added the international community has a responsibility to hold the us and the uk to account. meanwhile hamas is moving warned that the attacks will plunge the region into further termoil. the islamic jihad movement also holds the us responsible for the repercussions of the attacks on yemen. a funeral has been held in the iraqi capital. for those killed in recent us strikes on the country, morers to the streets to commemorate the loss of their fellow countryman and condemn washington's military aggression against their country. at least 16 people were killed and more than two dozen wounded in the us rates that targeted both civilian and security areas. the head of iraq's popular mobilization forces has condemned the strikes. this incident will not go unnoticed because it represents a brazen attack on the popular mobilization forces and its

administrative and logistic basis and anything that is connected to or represents it. the popular mobilization forces chief urged the iraki government to do whatever it can safeguard the country's sovereignty and dignity. he said iraq sovereignty cannot be secured unless foreign forces leave. the us and the uk attacks on iraq have drawn. from condemnation, hamas also slamed the attacks saying that they would escalate tensions in the region. mean time head of iraq's batter organization, attended the funeral procession in baghdad, as called for the expulsion of us forces from iraq. the time has come to expel, not the exit, but the expulsion of the americans and the... have to leave, the presence is absolute evil for the iraqi people and will mean more iraqi bloodshed and

more sacrifices of the iraki youths. now is the time for them to leave and the parliament has to say its word: if it doesn't defend the iraqi people, then they're not representative the iraqi people. the parliament is needed. the political powers are required to have an honorable stance to end and to expel these forces with no scheduling. scheduling and talks are waste of time. which will mean more iraqi bloodshed. now israel has a stepped up air strikes on rafa the southern most city in the gaza strip killing a large number of palestinians there, including children sheltered in the kindergarten, the regime says that the military offensive will continue, despite the humanitarian crisis and international condemnations. in our news review program we've discussed situation in the city. it's a goodbye for me, i'll be back with the news in brief few minutes after this.

it's time now for the news review of this bulletin. palestinian officials have blasted the international community's failure to stop the israelite onslaught and the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in gaza. palestine's foreign ministry warned against the possible israeli military operation in the city of ruffa in south of gaza. the ministry said an aggression of the city would either lead to the annihilation of about 1.5 million palest. or would result in their displacement. the warning came in reaction to comments made by israely military affairs minister. he had earlier said that the israel army would turn its focus on raffaa along the border with egypt. is a professor of political science at university. we also have says a journalist

and political commentator joining us from london. gentlemen, welcome to you both. i'll start with you first, taking a look at the focus of what appears to be the israeli regime and that is the area of rafa. um, it uh appears that they want again uh the misleading notion of wanting palestinians to go to that area, which many are now there and there's a concentration of palestinians there, but there could be as it has been the aggression against them uh of which it involves bombing and what have you. uh, what is the game plan that you the regime forces have when it comes to wanting the palestinians to go to that area. good evening to you and all your viewers, well since the beginning of the land invasion by the israeli troops, they moved the people from north of of gaza to the central of gaza khan unis and

and now the the fighting is over there and people are asked to move again to rafa. and the end result is rafah is a small city, but now we are talking about more than one 1.5 million people who are living there, some of them had moved or displaced at least twice or three times from north of gaza to the central and then to further to the south. now all these people are crowded in in rafah with very bad conditions, and yet the israeli now plans is to bomb rafah. and especially the area with borders with egypt, what they called usually is the philadelphia axel or area which is alongside the borders between gaza and egypt. the idea for the israeli army saying that there are many tunnels duck by the palestinian resistance to egypt and

through those tunnels usually they smuggle the weapon and or... so some rockets and all other kinds of military equipments needed by the palestinian resistance in gaza, it was smuggled through these tunnels in from egypt and the idea for the israeli army is to conquer this area and to occupy this area and to install some kind of wall or something like that as they said to prevent all these tunnels from moving to egypt "the problem is that egypt is contradicting to this kind of of thing, because it's first of all violating the peace treaty between egypt and israel on the one hand, and on the other hand it means that the israel now are controlling this kind of border directly with with egypt, now to to

apply this kind of plan, they needed to first of all to do huge bombardments to..." all the area north of rafah, south of rafah, sorry, in order to prepare for the israeli troops to come in, which means more and more catastrophe and more war crimes and really annation of the palestinian people in this area, we are talking about 1.5 million who had nowhere to go at all now, and most of them now are living in in tents which was made by plastic or or whatever they lay their hands on, and if they started these bombardments, it will be, sorry, it will be catastrophic, okay, for the people in in in in. all right, uh, this uh philadelphia corner, saying abbas that uh, our guest talked about uh, when the notion was brought about a weeks ago uh by israel, they wanted

to take control of that area, which in essence would then uh completely shut off the gaza strip from the outside world, because they control obviously the other parts and obviously they're confined to a complete siege, um, this kind of goes against that this not kind of, but it goes against what is reported uh, with israel regarding this latest uh truth, which it doesn't seem like hamas has agreed to it, they may me, they may be in agreement with some parts of it, but obviously not all of it based on the most recent statements especially coming from osama hamdan uh, the hamas rep in beirot and lebanon yesterday, what do you make of the contradiction, i should say, well it's not, this is for msan abbas, i'm sorry sad number, go ahead mosan abbas, say mosan abbas, well i i say that um partly it could well reflect a split within the american israeli camp, of course, both israel and america are longstanding uh commit committers of ethnic

cleansing, the american entire state was built on ethnically cleansing native americans of course and israel too, so they have a great brotherhood in this regard for genocide and ethnic and gallon, you mentioned is launching this new this new... new genocidal campaign on raffa, he has openly said that he essentially wants to ethnic lens and and wipe out palestinians, he said it several times, that that's a dehumanizing language which has been going on uh since before october the 7th, but it's been especially prevalent since october the 7th where it's become obvious that the likes of uh smodrich and gallant and and the various other um crypto fascists really um is... the zionist uh fascists, they are genocidal fascis and they've actually committed to the idea of of destroying uh the palestinian people, not just hamas. hamas is just excuse.

so making a peace treaty with hamas on the one side and on the other side having this uh this kind of commitment to ethnic cleans and and genocide palestinians is kind of it's indicative of the the pathological nature of israel and america to be honest uh they have psychotic elites, you've got to understand these people are sick, they openly dehumanize the palestinians because they wanted to then carry on with this absolutely genocidal sweep across across gaza. professor of political science university. thank you, journalist and political commentator from london for this edition of the news review, thanks for tuning in. crisis, devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, us
