the voice of the voiceless. press tv. 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 backtract 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 too. moreover, 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 ceasefire before the onset of the holy month of ramadan. in about two weeks. they believe that the 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 wide maneuvering margins, 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 sessation 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 occupation's release of 3,00 palestinies during the exchange deal, but the zin of soldiers captives will remain with the palestinian resistance until the person. permanent

agreement is reached for a comprehensive ceasefire. welcome to the mid stream, i'm madman. it seems that the decision regarding the raf 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 the areas, but also because the situation there is contingent upon the positions of other parties in the war, whether they are partners to signist israel or maybe mediators who at this stage refuse any attack on the city of of rafah and prefer negotiated path to end the fighting, albeit 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 al-qaus supplement, which is published week. 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, 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 zinist 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 140 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 2 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 netanyahu and is 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 in in rava 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 ghaza, 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 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 a serious obstacle but the biggest obstacle i have to tell you mar 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. 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 3,0 palestinian detainees from israeli entity prisons, but uh and they want to keep the soldier captives with them in order to ensure. that the cease fire 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 designist entity won't just start a new unforeseeable attack against resident, residence areas in gaza? now this this 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 a swapping deal that was the offer the israelies refused this offer okay so we went to uh 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's must say, okay, there is on the table a proposition that ratio of one to 10, one israel for every time, but that only applies for 35 of the prisoners, not of the 135, if there would be a general deal for the 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 that could be deal, but what guarantees of course 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 zionist entity propaganda concerning the grand 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 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 rafa is blackmailing, it's to blackmail the americans and you say it's to blackmail the

americans, but if what netanyahu wants happens, 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... 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... 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 designist entity and apparently not even their allies trust them anymore, but i want to really thank you very much for being with, thank you with us this morning in beirot, dr. amar nashebe, political analyst and lawyer, expert in human rights, supervisor of the caus 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. nishib for being with us, ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we are going to talk about yemen, how they are adomant. yemenese are adoment 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 sanah 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 name are intentionally concealing many facts about the almost daily operations carried out by the

yemeni 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 sana 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 sea 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 francei, the commander of the us navy. recently, admiral brad cooper, the deputy commander of the us navy in the middle east, admitted an interview to cbs's 60 minutes, that their forces in the red sea, gulf of aden 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 3,00 miles per hour, acknowledging the military superiority of yemen. the second truth, confirming the unprecedented quagmire 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 lant air missiles, each costing about $4 million us dollars against yemani 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 seven. american fighters, surveillance, reconnaissance and satellite costs with the zero results, as underscored by sayid abdul malik baddin in his speech last week. meanwhile, yemeny's strategic operations continue to escalate significantly, effectively and tangibly breaking the backbone of the israeli entity economy, and it seems it won't seiz 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 yemani leader. ship 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... is just futile, it's nonsense. and sarah possess no assets or financial exchanges neither in washington or any other capital in the atlantic for that matter. additionally, sanah 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 us 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 aden.

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 ansar allah 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 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 interest of the nation as a whole, for example 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 of the palestinian cause, which is a fundamental principle of the unsar movement and the yemani government in general, but um,

mr. we did here, the admiral brad cooper, he admitted, as you just said, that the u.s. forces in the red sea, in the gulf of vaiden, 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, haven't 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 yemen 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 full. power for for maybe later, but how clos close is this confrontation to maybe an all-out explosion, not only in the red sea, but in the entire arabian peninsula yany. entity is doing in gaza. they have stated that their operations

are in support of the palestinian people and resistance. therefore, the cessation of operations is directly linked to holting aggression on gaza and lifting the siege on the palestinian people. another condition was later, which is when the americans, along with. 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 yemani escalation to the level of american aggression on yemen. as we saw last week, the yemany 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 amenes 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 amenies themselves and their missile arsenal, naval mines and unman aerial weapons for a battle suitable for their geographical nature and nature of this enemy, there's another kind of threat that we have seen uh the us and british intelligence used in syria for example or in lebanon for that matter is uh the security apparatus uh threats uh which were issured by the yemenister of interior and the intelligence security agency which revealed them farting very malicious scheme sponsored by the united states of america and britain to mobilize terrorist organizations like al-qaeda and uh isis from albaida to carry out assassinations and bombing 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 yeman from assassinations and massacers to mobilizing takfiry groups similar to what... happened in iraq and syria in most of yaman'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 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. yemini islands and areas, but all these attempts were defeated by the eminis and today we see the urgent need to complete the liberation operations to expel the occupying forces from yemani 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 over. working 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 ansarullah 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 ansara law of their areas of strength that bring them some financial returns. but they

they fail to understand, maybe mr. hamza that even 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 asarullah in yemen, all of arabs, including the yemanis 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 analist for joining us from bailut, 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 diming report indicates that deaths from terrorism in africa have skyrocketed more than 100,000 percent during the so-called us war on terror. the study by the african center for strategic studies revealed that during 2002 and 2003 the us was just beginning its decades long war, total of just nine terrorist attacks were counted throughout 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, that's 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? today in the studio we are joined by one of the members of the political bureau of the palestinian islamic jihad movement ali abu shahin. since the israeli aggression, there has been no safe place in gaza. the world today is saying enough is enough. the american administration is a part of this aggression under the pretext of slogans of democracy and confronting dictatorship.

b signence hamad says a us in israeli regime will not gain through politics what they failed to gain through war. "us is really genocidal war in gaza claims the lives of more women and children with the death toll nearing 30,00. and iran's khamenei stresses the importance of strong voter turnout in the friday elections."
