the suffering people of gaza, the resistance in gaza will not be possible. the aim of the israeli regime in carrying out this particular blackout is so that they can suppress the information coming out of gaza, so that their crimes, their atrocities, their genocide cannot be sent out to the rest of the world, but still the information is at our disposal, so that's their objective, but also, you know, um, crazy regimes like the israeli regime, especially the one led by benjamin netanyahu, does not always even think rationally, even in terms of their own interest, yes, the interest is to obliterate, to flatten gaza, to kill each and every palestinian living in gaza, but the blocking out of communication, they see it as part of that, but they do not understand that this is simply backfiring, it's making the israeli

9:43 am
going on in gaza, you will find a big slogan that there is no tomorrow. all agree that the slowdown in the reconstruction is due to the slow process of transferring funds pledged by the donor countries of the cairo conference, where the anwar received only 270 million, while the required budget is much more. welcome back here you're watching press tv world news. yemenese from all walks of life have gathered in the capital sana and other cities to condemn a move by the us to redesignate the answer movement as a terrorist group. they also reaffirmed their full support for the palestinians of gaza facing israeli genocide. press tv's abdul latif al washali reports. thousands of yemanies have filled the streets of the capital sana. and other major cities to slam the us black listing of the ansarullah movement. the protesters also expressed their

continuous support for the yemen army's operations in the rid sea and gulf of eden. we came here today and 70 uh square to send a big message to the sahoni, israelian, american and british. we have a good weapon to make you under the sea, not under. the yemeni people and the whole world know who america is. it's entire history is full of terrorism, murder, crime, corruption, support for criminals and the production of weapons for more killing. there is nothing clearer than the crimes committed by israel and america in the gaza strip with no less than 240 marters every day, not to mention the wounded and the missing. therefore, for america to classify any group in the world as terrorist is very silly and it cannot be believed by rational person. officials say
9:45 am
the recent us move is in line with washington support for the israeli regime and its atrocities and gaza. they say the us is endangering the region to protect the israeli regime which clearly exemplifies terrorism. it's a great honor for us that the sponsor and the founder of terrorism which has killed countless people around the world and use its atomic bombs in hiroshima nakazaki and kill hundreds of thousands there is the one that classified us as terrorists, but we represent the most honorable position from moral and humanitarian standpoint. america's recent designation is in line with its support for the israeli genocidal war against palestinians in gaza. we stand with palestine and will not back down from this position. in response to the yemeni army's relentless attacks against israeli linked vessels in the rity, the u.s. has announced the redesignation of the ansarullah movement as a terrorist group. the group has been stepping

being the country's capital of gold and for an international gold and jewelry industry fair which has been running for. 70 years, this year's edition has seen a number of anti-israel initiatives organized across the city. on friday, a protest was held in the vicinity of the trade fair premises in protest to tel aviv's massacres against the civilians in gaza, israel, one of the diamond world's leading centers occupied an entire pavilion for its dealers at the jewelry boutique showcase. israel's diamond exports have increased even in the past. masers, even when the regime is committing a genocide against the palestinians. israel's diamonds are drenched in blood. tel aviv steals the precious gems from african countries such as congo, sudan and iwari coast using children as the easiest source of cheap labor. protesters outside vicenza's jewelry industry
9:48 am
fair are saying that most people don't know that the diamond industry is a main source of funding for the israeli. military, they argue that israeli blood diamonds have bankrawled the mass murder of over 24, gazans, since early october, most of whom were women and children. vicenza has been hosting rallys in response to israeli jewelry dealers participating in its international gold fair for nearly two decades. we are against having the israelies at the vichensa gold fair. for everybody and mostly for our city, doing business with a country that is standing before the international court of justice is dishonorable, a country that is committing genocide now as we speak, what's the difference between? also on friday a public assembly was held in central vicenza, the
9:49 am
initiative was attended among the others by italian healthcare workers were in gaza during the bombing carried. out by israel regime in the past months, on saturday, vicenza will also host a rell in solidarity with the besieged palestinians, max chivili, press tv, vicenza. one second here, here we go, pro-palestinian demonstration has been held in austrian capital vienna amed ongoing israely genocide in gaza. our correspondent is asked participants there. what they think of ongoing is really bloodshed and us strikes on yemen? i think um the us's instance and involvement is a disgrese and um not only are they happy to support israel uh both vocally and materially with with weapons and money
9:50 am
and arms, but they're actually now uh preventing yemen or... those countries that are are actively supporting uh palestine or actively trying to preventuh the genocide and i'm very very disappointed in the western politics right now and what they're doing including austria and america and germany and so on and how no matter how many times they uh condone genocide um just for nothing and like on blank papers and as many times as they say that all equal all lives matter equally they show. their true thoughts and their intentions when they start bombing gamen and when they ship bombs to palestine and when mike pance uh science bombs that are going to be deployed and like exploded in gaza and that children are killed with um the recent developments in the middle east and american involvement uh and american imp imperialism in the middle east is very concerning uh particularly the bombing of
9:51 am
yemen um this sort of military strategy of bombing indiscriminately um is a recipe for disaster i don't see anything happening um that will benefit anyone apart from the exacerbation of um more conflict more death. um and continuation of what we're seeing in in gaza at the moment, which is um, the us acting completely irresponsibly in terms of um protecting lives, the safety of civilians. a group of 60 democrats and us house of representatives have urged the government to reject in their words, the forced and permanent displacement of palestinians in gaza. group made the call and letter to the secretary of state, anthony blincan. comments are in reaction to recent figures that show nearly 2 million people are internally displaced in the gaza strip due to the
9:52 am
israeli onslot. that's over 80% of the territory's population and far right israely ministers want many of them permanently expelled. us lawmakers also asked the government to make clarifications on a request to provide over $14 billion dollars in new security and other aid to israel. request is despite. pressure on the government, including from inside congress to halt armed sales to the regime over its brutal campaign in the gaza strip. and the u.s. election season is already in full swing, but with far more dread than hope. many believe there'll be even more turmal this november than in 2020 with widespread concerns about election related violence. roby mazahery has more in the story. the united states election campaign has just officially begun 10 months before going to the voting booth. in iowa, ex-president
9:53 am
donald trump easily won the republican party's kickoff to primary season, but he's still as controversial as ever. many openly claim that his return to the white house would produce civil war, retribution tribunals, dictatorship, and even worse. in new hampshire, a revolt against the democratic national committee means local democrats will soon hold a primary which has been stripped of its delegates. that helps reflect the deep dissatisfaction within the party towards president joe biden. many wonder if the previous elections unprecedented political activism and months of chaos will return. yeah, 2020 was crazy. i hope it's not as intense as that. i think 2024 is going to look like 1968. the parallels are uncanning, chicago convention, etc., etc., i think very good chance biden
9:54 am
will pull out in the first quarter of this year and not be the nominee, so i think anything, anything and everything will happen. with both candidates having such high disapproval ratings and amid such economic, political and military disaster, it's widely expected that both candidates will run. extremely negative campaigns, i'm expecting a brutal campaign, they they're all garbage in in some way or another and uh hope for the best uh for the country. i mean, how i end up voting, i guess is my own particular decision when the time comes, but uh, certainly don't like where the country's at today. biden support for israel's latest war on gaza has deeply angered his critical base of young voters, many muslim. and arab americans have vowed to not cast vote for biden. either group could dip the balance in what polls expect to be the fourth consecutive
9:55 am
presidential election to be decided by less than four and a half points. i think that's that's the cryptonite for joe biden, he's he's screwed up that that uh situation so badly that you know the younger generations turned against him. and i don't see if he continues with his stance on on gaza, i don't see like the younger generation. uh coming back for his his support. the war against gaza will also drastically shape congressional elections. a recent nationwide poll found that voters prefer candidates who support a ceasefire in gaza to those who don't by a whopping two to one margin. ramin mazahari, press tv, chicago. that's a rap for your latest here on press tv. everyone, thanks for joining us. and goodbye for now.
