hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in teran. thank you for joining us. in today's top story, israel's prime minister has rejected new cease fire proposal by the hamas resistance movement that included the release of the regime's. captives in exchange for the release of palestinian abducties. benjamin netanyahu's office issued the statement following a war cabinet meeting in tel aviv. however, the statement said delegation would leave for qatar to discuss israel's position a potential agreement. it also said netanyahu had approved plans for a military operation in rafah, the southern gaza city where more than million people are sheltering. earlier hamas said under this proposal the occupying israeli forces should leave gaza. hamil said

his proposal also included the return of displaced palestinians to their homes and providing them with aid. the exchange of palestinian abducties with israeli captives held in gaza was included as well. the israeli military has conducted new attacks on different locations across gaza, a correspondent in the central city of deivalah joined us earlier to give us the details. let's a listen. in the meantime, the israeli accubition artillery maintained its shelling towards the eastern part of uh several areas of gaza strip, particularly here in der balah city and almograga neighborhood and even fuji camp heavy uh artillery shilling reach those areas uh and that shilling actually was maintained over the night and even in jabal refugee camp and in kanyunis city the israel

also maintained and continued their attacks and air strikes, in the meantime, the central, the central areas of khanuni city and jabal refugee camp also were hit uh of of of relentlessly by those israeli continuous air strikes, several zantal buildings destroyed over those cruel attacks, a rear shipment of food aid has arrived at the gaza strips coastline in a first after move. uh, after more than five months of israeli onslaughts, which has pushed the territory to the brink of famon. the aid consists of more than 200 tons of food and water and is now being unloaded. the consignment has been sent by a world center kitchen charity with the help of spanish aid group open arms. the group says a second aid package is also ready sail to gaza from cyprus. the food is planned to be distributed in the nearly flattened northern gaza. the united nations has... that a

quarter of the population of the gaza strip faces starvation and the crisis is growing, that's admit persisting israely blockade on the territory. we've been holding an exclusive interview with the deputy leader of the palestinian islamic jihad movement. in it he details the latest cease fire plan proposed by the resistance in gaza, but cast doubt on israely willingness to reach a political settlement. let's take a listen. new proposal was submitted which divides the agreement, meaning that the first phase would begin, which includes the prisoner swap, and we agreed to add other elements to it.

return or guarantee the return of the displaced to their homes in the north of the gazza strip and gazza city. the second phase, which includes the swap of the soldiers, which must include guarantees for an end of the war, an end to the aggression and an end to the cease fire. and the third phase would include pledges to begin the reconstruction of gazza. we believe that the israeli government, because it includes number of

members of the far right, will not respond, and it has maneuvered. "there was maneuvering on the part of the netanyahu government, hindi however said that such israely maneuvering will not lead anywhere because of palestinian steadfastness. he said the resistance is carrying out operations in areas which israel claims to have captured including in the north of the strip and in hannunis to the south. the resistance official also highlighted the us complicity in the israely genocide in gaza. in this aggression, there is american agreement with israel, and the american administration is a

complete accomplice with israel despite the crocodile tears. which they are shedding, so the goals are to eliminate the resistance, and these are american israeli joint strategic goals, so the goals are the same, but there is a disagreement regarding the priorities. but the civilians are being killed with american weapons and bombs and some of these

weapons reach israel even behind the back of the congress. hindi described as an act of hypocrisy the us delivery of limited aid to gaza through airdrops and temporary seaports while delivering weapons to israel. he said the us is attempting to mislead the international conscience and by time for israel. hindi also pointed to israeli threats to invade the refugee packed city of rafa describing them as meaningless given the large extent of israely losses and casualties elsewhere in gaza which he's stressed. the regime is concealing columnis and political analyst said shahabi tells us about the two major failures of israel since its creation despite committing all sorts of crimes and atrocities. let's take a listen. there are

few points here: number one, israel, after 75 years of occupation has not secured its own. security for 75 years there have been only wars, crimes, genocidal policies, they have been repeatedly criticized by international body, so on the security front they have failed to achieve their own security, despite what is said about their sophisticated security systems and sophisticated military hardware, they have faith. number one, number two, the when they waged the war on hamas on and on palestinians in the last four month since october the 9th when they started their operations against the palestinians, they declared and they said that our aim is to

destroy and demolish the resistance movements, especially hamas, but now after four months or five almost five months, they have failed to do it, they have... not being able to defeat the resistance movement, and this is what happened in the last, as i said, 75 years, they have never been able to... defeat the resistance movement, on the other hand, the they have been boming the uh citizens, the air ordinary civilians in gaza in sometimes, meanwhile ground fighting rages on across the gaza strip with palestinian resistance fighters repelling attacks by israeli forces, the military wing of the hamas resistance movement, the algasan brigades says it has killed four israeli soldiers in central. gaza. the group says the regime's troops were targeted while moving explosive devices to building in the al zahra

municipality. in separate operation there, al-qassan fighters carried out rocket attacks against five israeli mercover tanks. the al-guus brigades also launched mortor shells at the gathering of regime soldiers. israel says it has lost 250 of his troops since the regime's ground invasion of gaza began in late october. palestinian groups however said the actual number of regimes. casualties is much higher and israel is hiding it to avoid public anger. a gaza ceasefire during the holy month of ramadan appears increasingly unlikely after hamas delegates left cairo talks without an agreement accusing zionist israel of thorting efforts put forward by mediators. meanwhile the zionist war cabinet. liberates 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 expanded its operations deep into the gaza strip, intensifying battles in the cities of hamad and khan unis as a prelude to entry into rafah as the resistance reemerges again in northern gaza. see's fire talks falter this week on the meast stream. welcome back, the hezbollah resistance movement warns, it is prepared for expansion of hostilities with the israel regime if necessary. hezbolah made the comment in a statement shortly after it responded to series of israely attacks on his positions in southern lebanon. the movement said it talked at the regime's military bases and gatherings of soldiers with rockets and missiles. hisbollah in israel have been. exchanging fire across lebanon's southern border since the regime launched this onslot on gaza early october. meanwhile israel

continues with the deadly attacks on southern lebanon a mid tensions with the lebanese resistance movement hezbollah. our correspondent in beirot miami joined us earlier for an update on the latest developments. that there was a heavy shelling from these. side and we're seeing increased amount of air shelling more than artillery fire, which was basically the norm in the beginning of the confrontations, now you have lot of sharing on the outskirts of several villages like almashab, like ramia, for example, but you have certain towns like mesabal andkila for example where you have the lot of residential areas have been completely turned into rubble, and despite that you see and we notice no from our authorities that the israeli seem to... go and once again shall the same place, even if that residential area the certain residence

or group of houses uh or buildings were like we said completely demolished, the israelies still once more target that same area, analysts are saying that this is part of israel's frustration and the fact that they do not have uh enough data when it comes to their their targeting, husball's fire has also reached the israeli post and areas we also know that hazbullah has been attempting to target israeli soldiers whenever they they stop them, we know that there was a group of soldiers in the vicinity of the post and targeted that group of soldiers by a burkan rocket. another week of pro-palestinian rallies in yemen, huge crowds of demonstrators once again took the streets across the country to condemn the us israely genocide in gaza and age the yemeny. army to continuous operations against israel, for more details our correspondent abdul latifa

washali joined us earlier from the site of the rally in the capital san a. despite the sunny and hot weather, the people here and also despite their being fasting today, you know it's ramadan, but the people have choosen to gather here, they came from across the city together in the capitals and also in other cities to express their solidarity with the palestinian people, they said they can't just... main passive while witnessing the oppressed people of palestine suffer from killings and being starved to death by at the hands of the israeli regime, they have to do something, they have to demonstrate, they have to... provoking the yemani army to escalate its operations in the red sea and gulf of aiden and today we've seen them being happy after hearing the speech of sayid abdul malik al huth yesterday saying that the naval operations now will be escalated and now they will target the uh israeliing chips not only in the red sea and straight but also in the indian ocean and in the uh south africa the

people today are very happy they said they will uh keep telling the yemen army and urging the yemen army to keep escalating its operations. the yemeni army says it has carried out fresh attacks on us and israely vessels in the indian ocean as it expands the scope of his pro-palestinian and vitalitary operations. another victory for the oppressed palestinian people and in retaliation for the american british aggression against our country. the naval units of the yemeni armed forces carried out an operation targeting these. our forces carried out an operation targeting an american destroyer in the red sea with number of drones and successfully achieved its objectives in implementing the directives of our leader abdulthi in another victory for the oppressed palestinian people

who are being subjected to aggression and siege in the gaza strip and in response to the calls of the yemani people and all the free people of the nation, the yemeni armed forces began to expand the scope of their operations against israeli ships, those linked to israel or those heading to the ports of occupied palestine to include the indian ocean to the cape of good hope. accordingly, the yemen armed forces won all israeli ships heading to or coming from the ports of occupied palestine, not to pass through the cape of good hope, otherwise they will be legitimate target for our armed forces. "the yemeni armed forces within the framework of implementing these directives carried out three operations against three israelian american ships in the indian ocean using number of suitable naval missiles and drones, and all three operations successfully achieved their objectives. the yemeni armed forces will persist with their military operations, enforcing a blockade on israeli

navigation in the red and arabian seas as well as the indian ocean until a cease fire is achieved and the siege on gaza is. last but not least, russia has begun three days of voting to pick a president, four candidates including incumbant vladimir putin of vying for the post. in a pre-election address, putin called on russians to participate in the election. we have discussed the issue in on news review program. let's take a look. hello and welcome, you're watching press tv's news review where we look you print to some the top stories of the day, in this segment the program, people across russia are heading to the post to choose new president for the next six years, the vote is taking place across the country's 11 time zones, more than 112 million people are eligible to cast ballots from friday until sunday and coming

president vladimir putin is running for fifth term, he has three. rivals, they're from the new people party, the liberal democratic party and the communist party. prior to the election, putin called on russians to vote, saying that people are the only source of power in his country. he said russia is going through a difficult period and needs to stay united and confident to uh overcome it. the vote is also taking place in the four regions at russia annexed from ukraine in 2020 to namely donietsk, luhansk, zaporija and xeran. joining us on this edition of the news review, we have uh press tv's very own johnny miller joining us from moscow, also we have journalist activists and political analyst mr. john bosic joining us from belgrade, let's start off with um press tv's uh johnny miller in moscow, johnny uh walk us through

uh what's uh taking place during the uh three days uh as russians go to the polls and about the significance. of this election as well, well the first day of polling is practically at an end, local reports say 20% of russian people have already voted, i spoke to one woman today who told me she's never voted before, but she's going to vote this time, she didn't tell me who she's going to vote for, it's quite an impolite question to ask here in russia, i've tried my best to, most people won't answer it as well, it's rather impolite to to answer it either, but the one man told me there's only one man to vote for and that's who i'm voting for. what else he told me? i suspect that he was voting for vladimir putin. uh, vladimir putin will win the election, i won't even say almost certainly, he certainly will win the election. the main reason being is that he's very popular. uh the economy despite the fact that russia is fighting major conflict, a war, a special military operation, call it where you will against ukraine, some say the

whole of the collective west, russian economy is stay very strong and indeed is growing politically, it's very stable and vladimir putin remains very popular, so the main reason he will win the election, um and i think many people have criticized in russia or question why they're holding an election now, they are fighting major conflict. but i think it's also part of just the kind of uh stability that the russian government wants to project that the country is running along smoothly if you're here in moscow or elsewhere in russia, daily life does continue as normal, it feels like there's a war at the edge of the empire so to speak, but life continues and that's very much what this election is proving, there's uh certain attempts to destabilize russia particularly from ukraine, drones attacks in the belgrad region, other events around russia is trying to stabilize. russia in in in this election, but certainly it does feel very stable, the election is going uh going going ahead uh as planned and uh the russian government does seem strong and confident going forward. the

issue of the economy was something that our correspondent johnny miller just brought up, mr. bozic, i want you to break that down for us as well as we know uh in spite of uh the uh dire predictions of many critics uh russia has actually been successful in uh evading western. sanctions and its economy has outperformed those uh expectations, how is that going to play into the uh um to the voters minds and the elections uh at this point in time right now? you know, i've had the privilege and the good fortune of being personally involved in some of these transformations. i was the advisor to the japanese prime minister's office at the time that we negotiated on behalf of japan for the building of the esppo. pipeline, the eastern siberia to pacific ocean pipeline, and that pipeline has become the economic life, life blood of russia, and from the revenues from

that pipeline, russia has been able to build its links internationally and to finance the redevelopment of agriculture. russia was agricultural importer and now is an exporter. russia is now one of the world's leading oil petroleum product exporters. russia is producing domestic. retail goods and russia has built an alliance of steel, literally pipeline of energy and retail products interchange with china at the perfect time, because china is under sanctions from the united states and it has turned its eyes towards russia as a commercial and retail market, there couldn't be better nexus and better synergy of all possible benefits, and that has been tied directly to the presidency of vladimir. all right, thanks lot press tvs johnny miller joining us from the russian capital, moscow, and thanks to journalists, activists and political analyst mr. john boznic, joining us from belgrade. with that it brings us to an end here on this edition

the news review, but stick around, there's plenty more to come here on press tv. bismillahirrahmanirrahim. يوم ترى المؤمنين والمؤمنات يسعى نورهم بين ايديهم وبايمانهم بشراكم اليوم بشراكم اليوم جنات تجري من تحتها ال

playing the victim, the regime called it an unprovoked attack, but did hamas really attack the regime out of the blue with no good reason? gaza stripped

it is evident that the cease fire. negotiations have entered a state of deadlock with conflicting paths toward collapse. palestinian sources confirmed that the stumbling of the negotiations essentially began with the retreat of the four parties that prepared the paris paper, namely the united states of america, egypt, qatar, and ziness israel at the end of last january from the provisions of the paper. will the faltering of cease fire agreements in cairo and the escalation of the israeli entity threats to expand grand operations towards the city of rafah, the last area in southern gaza that has yet to be entered by occupation tanks, the resistance has once again brought the fight back to the initial point, the city of baithanoon in the northern most part of the gaza strip. while the israeli occupation army assumed that the
