5:43 am
joining us from the british capital as well, let's start off with mr. shawi in london uh, i want to get your perspective on this recent order by the icj uh what it means and also uh the uh the outcome of it uh uh which most likely will continue to be ignored by the israelis. thank you. thank you very much, in this holy month, the people of gaza are being denied the basic needs of life, food and medicine and even water, and the the reports from the international agency say that there are cases of death of hunger, femen like beginning of femin in gaza, and this is man made, this is then made by the israelis by preventing food and medicine from. entering into gaza and by blockating that area. israel
5:44 am
cannot function without the support of the americans, so unless there is lot of pressure from america, lot of pressure from the arab countries themselves, which are ignoring the flight of the palestinians, unless there is this, there are these pressures, the israelis are likely to ignore the icj's order to allow humanitarian. aid into gaza uh masud shajar, chairman of the islamic human rights commission is joining us on the line from london. uh, mr. shajar, i want to get your perspective on this recent icj order as well, and do you agree with uh, mr. shawi, it's the internet uh, it is uh at the hands of the international community to start an exert pressure on the israelis, but with unequivocal support of the united states, how will that happen, how can this status quo ever change? well it's not just the blame shouldn't just go to united states, i think
5:45 am
the blame goes to whole of the international community and indeed the international institution, all the international institution, be at un, be at the international court or indeed being oic, they are all incompetent and unable to make any difference whatsoever, all the resolut. positions in the last few months and indeed the statement by international court have not saved one innocent palestinian child's life i mean. "when are we going to realize that these institutions are nothing but colonial tools implement the wishes of not the international community? let us not forget right now, even in the west, between 70 to 85% of people demanding ceasefire immediately, but the the the so-called the
5:46 am
leaders of these - country, this democracy is deliberately ignoring the wishes of the majority and implementing and supporting the continuation of this war, not just by silent, but actually giving arms and equipment and making you making facilities for the zionist state to kill more effectively and commit war crimes more effectively. thank you, communists and political anar. joining us uh from london and chairman of the islamic human rights commission masud shajar joining us on the line from the british capital as well. welcome back. the international court of justice on thursday issued an order for
5:47 am
israel to take all the necessary and effective measures to ensure basic food supplies arrive in gaza. without delay. let's watch and listen to reactions of some of the palestinians in the war ravy strip on the latest icj ruling. humanitarian conditions are miserable. we want solution, we need a solution. the aid that goes to northern gaza does not reach the needy ones, while the aid that arrives in the southern gaza is being sold in the markets in retail or wholesale. it was a courageous and good decision by the international court of justice, but will israel abide by the ruling, israel considers itself to be above the law, humanitarian conditions in gaza are not hidden, it is very
5:48 am
miserable, prices are very high and there is no monitoring of prices, businessmen put the prices they wish and the order came very late, the var has been ongoing for about six months and now the international court of justice has found out that the people are on the verge of starvation, what we care about is implementing this order, is there anyone to pressure israel implement it? the french firm has just been accused of providing arms components for or to israel which are being used against civilians in gaza. nearly a ton of pass needed for use in israeli and nato machine guns were apparently shipped in october in what leftist french
5:49 am
parliamentarians have termed a massive scandal. ramen maziri reports from paris. a new report from a french investigative website alleges that france is supplying arms components for use by the israeli army in gaza. nearly a ton of parts for machine guns was sent in october to israel by a french firm whose parts have already been discovered in syria, somalia and elsewhere. the parts are for the type of weapon which has been used by israel in many of their recent massacres. of palestinians, the french government responded that the parts are being used by israel only for use in arms manufacturing for foreign customers, but many find that explanation hard to believe. opposition lawmakers have called it a massive scandal and accused the defense minister of lying before parliament. france claims that the only weapons authorized for export to
5:50 am
israel are for purely defensive purposes, but activists say there is a lack of transparency in the arms export information which the government declassifies, and an overall lack of honesty. and in very bad taste. how on earth can we possibly believe that machine guns are defensive weapon? however, this is very much in keeping with the national policy, which is total. nations to follow suit. multiple top ngos say that france is violating international treaties it has signed by continuing to supply military equipment to israel, even though it seems
5:51 am
clear that these arms are being used to commit genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes. the complicity of france with the israeli genocidal regime is continuing even despite the emotion and the... generated by the mass murder of tens of thousands of people in gaza. we shouldn't be fooled when paris rarely and only rarely modifies its tone slightly towards tel aviv, because its actions are 99% against the palestinians. the french arms dealers, eurolinks, since 1950 have supplied the french army with weapons parts for use in places like algeria, vietnam and elsewhere is expected to come under massive local. in the coming weeks. press tv, paris. nearly six months into the us-israely genocidal war on
5:52 am
the gaza strip and a recent poll shows support for the resistance remains high amongst palestinians. according to the latest data, two thirds of palestinians believe that the october 7th alaxa flood operation was a correct move. in our explainer program, we took a closer look at the issue. well, it's been close to six months since the october 7th operation alloh flood. does the palestinian resistance group hamas still maintain popular support, and what about the future of palestine? what is the best way forward? those questions were posed through pull conducted by the palestinian center for policy and survey research, psr. now most of the questions asked in the first quarter of 2024. revolved around the october 7th offensive, the question of armed struggle against the israeli regime, popularity of hamas versus the palestinian authorities, fatah movement and the future of palestine,
5:53 am
including the gaza strip. when it comes to hamas's decision to launch the october 7th offensive, vast majority, that's 71% compared to 72% in december 2023, say that it was a correct move. says the support in the west bank drops by 11% and yet it is increased in the gaz strip by 14%. on the october 7th operation, comparing respondents who watched videos to those who did, 19% believe hamas committed atrocities compared to 81% who didn't think so. meanwhile, amongst the ones that didn't watch the videos, more than 97% believe that hamas did not commit any atrocities against. israeli civilians and only 3% said it did. it's worth noting that the chair of israel's civil commission, she
5:54 am
was the one who had said that hamas committed mass rapes and she's now been exposed as a fraud even by israel. it turns out that this civil commission described by the white house, as if it were an official israeli body does not even exist. another point of the poll was what palestinians consider the most vital goals. 42% believe and end to the israeli occupation in the areas occupied in 1967 and a palestinian state in the west bank and the gaza strip without loots as its capital should be the first goal. by contrast, 33% believe the right of return of refugees to their 1948 towns and villages should be the first goal. in light of the increase in settler terrorist attacks against palestinian towns and villages, the pole asked uh, what means are most effective in combatting the regime forces? the largest
5:55 am
percentage, 41%, chose the formation of armed groups, 23% chose to deploy palestinian police forces, another 23%, they chose the israeli army to take measures and only 8% chose unarmed groups to protect their areas. this is very important since the attacks by the regime forces in the west bank have increased dramatically since october the 7th, the uh operation alasa flood, the total killed is 360, while the number arrested is 7,350, the number of incursions, especially in refugee camps, well that's going on a daily basis, and now to the support for the two-state solution, the poll indicated 61% believe the two states... solution is no longer practical due to settlement expansion, but 37% believe that it's still practical. moreover, 72% believe that the chances for an
5:56 am
independent palestinian state alongside israel in the next five years are slim or non-existent, and 27% believe the chances are medium or high. and finally, if new parliamentary elections were held today, with the participation of all political forces that participated in the 2006 elections, only 64% say they would participate in them. 30% would vote for hamas, 14. for fatah 6% for third parties and 15% remain undecided among the voters support for hamas stands at 47%, fata 22%, third parties 9% and the undecided at 24%. and with that we come to the end of this bulletin. thank you for being with us, take care and bye-bye.
5:57 am
how designs come from across the world to palestine to occupy a land belonging to another nation, how do they form their secret army, hagana? how do they grab lands belonging to palestinians? how do they build and expand their illegal settlements? israel's former prime minister, goldomir answers these and more questions in this documentary.
