hello everyone and welcome back to gaza under attack, coming to you from the british capital, london. i'm your host said puriza. before i bring you my panel, let's have look at some of the latest developments. no letup in a partide israel's attacks. rescue efforts are ongoing after another night of israeli of bombardments across the gaza strip. the relentless shelling has displaced thousands of palestinian. families over the past three

and a half months, but their place of shelter is also turning into a war zone. in the south of the enclave, hospitals are under siege with medical supplies running low. more than 27,00 palestinians have now been killed since the beginning of the us-israeli genocide. un secretary general antonio gutieresh says the binding decisions of the international court of justice must be complied with. hamas political leader ismail hania is in cairo to review a six-week ceasefire proposal forged in paris over the weekend ahead of us secretary of state anthony blinken's return to the region for further talks. yemen says its naval units have fired several missiles a us navy warship in the red sea. an iraqi resistance forces have launched a drone attack on the port city of haifa in the israeli occupied territories, both those attacks aimed at stopping the us israeli genocide in gaza. well joining me on this

edition here in the studio, business owner and analyst noor fechri and via skype from assex, organizer and activist fatima dasa. thank you both for being here. i'll start with you, noor. do you think, given what we heard right now, that we may be on the cusp of a cease fire? i do believe that we are very close to a cease fire, particularly with the negotiations taking place, but again we're not, we're not there just yet, there are certain criteria. that need to be upheld for the force fire to, what are those take place? yes, so firstly that would be for the complete withdraw of the israeli occupation forces from the gaza strip and for them to see, reak and havoc there, um, it would also uh mean that they would need a permanent cease fire, which would mean not just for three months, which is what they, yeah, which is what they're suggesting, um, and also for all of the palestinian hostages to be released from across the palestinian, the occupied palestine. and that includes

palestinian hostages that are being held in of prisons for some you for decades and some of them children minors and so if these criteria are not um met i don't believe there's going to be a cease fire simply because um the palestinian resistance holds the upper hand of here. the israeli occupation has been talking about them having control over hun unis two days ago peoples of impending victory absolutely two days ago the palestinian resistance from khan unis um you know fired rockets at tel aviv which just suggests that they don't have. that they don't have the authority there, um, fatima, we're two weeks on from the uh international court of justicices interim ruling, and we're yet to see the israeli regime make any moves to comply. talk about what enables apartide israel to ignore international law and essentially get away with murder? well, i think as we've seen, for the last 75 years, it has had impunity um... against his actions

and it's very comfortable in that position, i don't think it's hit home for them, what the ruling was? um, i was watching normal finkensteins coverage of the of the icj ruling, and he said you should have seen the shock on malcolm shows who was the lawyer for the israeli side when the ruling um about the provisional measures came along, they couldn't believe it that. finally they've had their reckening coming, so it's their impunity and the support of united states and the western powers where it feels it can get away with murder and uptil now it has and it continues since the the icj rulings your daily we are seeing 200 to 300 palestinians being killed and massagred by these drawing forces uh and the question of plausibility of genocide according to again to the ruling

that it basically said that it either has occurred or could occur, which means that the israeli regime will not be able to shrug this off, don't you think? yeah, absolutely, i mean, is already massively embarrassing for the israely occupation entity for them to be even be put on trial for genocide, i mean that was established, this hope that this whole idea of the genocide convention was established post world war ii, so the irony in this is just you know mind boggling, um in addition to that, the israeli occupation entity has you know proven time and time again that they are above the you know above international law, is this exact international law that discriminates inherently against the palestinian people, is the un that established and recognized? this you know rogue, wrong and fake state as a state in the first place, and so you to me and to many other people, whatever comes out of international law, it's pretty much void, but regardless of that that still is a massive stain in history for the israely occupation entity, and it will, like i said, it will go down in history as a massive

humiliation, and by extension for the countries that have backed it and and armed it and give it given a diplomatic um cover at international bodies. over the decades, yeah, they are essentially complicit is the us, it is essentially a war that is backed by the us, a war that is actually managed by the us, we know that is really occupation entity makes no decisions if it's not for the us, if the us called for sease fire today, this would be what would happen, and so it is um, these states like the us and uk are complicit in the genocide, correct, and uh, fatima, what palestinians are going through, the ordinary... people there who have born the brunt of more than three months of incessent israeli shelling, with your healthcare background in mind, tell us about the health risks that are threatening palestinian lives in the gaza strip as we speak. i can't say

better than a w health organization sports person margaret harris, the combination of you know starvation. deprivation of food, fuel and medicine to top it where they've been bombarded will lead to an absolutely dire humanitarian need for the people what we're seeing is a in these sort of cases um the the lack of basic necessities just others the humanitarian crisis and one of the global health spokes person yasa say has said that this is you a storm in the making what we are seeing is human made humanitarian catastrophe uh and what we these are all preventable

deaths and in such cases in a lot of these cases unfortunately disease kills more than the bombardment in previous wars like in in in yemen or darfour, what we seen is that the the lack of basic supplies which is compounded in in gaza with without humanitarian aid being allowed in and 27 out the 36 hospitals being being flattened that this then you further where people are not able to access the the basic needs, there's no food, there's no fuel, the crowded in in in your small places, so infectious disease spreads like fire it is really you a recipe for absolute disaster - and this is what we are seeing that is going to be going to kill more people than the actual bombardment

starvation and disease two things that are threatening millions of lives in the gaza strip now as we heard earlier the us could end this with perhaps one phone call: as us supplied bombs continue to fall on gaza, the white house has reiterated the biden administration's commitment to a palestinian state, a position that is vehemently opposed by tel aviv. u.s. state department officials have reaffirmed the administration's position ahead of the fifth visit to the middle east by secretary of state anthony blincon. on his agenda, helping to prepare the ground for post bombardment reconstruction and governance in gaza as well as attempting ramp up the aid response, have a listen, we have made quite clear publicly that we support the establishment of an independent independent palestinian state, that's been the policy of the united states for some time, it has been the policy of this administration, you've seen the secretary speak about it uh

publicly, i'm not going to comment on the internal work that we do to advance that objective, but i will say that there are any number of ways that you could go about accomplishing that, there are any number sequencing of events that you could carry out to accomplish that objective and we look a wide range of options and we discuss those with um partners in the region as well as other partners inside the united states government um but there has been no policy change. all right, let me continue this with nura here. what do you make of the us position on what's happening there, um, nearly four months into the massacre? do you see any genuine change taking place in the way the us has been approaching the genocide? i mean, the us in general have this position of and thinking that they're cowboys that they can sort of go across the globe and police the globe and bomb people into submission, bomb yemenes into submission. bomb the iraqis into submission and so their position has always very much been similar and they haven't really changed their

position in terms of um calling for cease fire, but this is the war that sort of changed all of this. yemenis for instance proved that actually you know you won't be able to bomb us into submission, we they have attacked warships for the first time in history, i mean no one has ever dead attacking us warships and the emines have shown that they you know don't don't actually care um and and and i'm happy to do that all for the liberation of palestine and so when it comes to... us position that doesn't massively change, however it changes when the when their interests are affected, so for example take ukraine as as case study, they have never gone in you know in the trajectory of sort of negotiating with putin because it's not them that's dying, it's the ukrainians that are dying, they don't care about the ukrainians, they can die for all they care um, but when it's us troops are being affected, when it's us interest being affected, the yemenis bombing their ships, they then you global the all important global trade, absolutely, that's when they sort of change their... position and that's why we're seeing these negotiations taking place with you know egypt and and qatar involved, that

to me shows that the us is in the trajectory of of ending this buse it's seriously affecting their interests, very good point there. um fatima, this will be anthony blinkins fifth visit since october 7th, is this case of the chief arsenist returning to the scene of the fire as we heard news say that the is the americans who are actually directing this war has have been since day one? absolutely, we can see, i mean, you one hand the they're saying deescalation, deescalation, and you see cargos and cargos of weapons going into israel, you in a matter of seconds they can they can end this war, um, but you absolutely, they they don't want to, israel has been their baby for the last 75 years and it is, there is no will from them to end this more, they are going into. it hooklying and sa and they are actually escalating the regional war, we see the

bombarded, the iraq, the yemeny ships, even after the icj ruling, when they full well know that where they are aiding and abating the genocide, they are also complicit in the crime, um, you they've lost all credibility absolutely to be any kind of peace broker in this case. right, um, newer, politically, where does all of this uh put the united states and it's other allies such as the uk, germany, um, they haven't been able to, they have support their ally, israel in the region, the israeli regime with all that support, diplomatic, economic and military, has not been able to subdue as you say, or or um beat the resistance in the gaza strip, um, they're still there. but there's a lot of destruction and as you say they will be complicit in what has taken place there,

where does that leave the united states and his allies politically? i mean they are um very quickly running out of time and i i think also running out of um you know patience for these radio occupation entity they were given a certain time limit, we were told at the beginning that it was up until the end of january for them to be able to achieve at least a single goal militarily and they have failed time and time again to combat a small lit resistance. faction in the gaza strip and let's not forget that also under huge pressure um from the northern um from the northern front um with lebanon for instance lebanon has introduced new um weapon technology with live camera footage that can record any target that it hits and so therefore you know it's only half of it by the way absolutely and so they've proven time and time again that they that they're unable to um uh do anything to to sort of like minimize the strength of the um the resistance and so the us and and and its allies are running out of patients and you you see the... with for example david cameron coming out and and suggesting that you know he might recognize a palestinian state and

that that could also be a sign of you know um trying to get out the israeli occupation entity and let them know we're about to recognize not not get stuck in the quackmire that israel is trying to pull them into absolutely they're having to sort of change their position publicly although you know that isn't necessarily the case in reality correct all right just a quick reminder to our viewers this is gaza under attack with me. side purza where we shine a spotlight on the ongoing usraeli carnage in the gaza strip. support for zinus israel continues to dwindle amongst the jewish people, arthur and former academic sabi sagal told press tv there are jews like him who are proud of being called anti-saionist. i come from a jewish family, my parents were russian jewish refugees from nazi europe. i was born in london. um, i was brought up in a very strong zionist atmosphere, um, but i broke with

zionism at the time of the 1967 war, and i've been campaigning for... palestinian rights and freedom and national self-determination ever since, so pleased to be called an anti-sionist jew, i think the creation of the state of israel was a great mistake as well as a crime, and it inevitably resulted in the uh forced displacement, the ethnic cleansing the majority of the palestinian people, first of all in the nakba of 1948 when the quarters of million palestinians. were expelled at gunpoint by zionist militia, again 300 thousand also expelled by the zionists in 1967, and i see no future uh in the long term for the state of israel. israel claims to be haven for jews, in fact statistically since 1945 and the country in which no count,

there's no country in the world in which more jews have died for one reason or another, soldiers or from terrorists. attacks than israel, so far from being a safe haven, it has made uh, it is a more dangerous place for jews, and is not sold the problem of antisemitism, in fact it has aggravated the problem of antisemitism, it has created more anti-semitism because of what the zianists have done to the palestinians, i think the jewish community is split, um, i don't know exactly the answer to that, but probably majority would say they stand with israel, but a significant minority... is um uh very disturbed by the actions of the state of israel, by the idf and and you would like to see would would support the call for sease fire in gaza and would support um as as i do a one state democratic state of palestine,

ie, i don't whether they would go as far as saying they support the dismantling of the state of israel, but certainly they don't. support this the current status political status quo. palestinians inside gaza are reacting to the news that the un agency that delivers the bulk of humanitarian assistance to the region could soon wind down activities after its largest donors paused funding. israel's allegations that staffers with anrua were involved in operation alaxa flood led by the united states and several other countries to cut off funding and reignite a debate over gaza's biggest humanitarian aid provider. for those already living under bombardment, the cut in services would be catastrophic. i'm one of the people who do not have children to support me or husband. i'm a widow and without the food that we get from the agency, we will not find food eat, and there are many widows like me. the beginning of hell,

because there are 2.2 million refugees, immigrants and displaced people from north to south. and these people are without shelter, food, drink or anything, and as you see and as the world sees, if food is not available for these people, then we are heading towards a famine and a disaster that is the worst in the history of humanity. let's continue the conversation with my guests, fatimary with only few minutes to go, fatima, let me put this next one to you, what do you make of uh the more than 10 western countries led by the us spending much needed funds to unrwa, even as full flitch famon looms and the outcome of investigation by the un into those allegations? well, i think is a disastrous decision, but do you expect any anything less from the western hagemony that has aided and abettered the genocide in front of people's eyes, you, it furthers the hypocrisy of the

western world, if anybody had any little doubt that what this what the western world was was doing in palestine and what it was supporting israel to do, the funding cut absolutely is the final nail in the coffin and proves what the western powers are out to do. mean united the the the united relief, united nations relief agency is the only most important and effective agency that is supporting not only the development but also the distribution of aid, when has it cut the funding, when there is the most unprecedented need in that country, 1.9 million refugees have been displaced ' "we are seeing over 2500 people killed, more under the rubble, majority of the hospitals you have been bombed, and this is the time, literally two

to three days after the icga ruling, which is telling the world and telling israel that you have to provide immediate and effective need to the palestinian people, two to three days after the western world cuts the funding and it's a core." coordinated and an orchestrated political attack on the relief agency. i mean, as we've seen the israel officials have been caught on camera that for them to achieve what they are out to achieve in in palestine, which is the ethnic cleansing and the genocide of the palestinian people, they have to get rid of this united nations agency that is providing relief. so it's absolutely very apparent for people to see what the western world is doing to the palestinian people. noor, um, what is your take on this? is this, as fatima said earlier, a coordinated and orchestrated attack on anrua that came, uh, we got a note, only hours

after the icj ruling. i mean, you have, you have famin um about to take place. this a cutting of funding to unra could mean certain deaths, death for lot of people, thousands of people in the god strip, and yet it has been allowed to happen. i mean, this is um, attempt at discrediting the icj and attempt at discrediting international organizations in general, i mean because the icj um ruled against israel, they're attempting to discredit anything related to the un, um, the before before the icgs even came out, we had israeli occupation entity officials coming onto um british um radio channels such as lbc and saying you know trying to discredit the um icj before the verdict has even come out and that just goes to show that how fearful they were of that. aid organization that's

again linked to the un so they they will you know call anything and everything hamas if that helps them they'll call me hamas you hamas the building hamas everyone is hamas as long as that that you know they're serving their own interest and as long as they're protecting um themselves even if it's from humanitarian aid organization. on the word humanitarian uh at the top of the show we talked about perhaps an upcoming uh pause in the us led israeli genocide in the gaza strip um what i would like to ask you fad is what what would be the point of a of pause at this point uh when the population is displaced the resources um for reconstruction are practically nonexistent more than 70 or 80% the housing stock in the gaza strip has been flattend in relentless israely bombardment over the past more than three months. i think

we all know pause means absolutely nothing at this point in time, we absolutely have to have a permanent cease fire with immediate humanitarian aid to go in, and also we need to have a long-term vision, because nobody is going to build start building anything. in in gaza if you two months down the line uh israel comes in and starts warming everything again, that's what we've seen in the past, you aid is is sent in to build, israel comes in and warms the whole place again, so this is it's not going to achieve anything, we we the people that get in war to um, we we have to have a permanent seas fire and you nothing else will be sufficient um and we absolutely have to have humanitarian aid to go in, because you like you said 70% of the structure is gone, this cannot be built

overnight, it will take a long time to recover the the infrastructure in the country, absolutely, and and a permanent seaspire is what the uh next national pro-palestine demonstration will be asking for coming this weekend, of many that have taken place over the past three months or so. nur fekri, faza medosa, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us and thank you for watching us. gaza under attack will be back tomorrow with the latest. until then, continue to keep palestine in your hearts. goodbye.

the success of the islamic revolution in iran formulated new equations in all of west asia, no two people can argue about that, with resistance in lebanon and palestine posing a real terror to the israeli entity, the culture of resistance has spread beyond gaza and in all the lands of zianis israeli occupied palestine, so much so that the sense of... anxiety with settlers is through the roof and with most wanting to leave, the stands alongside the resistance has extended to iraq, yemen and syria indicating that the islamic revolution has laid the foundation, supported and participated in the growth and expansion of new powers in west asia. west asia revolution this week on the mediast stream.

after the occupation of palestinian lands and creation of the israeli regime, both sides came to realize the power of cinema in getting their messages across. israeli regime used cinema to show the territory it had occupied as heaven on earth, it in order to entice jews from all over the world to migrate to the occupied territories. on the other hand, although belatedly, palestinians also learn to use the power of media and cinema to make their voice heard across the world. it was new battlefield for both sides.

your headlines on press thev the death soll from israely aggression on gaza has topp 27,100, that is average of... 230 palestinians killed every day for the past four months. brussels has summoned tel aviv's ambassador after a belgium or belgian agency was targeted an israely strike in gaza. the inter them follows belgium's bit to keep funding undra. and the iran's president says this country will not start a war but will respond decisively to anyone who bullies it.
