1:42 pm
example, back in the uh early 15, 1600s, when europeans came to united states, they brought with them spolpacks and other diseases, because the the native people, could not deal with such diseases, now israel is doing something similar, they stop. the running, there's no more running water, sewing system has collapsed, drinking water is polluted, basically they want to exterminate the people of gaza, they want to get rid of them by spreading disease, you spread the disease, you destroy hospitals, you destroy the health sector, you got it, people will not be able to survive, they have no proper food to uh to boost their immune system, the water is polluted, air is polluted, the ground is polluted, no hospitals. "that's the combination for total disaster, this what the israeli regime is doing, they want to make
1:43 pm
sure that after this war ends and definitely one day this war will ends, we don't know when, but after this war ends, they don't want the people in gaza to have any place to go to in the ghaza strip, they want to make it unleavable, the un said back in 2015, 2016 that the ghaza strip will be unlivable by the year 2020, well in 41 days israel literally. made gaza unlivable in 2023 and live images that we're showing now, ashraf from uh northern gaza is white plums of smoke rising through the air, these white plums of smoker an indicator that the band substance white phosphorus is being used against the defenseles people of gaza, we already had confirmation uh for example in uh the jabalia refugee camp where uh the white phosphorus bombs uh had been used in highly populated residential areas, what are the effects of
1:44 pm
white phosphorus, what makes it so dangerous and uh what happens when women and children they come into contact with this deadly deadly substance? well, but the israelis are using army is using two types of of projectiles that cause white smoke if it's a general white... smoke, that's white smoke to cover for the israeli forces uh movement on the ground. now if that white smoke looks like tentacles, then that's white phosphorus. white phosphorus, the moment it touches someone's body, it keeps burning until it goes through their bones, white phosphorus lives on oxygen and and as long as it is exposed to air, it keeps burning almost forever and will cause severe burns, mean the... lightest injury from white phosphorus can cause uh permanent scars, then you can
1:45 pm
imagine what happens if you get in direct contact with white phosphorus, it will mutulate the person's body forever. all right, we're going to leave it there, uh or corresponent joining us uh from hann unes in southern gaza, stay safe, ashraf. israel's opposition leader is called on prime minister benyamin netanyahu to step down a mid growing discontent over his handling of the recent crisis. year lapid said, netanyahu should tender the resignation without delay, as the cabinet can't be led by a person wh israelis have lost faith in, the ruling lakud party has slammed um, the call as unfortunate and shameful, but even opinion pulls show growing outrage against netanyahu and his regime, rifts are widening in israel's political circle since the operation alasa flood by the hamamas resistance moving on october the 7th, after the operation lapid rejected to join an emergency cabinet meeting accusing israeli
1:46 pm
leads of an unpardonable failure. in the past months israel had seen mass demonstration. against the regime's judicial overhall, netanyahu was accused of pushing for the controversial reform to curb the power of judiciary, as he is facing graft charges. the situation in gaza is worsening by the hour, that as international bodies hesitate to take serious action to stop israel. our correspondent rashan has talked with turkish residents who believe that unified muslim front can put an end to the israeli regime's ongoing massac. israel'i destekliyor, in fact, what is happening is massacre, israelis have occupied palestine, they have seased palestinians and started killing them, therefore all people, not just muslims, need to stand against this injustice. they are now doing to the arabs what hitler did to them. now, even if i'm at home eating or drinking,
1:47 pm
i find it hard to swallow, knowing there are innocent civilians being killed brutally, the world is silent in the... israel is a criminal terrorist state, but the reason why israel continues to commit these atrocities is that muslims are divided, and if they unite, no one can harm them. turkey is doing its best, but it cannot enter the war alone. this is unrealistic. european civilization is fake civilization and has no credibility. leaders of arab countries all know who they are affiliated with, american and jewish parties, that's why there is nothing we can do, but if muslims unite, they can beat any force. ben kendi shahsım i a 70 year old woman and i want to go there, but unfortunately the laws and interest of the state are different, they are trying to solve
1:48 pm
the issue in conferences, while the number of marters is increasing, this is not something that state that aims at murdering muslims, hopefully god will take our revenge from them. turkey is doing its best, but other countries do not support turkey. if arab countries stood with other muslim countries, they could have solved this issue, but unfortunately arab countries are busy with their music concerts. turkey alone cannot do anything, but one day ' this situation is unacceptable, in islam we are taught not to kill ant, and how can we watch humans being killed like this for god sake, so we must lend them a helping hand. muslim countries must unite to stop this genocide. general
