2005, after the elections, mahmoud abbas officially became the second chairman of the palestinian national authority. in 2012, the palestinian state received observer status at the un. the general assembly granted palestine the status of observer state at the united nations, which was an important turning point on the path to becoming an independent. 10 thousand years, and there shone a truly biblical miracle, the tree of zacchaeus, to which more than 2 thousand years old, perhaps the only witness, a living witness of jesus christ. this tree was named after the tax collector zacchaeus. in the gospel of luke, in chapter nineteen, it is described: how the tax collector zacchaeus, being short in stature, climbed this fig tree in order to see christ. incredible, but true: the two-thousand-year-old tree of zacchaeus, which is 15 m high, and the trunk circumference is more than 5.5 m, bears fruit every year and brings the juiciest, most tender figs. this makovnica grows on land that belongs to russia. even in at the end of the 19th century , the imperial orthodox palestine society was created in our count

you are a former advisor to the palestinian authority. is it? don't think it is a secret that iran has provided support to various groups, various armed palestinian groups in the west bank and in gaza. i don't know that there has been any dramatic change in that regard. but as we heard from alon just a moment ago, iran is a very convient bogeyman. it is important to the constituency of this extreme government in israel. but it also resonates with parallel constituencies with republicans in the u.s. congress, with conservatives in europe, playing this civilizational card of the islamic bogeyman epicenter in iran. i think it serves a certain ideological narrative. samantha: the islamic state is committed to the destruction of the state of israel, isn't it? israelis would say and the government would say it has a right to defend itself. khaled: against what? what exactly is israel defending itself? samantha: against militants who are supplied by and supported by a regime that wants to see its destruction. khaled: yeah. first of all, i don't know tha

. time now for the social media posts. first up, this was major piece of news. hamas, the palestinian authorities pa, fatah party and 12 other palestinian factions signed a chinese broker reconciliation agreement during meetings in beijing, which began on the 21st of july and ended on july 23. next, palestinian authority agreed to amend school. curricula as part of a 400 million euro eu fund. netanya u mentioned his plans of new curricula that rejected violence and extremism. the pa is literally working hand in hand with israel to tear apart the fabric of palestinian society. next, the headline read israel may cut off palestinian banks from the global banking system next week, it said march of 2024, that didn't happen, but that is something that's still in the works. the fact that this really finance minister can do this. palestinian banks and the palestinian economy, well it tells you all you need to know about the system the palestinians live under in the west bank and in gaza. then, with people losing jobs, workers losing their permits and increased violence, the #westbank economy is its knees

so by i think by doing this, prime minister netanyahu is weakening the palestinian authority, which doeslestinian state and which the americans say should be a big part of the future, not just in the west bank, but in gaza, which, again, that is something netanyahu is very much against. so weakening his enemies there in the palestinian state. and also today as well, part of the growth of violence has been the activities of armed settlers. the americans sanctioned the settler group and a notorious settler leader today saying extremist settler violence causes intense human suffering and is bad for israel's security. now, last point, really, that the israeli government's position is that all this land isjewish land. palestinians disagree. they want it as part of their state. but what's happening right now is that it's on fire. that was our international editorjeremy bowen. we asked janine zacharia — middle east analyst and lecturer at stanford university — if she shared his viewpoint. i thought he made some interesting points about i take one issue with how the palestinian authority has not

mahmoud abbas, as the head of the palestinian national authority , first visited moscow on an official visit on february 1, 2005. since then, two dozen meetings at the highest level have taken place. i will tell you frankly, the former president palestine, yasser arafat, visited moscow in 1968 together with the president of egypt gamal abdalnassar. i myself visited moscow for the first time in 1979. i was part of a delegation of representatives. this visit lasted 10 days, and it will remain in my memory for a long time, since then the soviet union, that the russian federation, never betrayed the palestinian people, were always on their side. i remember when the soviet union collapsed, many visits stopped. but i was the only one who came to moscow every 3 months. russia is our bosom friend. i don’t remember it ever treating us badly or acting against us? no matter what requests we made of the russian federation, it was always ready to help us. was born on march 26, 1935 in the city of sofet, graduated from the faculty of law of damascus university, postgraduate study at the university o

iof targeted three areas simultaneously, jenin, tokaram and tobas. following the incursion, palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas cut short his visit to saudi arabia and headed back home. meanwhile, the israeli foren ministers compared the west bank incursions to the war in gaza. a post on his x account, israel cats said the iof must implement similar measures being carried out in the war thorn palestinian territory in the west bank as well. we have to deal with with threats in the west bank like gaza and implement temporary evacuations because this war is about everything. reacting to cat's statement, hamas spokesman isat al rishik slammed israely ministers warmungering rhetoric and called on the international community to take immediate action. the israeli minister's request is fascist one aimed at expanding the scope of destruction, genocide and ethnic cleansing of palestinians. it shows israel's insistence on the violation of international law and israeli terrorist leaders impunity from accountability for their crimes against humanity, the international community and the united nation

control over both the west bank and gaza because currently the west bank is controlled by the palestinian authority which acts as the arm of the zionist occupation. and mahmoud abbas, the head of this organization, which doesn't represent all palestinians, admits to this himself, he calls their security agreement between the palestinian authority and the zinity as something that is sacred, so they want to remove any all aspects so that they can completely uh control the west bank through their puppets and collaborators such as mahmoud abbas, and it's also a way to feed their settlers that they're doing something against so-called terrorism, which is actually the oppressed people, uh using their legitimate moral and divine right to engage in armed resistance against the oppressor, against an occupier, against the illegitimate entity. um, because they're losing so heavily in gaza, they have nothing to show for in gaza, they have nothing to show for uh in lebanon, uh, hisbullah just hit their units 8200 office near to tel aviv, which was very, it's a very powerful uh operation, may not may not be as b

following the incursion, palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas cut short his visit to saudi arabia and headed back home. meanwhile, the israeli foreign ministers compared the west bank incursions to the war in gaza. on a post on his ex account, israel cats said the iof must implement similar measures being carried out in the war thorn palestinian territory in the west bank as well. we have to deal with threats in the west bank like gaza and implement temporary evacuations because this... war is about everything, reacting to kat's statement, hamas spokesman is zat al-rishik slammed israeli ministers war mungering rhetoric and called on the international community to take immediate action. the israeli minister's request is fascist one aimed at expanding the scope of destruction, genocide and ethnic cleansing of palestinians. it shows israel's insistance on the violation of international law and the israeli terrorist leaders impunity from accountability for their crimes against humanity. the international community and the united nations should immediately stop us support for the isra

slapsoth, author and west asia expert joins us from belfast. also joining us is assad abu shark, palestinian academic and activist from dublin. welcome to you both subshath, let me first start with you. so our worst fear is here, i believe it's been going on for decades at this point, but we're looking at this single day, being the largest military operation by the israeli regime forces. at this point a dozen palestinians have been killed, and uh, we're looking at many areas, jan nobel tocarment to bus to have been targeted with drones, war planes and bulldozers. what are your initial thoughts on this? to begin, hello to you and to your guest, natanyahu's political power over this entity stems from the settler support, and we can notice his top cabinet ministers are to smotric or bengavir are two settlers, both of these settlers are linked to the boys of the hells, they call them these terror settlers gang group, and these are... the people, both of them, smartlich and the bingavir are handed over the to rule over the west bank by netanyou to, so these guys are... are in in a way they want t

, even the palestinian authority, no, there will be no such thing, palestinian state, palestinian authority. what does this mean, this whole thing, what does it mean to say that we're approaching a stage, once again i underscore, god forbid and god willing, it won't happen, if natanyahu and netanyahu's government and the american zionist alliance were to achieve victory against the resistance in gaza and the west bank and the region, but especially. tens of thousands of women and children would run loose in the region and everyone would must bow down to it and this was raised in the deal of a century by the way of trump. i wanted to refer to these points to say that there are dangers here. we must remind of and pay attention to within this same framework we are witnessing the ugly shameful american hypocrisy, unbelievable hypocrisy, this requires a speech by itself, but give you few examples, for example in 1993 the american administration, it is the one which sponsored the oslow agreement, it was the sponsor, it was the guarantee. between the plo and the entity, what did america

decision to revoke the palestinian, the diplomatic status rather of norway's envoys to the palestinian authority draw strong condemnation from the european union. hello and welcome everybody, it's 11:30 am here in the iranian capital tehron, you're watching press tv's world news. israel has bombed two schools in gaza during its latest attacks on the besieg palestinian territory killing at least 15 people. 45 days ago we were targeted in the same location, the same target. today we were sitting inside our classrooms and they struck us again in the same roof, the same target and no one gave us prior warning or told us where to go. we received a distress call from citizens. about several injuries, after investigating the targeted location, it was found that the israeli occupation had simultaneously targeted two schools. civil defense crew went to these schools and others to evacuate the injured people who were still beneath the days and our team have been working there until now. rescu difficulty uh rescuing the survivors trapped under the rubble due to lack of tools, israel bombed the two schools.

> he switch to islamic jihad partly because everyone among his peers had lost faith in the palestinian authorityd them as collaborating with israel and have been very offended that the palestinian security forces whenever israel would come to attack people did not fight the israelis, but either collaborated with them or actually stayed at home, so there has also been growing dissatisfaction with the leader of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas and actually feeling the palestinian state was going nowhere. that there was a stagnation, that life looked hopeless, and as ugly as the hamas invasion was for many young palestinians, it expressed a degree of hope that their own situation was not hopeless forever. amna: we just saw today the united nation secretary-general antonio guterres saying these israeli raids are feeling an explosive situation in the west bank and could further undermine the palestinian authority. >> i think the palestinian authority is undermined in many ways partly through its own faults but also through e israeli government's decision to withhold taxes from them and also af

palestinian authority, the block's foreign policy chief joseph called israel's move unwarranted. he said the decision disrupts the use normal relations with the palestinian authority adding that norway has played a major role in supporting palestinians. the palestinian foreign ministry also accused israel of resorting to baseless pretex to put pressure any government or international institution that tries to halt crimes and violations against palestinians, reacting to israel's decision or... foreign minister said it will have consequences for oslo's relations with tel aviv. norway along with spain and ireland has already announced its decision to recognize the palestinian state. the move has increased the number of un member states recognizing a palestinian state to 1446. as the israeli genocide in gaza rages, gross violations of human rights against the palestinians are being reported a daily basis. now a new leaked video from the israeli semon detention camp uncovers, a fresh and heinous crime causing widespread outrage. press tv's correspondent naga hamed reports from ramalda

all of it further humiliating the already humiliated and impoverished palestinian authority.e, israel is wishing this reality into existence by kind of weakening palestinian authority and security forces to the point where this kind of thing could be plausible. >> i wanted to ask you specifically about the palestinian authority. we saw the president saying there will be dire and dangerous results. what could that actually mean if the authority is so weakened? >> it could mean there could be another palestinian-israeli low intensity war in the west bank similar to the one in gaza but not the one we have seen over the past 10 months, or 8, 9 months, which israel began going from the north to the south destroying everything above ground that is or could possibly be of value to hamas, or even organized society in gaza. it has been a total war against the whole society. the concept of dual use has been stressed to the utmost, where anything that could be of benefit to any fighters has been deemed to dual use and destroyed. that war is overby because there is nothing left to destro

so there's also been a growing satisfaction with the leader of the palestinian authority, mahmoud abbasd the feeling that the palestinian state was really going nowhere, that there was a stagnation, that life looked hopeless, and as ugly as the hamas invasion was for many young palestinians, it expressed a degree of hope that their own situation was not hopeless forever. amna: we just saw today antonio guterres say that these israeli raids are fueling what he called an already explosive situation in the west bank. he said they could further undermine the palestinian authority. what do you make of that? steven: the palestinian authority is pretty well undermined in many ways partly through its own faults but also through the israeli government's decision to withhold taxes from them and also after october 7, they had closed the west bank so palestinians who had legal permits to working israel could no longer go to israel to work and palestinians living in israel could no longer go to places like janine -- jenin so the economy crashed and the palestinian authority was already weakened. now

the protesters also slammed the palestinian national authority urging it to end its security coordination with the occupying israeli regime. today's demonistration aims to raise the awareness that israel is seeking to repeat the 1948 nakba expel palestinians from the west bank and change its status quo through judalization and settlement expansion says it will support has sease fire agreement that is desired by the palestinian people and resistance, iran's foreign minister made the remark during a phone call with his jordanian counterpart. abbas iraqchi said ivan, abbas iraqchi said israel is the main cause of escalation of tensions in the region by continuing with this crimes. the top diplomats stress the need for effective action by the international community in order to stop the israeli genocide. for his part, aiman safadi expressed concern over the human. perian situation in gaza and israel's west bank raids, he said ending of tensions in the gaza strip and the west bank is necessary as soon as possible. also, both sides emphasized on the need for consultations on the regional issues

by the way, the palestinian authority is aware and the palestinian authority is trying to block thistics of this israeli operation is saying that israel is trying to expand the gaza war into the occupied west bank. what you make of that perspective what is happening? i don't think it meets the effect on the ground of the logic. the last thing israel needsis logic. the last thing israel needs is another front. logic. the last thing israel needs is anotherfront. we have to remember that israel is fighting against palestinian militias in the west bank that are not only attacking israel, they are attacking the palestinian authority. i think this argument is not the reality on the ground. ever since october _ reality on the ground. ever since october seven, - reality on the ground. ever since october seven, two l reality on the ground. ever i since october seven, two key areas we have considered in reporting the story are the humanitarian situation in gaza and the fate of hostages taken by hamas. what does this further action by israel do to the fate of those hostages? does it make it mor

piano and israel, what's called the also a port is what allowed for the establishment of the palestinian authority after secret negotiations. where carries out in norwich, a norway's capital, and also allowing for the peace stokes to be announced and continues. now as far as palestinians in the streets would tell you that is really use the interim agreement to make it for a minute. but also that is real chilled any potential for a future palestinian stage killed b o slow i b agreement itself by imposing facts on the ground that prevent any possibilities for a future palestinian state. and abraham reporting from ramada and y'all combined westbank. thank you for that middle. the protesters have again gathered, indeed kenyan capital. nairobi to calls the president william router's resignation . police fired 2 against the demonstrators. they made several arrests. this comes while the president was overseeing the swearing in of a new cabinet. at least 60 people were killed in the protests which began in june. many rights groups accused kenyon police of using excessive force from on this is go to malcol

right now i'm asked and they do of the palestinian authority. one reason paul show that 90 percent of palestinians in the west bank want i would i best to resign? so i think he's, you know, he's got to say something do something to almost trying to say face. but the reality is that the palestinian authority does very little to protect the palestinians against as rarely atrocities in the west bank. okay, thank you so much for your analysis to cause all were 28000 and have been killed and is really attack since thursday morning. several people were killed after a strike on 10 housing displaced people near the city of con unice. since october, more than $40600.00 palestinians have been killed, most of the victims were women and children. all the world food program suspended the movement of fits staffing garzo after that is really military shot at one of its vehicles. cracked window showed the impact of at least 10 bullets fired at the car. that was marked as a u. n. vehicle that attack happen year and is really check points on tuesday nights. no one

the first to be put in moscow from the hamasites even when he was the prime minister of the palestinian authorityand they invited him there, plus his contacts with iran, secondly, to him just such a political position, he was considered soft there from the point of view of relations with israel in general, but it is not clear what this softness was, we saw how he behaved on october 7 in the 23rd year, when he he was just happy that those children and women were killed, but at the same time, in the approaches to stop exactly the military... actions, he turned out to be a very tough negotiator who refused the final result all the time, and those hamatovs who are in the gas, well , let's say they were already ready for certain conditions, and he kept breaking them, so what i suppose just his death could change the situation if, if it doesn't lead to a bigger escalation in terms of the exchange of blows between iran and israel there, that's another story, so no, it's the zmi, and that's basically what you understand , if you destroy the entire politburo of hamas, in terms of effectiveness, these... o

was the first to go to moscow from the hamasites even when he was the prime minister of the palestinian authority invited him there, plus his contact. with iran, secondly, he simply has such a political position, he was considered soft there from the point of view of relations with israel in general, but it is not clear what this softness was, we saw how he behaved on october 7 in in the 23rd year, when he was simply happy that those children and women were killed, but at the same time, in the approaches to stop the military actions, he turned out to be very... you understand, if you destroy the entire hamas politburo, the effectiveness of this organization. they did a lot of damage, but if there is no more khaniya, there is no deif, khaled mashal remains yahisenvar among such quite serious people, mohabeda bu marzuk, but he does not play such a prominent role, this is a problem for them, khaniya, it is a big problem in general, he is a person with a huge number of political connections, and the level of connections that he had and trust in him, no one from hamas had ever had, international, i me

the latest sociological polls showed that if there were elections for the president of the palestinian authority70% of people voted for hanya. by the way, this says a lot about the attitudes of the civilian population, right? so there is a question of how it will develop, in principle we are on the verge of a possible major war in the region, it is true. that is, mr. vitaly, if we talk about... this previous massive strike by missiles and drones by iran on israel, then, by the way, many analysts said that a similar strike was such that it could be repelled, because at that time, there was no relevant conjunctural situation where iran would be directly interested in inflicting a crushing defeat on israel. now this situation, with the basis for the future answer, has completely... changed, i am correct got it, snake, i don't think there will be a special blow then, so that israel can repel it. iran, it seems, simply did not count on the fact that its missiles and drones would not reach israel and would be destroyed in the airspace of other countries. this, by the way, is what we tell our allies al

israel for many, many years and had money for this, which they lived on, and look, in the palestinian authorityat is , in the gas sector, they... do not have their own currency, they have either dollars that come to them from abroad the border from the arab world, or the shekel, is the currency of israel, they do not have their own currency, because, in order to buy something, in the same territory of palestine or the palestinian authority, they need either dollars or shekels, and they have to be earned, and if they don't have work here, and there are a lot of them now, nobody comes here for to us for work, they don't have money, and because of that... i think that there are absolutely, well, people who, i don't know if i'm calling them correctly, people who are members of hamas, who, from the first step of one's life, from the first words, from the first feeling of the environment, there are already hamasites, then of course they are for the fact that they agree to die so that israel dies, and he was not, but there is a part of people who i think they want to live, well, if not completely in p

palestinians suffering mounts day by day. naqa hamed for press tv. ramallah. iran has congratulated yahya sin war on his appointment as the new political leader of hamas, calling the election demonstration of hope, unity and authority in the palestinian resistance movement. acting foreign minister ali bogari khani said sin was appointment also displays the failure of israel's policy of terror, occupation and aggression. he has said that the palestinian resistance will continue the path of hismarted leader ismaal hanye until the liberation of the entire historical. of palestine from the river to the sea later an interview also said the israeli regime committed a costly strategic mistake by assassinating. the act that designers carried out in tehran was a strategic mistake because it will cost them gravely. israel is absolutely in no position to wage a war against the islamic republican. bargari also said israel seeks to expand tension, war and conflict to other countries. he added that israel has neither the capacity nor the strength to fight iran. hanye was assassinated. last week during his visit to iran to attend the swearing in ceremony of president masu pesishian. terran has vowed that the killing will not go u

putin has reiterated moscow's support for palestinian statehood during a meeting with visiting palestinian authority chief mahmoud abbas. putin told abbas that russia believes a full-fledged palestinian state is necessary for establishing a long, reliable and stable peace in the region. he also called for. menting the united nations's decisions regarding gaza and expressed concern over civilian deaths in the gaza war, putin added that moscow is doing everything possible to support palestine and its people, meanwhile mahmoud abbas referred to russia as one of the dearest friends of the palestinian people, and thanked putin for his support. and with that, it brings us to the end of this world news. bulletin right here press tv, thank you all so much for staying tuned. crisis devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli. crackdown, diplomacy. iran's right to retaliate against israel. according. to statistics, many children born after the first persian gulf war and the years after it were affected with leukemia. the most likely thing, or least that scientifically, is the exposure to the materials that the s

the palestinian leaders for a long time, even as the prime minister of the organization the palestinian authority was for a long time, his party had the majority in the parliament, in fact , hamas was in charge of the palestinian authority, and it was the largest party in the parliament, well , he is one of the palestinian leaders, they are responsible for the rights of the international leaders of palestine is now finally a member of the united nations, although it is not a full member, but it actually enjoys many advantages of being a member of the united nations . the zionist regime of israel has completely violated these four ages. well, now here we are facing the united nations charter and that the governments that they are violated, and now this armed aggression is of course different, whether we can consider an assassination as a serious attack on a country or not, but the actions of the zionist regime are beyond this, that is, systematic actions and continuous actions in terror. well, in the islamic republic of iran , how much damage has the israeli regime done in our various facilities?

are they are trying to kill the idea using weapons and that will never happen if one the palestinian." authority, אבל כל עוד אפשר להתעלם ולא. to be able to focus its efforts on these other fronts? well, i think this is the thing that netanyahu wants most today, but the problem isn't with what you want, is what it's the the ability you have to do uh to achieve your goals. i think no, israel is so far of shifting from gaza towards the north, and there are many... reasons: first, realistically speaking, if the military has been in in a war for more than 10 months and it hasn't achieved its goals in very small area like gaza that which doesn't have strategic weapons, then how will this military face a very a very stronger enemy at another place, so for the military isn't ready, second and this is also important, the how the military perceives hisbollah today, there is you can hear it from these... videos and you can see it on social media, israelis are really afraid of the war with, they need it, they ask for it, but then but at the same time they are afraid of it, whereas if you ask the the other e

more recent polling show showed that he would have uh won any free and fair election for the palestinian authoritygainst certainly someone like mahmoud abbas who is incredibly unpopular even in the west bank. no indeed, but briefly arm buse we want to go to the next video report, mean latifa mentioned hier's interest in in sufi islam, mean how did that affect his political posture when it came to building regional alliances? well you know being a sufi muslim being interested in sufi islam that essentially he was sp in a very crude way sort of more of moderate, he was more open and tolerant of other uh interpretations of islam sure uh that would include of course shia muslims and and in yemen and so it meant that he was less inclined during the sort of serious split that happened back in 2011 to join on the side of the people who were trying to overthrow basar al-asad these people w of course very unsavory characters, there was some elements of hamas who did end up sort of supporting them and then rode back, but ismael han was more inclined to sort of the the wider axis of resistance, sure no indee
