on the 27th of december 2008, the israeli occupation began one of its many military aggressions against the gaza's trip with an operation called cast lead, while the palestinian resistance chose to call it the battle of al-furqan, and it lasted about 23 days ending on january 19, 2009, known as the day of gaza. the islamic republic of iran commemorates the day of gaza every year as the symbol of resistance of palestinians against the zionist regime. this year, the day of gaza will have very special impact given the genocide gaza is still currently living through as sionist israel gets away with terrorism and aggression yet again. the 2008-2009 war resulted back then in at least 1500 murders including 300 children and

massive destruction of gaza's infrastructure. many palestinian civilians were killed in attacks by high precision weapons which were capable of pinpoint strikes and can hit within a meter of their targets and which have exceptionally good optics allowing those carrying out or directing the strikes to see the targets in detail. hence, as anticipated, zinust israel deliberately targeted civilians. despite its end and the passage of years, the israeli entity leaders were never... held accountable and punished for their crimes against the gaza strip and its residents, despite international and human rights organizations acknowledging in their reports the occurrence of war crimes against civilians, which is why ladies and gents, signist israel opted to continue its genocide against gaza again in 2012, pillar of defense war named shailstones by the resistance, then in 2014, protective edge war named consumed storm by the resistance, then in 2018 and

2019 and saif al-quds 2021 and the unified battlefield 2022 and last but ever so not least al aqsa flood 2023, the largest, most horrifying, ongoing genocide ever to be witnessed in the 21st century, in which zianist israel has so far killed 23,000 civilians, 7 thousands of whom are children. let us clear the air once and for all. no, it did not start on october 7. gaza has been under the most severe siege by zionist militias of the past two decades, and tel aviv under various pretexts took anti-human measures such as cutting off contact with other areas, preventing people from fishing and importing fuel, food and medicine, or is imposing widespread military aggression against gazans. back in 2008, designist regime, which has always been known for break promise and child killing since the...

establishment of its aggressive regime, launched massive airstrikes on gaza on december 27 and used 64 fighter jets and military helicopters and in its first hours more than 100 tons of missiles and bombs were fired at gaza. this time in 2023, during the first five days of the al-aqsa flood in gaza, over a thousand marters rose and more than 500 were injured. today more palestinians were killed and more properties were destroyed. in the 100-day zionist genocidal war that in any previous israeli offensive. this makes the day of gaza this year a of monumental one. welcome to the medy stream, i'm madman. january 19 marks gaza day in iran a day in

which iranians voice their support for the resistance of the people of the gaza strip against the israeli entity hostilities, day of gaza in iran commemorates the resistance of the brave palestinian people during the 22 days of the zionist regime's aggression on the gaza strip in 2008-2009. now this year, gaza day has a special residence giving the ongoing genocide in gaza for 100 days now, taking the lives of at least 23,00 civil. 700 of whom are children under the age of 14. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is mr. saleh abuz, palestinian political commentator, thanks million for being with us, mr. saleh now, as we commemorate day of gaza announced by the islamic republic of iran on january 19, remembering the massacers committed by the zionist entity back in 2009, we witness today the genocide of the century, like other uh right there in the same space.

gaza as we enter uh actually we surpassed 100 days of the zionist aggression already, it's a psychotic war uh of genocide against the palestinian people, but how does remembering massacres that happened 2009? to what what is happening today, i mean, what we witnessed today is a complete genocidal act, how does remembering the past help? there is no doubt that the acts of genocide committed by the israeli occupation against the palestinian people have not seas since 1948. every year witnesses series of massacres perpetrated by israeli forces, settlers and gangs against the palestinian people. 2009 specifically marked the first assault on gaza, starting at the end of 2008 and extending into the beginning of 2009. this attack followed the liberation of gaza in 2005 and was one of the most brutal assaults witnessed in the post liberation period. the occupation did not

stop at the 2008-2009 assault. it continued throughout the previous 15 years with attacks occurring nearly every year or every two years, demonstrating brutal aggression against gaza. without doubt, remember in 2009, we faced a significant increase in palestinian casualties at the hands of designist american death machine. perhaps the main difference in addition to the increased casualties compared to 2009 is that the attacks in 2009, 2012 and 2014 had israeli entity origins overall. as for the year 2023-2024, this prolonged aggression, lasting for more than 100 days. is a zionist american british assault, this implies that zionist israel acts as an executive tool for the united states and to some extent for the arabs receiving support in various forms, especially considering that the missiles and projectiles launched at gaza a predominantly american, british and european. well, mr.

salh after the 2009 war, just like you said, gaza suffered more zinast wars in 2000 and 12 in 2014, 18, 19, 21 with saif al quds and 22, and now 23, 24 as well, however, gaza remains that fast, the resistance proves day after day that it is still strong and it does still have the upper hand in the field in gaza, but 23, human losses, that's not counting those still under the rubble, how is that resilience still effective inside of gaz? we must remember the numbers well, we witnessed 100 thousand victims in the gaza strip, including murders, missing persons and the wounded. when we talk about 100 days, it means we are talking about 10 victims daily at the hands of the israeli entity death

machine against the palestinian people. this is sufficient evidence that zionist israel is committing genocide against the palestinian people. the resilience of the resistance. people can be attributed to several factors: firstly, the palestinian people's faith in their cause, the justice of this issue, and the belief that a price must be paid for the liberation of the land, people and palestinian sanctities. secondly, we cannot ignore the support standing beside the palestinian people, whether from the islamic republic or the resistance access in general. in this war, we observe the diplomatic, political, military and security efforts unified in support of the... palestinian cause by the resistance access led by the islamic republic of iran. we witnessed the actions of the islamic iraq and the northern front ignited by hizballah the following day. we also saw the significant role played by the armed forces in yemen, supported by overwhelming popular support from all

segments of the yemani people. all of this undoubtedly strengthens a steadfastness of the palestinian people. the conviction of the palestinian that the catastrophe in 1940. and the defeat in 1967 will not be repeated and that they will remain resilient on this land regardless of the cost, increases the cost of steadfastness to prevent displacement. in final note, there is a significant alignment between palestinian resistance and the palestinian people. the majority overwhelmingly support the actions of the palestinian resistance, considering themselves a nurturing environment for this resistance. they must persevere until the resistance withstands aggression and fulfill. its duties against zinus israeli attacks on the palestinian people. well, it it gets us to the support that uh the palestinian people should get and are getting from certain uh friends like the islamic republic of iran who intentionally named uh january 19 the day of gaza uh because of its unconditional support

to all the resistance in the region and specifically the palestinian resistance itself uh despite the fact that uh it is being named by the western media and the zionist entity that iran is behind october 7 attacks, iran is behind the uh uh closure of the red sea in front of the uh uh shipments or the ships, designist ships or any shipments going to designist entity, what helped does commemorating? firstly there is no doubt that there are clear stances from the islamic republic of iran represented by supreme leader sayid, in addition to the iranian leadership and the iranian people's popular stands, thus the islamic republic always stands by the palestinian cause and supports it on all levels, but should any state be truly blamed for standing by the victim or... blame fall on those siding with the oppressor, the killer and the criminal committing genocide. october 7th was genuine

palestinian reaction to all the massacres and genocide committed by the zionist israel against the palestinian people. the islamic republic of iran should be thanked by palestinians, arabs, muslims and even nations worldwide for adopting ethical, humane and national stance by standing with the oppressed and the vulnerable. however, blame should be placed on those standing with zionist. which is currently committing genocide, this underscores the credibility of the islamic republic of iran's position, since zionist israel and not the palestinians are being prosecuted in the international court of justice, the palestinian people are the victims in this equation, south africa is globally praised, as is iran and anyone standing on the side of truth for the palestinians. by the way, according to international laws, gaza, the occupied west bank and al quds are considered territories. fired by zionist israel, international law guarantees the right of peoples to self-determination and the right of peoples

to snatch liberation from the fangs of any occupation. now iran, south africa, syria, lebanon and yemen stand on the side of those resisting occupation. blame should be placed on the united states, britain and germany which support genocide and support zionist israel with its killing machinery. certainly what the islamic republic is doing is a commendable. effort from free nations and it should be a blessed and internationally adopted stance. all peoples and all nations should stand by the just palestinian cause. definitely. mr. saleh, palestinian political commentator. thanks million for joining us to talk about day of gaza, which will be held on january 19, especially in the islamic republic of iran. thank you very much for being with us. stay tuned, ladies and gents, because we will be talking about the escalation of the united states and britain on free and sovereign yemen,

the us attempt to persuade the yemenis to allow israel entity ships to recross through the red sea straight appears to be one of the most prominent immediate challenges facing the united states of america, which many in this world classify as a superpower. today, the united states is shocked by the free yemen and it's resilient people, and this is what makes its incitement, threats and blatant and illegal military aggression absolutely useless, no matter the advanced weapon it chooses to use. more details in the following report. the us british aggression on several yemeni provinces under the control

the sanha government last week failed to achieve any military objectives turning into a blatant assault on yemeni sovereignty. these attacks no doubt will have military repercussions that may extend to american bases in the region. sana will be pushed to escalate to the third stage in the red sea where the yemeni armed forces have set their goals to close the sea to commercial ships belonging to countries attacking yemen's territories and national sovereignty. sana wa was aware of the aggression last friday, according to informed sources expecting it to happen about a week ago. however, washington and london waited for the un security council's decision, which us media reported citing diplomats that the united states modified its wording to overcome chinese objections. then both the us and the uk were surprised by the large scale attack launched by yemeny forces last tuesday. ing it an unprecedented insult instead of naming it as it is, a retaliation to the targeting of the

yemeni naval forces which led to the martidum of 10 yemini soldiers the week before the last. the us then resorted to a military aggression utilizing all their media means to propagate misleading information that yemen is targeting international navigation and trade in the red sea rather than merely ships heading to occupy palestine in solidarity with gaza to ensure the genocide stops and much needed. food and aid reaches gaza. hours before the execution of the aggression operation, washington and london addressed their statements to the american and british publics before addressing the yemenes, whom they did not. to exercise caution, ignoring the fact that this people had withstood 270,000 air strikes without yielding to the saudi emirati aggression, acting as proxies for the united states and britain. contrary to the expectations of the latter after the operation, which the us central command stated was carried out using advanced weapons through about 100 air and missile strikes on

several yemini provinces, some of which involved tomahawk missiles launched by submarines. the aggression concluded without achieving. any objectives, this marks the first declared military aggression operation by major powers against yemen, ending in failure and opening the door wide for the yemeny armed forces to respond forcefully and painfully in the coming days and weeks. it is noteworthy that sanad's naval forces initiated a primary response just seven minutes after the strikes, launching a missile attack on us warships in the red sea. following massive popular protests on the same day with the participation of millions of yemenes in response to the aggression, the supreme commander of the armed forces in the sanah government, mahdi mashad, who serves as the head of the supreme political council affirmed in a statement reported by official media that the unjustified american zionist british aggression on yemen is violation of all laws and the countries participating in it will pay a high price. now to discuss this

issue with us from the yemani capital sana. mr. talib al hassani, political commentator. it's a pleasure to have you with us, mr. talib. now, um, sanha has been anticipating a comprehensive western war on yemen, since the first attack it launched against israeli entity navigation in the red sea, specifically ships going to the zionist israeli entity, since that was very clear back then uh for the yemini leadership that there will be some sort of retaliation. by the west, why did they choose to proceed with this plan of theirs? greetings to you and to your esteem viewers, i believe there are three backgrounds for taking this decision, the first background is the religious dimension and religious responsibility, especially given the from the association of

yemen scholars and before that the position of religious background factor in many decisions related to domestic affairs and even foreign policy. the second issue is aligning with the access of resistance within the unity of battlefields in confronting the israeli zionist enemy. this commitment cannot be ignored, particularly in the face of heinous aggression and an unprecedented siege on gaza. the third issue is the popular will, the popular support, the large and confident popular mobilization and internal national unity standing behind the political and military leadership. "there is also military readiness, even if there were other backgrounds without military readiness and military preparedness, i believe there would have been a different stance, but ultimately military readiness is the foundation for this yemeny position, well amid the growing reactions both popular and political inside of of yemen and in the media as well

supporting yemen's closure of navigation against israeli entity and rejection of the..." american and british aggression obviously on yemen, what do you think the upcoming yemeni approach will be in the event that the foreign aggression continues, because we did see it continuing over the past days with the cohesion of the yemani forces despite their national differences. i believe that facing off with the united states and how yemen's response is already predetermined, the nature of yemen's response was defined as outlined by sad abdul malik badriddin althi. response to the threats, the recent military action by the united states and britain, and possibly its continuation, albeit with reduced intensity was preceded by clear threats. therefore, sayid abdul malik baddin al-huthi predetermined the nature of the response, stating that any aggression or attacks on yemen will be met with a direct

military response targeting three arenas. the first arena includes american interests in the region, especially in in the red sea, encompassing various interests. the second arena targets american naval navigation and consequently british navigation as britain is a partner in the military aggression against yemen. this will lead to an expansion of targeting in the red sea, including american and british commercial ships passing through this passage. the third arena includes military ships and naval bases on the african side of the red sea, which are numerous ranging from the djibooti to eritrea, to some islands near somalia. this is the response arena. this will result in many consequences in the red sea, as currently discussed with shipping companies being uneasy about passing through this area. consequently, the united states has failed to achieve its declared primary goal, which is protecting zionist israeli entity ships. zianist israeli ships

are now prohibited from passing and will not pass in the future. the second goal is that america aspires to reduce sanar's military capabilities, which is not possible and cannot be achieved because yemen is in a state of war with a fundamentally different military situation. yemen lacks visible military camps, military bases or visible weapon depots, all these complexities add challenges for the americans. therefore, yemen's response in this significant arena will strike the interests of the united states and britain. the escalating effects in the red sea region have already begun, with the rising cost of maritime shipping and fuel prices increasing due to the disruption of fuel supplies. approximately six million barrels of oil passing through this region. even qatari liquified gas is affected. as four qatari liquified gas carriers have halted passing through this area today, consequently, america has not achieved its objectives, but yemen in return has achieved

many goals, including reducing exports in this region. definitely what you're saying will have a direct military effect on the situation in the region around yeman, but it also will affect the political scene inside of yemen. how do you think that will affect the yemeni saudi peace process? that has been stolled for the past two years, but it is actually there, how will that be affected? certainly, both saudi arabia and american conviction suggest that the war in yemen led by the saudi coalition is not progressing in the direction they desire. halting the war, seasing military operations and partially lifting the blockade were primarily in the interest of both the united states and saudi arabia. therefore, the current escalation has not. this serves as guige for the continuation of negotiations and commitment

to a political solution. ultimately, yemen will not link the political solution to its duties regarding the palestinian cause and gaza. when yemen made the decision related to gaza, there was a conviction that if the political solution were affected, it would not be compromised for the sake of the palestinian cause. in reality, the... be no significant impact, and i believe that the absence of saudi arabia from the coalition formed by the united states, at least officially and explicitly is beneficial for the continuation of the political solution. even if saudi arabia desires to see yemen defeated in this battle, its absence from the coalition is also favorable for the political solution to persist. before the aggression, the united states claimed that a political solution in yemen will be guaranteed, even one better than what yemen aspired. is to achieve if it seas support for palestine, however, this proposition was categorically rejected within yemen, hence the political solution will continue for reasons related to

american interests and the inability to sustain their war against yemen. political commentator all the way from the yemeni capital sana, we thank you very much, we support you, we support your cause, we support your people, victory inshallah for yemen and for. palestine and for the entire resistance access in our region. i want to thank you very much ladies and gents for watching the mediast stream this week with all the developments happening. we promise you to give you always the latest updates uh from the region of west asia right here on press tv. do follow us on twitter x and on telegram and we'll be seeing you again next week on the meast stream.
