"author and journalist robert fantina believes that israel's targeting of palestinian educational centers is attempt to eliminate the nation's history and culture as part of the regime's genocidal campaign. israel wants to eliminate

all of god uh of palestine's cultural heritage, all of its educational abilities and opportunities, it it these are not accidental bombings, these are are targeted and with purpose and the purpose is part of genocide which is to destroy everything about palestine, their their history, their culture, their their thousand year old background, it wants to destroy everything, this is this is intentional, and this is why one of the many reasons why the that israel has been brought to the international court of justice to to finally be held accountable for these crimes, we'll see what the international court says hopefully in the next couple of weeks. but these things are blatant violations of international law, they are blatant uh war crimes and they are blatent aspects of genocide, and this is what israel is involved in doing, and it's savagery, and the people of gaza are suffering horribly because of it, and will for decades in the future, because of

israel's actions today. visually forces have blown up the home of a palestinian in the occupied west bank city of al khalil. the israel military also evacuated the residence of adjacent buildings, the house that was destroyed belonged to nastrola al kawasami, or kawasmi, i'm sorry, he was one the three palestinians who carried out a retaliatory shooting operation in the vermont settlement on occupied sockets in november, at least. three israelis were killed and eight others were injured in the operation. kawasmi and the two other palestinians were also killed. the hamas resistance movement claim responsibility for the operation, describing it as natural response to unprecedented israeli crimes against palestinians in gaza and the west bank.

yemen's prime minister says the us and the uk as creators of the zinus entity in west asia seek to protect it by all means possible and destroy any group or country that stands against it. abdul aziz bin abtur was speaking an exclusive interview with press tv to elaborate on yemen's recent anti-israely operations in support of gaza and the western attacks on yemen. he said the us and britain are not aggressive. against yemen alone, but against all of humanity, and especially any country that may seek liberation from western colonialism. they prime minister said that his country started anti-israely operations in the red sea after arab regimes shunt their responsibility to protect the people of gaza. yemen's enemies tried to distort the reality by claiming that yemen is a threat to the world. he said that this will not discourage sana and it will continue with anti-israely operations until the aggression and blockated. gaza stops. iraq's islamic

resistance says it is launched a barrage of missiles at the us run anlalt base in western iraq. the us officials says american personnel suffered minor injuries in the attack. the officials said initial reports indicated that the base was hit by ballistic missiles. iraqi media reports say over 40 rockets were fired in the biggest anti-us operation by iraqis since october 7. over the past months iraqi resistance. forces have carried out attacks on american basis both in iraq and neighboring syria on an almost daily basis. iraq's islamic resistance says the attacks are in response to washington's support for the israeli regim the gaza genocide. earlier correspondent in baghdad muslim salim joined us with more details about the iraqi islamic resistance latest attack on american forces. just about an hour ago, the iraq resistance has carried out a large let's say missile attack on ain asad

western baghdad, now the significance of this attack that out of these 57 attacks that was let's say carried out by iraq resistance in the country, this is the largest in number of rockets, initial number said that there is number of casualty, not let's say there is nothing specific yet, but the attack was was very large when it comes to the number of rockets like i said it's the largest attack on the on the on an american base in iraq ever since the operation has started, so let's say it's there is only one way to go from now, the the resistance are intensifying their attack as their promise. israel's genocide on the people of palestine in gaza and the occupied west bank has cost thousands of lives. it has also caused a massive labor shortage. we're talking about, i think here primarily about cross border. workers, that is to say, workers who live in the west bank and commute to work in israel, that's that's

quite a large economic volume, particularly locally, around five and a half billion usd per year, these are some of the factors plaging the occupied west bank, so israel see these this of workers that they've created. shorters of palestinian workers, it's only a temporary measure. welcome back to the news see on press tv. pro- palestine rallies have been held in various cities across the world. some cases the demo's turned violence with security forces trying to... to disperse the protesters.

the global outrage against israel regime's crimes in gaza have even spread among israels. the mainstream media, however, rarely cover israeli protests against the war on gaza. in the israel city of hifa, the regime forces attacked anti-war demonstrators on saturday. the israely protesters held signs waiting stop the genocide in gaza. elsewhere in italy's northern city of vicenza, a pro-palestine rally also turned into clashes between the police and protesters. the police use water cannons to... first the demonstrators, in some major european cities, protesters demanded immediate and permanent cease fire in the

gaza strip. i'm 74 today and we are going to march today to say stop to the impunity of the criminal regime of israel, this is... european march: in palestine, we are paying for the crimes committed in europe, stop the impunity of the criminal regime of israel, yes to immediate cease fire and a complete end to the occupation in palestine. we are asking them to stop bombing palestine and to stop killing palestinians and let them have a state of their own. thousands of protesters marsh in spain's madrid and barcelona demanding a ceasefire in gaza. the footage shows protesters holding a giant palestinian flag and chanting slogans such as free palestine

and long live the struggle of the palestinians. also hundreds of pro- palestine demonstrator. joined a rally in support of activists marching from the french capital to the european council in brussels to demand an end to the genocide in gaza. the uk's west mendland city of birmingham has been the scene of a massive pro-palestine demonstration, one of several held since the start of the us israely genocidal war in gaza. it comes in the face of continued uk government support for the israeli regime that has caused unprecedented public outrage. and has alienated the country's muslim community. said puraza reports. true to their word, they've done it again. thousands on foot or by bike have thrown the streets of birmingham to say this. we are riding for palestine. we want to see fire now. people

and children are being killed in gaza, which is completely unacceptable. stop murdering children. and innocent people. in the run-up to today's protest, activists glued shot a branch of london headquartered banking giant barkley's in birmingham for allegedly investing in israeli weapons manufacturers. i think a lot of people are now fed up by carrying out totally non-violent, none interactive events, and now they're taking a proactive step so that they get noticed, and this is desperations. and... one way, it's showing the great crisis that we face in this country, that when the public wants the government to call for a cease fire, yet our politicians are not listening to the majority the british public. britain's support for apartide israel takes many shapes. visiting tel aviv in mid-october last year. british prime minister rishi sunak stood next to his israeli counterpart benjamin netanyahu and

said this. as your friend, we will stand with you in solidarity, we will stand with your people. and we also want you to win, prime minister, whatever a win might look like for apartied israel, suonax conservative party and the opposition labor party, whose leader kier starmer has also backed netanjahu's war, have both lost voters like karen, a lawyer. i feel like we've been massively let down by all governments, all parties across the board, and i've completely lost all faith in all of them. one group. say the uk position on the us israeli genocide in gaza has completely alienated them, are british muslims, who constitute nearly 7% of the population. we feel that the people that we have elected to represent us in the corridors of power have become a bunch of yes men, they are saying yes sir, yes sir, three bags food sir, maybe because they are afraid to lose their careers, this is how bad it's become,

disappointed with the government and the political establishment, it is in the st. of britain where people see the future of pro-palestine solidarity in the uk as they hope for peace that couldn't come a minute too soon. say purza, press tv, birmingham. people for out pakistan are increasingly joining a campaign to boycott israeli and american products in response to the ongoing attacks on the besieg gaza's trip. as part of that movement, an exhibition has been set up in the port city of karachi to showcase local brands and encourage support for products that are not associated with israel and also with the us. present correspondent has more. in response to israel's genocidal campaign in gaza, which has resulted in the death of thousands of innocent palestinians, businesses perceived to have ties with israel

and the united states are experiencing significant public discontant and backlash in pakistan. seeking to diminish the influence of pro us and pro israeli companies inside the country, the religious political party jamaate islami has partnered with prominent business entities to organize a two-day exhibition in the port city of karachi. the exhibition aims to showcase over 200 local brands as a strategic move in support of pakistani businesses. the exhibition serves as demonstration of solidarity with the marginalized population of palestine. advocating for the buycott of products associated with the united states and israel, simultaneously it seeks to promote the utilization of local pakistani brands, the proceeds and funds granted from the sale of these indigenous products will be dedicated to supporting the people of ghazza. the exhibition showcases a wide range of local products across different sectors, including

food, consumer goods and various essential commodities. the main objective of the exhibition is to motivate consumers to prioritize local products over those associated with countries facing public censure. by doing so, the exhibition aims to promote growth and support of locally. industries within pakistan by cotting the imported strups especially made by the oppressors who are doing the genocide in gaza will help the people of gaza because financially as i i have come to know that many of the organizations are badly affected financially after the boycott by the muslims the world in the pakistani capital of islam. bad: the call for boycotting western brands resonated among the protesters who strongly condemned the israeli atrocities in gaza. the rwelis served as a platform to urge the

masses to buycot israeli products, symbolizing their solidarity with the people of gaza. the aim is to use economic pressure as means of expressing their support and standing against crimes perpetuated against palestinians. i have started using many of the local products. and this is something that so many people have been talking from so long that we should start using our local products that are very good alternative to the to the international ones. in pakistan, there has been a significant public movement to buycot businesses perceived as pro israeli and pro us. notable brands like mcdonald's, kfc, coke and pepsi have faced intense public boyots resulting in substantial financial losses. these actions have been in response to israel's recent campaign in gaza, the boys demonstrate the strong public outcry and the impact they can have on businesses associated

with countries facing public censure. the people of pakistan are showing their solidarity with the palestinians in the gaza strape by actively participating an advocacy campaign that promotes the boycot of pro israeli products and encouraging the use of locally sourced alternatives. nasica. in the united states supporters of palestine are often braving sub-zero temperatures to demand that washington ended support for israel's genocide in gaza. in chicago, protesters have let a car caravan protest to voice their support for palestine. ramin masari has more from the story. winter has arrived with vengeance across. united states, but that didn't stop pro-palestinians from protesting nationwide and in chicago, the home of the nation's largest palestinian community. with

destroyed or damaged, and israel is formally facing charges of genocide in the international court of justice at the hague. the propaganda machine is is starting to die, so um, i think the the, you know, the us propaganda machine the israeli. propaganda machine, they're losing the the language war, the propaganda war, whatever it is, because the youth are seeing everything happen in real time, as you know the genocide that's happening in gaza right now is being documented, everything is being filmed. united states president joe biden has now repeatedly bombed yemen without getting prior approval from the united nations or his own congress, but there seems to be almost no concern in washington about the illegality of the... it says a lot when people in those conditions are willing to do whatever it takes to put an end to the genocide, while we have billions of dollars going to the state of israel and continuing to support them

regardless, like it says: lot in regards to how serious the people of yemen take it and how impactful it is and how in our relationship as you know muslim and arab communities are are across the country and across the world. activist say that neither washington nor tel aviv seem to understand that nothing can stop the palestinians and their supporters around the world, not murder, bombs, theft, lies, and certainly not cold weather. romin masahari, press tv. chicago and with that we come to an end for this additional world news, thank you so much for being with us, i'll be back in just few minutes time with the recap of the top stories, it's bye-bye for now.
