are held in gaza. hamas says dozens of them have been killed in indiscriminate israeli air strikes. the families of the israeli captives have held a new wave of protests in tel aviv to

demand prime minister benjamin netanyahu to secure the release of their loved ones held in gaza. the protesters blamed netanyahu for the death of the captives and urged him to sign deal with the palestinian resistance group to bring the others back alive. on tuesday night, tens of thousands of israelis also gathered in several cities, including in rahovot, hoad hasharon and tel aviv. they demanded the resignation of netanyahu and cabinet. the protesters accused the prime minister for systematically obstructing the gaza ceastfire for his personal and political gains. they refer to new demands by netanyahu in negotiations with hamas that have provoked. public anger, israelis, including the families of the captives have held rallies almost a daily basis since the regime launched its war on gaza. meanwhile, in tel aviv, scuffles broke out between protesters and israeli police on tuesday night.

"the protest followed a general strike called by the israeli labor union against netanyahu's handling of the gaza war, workers shut down, transport services, banks and schools in what was major blow to the israeli economy. netanyahu stands accused of blocking the gaza truce deal with his insistance on the continued control over the israeli created philadelphia and netzarem corridor." in gaza, this madh hamas resistance movement has demanded a full israeli withdrawal from the entirety of gaza as per any kind of deal. meanwhile, the israeli war cabinet member benny gun said israel should focus on bringing the remaining captives back home from gaza safely. and we discussed the

growing a public anger against the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. in our news review program, let's take a listen, well joining us on this edition of press tv's news review, we have academic broadcaster and investigative journalist and researcher, mr. david miller, joining us from uh bristol, also we have a spokesman of the international schiller institute from potsdam, germany, mr. harley schlanger, gentlemen, welcome to the program. let's start off with mr. uh miller, i want to get your thoughts on uh the massive uh demonstrations by israelis against uh the uh israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu, these demonstrations have been going on for quite some time now uh denouncing uh the way that he has uh has continued with this war,

prosecuted this war and has not been uh able to bring the captives home yet, well these are ongoing protests as you say and of course there's the associate. policy on the question the cease fire, of course, as we know, as everyone knows, netanyahu is putting additional conditions in the way of settlement, because he knows that if there was a settlement in a c fire that he would be gone as prime minister, and that's that's the difficulty is that he his personal future is invested on keeping the conflict going, that's why there is movement in that regard, but these are let's remember not protests as i said to protect palestinian rights. "they are the israeli public is almost to a person united on the need for the genocide in gaza,

it's just that they want to cat the genocide a different way. right, and mr. schlanger, talking about how netaneo was obstructed uh any form of a ceasefire agreement, even israel's benny gats is saying that netanyahu is sacrificing uh the uh the captives uh for the..." control of the philadelphia corridor, which uh, which has also been seen as another way of just prolonging this war for his personal gain, which we all know that um, by the time this genocidal war comes to an end, it will also mean the end of netanyahu's political lifeline as well. well, it's worth noting that in the eyes of most of the world, netanyahu is a war criminal, and the purpose the mass killing and destruction and... gaza is to eliminate the so-called palestinian problem by eliminating the palestinians. now,

in terms of the opposition in the cabinet, the lead opposition figured lapide described netanyahu as a prime minister without a soul, but i agree with mr. miller, said that this is not a protest against the genocide, and that's where the problem is with the israeli public, that they're protesting the fact that netanyahu is clearly lying when he says he's going to bring. the hostages home safely, he has no intention for a ceasefire, no intention to allow an independent palestinian state, and much of the blame for this, besides the israeli public accepting it, much the blame goes to the biden administration and the american government, which continues to make vague threats to withhold aid, but has refused to do anything serious to stop the genocide, so the war criminal netanyahu must be stopped, ultimately. it's going to take the united states to tell him there'll be no more aid, no more money until he

accepts a ceastfire and pulls the troops out. all right, thanks lot, gentlemen, um, david miller, academic broadcaster and investigative researcher joining us from bristol and thanks to harley schlanger, spokesman of the international schiller institute from pontsdam, germany. with that brings us to an end here on this edition of the news review, but uh, stick around, there's plenty more to come here on press tv, see you in a bit. the israeli regime's raids into the occupied west bank process for the eighth consecutive day as palestinian fighters mount a fierce defense. heavy clashes have erupted in janin and

of government failure, incompetence, dishonesty and greed. "the simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable, and those who lived in the tower were badly failed over number of years and in a number of different ways, by those who were responsible for ensuring the safety of the building and its occupants. the damming final report stated that the main contributors to the death toll..." were the failure of successive governments, indifference safety by authorities, and lack of strategy by firefighters. it also accuses building material firms of systematic dishonesty and had deliberate engagement to manipulate testing processes and mislead the market. the fire which spreads rapidly through the 24-story block in west london is said to have

grandfathers having been clergyman, while he himself gained ittahad, that is, the permission to issue religious rulings at the age of 30. for the many scholars and attendants, he was teacher, guide and mentor as they pursued their own paths of knowledge. for me with that. to shadow it out, he was one of the most inspirational people in my life when it comes to my journey of faith, um, he never doubted me, he was very supportive, very encouraging um from from you know supervising my work initially at the house, to giving me suggestions, to allowing me to to take this garment and to later on uh giving me continuous advice and direction on how to uh deliver and propagate the message of islam, as a personal figure, that i would like to remember is he was my teacher, he was inspiration and i'm lost with words truly to describe what a great figures father milani
