hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in terran. thank you for joining us. on day 41 of israel's onslot on the besege gaza strip hospitals are the focal point of the regime's deadly rates. gaza city's shifa hospital is surrounded by israeli tanks and bulldozers. no one is allowed to leave the medical complex. the director of the hospital says the israeli military has bombed the waterline, he said the region forces are present in the hospital and stolen several palestinian. bodies, the
2:32 am
regime's military has confirmed this raid into the hospital which started on wednesday. israeli forces entered the complex claiming it was top a military command center of the hamas resistance movement. hamas has categorically dismissed the allegation saying israel lies about finding weapons at the complex. meanwhile doctor in gaza said the situation at the shifa hospital is catastrophic. the situation at alsiva hospital is very dangerous and catastrophic. the israeli army invaded the al-seva complex last night and since then we have lost contact with our colleagues, patients and everyone inside the al-shafab medical complex. we are unable to certain the events inside the alshafa complex, including violations against the medics and patients by israeli forces. israel has also bombed the surroundings of the indonesian hospital. in
2:33 am
gaza, according to the chief of the hospital, the medical facility is now completely out of service. the palestinian red creson says israels have also surrounded the al-ahli arab hospital. the nussairat refugee camp in central gaza was also hit, killing nine people, mostly children. israel has killed at least 11,500 palestinians in gaza since the 7th of october. palestinian people are able of to outglast the israeli offensive on the ghaza strip and will certainly emerge victorious. that's according to the head of the political bureau of the palestinian resistance movement, hamas. ismail khane added that palestinian resistance fighters have delivered painful blows to the israeli army since the regime began its onslot on gaza on october the 7th. he said the palestinians have foiled israel's plans. hanye noted that the regime won't be able to retrieve its captives except by... paying the
2:34 am
price, themas leader described israel's attacks on the palestinian territory as barbaric, he called for the implementation of the resolutions issued in the recent arab islamic summit held in saudi arabia, the summit called for ending or for the ending of the israeli aggression and breaking the siege on the ghaza strip. the senior representative of hamas in lebanon says the palestinian resistance fight. are not operating in any hospitals, there is no center or control room for hamas in this hospital, we avoid all the hospitals all the time, the israelis, they have said that about ranti hospital and they were lying, they've said that about alds hospital and everyone realized that they were lying and now everyone. watching their lies,
2:35 am
even with the support of the united states administration, which is very silly and stupid. osama hamdan said the united states and israel have aired baseless allegations. against hamas, he underscored the israeli military's failure to provide substantial evidence to prove hamas operation under the shifa hospital complex and then also examined the footage israel's military has put on the internet. the senior hamas official accused the regime of propagating on true stories about his bloody war on 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 happy. by the regime soldiers, hamdan also said the military wing of hamas has been successful in damaging or destroying israeli vehicles. the kassam brigades have succeeded in destroying and inflicting damage on 33 vehicles over the
2:36 am
last 48 hours. hannan said, brigades, the military wing of. continues its operations. algasan issued a statement saying that in 24 hours it destroyed a building where israeli soldiers were hiding in. the soldiers were either killed or wounded, it said. the dia humanitarian situation in the ghaza strip is rapidly deteriorating inmit israel's brutal war and siege on the palestinian territory. the world food program civilians in gaza face immediate possibility of starvation because food and water have become practically nonexistent. the wfp added that lack of fuel is also impeeding the delivery of food. it said the amount of food entering gaza remains worfully inadequate. the un high commission
2:37 am
for human rights also raised the alarm about widespread hunger in the gaza strip. the total depletion of fuel supplies is imminent according to anra, and it would be catastrophic across all of gaza, leading to the complete collapse of water, sewing and crucial healthcare services and endling the trickle of humanitarian assistance that has been permitted to date. massive outbreaks of infectious disease and hunger seem. inevitable. tuck was speaking a press briefing at the un office in geneva, meanwile the united nations agency for palestinian refugees warned of deliberate attempt to paralyze this operations in gaza. the suspension of unraw mission in gaza would post new challenges to hundreds of thousands
2:38 am
of displaced palestinians were under the agencies support. now to talk more on this, we are joined by mr. tony gosling, investigative journalist from bristol. mr. gosling, welcome to press again, now mr. gosling, the world food program has worn that civilians in gaza, are to face immediate possibility of starvation, because food and water have become practically not existence. now i give you some, i'll give you some stats, bread is cars or not inexistence as fuel shortages have. get a crippling halt in breath production across all gaza, gaza's 130 bakeries, now of the 1,129 trucks that have entered gaza uh through the rafa bor border, only 447 were carrying food supplies and the food that has entered gaza up to now is only
2:39 am
enough for 7% of the people's daily needs, so my question is, why can't the international community find a solution to end this war and what or who are the obstacles? well, i think one of the main obstacles is the uh mad dog nature of the israeli defense force and the israeli government at the moment, it's almost as if they are trying to do, i mean, just think of what happened on the 7th of october, the attack mainly a military attack by hamas, which was spun into this attack on civilians, although there were attempts to um take hostages, lot of those hostages were then killed, um, in fact some of the... testimony is that most of the hostages would have been killed by the idf, not by hamas, so the the the backlash reaction is of course massively over the top, so it's it's quite clear that many of the countries that might otherwise support the palestinians realize that the
2:40 am
israelis have set a trap for them, they actually want to have a wider war because they know that this would bring in the united states more fully behind them uh and uh create a... even bigger war that they believe would be for israel's existence that the americans would not be able to ignore, so they are really i think being extremely reckless and many of the arab states around, particularly egypt, jordan, um, and lebanon, a little bit further away, uh, iran, they're all realizing that the israelis actually want them to get involved militarily, so they they're standing off rather, because you know, this is powder keg here, and everyone realizes it, so uh, the reason why i think the international community if you want, is not doing more, is very simple fact that the united nations. security council, the veto is always invoked by the americans, they've been doing this for many years, and this is the a
2:41 am
flaw in the system uh, at the un, but i think it's more important in a way to look at what the real motivation of the israelis is here, and we have to understand that they are trying desperately to provoke a war, uh, we've had mass civil society demonstrations against the greater israel block since this new far right government of netanyahu was elected. and in fact even israeli zionists uh talking about uh the uh netanyahu's greater israel block has become a dictatorship uh and so we're we're dealing with very dangerous government in israel, nuclear armed government uh and that's why i think that there's been a certain amount of restraint uh one thing that could of course happened is either the british prime minister or the american president could say uh that that they no longer support the israelis that they demand se then i think the guns would fall silent, but unfortunately the israel lobby is so strong, in fact britain and the united
2:42 am
states have built up israel, so it's very embarrassing for them to then say the israelis have got to stop fighting back. well, we've seen it from emmanuel that he said that there should be immediate ceasefire. could we could we see this from the us or british government as well? i would love to say yes, and of course the british people have demonstrated. uh in their hundreds of thousands, the latest demonstration, over three quarters of million on the streets, but no, we have politicians here with tin ears, on both sides, in fact to the conservative ruling party and the labour opposition, who are absolutely controlled by the israel lobby, by the labour friends of israel and the conservative friends of israel, and so uh, although the public uh will definitely say it, in fact many of the journalists even - saying it who are not involved specifically in the rupert murdock right-wing press uh, it's worth mentioning
2:43 am
that the the murdock press uh right across the united states and britain and in australia has been 100% behind israel's war crimes because rupert murdock himself has got a big financial stake in the goland heights in uh in the oil concessions that he's taken with jacob rosschild so these big media empires have a big financial interest. uh in backing the israeli state, so that's one of the reasons why uh the criticism uh has not been filtering out through those channels, but of course many people nowadays, particularly young people don't watch ordinary television or read ordinary newspapers, they're getting much of their information direct from the source and also of course from uh countries like lebanon uh and iran uh also from turkey via uh the social media and it's absolutely i mean one the things that's been spreading very... on social media, i'm sure you've seen it is yesterday's speech uh by receptied erdogan
2:44 am
from turkey uh who is uh saying what everyone else in the rest of the world is thinking, including here in the west, most people anyway, that israel is a terrorist state, and it's a bit rich for them to be accusing hamas of being terrorists, when actually what they're doing is they are actually an armed force which is representing their own people uh ability and and and need to fight back against an occupy oppressor... breaking international law not just uh in the bombing of gaza, but every single day that they've been occupying uh the west bank and gaza. mr. gussing, but the question is, would they be a, would they be able to hold the israeli regime accountable for their crimes? look, if the british government wanted to, if the foreign office wanted to, they could do it just like that, but i'm afraid what we've got is we've got a king charles who's very much more hands on. than queen elizabeth was, we've also got a prime minister rishi sunak, and now new foreign secretary, david cameron,
2:45 am
the former prime minister who started uh the destruction of libya, he was involved of course as well in the uh the um proxy war against assad, so these people are all actually wedded to the whole sinus project, which in a way uh you could see it as a jewish here, the idea that uh that this paradise of jews living in jerusalem could be turned into something like this, well it's quite obvious that the jews may be god's chosen people, but benjamin netanyahu and the greater israel block are the diametric opposite, they are obviously not. chosen people because you can see by their actions. that's right, there you have mr. tony gosling, investigative journalist all the way from bristel. thank you for being with us, sir, now continuing with the rest of the news, the commander of the qud force of ivan's irgc has sent a message of support to the ghaza resistance hailing operation alax
2:46 am
the flood as epic of grand scales that laid bear the fragility of israel. brigadier general ismailgani said that the operation showed israels security is far more vulnerable than spiders were. the letter was addressed to the commander of the khassan brigades, mohammad dave. it said, the palestinian operation united muslim nations around the notion of jihad against israel, he said, now everyone believes palestine and the wider region will not be the same in the wake the al-axa flood. the iranian commander toer attacks by the resistance against israeli troops and armored vehicles, saying the strikes portrayed the crew. side of the resistance. the iranian general said tehran will do his best to support the palestinian resistance in the ongoing war. he said the resistance front will not allow israel to corner garzans and achieve its objectives. political commentator shabir risvy says the israeli regime is a passive player that only
2:47 am
reacts to hamas initiatives in the ongoing war in gaza. let's take your listen. the palestinian resistance has israel right where it wants them, israel is reacting, it is not taking its own measures, it is being forced to make decisions. based off this, they have been forced into engaging the resistance, but every time they actually engage the resistance, they cover up their casualties, they cover up the loss of their vehicles, they instead are relying on this air campaign, this inhuman, this genocidal. campaign to actually force the resistance out of whatever they may be, but they are ultimately failing. two, you also have the international community, but also just people worldwide, seeing the failure of israel and instead of actually engaging the resistance, the true face of zionism is actually exposed, because instead of actually going combat to
2:48 am
combat maneuver, they insist on bombing civilians, they insist on war crimes, they insist on using... white fosphorus, they insist on bombing hospitals and schools, and now what we're also seeing is them fabricating uh lies right before the international audience, we have seen time and time again the lie, the lies of the israeli defense forces quote unquote being exposed, and so right now uh, essentially the resistance has boxed in the zionist entity to a point where there's no way that they can achieve all of their objectives, there's simply no way because one, they're they're losing on the ground and they're also losing uh the the support that they once had amongst even western leaders. lebanon's resistance movement hezbollah has carried out another strike against israelis or israel's military positions along the border. hezbollah fired rockets and missiles towards seven israeli
2:49 am
military sites. injuries have been reported amongst israeli soldiers. hezbollah and israeli troops have been engaged in wreck fashies since the 7th of october when the regime ignited his bloody war machine to bombard the besieged gaza strip. hisbollah says it will continue striking israel's positions until it stops the crimes against palestinians. earlier this week an international delegation of writers, lawyers, journalists and activists went to went to egypt to push for the opening of the rafat border crossing, which connects the arab country to the... gaza strip, but members of the delegation were arrested by egyptian authorities near the crossing and later deported. dankovalik a member of the group joined us earlier to explain what happened to them. at the last minute, it like 5:30 in the morning when we were supposed to leave, they denied the international delegations right to
2:50 am
go to rafa, so we never got to the rafa crossing, we then held a press conference in front of the us embassy in cairo, to call for the opening of the rafa border, and of course in end to the us support for the genocide in gaza, and that's when we were arrested in front of the us embassy, in in cairo, i think they got unnerved by the gathering of people in front of the embassy, by the way, it was across the street from the embassy, it's not like it was right in front of it, it was across a very big uh uh lane, very big avenue in cairo, across, so it wasn't any threat to the physical integrity of the embassy, but when they came. up to us, they made it clear, they were upset and disturbed by the fact that some of us were wearing cafeas, that some people had palestinian flags, they made
2:51 am
it clear that's what they were concerned about, they asked if any of the members of the group were palestinian, even if they were palestinian americans, so that was clearly uh part of what was going on there, iron's farm minister says the so-called humanitarian pors in gaza. means nothing but the continuation the killing and starvation of the defenseless palestinian people. amir abdullahyan said israel and some of his backers are proposing humanitarian pauses to buy time to commit more crimes against palestinians. he urged the international community to work towards an immediate and unconditional end to israeli genocide in gaza. he also called for unhindered humanitarian aid delivery to gaza with delay. the atopped iranian diplomat reiterated palestinians. right to self-determination amir abdullahyan is in geneva to push for diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing israeli onslot on gaza. he has already met with several un officials and
2:52 am
other influential figures. the aranian foreign minister also discussed the situation in gaza in a meeting with his french counterpart. amir abdullahyan warned about the consequences of the continuation of israeli war crimes in gaza. he underlined the need for an immediate sessation of israeli genocide of palestinians. iranian forum minister hossain amir abdullahyan is on an official visit to the swiss city of geneva. the top iranian diplomat has described the aim of the visit as pursuing the process of delivery of humanitarian aid to palestinians in gaza and the end of the israeli siege of the coastal territory. we are pursuing process of delivery of humanitarian assistant. 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
2:53 am
in gaza is embarrassing. amir abdullahyan also censured the us military support for israel, saying washington's claims of providing aid to palestinians are just words without actions. we have heard from the american foreign minister saying washington. seeks to send around 500 trucks of humanitarian aid to gaza daily, but currently between 25 to 40 trucks 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, amir abdullahyan stated hamos resistance movements preparedness. to release israeli civilians in exchange for the end of the regime's onslot against palestinians. griffits, for his part highlighted the importance of this topic and thanked iran's
2:54 am
efforts in preventing the war from spreading. amir abdullahyan then held talks with valker turk, the united nations high commissioner for human rights. following that, he met with mariana espolar h. edger, president of the international committee of red cross. the talks all revolved around. ending the sijon gaza and the opening of the rafa border crossing. for the last 40 days, israely 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 organization. can do anything more to protect palestinians other than just issuing condemnations, un headquarters geneva and pro-palestine
2:55 am
sentiment continues to expand across the globe with people staging new demonstrations in condemnation of israel's savagery in the besieged ghaza strip. in washington police scuffled with protesters outside the democratic national headquarters, the protesters were calling for an end to israel's genocidal war on gaza, police dismissed the demonstrators and some were arrested. elsewhere in san francisco, hundreds of protesters blocked the entrance into the apex summit, some demonstrators tried to prevent summit attendees from entering the venue. the protesters under the immediate ceasefire in gaza. in london, protesters assemble outside parliament, demanding that lawers support a ceasefire in gaza. also, in jordan's capital alman,
