor in the italian capital on tuesday as part of action called by the country space union cuub. Unionists have been demanding consecutive governments to reinstate thousands of alitalia workers who have been left in the lurch following years of mismanagement and statebacked rescues. In october 2021, the 74yearold carrier al italia made its final flight marking the end of an era for italy. The airline has been replaced by the new National Carrier, ita. Do not think that under the current crisis. Government would be able to redeploy us externally . It is paradoxical that while im talking the government is hiring workers from outside for the three companies altalia has been sent to. The new National Carrier it is only hired around a quarter of the estimated 10,000 employees. All it workers have been feeling betrayed by italys largest trade unions is a unionist. When he was hired by artia he was just basic part after h have replaced a he became a medium hall captain and soon after a long hall captain. Practically the union he works for has sold al italian our contract off and coincidentally he obtained personal gain for that. The deal which led to the formation of the new Airline Company ita also called for slashing the number of Airline Slots at rome and milan airports. Italys government has recently sold a Minority Stake of the successor of the countrys flagship. Carrier al italia to germanys lufttansa. However, the European Commission has not approved the deal, yet, decision that has left the italian Prime Minister giorgia milloni puzzled. Io presumo che Lunione Europea s im afraid the eu only wants to transfer more italian slots to germanys loftansa, having said that the deal is not valid as there is no discontinuity between the old and new National Airline. An italian judge has ruled the position of brussels on the. Deal nonbinding and us workers should be rehired. Former alitalia workers believe that brussels has been planning for years to slim down the European Airline market to only three major players, british airways, air frans and luftansa. Max chivili, press tv, rome. The democratic peoples republic of korea has warned the Korean Peninsula is at risk of nuclear war blaming us hostility for. For renewed tensions. Kim song, dprks ambassador to the United Nations, told the world body that the us actions over the past year as well as south koreas actions under president yon, have driven the peninsula to the bring of nuclear war. Kim cited the recent formation of the Nuclear Consultative group by the u. S. In south korea. He said, this Shows Washington is working to realize a sinister intent. To provoke a nuclear war by dispatching Nuclear Submarines and bombers. Tensions are running high on the korean pen as puong young regularly conducts missile tests which it says are for selfdefense and a response to frequent joint military drills by soul and washington. The us has often said that it is not after conflict with china yet, it has acted otherwise, especially when it comes to malaria sales. Us is negotiating to supply vietnam with a large arms package, including f16 fighter gets, which could possibly be the largest arms transfer in their history. The u. S. President joe biden went a 3day trip to asia recently. His trip included stops in india for the g20 summit, then vietnam to upgrade their bilateral relationship. The purpose of his trip was to enhance us relationship with regional countries, especially in a g20 format, but that is just a formal way of not saying what the two intentions of the us president were. For starters, joe biden had said that his intentions. To strengthen lies with chinas neighbors were designed to contain beijing, a phrase that he has repeated again and again, he has things like, i dont want to contain china. Were not trying to hurt. China, americas goal is getting the relationship right. Im sincere about getting the relationship right, and one of the things that is going on now is china is beginning to change some of the rules of the game. But his visit to vietnam right after the g20 summit related a different message. The two countries signed a historic agreement to upgrade relations to the level of comprehensive strategic partnership. Joe biden secured deals with vietnam on semiconductors and so important is vietnam for the us that executives from google, intel, amcore, marvel, global foundaries, and boing met with vietnamese tech executives along with the secretary of state, anthony blink for more deals, with semiconductors, the centerpiece of action plan adopted during byans visit. So what gives, why is vietnam so important to the us . Its pretty obvious. The us wants to rival china and at the same time inflict economic damage. So much for biden saying were not trying to hurt china, but the u. S. Has other plans for vietnam, which was not announced yet. The us goal in the indopacific region is to make china face a stiff competition, as it has called it. This involves not only military sales, but also partnering with countries such as sectors of semiconductors, aviation and technology, this way, the us aims to prevent chinas Economic Advancement so that it can retain its superpower status, which many claim it has already lost. After the us and vietnam elevated the relationship to comprehensive strategic partnership, there were reports that the us and vietnam were negotiating major arms deal. Perhaps the biggest in their history, one that would involve f16 fighter jets. Here are some interesting facts behind us vietnam military relationship. Since an arms embargo was lifted in 2016, us arms exports to vietnam were limited to just coast guard ships and Trainer Aircraft, so from coast guard ships and Trainer Aircraft to f16 fighter jets, what gives, by the way, russia has a. Applied about 80 of vietnams military arsenal, yet vietnam is just one of many countries that the us has been selling military equipment to in the asia pacific region. Here is one snapshot, ill spray aircraft to indonesia for 2 billion, 2 billion in missiles and upgrades to taiwan, 30 billion to south korea, 2 billion in attack helicopters as well as support boats to the philippines and 23. 11 billion dollars to japan for 105 f35 joint Strike Fighter aircraft and related equipment. No wonder china is angered. The us actions do not match its rhetoric when it comes to china. It is clear that it wants to militarize the region very similar to how it did with nato countries in europe, the target there being russia. The Chinese ForeignMinistry Spokesman urged washington to abandon his cold war mentality. And to refrain from provoking arms race in asia. China hopes and when developing bilateral relations and conducting cooperation, relevant countries will effectively abide by the basic norms of International Relations and hegemany and cold war thinking, stop provoking confrontation and stimulating arms races. But that has fallen on uss death ears. The us has gone all out to align regional countries with it. Hop bun issues like. Taiwan, north korea and the disputed islands are cars that the us plays to his favor to do that, but the region will soon turn into a tinder box, if it hasnt already, and it would only take one spark, like the taiwan issue, or north korea for it to explode. That brings us to the end of this edition of world news on press tv. Thank you for watching, stay tuned, news and brief is next. Im shawn murray and this is the conversation. Effectively the British Government dont want an international spotlight on their action. In the conflict in ireland . I mean, the uk state has a long, dark history in covering up its human rights abuses. Its not supposed to be stasy germany. If this is democratic society, lets open the fans, but its so important to have alternative voices. There are still many, many unancered questions, theyre uncomfortable questions. And this is the conversation, where we take an alternative look at politic events and Current Affairs through an irish.
