Of hello everyone, youre watching press tv live from the studios in teren. Thank you for joining us. Now over five months into israels genocidal war on the gaza strip and the regime continues pounding to blockated territory with indiscriminate air strikes and artillery fire. We were giving diapers to people, flor, spaghetti and other things, suddenly with some missiles fired at us, some young men were killed, some people were wounded, they hit the floor bag and hit the people while taking it. Israeli fire has killed eight palestinians and wounded dozens at an air Distribution Center at the alnos refugee camp. The attack came hours after israel bombed the un food Distribution Center in southern vafa, killing at least five. People, including an unra staffer. Height seekers were also targeted in northern gaza by the regime forces, where five civilians were killed. Nine members of the same family were killed in attack on the buurage refugee camp in central gaza srif. More than 31,340 palestinians have been killed since the war began early october. Most of those killed are women and children. Over 73,00 gazans have also been injured. Our correspondent moti abu masab joined us earlier from gazas central city of dailallah with the latest updates on the israeli atrocities. Lets take a listen. The israeli war planes continue there are strikes against the residental buildings, particularly here in the city and even albures refugee camp uh the last and the fresh attack actually targeted. Residental building and burge refugee camp, at least five Palestinian Civilians were rewartedly killed over that attack, while douzens are still trapped under the rubble, in the meantime another civilian car was hit over the last couple of hours in gaza city, at least four Palestinian Civilians were reportedly killed over that attack, even in jabalya refugee camp, the israeli warbans also renewed their air strikes and incursions against several areas, more residental buildings were pound. By the israeli relentless air strikes against that area, we are still talking about continuous israeli air strikes, are still hitting the residental buildings, claiming more lives of the Palestinian People, while the israeli salvation war is still continued and maintained, particularly when it comes to the uh food and aid Distribution Centers and elsewhere in gaza strip. The European Parliament has called on israel to open all crossings. The blockad gaza strip for humanitarian aid to be delivered, the resolution that was adopted by the majority of the Eu Parliament members calls on israel to immediately allow and facilitate full aid delivery to gaza. The resolution ages an immediate and permanent cease fire to address the lumen risk of mass starvation in the palestinian territory. It has strongly condemned the repeated attacks on civilians seaking aid in gaza as well as humanitarian and medical facilities and their staff. The european. Parliament also called for the protection of humanitarian convoys against all attacks. Meanwhile, egypt has called for an agent increase in humanitarian aid going into gaza by land, warning that the recent air drops were not sufficient. At the current level, and this is the highest level, there are daily 200 trucks and gaza, this is far below the needs, under normal circumstances, gaza was receiving 600 trucks a day, so we recognize that the numbers of trucks. Are insufficient, there is a long line of trucks waiting to enter, but are subject to the procedures of betting that must be complied to so that the trucks can enter safely, that their drivers are not targeted, that they are received on the other side by the onrow which is distributing the the assistance. Made the comments in a joint press conference with spanish minister Jose Manuel Alvarez in cairo. The egyptian foreign minister said the airdrops are limited in volume and pose danger to the civilians whom they are meant to help. Last week, it dropped eight packages hit people trying to collect them in gaza, leaving several people dead. Egypts top diplomat also said that the israely inspections of all eight shipments at the crossings are the main reason behind the delays at the gaza egypt border. Spains alvarez for his part called for a ceasefire and an end to. The humanitarian catastrophe that is causing the innocent civilian population to suffer. In the occupied west bank, a palestinin man was killed after stabbing three Israeli Settlers in bit khaboot. To further discuss the significance of palestinian retaliatory operations, we were joined by our guests earlier in our news review program. Lets see what they had to say. Its time now for the news review of this bulletin. At least three israels have been injured in an allesh stabbing operation in bet kama, kibuts and occupied palestinian territories. According to the israeli media, one of the injured settlers is in critical condition, and the palestinian man that carry out the operation has been killed. There is no report on the identity of the palestinin man yet. On wednesday, a 15yearold palestinian was killed after allegedly stabbing and wounding two Israeli Settlers a checkpoint outside of algs. The backtoback incident comes in rising israeli crackdown on palestinians during the first days of the holy month of ramadan. Is a palestinian scientist and author joins us from bethlehem. Academic and activist joining us from dublin, welcome to you both saya, were looking at the month of ramadan and um, im curious as to the state of affairs in the west bank, i mean this particular piece of news we had uh involving uh the incident is uh just a little, i guess snipped into how dire the situation is there, maybe you can give us an overview, we know that over 500 palestinians have been killed i think for the month or for the for the year 2024 about 150 or so, but uh what . We looking at when it comes to the occupied west bank uh, yes indeed, the west bank on the break of explosion, theres a lot of people here that are very angry about whats going on in gaza, the starvation, the hunger and all of this, the killings and children, now 27 kids have died in the past week for lack of food, but the west bank also is not to be forgotten, the. Have expanded their destruction, have expanded cleansing palestinians, the soldiers are on the rampage shooting palestinians, preventing us from even getting out of our ghettoes like the best ghetto, you to move to another ghetto or another concentration camp, so trip that used to take an hour now takes several hours, if at all possible. This this and the continued settlement expansions and the approval of the Israeli Government of thousands and thousands of settlement units have made the west bank boiling point. Now comes ramadan of course and we have the first two three days of ramadan and tomorrow is friday, israel is preventing people from getting to blocks almost so people are frustrated and it is not surprising that we see reactions like the one you described . Well as that abu shark when you take a look at the life of uh palestinians in the west bank uh we understand that obviously on the economic side things are very dire, you have all these palestinians who have been barred from working they dont have a permit to work inside the occupied west bank unless they do in the black market and uh as a result you have uh people who are in dire situation there when you take can look at whats happening in the gaza strip, do you think the west bank risks sliding into something similar to that . Yes, indeed, you see, israel is launching war in gaza. To kill and overkill and to children, men women, everybody to get rid of the people, the gather strip, and in the same time israelching a war of ethnic cleansing and the west bank, cantonizing the west bank, killing people, restricting their movement, building, you know, apartite walls, um, humiliating people, put thousands of them in israeli jails, exceprating the land, building more settlements, you see this is this is the the the type of treatment that israel is give to the palestinans, that is the israel on the destruction, destruction of the palestinian the palestinians, wherever they might be in historic palestine, whether they are in jerusalem, in betlan in the west bank in nablus and hebron whatever in the west bank in gaza. In 1948 areas wherever this is the zin project which is beint on the destruction the Palestinian People using psychological warfare using propaganda war, using genocidal war, using ethnic cleansing, using collective punishment, using all sorts of maltreatment against the parastinan people. Unfortunately the whole world is is not doing anything to the palestinans, they are just standing id by, sometimes they are. Issuing statements of condemnation, but they are not taking serious action, they are not imposing for example sanctions on israel, they are not kicking israel from the United Nations organizations, they are not recognizing the right of Self Determination and right to return for palestinian refugees, they are not recognizing our own right to live in honor and dignity in history palestine, thank you very much for that, let me thank our guest, palestinian um. And author uh, talked to us from bethlehem. Palestinian academic and activist from dublin. Thank you to you both. With that become to an end for this news review. Welcome back. The leader of yemensarlah movement vows that operations against israel linked vessels in the red sea will continue with high effectiveness. Abdul malical. And the military operations will continue with rocket firing and the operations where we are targeting the vessels that are linked to the israeli enemy and as well with the implication of the us and the vessels that are for the us and and the uk as well and their aggression against our country, in order to support the israeli enemy, and our operations are also continuing against them, and our targeting is also continuous against them, this is all with god almighty support. Added that yemens operations will further extend to include those vessels that cross the indian ocean towards south africas cape of good hope. He said yemens naval forces have so far targeted 73 vessels in nearby waters, he stressed that the military aggression against yemen by the us and the uk has failed to deter the country from carrying out antiisrael operations and has had no effect on his missile and drone capabilities, elsewhere in his remarks whothy criticized some arab and Muslim States for their inaction in the face of the israeli genocide in gaza. He called on muslims to stand against the regime, which is trying to turn gaza into uninhabitable land for palestinians. What he reaffirmed that is welcome back, the highest ranking jewish politician in the us, chuck schuma, has harshly criticized benjamin natinyahus cabinet calling for new elections in israel. This comes as a rift between washington and tel aviv seem to be widening. If president , Prime Minister netanyahus Current Coalition remains in power after the war begins to wind down and cont continues to pursue dangerous and inflammatory policies that test existing us standards for assistance, then the United States will have no choice, but to play a more active role in shaping israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course. At this critical juncture, i believe new election is the only way to allow for healthy and open Decision Making process about the future of israel. At time when so many israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government, Prime Minister israely Opposition Leader yair lapit has also said that schumers comments show that netanyahu is losing the regimes biggest supporters in the us. On the other end of israels political spectrum, netanyahu has laid into the top us politicians remarks saying israel is not a banana republic. Netan yahu said he is leading a policy that is supported by huge majority of the people. His claims, however, appear to be false as reports point to a growing public distrust in the israeli premier. A Us Intelligence report published on monday has warned about the viability of the netanyahu cabinet saying it may be in japary amid criticisms over his handling of the gaza war. The report also expected more israely rallies, demanding netanyahus resignation and snap elections. Meanwhile, thousands of people in israel protest against the exemptions for ultraorthodox jews from military service and with israels ongoing onslaught on gaza. The protests were mainly aimed against Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his far right ruling coalition. The rallies came after the statements of chief safadek rabbi yityak yoseph earlier this week. Yoseph threatened that Ultra Orthodox Jews will all leave israel. If the regime ends their exemptions from mandatory military enlistment. Since israels founding in 1948 Ultra Orthodox Jews also known as haradim, have been granted permanent exemption from serving in the military. However, after the regime began its offensive in gaza, pressure has increased for ending the exemptions. Last month, the knesset passed the mandatory service bill which intends to integrate ultra orthodox men into the military. The Palestinian Authority, Prime Minister and his cabinet submitted their resignation a couple of weeks ago. Now, news are surfaced, there is a replacement for the job, one approved by the pa president Mahmoud Abbas in our explain a program we took a closer look at the issue. The palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is said to appoint Muhammad Mustafa. As the next Palestinian AuthorityPrime Minister. Now this comes after the former palestinian Prime MinisterMuhammad Shataya resigned from office, paving the way for Muhammad Mustafa. But who is Muhammad Mustafa . Well, mustafa is 69 years old. Hes born intokaram in the west bank. He holds a doctorate economics from George Washington university in the us. He has also worked at the world bank for 15 years. Other notable points of his resume. He has served as pas deput. Prime minister, the economy minister and as abbass economy advisor. Of the close to Mahmoud Abbas, he is not a fata member. Mustafa has also sat on the Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee since the year 2022. Now hes also served as the chairman of the Palestine Investment Fund since 2005. This is important since he oversaw a fund with nearly billion dollars in assets. So thats a lot of money. Why is that important . Not only did he oversaw gazas reconstruction under hamas rule after earlier war between israel and hamas, mustafa will be responsible for overseeing billions of dollars and expected international aid. The introduction of new Prime Minister is part of an effort by Mahmoud Abbas to reform the pa, to create a technocratic government in the west bank. Mustafa himself is widely regarded as an independent technocrat. Hes been holding consultations with respective cabinet members in recent weeks. The members are expected to be a group. Experts in their ministerial fields, so hopefully thatll define that for you. Once the technicatic government is in place, regional stakeholders will be able to move forward with plans to establish interm committee in gaza responsible for providing Civil Services and internal security in the enclave, eventually govern the gaza strip after israels genocidal war against palestinians continues. Well theres some confusion in this stance since Muhammad Mustafa. Has also said in the next phase, what he will do was he would reunite gaza and the west bank. Okay, this is a direct quote, this means gaza on the west bank will be one palestinian land, not separated actually by a border with gaza. Well, the United Government will perform under a reformed governmentts comprised of new Prime Minister, it will be tasked with taking care of arab countries and european donors. Theres also a request for the pa president Mahmoud Abbas to transfer some of his powers. To the Prime Minister, and finally, will Muhammad Mustafa get along with the Israeli Regime . Well, check out this quote if we cannot remove the occupation, no reformed governments can build a Good Governance system. Does it sound like he and the Israeli Regime are on the same page. You be the judge. Iran, china and russia have officially concluded the joint naval drills which were held in the iranian territorial war. In the sea of oman. Our correspondent in the southeastern city of kanarak has more details. Um, there were different operations, it was shooting at night, and then they practice rescue operations, rescuing uh captives in ship stolen by pirates um as well as extinguishing uh a ship that is under fire and uh various other uh lets say operations that are all aimed at uh building more synergy and cooperation between the naval vessels and the navies of iran, china and russia to provide um peace and security in the region. The other thing i have to note is that this is not the last year that iran, china and russia are conducting the the uh this naval trail, the this um particular naval drill, code named Maritime Security belt uh is now in the uh calendar of the navies of the three countries, which means that annually all of them are committed to participating in this particular drill, so the other thing i have to highlight is the um uh open call uh the iranian. Commander um rear admiral sharom irani last night said that uh all regional countries are welcome most welcome to take part in the drills in the coming years as iran sees the regional countries as the true no as truly the ones that are responsible for providing peace and security for the region. Nigerian muslims like millions of others worldwide are fasting in the holy month of ramadan. However, the rising cost of living in the country has caused significant challenges for many nigerian muslims during this fasting period. Press Tv Correspondent don juma abdullahi reports. Ramadan, sacred month in islam, is a month to cultivate selfdiscipline, selfcontrol, sacrifice and empathy for those in need. Breaking of the fight. In the evening known as iftar also fosters a sense of community and sharing as people come together to share a meal. Here in nigeria, many muslims are observing the month of ramadan with fasting while grappling with the economic hardships plaging the country. The niira nigerias currency experienced a historic decline against the dollar in february this year, leading to rampant inflation that has rented. That life exceedingly difficult for many nigerians in ramadan where people need so much food, where people need to have um access to to basic supplies and then you begin to find that prices are exorbitant, um, the food is not even there in the first place, you know, so we have doubleedged inflation, the inflation is such that the money is not there and the food is not there, many people experience hunger before bedtime, making fasting during ramadan a formidable challenge. Experts asserv that there exists a fundamental issue that requires urgent attention. For a country where that is that has a sorry. 40 of the worlds available land, you find that there is no food security, it begs for question, mean it begs for answer, you calls the question, what exactly are agricultural policies are, what are we doing, mean how did we get here, its really uh quite pathetic, religious organizations like the Alhabibiyah Islamic Society have established the food bank, we are muslims donate both money and food to support the less fortunate during ramadan. Dedicated volunteers cook and package meals ensuring that hundreds of impoverished fasting muslims receive a warm meal for iftar in the evening. Our purpose here is to improve lives through the support of allah without most humility and sincere gratitude to the almighty allah, things are now Getting Better for us. Yesterday we provided meals for 2,200 people. On the first day of ramadan it was 1,600. And on the second day it reached 2002, only god knows at the count for today. The Nigerian Government has recognized the food challenge and has moved to address it. This is in addition to other critical measures. Beyond pallatives, experts say the Nigerian Government must have the right mix of fiscal and monetary policies in order to get out of the economic situation. They say more than 60,00 hectares of farmland have been. In Northern Nigeria because of the bandity and kidnapping, the government needs to address the general insecurity in nigeria.
