7:35 am
months long insistent israeli bombardments have b the vast majority of the health facilities out of service, this as limited sanitation facilities and overcrowding filters are causing the spread of disease and keeping gazes from recovering. it's another dark side of the deep catastrophe that is still afflicts the palestinian people as a result of the ongoing apocalyptic israeli genocide in the gaza strip while the outcies the palestinian civilians are still unanswered and immuted by the american veto. press tv the central area of gaza strip. a un expert says israel is destroying gaza's food system as part of the regime's broader starvation campaign and its genocidal war on gaza. michael fakri, the un special repertoire on the right to food was addressing a human rights council. he's a destroying gaza's food system runs along with
7:36 am
israel's restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries into the territory. fachry said israel has mounted its starvation campaign by even targeting small-scale. fisherman destroying around 80% of gaza's fishing sector. meanwhile, a report by right's group action aid international says women in gaza are giving birth to still born babies due to malnutrition and collapse of humanitarian operations. it said many children have also died in hospitals due to malnutrition. the palestinan resistance movement hamas says israel has thorted all efforts made. by mediators to broker se fire in gaza before the muslim holy month of ramadan. we discussed this with our guests earlier in our news review program. here it is. and now it's
7:37 am
time for the news review section where we delve deeper into one of the day's top stories. so stay tuned. now the hamas. resistance movement says israel has thorted all efforts by mediators to reach a ceasefire agreement in the gaza strip. the senior hamas official said israel has rejected to end this onslaught on the beseest trip, ensure aid entrance and the return of displaced palestinian people. the hamas delegation has left cairo without achieving a breakthrough. hamas says the talks are set to resume next week. envoys from the us, qatar and hamas were involved in talks for a ceasefire agreement. the... parties are scrambling to reach an agreement before the muslim holy month of ramadan which begins on march the 10th. now to talk more in this, we are joined by mr. theo west, geopolitical analyst from dallas, texas and also mr. john andrew mirfy,
7:38 am
political commentator from coatswall, pennsylvania. gentlemen, thank you for being on uh press tv, and now starting with you, mr. west, uh, so these fire talks have stalled, hamas is blaming the israeli regime for that, obviously we know that the palestinians want a permanent cease fire, but on the other side israel and their ally the us uh are looking for a temporary tous, so mr. west, why is that, why is that the case? i think first we have to put this within a historical context, and then we can better understand the context as it is right now, and historically, i would say... that for example, in 2011, the obama administration lied claiming that libya's gaddafi was bombing peaceful protesters and he used that lie as a pretext for nato to bomb libya and also to arm terrorists in libya. today what we see undeniable, it's undeniable, we see
7:39 am
mass murder in gaza, but no military effort by the americans and the europeans to end this under humanitarian grounds with... is what they used to invade libya in 2011, they use that, so this humanitarian ground they use it to carry out military action against libya. the difference between gaza and libya is not only hypocrisy, but it is also criminal, because you've got over 30,00 people who have been killed there already, and i would also like to say that uh, just today, anwar ibrahim, who's the prime minister of malaysia, he correctly points out the hypocrisy of the united states in its condemnation of putin's military action in ukraine while not condemning netanyahu's military actions in gaza, targeting civilians, civilians. hulton is not targeting
7:40 am
civilians, netanyahu is targeting civilians. the zionist regime has slaughtered more than 30,000 palestinians, most of them are women and children. this has been done with american. resistance and american weaponry, the american and israeli le is that the palestinians turn over all israeli pris and the israeli regime must not be the administer of any of this aid to the
7:41 am
palestinians. finally, also israel troops, they must not occupy any parts of gaza, from the northern most area to the southern most area of gaza and all the way, including the eastern corridor, and i also like to add that the united states who is supporting this genocide, they are now talking about setting up. do you think they are looking for only a temporary cease fire so the capters are released? so they can relieve some of the public pressure, and then they can continue with the onslaught without the fear of
7:42 am
killing more of their own people, with that being said, mr. murphy, your thought on this as well, someone saying that the israeli regime doesn't even care about the captives, sure a a temporary cease fire during ramadan would simply be exploited by the united states and the zionist entity to... bypass a complete aggression on the gaza strip, let's also keep so what designist entity has done is carefully construct the catch 22, hamas knows that it can't release its um hostages without a ceasefire because the hostages are spread across a wide area and then israel design this entity comes back and says, oh, well, there will be no ceice fire until you
7:43 am
release them, so we have to catch 22. that's something else that that is troubling me when i hear over and over 30,000 dead. i live near philadelphia, i was born and raised in philadelphia, it's about 50 miles from here. philadelphia is about the same size as a gaza strip. there's a million and a half. people living in philadelphia, and i'm trying to imagine what would happen in philadelphia if it were hit by 65 thousand bombs, if tanks and artillery had been opening had opened fire on it for the past several months, if snipers had firing on the population, if the hospitals had been destroyed, the churches had been destroyed and the people had been deprived of food, water, healthcare, so we
7:44 am
got to keep in mind, we're talking catastrophic numbers, we're talking holocaust here, and we're not talking war, on that note, i would like to thank our guests on the left, mr. theo west, geopolitical analyst from dallas, texas and also mr. john andrew merfy, political commentator from coatswill, pennsylvania, gentlemen, thank you for being. on the news review section, thank you sir, and with that we come to the end of this news review section, thank you for listening. last year, iran's president ibrahim raissi visited three african countries, kenya, uganda and zimbabwe, president raisi with the signing of bilateral cooperation agreements in economic, scientific and educational
