4 30 pm in irans capital, tehran, this is press tv news, thanks for joining us. The Political Bureau chief of the Palestinian Resistance moved hamas says the Israeli Regime and the us cannot. Achieve through politics what they fail to achieve through war. Addressing a conference in the lebanese capital bay roods by video conferencing, ismna added that the televive regime keeps committing the mous crimes against palestinians. He said residents of gaza are being killed, starved and displaced by israely forces. A also highlighted the israely attacks on hospitals and humanitarian groups. He further lashed out of the us for its complicity in israeli crimes. However, he underlined that the resistance front will continue to stand firm against israels. Acts of aggression until the occupied territories are liberated. He further praised of of palestinians for their resistance against the Israeli Occupation. The israely massacer of palestinians in gaza keeps unfolding as the regime pounds the blockad a territory with air strikes and artillery fire. In the latest strikes, the regime bombed the president ial of building in der albala, central gaza strip, killing at least two children. A similar strike in that area also left the woman dead and many others injured. The regime also fired artillery shells toward areas in southern and central gaza strip. The overall deathtul now stands at nearly 30,000 since the onslot began on october 7. Over 70,300 others have been entered. Joined us earlier from deral bala central gaza strip to give us of details on the humanitarian situation and sieged territory, since the very beginning of this al on gaza strip, the israeli accuvation forces uh have have been using the salvation and the humanitarian conditions as as as the weapon of war against the Palestinian People, they are aiming at pushing the Palestinian People to aquiaz and to bow under this unprecedented humanitarian conditions and to put more pressure on the Palestinian Resistance. The humanitarian conditions are very catastrophic and they are beyond catastrophic because we are talking about at least 2. 3 million palestinian civilians, 60 to 70 of them who are children and women, they have nothing eat, literally they have of nothing eat, everything that could be eaten was eaten by the Palestinian People, and according to multiple eye witnesses from gaza city and the northern parts of gaza strip that the people there actually ate of everything, they ate the grasses, they ate the. Animal food, they even anything and if you have watched the videos coming from the annabul round about as the Israeli Occupation forces continuously attack the Palestinian People there attempting to reach or to have access to the food and the basic humanitarian needs, they have they have no problem to go so close to the israeli tanks in order to get anything eat it in order to snatch a bag of a flower of white flower to feed themselves and their families so. This these these scenes actually are the manifestation of the israeli continuous pressure in terms of the humanitarian conditions against the Palestinian People uh so apparently the the people here in gaza strip are completely stuck and the trapped under the continuous israeli strikes alongside the humanitarian conditions and the Infectious Diseases that are still hitting and and spreading among the people here in gaza strip. The potential new cease fire deal between hamas resistance movements and the israel regime was the topic of the explainer program. In the program we took a closer look at the details of the two sides demands and the stumbling blocks to a truce in gaza. The true stocks appear to have switched gears and is now back on track in terms of israel and hamas based on reports that are coming out of paris where the most recent true stocks were held, but as the saying goes, cautious optimism is the rule of the day. Well, the latest is that hamas has received this draft proposal from the gaza trues and initial reports, well they have come up with a resolution on the issue of uh the palestinian prisoners for example and israeli captives. Lets take a look at the proposal and what it entailed, in terms of uh what was hammered out in paris and then now in the hands of hamas, youre looking a 40day pause uh in all military operations. It also includes the exchange of palestinian prisoners, Sticking Point for israeli captives, which is uh one the major points mentioned here, and also the ratio, thats really important, before it was 31, here were looking at 10 to1, that means for every israeli captive, you have 10 palestinian prisoners that will be released, well if theres a agreements on the issue of captives and also on the issue of prisoners, that would be major breakthrough since that has been again as mentioned one of the Sticking Points. Now in this latest truth package, lets take a look at what this would entil, for example in terms of what hamas needs to do, 40 captives need to be released, they need to be all woman, and also the sick and the elderly need to be included in there over the age of 50, and also israel will need to then going to what israel needs to do, it needs to release 400 prison. Thats where the ratio of ten to one comes in, and also no rearrests, why is that important . Because israel has a practice of releasing palestining prisoners, then arresting them again. For the last time around, one of the reasons hamas did not agree to a cease fire was that it said, it cant not go ahead with talks while the palestinians are starving, and by the way, that is a war crime thats being committed by israel, but in this case we have seen that hamas has actually addressed that under the proposed cease fire, for example, hospitals bakeries need to be repaired, okay . So there you have a humanitarian and hunger issue being dealt with. Um, also 508 trucks daily need to enter the gaza strip, and thousands of tents and caravans will need to be delivered to house to displaced. Uh, this one is really important because youre looking at thousands, tens of thousands even more that are not only displaced, they dont have anywhere to stay at this point. Now its interesting to note the us president s input in this matter and. According to the reports, joe biden has been really eager for immediate ceasefire to take place, even though it was supplying the Israeli Regime with bombs and missiles throughout all this time. Take a look at some of the statements that he has made, which is again very important. For example, he has said israel has agreed not to engage in military activities during ramadan in the gaza strip. Okay, now thats important. Ramadan beguns begins on march 10th. He also said that israel will make it possible for palestinians to evacuate from raffa. Again this. Defensive on which has been in the news so much, people fearing for the lives of palestinians. One of the now when we go to the issue of displaced palestinians, there has been another revelation which has been major on on the issue, and thats the palestinians return to their land, their homelands in the gaza strip. The most recent truth actually includes the following where you have them returning to the north of the gaza strip, okay . So a gradual return. To the north of the gaza strip, except for men of military age, so thats a condition that israel has set, the return factor is important in that it may mean, may mean the elimination of displacements such as the palestinians to other countries like egypt, because that would again uh mark another nakba, as many have described that to be, but maybe thats not in the works any longer. Now if there is a sign that this truth proposal may work, it may have come from the move made by the now former palestinian Prime Minister, submitted his governments resignation, lets take a look at what uh he has Said Muhammad shataya, he stated that the next administration would need to take accounts the merging reality in gaza which has been laid waste by nearly five months of heavy fighting. Okay, so thats what mr. Shataya has said, and it is reported that this move could actually open the door to reforms for the pa, this is what was reported before, remember the us saying the pa has to be reformed, well even though this. Indicate that uh, keep in mind this is something that not only last time around, but this time around most likely will also be rejected by hamas, unless theres a change. Again, this is evolving story in some respects. Now no sooner have the news come out, hamas already said that big gaps remain that need to be bridged before a gaza cease fire. These are some of the reactions that are coming in. Disagreement with us President Joe Biden that fighting should be halted. Thats one of the other disagreements or other points made by hamas. Characterizing the us request as premature and finally uh he has said does not match the situation on the ground, so you have three points over there uh that has been uh at this point replied by uh the hamas uh also uh senior hamas rep in lebanon osam hamdan has added his input into this calling the ceasefire proposal publicity stunt that the us is trying to influence the palestinian Public Opinion and the way its doing that is by leaking the news that we just uh have been telling you about this agreement with the aim of exerting pressure and creating weakness among the palestinians so so far this is what uh has been revealed based on the. Stocks that have come out of paris, waiting for a reaction from hamas overall as to whether this is going to be going ahead or not . Morely troopers are killed in battles with Palestinian Resistance fighters in the gaza strip. The israely military has confirmed the death of two of its personnel, including a Commanding Officer in northern gaza. According to the military, seven soldiers were also seriously injured in the fighting at the same location. The latest fatalities pushed the death doll among. Really forces to 243 since the start of the Ground Invasion of gaza in late october. Palestinian groups however sayid that the regime is hiding the real number of the deaths of his troopers to avoid the israeli public anger.

The Regime Forces attack the cities of ramala, janin, and bethlehem in pred dawn raids. A young palestinin man was injured and seven others detained in bethlehem. The incursions came just hours after israely forces fatally shot a 34yearold palestiny. Near a military checkpoint east of bethlehem city. Earlier on tuesday, three other palestinians were also killed during raise near the city of nableus. Since the onset of the israeli genocidal war in gaza early october, Israeli Forces and settlers have stepped up their attacks against palestinians across the occupied territories. In this latest report, the un said that around 400 palestinians including at least 100 children, have been killed in the occupied west bank since then. First of mondel joined us earlier from ramala to update us on the situation in the occupied west bank. Lets take a listen. The israelis are storming all the palestinian areas. This night the Israel Forces had stormed jin and its refugee camp and the the outskirts of the refugee camp classes have taken place between the palestinians and members of the resistance groups there here and Israeli Forces restormed several areas they stoned a rihan neighborhood north ramalah and detained at least one palestinian its not clear yet why this palestinian had been detained but the israel is continue to claim that the military operations across the occupied lustbank is aimed to detain palestinians, members of the resistance groups, palestinians inciting against the Israeli Forces and the israeli military, at the end of the day this means that anyone would be taking part in antiisraeli protest and demonstrations would be clearly supporting the Palestinian Resistance. And praising palestinian morters then would be subjected to detention. Thats why the israels had been arresting palestinians from all works of life and all ages, students, University Students and School Students of course. With nearly all votes talid, more than 100,00 us democrats in the state of michigan have cast uncommitted ballots in the primary. Now that is in a show of discontempt with President Biden over his stance on the israely genocide in gaza. The quote uncommitted Vote Campaign sends a strong message to biden ahead of what is expected to be tight waste for the white house in november. In our News Review Program we discussed the issue with two experts. Lets take a listen to what they have to say. Were watching press tvs news review where we look deeper into some of the top stories the day. On this segment of the program, president ial primaries have been held in the us state of michigan as election campaigns are in full swing across the nation. Projections indicate that donald trump won the states republican primary by a large margin strengthening his grip on the partys white house nomination. Niki haley, his last remaining rival came in distant second, meanwile and coming president , joe. Is projected to have easily won the democratic primary and the key battleground state, but a protest by a protest vote that is by democrats angry over his support for the israeli genocidal war on gaza was growing as returns were counted. I voted uncommitted because i think President Biden is not doing the right things for for for the palestine palestinian who has the right to leave. I mean . I believe in a peace in both nations, you know, both nations should believe in peace, but the what going on there, its unbelievable, we collectively, i think anybody from a different parties and everything go into the democratic ball and fell and uh vote uncommitted just so that its multicultural, racial, its a social issue that were all being affected with, we want just just justice, that come later, but lets call for sease fire right now. President biden has been under fire both at home and abroad for his unflinching support for the israeli war on gaza, washington has not only provided the tele aviv regime with military assistance but also vedod several Un Security Council resolutions on the gaza ceasefire. Many American Voters rallying behind the democratic camp cast uncommitted ballots in the primary in protest at bidens pro israel stance. Well joining us on this edition of the news review we have historian and journalist breck yankers joining us from hausselt belgium and also we have director of center for Muslim Affairs mr. Jahanganger muhammad joining us from manchester uh gentleman welcome to the program. Lets start off with mr. Uh jankers uh in hazelt uh give us uh your perspective please on uh the uh primary protest ballot uh an uncommitted ballot. Uh in michigan and protested bidens pro israel stance, the fact that a committed generally committed, democratic voting electorate has such a problem with the the main candidate of their party that they drove decides to vote uncommitted or to make sure that at the very least they just dont vote for joe biden who is not just of course the main candidate but also the currently seating president of the United States is very very special sign and i think probably unprecedented in the in the recent history of the United States, the fact that there is such a massive blowback against the person who is at this point after all the most. Important and most the most the most important and the most powerful sorry democratic candidate, member of the Democratic Party of the United States and this by itself is one of the the the recent science of change that even in the United States where up until recently there would never have been any question of doubt regarding support for this entity, any question for god for the fact that they oppose you know habas, they oppose palestine in general because of course the that that long history of United States support and United States backing of israel, the fact that you see now it changed that the growing number of americans um yeah, this is its not just in the United States, in fact you see it all over the world and even in the west itself, all over the west that were up until now support for zionism and support for for the existence i say of israel and his socalled right of defense was unquestioned jawing muhammad. Uh, its evident now that uh the biden administrations support for israel is starting to weigh heavy on uh the white houses shoulders at this point, isnt it . Uh, it is, but uh, as uh, the other guest has said, this is defining moment, not just uh, in in in world history, but also in the west, in western history, because we uh, we see wholesale. Revulsion across the board about whats happening in gaza when people see these pictures, but what that is also doing is highlighting how the ruling elites or the two Political Parties in the uk and in the us are basically totally unresponsive to their own people, their own democracy is failing them and they are actually responsive to certain interests and elites and power structures outside uh outside the people, so the people are really not that that important to uh the the the the leaders of these countries any anymore, and and uh thats top the injustice that people are seeing, thats also driving lot of anger and people to distance themselves from. From the main Political Parties, thanks lot, gentlemen, breck junkers historian and journalists joining us from uh hazelt, belgium, and thanks to joung muhammad, Director Center for Muslim Affairs, joining us from manchester, with that brings us to an end here on this edition of the news review, but stick around, theres plenty more to come here on press tv. A candle light visual has been hel on washington dc in honor of the Us Service Member who selfimilated and protest at the ongoing israeli genocide in the gaza strip. The incident triggered more global outrage over washingtons gaza policy. I mean, Somebody Just burn himself to death to ask, i mean to demand to free palestine. Theres so much anger at at the us imperialism funding all the slaughter in israel right now, and people are willing to go through a little bit of rain. To see it when somebody, mean Somebody Just killed themselves doing it, right .

People gathered outside the israely embassy to pay tribute to aaron bushnel, but Holding Placards in commemoration of the us soldier, they waved palestinian flags and chanted free palestine. 25yearold bushnel was an active duty member the us force, he said himself on fire sunday and. Protest at us complicity in israeli crimes in gaza. The video posted on social media showed him repeatedly shouting free palestine as the flames engolved his body. That was the second incident of his kind outside of an israely facility in the us. And with that we come to an end for this additional world news. Thanks for tuning in. It seems the Israeli Occupation will conclude the grand operation in the city of khan unis in Southern Gaza within days, withdrawing thereafter to the newly established security zone along the border with gaza, just as it did weeks ago in the city of gaza and its surroundings to the north. Does this mean that the next step is to begin the ground operation in rafah . It appears that the decision regarding the operation is still pending, not only for field related reasons, but lot of regional players prefer the negotiating. Path to end designus aggression against gaza, hence all eyes are now a possible improved Prisoner Exchange deal, both in form and content compared to the first paris formula reached between qatar, egypt, the United States and designist israeli entity last january. Gaza talks underway this week on the medias stream. Lo quiere colocar aca transvisor del dengue, permite el ingreso al personal, el personal de salud esta viniendo casa por casa, entonces. Buscar decision del 25 de noviembre, derecho guardar silencio de las manifestaciones. Last week, the second edition of the paris meeting took place in the french capital attended by representatives from zionist israel, the United States, egypt and qatar, with the aim of solidifying the negotiating framework that will guide the indirect negotiations between the Palestinian Resistance hamas and the israeli entity. However, after the israeli entity signed backtracked from what was agreed upon in paris previously under the direction and pressure of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu who prevented his. Iating team from returning to cairo to continue the talks and had stripped them of their powers delegating his special adviser instead. This made it clear that no one can trust the commitment of the occupation even to what it and
