Parts of the occupied territories, according to palestinian news agency, a Palestinian Youth at his 20 succum to wounds, he sustained an israeli gunfire during the raid on the city of gen night, five other palestinians also uh, injured there earlier on tuesday, two palestinians were also killed by Regime Forces a military checkpoint northwest of alguts, a 13yearold palestinian boy was killed in the showflot refugee camp. Israel carries out raids on the occupied west bank, almost a daily basis since the regime began its onslot on the gauza strip on october the 7th, attacks by israels forces and settlers are left more than 400 palestinians dead in the occupied territory. Since early october, a Gaza Ceasefire during the holy month of ramadan appears increasingly unlikely after hamas delegates left cairo talks without an agreement accusing zinus israel of thorting efforts put forward by mediators. Meanwhile, the zionist war cabinet deliberates the possibility for potential security escalation. Across various fronts during the month of ramadan from gaza to the invasion of rafah extending to the front with lebanon. On the ground, the israely Occupation Army has expanded its operations deep into the gaza strip, intensifying battles in the cities of hamad and khan unis as a prelude to entry into rafah as the resistance reemerges again in northern gaza, sees fire talks falter this week on the mediast stream. Welcome back, a senior israely official, on the condition of anonymity has revealed that the United States is seeking to aust israeli Prime Minister benyaman netanyahu, in a Statement Issued to the media, the official pointed to new Us Intelligence report showing growing public distrust in netanyahu. He interpreted the wordings in the report is an effort to unseat netanyahu. The Intelligence Report for 2024 published on monday. Warned the viability of the netanyahu cabinet saying it may be in jepardy emit criticisms over its handling of the gaza war. Us intelligence agencies in the report also speculated more rallies demanding netanyahus resignation and snap elections. The Intelligence Report and reactions show growing rift between israel and the us despite washingtons all out support for the regimes genocidal war on the gauza strip. Well were now joined by uh political commentator Scott Bennett whos joining us from San Francisco to uh offer some more insight on the story that we just had for you. Mr. Bennett, welcome to the program uh first of all i want to get your uh your views on this recent Intelligence Report uh that uh its basically uh showing that uh what israel uh has been carrying out this this genocidal onslot on gas. It seems that its weighing down on the shoulders of the Biden Administration as well, now yes, the the uh, the thread assessment by the director of National Intelligence is an interesting document, because the director of National Intelligence essentially is the center of a spiders web where every Intelligence Agency funnels their raw intel and their their analytics to one central hub that then produces this threat. Assessment, so this is a product that includes state department, cia, fbi, defense Intelligence Agency, uh, a variety of other Government Agencies all contributing to various elements of what threatens the United States and its allies. Ive read this document and to to distill it down to its essence regarding gaza uh, i think they recognize the handwriting as on the wall, theyre theyre actually quite timid and. And uh not very creative or revealing of of much of whats happening in the conflict, they just scraped the surface in this report, but essentially theyre saying uh the the world is rising up against israel, the world is and the israelis are rising up against netanyahu, they they see him as uh responsible for lot of the antagonism, lot of the instability that is uh occurring. And more importantly, this threat assessment is is recognizing that uh, netanyahu most likely is going to have very difficult time maintaining his political viability uh as the as this conflict continues, because hamas is not going to surrender, and you are going to witness israel continuing to have a conflict with hamas, in the very near future for years to come. Uh, they also rec. That iran had nothing to do with and had no preknowledge the october 7th attacks which israel uses to justify this genocide um but theyre also a little bit untruthful because theyre trying to establish that all of the people in the region see the United States as the best power broker for some sort of a peace deal, and i think that is flat out wrong. I think the majority of the populations of the countries in the region, from turkey to jordan uh to to uh egypt uh to to iraq, countries that are favorable to the United States, i think theyre increasingly viewing the United States as not. Candidate to to exercise any sort of peace deal brokering because the United States is backing israel and providing the weapons and the military coordination and the funds for israels genocide, and this is not lost on the people the region, so they really are very plain vanilla and and almost almost deceptive in the severity of what were witnessing, i think i think the situation is far more. Far more dangerous and will in fact result in netanyahus uh political disintegration, if not his uh uh removal from this earth in the very near future. All right, thanks lot to Scott Bennett joining us from San Francisco. Moving on, europe is clamping down on Palestinian Solidarity Movement in austrias second largest city, graz. The state prosecutor has recently pressed charges against activists who use pro palestine slogans during demonstration. Major cities have marched in solidarity with palestinians in the gaza strip almost in a weekly basis in october 7th and since then the activists have recurrently faced surpression from both the police and the state. The states initial aim was to b all protest but most charges were dropped step by step. However, graz is a different case. In austrias second largest city, the state prosecutor. Has recently leveled new charges against activists inside this Police Station on kalauer strab over 50 people are questioned for using the slogan from the river to the sea palestine will be free the charge incitement press tv has talked withvita al hussein after her interrogation im just coming out from this Police Station because of questioning i was asked by the police uh about the chanting or slogan from the river to the sea palestine will be free, in their eyes its a crime to scream this in demonstration and for this they invited me to come to the police for questioning about this sp, its already half an year ago, it was a demonstration in the 20th of october, and in my eyes this is a shame for this austrian government, she also said that other activists were told during these interrogations that the use of the slogan free palestine is also a criminal offense as the state prosecutor here claims it to be an expression of hatred for the Israeli Regime. Solidarity with the palestinian liberation movement, people are shouting this in demonstration also from here in graz before years ago. It was never a problem. The pro Palestine Movement cannot expect any support from the Political Parties here in cats just in february. And as the israeli Genocidal Campaign was taking civilian lives in gaza, the citys mayor lk invited israeli ambassador to the city hall. The palestine Solidarity Movement has been active for years despite political opposition. Now the movement is facing new threats, legal action and repression from the police and state prosecutors who aimed to outlaw the Movement Advocacy for a free, peaceful and just palestine from the river to the sea. Nonetheless, they failed to intimidate the activists, despite legal actions and more protests are planned for the people and the resistance in gaza over the coming days and weeks. Reporting for breast tv from graz. Its judicial authorities are considering the extradition of a palestinian man who was arrested without charges over a month ago on request of israel. 5 weeks after his detention the man is now being charged with alleged terrorist plans. Israels extradition request is now being examined by an italian court. Is a 37yearold palestinian citizen from tulkarm in the occupied west bank and a former member of the Palestinian Resistance movements. During the second palestinian intifather in 2006, anan who was just teenager, served four year sentence in israeli jails as a political prisoner, and and holds a valid italian resident permit for special protection. 2017 was arrested without charged by the Italian Police on january 29 on an extradition request by the Israeli Regime which italys Justice Ministery aquised strike. The way weeks following annans arrest on march 11, hes now being charged with terrorism, accused of being part of a terrorist cell that was allegedly planning attacks on israeli civilian and military targets. Italian investigators have used elements provided by tel aviv to charge anan and two other palestinians of allegedly belonging to an operational military structure called the Rapid Response group, which they claim to being. This results in our authorities absurdly arresting anan for being servil to israel, favor done to a prepotent alie, you think the public will ever know about the details of annans arrest . On tuesday, israels extradition request for annan was being examined by a court in laquela in central italy where the man was arrested in late january. Firstly due to the systematic nature of torture other ill treatment of palestinians convicted or a waiting trial in israeli prisons and would risk being tortured if extradited. Secondly, while Israeli Citizens are subject to israeli civil. Also argued that the charges against this client and the other two palestinians were politically motivated referencing italys Prime Minister georgia melones stounch support of the Israeli Regime press tvs National Health service has been a source of pride for millions for more than 70 years, but the nhs is now facing serious challenges and a great deal of criticism. The British Medical Association has warned the Healthcare System is collapsing as a support from london. Britains treat their National Health service, better known as the nhs, with an almost religious reverence. Will grow up using the nhs from the cradle to the grave for the point of use, and that has tremendous significant. For our lives, but today, this eternal source of National Pride is under increased scrutiny with new figures showing more than 120,000 people died last year in england alone from delays in lifesaving treatment. The nhs is a statefunded Healthcare System founded in 1948. Back then, it cost around 20 billion dollars in todays money to run. Last year, the government spent more than 181 billion, despite that, more than 7 Million People are now on the waiting list in england alone, thats nearly 12 of the population having to wait at least 52 weeks for health consultation. Our politicians arent really serving the public interest, they are serving a neoliberal agenda which is to transfer the countrys natural assets and wealth to overseas corporations like United Health of america and other big nationals the government has promised to cut the long cues, but has made little progress. The situation is no better in the rest of the kingdom. In scotland and northern ireland, one in 80 people, and in wales, one in 20 are having to wait more than year for treatment. Theres also the energy costs and inflation that has reduced the value of the nhs budget, meaning it now has to do more with significantly less. Add to the mix, shortage of staff, which means more pressure on exhausted employees. Weve had more than decade of defunding since the financial crash. This has led to a real terms wage cut for staff. The whole population, the health needs have gone up, we have trouble keeping hold of stuff, and weve also lost significant capacity with the nhs through privatization, so we dont have enough fed, we dont have enough staff, and the staff we do have are being treated appallingly. The health. Is also coping with aging population, a large number of people now live with chronic conditions like Heart Disease and diabetes. The covid19 pandemic severely tested the nhs with its aftermath still posing serious challenges. Health officials and experts warn for the uks National Health service to survive, the next government should declare it a national emergency. Saipur is at press tv london. Thats a wrap for now, but stick around, theres plenty more to come here on press tv. The Israeli Occupation demonstrates its hatred on how. The lord. This mask was reduced to rubble by f16 warjet. Their way led to the destruction of the houses around the mosk, causing the fall of martters and injuries amongst neighbors of the mosk. The palestinians did not stand on the romans of the masks idly, but they created temporary amors that dont protect them from neither the cold of winter nor the heat of the summer. Evident that the ceasefire negotiations have entered a state of deadlock with conflicting paths toward collapse. Palestinian sources confirmed that the stumbling of the negotiations essentially began with the retreat of the four parties that prepared the paris paper, namely the United States of america, egypt, qatar, and zinus israel at the end of last january from the provisions the paper. Will the faltering of cease fire agreements in cairo and the escalation of the israeli entity threats to expand grand operations towards the city of rafah, the last area in Southern Gaza that has yet to be entered by occupation tanks, the resistance has once again brought the fight back to the initial point, the city of baithan and the northern most part of the gaza strip, while the israeli Occupation Army e
