regarding yahya sinwar , the leader of the resistance in gaza, they said that yahya sinwar created a human shield from the zionist prisoners. now, two or three days ago, this zionist himself published a video from inside gaza, which shows that yahya sinwar is the only person around him. the members of their own family are fighting the war of truths and lies. it was not just a field war. it is a war of narratives. a war that is associated with the narrative war and its importance at the same time as the field war. the narrative war is in front of the eyes of the world and shows who is lying and what someone on waste. who is the aggressor and who is the defender? and this indeed. the extent of political power. with the pictures taken by children and young people , little girls make films that show that they are a generation that is actually at the height of wonder and now palestine has won the war of narratives. the whole world now believes the palestinian narrative and promotes that palestine is the target of rape , that israel is a barbarian, that israel is a criminal , that palestin

how did yahya sinwar strike you? he was a really charismatic man. he was smart.a pity that he — all his mind was all about how to killjews and infidels. that was his mind. full of hating to thejew and to the infidel. but he was quite open about that? of course. we were making conversation and we were talking after he finished the interrogation, you know? while sinwar was in prison, hamas was elected to power in gaza. a year later, it violently removed its political rivals, taking total control. israel, together with its neighbour egypt, tightened the blockade. both were concerned about their security. but from jail, sinwar was secretly forging links with iran to try and beat the blockade. he sent messengers to iran. he asked them to send trainers to gaza strip and to send, you know, weapon and arms. and they agreed to help them with everything that they need. that was the very beginning. gunfire sinwar was released in 2011, one of more than 1,000 palestinians freed in exchange for one captured israeli soldier. six years later, sinwar was leader of hamas in gaza a

now, two or three days ago, this zionist himself published a video from inside gaza that shows yahya sinwar. the only people around him are his own family members . how did you see the battle of truths and lies during this battle? yes, recently we have said that this war was not just a war in the field, it is a war of narratives, a war that is accompanied by a war of narratives , etc., and the importance of the war of narratives is in front of the eyes of the world at the same time as the war in the field. who is the aggressor and who defends who is lying, who is lying, and who is defending, and this actually shows the amount of political power, psychological and psychological, that all forces try to use historically in the war with israel. the war was formed, israel was comfortable with the media sector, it spread lies and distorted the facts and published false and fake narratives , while the resistance and the palestinian people are fighting without means , they are fighting without power, and they are only fighting with honest narratives. the images that children and young people shoot

have a sunday times report titled israel hunts hamas leader in gaza's khan unis, referring to yahya sinwar, so they show a propaganda video uh released by the army which shows them just ripping through khan unis destroying, shooting, you can't see what they're shooting at uh, remember the south of gaza was supposed to be safe haven for palestinians when... war started in the first months of the war they were saying uh the people who uh the people can flee to the south and they'll be fine, well the north has been destroyed, central gaza has been destroyed, the south is currently being destroyed and all of these people are trapped in rafa, and that's i mean the israeli army says this is hamas's last stronghold, but they have no evidence where they don't know where any of these hamas leaders might be. so what what do they wish to say? with such a report uh, i mean, they're basically saying that israel's hunting hamas, we're hunting terrorists, so it's an excuse, it's okay, an entire city has been destroyed, it doesn't matter, and they have no evidence except hypotheticals, again, like i said,

uninhabitable and to genocide and who are they are supposedly going to find in those tunnels, yahya sinwar, marwan isa, muhammad def, and and they've never found any of the leaders so far, including yahya sanwar, muhammad def and absolutely not, and they claim they've destroyed entire battalions and that hamas is near defeat and it's nowhere near defeat as we can see, well i want definitely i want to thank you very much for your analysis of what kind of fake news or propaganda the western media is portraying for the public, thank you very much. uh for being with us, basically telling us this. now ladies and gents, let us move to digital mainstream media, new report from the united nations trade body highlighted the unprecedented scale of destruction and impact from the war in gaza. how was that handled by the mainstream media? julia, thank you for being with us, julia qasim, what do you have for us on that specific? matter: so surprisingly mara, a cnn interviewed richard kozel wright who is the director of globalization and development strategies at the un conference for trade and developm

it is to focus on the character of yahya al sinwar, abu ibrahim.th the issue of negotiations is that the israelis are in a very big dilemma, especially..." netanyahu, and this impass is complex to the point that if he goes for deal, he will lose smart rich, ben gavir on the israeli right, and if he does not go, he will lose the americans, and he will lose gance, eisencock and the other party, as well as lipit who tried to secure protection for him and the survival of his administration. i believe that the issue of the negotiations was regional and international pressure on the resistance to accept to some extent the truth. "the resistance participated in it and stipulated more than one condition for acceptance. first, there would be a withdrawal of the israeli forces from the gaza strip preceeded by a comprehensive and complete cessation of aggression, and also the construction equipment and sheltering, the displaced, and some other conditions. they also face the issue of the exchanges of the captives. the regional council said, why don't we revers

benjamin netanyahu and yahya sinwar. neither one of them want this war to end.ar, he wants to be winning this war. once this war is over he knows that he's going to be faced with election, he's going to be voted out and he's going to be held on trial. yahya sinwar, on the other hand, the leader of hamas, he wants to bleed israel dry, he wants to keep this thing going, he can't win. he can't win this thing, israel has overwhelming superiority. so those are the main road blocks here to some kind of long—term resolution. netanyahu's already said he's not going to allow the palestinian authority in, he's not going to allow a sunni arab coalition to come in. what else is there besides that? sojust very quickly, you don't think the prospect of a longer ceasefire is very good at this point? not at this point, i don't. colonel, it's been good to get your perspective and analysis and expertise on this. thank you so much for joining us tonight. thanks for having me. moving on to the 2024 campaign for president in the us, our news partner cbs projects president biden as th

captive by hamas in gaza saw the release of ya hya captive by hamas in gaza saw the release of yahya sinwarl hamas leader in gaza, seen as the mastermind of the attacks. that makes it very difficult for people to accept the notion of these prisoner swaps, and it is thought that in exchange for some a0 of the remaining israeli hostages held in gaza, that is really a minority of them, that we would have in exchange for that some a00 palestinian prisoners released from israeli jails. this is according to the reports that have been leaked out, they would indeed, we are told, include some who have been convicted of serious offences, of terrorism, by israel. it would be seen as having israeli blood on their hands. yolande knell with the analysis from jerusalem, thank you very much. with more on the 30,000 deaths, let's speak to bbc verify. ibibic more on the 30,000 deaths, let's speak to bbc verify.— more on the 30,000 deaths, let's speak to bbc verify. bbc verify has been covering _ speak to bbc verify. bbc verify has been covering this _ speak to bbc verify. bbc verify has been covering this wa

boris, just yesterday, israel's defense minister, yoav gallant, described hamas's leader in gaza, yahya sinwar, it's a man on the run, running from location to location, making it difficult for him to command his forces. and communicating with other hamas leaders. that may be why it took nine days for hamas to ultimately respond in this case here. but what's also clear is that hamas has also answered and now that these negotiations are still ongoing, the fighting is still very intense in gaza at this hour. we have seen earlier today that there has been intense fighting not only in southern gaza, worthy israeli military for nearly two weeks now, has been pressing forward with a major offensive in western khan yunis, for they say they've killed dozens of militants over the last 24 hours, but also heavy fighting and strikes in central and in northern gaza, where the israeli military had actually withdrawn thousands of troops in recent weeks. and we're also getting new images of the absolutely you know, enormous destruction in parts of gaza. you mentioned that video from andra, the refugee agency,

on tuesday, they released a video showing hamas leader yahya sinwar moving freely through the tunnelsow the hard hit city of khan yunis. while the people of gaza are suffering above ground, sinwar is hiding in tunnels underground underneath them, running like the coward that he is and with fighting now ramping up in the southern city of rafah, diplomats from both sides are scrambling to get the new cease fire in place. but it won't be easy where hamas fits into that. >> all of the other pieces, that's things that we're going to have to work through with our partners in israel. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is reportedly told his negotiators not to return to the talks unless hamas drops its demand for an israeli withdrawal from the gaza strip in tel aviv. >> mike tobin, fox news. >> speaker of the house mike johnson says congress will not be rushed to pass the $95 billion foreign aid package for israel, ukraine and other allies. his remarks signal another pause over sending military hardware and munitions to ukraine and its war against russia. senators overwhelmingly approv

meantime, israeli officials say they have obtained cctv footage showing hamas leader, yahya sinwar. it side a tunnel below the southern gaza city of han units with his wife, children, and another unidentified man. the idf claims the video is from october 10, though cnn cannot verify the video shows sinwar or when it was recorded journalist elliott gotkine is following all these developments for us. he joins us now, live from london. good morning to you elliot. so what is the latest on those negotiations for the release of hostages in exchange for a pause in fighting in gaza rosemary, no breakthrough, but no breakdown either. these talks are ongoing even if the high level delegation that israel sent to cairo has now returned. the main sticking point. do we understand from a us official is hamas has demands for the ratio for the number of palestinian prisoners and the type of palestinian prisoners. there's knows that it wants released in exchange for freeing the more than 100 israelis that it kidnapped as part of its terrorist attacks of october the seventh. now you recall we were tal

seven odd cnn in our world lead newly released video purportedly showing the leader of hamas, yahya sinwar is >> officials say the cctv footage is from october 10 and appears to show sinwar walking with his wife, children, and brother inside a tunnel below the southern gaza city of khan yunis. cnn cannot independently verify that sinwar is the man seen in the video. video nor can we verify when it was recorded in the idf did not provide additional evidence to support its claims, but we do know that khan yunis has been a center of the israeli siege against hamas in recent weeks. let's get to cnn's nic robertson, who's in tel aviv for us, nick, what more are israeli officials saying about this video and why do they think it's significant? >> they say that this is indicative of their effort to track down any intelligence that can give them any information about where sinwar is at the moment, we know that they've been going through the tunnels in hanunis and even found a tunnel in hanunis where they say that he lived for awhile this this cctv video that as you say, was from 10 october. so quit

it shows hamas leader yahya sinwar inside a tunnel in gaza in khan yunis with his wife, children, and also with an unidentified man. cnn has not yet been able to verify the authenticity of this video. cnn has live team coverage with nada bashir in cairo, nic robertson in tel-aviv. not let me begin with you to have a us official described these talks in that way is it your sense that it is different than before when things have fallen apart or not gotten as far as was hoped >> looked at it certainly the hope for many of the international community we heard yesterday from a us official saying that those discussions nudging food, but that they aren't still difficult. and of course, as we saw in those talks yesterday, according to us officials, no major breakthroughs that would result in any sort of agreement at this stage aren't yet to have been reached according to us officials, we know that negotiations are still on going and of course, we heard from a hamas official telling cnn if there is indeed progress in these talks and negotiations that there would be prepared to send a delegatio

they suspect that yahya sinwar, the leader of hamas and gaza, the architect behind the october 7 attacks. it's either there or hiding in khan yunis. so one way or the other, i think israel is going in so we may see a cease, a temporary ceasefire. but the fighting is far from over in gaza. >> and in rafah, obviously worth mentioning, this has been the haven. i don't think you can really say there is a haven in gaza. there isn't. but as far as where people have tried to seek refuge, that's it about one-and-a-half million palestinians living there after fleeing from northern gaza and biden is warning israel that there but risk of losing international support as this offensive drags on. do you see any of that influencing netanyahu? do you see any of that impacting netanyahu's plans? >> well, first of all, they have lost a lot of international support already, but for arguably a few countries, notice notably united states. and as you point out, breon, it's, it's 1.4 million or so refugees crammed into a city that prior to the war housed about 100,000 hundred and 50,000 people. so it's extreme

. >> yeah, because the logic is by yahya sinwar, the head of hamas in gaza is that if he survives, if he and enough of his fighters survive, not win, then they've actually won the conflict, if you will. because at some point, israel will have to stop its operations in that area and pulled back. and so that's what they're holding out for, by the way, that's why bibi netanyahu wants to go and he believes there are four to six battalions militants remaining there. he well, the sinwar is there. he wants to go in and take them out. and to me that's one way or another. he is going into rafah. >> but when you see the civilians who are clearly suffering in gaza like this in the world continues to see it. the window seems to be closing. >> absolutely. but look, israel suffered this international condemnation now for four plus months lebanon, if israel did cross the southern border, i was there in 2006 when there was a border crossing of a war between israel and lebanon. if israel did cross that southern border into lebanon to go after hezbollah how much of an escalation would that be? >> look,

yahya sinwar the leader of hamas in gaza. and according to israeli officials, the man who master mined the october 7th massacre. sinwar has been in hiding since then. israel's military says this video shows him fleeing in a tunnel with his family three days after the attack. two former intelligence officers confirmed to us it shows sinwar. but despite a $400,000 bounty on his head, an air and ground assault on gaza that's killed thousands of palestinian civilians, he so far stayed one step ahead of israeli forces. we joined some of those troops as they pushed into gaza. arriving in the remains of khan younis, sinwar's home city. >> we're standing here, my soldiers fought to take this ground. >> reporter: we followed them deep under ground, into a set of tunnels where they believe sinwar was recently sheltering. they offer nod firm evidence but said these beds suggest senior leaders were here. while inside this cage, troops say they discovered the dna of three young hostages, all released during the temporary cease fire deal in

quickly , he's got to do just quickly, steven, is destroy hamas and show that i have destroyed yahya sinwarer, and his deputy, mohammed deif. and unless he can show that this is a win, it's going to be very , a win, it's going to be very, very difficult indeed because people more and more think it's a war about netanyahu . future a war about netanyahu. future political career. >> i mean, there's obviously a great deal of concern because, i mean, the population in, in, in rafah is what, five times what it was . yes. before all this it was. yes. before all this started before october the 7th. isn't there an argument that could be made to say , well, could be made to say, well, look, these people not just evacuated by israelis , but evacuated by israelis, but actually hamas should let these people go and clear the area. isn't there a responsibility on hamas to do i think i think i think we've got to be realistic about this. >> it's not clear what hamas is in charge of anymore. i thought, steven, you were going to raise the prospect of egypt. and we know egypt . egypt would appear know egypt. e
