the palestinian islamic jihad movement meeting with iran's foreign minister hussen to discuss the latest developments in and the ongoing genocidal war, and later, taking to the same podium as the political bureau chief of hamas ismail hania took less than a week ago to thank iran for playing an important role in supporting the resistance of the palestinian people. the palestinian resistance has always been supported by iran, which has paid the prize for constantly defending palestinian's rights. iran's active dep. played a leading role in clarifying the position of palestine's resistance, and the palestinian people will eventually achieve final victory in their fight against israel, they will be a model for all the people of the world. words that echo comments made by

ismail hannah who is also in tehran for high-level talks. both officials have met with iran's leader ayatollah said ali khamenei and other. high ranking officials, including the iranian president. these meetings with high ranking iranian officials show that iran plays a significant role as a consulting party. it also shows the high level of coordination between iran and the axis of resistance, sending a clear message that iran will always support palestine. meanwhile, these meetings in tehran come after a un security council resolution calling for immediate ceasefire in. as the us for the first time abstained from the vote, leaving israel isolated. the timing of the the visits by senior palestinian officials to tehran is quite significant, given that in the course of time, what we have been seeing in the other front, meaning between israel

and its allies, including the united states, is a division among them, and we're seeing that israel are losing political and international support day by day. there are issues related to the future of gaza, future the war and some political efforts in order to establish sess fire uh in palestine, and i think those are important. issues which can be and have been raised and discussed in the meetings held in tehran. the presence of palestinian officials in tehran is a clear display of unity a time when the international community is showing more solidarity with palestinians than ever before. yusuf, tehran. in today's show, we'll be covering the growing. popularity of cudsday and the frantic efforts of zionist extremists to undermine and sabotage it.

well, it tells you that the uh intend to intimidate, bully and harass any organization that gets in their way, and they intend to be able to occupy those organizations, so that's it's been saying, these were organizations which did it off their own bat, the designers didn't even have to lift finger in some some cases, because the organizations took each other to court, they contacted every... uh non brown named person individual um back in 2017 saying you worked for an anti-semite, how do you feel about it? but they didn't contact anyone with a brown sounding name, which shows uh where they're coming from really, but yeah it really does take it out of you, but thanks to friends, thanks to supporters, thanks to people like yourselves who've gone through what you guys have gone through, you no that energy helps. welcome

back paul's open in turkey's local elections where people vote to choose mayors and provincial council members across the country's 81 provinces, turkey's capital ankara and main city, istanbul will be the key battlegrounds between the ruling justice and development party and the opposition. president typ erdogan has described istanbul as the national jewel and hopes is act party. gains the city after losing it to republican people's party in 2019. it's believed that istanbul's mayor ekram will be the main challenger to the ruling party in the 2028 presidential vote if re-elected. rasonstagram is our correspondent in istanbul, she tells us about the significance of the elections in turkey more and more. people are flocking to this polling station where i am located now in the heart of istanbul in bishiktash

district. um, lot of people are coming to cast their votes, elderly, youth, people who are voting for the first time. i spoke to some people who are voting for the first time, and they said that they are keen to cast their votes because this is their democratic right. for turkish people, this is very important, it is, it may seem like local election to pick mayor of a province or - a council, however it is very important because they think that this deals with their everyday life, their crisis that they're living in their provinces, for example in istanbul, the new mayor will have to solve lot of issues, we have of course the cost of living a problem, we have the traffic transportation problems, healthcare system, we also have the expected istanbul earthquake uh that both political parties have been campaigning that they will work on plan to avoid uh losses during the expected istanbul earthquake uh now speaking to people, they

are enthusiastic about uh the the results of this uh election. people across the world are continuing to display their support for the people in gaza as the regime presses ahead with its genocide in the besege stripped us cities of new york and seattle were the scene of some of the latest such demonstrations. so we are here to say that we refuse to be complicited in this genocide, we oppose the us government's complicity in funding and enabling this genocide, and we are here to commemorate. the protesters called for a

cease fire in gaza and an end to the israeli occupation of palestinian territories, a protest was held on the palestinian land day, that's an annual commemoration of the deadly 1967 crackdown by israeli forces on protest against the regime's land seizures. gun was also marked in new york city where police forces clashed with protesters and made arrests, the demonstrators torched and israeli flag and called uh for an end to us military support for israel. pro-palestinian protests were also held elsewhere across the world, including in london and belfast. it was the 11th time the british capital had played host to another national demonstration against the us lead israeli genocide of palestinians inside gaza. coincidentally, this march was taking place on auspicious day

for palestinians. march 30th is commemorated as land day. tamar the 1976 israeli killing of six. palestinians and the wounding of scores more who had gathered to show their affinity for a land that has literally witnessed the constant shedding of palestinian blood. in an act of solidarity with palestine, central london showed it would not be letting up on the pressure. and they come in waves after waves after waves, tens of thousands taking to the streets of the british capital in a very clear message to the leaders within air shots of hair that what is going on in. decide gaza is a genocide and it will not be taking place with the complicity of the british people. flash forward to this most recent attempt to ethnically cleanse palestine of its people, and it's clear the uk is being blasted for its complicity in allowing a ceasefire motion to go unacknowledged by tel aviv. we're calling sease fire, but they're saying for a cease fire for two weeks to end the ramadan.

that hasn't even happened yet, so the question always becons, what does internationally mean, how much? how much power does the un really hold? how much power does our government hold to hold israel's account? why is our government not imposing sanctions on israel? that's what we need. we see a genocide continuing, we see new icj ruling ask for aid to be delivered, none of it's happening. where our government, where is our government? where our politicians speak up for international law and international justice? they've been millions across the world who have taken to the streets to make it clear, it is the rulers, the rulers who are complicit, countries like the us. countries like the uk who could easily stop this by just not selling arms, stop the provision of arms, withdraw it, and in that way, israel has other option. a comparatively small counter demo by pro israel supporters was peacefully drowned out by pro-palestinians. the protesters taken part in the demo had a variety of reasons why

their presence on the marches mattered. we we just want to bring this bring this conflict into the consciousness of. everyone, so everyone understands what's going on here, you know, children being slaughtered, you know, women being slaughtered, the schools and hospitals just completely completely destroyed, you know, it's it's it's just inhumane, it's just beyond imagination, we have to stop this, we have to, don't you, no one can, no one can be blind to what's happening, it has to stop, it has. to stop, showing ourselves like this, demonstrating how horrified and outraged we are, and then boycott israel, this has to be constant pressure, uh, eventually there will come a time where where you know then we we'll get what we're asking for, i think the evidence is like undeniable, demonstrators have

pledged to keep turning out in the streets to protest against the genocide in gaza. until there's a cessation of violence and justice for palestinians. amina taylor, press tv, london. on saturday afternoon, thousands attended the rally to support the people and the resistance in gaza, outside the city hall in northern island's capital, belfast. the protest has commemorated the palestinians land day and marked the sixth anniversary of the great return march when aparted israel slaughtered. palestinians in gaza, the message of the rally was, we must keep marching until the genocide ends. uh, make sure every saturday and sometimes every sunday, the people of belfast and northern ireland show their massive solidarity with palestine. the government of ireland has recently announced support for south africa's case against israel at international court of

justice. however, most participants and speakers were critical of irish politicians. before the... we issued the call uh not to entertain or legitimize joe biden uh by the largest three political parties who is going to america irish political parties finigail and chimpan they continued in their journey and went to their we consider that is legitimizing of genocide jo. people of belfast harshly criticized shin fain's attendance at the white house in march. politics in general has not done enough to stop uh apparatite israel, they haven't um they haven't pushed for sease fire nearly hard enough um regardless of what their positions are other active also called out the republican party shin hupocrates who went to drawn or shamrocks on st. patrick's day in washington with genal joe baiden by

palestinians are journing in their own blood in the rubble underneath the bombs dropped uh by america via uh israel positions of irish politicians are not reflective of their people support for palestine as displayed by numerils on the international wall. belfast to mark land day and the 6th anniversary of the great return march, thousand assemble outside city hall in belfast, while the support for the people and the resistance in gaza is visible on the streets of belfast, the speakers and participants of the march were also critical of irish politicians and parties. they say their support for palestine is hypocritical, because it only serves their own electoral ambitions. reporting for press tv from belfast. march 31st is pivotal date in iran's modern history, marking the 45th
