earlier we were joined by human rights activist gina rabai from the lebanese capital bayrut. she talked about the reasons behind the us push for new draft resolution on the gaza ceizfire. it is very crucial emphasize again and again the major role of the us as accomplice in the israeli war crimes and in all this israeli uh genocide and this brutality on gaza. previously we addressed the us funding of this war by supplying weapons to the israeli regime and that if it was not for this supply, the war would have ended, because israel doesn't have the ability to exhaust its military equipment in a long-term war, especially that it is fighting on several fronts. then we spoke about the us multiple times and unilaterally blocking the way a sease fire decision by the general assembly through its veto alleged right, and now the us totally stopped its founding of the unurwa in another clear indication that it is accomplice in the israeli starvation against the palestinian civilians in gaza, not only did the us stop the funds for the erwa, but it also totally disregarded the israeli bo

from tehran and thanks to irani and affairs expert cadium shut auto, speaking to us from the lebanese capital bayrut, and special thanks to your viewers for staying with us tonight spotlight, it's good night for now, see you next time. it seems the israeli occupation will conclude the grand operation in the city of khan unis in southern gaza within days, withdrawing thereafter to the newly established security zone along the border with gaza, just as it did weeks ago in the city of gaza and its surroundings to the north. does this mean that the next step is to begin the ground operation in rafah? it appears that the decision regarding the operation is still pending, not only for field related reasons, but lot of regional players preferred the... negotiating path to end the ziness aggression against gaza, hence all eyes are now a possible improved prisoner exchange deal, both inform and content compared to the first paris formula reached between qatar, egypt, the united states and the zianist israeli entity last january. gaza talks underway this week on the media stream. the subject of this week's ep

press tv's mariam salah is joining us now once again from the lebanese capital bayrut to tell us more about the intensified aggression uh by the israeli regime and uh the response coming from the hizwe resistance. moving mariam: yes, what hizbullah had said in their statement where they denounced uh the aggression against uh the town of hibi and the killing of the paramedics and they stressed in their statement that this will not go unpunished as we know from hazbullah they have retaliated for the aggressions that are launched by the israelis but there are always different retaliation retaliatory operations when we do have ' civilians killed and you do have such massacers that are committed by the israelis especially since we do have a targeting of a medical center and the killing of paramedics and the fact you do... "this also led to danger of many in that area, so said they targeted with tens of rockets, the settlement of kiriyatishmuna itself, in addition to the barracks of triyatishmona, which includes the main command center for the 769th division of the israeli army, that in its

press tv's mariam salah is joining us now from the lebanese capital bayrut to with more on the recent israeli aggression uh in south levan mody have to share with us. well, in addition to the information you've mentioned, of course this is considered very dangerous escalation from the israely side. here we're talking about a medical center, we there were patients, there were people who were ill, there were also the paramedics and medical stuff, they've all been under this this attack, and of course this was considered by husballah as an issue and an aggression that will not go unpunished, and so basically what everyone is waiting now for is to see the retaliation of hizbullah, we've seen that hizbullah had been previously past master. first this is perhaps biggest massacer after the sani massacer um and have been looking basically to see where there is new target, they have been creative in how they are retaliating for the israelis not to make it just one part of the routine operations and so this is what many are waiting for, what does hezbulah still have when it comes to how they ar

is gives us the... does keep thanks lot mariam press tv's mariam sal joining us from the lebanese capital bayrut. also, the cease fire talks in cairo between hamas and israel have ended without a breakthrough. the negotiations are reportedly set to resume next week, but hopes are dim uh for a result, especially before ramadan. earlier in our explainer program we discussed the issue in details. let's take a listen. now there's a real push for a temporary ceasefire or a temporary truth to take place before ramadan when it comes to the us israel genocidal aggression. the us and the israeli regime while giving the impression that they are after a cease fire are still continuing with the genocidal war full steam ahead, as of punishing the palestinian side to succumb to their terms. now at this point, hamas has received the draft proposal of the deal and has agreed to some of the terms. now taking a look at the first stage in terms of what it would cover, well based on the ceasefire which in the first stage is going to take place, the time frame is 40 days, as you see here. in order for that to happen

across the libanese capital bayrut and beyond reading slogans such as implementing international resolutions enhances stability, or lebanon does not want war. if you asked all lebanese whether they would want an israeli war to begin in lebanon, the unanimous response would be no, especially with decades of experience with the israeli regime. and it's disproportionate targeting of civilians, yet what seems like a simple billboard has deeper implications for a country like lebanon. experts tell press tv that certain groups in lebanon have launched this campaign to put people against the resistance a time of war, but are these factions working alone? this campaign, we can say that it doesn't represent the lebanese people, and especially in that it is, and we have information. it is funded by foreign countries, those parties and those factions, they were controlled by the us embassy in beirut, the us ambassador as she was deporting beirot and also receiving her successor lisa johnson, they were working on this in a way that would you know help uh and his pressures put on lebanon. hawksteen, who was an israeli-american businessman and lobbist has gone back and forth from
