6:00 pm
women, children and civilians in the gaza strip, glory be to the martys of our people and the marties of our um and the marties of the resistance on the quds, i pray that the wounded are also once once again on their back on their own two feet and god will be with our people, it is either victory or martidom, if there are any questions. inaudible, regarding the security council resolution, first of all, i must say that the occupation rejected this resolution, so the occupation, as usual, just it always rejects all resolutions, it rejected this one, this is the true nature, this has always been the situation of the enemy which is supported by the... and we want the security council to
6:01 pm
of reach a resolution which condemns the massacres against civilians and to take a decision to put an end to the ongoing massacre against the inhabitance of ghaza a clear resolution and so therefore we underscore the necessity to take decisive action to allow medical supplies and all of forms of assistance to enter gaza north and south, because this is a right guaranteed by international human law, this international humanitarian law, this is what we hope to will be achieved, and this is a test for the international will and confronting the occupation. again, inaudible, the question, and there is no center or control room
6:02 pm
a of for hamas in this hospital, we avoid all the hospitals all the time, israel is that about rantisi hospital and they were lying, they've said that about al-quds hospital and realized that they were lying and now everyone is watching their lies even with the support of the united states administration which is very silly and stupid believe netanyahu who is aliah and everyone knows that talking about the uh not i can't accept term hostages they are kept there in gaza we started. by
6:03 pm
saying we are read ready to release them, in fact we want to release them and send them back, although they are not in the hands of hamas, but we were work in order to bring them from everywhere in gaza, there was no conditions, in fact at the beginning netanyahu himself reject to have them, we sent two americans, and then we sent two israelis, even with the rejection of netanyahu and his government, we have reached approximately, conclusion three times before through the mediators and each timenyahu undermines that, so if anyone wants to see of them back, he has to make his own pressure on netanyahu, no one else. i recall for the families and for the people who loves them, they have to push hard on netanyahu and his criminal government so they can have their beloved people back. thank you. there in uh
6:04 pm
beirout and lebanon assama hamdan speaking and he uh talked about the shifa scenario where it comes to the uh obviously breaking of international laws and norms uh regarding that um in terms of the highlights what i can tell you is that he had some props uh which pointed towards the uh way that uh the israeli regime forces were... planting uh different types of military equipment of all places inside what he called the uh magnetic room, that's the x-ray room where he says in a x-ray room they can't operate when you have uh um machine guns inside that room including ammunition overall he said with um pictures that showed what israel had done that israel was lying that they had brought in these military equipment uh from outside of the alshafa hospital he slamed the us for supporting uh the regime forces on this and of
6:05 pm
um there was also a case of the laptop where he said how they were uh they had also lied about what was shown on that in terms of the image there and uh he said that israel is just lying when it come hospital that none of the things that they have presented point towards a command and control center and at the end there we heard about the captus where he says uh we want to release them three times there have been uh solutions uh but uh nataniau rejected it. we'll give you more in our international news. let's return now back to uh press tv's regular programming um mideast files i believe is next. in line with the basic plan to displace all the inhabitants of the gaza strip. washington is basically telling palestinians to leave or die. the resistance in the gaza strip has already made it clear that it will not compel anyone to stay or move from the north to the south. the resistance already views this proposal as additional us support for the zinist regime since it does not provide a
6:06 pm
comprehensive cessation of military operations and prohibits the provision of genuine humanitarian support to the gaza population. the zionist regime is now requesting more time to achieve field accomplishments that... would present the israeli occupation army with an image of victory. they emphasized that the idea of displacing the population of the gaza strip to the south practically means clearing the way for the occupation army to launch a more intensive destructive operation in the entire north, absolving them of any accountability for the carnage under the pretext of the absence of civilians. the israeli entities's rejection of the seasfire is not only related to the military situation, but also to pressure the resistance forces. to release number of israeli entity settler detainees without any reciprocation. this announced temporary ceasefire does not even align with the essence of the ongoing talks on multiple levels, including discussions in cairo with the delegation of the hamas leadership and meetings in daha between the cia director
6:07 pm
william burns, matsat chief david burna and qatari prime minister muhammad bin abdul rahman althani. what the americans haven't explicitly stated is that the one-sided ceasefires and potential. agreements come as result of us pressure primarily stemming from the failure of the israeli occupation forces to achieve any significant battlefield accomplishments that could be used in negotiations. this suggests that the israeli regime may soon be compelled to reassess its objectives to align with the outcome of the battles on the ground where zionist israel is seriously suffering. welcome to the mediast streamman. tens of thousands of palestinians fled northern gaza last week as the world health organization warns of warrying trends in the risk of disease after weeks of israeli
6:08 pm
occupation air strikes. the increasing evacuation came as israeli occupation forces closed in on the center of gaza city, launching intense bombardment campaigns and claiming that the resistance of... mas had lost control of the north of the gaza strip. discuss this issue with us from cairo, is mr. pauludi, founder of the free palestine movement and the free gaza movement. it's always a pleasure having you on board with us, mr. paul. now, the pace of palestinian civilians fleeing the combat zone in northern gaza has picked up as zionist israel's air and ground campaign there intensified under the patronage obviously of the united states of america who supposedly announced a one-sided sease fire. aimed at practically just emptying north of gaza from its residents, how likely is it that we will see that palestinian exodus happening again in other areas in gaza, mainly in the center of gaza and the south of gaza? well, lot
6:09 pm
depends, i mean people do want to preserve their lives and when the israeli military is bombing everywhere, they'll try to seek safety where where they can. we're not talking about the military here, we're talking about civilians who want to save their families and their children and uh and this sort of thing, and um, can can they be pushed for example into the sina? i imagine that with enough destruction israel would be able to do that if if uh, if egypt permits, permits the border to open for that, but that there's no sign that that's going to happen, so there really. caught uh in a situation where they have to run away from wherever the danger is, but uh, but there's no place to go. i hear that, and sup, the idea of displacing the palestinians of gaza strip in the south, practically means basically just
6:10 pm
clearing the way for the zionist occupation army to lunch a more intensive, destructive campaign in the entire north preparing for the complete invasion of gaza. however, the situation on the ground. tells another story of extensive israeli occupation army defeat, so what's the end game here then for the zionists and the us administration, when is it enough for them to say, that's it, we're done. "i don't know what it means to say that's it, we're done, because i can't imagine that um, let's face it, the resistance forces are extremely well prepared with the type of weapons that they're using and the strategy, and they've made lot of the uh the zionist effort useless, uh, each time the the zionists think that they have bombed." the the resistance into oblivion, they send their soldiers in and their soul
6:11 pm
soldiers get massacred, because the resistance is prepared, so uh, the only thing they can fall back on is to a complete genocide and and ethnic cleansing, and that's that's what they're doing, they have no other strategy than to try to massacre thousands, tens of thousands perhaps. perhaps eventually even hundreds of thousands of people, who knows, but they're not, they're not making much headway against the resistance. well, all of this suggests that maybe the israeli regime will soon have to be compelled to reassess its objectives in gaza to align at least with the outcomes of the results of the battlefield, but does that mean that a prisoners swap might be in the horizon, and if so if that actually happens, if a ceasfire happens and the president swap happens, what guarantees that uh palestinians will have that after the swap, the israeli entity will
6:12 pm
not just launch another uh ground invasion and another bombardment campaign against gaza? i think the prospect of a swap is a realistic one, because obviously the government, netanyahu and his cronies are um are failing on the battlefield and uh they're the they're high highly criticized by uh the people themselves, the the zionist um, you know, population uh, and this is a, this is a way of perhaps regaining some credibility that they're not totally ineffective, so that's a possibility, as far as uh, as you know, um, using massive destruction against the population after the the such a swap, if it ever takes place. uh, i think uh, the the possibilities of massive destruction are
6:13 pm
equally great with or without a swap, they have what's what they call the hannibal directive where if, if they think it's in their interest, they will actually bombard the place where the hostages are and and their own soldiers, if they think that they can uh gain by by doing so. face it, they they have no respect for palestinian life, and how much more respect do they have for the lives of their own people i i don't see it, i think they're willing to sacrifice, they they already did that, we had lot of reports coming from the resistance of hamas saying that number of the israeli settler detainees were killed because of the areal bombardment campaign by the zionist entity, but paul, you are now the founder of free palestine movement and the founder of free gaza. movement, what are the efforts that you are trying to do in support of the palestinian people, and what kind of uh maybe
6:14 pm
moral support are you bringing on with you from the united states of america towards the palestinian people? well, we feel um, we have with us very talented people in terms of doing resistance and doing exercise and publicizing and we have journalists, we we have human rights uh activists and so forth, they're talented, but we're a loss right now to figure out exactly how much we can get done, there are restrictions of course by the government in egypt access to rafa is very limited, but what we can do and what we are doing is we're demonstrating what the world is saying, we have millions of trators across the world uh crying out to uh to save the
6:15 pm
palestinians and and to uh stop uh stop the the genocide and uh i think that if we can get some of this action uh on the on the scene here in cairo and perhaps elsewhere then this will help to dramatize the concerns the people of the world and this will... will reflect be reflected hopefully in in action by at least some governments uh and and hopefully uh your government will have any sort of uh attempt to hear you out, to hear what the american public wants to say about this? a certain point they have to, the demonstrations in the in the us uh are the biggest since the iraq war, and uh, it's really dramatic, um, the palestinians uh, are
6:16 pm
um have not always had very much success in the united states, but they are. having it now, and this is very interesting, this is quite a turn, and especially the young people, it's young people who are turning out on the streets, so uh, it's we're a point where anything can happen, it's a fl very fluid situation, and the more we can get our voice and action in front of the people and the government, the more chance we have of making some sort of progress and headway, so that's we we're trying everything. good luck with what you're doing, paula rudy, founder the free palestine movement and the free gaza movement. thank you for joining us to discuss this very, very pressing issue currently going on in palestine, thanks million, now ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we are going to talk about the arab islamic summit in riyadh.
6:17 pm
the concluding statement of the arab islamic summit held in riyadh on saturday called for lifting the siege on gaza and ensuring the immediate entry of arab, islamic and international humanitarian convoys including food, medicine and fuel into the sector. i'm sorry, i'm not, i'm not too excited about that result, but here are more details in this following report. a disagreement occurred among the foreign ministers of arab countries during their meeting on thursday november 9 in preparation for the arab summit that was supposed to take place separately from the islamic summit on saturday in riad. just hours before the scheduled summit saudi arabia announced on friday evening the merging of the two summits, originally planned to host extraordinary meetings of the
6:18 pm
organization of islamic cooperation and the arab league on saturday and sunday. however, the arab foreign ministers who convened on thursday. for summit preparation were divided. some countries led by algeria called for cutting all diplomatic ties with zionist israel. the delegates added that a group of arab countries that had established diplomatic relations with the israeli entity opposed this move, emphasizing the need to keep channels open with the israeli regime. meanwhile, in the concluding statement on saturday evening, the emergency arab islamic summit called for a halt to the war in gaza, rejecting the israeli entities justification for its actions against palestinian. as self-defense. the summit condemned israeli entity aggression on the gaza strip and the heinous, savage and inhumane war crimes committed by the colonial occupation government. the statement also called for lifting the bloccade on gaza, allowing the entry of arab, islamic and international humanitarian aid convoys into the territory and halting the export of weapons and ammunition to the israeli entity. among the
6:19 pm
prominent participants were syrian president bashar al-assad, egyptian president abdultah seisi, jordan's king abdullah ii, iranian president ibrahim raisi and turkish president rejab tayib ardogan. iranian president ibrahim raisi emphasized that gaza is witnessing the worst crimes committeed in history which reflects a collapse of ethics and humanity. president reiterated that the israeli entity violates international laws in the gaza strip and decisive historical decision regarding what is happening in palestinian territories is what palestine needs now. meanwhile syrian president bashar al-assad. that arabs and muslims today face unprecedented historical responsibilities, because gaza is not the issue, rather, all of palestine is the issue. president assad declared that any plan undertaken in this arab summit is meaningless, unless the summit has effective tools of pressure against simonist israel. although such important statements were made, however over approximately 70 years, 62 arab summits have
6:20 pm
been convened with 14 of them labeled as emergency summits, including the latest health. to address the gaza strip genocide. contrary to the expectation that an emergency summit would address immediate crisis, the term is used here 36 days after the aggression against gaza began, raising questions about the urgency of the response with huge gap evident between the rhetoric coming from normalizing arab and islamic states and their actions in support of palestine. now to discuss this issue with us from beirot is dr. omar nashabi, political allist and lawyer, expert in human rights. and supervisor of the al-qaus supplement, which is published weekly with the lebanese daily newspaper al-akbar. thanks million dr. nashebi for being with us, this morning now, contrary to the expectation that emergency. see summit would address immediate crises. riyad's emergency arab and islamic summit was held 36 days after the aggression, the genocide, the killing, the bombardment of
6:21 pm
gaza had already started raising questions about the urgency uh of that summit, after at nearly 15,000 deaths, 500 of whom are infants, toddlers and children. what took them so long? well, i can think of five reasons, i'm going to talk about them free uh. you know one after the other briefly uh because i can talk about this for like hours but i'm going to try to be brief first um well obviously they didn't think it was emergency after you know the one of the most densely populated areas in the world uh two million 2.2 almost more than 2.2 million people living in 360 square kilometers being bombed continuously for 36 days more than 3000 tons of bombs thrown on these people and the... the muslim and the the joint emergency arab islamic conference took 36 days to convene, so obviously the first question that they consider this emergency or not, the
6:22 pm
second is that they perhaps some of them, you are doing naturalization of relations with israel, to hope that this will end sooner and that you know the gazan resistance would collapse and it would end sooner and they wouldn't have to do a conference in the first place, or they would do a conference in order to regulate and see what... west needs uh for the new order in gaza, and you know, this is what the west wants the conference to do. the third is that they have so many disagreements among these states, you know, most of the states you know, are completely inactive, you know, on the other hand, there is the islamic republic of iran, there's you know, yemen, there is iraq and lebanon, and these are taking an advance stand, stance to defend the resistance, whereas the other arab countries have an total opposite position, you know, maybe they don't express it that, they don't articulated that loudly at this point because the you know, the blood bath in gaza, but they have an opposite position, fear perhaps
6:23 pm
of some of the arab and islamic leaders that maybe if they would convene a conference very fast and they would have a high tone, it would maybe fuel more the popular support for the palestinian resistance in their own country and it could threaten their their leadership because these countries unfortunately are they're not exactly democracies, they're more likely, dictatorships ruled by the system of intelligence that controls their population, well dr. nashabi, the least that could result from a summit like this was at least concrete action such as severing ties, diplomatic ties, maybe economic boycots, for example and taking a strong stance against international companies that are dealing with the zinest entity in the midst of this catastrophe and this genicide, what was, i mean, what was reflected in the uh closing statement of this
6:24 pm
summit, i mean how can you see, how is it helpful for the palestinians? well, the closing statement of this summit, this emergency arab islamic summit is more like a report by an human rights ngo with the general, you know very general recommendations with no concrete action, nothing concrete, you know, they want. to be sure to move away from any disagreements between the nations that are participating in this conference, so therefore it's you know, i could say it's fair to say that it's meaningless, but they came out with our general recommendation without any practical follow up, so nothing on the boycott, nothing on stopping you know naturalized relationships with israel from some arab nations, or call for calling the israeli ambassador or calling the diplomatic mission. and showing a strong uh you know stance or you know some actions that are direct there was no mention of any concrete action and that that makes the statement the final
6:25 pm
statement so insignificant there was nothing you know you know egypt has a border with ghaza there's a border in rafah you know you know they said yeah we should pressure on you know for humanitarian assistance to go in from rafah but they didn't give any practical force. that could actually you know make sure that the border with rafah is open and that you know and that because nation nation with 120 million arabs cannot open a border for the love of god and and all the islamic nations i think they would support this, this is humanitarian call, i mean they could support it, they could send perhaps delegations of observers, i'm not talking about military, delegations of observers to the rafah area to make sure that all the aid is going in, now all the aid is not going in. very little, and it's all under you, israeli control, how can all these arab and islamic nations, we do see the long lines of trucks
6:26 pm
standing there and most of the... is either going bad or is not getting to the uh palestinian side and the palestinians and every day they needed more you know you have to remember winter is coming there are you know hundreds of thousands of people that have no shelter nothing and i'm not talking about the hospitals people are dying in the hospitals and you know they take these decisions that are so general and impractical and as if nothing happened you know netanyahu before the the israeli prime minister before the summit said that the arab nations rather shut stay silent, i wish they stayed silent, they did worse than that, they surrendered completely by calling for peace, going back to the peaceful negotiation, not by not asking for any sort of accountability for these mass crimes committed by the israelis, everybody is witnessing these mass crimes, they are violations, basic and violent violations of you know the basic humanitarian laws, what what what you talking about dr.
6:27 pm
nashabi was mentioned in the word by syrian president bashad, one of the most important speaches giving on saturday when he said that um um by the way, his own country is under attack by the zionist entity and the americans as we speak as well, but he was asserting that the arab world has the potential, they we have the potential to reshape the narrative in favor of palestine, but he said that if nothing really viable comes out then it's meaningless, and this is what you're saying, what is stopping the rest the arab world to adopt at least a similar? stance or approach like that of syria? well, the syrian president gave direct recommendations, he said that there should be concrete action to make the actual humanitarian supplies go into from rafah, he said that there should be a stop for the naturalization process with the israelis and he talked about you know taking advantage of what's happening to advance our political agenda. uh, no, they're not going to respond to that, because they because you know they think that uh, you know, and let's be, let's
6:28 pm
be very... frank about this, syria paid heavy price for its positions, syria has always had these positions that are you know more practical, more uh, you know, calling for you know justice in the area and taking concrete actions, and i think it's still paying, i mean the morning of monday, the united states of america had air strikes on their resort, yes exactly, and i think that every position, this position by president assad and the position of syria to support the resistance is very correct. decisions and syria has been paying the price and it will continue to pay the price and any country that decides to call for justice in a concrete way not in a you know in a kind of folkloric kind of you just a verbal kind of uh ngo statement for you know solidarity with palestine that's allowed but any concrete action to support the palestinian people and support the resistance and justice uh will be you know faced by very aggressive western action
6:29 pm
support. by some of its allies in the arab and islamic world, well dr. omar nashabi, political analyst and lawyer, expert in human rights, supervisor of the al-qaus supplement, which is published weekly with the lebanese daily newspaper, i want to thank you very much for the immense uh helpful and amazing information that you gave us uh in support of the palestinian people and in showing how this so-called emergency arab islamic summit was actually an embarrassment, i'm afraid to say, well ladies and gents, thank you for watching the media stream this week, please do follow us on. telegram and on uh twitter x as well, we continue to bring you the voice the voiceless right here on press tv and we promise to always give you updates from west asia, we'll see you again soon next week from the mid east stream assalam.
