Are in dire need of food and they are grappling with the devastating impacts of relentless. And crippling sage. Our correspondent in gaza, lets talk to some of the displaced cousins who described their flight. He was displaced after the israeli of forces attacked our neighborhood. As you can see, we live in these tents made of plastic and fabric. We have nothing eat but some canned food, which is the only thing that we have been eating for roughly six months. We dont even have gas to cook. I have six children and i dont know what to feed them. I have been displaced from the noosirad refugee camp, i have five children, i came from algeria to visit gaza and then the war erupted. I hadnt expected that the situation could be as bad as it is, the situation is beyond catastrophic here, as people can barely find food, especially in this holy month of ramadan. This ramadan is completely different from previous years, my five kids and i have been displaced from gaza. City while my husband is still there, we have no source of food, the amount of food provided by charities is also scarce, were devastated and deprived of our basic needs, i live here with my eight children, our lives are tragic, the situation is getting worse day by day, were struggling to cop with this unbearable condition at the relentless bombardment and blash it, in ramadan we are completely relying on the food provided by donors, sometimes the food is gaza, there are seven of us living here, we are suffering lot, the weather is too cold and there are no gas supplies, because of that, i have to make fire to cook food, most of the time we find no food or milk for the children, they always cry and get sick, the israeli war has destroyed everything in gaza. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has appointed Muhammad Mustafa as the new Prime Minister of the palestinian authority. Mustafa, a us educated economists and former Senior World Bank official replaced muhammad shataya. Three weeks ago, citing the emerging reality in the gaza strip. A correspondent has interviewed some of the palestinians who have describe their views about the newly appointed Prime Minister. We are all palestinians and we are the sons of this country. Anyone who will be in charge of the government is supposed to respond to the demands and hopes of the people, so the issue of bringing some politician to impose policies wont be welcomed. Because we palestinians know very well what we want. For almost 30 years, weve been waiting to have an independent state, but instead we have only moved from a bad situation to a worse. If we get the chance to have an independent state then we may witness better circumstances, otherwise we dont need any governments and lets return to the situation before 1987, before the first intifada, because literally. We are held in a big prison divided into cantons, were really frustrated, we dont expect that there will be any true change, what we are witnessing is a change of the names, there was dr. Hamdalah and then shatiya came, but nothing really has changed except for the politicians in charge. I dont think the coming cabinets will be able to rebuild gaza, its not easy, we have no trust in any arab official whether here or from the arab countries, since what happened in gaza, we have lost hope and. Confidence everyone, to be honest, the majority of people here dont know Muhammad Mustafa, but it said that he is a man with great capabilities, we hope hel be able to form new government and succeed in choosing his ministers. The most important thing for us is to change the Current Situation in every possible aspect. We are in a very tragic and very difficult situation and the task that are assigned to the new Prime Minister on not easy, so if he is not able to mobilize the countries all over the world to stand with us, then people are going to completely lose their trust in the government. This all systematic torture and abusive treatment of palestinian prisoners have claimed the life of another inmate. According to palestinian officials, 26yearold juma abu kanima died in an israely prison after suffering Serious Health condition that required hospitalization. His death brings to 13, the number of prisoners who died in israeli jails due to torture and medical negligence since october 7. In a statement, Palestinian Prisoner Society said israel has significantly increased its torture and systematic medical negligence against palestinian detainees in the past months. Israel keeps over 9,00 palestinians in jails, many of them under the socalled administrative detention. Controversial and internationally condemned policy allows the regime to keep palestinians behind bars for an indefinite period of time without trial. Thousands of israelies have once again rallied in tel aviv to protest against the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his failure to secure the release of captives in gaza. Protesters urged netanyahu to resign and called for Holding Early elections. They vowed to continue their protests until all captives are released. Netanyahu has been in hot water over his handling of the gaza war. Israel has so far failed to release any of the captives by means it has also failed to achieve any of it stated goals of the war. Israel has been the scene of antinetanjahu rallies for months, the israelite premier is embroiled in series of scandals. His charges among others include fraud and the breach of trust in three cases filed in 2019. His Water Resistance movement has launched attacks on several israeli positions near southern lebanon. A correspon says the group seeks to totally destroy Israeli Military post near lebanon. Uh, the first post that was targeted was the albaghdadi post. We also had very uh significant operation against the ramim baracks, where hazbillah launched a burkan rocket. Hazballah seems to be also attempting to completely destroy many of the israeli posts that have been of course put forth since the year 2000 after the israeli withdrawal from south. On and that has been has caused significant damage and destruction to their post and also of course very high cost. We also had an targeting of almalikia post using mortars. Weve heard from the israeli expert, strategy expert and military analyst, Alon Ben David who is talking through the daily mady, he stressed in one of his uh articles that what we are looking at right now in the north, of course theyre calling at the northern. That with not much effort uh, with a little bit of effort, with acceptable cost on their part, from for example, what they have done is actually emptied out the. Northern parts and with the fact that theres no decisions being taken uh by the israelis, it seems that the possibility that many of the settlers who left that area will not actually live in that area any time in the future and this will end any possibility of any settlers living uh in those towns and were talking about the northern occupied palestinian territory that is of course one of the signs that we are looking at secretary generallah spoke about some those signs uh that there is lot of disintegration within the Israeli Society and it is being emptied out, many of them actually threatening and warning that they will be leaving uh the occupied territories that in itself is considered huge achievement for the resistance in lebanon, even for the resistance of course in palestine. Operation took israel off guard, playing the victim, the regime called it an unprovoked attack, but did hamas really attack the. Out of the blue with no good reason, gaza stripped of life soon unpressed tv. Welcome back to the news here on press tv. Israel planes have carried out fresh air strikes on syria targeting damascus countryside. According to the syrian military, the missiles were launched from the direction of the occupied golen heights. It added the countrys air defenses, intercepted and shot down some of the missiles. The offensive resulted in one soldier being injured and some material losses. The israel regime frequently targets the war ravaged arab country, particularly areas in and around damascus. The Syrian Government has on numerous occasions, called on the United Nations to force the Israeli Regime to. Stop its acts of aggression, damascus says assaults are in violation of International Law and are aimed at propping up terrorists. New Palestine Rally has been organized in rome, this as the italian defense minister has confirmed romes arms exports to israel to have continued despite a block announced last year. On saturday, thousands of people. The new rally in the italian capital organized among the others by the movement of the palestinian students and the association the palestinians in italy. The initiative dubbed stop the genocide, also saw the participation of High School Students and families, people at the rally strongly condemned italys unwaving support to the Israeli Regime. Italy that claims to be democratic nation is a country where the government goes. Against the peoples will, prophets always come first even when a genocide is taking place. Im teaching my kids to never give up the fight and to never accept being submitted. The italian defense minister, guido croseto has recently said that rome has continued to export arms to israel despite assurances last year that the government was blocking such sales following tel avivs invasion of the gaza strip. Some italian media reports recently revealed that. But despite the italian governments denials, the value of arms sales to israel more than tripled in december 2023, compared with the same month in 2022, and december last year, was the peak of israeli bombardments on the gaza strip. Western governments have been systematically supporting zionism and israels criminal regime, not withstanding the protest against israels crimes. That have been taking place across the globe, italys support to tel aviv must stop once and for all. Solution to the onslot in gaza could be found if the International Community stopped militarily support in israel. Italy its side has been actively arming israel through companies such leonard and others. If we dont make sure that the palestinians right to selfdetermination is. And nothing will ever change earlier this week, more protests and initiatives in solidarity with the besieged palestinians were held in several italian cities, including milan and naples. Rome, hundreds of austrians have taken to the streets of the capital vienna to once again condemn the usisraely genocide in gaza. Waving palestinian flags, the demonstrators gathered at vienna city center, the demonstration was part of the israeli aparthy week called by the bds movement which promotes boycots against israely products and Multinational Companies that are linked to the regime. Protesters said taking part in the rally was their contribution to solidarity with gaza. They said the European Countries are complicit in israely crimes. They also called for immediate cease fire and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the gaza strip. Our correspondent attended the rally and interviewed some of the demonstrators. Lets see what they have to say. Yeah, we is in here to, we are demonstrating here because today is the 160th day of the genocide. They now propose the new idea of bringing relief supplies to gaza by ship, but i think the real plot is to drive out the people in gaza by ship again like 1948. The second thing is that we are here to say that the genocide and the starvation must stop, aid supplies must be brought in through the land crossings and not by air or ship. The us has the power to demand that from israel. We are also here to demand immediate end to the occupation. Were just as being hijacked by those who control the power and. Um mis representing what we what humans should do, how they should support each other, whether the east, west, north, south doesnt matter, at this particular time is not about west and east, its about to be with just, be with human, and palestine is not for palestinian us, for every human being, is for everyone who suffers in this world, who feels whats human to be. I am here because i am an antifascist, and as an antifascist i have to be an antizionist. And to stand, i have to stand with the Palestinian Resistance for uh the colonization of palestine and we have uh we are unconditionally solid sol solidar with the palestine and palestinian solidarity and if you uh take seriously the claim to decolonize the world and the global south you have to stand with palestine, so i come to these protests because. When i was 14 or 15 um had to introduce the topic of uh you know the the gaza conflict to my class in school, so before we got any of the kind of propaganda that they do teach in schools here, i got to do my own research and did, and i think like anyone who does even a half hour of research on the subject, i very quickly kind of recognized the horrors. And ever since then its been very dear to my heart and now with everything thats happening, im just glad that there are people that are coming every weekend, yeahs government says it has broken this military Cooperation Agreement with the United States calling the accord illegal. The us presence on the territory of the republic of niger is illegal and violates all the constitutional and democratic rules which would require the. Sovereign people, in particular through its elected representatives, to be consulted on the installation of foreign army its territory. Said the government revoked with immediate effect, a military accord that allows military personnel and civilian staff from the Us Department of defense on the soil. Declaration came just day after a senior us delegation left niger following a threeday visit to renew contact between the two countries. Us relations with niger faces challenges after a military coup outed the westernback president in the african country last year. However, the us still stations some 10 troops in niger a desert drone base. Niger has previously severed military ties with his former colonizer france. It forced french troops in the country to withdraw after nearly decade. On the second day of the russian president ial election, voters across the country. Passed their ballots in a process that is all but certain to extend president Vladimir Putins rule by another six years. Voting took place at polling stations across russias 11 time zones, including online balloting in regions that broke away from ukraine and rejoined the russian federation. Around 114 million russians are eligible to vote in this years election, double continue until sunday. In the run up to the vote, putin boasted about battlefield successes in ukraine, where the Russian Troops have recently made gains. He also cited economic growth, saying the countrys economy has proven to be resilient despite western sanctions. Puons victory appears highly probable, as none of the three other candidates in the race is a prominent challenge. The current election marks the eighth president ial election in russia, this will be putins fifth term as president. Earlier we discussed the significance of the russian president ial election with two experts in our news review program. Lets take a listen. Hello and welcome to another edition of the news review. Were joined by harley schlanger, spokesman of the International Schiller institute who is joining us from germany, and also we have don debar, activist and commentator who is joining us from russia, and lets begin with our a guest from russia who can give us more information about exactly what is happening on the ground and also about the three other contenders and if they do. Actually pose a threat to putin or not, please. Um, yeah, first the uh, the polling data shows that the president is very popular, uh, this has been true for number of years where hes been polling favorably from anywhere from 60 to 75 and even higher percent. Um, you now one of the things about a uh democratic process and elections uh is that if you want to maintain power, it is possible to maintain power forever, all you have to do is incredibly good job that makes people happy, and that i think is a part of the uh, a big part of the factor here that people remember how things work. In this country after the yelson years uh when president putin first came to power in 19981999 and they see how things are today and as a visitor uh the changes are not just evident but obvious and certainly for those who live here uh who experienced a change in their condition uh from then until now this is major factor thank you very much now lets bring in our guest from germany uh sir if you could please tell us more, weve heard about number of explosions that have happened in russia, what is your uh take on this . Why would these attacks happen in the first place . Well, first i want to say that i agree with what don said about putins popularity. In the western media, they say that putin will win the election because of suppression of uh killing off his opponents and and uh controlled press. It sounds like actually theyre talking about whats going on. Run in the west. Now the explosions, the the attack in the belgrad district, attacks across the border from ukraine. This is part of an ongoing nato strategy to try to disrupt business as usual in russia. Sanctions, arms, discussion of longrange missiles that can hit russia, all of this is designed to destabilize russia. Thank you very much. Uh, quite interesting, mr. Harley shangler.
