world showing that countless women and children are being massacred in the gaza strip and palestine, they remain silent, and we also condemn the silence of these governments. many suggest both israeli and us leaders share responsibility as the bloodshed in gaza ever mounts. south korea is alliance with the united states and its reliance on on oil states, saudi arabia, and the uae impact souls policies. south korea and israel have engaged in millions of dollars of arms trade. saul also abstained from a un vote condemning israel over its gaza genocide, seeking some kind of middle ground. this one of dozens of protests here since israel's genocide began, focused on the desperate need to get aid to palestinians sheltering in rafa and to open the... egyptian border. frank smith, press tv. soul. meanwhile tentions remain high

11:44 pm
movement of the israeli solters in the lebanese occupied chibba farms. hazballah also today struck or actually attempted to target an israeli drone, and after they attempted to target this drone, it was forced to withdraw into the occupied territory, and that in itself is very significant. we have seen that in some cases, after hazbillah has targeted drones, we've seen that it's "the number of these drones have decreased uh significantly, the israelis of course have continued their shelling of several of the lebanese towns and villages, the farkilla, odaise, which are adjacent to the border, in addition to the towns that are further off, like kafra, for example, there was an air strike on the town of kafra. the un agency for palestinian refugees says some of his employees released from israely detention centers reported having..." being tortured to falsely acknowledge their participation in the october 7 operation. the onrra in a
11:45 pm
report detailed interviews from staff or staffs who were abducted by the israeli regime. we have discussed the issue with our guests in our news review program. let's take a listen. time now for the news review of this bulletin. the un agency for palestinian refugees says israel tortured and forced members of a staff to false. confess links to the palestinian resistance group hamas. unrow report detailed interviews from staffs who were deliberately targeted and abducted, said that they were subjected to various types of tortures, including sexual violence, humiliation, waterboarding and threats of harm to the family. the un agency said these individuals were then forced to sign false confessions, stating that some staffs took part in the alasa flood operation. unra said it will present the report to relevant un agencies for further investigation. israel alleges that 12% of rs 1300 staff are members
11:46 pm
of hamas and palestinian islamic jihad. in january, the regime accused 12 staffers of the group involvement in the october 7 operation. this meant that this allegation led to many countries cutting up much needed fund to the un agency. to tell us more about this. we have asad abu shark, a palestinian academic and activist joining us from dublin. welcome to you both. let me first start with you, if you can please tell us more. about this uh report and how it debunks the false narrative that's out there by israel uh which had the support of some of its allies like the us and some of the top donors when it comes to theuh as you know that all these claims promoted by the iof according to the palestinian people here are lame excuses in order to tighten the grip on the palestinian
11:47 pm
people and increase the suffering of the palestinian people here because as you know that onrua is the life for the palestinian refugees here in gaza strip, because i mean that the people are completely depending and relying on the supply presented by the onrow to those palestinian refugees, roughly 70, 75% of the population are refugees here in gaza strip, and it was known that the israelis and the israeli occupation forces since the very beginning of this onslot uh have been relying on tightening the grip on the... in order to deepen the suffering of the palestinian people, this is on one hand, on the other hand, there is some kind of a political aspect and dimension behind that, those claims and those excuses and those justifications claimed by the israel incubation forces, which is to liquidate the onrua in order to finish the right of return the palestinian people, because having the
11:48 pm
onrua available and effective on the ground means that the whole world will will will remember. the right of return of the palestinian people, indeed, and that's the question i want to ask you, assad abu shark, when you take a look at the way that anra has been falsely accused by putting out this narrative that israel has uh put out there, which resulted in the loss of some of the major donors, uh, we can see the different goals that israel has had, and this is not the first time that israel has tried to basically not only defund on rub, but to get rid of it, uh, what do what do you think are the goals behind this, now that we have... surfacing that uh this uh they were forced into false confessions, the one that they spoke to, thank you very much, you know that when honor was established following the first nakbah in 1948, the mandate given to uh honorwa is to continue its relief work and
11:49 pm
aid to the palestinian people until the right of return and compensation of all the palestinian refugees who were approached and driven out by the zianist terrorist guns are reinstated and return to their villages, towns and property from which they were violently approted by the zinest gangs. this is the mandate of the honor ever since and ever since the israel had been tr trying to get rid of honora because it is the living political and legal and the human witness to their crime of approaching the palestinian refugeees from their own land and this is why the conspiracy against ora has been
11:50 pm
continuing ever since and this is not the first time actually israel has always been doing its f'. in order to cancel to abrogate honor in order to liquidate the right of retain for the palestinian refugees and to deface its crime against the palestinian people. thank you very much. palestinian academic and author there talking to us from dublin. thank you so much. our correspond from bala. with that we come to an end for this news review. welcome back, spanish prime minister pedro sanchez has vowed to recognize the palestinian state while calling for humanitarian aid for gaza. and an end to the violence, that legacy left by jose luis is what the spanish government is defending in
11:51 pm
ukraine and gaza. respect for international law by russia and israel, the end of violence, the recognition of the two estates and the arrival of humanitarian aid in gaza. let me tell you something important, dear joses and this legislature, i will. propose in parliament the recognition of the palestinian state by spain? asif alizardari, a ruling coalition candidate has been elected as pakistan's president for the second time. he won the election after defeating mahmoud khan achakzai a candidate of the party of jail former prime minister imran khan. zardari previously took the took the presidential office post in 20. 8 until 2013 has more 255. the election of asif ali
11:52 pm
zirdari as pakistan's president was a foregone conclusion. saturday's election was just a formality. zardari had the backing of not just his own pakistan people's party but pakistan muslim league nawaz and others. he managed to comfortably defeat mahmoud khan achak zai a candidate of pakistan tahrik. the party of jailed former prime minister imran khan. zardari is a widdor of former prime minister benazer bhutto who was assassinated in december 2007. he spent many years in jail in the past over corruption charges, though was never formally convicted. the ruling coalition says the victory of zirdari would bring political stability. we have unity and harmony. shabaz sharief successfully rain a coalition government in the past. the coalition partners have also played. part, this time also we will move together, insaf however questioned their mandate, it sought the postponement of presidential elections,
11:53 pm
the party insisted that electoral college was not complete since seats allocated to women and minorities are yet to be failed, people have rejected these parties, people have not voted for them, they have openly stolen our mandate, this government cannot run for a long time, the president is elected through a stolen vote, so as the prime minister. with the election of zardari, the ruling coalition has strengthened its position as it now controls both the office of president and the prime minister. in the pakistani parliamentary system, the president only has ceremonial role as the executive authority rests with a prime minister, but the president does have certain powers where he can delay legislations passed by the parliament. hence the ruling coalition is happy that they have their man. at the presidency kamran yusuf, press tv, islamabad and with that we come to the end of this bulletin. thank you for being with us, take
