us and israel have aired bases allegations against themas. he underscored the israelly military's failure to provide substantial evidence in order to prove hamas's operation under the shif of hospital complex. amdan also examined the footage israel's military has put on the net. the senior hamas official accused the regime of propagating untru stories about his bloody war in gaza. hamdan mentioned several cases of such israeli propaganda. in one of the cases, an old palestinian. man was killed after israely media showing him being helped by the regime soldiers. a un agency says only one hospital is not functioning in the northern part of the besieed strep. un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs says out of 24 hospitals and clinics in northern gaza, only one is receiving patients. it says 18 hospitals have shut down and evacuated while another five only provide limited care. to

patients already admitted, including hospital. lack of power, oxygen, medical equipment, bombardments have been cited as reasons for the closure. according to un three hospitals shut in the past three days alone, the situation has left medical workers struggling to keep patients, including premature babies alive. the un says even the palestinian red cross is unable to respond to calls for help to save those who remain trapped under the rubbles. un experts have condemned the quote grave violations israel is undertaking, saying there is evidence of the regime's. against the palestinians. the group of experts also centured governments for their failure in achieving seasfire. israel's bloody campaign in gaza has been going on since the 7th of october. the group of un experts also expressed concern over the support of certain governments for israel.

meanwile the euro-mediterranean human rights monitor has documented israel's use of internationally banned white phosphorus in more than 100 strikes on gaza. 300 of such attacks. were only conducted on wednesday targeting beit lahiya in northern gaza. the monitor said resorting to internationally banned weapons proves israel's ethnic cleansing campaign in the besieg ghaza strab. the head of the un agency for palestinian refugees as warned of a quote deliberate attempt to impeed its operations in gaza. undwa is now running. out of fuel. we will not be able to uphold our commitment to provide for the palestinian people any longer. i do believe there is deliberate attempt to strunggle our operation and

paralyze the onrra operation. speaking a press conference in geneva, the head of unra said the agency may have to totally suspend. this operations due to lack of fuel. he said that it was quote outrageous to force humanitarian organizations to beg for necessities. the suspension of honor mission in gaza would pose new challenges to more than 800,000 displaced palestinians under the agencies support. israel has indiscriminately bombed various neighborhoods in gaza, including un run schools, sheltering internally displaced people. at least 103 employees working for anna have been killed in israel. since the 7th of october, it has been the highest number of employees killed in the agency's history. pakistan's former ambassador to the un, ali sabaward says public outcry is the only way to push a ceasefire in gaza, as the un has proven to be

ineffective in that regard. the basic problem is that the united nations can be effective and functional only if all its members desire to do so, then in the security council, there is the discriminatory process of those members who are permanent and they can veto any resolution, so effectively they make the security council totally, mean i impractical and ineffective. to work with, you know, in the vietnam war, the reason the us administration was forced to sue for peace and to hold peace talks in paris in the 60s and early 70s of the last century, was

because of public protest, because of the fact that people came out on the streets, students in the universities. came out in protest and demonstration against the policies of the government, so there was such a massive change in public opinion that the government had to also alter its foreign policy. now here the situation is very worrisome and very bad, but unfortunately the israeli and the jewish lobby in the united states is using all resources and keeping the media its side, the media in america is still talking about israel's right of defense and israel's uh dealing of the threat that it

come that comes from gaza, so the media war has to be fought also and i think if public opinion turned. against israeli action, then the media will also have to follow suit and change its stance. leminanas resistance moved hezbollah has carried out another strike against israel's military positions along the border. isbollah fired rockets and missiles towards seven israeli military sites. injuries have been reported among israeli soldiers. hisbolla and israeli troops have been engaged in direct lashes since the 7th of october when the regime ignited its bloody war machine to bombard the besieged gaza strip. heisboda says that it will continue striking israeli positions until it stops the crimes against palestinians.

alvin boats, deputy minister international or intel relations and cooperation of south africa, joins us from capetown. uh, welcome to the program, so the focus right now on the news has been about the... hospital and how israel has shown some videos uh which has been rejected by not only hamas just a couple hours ago in a press conference, but also the fact that it doesn't add up to what their claim had been from uh the get go from the onset uh that this is a uh command and control node of the hamas resistance fighters uh any definition of that does not even uh what they have presented does not even come close to it why is israel uh then making such client? and attacking hospital? well, i think

it's a very unfortunate, in any circumstance where there is w, hospitals as key health infrastructure, are protected by the in particular your geneva conventions and protocols, so clearly what you have, it's a predetermined. israel that wants to engage in what they have promised the world that they would do, they are actually engaging in the genocide against in particular innocent, fragile, critically wounded and ill women and children, so i think from the side of south africa, um, you know, we, it's a antithesis of what we stand for, and it's for. that reason the south africa have recall all its diplomatic personnel based in our diplomatic

mission in tel aviv. what you just said there about um the genocide is what un experts have come out and made public in a statement that we have been covering in the news that uh they have uh said that there is attent by israel with the actions that they have done which has resulted in the killing of palestinian. that they are indeed committing genocide. if the intent of israel is to kill palestinians, then why is there no preventative measures of any kind that can be exercised in order to stop that from from happening? i don't think there are any questions in many people's mind, especially the ones that went out on the streets all over the world, from south africa to iran to europe to you name it. genocide was committed, which is what drove them to come out. i think it's it's one of the the the

regrettable weakness of the united nations security council, it has been unable to provide leadership in regards to this matter, the security council has been unable to ensure there is a a peace force in place to protect. thousands and thousands of women and children that are being killed as we are speaking, so what you are having here is mirror image of the genocide in 1994 that was perpetuated in the the the country of rwanda and what we are championing is south africa as a peaceling nation. is for the un security council, in particular members of the p5,

those permanent members that continues to vetto decisions of the security council on the flight of the palestine people, we are continuing obviously internationally through accamation and utilizing number of multilateral for us to raise our concern and to play for a consciousness of the member states that are part of the security council? we understand that your parliament is actually going to be deciding on the... way that uh it wants to move forward when it comes to either cutting the relations with israel or not or keeping it at some kind of level um maybe i'm not too sure uh we know that south africa has been very uh vocal about the way that it feels about the israeli crimes and its support for palestanians where does that stand right now well uh the the the motion today was was discuss in the south

african parliament next week wednesday the south africa. people's representative in parliament will vote on this particular matter and in in particular we speak about the suspension of all diplomatic relations between south african government and the the the state of israel and the resolution the motion speaks about the expulsion of the... israeli ambassador in south africa back home to tel aviv, by next weekday, there will be a clarity of thought, and although parliament is a different arm of the state than government, ordinarily president ramaposa um is championing uh decisions and motions taken

by the - south african parliament, so i think why we are doing this, including the decision announced by president ramaposa to report the genocidal crimes of the state of israel to the international criminal core, invoking obviously article 14, under the wrong statute to the icc is because of... absolute lack of listening, absolute lack of humanity, and clearly, ethnic clingzing are taking place in in palestine, and the international criminal court were very quick to issue a warrant of arrest against president putin of the russian

federation, ostensively because of decision that was... taken to remove children from eastern ukraine to uh the russian federation, but it has been absolutely defening in silent in relation to executing a warrant of arrest against and the prime minister of israel. okay, um, i didn't catch that part that you talked about russia, but unfortunately we're fresh out of time, but let me thank you anyways. intel relations and cooperation of south africa from cape town. thank you. thank you. moving on with the news. iran's minister says the so-called humanitarian policy in gaza means nothing but the continuation of the killing and starvation of the defenseless palestinian people. said israel and some of

as pursuing the process of delivery of humanitarian aid to palestinians in gaza. we are pursuing process of delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in gaza. we will have meetings with un officials and international red cross organization. some of the meetings have been held while others are on the agenda. definitely the humanitarian situation in gaza is embarrassing. amir abdullahyan also censured the us military support for israel saying washington's claims of providing aid to palestina. saying washington seeks to send around 500 trucks of humanitarian. to gaza daily, but currently between 25 to 40 truks are only entering gaza, one third of this aid is water, lacking the essential food and medicine urgently

needed by palestinians. the iranian forum minister made the remarks, following talks with the un under secretary for human rights affairs, martin griffits. during their meeting, am abdullahyan stated hamos resistance movement's preparedness to release israeli civilians in exchange for the end of the... regimes's onslot against palestinians. griffiths for his part highlighted the importance of this topic and thanked iran's efforts in preventing the war from spreading. amir abdullahyan then held talks with volker turk, the united nations high commissioner for human rights. following that, he met with mariana espolar. egger, president of the international committee of red cross. the talks all revolved around ending the seig on gaza and the opening of the rafa board. crossing. for the last 40 days, israeli war planes and tanks have been pounding the gaza strip. for the last 40 days, thousands of civilians, including women and children have

been killed in the gaza strip. for the last 40 days, the international community has failed to propose solution to end the war. now, many are wondering whether the united nations and other human rights organizations can do anything more to protect palestinians. other than just issuing condemnations, un headquarters, geneva. the israeli military says it has killed three palestinians near alqs after they allegedly open fire at his forces. according to the israeli military, one of his troops was killed and several others were wounded in the palestinian shooting operation. the incident took place at checkpoint guarding access to road tunnels liking the occupied west bank and al huts. the regime is intensified his bloody attacks on the west bank. more than 190 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces and settlers across the occupied territories since october the 7th. that is when the regime began its onslot against the besieg

gaza strap. for palestinean sentiment continues to expand across the globe with people staging new demos and condemnation of israeli savagery in the beside gaza strep. in washington police scuffled with protesters outside of the democratic national headquarters. they were calling for an end to israel's genocidal war in gaza. police dispersed the demonstrators and some were arrested. elsewhere in san francisco, hundreds of protestors blocked the entrance into the apex summit. some demonstrators tried to prevent summit attendees from entering the venue. the protest demanded immediatefire in gaza. meanwhile in london britain protesters assembled outside of parliament demanding the lawers support a ceasefire in gaza. also in jordan sap man,

security forces mobilized to guard the us embassy, as hundreds of protesters gathered outside of the premises. the protesters condem washington's support for israel and the regime's raid into the al-shifa hospital in gaza. the situation in gaza is worsening by the hour, that is international bodies hesitate to take serious action to stop israel. our correspond of russian saglam has talked with the turkish residents, believe that a unified muslim front can put an end to the israeli regime's ongoing massacres. israel'i destekliyor. in fact, what is happening is massacre? israelis have occupied palestine, they have seed 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, i find it hard to swallow, knowing there are innocent civilians being killed brutally, the world is silent in the face of what is happening there. israel is a criminal terrorist state, but the reason why israel continues to commit these atrocities is that muslim. 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, we all know who they're affiliated with, american and jewish parties. that's why there is nothing we can do, but if muslims unite, they can beat any. 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 the issue. conferences, while the number of marters is increasing, this is not something that can be solved in conferences, bir müslüman olarak söyleyeceğimiz belli, what can we say, israel is a terrorist 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 our army will go there to defend palestine. islam devlet. islamic countries should unite, this situation is unacceptable. in islam, we are taught not to kill an end, and how can we watch humans being killed like this for god's sake? so we must lend them a helping hand. muslim countries must unite to stop this

genocide. islam devletleri başında olmaz olur mu. and that does for this additional world news. coming up next is a recap of the top stories. it's by for now. crisis, devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, child killing, unabated, make sure to join the show through facebook, twitter, only on press tv.
