4:36 am
waiting there in a very small space. they don't really have anywhere else to go right now. many of them have followed israeli evacuation orders and fled the fighting areas in northern gaza often with nothing more. and their small children in their arms and the last of their clothes on. these people cannot simply vanish into thin air. if the israeli army work to launch an offensive on rafa under these conditions, it would be humanitarian catastrophe in the making. israel emphasized need to provide safe places and secure corridors to prevent mass civilian casualties. she also call for more border crossings to be open for the delivery. of humanitarian aid and medical supplies to the people of gaza. barbox stress these far is urgently needed in the palestinian territory.

rafa was once safe haven for palestinians fleeing northern gaza strip in the earliest stages of the israeli oneslot. that's when the regime. force the palestinians to evacuate their homes ahead of heavy bombardments. this is the status quo in rafa now. the whole city has turned into a large overcrowded refugee camp. ariel images show how the population in raffa more than quadrupled in matter of few months. most residents are living in temporary structures such as tents and eight organizations have warned of a dire humanitarian situation. food and water. are a scarce and the city's overburdened health infrastructure is on the brink. life in raffa has grown unbearable for people who have been traumatized by the loss their loved ones, destruction of their homes, repeated displacements and the uncertainty of their life in what has become the world's
4:38 am
largest refugee camp, but could it get any worse? this area was supposed to be safe zone, but there is no safety across the entire gaza street. they said ref is safe, so we came here, what else could have brought us here, and now they are bombarding ref, where could we possibly go? just in one instance, around 100 palestinians were killed in israeli air strikes in raffa on february 12th. the city is located in the southernmost part of the gaza strip. it's trapped between egypt and the south, the mediterranean sea in the west, israeli occupied territories in the east and israeli troops in the north. egypt has blocked the border crossing as it doesn't want refugees from gaza. all this emit israel's push for a ground invasion into raffa under the pretext of arresting hamas leaders. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered these israeli army to evacuate
4:39 am
civilians from the city, but where should the palestinians were struck between the devil and the deep blue sea go to? you say they should get out of the way, but you have also admitted in this interview, there is nowhere safe for them to go. because there is nowhere where you can say there will not be air strikes, so and the international community must insist that civilians can be vacated away from areas where hamas is trying to use them as human shields to areas where we have already destroyed we have already destroyed as calls grow for israel to hold back his plan to sold on rafa criticism of tel avi staunches supporter the us has been. mounting, international human rights organizations have warned any further escalation in rafa will have unfathemable ramifications. so far, there's been no signal of an end to the onslot and latest round of truth talks underway in egypt have also proven inconclusive. the united nations has
4:40 am
warned that an israely ground invasion of raffa, which it says is crammed with almost half of the gaza population. could lead to slaughter as millions have taken shelter there, yet news headlines indicate that there is no silver lining for palestinians, especially for those in raffa. the latest round of truth talks among the united states, egypt, israel and qatar in cairo have not born fruit yet. the looming threat of israel's ground invasion of rafa has even spark criticism from tel aviv's european allies, and uh, it really, we think is impossible to to see how you can can fight a war amongst these people, there's nowhere for them to go, uh, they can't go south into egypt, they can't go north in back to their homes, because many have been destroyed, so... "we are very concerned about the situation and we want israel to stop and think very seriously before it takes any
4:41 am
further action. however, the european allies of israel have not a stopped there and even blame the main supporter of tel aviv for the unfolding crisis in gaza. how many times have you heard the most prominent leaders and foreign ministers around the world saying too many people are being killed? president said this is too much on the top. not proportional, well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms. this is not the first time washington has been censured for its involvement in the killing of innocent palestinians. the us is key military backer of israel and has repeatedly vetoed security council resolutions calling for a cease fire in gaza. on tuesday, senate passed another foreignate package that includes 14. billion dollars for israel's genocidal onslot on the gaza strip. this comment by president joe

genocide in gaza stops. truce talks in cairo. to achieve any breakthroughs as calls continue for israel to avoid a full-fledged attack on the gaza city of rafa. we discussed this earlier with our guests in our news review program. it's time now for the news review of this bulletin. in the egyptian capital cairo, negotiations are underway to bring more than four months of the us-israely genocide in gaza to halt. the... hamas says it has sent a delegation to kaira to meet with the egyptian and qatari mediators. the turkish president rajubon has also arrived in kairo for talks with president abdul fattah assisi. the heads of israel's spy agencies musad and shinbet sat down with us, egyptian and qatari representatives on tuesday to secure a cease fire deal. no significant breakthrough has been achieved in
4:47 am
negotiations that are said to take another three days. israely media has revealed that prime minister benjamin netanyahu is opposed. the proposal put forward by spy chiefs a deal. hamas has accused netanyahu of trying to buy time to pursue his own agenda while proposing a seizfire. hamas wants a full halt to israely strikes, troop withdraw and prisoners swap among other conditions. jim kas a political analyst and blogger joining us from new york. we also is a journalist and commentator joining us from beiroth. there was this first proposal just a couple weeks. back, i believe, a three-stage one of which hamas had given an initial green light so to speak, but there were some terms that it revised and then sent was sent to israel of which the prime minister netanyahu rejected, now we don't know about what has happened in the past 48 hours in terms of what was on the table, but there must have been some kind of
4:48 am
reason for this to want to be continued, what do you think uh about the whole thing anyways when you have such... divergent views, for example, hamas has said, we want all the regime forces out of the gaza strip, that's just one of them. okay, first of all, we have also to mention that the the aggression is led currently against the people of gaza, is led and launched by by the us, and the the decision of the war and stopping the war or continuing the war is... is the decision uh is the decision of the american administration, so as we are reaching the point of the presidential elections in the united states, the united states, especially biden is trying to pressure netanyahu and the zionist regime into stopping this genocide uh
4:49 am
in order because we know that the this is attempt to... burnish the the bloody image of the us after they have committed, they have killed more than uh roughly 2800 palestinian civilians in the gaza strip and after the clear failure of the zionist appartite regime to to achieve any of its aims or goals of this aggression. they have failed to free any theirs of their uh, they have failed to free their their prisoners from the uh from the palestinian resistance and they have failed to weaken the the the palestinian resistance, we have seen how the people of gaza stand side by side with their resistance and have
4:50 am
rejected the the the american and design decision to ' to replace them and to uh excel them to sanai. we're looking at these talks uh, is i'm going to call it round two, because round one netanyahu came and flatout rejected it uh, he's still rejecting it uh, but we're not sure what he's rejecting this time around, exactly, because uh, when there are such differences in the core issues, um, we can name, we can name number of them, um, it's still a wonder why it is that they're even having these talks in the first place. what's your view on this? uh, but you, i think it's kabuki theater, i think this is being done for the benefit of the arab states, for the benefit of the american public and the european public, and and the... they have to pretend there something is possible here that side steps all, as you say, all the fundamental issues that are there, but israel is saying very clearly,
4:51 am
they're going for complete victory in in in gaza, they're not going to get complete victory, look everybody knows and everybody should know, and not be fooled, this is not about the the struggle between the fight between hamas and israel, whether it goes after batalians of hamas fighters in in raffa, they are after killing and expelling. as many palestinians as they want, okay? the fight with hamas and that's all going on, that's important, but it doesn't determine what whether or not the palestine, where the palestinians are going to be in gaza, are going to be in six months or three months or year, and israel wants to invade gaza in order to to force the palestinians to flee, to force egypt to open its border, to force other countries to take them, they're sitting there saying, watch us, we're killing everybody in gaza until you let them go, until you take them away, we're not going to stop, so and is saying we want israel to get out of gaza, israeli army not to control gaza anymore, and israel is saying, that's not going to happen, we are going to continue as
4:52 am
we have, have veto power over everything that happens in gaza, and the americans are completely behind israel, and this will not stop until some military force challenges israel, says, egypt can open his border, say we're bringing humanitarian in, and we're not allowing you to stop us, want to have an armed conflict, we'll have an armed conflict, somebody else can do that, but until that happens is... is going to continue killing gazons until they trying to create a situation, the world is forced to take them out. the spain and ireland have demand the european union launch an urgent probe in israel's actions in the besieg gauza strip. it said the eu must ascertain if the regime is complying with its human rights obligations under an accord with the block. now request came in a letter e commissioned by spanish prime minister pedro sanchez and his irish counterpart leo veradcar. they asked the eu to take appropriate measures of israel found be violating its agreements with
4:53 am
the block. now accord demands israel respect the principles of human rights and democracy as an essential element of the block's trade ties with the regime. the unprecedented move raises the possibility of the eu imposing economic sanctions against tel aviv. spain's foreign minister jose manuel albares also said no license to export. weapons to israel has been approved by its country since october 7th, and none will be as long as the onslot on gaza continues. yes double down our stance and supporting innocent people of palestine have been under israel's genocidal attacks. yemeny minister of information stressed yemen's naval operations in the red sea will continue unebated until gaza genocide ends. abdullatif alwashali reports. in a press conference in the yemani capitals shami spokes person for the yemani government and minister of information once again
4:54 am
reiterated yemen stance that the u.s. presence in the red sea and gulf of eden poses a real threat to international maritime navigation by militarizing international waters. ashami stated that washington's presence under the predicts of protecting israeli vessels provokes the yemeni army to continue its naval operations. america is the source of real threats to navigation in the red sea and the gulf of aiden and the presence of its forces that came from a distance of 9,000 miles to launch an aggression against yemen under false and bolatant justifications. they are to protect the ships of the israeli entity and support it economically and militarily and have nothing to do with securing international navigationy added that the us and uk they have launched over 400 air strikes against the united territories, resulting in the deaths of more than 40 soldiers. he asserted that neither western aggression nor the us
4:55 am
designation of ansarullah as a terrorist group will hold human's naval operations in support of palestinians. the american designation of the ansera movement as a terrorist group is ironic. how can a terrorist classify those who defend themselves and their causes as terrorists? this designation shows us no. longer has any steps to take to stop yemeny operations in support of palestine, this classification will not affect yemen's military operations, but maybe a provocation for greater escalation. earlier, the leader of the ansarullah movement, abdul malik al hothi said that no israeli linked vessel has sailed through the red sea in the past weeks describing this as major victory. he accused the us and uk of being the real terrorists for assisting the israeli regime in committing war crimes against the innocent. people of the gaza strap, yemen's official is clear, the yemen army rifle operations will continue until the israeli war against, official say the united states designation of
