the besieg strip, some 62 palestinians have been killed and scores more injured in israeli air strikes and shelling over the past 24 hours. the regime's forces also continued with their aerial raids on the city of hanjunis in southern gaza. they say that the majority of these attacks were focused on the al-amal neighborhood, leaving number of people dead. meanwhile, palestinian fighters are putting stiff resistance to israely troops on the ground in some areas. they have attacked israeli soldiers and vehicles. with mortars in eastern and southern parts of gaza city. according to the gaza health ministry, the death sold from the israeli war has now topped 33,000. over 75,600 palestinians have also been wounded, while thousands more remain unaccounted for. the head of the charity organization, doctors without borders, has slam the israeli regime for the quote, deliberate attack on the aid workers. christopher lokier was. referring to an in

israeli strike on monday that kills seven international aid workers associated with a us-based charity world central kitchen in the gazas room. like listen: humanitarian workers are protected, iffs, no buts. we do not accept the narrative of regrettable incidents. we do not accept it because what has happened to world central kitchen and msf's convoys and shelters. is part of the same pattern of deliberate attacks on humanitarians, health workers, journalists, un personnel, schools and homes. this is not just about implementing effective deconflection mechanism. our movements and locations are shared, coordinated and identified already. this is about impunity, total disregard for the laws of war, and now it must become about accountability. it not only shows the failure of deconfliction measures, it shows theut. these measures in a

war fought with no rules, that these attacks on humanitarian workers are allowed to happen is a political choice. israel faces no political cost, instead, its allies enable this brutality with impunity and provide even of more weapons that mame and kill civilians indiscriminately. the spokesman of the algos, the military wing of the islamic jihad movement says: resistance is is determined to continue the alaxa flood operation until the final victory. abu hamza said the resistance operations on the ground reflect is full rejection of the israel plan to occupy the gaza strip. he added that the axis of resistance is now repelling the israel regime's attacks in gaza, west bank and lebanon. in a statement released on thursday, the algos brigade said it had targeted two israeli contingents in the southern city of hanjunes, some israeli military equipment and vehicles in including a tank and a drone were

also hit in the same city, the israeli military has already confirmed the deaths of nearly 260 of his troops since the regime's ground invasion of gaza. palestinian. groups however say the regime is hiding the actual number of his casualties to avoid public anger. author and journalist robert fina believes that israel does not want to cease fire in the gaza strip, let's take a listen. israel government doesn't want to see fire agreement of any kind, because that would prevent them from slaughtering the rest of the population of gaza and being able to annex gaza. trip, which is what they want to do, they will continue to uh to to annihilate the people there, to destroy the infrastructure all under the myth of protecting themselves from what they refer to as existential threat. it is palestine, not israel that is facing an existential threat,

but that's exactly why the israeli government will not, will not move towards a ceasefire, because they want to end palestine and major step. doing that is annexing gaza, and in order to do that, they have to destroy the people of gaza or drive them out into egypt into refugee camps, as was done uh, 75 years ago, and many of those people have been unable, most of those people have been unable to return despite the uh international guarantee that that they can, but israel is not has never been a a reasonable partner for in so-called negotiations which are ridiculous. "and it's not a reasonable partner now in looking for a cease fire because a ceasfire is not its goal. israel knows that whatever it wants to do, the united states will back it financially and diplomatically and militarily. this is a policy of the united states that has been ongoing for decades, that makes no sense. the

united states is coming down again on the wrong side of history and will be associated with genocide for decades and decades to come. the senior..." mass representative in lebanon has slamed the israeli atrocities in the gaza strip calling on palestinians escalate acts of resistance against the regime, a proof of the unity and cohesion of our people around the option of resistance as a only legitimate means for liberation and return, and we call for this to continue and to further escalate this resistance against the enemy and the blatant crime committed by the zionist enemy against the al-shif medical compound and the medical teams and the unarmed civilians and ill and those who were with them and the displaced in the hospital

and in the surroundings of the hospital, over a period of two weeks will continue to witness the brutality and sabatry of this enemy which we have tried osama hamdan said a press conference that all the plans of the enemy against gaza will be destroyed in the face of palestinian resistance. he also mentioned the israely attack on charity workers in gaza, saying that the strike shows the depth of israel's brutality as the regime keeps violating all international norms and laws. the senior mass official condemned the continued us support for israel saying that washington is responsible for televives crimes against palestinians. on the notion of talks for a possible cease fire, he stress that any deal must lead to an end to the onslot on gaza and the withdrawal of israeli forces from the territory. speaking on the eve of the international guds day, hamdan called for worldwide rallies in solidarity with the palestinian people. the leader of

iran's islamic revolution has held prayers over the bodies of the seven iranian military advisers killed in israel's monday attack on iran's embassy in syria. ayatollah khamani prayed. over the bodies after meeting with the families of the marties. the bodies arrived in tehran from syria's capital earlier on thursday. the official funeral ceremony will be held on friday, which coincides with international quds day. the israely attack killed two senior iranian military commanders and five accompanying officers who were on an advisory mission to syria. when palestinian journalist shirin abu agile was killed by an israeli sniper on may 11, 2022, the israelis meant to get across a clear message that they don't want any

narrative other than their own under decades old occupation of palestinian lands and their aggression. it wasn't the first time. is really sought to put gag on the alternative narrative, and every time it has failed. watch the history of the israeli measures. and palestinian counter measures in this documentary. welcome back, international goods day is annual pro-palestinian event held on the last friday of the holy month of ramadan. the day was designated by the founder of the islamic republic of iran, imam khamaini in 1979 in solidarity with palestinians. people worldwide would mark this year's goods day on the coming friday. our correspondent in rome max chevilli has

asked some citizens about the event and its importance in the muslim world. let's take a listen. i think that kuds day is of great importance, particularly this year, in the light of what has been happening in gaza and in the west bank over the past six months. it would be ideal if all countries, not just the muslim ones, unite in solidarity with the palestinians and celebrate. to its day, since the 1979 revolution, iran has been close to palestinians, imam komaini was also visionary politician, he made the right decision 45 years ago by declaring the last friday of every ramadan as kuds day. in 1979, palestinians in the future. imam komaini already knew that the palestinians would be forgotten on. the international scale, that they would be left alone, so he made sure

that they would always have the support of iran and its allies by proclaiming court's day as an annual day of solidarity against the yusuf, israel, i am an italian lebanese citizen, born in italy but raised in southern lebanon, we must remain close to all palestinians now that they are facing a genocidal war by israel day. 'all muslim express their solidarity to the palestinians and everybody protest against tyrants and voices support of an oppressed people who have been displaced from their homes during the past 75 years. the peoples of the world have finally understood what is going on in gaza. obviously most muslims already knew how tragic the situation is for the palestinians. every human being who believes in justice and freedom, respects human rights, should mark could stay. imam komeini'.

yemen correspondent abdul latifa washali has talked to people insane about the event and its importance in the muslim world. international huts day is a day when muslims show their interest in the key issue of the islamic world, which is palestine, especially. for yemenis, every day has become a quds day since the beginning of of flood operation, al-quds is in the hearts and minds of yemenis, not only through the

demonstrations, but also through missiles and drones that hit israel's ailot port and its maritime navigation. international cods day represents the conscience of humanity in this time full time of crimes. alqs is the focus of resistance, and we must mark this day. this year's international cots day is very important since the israeli war has claimed the lives of more than international kuds day is considered a day of awareness for the arab and muslim nations to remind them of their central issue which is palestine. what is happening today in gaza proves the importance the goods day. the world must be reminded of the operation against the palestinian people and the hostility of the zionist entity. when amaini designated this day, he made palestine pivotal issue for the... arab and muslim nations by raising awareness on coats. palestine is the issue of muslims and imam

komaini designated the last friday of ramadan as code's day so that people could express their views about palestine. he looked at the reality of palestine and its wounds and pains and found that some nations had turned away from this cause, so it was necessary to remind them of palestine. international quds day is a day when muslims affirm the unity to defend. the palestinian cause and islamic sanctities, marking this day shows that the islamic resistance will not forget the palestinian issue. the freedom of the people will not materialize without the liberation of pales. on the eve of the international goods day, ivan has once again calls for a referendum in the occupied palestinian territories to resolve the century old issue the region. in a statement published online, iran's foreign minister said tehran believes that the palestinian question should be resolved through a referendum amongst all

original inhabitants of palestine that includes christians, muslims and jews. hussein amir abdullah yon said lasting peace in the region can only be achieved by addressing the root causes of the problem. he noted that al-a flood operation was in response to israel's 75 years of occupation and continuous crimes against palestinians. iran's top diplomat is the international community and muslim states to take practical steps to end the israeli crimes. he also blamed the us for the continuation of the war on gaza and obstruction of efforts to end it. the kremlin spokesman says nato continues to expand this military presence towards the russian borders. the criticism comes as the us that alliance is considering more military aid for ukraine. earlier we discussed the topic in our news review program. let's listen to what our guests had to say. gramen

smoksman says the relations between russia and the nato military alliance has reached a level of quote direct confrontation. dimitri peskov said the members of the u.s. let alliance are already in continuous movement towards russia's borders through their involvements in the ukraine conflict. moscow has clearly stated that the war with ukraine aimed to prevent the western alliance from approaching russian borders. the military alliance enlarged to 32 members by accepting finland and sweden in the past. nato has been helping ukraine with advanced weapons, training and intelligence. the military blocks members are now discussing plans for more than $100 million of further military aid for kiev. ukraine has also been seeking to join nato in recent years, which could escalate the tensions between russia and the west to even higher level. don the bar is

radio host and journalist at cpr news joining us from new york. we also have greg simmons an independent researcher and like lot for a commitment to perhaps be pondering there by nato to give to ukraine, what are your thoughts on that? depends on what you're measuring it against, let's start with what was russia's annual military budget, this big threat to world peace prior to this... war that began earnest in february of 2022, $65 billion a year, that there's actually no country in the world that has a budget of more than $100 billion a year for their military except the us and china. china is about 250 billion for its entire military to protect one and a half billion people, so

from that measure a billion a hund billion dollars is an awful lot of money. let's look at it however. from the cost to the people that are paying it in the united states and presumably in the eu, with $100 billion dollars, you could solve the homeless problem in the united states entirely, there'd be no more homelessness in the united states rather than tens of thousands of people living in the streets and every major city, you could solve the hunger problem in the entire world for five years with 100 billion dollars, you 9 million people a year die of starvation in the world. every year, you could solve that problem, so it's a lot of money, indeed, it's quite, i shouldn't say surprising greg simmons, but it's somewhat, i don't know, what to call it, to say that nato has done this before trump comes comes on board, i mean we're looking at eight months now, if that were to happen, and between now and e months from now, including april, lot of

things could happen when it comes to nato and russia, given this uh aid we're to have. or not, we're still looking at the tensions there that keep ratcheting up uh, what type of uh confrontations do you for see or where do you see this going in terms of the military aspect of it? well, i think the main problem is the level of unpredictability, and the unpredictability comes from the collective west, because what you have here is a bunch of mediocre politicians at. the it seems their egos are worth more uh than a major military confrontation that nato initiates with russia uh so this level of

emotional uh investment in it uh from them makes it very unpredictable the predictability comes from russia which has been uh to date i'd say rather restrained uh and um very... cautious about these constant provocations uh which have been used to try and irritate russia. all right, thank you very much. let me thank our guest don davar, radio host and journalist at cpr news and also greg simmonster independent research researcher and author. thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this news review. welcome back, pakistan's authorities have detained dozens of individuals in the aftermath of a protest where demonstrated chanting anti-israel slogans set fire to a kfc restaurant in pakistan's administ

already seeing the impact on the economy on the financial decline of mcdonald's and bacon. it's huge, even in some countries, in arab countries, those outlets are being closed because nobody is buying it. the ongoing genocide in gaza has fueled anger and frustration among people worldwide, prompting calls for byycots against entities believe to support israel financially or politically. we got is something that we are, you know what, this is what we feel from our heart from inside that we don't want to support their economy, we don't want to support the companies that are supporting the israeli soldiers, so for that we need to boycott, i know this is not a permanent solution but we have to boycott authorities are now faced with the challenge. of managing the fall out from the incident and preventing further escalation of tensions. as temples run high in pakistan due to the call for bicotting pro

difficult, this is an argument for stepping off for our sporting down.

every news channel claims that it covers the latest breaking news as we do, so that alone is not what sets press tv apart. what means stream news outlets conveniently leave out with breaking news from around the world. we are here to bring to you, we fill in the blanks. we are the other side of the story, the less represented side of the story. we are tellers of inconvenient truths. while

they continue to silence our website, our live broadcast, and our social media platforms are persistent, always perseveres and it makes you wonder what is it we're saying that they don't want you to hear? we are the shadow band, we are the censored, we are the voice of the voiceless, we are press tv. the sovereignty and territorial integrity of member states.
