5:47 pm
they request you to take the ring off, and so that they say that this these weapons are hidden in this magnet. what we see here, these boxes, this was filmed by the camera lensers as they were placing these boxes in the hospital, they brought them in, and the images reveal this, if you take a close look, at the next image, if you please muhammad, now we'll see the image, this is the image of the boxes which they were carrying inside the hospital, and this was what on the box, so the enemy is carrying the weapons it gathers
5:48 pm

5:49 pm
brought into the hospital, then they so they show weapons elsewhere, they display them in the magnet. and then they display them elsewhere, then they display them here on the ground, to give the impression that they have discovered all this, this is what they discovered, and then at the same time they speak about a command and control center and a central headquarters, and they also show a small packet of dates to say that this was part of their preparations and air equipment. the other scandal is the laptop. the computer, first of all, they show the laptop, and they alleged that this image shows that this is used by the qassam brigades and then they discovered that this is unbelievable, and so they delete that image, they deleted that image from their page to reproduce the
5:50 pm
images once again, this was a way to conceal. this scandal or what they did, so this these theatrical acts which the occupation has resorted to reveal clearly the real aim of this operation. it is an operation of mythological lying. we respond, if we want to respond, we say that they do not, we do not accept this story, but we reveal these lies, our enemy is not qualified. to be a judge and enemy at the same time, and so for this reason we call on the united nations and international organizations, and two weeks ago we called on them to form an international committee to take a look at the real situation, hospitals and to take a close look at the lies of the occupation, because we know that this occupation will resort to lying and fabrications and creating stories,
5:51 pm
and we believe that it is possible after it's been revealed the lies of the occupation, we believe it's still possible that they might create other stories which they might promote or use to promote more lies. now in light of these this scandal, we hold the occupation and its leaders and president biden and his administration direct responsibility for this crime and for all the crimes committed against our women, children and armed armed civilians who are being killed by american weapons and with a cover provided by president biden his administration and we hold the pentagon the war department in the united states directly we hold the directly responsible for what happening. a shifer hospital because this department provided a complete cover for this operation after a statement that issued just hours later whereby it said that there is intelligence
5:52 pm
information regarding the presence of a commander control center in the shefat hospital does this leadership of view what is happening regarding the killing of women and innocent people this statement reveals the sick mind of this administration which is helping the occupation in buying in order to kill more women, children and un-armed civilians, the real image of the crime of the occupation in the shift hospital didn't stop here, these are the real people who were targeted in this operation, children wounded, these people whom we see dying, every hour we see children dying because of the electricity, being cut off, and the wounded also being transported from one place to one, brother to flee death, this is the real situation, this is really what is happening, and it reveals the true nature of the occupation, we once again say that the goal
5:53 pm
the occupation by striking the hospitals and the bakeries, in addition to cutting off water and to preventing the basic necessities of life, all of this is in order to carry out the plan of forcing our people to be displaced, but their efforts will not achieve results and they will be thwarted god willing, we remind the... and the united nations and the red cross and all of the international organizations, those who know and are silent and do not hold the occupation responsible for these crimes and the racial ethnic cleansing in gaza that the occupation has forced 35 hospitals to stop functioning, it is still cutting off electricity and fuel is preventing medical supplies from reaching all of the hospitals and medical and remaining medical installations and it exposing all of the sick people to danger as what it did in the irontise hospital when it
5:54 pm
forced the medical teams to leave under the threat of arms and left the children to die in cold blood, where are these international organizations regarding what the occupation is doing, where is it legal and ethical responsibilities to protect, history will hold those who do not play their role. will hold them accountable and will not be mercy, merciful towards those who stood with the zionas and the americans and their violations of international and human laws. second of all regarding the rafa crossing and the humanitarian crossings, we are still waiting for the implementation of the decision of the arab league on the oic, which calls for breaking the siege and allowing food and fuel and medical supplies to enter immediately, and i underscore the word immediately. it's been six days since this decision. was reached, we also extend our thanks and appreciation to the countries which provided assistance to us and sent this assistance to
5:55 pm
egypt in order for it to enter into the ghaza strip, and we call on all the countries and the arab and islamic countries and friendly nations to exert pressure on washington so that medical supplies and fuel could enter and to reject anything which is controlled by the enemy or the occupation to prevent this. or these supplies which are natural right for the palestinian people to allow this to pass through the crossing, regarding the crossings which the enemy alleges that they are safe, this is an example of what the occupation is doing at the crossings and with the people who believe that they are safe. this man who is 75 years old, he is moving through the safe crossing, shows his image as if it's helping him and it takes his image image to promote it, but then he was shocked as he was lying down, and hence fell as amati, this is:
5:56 pm
an image for the occupation and there's a precedent, it was repeated in 2014 with materialya, the same image, an elderly woman and the occupation came and took the photo as if to show that they're supporting them, and then they kill them and they fall as marties. this is the image of the occupation forces trying to show that they are giving them water, and then here we see she is a marty. as she was shot, this was in 2014, this occupation has force has not changed, it will not change until it comes to an end, and here we call on the una and united nations to take their legal and international responsibilities to preserve the lives and the wellbeing of the displaced, there is a clear responsibility on the shoulders of these bodies, not just in this in southern gazza, but also in northern gazza, northern
5:57 pm

5:58 pm
nazi. occupation are trying to put pressure on our heroic prisoners and to prevent them from accessing their most basic basic rights as prisoners, and there are different forms of nazi practices, psychological and physical harm against the prisoners, by the way, the minister who called for dropping nuclear bomb on the gaza strip is the member in the of the party of bengafir, this nazi ben ghaffer and his neonazi partners must realize whether they like... or not that our heroes will be liberated from captivity, we will not stop until they are liberated and they enjoy freedom, this is our pledge, a pledge we made to ourselves and we will not back down. number four, the international efforts and the solidarity with our people, we highly appreciate the popular movements which are still ongoing in all capitals of the world,
5:59 pm
in solidarity with our palestin. people and in rejection of the aggression and the genocide which is being committed by the neonazis in gazza, and together, we will confront these evil criminals who threaten the world with chaos. this is sacred mission on the responsibilities of everyone, and we are certain that together we shall achieve success in putting a stop to this brutality, and we will protect mankind from these evil. and victory will only come after the end of this occupation and so therefore we once again call on the arab and islamic peoples and all the free people to continue with their movement and their protest in the upcoming days and to have large participation in front of the american and zionist embassies until the aggression comes to a stop and until the genocide and war ends against the women children and civilians in
