5:36 am
we have done everything we can to enact a meaningful humanitarian response. for 138 days, we have watched the systematic obliteration of health. system we have supported for decades, we have watched our patients and our colleagues be killed and mamed. this situation is the culmination of a war israel is waging on the entire population the gaza strip, a war of collective punishment, a war without rules, a war at all costs. the laws and the principles we collectively depend to enable humanitarian assistance are now are now eroded to the... point of becoming meaningless. madam president, the humanitarian response in gaza today is illusion, a convenient illusion that perpetuates narrative that this war is being waged in line with international laws. cause for humanitarian assistance have echoed
5:37 am
across this chamber. yet in gaza, we have less and less every day. less space, less medicine, less food, less water, less safety. no longer speak of humanitarian scale-up, we speak of how to to survive even without the bare minimum. today in gaza to efforts to provide assistance are hap-hazard, opportunistic and entirely inadequate. either you're with us or you're with the enemy? there's no in between, and that doctrine still stands. على كل قرارات الامم المتحده وعلى كل ما تريده الولايات المتحده لكان قد اطيح به كان المفروض عندما يسقطون النظام يسلمون الدوله للمعارضه هم اسقطوا النظام والدوله معا وسلموا المعارضه صراع على السلطه

اول من وجه ضربه للامريكان في العراق هي الفصائل الشيعيه المدعومه من ابو مهدي وحد قسم يك سؤال. بزرگ در مقابل آمریکا ایجاد شد که شما اشغال کردید آمریکا را چی عراق رو چی به دست آوردید حجد ايضا كان عامل جديد غير المعادله لذلك الامريكان اسكن بيده في فتره ترامب جاءوا وقالوا بصراحه هذا انتهى عليكم ان تتخذوا موقف اما معنا او ضدنا. welcome back! a palestinian youth and team have been killed and over dozen others wounded in an israeli air strike in the janin refugee camp in the occupied west bank. according to local sources, the young man killed in the attack was yasir hannun who had served time an israeli jail.
5:39 am
the 17-year-old teen identified as said joradat was wounded critically in the attack and later succum to his injuries. the attack came day after clashes between palestinian fighters and israel troops erupted in janin, israeli forces have repeatedly targeted the city of janin and his refugee camp since the outbreak of the regime's anslot on gaza on october the 7th. over 400 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces and settlers across the west bank since then. the top you when court has held this fourth day of hearings on israel's decades long occupation of palestinian terror. a corresponded in the hag max javille has a report on thursday the international court of justice held its fourth day of hearings on the legal consequences of the israeli occupation of the palestinian territories since 1967. the case
5:40 am
was prompted by the un general assembly in december 2022 when the international organization passed a resolution requesting an advisory opinion from the icj on israel's. policies and practices in the west bank and then east alcuds with focus on the legal consequences arising from depriving the palestinians from self-determination, 52 nations and three organiz sessions, namely the organization of islamic cooperation, the arab league and african union are taking part in the hearings. i think what we are witnessing today is a public trial, country and after country is exposing the evilness of the occupation is showing the tremendous violation of human rights that occupation continues to commit the in and day out, and it's also addressing the inhumane barbaric war that that israel continues to bring upon gaza, iran and china were among those countries addressing the icj hearing on
5:41 am
thursday. the ungar resolution 3070 of 1973. i quote, reaffirms the legitimace of the people struggle for liberation from colonial and the foreign domination and the alien subjucation by all available means. including arm struggle as our supreme leader said, the calamity of gaza is the calamity of humanity and international community as a whole. therefore each and every state and relevant international organization has its own legal and moral responsibility to act urgently and decisively to prevent the ongoing crimes of israeli regime in, outside the court braving the hages called temperature. tens of people from across the netherlands held a demonstration in solidarity with
5:42 am
palestinians. i personally believe that the fact that is, it's not legally binding doesn't matter. i don't think this court case is necessarily going to be the direct reason that the palestinian people will be liberated. i think it will be the pressure on our governments and international community that will hopefully uh make justice prevail. millions of people across the world are watching this case at the international court of justice, they are. hoping that the faith an international law-based system can be finally restored after decades of israel subjecting the palestinians to discrimination, apparatite and deadly military force and evading accountability. max chivili, press tv, the hague. attentions are on the rise in the red sea of the us israel genocide in gaza. israel and its western backers are now feeling the pinch as the yemen continues his attacks on israeli and israel bound ships as well as american and british vessels, we have discussed the
5:43 am
repercussions of yemen's operations with our guests in - in our news review program. let's take a look. now the leader of yemen's law movement says his country will intensify operations in the red. and we will escalate also our operations in this regard as well, we have escalated in quality and in quantity, we have effectively use the rockets and the drones and even the vessels, the naval vessels as well, we have also entered submarines as well, which is something that has confused the enemy. and also terrorize the enemy and also the sea, we have targeted
5:44 am
48 vessels in the red sea and the arab sea, and this is very significant number. abdul malik said, the us is not capable of intercepting newly developed yemini rockets and submarines, he said the us and the uk have failed to limit yemy operations and are surprised of sun's capabilities. he reiterated that san will continue his military operations in the rest sea until israel stops its onslot on gaza and ends the siege on the palestinian territory. the yemani leader also slamed arab states and media for failing to support palestinians. huthy also slammed the arab media for repeating us and british rhetoric against yemen. he once again called on yemeni people to mobilize for another rally in solidarity with palestinians on friday. meanwhile the yemani army spokesman yayosari. explains the country's recent operations in solidarity with palestinians in gaza and in response to
5:45 am
the american british aggression against the country. the yemeni armed forces carried out three specific military operations as follows: the first one, our missile and uav forces fired the number of ballistic missiles and drones at various targets of the designist enemy in ilat, south of occupied palestine. regarding the second operation in the gulf of asia. the yemani army's naval forces conducted an operation against a british ship in the gulf of eden, using a number of suitable naval missiles that directly hit it, causing a fire to break out on the vessel as for the... the third operation, an american destroyer in the red sea was targeted with number of drones. now to talk more on this, we are joined by our very own press tv correspondent yusuf maori from san, and also mr. theo west geopolitical analyst from dallas, texas. gentlemen, welcome to the news review section. mr. west,
5:46 am
let's also talk about the effect is it has had on the israeli economy. there was a report out saying that the... economy had contracted close to uh 20%, how much of that do you think is because of the yemani operations on israeli ports uh or israeli boundships in the red sea and also uh israely economy, the world economy, especially the european economy as well, with regards to the economic situation and its effect upon the zionist apart state of israel, what you have is two-prong approach, you have boycots of products that are sold, american companies, certain american companies are hurting, mcdonald's is hurting because of what the zionist state is doing to the palestinians, starbucks is is hurting because of the same reason, now the other, the second part of that is that you have the shipping in the gulf of aiden, you have that shipping in that
5:47 am
area right there where most of that trade has been disrupted, it is being forced now instead of... going through that little straight there and then going up through the suis canal it is being forced to go all the way around south africa shipping their products around the world, that has jacked up or raised the price of the goods around the world, so it's hurting them. so in the long run, as long as the yemenes stand strong, they win this sit, they win in this situation uh, because for every every defensive... missile that america, britain that they fire at to shoot down hoothy missiles or drones, the the costs are as high as $2 million per missile, and the drones are very inexpensive that are being fired at american and other ships there in the gulf of aden, very, very cheap. so, and america is already bankrupt
5:48 am
anyway, you know, $34 trillion dollars and growing in debt, so you have a situation that over time. over time the little small tiny yemen, they win and to put that into the context of biblical context, it is a david and goliath situation, in this case david is the yemen, they win, that's right, west, before we let go, what could we expect from the yemen army in the future? what do you expect in the coming days? well i think what you what you can what you can expect from from the west and from the us, britain is, i think you're going to start to see a proposal of compromise. there's no way that the us and the west and their coalition naval task fort can maintain and sustain the you know this uh
5:49 am
embargo that's being imposed on them in the red sea and in the gulf of aiden and in babel menda, there's just simply no way just even based on what... we've seen unfold in the past three months and taken into consideration that the yemen's ansarlah houti movement haven't even utilized and employed their their full naval arsenal, i think the us is losing is fighting losing battle and i think we we will we can expect in the coming weeks if not months we can expect the us start to make some compromises, we can expect the us even perhaps their uh you know uh put pressure on from the israeli regime to reach seizfire because us interests are being targeted across the middle east, not just in in yemen, but also in syria, also in iraq, we all we have military activities taken place now in the in the golan heights in syria, and this is, the us hegemonic order is on the
5:50 am
precipice of total, utter collapse if they continue. you to be targeted in the red sea, this is not just a military defeat, this is also moral defeat, this is a public defeat, public diplomacy in the world sees that there is weakness in the us, they see that there's weakness in the british military, and this is something that's very clear for the entire world to see, so i think it's in the best interest of the us and these countries who are allowing the genocide to take place in palestine, the nations. are bombing yemen, i think it's in their best interest to bring an end to the suffering taking place in beseeged gaza sooner rather than later. gentlemen, thank you for your time. mr. yusuf mari, press tv call. corresponder from san ar and also mr. theo west, geopolitical analyst from dallas, texas. gentlemen, thank you for your time, sir. and with that we come to the end of this news review section. thank you for

5:52 am
food chains american roots and linking it to the united states support for israel's onslot on gaza. kfc usko condemn. we condemned kfc as a sponsor of our national cricket event. kfc represents a company with ties to israel, israel is in. in the killing of thousands of innocent men, women and children in gaza. meanwhile, activists are pushing to buycott the event, urging fellow pakistanis to refrain from attending matches in person, and instead watch the games online from the comfort of their homes. the move not only expresses descent but also hits the tournament organizers where it hurts the most, their ticket sales and on ground merchandise purchases. i am part of the boycot movement because i believe it's important to stand up for the people of gaza by watching online, i am not contributing to the ticket sales or on the on ground
5:53 am
merchandise purchases which are the main sources of revenue for the organizers, it's a way of hitting them where it hurts. usually we would go to the ground, but this year i think a lot of even cricket fanatics have chosen not to just because they want to bicon kfc as the main sponsor, but me personally. been skipping a lot of matches as well, you need to show solidarity for gaza and stick with our brothers and sisters, i think that's more important. social media platforms have been flooded with hashtags such as #byordpsl and hashtag #no to kfc, as disollusion fans express their discontant over what they perceive as an endorsement of american policies that they vehemently oppose. the wide spread bicot of an international cricket. tournament by the passionate cricket loving nation of pakistan not only signal solidarity with the people of gaza but also serves as powerful expression of discountent
