Hello everyone, youre watching press tv live from the studios in tehron. Thank you for joining us. Now more than five months into the israeli a genocidal war on the gaza strip and the regimes Bombing Campaign keeps taking innocent lives in the beseeged of palestinian territory. According to the gaza Health Ministry, at least 82 more. Ians have been killed and 122 wounded in the israeli attacks since friday. A number of the victims remain under the rubble of the bombed out buildings or are left unattended in the streets as Israeli Forces prevent the emergency relief workers from reaching them. The death sold from the onslot on gaza that began on october the 7th is now approaching 31,000. Over 72,500 people have also been wounded, while thousands more remain of unaccounted for. 2 of the victims are women and children, its now time for the news review section where we delve deeper into the days, one of the days a top stories, so stay tuned, now start with. In the besieg gaza strip continues to take the lives of vulnerable palestinians, infant and young girl are the latest victims, as israel blocks eight trucks trying to enter the coastal territory. Gazas Health Ministry says a twomonth old girl died in kamal adwan hospital in northern gaza and a 20yearold girl in alshifa medical complex in the same region. This brings the official death toll from malnutrition and dehydration to 25. The ministry estimates that does die silently without reaching hospitals. He says the latest deaths prove that the famin in northern gaza has reached lethal levels. The gaza strip, especially the Northern Region is grappling with severe shortages in food, water, medication and fuel. Now to talk more in this, we are joined by mr. Paul larudi, former Us Government advisor from berkeley and also mr. Cats, copresident of palestinian and jewish unity from montreal. Gentlemen, welcome to press tv. Now paul, uh, mr. Larudi, beginning with you, uh, youve seen the stats. Why hasnt anything been done . Weve seen many reports uh by experts that newborn babies, pregnant women, all in all, women and children, who are the most vulnerable and the weak, will die from malnutrition and diseases. This catastrophe was highlighted a long time ago, i mean. There were many warnings in advance by experts saying that this will soon happen, so people will die from starvation, and yet they let it happen. The uh, the reason it has been playing for a long time as well, not only have we seen it, but weve known why, and the israelis have not kept it a secret, the israeli o official officials at every level have said that they this. Is their intention that uh they intend to destroy them through creating this catastrophy, for them its a way to um to create death of the palestinian population to rid themselves of the palestinian population without having to fire a bullet, all they have to do is to block the food, medicine etc from getting there, create a where no one can survive and just wait and there they dont want to wait long, but now its starting to happen and they might be patient until until the entire. Population is wiped out, we dont know whats going to happen, but the thats thats why its happening, because its its designed to happen, its a form of genocide, and that is what theyre practicing, and the world has essentially done nothing to stop it, especially the United States, which gives uh israel the means to implement the genocide, so its very simple, they wanted. And they they have the means to do it and theyre doing it. Thats right. Mr. C talking about aid the many supply trucks, hundreds of them are waiting outside the rafat border to go into gaza. Not only does the zanas regime uh the military uh not give the drivers the okay to enter gaza, but also less designers uh settlers to also block the trucks too. Your thoughts on that sir. Well, as as mr has just stated, its a calculated policy of gen. Side, the uh the goal of which is to uh uh kill as many palestines as possible by way of bombing and a starvation policy, which is exactly what the nazis did in the warsaw ghetto and gaza 2024 uh is the warsaw ghetto the this this 21st century and the uh the. The netanyahu messianic judeo nazi regime plays the role visas the the palestinians that the nazis played visas jews, and in that respect, president lula de silva of brazil was absolutely right on when he drew the parallel between this regime and the nazism the second world war. Its very clear, something i would like to add by the way, i think that everybody noted uh uh president bidens state of the Union Address where he made a reference to the creation of a floating port uh in gaza which would also have floating hospitals to um to tend to the wounded palestinians and it seems to be a. Great humanitarian gesture, but there is a jordanian military and strategic affair expert by the name of hisham creat sat who an article just yesterday and i i i would i would tell people to if they can get a get hold of that article by hisham ksat to to read it, but he made a reference to hidden objectives in this whole proposed. Loading port two basically, one is to cancel the rafa Border Crossing as the means of bringing aid into gas, thats what the israelis are doing actually, and the second is there would be a connection between gaza, this floating port and cyprus and what has said is that the real objective of this called disguised humanitarian aid is to force the the palestinians to voluntarily migrate to europe, thereby evacuating the entire palestin population out of gaza, so in other words, the the game that israel, the United States and the United Kingdom are playing here is that you have a choice, you palestinians, die or migrate to europe, and thats what the floating, floating port is all about, so i would say to to all who who think that this is a humanitarian gesture on the aid of the United States, aided by the United Kingdom, the the two protagonists and dividing palestine and and the keeping the palestinians a subjugated people since 1917 are proposing something that really is a is a disguised means of evaku. The entire population thats right of of of gaza and forcing them to migrate to europe, thats right. Mr. Larudi, mr. Cast mentioned two things uh amongst the other ones, the raf crossing and also the port idea. Mr. C i will get back to you with the port idea, but mr. Larudi, about the rafa crossing, how can israel force sovereign state like egypt, not to allow aid through his borders, what would happen if they did, i mean uh. Say enough is enough, what would israel do, what would happen, and most importantly, why hasnt it happened . Uh, egypt opening the border, we also have other arab and Muslim States in the region which have stated silent. Yes, there were condemnations, but no action, no real action. Israel has no quals about killing arabs, whether theyre egyptians or palestinians or others, its just that the egyptians arent living on territory that they currently claim, although they they claimed sinai in the past, there they they would they would shoot and and kill uh egyptians in order to keep them. From from allowing trucks pass through, theyre trying stopping all land convoys of food, except for the trickle thats coming through rafa, and and this trickle is entirely controlled by israel, perhaps in order to in order to make it appear that they havent completely stopped it, um, but theyre making sure that theres not a. Enough food for more than a small percentage of the population as far as the the idea of the duck i want to add to what uh uh my brother brother bruce kats said that lets remember that there is an enormous very lucrative gas field off the coast of gazza and and the United States and israel both have a strong interest in extracting those resources and also in controlling the reason, one of the reasons for for investment in in israel in the first place was to to control the region, so we can consider this possibly the beginning of an of an american base in the region, which will from which it will operate, but basically a middle eastern. Thats right uh, mr. Cats, many are saying that the us is even more to blame for all the devastation because its funding and fully supporting the Israeli Regime with the killing machine with billions of dollars and on the other side it came up with the eight port idea like you said to help garzans, its just not logical, i mean analysts believe that washington has realized, thats what this analysts are saying that this war has gone too far, theyve realized this and now theyre trying to save face. And also about the air dropping uh of eight which ironically killed few garzans as well uh was also believed to be a pr stunt and also is there any relation between this port and the gas field that uh mr larudi mentioned . Yeah i think that with paul is its an excellent point theres no doubt whatsoever uh going back uh to the uh the original uh blockade which is now gone on since 2007. Um, it should be remembered the end of the end of the 1990s, there was an enormous natural gas reservoir discovered about 30 kilome off the coast of gaza in in palestinian territorial waters and originally that was it was it was supposed to be negotiated with the British Petroleum company and the palestines were to get Something Like 10 or more of the the profits from the the sale of that gas. Now the the wonderful, the wonderful humanitarian tony blair fixed something with the israelis and the americans to basically cut three quarters of the potential profits to the palestinians by uh putting it all in a um an account uh that was under the uh under the control of the United Kingdom in israel uh and what happened is that in 2006 the hamas came to power in a in a democratically in a full democratic election which was then praised by then by by former Prime Minister jimmy carter as as being an example of a great example of of palestinian the palestinian democratic process and what happened is in 2006 then defense minister misha yaln wrote an internal memorandum in which he explained to his boss that unless the the hamas government was was taken out of power in in in gaza the israelies would not be able to exploit the natural gas so this what followed was again the the war uh justified by israeli need israels need for security, it led to operation castle. Killing again hundreds of palestinians and wounding hundreds more. The uh what insued was the blockade, and israel then established Something Like six or seven Oil Platforms or petroleum platforms in the in the gazon waters, from which they have been drawing the natural gas since about 2008 and selling it to. To neighboring arab countries and intend even, i think pipe it to europe, so as paul rudy has stated, there you cannot separate the question of the of the the the floating port and the the connection with cyprus and all of that, you cannot separate from the question of the natural gas in palestinian waters, hes absolutely 100 right, thats right, gentlemen, on that note, i would like to thank mr. Pauludi, former Us Government advisor from berkeley and also, mr. Boots, copresident of palestinian and jewish unity from montreal. Gentlemen, thank you for your time, sir. And with that we come to the end of this news review section. Thank you for being with us, take care. Hamas has released the names of four of israeli captives killed in a regime israeli air strike on march the first in the gaza strip. The group had earlier said that seven capters were killed in the bombardment and had revealed the identity of three of them. It said the number of captives killed by the regime might now exceed 70. This comes as ceasefire talks have so far failed to yield any results. On friday, the spokesman for the alasan brigades abu ubed said the main priority for resistance groups in a potential prisoner swap deal with israel is a complete end to the aggression on the gaza strip. He also described israel as an occupying regime, devoid of humanitarian values, adding that nazi like massacres are being perpetrated in gaza. Thousands of israeli protesters have once again rallied in tel aviv, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister benjamin. Yahu, at least 10 protesters were detained after clashing with the regimes forces who used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. Protesters called for immediate cease fire in israels ongoing onslaught on gaza and the return of the captives being held by Palestinian Resistance groups. They criticized netanyahus handling of the war on gaza and demanded new elections. They also called on us President Joe Biden to stop supporting netanyahu. Meanwhile thousands of demonstrators have rallied across the world to show support for the palestinians and condemned the israely genocide in gaza. Protests were held in london, paris, soul and other cities. Lets take a look. More than five months of major demonstrations, and theyre as energized as ever. Hundreds of thousands of pro Palestinian Protesters from across the uk marching to the america. To deliver message, shame on you, joe biden, shame on you, that message as much for the us president as for the uk government, the majority of people want to cease fire now, and its not, its not even a big ask, what are we asking for humanity and stop killing innocent children and people, on the stage near the American Embassy . Charlotte church, combines welsh and arabic words for a song of solidarity, followed by an allwoman cast of speakers marking the International Womens day and the resilience of palestinian women. As ever, its an eclectic mix of groups and organizations out in great numbers in defiance of attempts by the government to criminalize these overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations. Were here to say to the government that we arent going to be stopped. These arent hate marches and we have jewish blocks, we have jewish people who march with us in solidarity and who march with us and say not in their name. The war on gaza and the uks support for it has deeply polarized british society, and thats already manifesting itself in the way people are voting. A case in point, the byelections in rochedale, Greater Manchester in late february, which handed veteran propalestine campaigner George Galloway of the worker. Party of britain a landslide victory against theres a whole body of people issues of the major party candidates, but we know International Justice and rights and position in the world and whether it shows respect for human rights and International Law matter and certain constituencies where the issue of does britain support and protect the rights the Palestinian People is of particular resonance. This was the fifth National Demonstration of the year and organizers say there will be more. While the civilians in gaza say they feel that their plied is being ignored. The millions of people here and around the world are saying that they are making. Sure through their protests that the palestinians know that their cries are being heard. Cipura press tv, london. If there was any concern that propalestinians in france were starting to lose interest in the five month long attempted genocide of gaza by israel, one of the nations largest demonstrations since the start of the invasion, put that idea to rest. Many thousands converged. The capital for passionate denunciation of president emmanuel macron, the leaders of the paneuropean project, and all of israels war supporters across the west. If france must stay in europe, then europe must respect our demands, and we demand that they stop protecting the terrorist state of israel. Hamas is not a terrorist group, they are a resistance group, and the United Nations refused to label them terrorists. Palestinians have the right to resist, to exist, and to be free. In what many say is illustration of the wests deadly hypocrisy, at least five children were killed by airdropped food aid from western nations and their allies. This week, more than 200 members of European Union parliament called for an arms embargo on israel. They said that by remaining silent on gaza, europe has no credibility to speak on russias actions in ukraine. Germany now provides 28 of israels military imports. Israeli settler attacks in the west bank have almost tripled since october to nine per day. Israeli troops continue to open fire on starving palestinians seeking food aid and also on United Nations troops in lebanon. Some 31,000 gazans have been killed and over 72,00 gazans wounded, all leaving marchers in disbelief. That the west continues to support israel without conditions or consequences. Its scandalous, france is charged with defending International Law, and it even has a United Nations council veto to do so, but it only defends israel instead. I am not asking france to bomb tel aviv, i am asking them to uphold humanitys laws with very simple sanctions that could be put in place on telavive immediately. Even with the holy month of ramadan starting next week, israel has rejected yet another plan for sease fire, many say its a new law for tel aviv. Normalement, one must respect the humanity of others, and normally during ramadan theres a ceasefire to allow people to live their religion in peace, and yet israel wants to keep murdering babies by starvation during ramadan. Its scandalous and unacceptable, there must be a cease fire. Paris claimed that their forces have destroyed four yemeni drones in the gulf of. Aiden that were heading towards a European UnionNaval Operation as israels invasion edges closer to a larger regional conflict. Ramin masahari, press tv, paris.
