gosa strip and you're watching press tv, world news. israel's prime ministers rejected new cease fire proposal by the hamas resistance movement that includes release of regime's captives and exchange for the release of palestinian abducties. benjamin netanyahu's office issued the statement following. war cabinet meeting in tel aviv, however, the statement said delegation will leave for qatar to discuss israel's position a potential agreement. it also says netanyahu had approved plans for military operation in rafa, the southern gaza city where more than million people are taking shelter. earlier, hamas said under his proposal, occupying forces have to leave gaza, it said his proposal also includes return of displaced palestinians to their homes and providing them with aid. exchange of palestinian

abductees and israeli captives held in gaza was also included. palestinians in gaza say they're in a dire need of food, especially in the holy month of ramadan. gaza is facing severe food crisis due to israel's onslot and blockade on the coastal enclive. our gaza correspond moti abusaba joined us earlier and interviewed. some of the displaced people who have described their plight in gaza. he was displaced after the israeli forces attacked our neighborhood. as you can see, we live in these tents made of plastic and fabric. we have nothing eat but some canned food, which is the only thing that we have been eating for roughly six months. we don't even have gas to cook. i have six children and i don't know what to feed them. i have displays from.

i have five children, i came from algeria to visit gaza and the war erupted. i haven't expected that the situation could be as bad as it is. the situation is beyond catastrophe here, as the people can barely find their food, especially in this holy month, even those who want to travel or a stock, rare shipment of food. has arrived at gaza's coastline in a first after more than five months of israely enslot which has pushed the territory literally to the brink of famon. aid consists of more than 200 tons of food and water now being unloaded. the consignment has been sent by the world central kitchen charity group with the help of spanish aid group open arms. the group says a second package is also ready to sale to gaza from cyprus. food is planned to be distributed in nearly uh flatten northern gaza. the un has

warned a quarter of the population of gaza faces starvation and the crisis is growing by the day and it's admit persisting is really blockade on the territory. now we've held an exclusive interview with deputy leader of palestinian islamic jihad movement and in it he details latest sease fire plan proposed by the resistance in gaza, but cast doubt over israely willingness to reach a political settlement. a 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 ceastfire. 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 is maneuvering on the part of a netanyahu government. hindi however said such israely maneuvering will not lead anywhere because palestinian steadfastness. he said resistance is carrying out operations in areas which israel claims to have captured including in the north of the strip and in khan unist to the south. the resistance official also highlighted us complicity in israel's genocide in gaza. sir, 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 air drops and a temporary seaport while delivering weapons to israel. he said us is attempting to misleave the international conscience and by time for israel. handy also pointed to israely threats to invade refugee pack southern city of raffa, describing them as meaningless given large extent of israely lost. is in casualties elsewhere in gaza, which he stress the regime is concealing. political analyst saida shabi joined us earlier and told us about two major failures of israel since its creation despite committing all sorts of

crimes and atrocities. 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, this is number one, number two, the when they waged the war on hamas, on on palestinians in the last four months 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 been able to defeat the resistance movement, and this is what happened in the last, as i said five years, they have never been able to defeat the resistance movement, on the other hand, the they have been bombing the citizens, the ordinary civilians in gaza, in sometimes in jerusalem, ground fighting continues to rage on across the gaza strip with palestinian resistance fighters repelling number of attacks by israeli forces. the military wing of hamas, the al-qasam brigade says it's killed four israeli soldiers in central gaza. the group

says regime's troops were targeted while moving explosives to building in al-zahra municipality. in separated operation there, the al-qassan fighters carried out rocket attacks against five israeli tanks. the alcuds brigades also launch mortar shells a gathering of regime soldiers. now israel's 250 troops since it's a ground invasion into gaza in late october. palestinian groups though say the actual number of the regime's casualties is much higher and israel is hiding uh the true number to avoid public anger. "the israeli occupation demonstrates its

hatred on houses of the lord. this mask was reduced to rubble by f-16 warget. their way led to the destruction of the houses around the mask, causing the fall of marchers and injuries amongst neighbors of the mosk. the palestinians did not stand on the romans of the damas idly, but they created..." temporary mosks that don't protect them from neither the cold of winter nor the heat of the summer. welcome back everyone, you're watching press tv, world news. now resistance movement warns, it is prepared for expansion of hostilities with the israeli regime if

necessary. hezbollah made the comment in a statement shortly after it responded to series of israeli attacks its positions in southern lebanon. the movement said it targeted regime's military bases and gatherings of its soldiers with rockets and missiles. hesbullah and israel been exchanging fire across southern lebanese border since regime launched its onslot on october, early october in gaza. never continues is deadly attacks on southern lebanon and mid tensions with uh hezbulah. our correspondent in beirot matdyam suther join us earlier for an update. it's a heavy shelling from the israeli side and we're seeing uh increased amount of air shelling more than artillery fire which was basically the norm in the beginning of the confrontations. now you have a... lot of showing on the outskirts of several villages like almashab, like kramia, for example, but you have certain towns like mesabal and

karkila for example where you have the lot of residential areas have been completely turned into rubble, and despite that you see and we notice know 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 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. hollah's fire has also reached the israeli posts in several areas. we also know that hezballah has been attempting to target israeli soldiers whenever they uh they stop them. we know that there was a group of soldiers in the vicinity of the ' said targeted that group of soldiers uh by a

emergency measures requiring berlin to stop military aid to israel and reverse its decision to stop funding unra. icj recently issued an interim ruling in a case against israel brought by south africa and it called on the regime to take all necessary measures to prevent genocide in gaza. however, the un experts say that israel appears to be in a grave breach of that order. now russia has begun a three days of voting to pick next president, four candidates including in. vladimir putin are vying for the top post, in a pre-election address, putin called on russians to participate in the selection. we discussed the issue earlier with our guests and our news review program.

hello and welcome, you're watching press tv's. news review where we look keep into some of the top stories of the day on this segment of 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. 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 xersan. 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 boss joining us from belgrade. let's start off with um press tv's. 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 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 implike question to. ask here in russia, i've tried my best to, most people won't answer it as well, it's rather than polite 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, by one 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, special military. operation, call it where you will against ukraine, some say the whole of the collective west, russian economy has stayed very strong and 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, the... country is running along smoothly if you 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 try to destabilize russia 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 directions of many critics uh russia has actually been successful in evading western sanctions and its economy has outperformed those uh expectations. how is that going to play in? to the uh uh um to the voters minds and uh the elections uh at this point in time right now? you'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 espo 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 an 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 uh synergy of all possible benefits, and that has been tied directly to the presidency of vladimir putin. thanks lot, press tv's johnny miller joining us from the russian capital, moscow, and thanks to journalists, activists and political analys mr. joining us from belgrade, with that it brings us to an end here on this edition of the news review, but stick around, there's plenty more to come here on press tv. that's it for your latest here on press tv, everyone, thanks for joining us and goodbye for now.
