last week, the second edition of the paris meeting took place in the french capital attended by representatives from zainast israel, the united states, egypt and qatar, with the aim of solidifying the negotiating framework that will guide the indirect negotiations between the palestinian resistance. hamas and the israeli entity, however, after the israeli entity signed backtracked from what was agreed upon in paris previously under the direction and pressure of prime minister benjamin netanyahu who prevented his negotiating team from returning to cairo to continue the talks and had stripped them of their powers delegating his special advisor instead. this made it clear that no one can trust the commitment of the occupation even to what it and the mediators would agree upon in paris to... it

is evident that the us administration exerted strong pressure on the israeli regime, specifically on netanyahu to push for the meeting and attempt to reach deal in the coming weeks. americans and other mediators are striving to finalize an exchange agreement and a temporary cease fire before the onset of the holy month of ramadan in about two weeks. they believe that they continued fighting during the fasting month along with the anticipated restrictions imposed on palestinians in the west bank and the occupied territories regarding access. to the al-aqsa mosk would constitute the perfect recipe for significant and comprehensive escalation within occupied palestine as a whole and even in the region, given that the holy month of ramadan has typically witnessed clear security escalations in recent years. it has now become clear that the israeli occupation seeks to close the file of captives in order to resume its field operations, relieved from the pressure of this issue, which burdens the israeli entity decision maker and does not grant him wind maneuvering more. whether in combat or at the

negotiating table, however, on the other hand, hamas realizes that this issue is one of the most influential factors on the israeli entity leadership and its performance in the war, which means that hamas will not rush to abandon it unless what it gets in return is no less than an agreement a cease fire. however, netanyahu remains adamant against any formula that includes a long-term truth or a temporary cessation of hostilities for long months, as it seems that he has... not yet made a real decision whether or not to invade rafah. in related context, egyptian sources informed the wall street journal that hamas is ready to agree to the israeli occupations release of 30 palestinian detaines during the exchange deal, but the sign of soldiers captives will remain with the palestinian resistance until a permanent agreement is reached for a comprehensive ceasefire. welcome to the medi stream, i'm madman. it seems

that the decision regarding the rafah operation is still pending, not only due to field related reasons, as the attack on rafah requires different and more complicated preparations than what happened in other areas, but also because the situation there is contingent upon the positions of other parties in the war, whether they are partners designist israel or may be mediators who at this stage refuse any attack on city of rafah of and prefer negotiated path to end the fighting, i'll be it under different names, through and relatively improved prisoner swap deal. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is dr. omar nashebe, political analyst and lawyer expert in human rights, supervisor of the alqaus supplement, which is published weekly with the lebanese newspaper alakhbar. thank you very much for being with us. dr. omar, now as talks are underway in paris and possibly as reuters said the other day that they might continue in qatar. but does the

israel regime really seek to maybe end his captives file where the pressure would be released from there uh and then continue his military campaign inside of gaza with uh more intensity or is it really very tense situation internally for netanyahu that the zianist entity has to be pushed into stopping this aggression, this genocidal aggression against gaza? yes, well now for more than 140 days the uh "the genocide in ghazza is ongoing, the israeli army has been killing people on constantly since more than 1040 days using more than 60,000 tons of explosives and bombs thrown at an area that is not much larger than 360 square kilometers where 200 two million people are squeezed in this area and now they're squeezed even more in a 50 square kilometer zone near rafah near the egyptian border where the nathanial" and

the israelis are threatening and and they are bombing, they are bombing rafah, last night they bombed rafah, they killed every day they're killing around 100, 150 civilians in the rafa area, they... want to do a full invasion there, and well, they're using this in the negotiations, and that's so unethical, you know, you don't go to negotiations and threaten people, threaten civilians with massacers in order to improve the conditions in the negotiations, this is total outrage, i mean, this is what netanyahu's government has been doing, they've been putting on the table, you know, they want to win time, so they want to delay these negotiations as much as possible, while they spill the blood of innocent civilians and in rafah and continue to destroy every possible means of life in in in gaza and in in in rafah more specifically now, this is outrageous, i mean the negotiations were supposed to be over four different areas, first the exchange of the

prisoners, second the cease fire sessation of hostilities and bombing of civilian infrastructure, civilian civilian hospitals, everything that has to do with life in gaza. and fourth you know the removal, the withdrawal of the israeli army from the northern part and from parts of gaza so people can return home you know and and and and and you know and there is no way that the palestinians will accept that the israelies create buffer zones, in fact the americans, even the americans said that they will not accept the buffer zone issue, and the last thing is the return of the people to their homes and the start of the reconstruction, where is all that in the negotiations, they all they only want the hostages the the prisoner exchange, for the prisoner exchange, okay, the palestinians were ready to actually offer saying, okay, fine, we will accept, we will we will accept to discuss the actual swap one israeli to 10, 10 palestinians, however there is no agreement over the names,

because the the the palestinians you know have in mind a list of names of people that netanyahu is not ready to actually release and exchange, and that is also... but the biggest obstacle, i have to tell you, marwa, the biggest obstacle is the issue of cease fire and permanent cease fire, because every time there was a deal and in the previous time when there was the exchange of prisoners, the israelis intensified the bombardment and intensified the arrests of innocent palestinians, so what is the this exchange about? if every time we do the exchange, the israeli army goes into the west bank and in ghaza and arrests thousands of people definitely. because i want to discuss with you the requests by the palestinian resistance hamas who said that they are ready to exchange the captives, the israeli captives they have uh with uh 3,00 palestinies from israely entity prisons, but uh and they want to keep the soldier captives with them in order to ensure that the

ceasefire would will happen. now whether or not this happens that's not what we want to discuss in the event it actually happens, let's say it does actually happen, what kind of... proof does the palestinian side have that the zionist entity won't just start a new unforeseeable attack against resident the residence areas in gaza. now this this the the massacre and the the genocide, the israeli genocide has been going on now for more than five months, so uh let's let's go back to the beginning when hamas actually from the beginning and there's nothing new, they said all all of the prisoners for all of the prisoners, you know, okay, so we want to to the exchange of the actual civilians and people who were guests as hamas called them, and there was this exchange hamas and the islamic jihad, and there was this operation in the past, today what hamas is saying,

okay, there is on the table a proposition that ratio of one to 10, one israeli for every time, but that only applies for 35. the prisoners, not of the 135, if there would be a general deal for the the full number of prisoners, i think that hamas and the islamic jihad have said before that they are ready for this exchange, all of the prisoners in the israeli concentration camps and prisons for all of the prisoners that are the captives of hamas and their resistance and the islamic, that that that could be deal, but what guarantees of? there are no guarantees, there are no guarantees, but if hamas gets this deal, it's it's it's a big victory, it's an important victory, but the israelis should know that hamas and the islamic jihad did this proposal from the beginning, it is netanyahu who made them go

more into war and and do more bloodshed and more massacres and more destruction and more complicate and complicating issues and complicating any path towards the minimum agreement that... would stop stop this genocide, definitely, because to be honest with you, dr. nashebe, the zianist entity propaganda concerning the ground invasion of raffa has been severe for the past uh month at least. but especially for the past two weeks, but let's say netanyahu actually achieves what he wants from uh any upcoming peace talk or any upcoming negotiating talk, let's say an agreement that might see the withdrawal of the captive of the the captives of design, but excuse me to interrupt you, i have to say that i think that you know the media, the israeli media and the talk about rafah is blackmailing, it's to blackmail the americans and the issue, you say it's to blackmail the americans, but if what netanyahu wants happen. will he suffice with what he has done so far in gaza or has the decision to invade rafah been taken? i'm i

think that netanyahu has the whole will to actually destroy what's left and kill what's left of the innocent civilians that are trapped in in rafa, however, and he knows that the americans don't want him to do that, so he keeps talking about this in order to blackmail and to put more pressure on the international community and find justifications, and he thinks and he said it, in fact, he said that the... more we threaten with blood, the blood of children and the blood of and that would improve the actual stance of the israelies on the negotiation negotiating table as we said in the beginning, and that's completely unethical and unacceptable in any negotiation process, you don't threaten with the blood of women and children and hospitals in order to improve the conditions and the negotiations, that is completely against international humanitarian law, well within the norms that is... happening right now and within the history that we know the zionist entity, dr. nashebe, no one really trusts the zionist

entity and apparently not even their allies trust them anymore, but i want to really thank you very much for being with with us this morning in beirot, dr. amar nashebe, political analyst and lawyer, expert in human rights, supervisor of the al-qaus supplement which you can find published weekly with the lebanese newspaperbar and i do advise you to follow because it's a really very important supplement, thank you dr. nashibe for being with us, ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we're going to talk about yemen, how they are adomant. yemenese are adomant on supporting the people of palestine and they not will not stop until the zionist entity stops his genocidal war on gaza. "the naval forces of san'ah continue to flexibly execute their operations in the red

sea, the arabian sea and the gulf of aden, while they persist in surprising the american and british navies, following each operation that threatens the american and british vessels, the ladder navies deploy swarms of drones and wall planes to patrol the international waters, to protect the vessels and destroyers from yemeny drone attacks, then carry out attacks on areas that have been already targeted before. meaning they have no real targets there. more details in the following report. events and developments are rapidly unfolding at the levels of direct confrontation between yemen on one side and the united states and its allies and proxy armies on the other. us and british navy are intentionally conceiling many facts about the almost daily operations carried out by the yemany naval forces against their ships in the red sea and the gulf of aiden in support the palestinian. resistance in gaza. although the us fifth fleet based in bahrain recently acknowledged the difficulty of confronting

the yemani side, it did not address the strikes that targeted american ships and destroyers. conversely, military experts in san'a affirmed to press tv that there are escalating military operations against american and british military ships and warships. this reality has become evident to the united states which has acknowledged facing its biggest challenge since world war ii with 7,00 american soldiers at see experiencing fatigue and exhaustion after more than four months of confrontation without adequate rest or leave, they were caught off guard by the military capabilities of sanah, including its large stockpile of missiles and drones with advanced features capable of bypassing major defense systems and reaching the closest level in the defense system, as reported by the financial times citing lisa franciti, the commander of the us navy. recently, admiral brad cooper, the... commander of the us navy in the middle east admitted in an interview to cbs's 60 minutes

that their forces in the red sea, gulf of aiden and the arabian sea are operating a combat tempo unseen since world war ii. he stated that their military ships are under attack with only 9 to 15 seconds to decide to intercept missiles traveling at speeds of up to 3000 miles per hour, acknowledging the military superiority of yemen. the second truth confirming the unprecedented quagmy. for the united states and a highly costly war of attrition is cooper's admission of the us navy launching about 100 missiles from its standard land to air missiles each costing about 4 million us. dollars against yemeny missiles or drones worth only thousands of dollars. this means that the united states of america spent nearly half billion dollars on the cost of intercepting missiles alone. not to mention the cost of air strikes and tomahawk missiles launched at yemani land, operational expenses for about 7,00 american fighters, surveillance, reconnaissance and satellite costs with the zero results as

underscored by sayid abdul malik baddin hothi in his speech last week. meanwhile yemani strategy. operations continue to escalate significantly, effectively and tangibly, breaking the backbone of the israeli entity economy, and it seems it won't seize as long as the palestinian blood continues to flow, and tears of children and women continue to shed. it is a commitment that has been affirmed by the yemini leadership, and they will continue to adhere to it until the israeli entity genocidal war stops and water, food and medicine are delivered to gaza. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is mr. hamzi khansa, journalist and political analyst. thanks to million for being with us. mr. hamza, now after its failure at the red sea, we see that washington has resorted to classifying the yemeny resistance movement ansarullah as a terrorist entity, only to realize that such classification is just futile, it's nonsense. ansara possessed no assets or financial exchanges neither in

washington or any other capital in the atlantic for that matter. additionally, sana is not inclined to retreat from its support that it has already declared uh as the operations in support of the people of gaza, but what is next right now on the u.s. agenda concerning this issue in dealing with this unprecedented threat that they are facing in the red sea the arabian sea and the gulf of aiden. regarding the united states, there is a quasy paralysis in dealing with what it perceives as threats directed at it and its allies by ansarah, especially since the beginning of this confrontation that has been going on since 2015 when saudi arabia declared what it called operation decisive storm to change the reality in yemen, much like netanyahu attempting to change reality in gaza. however, in yemen they dealt with a force that was a big surprise to them after

nine years of continuous aggression and blockade. today we have a version of... that runs a state with its security, social, economic and cultural apparatuses and conducts a real strategic supporting war in the red sea and the arabian gulf, imposing serious blockade on the israeli occupation entity and preventing ships from heading towards its ports. this is the result of 10 years of saudi supported american and british aggression and blockade. today the united states opted to designate the ansar allah movement as a terrorist. organization as it had previously classified it years ago, but then retracted. today they resort to the same defeated tools, just as their targeting of the yemani people themselves within yemani territory indicates that they have no clear objective, because these are the same targets that amirati and saudi war planes targeted over nine years of war on yemen. through our

experience in understanding how ansar allah deals with reality, we have found that ansar allah... does not deviate from the policies it adopts and does not calculate political considerations like neighboring countries do, or like mercenary movements in what was called the arab spring, which were characterized by rushing towards private interests instead of paying attention to national interests and the interests of the nation as a whole. for example, ansar allah did not use the red sea card throughout the years of the saudi american war on it, but today it only uses it in support. we did hear uh the admiral brad cooper, he admitted as you just said that the us forces in the red sea in the gulf of haiden in the arabian sea they are operating at what he

said and i quote a combat temple unseen since world war ii, one might listen to that and think well... and the us had any wars since then, but yes they did, but they haven't had had this kind of resistance maybe since then. meanwhile, the yemeny armed forces say that they are just using their old stock pile, they are not even using their new weapons yet, and uh, they are, they are they are keeping that uh full power for for maybe later, but how clos close is this uh confrontation to uh maybe an all-out explosion not only in the red sea but in the entire arabian peninsula. their operations are in support of the palestinian people and resistance. therefore, the cessation of operations is directly linked to holding aggression on gaza and lifting the siege on

the palestinian people. another condition was later added, which is when the americans, along with the british, launched aggression on yemen to try to alleviate pressure on the israeli occupation entity and attempt to impose us hegemony and control over the world through the red sea. another condition was added, which is the cessation of american aggression on yemen, and linking the level of yemeni escalation to the level of american aggression on yemen. as we saw last week, the yemeny attack with ballistic missiles and drones in a manner that the americans are not used to an area where washington has long considered itself the decision maker and dominant force, and this is the advantage the amenees have today, that they openly and aggressively confront the united states. "this is because the nine years of saudi emirati aggression on yemen have prepared the amenes themselves and their missile arsenal, naval mines and unman aerial weapons for a battle suitable for the geographical nature

and nature of this enemy, there's another kind of threat that we have seen the us and british intelligence used in syria for example or in lebanon for that matter is the security apparatus threats by the yemeny minister of interior and the..." inteligence security agency which revealed them firing very malicious scheme sponsored by the united states of america and britain to mobilize terrorist organizations like al-qaeda and uh isis from albida to carry out assassinations and bombing uh campaigns in residential areas in sanha and other several provinces as well. would you think that would be enough to alleviate maybe the pressure on the yemeni naval operations in the red sea make them stop or at least push it to uh halt. at least this operations in support of gaza? in the recent period, we witnessed how the saudis, emirates, americans and the broad coalition formed to fight yemen, have tried all recipes

to break yemen, from assassinations and massacers to mobilizing takfiri groups similar to what happened in iraq and syria in most of yamen's provinces. they even funded and continue to fund separatist movements calling for the separation of southern yemen from the north and eastern yemen from. in the west, and speaking of new regions such as hadramut, where separatists have long demanded independence from yemen. all these attempts were aimed at inciting discord in yemen, in addition to the actual places that the united states, britain, and even the israeli occupation entity occupy strategically in yemani islands and areas, but all these attempts were defeated by the yeminis, and today we see the urgent need to complete the liberation operations to expel the occupying forces from. yemeni territory. today there is talk of a different scenario, which is the rehabilitation of mercenaries in southern yemen, and what the united states calls the legitimate forces affiliated with

the aiden government. these mercenaries are supposed to occupy the coastal strip, which includes many ports in areas overlooking the seas with heavy air support from the british and americans. perhaps i will try through these mercenaries to wage a proxy battle, because they fully realize that their current battle. has no horizon, unless they make a big decision to launch a ground operation an attempt to eliminate the capabilities of the yemani armed forces. however, the americans and the british will not be able to achieve their goals and persuade ansar allah to stop its operations in the red sea to support palestine. therefore, the plan to occupy the coastal strip is for the americans the optimal plan to strip ansar allah of their areas of strength that bring them some financial returns. but they they fail to understand maybe mr. hamzah that even uh those in the south of yemen actually agree with the operations being done by ansar allah

in support of the people of gaza, because the western world still doesn't understand that palestine is very central cause for all of arabs, not only for ara in yemen, all of arabs, including the yemanies who are in the southern part who had a big problem with the uh movement of the past nine years, but i want to thank you very much. mr. hamza khansa, journalist and political aus for joining us from baylot, thank you very much for your contribution to our show, and ladies and gents, thank you for uh watching uh the show and do please uh follow us on x and on telegram and please stay tuned every week for more updates from here, the media stream on press tv.

a damming report indicates that deaths from terrorism in africa have skyrocketed more than 10000 percent during the so-called us war on terror. the study by the africa center for strategic studies revealed that during 2002 and 2003 when the us was just beginning its decades long war, total of just nine terrorist attacks were counted through out all of africa leading to only 23 casualties, but after two decades of us intervention in africa. with a purported aim of helping the continent in counter terrorism. deaths from takfiri, violence in africa increased to 23, 322 last year, reaching a record level of lethal violence. so what exactly are us troops doing in africa if they're not fighting terrorists as they claim?

in this week's show we'll be shining light on the influence of an ultrasign sect known as habad and the israeli intelligence agency shinbet has said that the vast majority of these people involved in these attacks are uh linked to um this extremist faction based in the yitsar uh settlement in particular there's actually kabad linked uh yashiva jewish seminary in that settlement in the case of palestinians. the key question is, will they grow up to challenge us in the future? of course, something which you can't tell about it, baby, but nevertheless, they can tell and they can tell that any palestinian baby is a threat to them in the future, and they can be engaged regardless of whether you're trying to kill their parents or not, you can just kill the babies by themselves, and this is the depths of the horror of of the the philosophy and the ideas of this sect.

hamas says, there are still big gaps that need to be bridged for a cease fire in gaza, this as israel presses ahead with its deadly strikes on the prestigious trip. the un says that is really forced. targeting aid convoys as gaza as they're trying to systematically block aid access to people in need. and iran is preparing for legislative and assembly of experts selections that will be held this friday simultaneously.
