4:37 pm
or cocktail or molet of cocktails at the israeli military checkpoint there earlier there's another palestinian uh this time in shafat refugee camp in al-quds after the uh let's say the the al-magharib and iftar of of the first day, the second day of ramadan, he was at the outside his home playing with number of his relatives, the israeli forces opened a fire and shot him in the chest, then they claim that he was playing with fireworks with the with the other children and that's why the israel forces opened fire at him, shot him and killed him, the number of the palestinians who was shot and killed by the israeli soldiers since the 7th of october is today over 430 palestinians in italy drawn strike a car near the southern lebanese city
4:38 pm
of tyre has killed a member of the palestinian business movement hamas. the drone hit the vehicle and neared the palestinian refugee camp of rashidia. the assassinated hamas member has been identified as hadi mustafa. according to security. sources, a civilian who was passing by on his motorcycle, was also killed in the strike. reports say the israely drone was hovered above the side for several minutes before targeting the car. soon after the strike, sirens were also heard in the occupied territories, indicating possible retaliatory attacks by lebanon's hisbollah movements on israeli targets. tens tensions remain high between hisbollah and israel since the regime launched its genacidal war on gaza early october. both sides have an exchanging fire, but israel has intensified attacks on civilians and on recent weeks earlier we spoke to our correspondent with mariam sal for more information on the latest tensions between israel and lebanon. we do not have confirmation or the names of those who were
4:39 pm
killed in that vehicle uh, but it is pretty close to one of the palestinian refugee camps in south lebanon. it is possible that there is a palestinian figure that was in vehicle, it could also be member of the resistance. we know now that after the the strike against this car, sirens were sounding in several areas in the western parts and so that is probably we have those sirens because hezballah seems to have launched several rockets, we also know that rockets were fired told the golland heights, that is something that hisbollah has also maintained is part of its scope of operations as well. um, we also know that there's a lot of threats from the israelis, lot of talk that they want to go on with a blow against lebanon, a full-scale war, you have elites within the israeli regime, it's not the time now for any sort of
4:40 pm
war against hisballah, against lebanon, while the war in gaza remains, and he said very clearly, this these elite figures and other political figures also in the israeli regime are struck. saying that we all know that hazballah is not going to stop until the war on gaza stops. a gaza ceasefire during the holy month of ramadan appears increasingly unlikely after hamas delegates left cairo talks without an agreement accusing zinus israel of supporting efforts put forward by mediators. meanwhile the zionist war cabinet deliberates the possibility for potential security escalations across various fronts during the month of ramadan from gaza to the invasion of rafah extending to the front with lebanon. on the ground the israeli occupation army has expan its operations deep into the gaza strip, intensifying battles in the cities of hamad and khan unis as a prelude to
4:41 pm
entry into rafah as the resistance reemerges again in northern gaza. see fire talks falter this week on the mediast stream. welcome back to the news here on press tv. a senior israely official has accused the u.s. of... news review where we look deeper into some of the top stories of the day on this segment of the program is uh israeli official on the condition of ananimity has revealed that the united states is seeking to aust israeli
4:42 pm
prime minister beniamin netanyahu. in a statement issued to the media, the official pointed to new us intelligence report showing growing public distrust in netanyahu, uh, he interpreted the wordings in the report as an fc netan. the intelligence report for 2024 published on monday warned the viability of the netanyahu cabinet saying that it may be in jeopathy. criticisms over its handling of the gauza war. us intelligence agencies in the report also speculated more rallies demanding netanyahu's resignation and snap elections. the intelligence report and reactions show growing riff between israel and the us despite washington's all out support for the regime's genocidal war on the gaza strip. joining us on this edition of the news review we have academic broadcaster and investigative researcher david miller who's joining us from bristol, also we have co-founder of the scottish palestine
4:43 pm
solidarity campaign, mr. mcnape here joining us from edinburgh. let's start off with mr. miller uh in bristol. sir, i want to get your perspective on this recent intelligence report uh, it seems that uh uh on uh from the the side of the united states ben yahu is turning out to to be the scapegoat in this war. "well, this is not a new position by the us intelligence committee, uh, it it looks like they are getting fed up with netanyahu, but they have been opposed to his uh government for some time, uh, indeed, have been themselves directly funding some of the protesters prior to alex of flug being launched, so it's not new, but it it does indicate that there is section of the us ruling elite which wants netanyahu gone, which wants a more moderate..." government as they would see it, of course that's not uh necessarily the likely outcome if netanyahu
4:44 pm
goes, it may well be even more radical government that comes into power, and you've got to think about the way in which the the intelligence services in the us relates to the presidency, and they are not necessarily in the same view. right, and uh, mr. napur, uh, let's uh, let's talk about uh, the uh, this report uh... and also how it's going to play into the uh the divisions that we're seeing uh in the politics of the israeli regime and uh how untrusted and unpopular uh the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has turned out to be following this genocide? popular, but the big question is why is he unpopular? i mean, in a previous election, several years ago, the the american jewish newspaper forward said that the election between gants, the moderate opponent, the moderate opposition and netanyahu was really
4:45 pm
a competition to see who could have who could kill the most palestinians and that was the the core of their competition, so yeah, i mean netanyahu's only crime in the eyes of washington is failure. i mean, if he could have crushed uh the palestinian resistance as he wanted to do in a very short period of time, then i think he would be riding quite high in the poles, but that fail. is is quite stark, so it's opening up fishers inside israeli society, but also inside washington as well, the crime being failure. now if netanyahu falls and almost everyone. that he will fall, i was speaking to in israeli yesterday um in in scotland and he was very antisignous, he was saying yes, netanyahu is bound to fall at some stage quite soon, but who will the winner be? as as david points out, it could be somebody who's even better at killing palestinians, so yes it's very likely netanyahu will be outsted in the near to to to to middle future, but what will
4:46 pm
replace him? look, the problem is not the political, the divisions inside the israeli political elite, it's this that you got seven million or probably six millionus jews in israel and virtually all of them well understand that their living standard in the middle east relies on the link to to the usa, relies aid, relies on on on protection from them. so everybody understands that if america wanted to stop the genocide, if they really wanted to get rid of netanyahu, they would simply stop the guns and stop the bombs and stop the money for for a short period of time, netanyahu would be gone, but they dare not do that. because they have to keep up the the the the the the israeli elite as a whole and they and if you've got an attack dog in the middle east who can be relied upon if necessary to attack iran or to attack jordan or or lebanon or whatever you have to keep that attack dog salibating, you have to maintain its own particular um morale, so america is reluctant to take on the whole elite in israel, but they they it's not so
4:47 pm
easy to maneuver netanyahu out. thanks lot gentlemen, that's all the time we have for this segment of the program academic broadcaster and investigative researcher david miller joining us from bristol and also thanks to co-founder of the scottish palestine solidarity campaign mr. mc nape you're joining us from edinbrow and that's wrap for this edition of the news review but stick around there's plenty more to come here on president on the first day of the holy month of ramadan thousands of jordanians rallied at aman and across the country. protest against israel's genocidal war in gaza. today, on the first day of ramadan, we are standing before the genocide, the enforced hunger and killing, the targeting of children, women, and unarmed civilians and the demolition of houses over inhabitants. of course, our message is to create the humanitarian land corridor to northern gaza,
4:48 pm
where the palestinian citizens suffer from hunger and dehydration inflicted by the zionist enemy that is leading. this offensive war, this genocide and ethnic cleansing against the palestinian people. carrying palestinian flags and banners, the protesters chanted pro-palestinian and anti-israeli slogans. they also demanded unhindered delivery of aid to gaza as they gathered near the israely embassy. jordan is hosting 2.4 million palestinian refugees and has witnessed several rallies in solidarity with gazans since israel launched this war and the sieged gaza strep. similar. riles have taken place in other countries as well. thousands of iranian legal experts and attorneys have joined the global movements of lawyers who have volunteered to file a genocide complaint against israel at the international criminal court. refer to as the army of lawyers for palestine. the initiative has so far mobilized more than 200 thousand lawyers
4:49 pm
worldwide. kisumy has the details and unprecedented global movement gaining momentum, initiated by veteran french lawyer and academic, the army of lawyers for palestine now has over 200,000 lawyers of different nationalities on board and still counting as he travels from country to country to promote his grassroots campaign. we are witnessing new movement in the world, the atrocities committed in gaza are no longer. only matter that concerns muslim countries, far from it. here we have a french lawyer that has started an initiative that brough together 300 lawyers from across the world in less than 10 days and that number grew rapidly to 100,000. and now with the mou that we have signed at the iran judiciary bar, that number will be rising to 50,000
4:50 pm
lawyers. with iran on board, you can also expect lawyers from iraq, syria and lebanon to join in as well, and an optimistic gil dever who has already filed a complaint of genocide against israel with the international criminal court, demanding an arrest warrant for top israeli politicians, including prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this is going to be tough battle without a doubt, but in just few months, all these lawyers have joined us. this kind of solidarity is unprecedented. we have never seen so many lawyers join. hands for one purpose in history, so this is a great sign, because it won't be enough to tell a judge, look, there's no many of us, instead we have to be able to defend. palestine with strong legal arguments, and by the looks of things, we have solid base for that. hi, south african fellow companion, shedding light on
4:51 pm
the legal aspects of the matter, while explaining how the case brought to the international court of justice by south africa is also paving the way. the icj order specifically spoke about creating a humanitarian corridor and humanitarian assistance to the people of gaza, the united states and israel was saying that the word cease fire did not exist in the icj order, but this is not true because the humanitarian aid on the ground at scale cannot be delivered without an effective and immediate ceasefire. it is very clear that we are witnessing a birth of new age, new movement of justice seking people from all over the world is emerging and that is why while the south african government files a complaint we see a gr. root movement also taking shape, very unique one that has brought together lawyers who are seeking justice in the battle between good and evil. and in the words of
4:52 pm
these legal experts, this goal is not far from reach. these lawyers believe that we live in a new era in which this new global initiative will eventually lead to justice for palestinians. gisum shahmi press tv, tehran. italy's judicial authorities are considering the extradition of a palestinin man who was arrested without charges over a month ago on the request of israel. five weeks after his detention, the man is not being charged with alleged terrorist plans. israel's extradition request is not being examined by an italian court. mally has more from ram. annan yaesh is a 37-year-old palestinian citizen from tulkarm in the occupied west bank and a former member. the palestinian resistance movements. during the second palestinian intifada in 2006, anan, who was just teenager, served four-year sentence in israeli jails a political

you think the public will ever know about the details of anan's arrest? on tuesday, israel's extradition request for anan was being examined by a court in laquela in central italy where the man was arrested in late january. the court is expected to rule on announced case soon. we have appealed to the court not to extradite anan mainly on two grounds: firstly, due to the systematic nature of torture other ill treatment of palestinians condicted or a waiting trial in israeli prisons and an yeish would risk being tortured if extradited. secondly, while israeli citizens are subject to israeli civil and criminal. the charges against this client
