The hamas military wing the kasan brigade says they informed qatari officials of the plan on friday. The group spoksman abu ubeida said the move was based on humanitarian grounds and that hamas did not demand any compensation. He says the group is still ready to release the captives using the same procedures like the two american women who were released on friday.

Situation in gaza, they said over 1. 6 million gazas are in dire need of aid. The agencies warned the children, pregnant women and the elderly remain the most vulnerable. Children make up to half of gazas population. This comes as the Israeli Regime says that it would intensify its strikes on gaza. Kariya goda is with the federation of iraqi trade unions. She tells us about the need for. And the normalization deals between some arab states and the regime. Right now the people of ghazzah and the children of ghaza are dying and the world is quiet, even some of the arab countries that pretend to be concerned for the future of jerusalem and its liberation. They are now normalizing with israel. This thing, the normalization, which is humiliating and frightening because the people of palestine is in need of. Total solidarity and and support and a firm stand of every arab and all free people of the world. We are embroiled with him in the struggle, even though we are from far off land geographically. We continue our struggle with him in order to prepare and mobilize the Arab Public Opinion and international Public Opinion in order to assist and and support and stand firmly with the struggle of the Palestinian People. And now, i believe that the iraqi people will spare nothing, will not hold back to be with their Palestinian People. The round of air strikes in syrian of airports reportedly killing one civilian staff member and injuring another. Syrian media quoted military sources saying that the missile strikes targeted airports in the capital damascus and in alapo. The transport Ministry Says the attacks have halted all traffic at the airports which also suffered material damage. All flights have been rerouted to latakacia. Media also reported massive explosions near damascus airport. Seeran air defenses had also intercepted several incoming. Israely missiles. Israel has carried out three rounds of strikes in damascus and alepo airports since the regime launched its war in gaza two weeks ago. Busa is member of the Kenya Palestine Solidarity Movement who joins us from nairobi. Um, welcome to the program. What do you make of the fact that israel uh continues with this bombardment of syria while its involved in another war. Thats the one on the ghaza strip. Thank you. First of all, our solidarity to our brothers and sisters in palestine, they should know that the global south is with them to the hilt, but in regards leading to an. And escalation of the war, it basically means that the zionist regime do not care about International Law, in fact they only talk about International Law when it favors them, but to the respect the sovereinity of other countries that they even consider to be much, you know, lesser human beings. Then they could break International Law at will, but um, what you could also see is that the entire world, particularly can see the the behaviors of the rob, israel straight, in fact, the more they do the the carpet bombing of ghaza and even the threat to attack lebanon and the reckless talk by the netanhou few days ago in in in a way to declare even war with iran uh can only confirm that the the regime in israel uh actually in their thinking uh they only care about the six million jews that they they pretend to represent because the zionist regime has very little to with the interest the even the jews uh interest in fact it is a white settler colonialism that is being advanced for the interest of few elites within the within the within the israel uh you know in the pretext that they are protecting the six million jews to find you know safe home, but in actual sense they are actually even setting the you know the actual hit against the innocent jewish people, and it is upon us who are in genuine solidarity with the Palestinian People to call out that the trouble in gaza is not about you know the whole aspect of ethnic fight between the arab or the jew, it is not even between the islam and the christians, but the war in gaza is about an occupation and a r state that is determined. Actually to break any International Law as so long as it favors you know their interest and in fact our prediction was right from the kenya Palestinian Solidarity Committee that the israel regime will only look at hamas resistance from what they are calling the security perspective but in terms of political perspective they have failed even to win in the. Of Public Opinion, we can see more, even today nairobi, we have more rallies, that are not in the most, but in the public square, to defend the right of a palestinian to exist as sovereign, in fact this whole issue, there are three important things that have since happened that continue to put israel away from Public Opinion, one you cannot. Not bomb people that are escaping war, the People Living in gaza are running away from safety and that is genocide, that is against any International Law, even as they put their was. Alepo, but in actual sense in gaza has been under siege for a long time, in fact the gaza residents have been demanding way less than even self determination, they just want to have their own ports, they want to have their own airport, they want to control what comes in and what gets out of the country, out of gaza, but that is what the israels will not accept, so so gaza has been really under seat, what are your thoughts uh when it comes to the way that uh theres been this uh worldwide uh movement uh which is anti israel but more so pro palestine um which is quite a shift away uh from uh the way that it used to be, especially when it comes even leaders and officials which uh in some cases they have resigned over the brutality of the israeli massacer thats happening uh in the pales in the ghaza strip because the protests are so large in numbers um that uh they im hoping are making a difference do you think that it is and continue to highlight his glaring failures and we are sure that even if they twist the court of Public Opinion and try to call hamas a terrorist organization the majority of the people still see hamas as resistant movement that form part of the resistant act. Is to deliberately defend the right for Palestinian People to have their own state, to defend the right of Palestinian People to their land, which is the most important, and also to defend the right of Palestinian People to be ruled by a government of their choice, and what is happening today, as you watch the events in unfolding within gaza is an equivalent to an holocaust, in fact those people have been crying about victims of holocaust and okay, thank you very much for that, we do appreciate it, that is booker, guess, member the Kenya Palestine Solidarity Movement, were looking at live images coming through from islamabad, the pro Palestine Rally is being held in that country, which uh has is not the first one, obviously being held there, you have a Large Population there that uh sides with palestine almost completely and uh here we have another demonstration uh in solidarity with palestinian is taking place there in the capital islamabad have been held across the world to demand an end to the bloodched in gaza andmit the regimes brutal aggression against the besieg territory.

We want those horrible people who support genocide to come clean and tell the truth, we want the free press to report exactly what is happening, we want to free palestine. Slow slaughtering of people and um just grief, grief over the horrific murders, but a flicker of hope at news of aid making it from egypt through the rafa crossing into gaza.

Abdullah has become a global icon and inspiration with supporters to say that they will never stop demanding his freedom. Ramin mazari has more from paris. Known as the arab worlds nelson mandela, and europes longest serving political prisoner, has now been in a french jail for 40 years. In 1982, amid daily air strikes and with israel about to invade lebanon, abdullah headed in antizionist and prosocialist organization which took responsibility for assassinating an israeli and an american intelligence agent in paris. Many are concerned that abdullah has effectively been given life sentence in. So very proud of having abolished the death penalty, but instead of executing with the guillotine, they are forcing slow death by prison on this global hero. 40 years he has refused to recountant his support for palestine and his act of legitimate selfdefense in the face of israeli violence. Peris refuses to send him back to lebanon, despite repeated requests from lebanese officials, with washington and tel aviv. He is such an example to the world because of his resistance design is attempts to occupation and because of what he has been forced to suffer so unjustly and because he continues to fight against the crimes of imperialism. His regular political statements are received with great attention not just in occupied palestine and his home country of lebanon, but around the world. Protests demanding abdullahs release are regular in france and lebanon, while flags adorned with abdollahs face. Are seen at seemingly every leftist or Union Demonstration in france. The western Mainstream Media effectively has a blackout on abdullah, but that hasnt stopped him from becoming inspirational symbol of antiimperialist resistance around the world with supporters who say theyll never stop demanding his freedom.
