Hello everyone, thanks for tuning in press tv, world news. This regime continues, indiscriminate aerial strikes on the gaza strip now for fifth consecutive day, killing more people in besieged palestinian territory. Scores of palestinians have lost their lives and fresh israeli attacks on gaza, pushing the death toll now to over 1,100, including scores of children, attacks have left more than 5300 people injured as well, israels pound at gazas commercial zones, residential areas and refugee camps, gaza is under full israeli sige and now only power plant there has already shut down due to running out of fuel. According to health authorities, overwhelmed hospitals without electricity will have to rely on emergency, generators, which only last two to four days and israely forces of fatally shoot another palestinian teenager during overnight raid near the occupied west bank city of al khalil, according to palestinian media, 16yearold monis rebi zayat died of critical wounds, he sustained in the chest by Israeli Forces, live fire, new fatality brings number of palestinians killed by Regime Forces in the west bank since saturday. To 29, around 150 have also been injured, the hamos Resistance Movement has called on palestinians in the of west bank to join its operation against the regime. Palestinians in the occupied west bank city of ramallah took to the streets again on the fifth consecutive day of israels war on the basiged gaza strip. The horrific footage from gaza over the past days cannot help but shock. Sisters say, the air strikes and the massacres being carried out in the ghaza strip is under the protection of the american administration, and whats going on is terrifying. Israel cut the water and the electricity, people will not have access to food and fuel. Israeli Occupation Army is shelling residential buildings and they are evacuated, children, women and elderly are of killed and remain under the rubble. These images hurt the feelings, but unfortunately, speaking about a cruel enemy, nothing will affect them, they are killers, we palestinians hold the same blood here in ramallah and in gaza, but it is their destiny that they are on the battlefield. Gazans hold the arab and islam flag, they continue to keep the arab heads up. The least to do today is to take part in the protests and demonstrations. The least to do is going to the military checkpoints and areas where settlements are and clash with them. Our blood is one and we are in the same. Pass people were chanting for the gaza strip and for hamas fighters while they were touring the main streets of ramallah. Since this in start of the israeli war on the gaza strip, palestinians say they struggled to live normal lives. As the streets were really eary, palestinian officials who were taking part in the rally pointed out that the bloodiest operation in gaza requires Immediate International intervention to protect the gazans who have been suffering for years because of the israeli blockades and wars. Today, all forms of comprehensive resistance must be adopted. This war has literally United People of different political affiliations, and with our unity we can fight the genocidal war. This genocide has been carried out by the fascist Israeli Regime. Today its urgently needed to address the United Nations to ensure the protection of gaza residents. We must also work on prosecuting the israely regime for the crimes committed against the Palestinian People. Israel has imposed a full down which tightens the grap on the daily lives of the residence of the occupied west bank, heavy military presence has converged all over the west bank, preventing transporting between west bank areas because of the. Closure of military checkpoints. Since saturday, Israeli Forces have killed over 25 palestinians and wonded a few hundred others, many of them were taking part in pro gaza rallies. Protest against israels war on the besep have spread all over palestinian territories. However, while israels onslot on gaza goes on unabated, more palestinians are being killed in the occupied west bank and quds. For press tv. Irania president abraham raycy stressed the need to end israels war crimes against palestinians during regimes brutal onslot on the gaza strip, in a phone call the Saudi Crown Prince muhammad bin salman, the iranian president , also called for unity among muslims in the face of the regimes atrocities, he added israeli crimes against palestinians which are committed with the us green light will bring. Destructive insecurity upon the regime and its backers. Phone calls the first between irans president and the Saudi Crown Princes and riad and terran resumed diplomatic ties following a china broker deal in march. Joing us for extended uh coverage on this uh very story is Charlotte KatesInternational Coordinator samamed Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network joining us out of vancouver and robert bank. Fantina, author and journalist, also joining us out of the canadian city of vancouver. I like to welcome you both to the program. Now um, charlet, im going to start with you, your initial thoughts on the atrocities were seeing, its wild because ive been watching western media following very closely the developments in gaza and occupied territories, and its while youre theyre still talking about the first day operation alaxa flood with the place, the fatalities involved in the israeli side, but the israeli bombardments, the thousand uh structures. Flattened 1100 palestinians, killed 260 children, you dont hear a whole lot about that over the past five days, your initial thoughts on the fact the iranian president and uh the saudi uh crown prince of muhammad bin salman are now talking, and the ramifications of that if regional countries can somehow unite over this . Well, one of the things that i think its clear that this action by the Palestinian Resistance did is really put an end to all the talk about normalization and normalization between arab countries and the Israeli Occupation regime. I mean, i think its clear more than ever, perhaps the reality of what zionism is. The reality is that the Zionist Occupation regime is the entity that throws bombs from the sky indiscriminately, targeting residential towers, universities, schools, mosks, homes, um, targeting and encircling. Two Million People in the besieged ghaza strip, but more than just being uh victimized by the horrific and genocidal assault of the occupation regime back to the hilt by the United States, the european union, britain and its partners, um, this has also been a tremendous example the Palestinian Peoples continued will to resist and to free their land and to show quite clearly that there is no future. For this project that seeks to maintain its domination just through through genocidal arial bombing when the Palestinian Resistance is fighting for the liberation of its land, and so thats the framework in which there are regional discussions taking place, in which its clear that the future of the region is not in the hands of the United States and the zionist entity to dictate what the future of the people of the region will be, instead the people of the region have the ability to dictate their. Future together, free of imperialism and colonialism and free of zionism. Thank you, charlotte, robert pantina, welcome to the program, we have breaking uh news uh there out of a the uh besieg gaza strip there, robert that the soul power plant in the uh gaza strip that has just run out of fuel, leaving over 2. 3 Million People there completely without power and water is down to uh just trickles in the last few hours is. Very well know that fuel, water and power have been cut off completely and of food trucks are not allowed in by the Israeli Regime. The arab league uh robert has uh convened emergency ministerial meeting, its condemned massacre in gaza, the bombardments on civilian infrastructure, killing of civilians and now this bloccade, but if you just to visualize what that meeting look like, you can tell the the sudanese desk, the bahraini and the emirati desk and the and the. Morocco desco are awfully quiet considering they normalized ties and now at least we have tehran and riad talking, hopefully theyll have read think twice about falling down that same path. Yes, certainly uh riyad is not going to be uh in any rush now to normalize relations with israel following this this uh barbaric uh barbaric genocidal action against the people in gaza, this is collective punishment, its a uh violation International Law, starving people, preventing getting water, these are these are crimes against humidity, and the uh Israeli Regime is is uh performing them a daily basis, committing them a daily basis, and the rest of the world is or most of the world is silent, the arab nations that youve mentioned are need to speak up very forcibly uh, very strongly and support the people of gaza and oppose a zist regime, those countries that have normalized relations need to sever ties, because this is not what their people have ever wanted, and now with this latest murderous genocidal onslot, this is uh stronger than ever an indication that the zionist entity is not going to give any give inch to the Palestinian People that when other uh arab nations normalize these relations, its usually with the thought or the belief that there will be some concessions made, there are going to be no concessions made, there never were, israel has never wanted that, has never intended it, and has no intention of doing it, the only thing israel will understand is force in the form of. Sanctions and International Condemnation thingler violence and occupied west bank has broken a record over 700 cases of settler at the reported cases of settler violence against palestinians throughout the occupied west bank this year thats according to the uns oacha humanitarian uh Affairs Division there and its just wild because we also know that Benjamin Netanyahu has built a career on not giving any concessions to palestinians where did they think especially this extreme right cabinet, weve seen 200 what, 30, 40, 50 palestinians gun down in the streets throughout this year, uh, where did the Israeli Regime think this kind of policy toward palestinians will ultimately get it . You know, the occupation regime wants to and believes that it can see the Palestinian People defeated, uh, they have not learned the lesson of the past 75 years and the past 100 years of of zionist colonization, which is that. Thats not possible, i mean if it, it wasnt accomplished by the nacpa in 1947 to 1948, it hasnt been accomplished through the five successive wars that have been visited upon the palestinians in gaza, um, to attempt to force them away from the path of resistance, uh, none of these, it hasnt been stopped by denying Palestinian Refugees their right to return for the past 75 years and forcing them to remain in refugee camps, not to mention the fact that 70 of the. Population of gaza are themselves Palestinian Refugees, denied their right to return home. Um, none of these things have worked to do that, yet the occupation continues to run its entire political system on candidates competing to show who can be more genocidal and punitive against the Palestinian People. I mean, one of the things thats also been happening quite recently, has been the attack on palestinian prisoners, the ongoing announcements by notorious fascist ben gaveer that and you know one or another new series of punitive attacks on palestinian prisoners will be put into place. Well, what is one reason why the resistance is undertaking this operation . I mean, among many others, but its to free the palestinian political prisoners, the 5,350 palestinians locked behind occupation bars, that every day, um, ben gavier has been announcing new policy of torture and abuse again. So fundamentally um when the occupation leadership are engaging atrocity propaganda and claiming that theyre concerned about the deaths of their citizens, well they are the ones who have the power to uh put an end to their crimes and to stop the policy of genocide, because people who are subjected to genocide, people who are subjected to war crimes, people who are subjected to crimes against humanity will not simply sit back and let those crimes happen, they will take action to stop. Them and the occupation regime is fully empowered to stop doing those things any time. They show that they have no concern in fact at all for the they certainly have dont have any concern for civilian life. Look at what theyre doing in gaza right now. This shows how much they love life. They dont love life. They the the occupation regime is dedicated to producing the greatest amount of Palestinian Death possible. Um, and so they have it fully within their hands to. Stop their crimes and to hold themselves accountable for the death of everyone who has lost their life in occupied palestine from 1947 to the present day. Every single one of those deaths, all of the blood is on the hands of the occupying power, is on the hands of the zionist regime, they are the ones who are responsible for and committing the war crimes and the crimes against humanity, and thats thank you charlie, and thats another thing, robert, iranian president , abraham raycy said that israel is committing war crimes in the besieg gaza strip as we speak, and all with the us green light backing, my question to you, us socalled champion of human rights throughout the world, is watching this takeplace . But you hear President Joe Biden say nothing or anything about the children and women uh getting slaughtered in uh gaza and this whole uh narrative that we always hear out of washington that oh yeah we we dont have a problem with palestinians we encourage peace between palestinians and israelis we have issue with hamas guess what its not hamas thats getting uh basically uh annihilated right now in uh gaza is it its women and children and ordinary civilians. Completely disproportion at how many hamas members have probably died in the last five days and even back in 14 200 2,260 palestinians uh killed, 70 of them were civilians, we dont and and then the uh the regime denied if you remember the Un Human Rights Council and invest i see investigators uh visas and entry accesses get into gaza and to probe said crimes, so war crimes are taking place according to the iranian president and according. To all the media and all the footage were seeing out of uh gaza all with us backing and this whole thing and its the same narrative we see in iran, we dont were not doing this because we have issue with the iranian people, these sanctions are against the iranian government, the iranian people are the ones bearing the brunt, were seeing it in syria and yemen, your final thoughts on this, robert . Yeah, us hypocrisy is front and center as always, but its certainly been exaggerated and amplified with this, the us is is sending additional munitions and weaponry to israel now, it has sent its largest warship off the coast to to be off the coast of gaza, to intimidate uh the people of palestine, the United States doesnt Care International law or human rights, this has been demonstrated clearly uh for actually for centuries, and and no uh, its no more blatant than uss treatment of the Palestinian People, and the current case is striking, as you mentioned, hamas is not the. Bearing the brunt of this suffering, the the fact that food is no longer allowed to get in, water is almost exhausted, theres no more electricity in gaza, that two and a half Million People are suffering horribly, and the United States is not only letting it happen, but its financing and supporting in every way possible, this is the United States is complicit in all of israels uh war crimes and crimes against humanity. All right, steve, both of you, thank you for joining us for this uh extended conversation here, Charlotte Kates and uh, robert fantin. Both joining us from vancouver, canada, meanwhile people in Different Countries have held new rallies and solidarity with palestinians in gaza and their struggle for freedom, the chanted slogans and support of the palestinian cause and denounce Israeli Regimes atrocities. Have listen. It was standing room only as thousands gathered a narrow street outside belgiums Foreign Affairs department in brussels on wednesday evening, with israels aerial bombardment of gaza continuing, emotions were running high. Two of my cousins yesterday have been found burned under the weapons and they are now in the sky because the boom because of israel, listen to me, please stop kill. Killing innocent people, stop killing innocent people, that means you are weak because you couldnt do anything to the resistance, in palestine all children, one years, two years, 10 years, why why fighting for children . I want this to be seen, because the cnn, the bbc, the western media is not telling the truth about whats going on in gaza, the death troll in gaza is rising by the hour, those attending the demon are angry that israel is enforcing an illegal bloccade while the west refuses to intervene. No water, no electricity, no gas, no food, so it means its against International Law violation of the International Humanitarian law also. Israel is colonialist, and thats the point, and in a democracy, you can, you can accept this. Protesters brand ben aw criminal, just before the brussels rally took place, eu dignitaries held event outside the European Parliament in solidarity with israel. There was not a single mention of palestinian victims. Meanwhile, activists insist their campaign has nothing to do with religion. Here for example, we have lot of jews, they are with us here in this manifestation. We are friends with, we dont have a problem with jews, we we have a problem with sionism, we have problem with the ocupa. As the carnage continues in gaza, more protests are currently being organized here in belgium. The message we keep hearing from campaigners is, this time its different, the world is being informed like never before, and its now simply matter of time before palestinians win their freedom. Trume, press tv, brussels. Turkish president has worn the us plan to send Aircraft Carrier group to west asia could result in escalation the situation there. Richard tiperwan says, this may end up as massacre for palestinians. Heres a report. Turkish president Tayyib Erdogan has warned that the presence of us warships in west asia could lead to a massacre. He says the us decision to send the uss. Gerald r. Ford to the region amounts to the us. What is it coming to do . It will take against bombing down gaza by striking the surrounding areas and start committing serious massacres. The president also criticized the siege on gaza saying cutting off electricity and water on palestinians is totally against the human rights. Erdogan has also warned israel civilians. And blocking vehicles that carry humanitarian aids. Erdogan said that a conflict carried out with shameful methods cannot be considered a war, but massacre. Many believe the us move is as dangerous as the bombing of innocent civilians in gaza, as it is considered a siige on this trip which is already under total bloccade imposed by israel, after it bombed the rafah Border Crossing that connects the strip to its neighboring egypt and is considered for gasons as the only way to get aids and supplies and their only way out as well. Erdogans comment aim at reducing tensions. Erdogan criticized the us move to send Aircraft Carrier to the region near gaza at this time. Because sanding this aircraft means besiging gaza and isolating it from the entire world. The us blind support to israel will only result in serious consequences. Especially on the people of the gazza strip. Erdogan had previously asked to mediate between the two sides to end the tension, saying he openly opposes the killing of civilians on israeli territory, but at the same time can never accept the indiscriminate massacre of innocents in gaza who are being subjected to continuous bombardments by israel. Erdogan called on International Bodies to help reduce the tension as well and work to calm the situation. The possible presence of a us Aircraft Carrier group near occupied palestine is largely seen as an escalation to the already tense situation. This comes as no. Significant steps seem to be taken by regional or International Actors in order to end the tensions and push israel to stop its aggression on the gaza strip. Rahshan saglam, press tv, istanbul.
