as hundreds of people.

presavy headlines, this hour, the death th in gaza rises to more than 31,000 as the us israely genocide continues into its 156th day, most of those killed are women and children. lebanon's resistance fighters of target is really occupied territories with dozens of rockets, tiliation for the killing of four members of one family. and us president joe biden's bid to build a port for gaza and distance himself from netanyaho, are regarded as a white washing campaign? more welcome to our studios in the capital tehron, this is pressed to be news, thanks for joining us. over five months into the

israely genocide in the gaza strip, the regime is pushing its deadly onslot on the territory. the regime's latest serf strikes of hit an area west of hannus, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens of others. the area is used by displayed palestinians to set up tents. the israely military targeted several locations in the gaza strip on saturday. one of them was an air strike that hit a 12-story residential tower in the southern city of ruffa, making dozens of families homeless. according to... the health of ministry in gaza, israeli forces committed eight massacres against the palestinian families over the past 24 hours, killing at least 85 civilians and injuring 130 others. it says the overall death doll has risen to over 31,00, mostly women and children since october seven. thousands of others are also missing and are feared dead. press tv was with us earlier for more details about the latest israeli strikes in the gaza strip.

"israel genocide is still persistent here in the gaza strip with more strikes and more blood shed and more destruction actually and let's begin from city and the central area of gaza strip generally and citings two residental buildings were destroyed by those air strikes air strikes in alberka neighborhood which is located in the southern part of city at least five palestina city" alians were reportedly killed while douzens were injured. in addition to that, the israeli war planes also carried out several firepts against the southern part of deral balas city. when it comes to anuserat refuge camp, at least three residential buildings were completely destroyed by the israeli war planes in addition to multiple stores and warehouses. they were completely destroyed and a big fire engulfed those stores and warehouses in a nosari camp in when... comes

to khanuni city, the israeli, the israeli accubition forces committed an opponing massacre by targeting the tens of the displaced palestinians in almawasi area, which is located as you know between delbala city and uh khanuni city and it was claimed by the israeli occupation forces as safe area, now the israeli occupation forces directly uh target that area killing at least 37 palestinian civilians of those displaced palestinians who... south refuge in that area. tensions remain high along lebanon's southern border. the lebanese resistance movement hezballah has fired a barrage of rockets into northern israeli occupied territories. hezballah says it targeted the moron settlements with dozens of katusha rockets. this said the attack was in support of the palestinians and resistance in gaza and in retaliation for israely strikes on lebanese civilians. in the regime's latest attacks on southern lebanon five

our correspondents in bay earlier joined us with more details about the latest exchange of fire between the israeli army and hisbullah fighters. actually everybody was waiting, we knew that there would be retaliation from hizballah after the massacre that took place in the town of we know the entire house uh was destroyed over the heads of an entire family uh we're talking about four people and "there are reports also that a frift person is also uh was also killed, we have at least eight people wounded who were near that uh that house specifically, but we do have like you said woman who was pregnant along with her two sons and hus husband who were killed by this uh israeli attack, the

israelis have also clearly said in their reports that they targeted family and they called them a hazballah family, which is quite ironic how they call family, the mother, the father. and and children uh as a hizballah family as if there is a difference between the rest of the families in south lebanon uh which is of course ridiculous considering considering this statement uh when people look at it now awaiting this retaliation um some people wondered why it had taken so long usually hizbullah does uh attack the miron base or very significant targets after there is huge massacre uh like this one we we do know or we saw we know from eyewitnesses that there were around 36 kachusha rockets that were fired uh from south lebanon uh on the western side of the border uh we know that this was the first round, the second round included another dozen uh rockets at least, no one saw any of uh those rockets uh being intercepted by a

patriot rocket, those rockets that are usually used by the iron dome system from the israelis and so we know from the israelies as well from amateur videos surrounding the area of uh maroon specifically that the rockets did hit their target and just to a reminder the significance of the maroon base, we're talking about a the highest mount in all of occupied palestine, this is supposed to be radar that would give early warnings of the launching of either rockets um by the resistance or even drones and it seems that that radar itself was inoperable or unable to protect itself or unable to give any warnings the fact that there would be r. open contradiction, as us president joe biden drives red lines for israel on the gaza onslot, while at the same time pledging not to abandon support for the regime. biden told ms nbc that an israeli incursion into raffa and southern gaza strip would be his red

line. however, the us president added that he has no red lines concerning the delivery of weapons to the regime. bund administration has given israel unconditional support in this five month genocide in gaza. that includes using his vedo power in the un security council three times to block calls for an end to the genocide. the us claims this is to allow israel to counter hamas, but facts on the ground show washington's complicity in the regime's killing of over 31,00 palestinians. the united states and the european union have announced new methods to send humanitarian aid to the gaza strab. however, there are many questions about the motives behind the plan. in our explainer program, we took a closer look at the issue. as mass starvation and famin are engolfing the entire gaza strip leading to palestinians dying, the west, namely the us and the eu, may have woken up to this grim reality that there may be a massive loss of palestinin lives, or are they just giving the impression

that they care? now there are announcements of ports and maritime corridors that will deliver aid, but many are questioning the us and eu's real intentions. first, the us president reviewed that the us military would lead emergency mission to establish a port off the gaza strip. this is what we know so far. now based on the announcement by the pentagon, the u.s. military will set up a temporary offshore maritime pier off gaza's mediterranean coast. these are some of the details as you see. it will receive ships carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters. now, the operational procedure is going to be as follows. the shipping vessels are going to transfer cargo. to what's called jlots. now jlots is capability that enables us forces to enter the land area from the sea due to lack of port infrastructure since gaza does not have a functioning port. now this land area is reached via a causeway or appear. the cause would then finally lead to

a port. that's the general outline of what we're seeing here. the construction of the jlos will require considerable manpower. based on the announcement again by the pentagon will involve more than 1,000 us personal. also, the pentagon wanted to be known that there would be no us boots on the ground as part of the construction process. there's an the claim that the pentagon has made when it comes to the number of meals that it can be delivered, this is what it has said, which is pretty ambitious, that it can process more than 2 million meals to the citizens of gaza per day. now loading that much food inside the gaza strip, well that's a mammith task. no sooner had joe biden announced this port idea than the eu also came out and made announcement on its own, that it would provide a maritime corridor to the gaza strip. this is what we know it's a cyprus led initiative is named amalf, eight corridor, the countries involved, the united

states, the united kingdom, and the united arab emirates, now this corridor would allow aid to be shipped from cyprus to the coast of gaza. a uk operator ship would offload the cargo without the need for a physical port. this entire process is made possible by offloading to a floating pier. although it's pretty odd how both the eu and the us have announced their aid plan simultaneously, it's worth. out that what the major differences are? well, the us one involves what's called the cosway that you see there in the picture, and then the j loss, which we explain what it was. the eu plan, however, consis of ships dropping off aid on what's called a floating pier, like in this picture here, but the big difference, the time frame. the us plan will take up to 2 months or 60 days to complete, the u plan, as it has been announced, is ready to go or within a matter of days, and here are the reactions to us's plans for gaza, which is viwed. efforts that are just a little too late in the game. mustafa baruuti, the secretary general of the palestinian

national initiative, said that this is not a new idea, and he also added another effort, he said, to divert attention, and of course the real issue that 700 thousand palestinians are starving in the north, gaza, and that's what this diversion is doing. well, the us construction of the port has faced a backlash from many who hold. us as guilty as israel when it comes to the genocide, just some of the reactions uh that is pretty common, especially in social media, you're trying to cover the gaza genocide, another ease international pressure both on israel and the us, and also what about the us military aid to israel, that is very popular one which we have noticed. now abubaida, the military spokesman for the assam brates has blasted the israel regime for weaponizing food. now this is what he has said. based on his uh statements here, uh, using starvation against palestinians to put pressure on hamas into a

ceasefire is something he capitalized on, and also he said, no captive swap without ending the aggression, so as we can see uh, hamas is into accepting at the uh, not accepting the temporary cease fire, but rather it wants a permanent one. the israeli occupation demonstrates its hattrid on houses of the lord. this mask was reduced to rubble by f-16 warjet. their way led to the destruction of the houses around the most. causing the fall of martters and injuries amongst neighbors of the mosque. the

palestinians did not stand on the romans of the masks idly, but they created temporary mosks that don't protect them from neither the cold of winter nor the heat of the summer. welcome back to the news here on press tv. thousands of israeli protesters have once again rallied in tel aviv demanding the resignation of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. at least 10 protesters were detained after clashing with the regime forces who used teer gas and water cannon to disperse the demonstrators. protesters called for immediate ceasefire in israel's ongoing onslot on gaza and the return of the captives being held by palestinian resistance groups. they criticized netanyahu's handling of the war in gaza and demanded new elections. they

also called on us president joe biden to stop supporting netanyahu. pro-palestinian protesters have held yet another demonstration in the canadian city of calgary against the us israeli genocidal war on the gaza strap. ce fire. fire now, cease fire now, cease fire now, cease fire now, protesters wave palestinian flags and shouted slogans in support of gazons, they don't announce the west, particularly the us for its complicity in the israeli genocide, saying that the regime cannot continue its crimes without such support. protesters also called for immediate cease fire in the palestinian territory. since the beginning of the regime's onslot on gaza, canadians have staged several rallies in support of palestinians. similar rallies have also been held in several other countries across the world. more than five months of major

demonstrations and they're as energized as ever. hundreds of thousands of pro- palestinian protesters from across the uk marching to the american embassy to deliver message. shame on you, joe biden, shame on you. that message as much for the us president as for the uk government. the majority of people want sease fire now, and it's not, it's not even a big big ask. what are we asking to for humanity? and stop killing innocent children and people, on the stage, near the american embassy, welsh singer charlotte church combines welsh and arabic words for a song of solidarity, followed by an all-women cast of speakers marking the international women's day and the resilience of palestinian women, as ever,

it's an eclectic mix of groups and organizations. out in great numbers in defiance of attempts by the government to criminalize these overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations. we're here to say to the government that we aren't going to be stopped, these aren't hate marches, and we have jewish blocks, we have jewish people who march with us in solidarity and who march with us and say not in their name. the war on gaza and the uk's support for it has deeply polarized british society, and that's already manifesting itself in the way. people are voting, case in point, the by-elections in rochedale greater manchester in late february, which handed veteran pro-palestine campaigner george galloway of the workers party of britain a landslide victory against the major party candidates, but we know there's a whole body of people for whom it issues of international justice and rights and britain's position in the world and

whether it shows respect for human rights and international law matter and the certain constituencies. where the issue of does britain support and protect the rights of the palestinian people is of particular residence. this was the fifth national demonstration of the year, and organizers say there will be more. while the civilians in gaza say they feel that their plight is being ignored. the millions of people here and around the world are saying that they are making sure through their protests that the palestinians know that their cries are being heard. so london. if there was any concern that pro-palestinians in france were starting to lose interest in the five month long attempted genocide of gaza by israel, one of the nation's largest demonstrations since the start of the invasion, put that idea to rest. many thousands converged in the capital for

passionate denunciation of president emmanuel macron, the leaders of the paner. france must stay in europe, then europe must respect our demands, and we demand that they stop protecting the terrorist state of israel. hamas is not a terrorist group, they are resistance group, and the united nations refuse to label them terrorists. palestinians have the right to resist, to exist, and to be free. in what many say is... station of the west's deadly hypocrisy, at least five children were killed by air-dropped food aid from western nations and their allies. this week, more than 200 members of european union parliament called for an arms embargo on israel, they said that by remaining silent on gaza, europe has no credibility to speak on russia's actions in ukraine. germany now

provides 28% of israel's military imports. israeli settler. attacks in the west bank have almost tripled since october to nine per day. israeli troops continue to open fire on starving palestinians seeking food aid and also on united nations troops in lebanon. some 31,00 gazans have been killed and over 72,00 gazans wounded, all leaving marchers in disbelief that the west continues to support israel without conditions or consequences. it's scandalous, france is charged with defending international law, and it even has a united nations council veto to do so, but it only defends israel instead. i am not asking france to bomb tel aviv, "i am asking them to uphold humanity's laws with very simple sanctions that could be put in place on telaviv immediately. even with the holy month of ramadan starting next week, israel

has rejected yet another plan for a cease fire. many say it's a new law for tel aviv. normalement, one must respect the humanity of others, and normally during ramadan there's a cease fire to allow people to live their religion in peace, and yet israel wants to keep murdering baby. by starvation during ramadan, it's scandalous and unacceptable, there must be a cease fire. paris claimed that their forces have destroyed four yemeny drones in the gulf of aden that were heading towards a european union naval operation, as israel's invasion edges closer to a larger regional conflict. ramen mazahari, press tv, paris. a genocide is taking place. in gaza amed international silence. 15 italian lawmakers who have recently visited the rafa border in southern gaza say an international reaction to avoid the aggravation of

humanitarian catastrophe in raffa is desperately needed. they had left italy for egypt earlier this week with the goal to provide the italian government with testimony the tragedy the palestinians are experiencing as a result of israel's crimes. here is what they have to say about their experience. israel's cruel actions in gaza are based a clear genicidal intent, refusing to allow water, food, medicine and humanitarian supplies is equivalent to exterminating an entire population. palestine must be immediately recognized as a state and the reconstruction plan is urgently needed. we saw thousands of tracks waiting at the border with rafa. as farming is ravaging gaza, trucks are not allowed to go through because israel is stopping them. we are certain that the humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding. we

have met palestinian kids with their legs amputated in an italian hospital in cairo, as israel continues to commit crimes against humanity in gaza. there is only one person should be held accountable for the situation there, netanyahu and his regime. so far, the italian government has unrelentingly sided with the israeli regime, this, despite hundreds of pro- palestine demonstrations having been held across italy over the past months. meanwhile, on saturday, new demonstration was organized here in rome by a string of humanitarian organizations, charities and unions calling for immediate end to israel's genocide in gaza. the initiative. he's also calling on italian institutions to protect the right. it is essential to protect and promote descenting

voices. the use of force by our authorities will not stop the course of history. upholding the rule of law is the only way to ensure peace. on saturday, rome was once again flooded by tens of thousands of people from across the country calling on the international community to hold. israel accountable for its systematic violations on the international law and to continue supporting the united nations agency aiding palestinian refugees (andra), demonstration and solidarity with palestinians was also held in milan. max chivili. press tv, rome. we're on over now to amsterdam over in netherlands, there is a event that's taking place there, but it's being blasted. because of whose in attendance. now what we're looking at is a pro- palestinian demonstration taking place there because the new holocaust museum is uh due to open there

uh and the protest is staged because of the attendance of the israeli president so you having people uh bring about the genocide that's happening in the gaza strip right next to this event where the israeli president is going to be in attendance if he's not there already um this is happening near the portuguese. synagogue um, his presence at this opening ceremony is uh something that's controversial because of the fact that israel is continuing with this genocide, and uh, of course, you're looking at the way that this will ring negatively for the government there, but the organization that's uh happened and the way that this protest has been organized is by this pro palestine dutch organization called the rights forum, which called it a slap in the face of "this is one

instance where we're looking at and amsterdam is no stranger to pro- palestine protests um, but this particular one obviously is important uh for this group to have organized it, bringing out people in order to make sure that there is really president and then the world as a whole uh here's how this genocide is something that should not occur and that history sustain in uh the history of uh israel of what it has done along with the us for that matter." the president of israel has speak very loud and very clear in english in front of the international media, he used very clear genocidal language, you don't have to be detective to know the facts, do your job prosecutor of the icc, make sure that he is. because never again is now, the children

of rasa have no time to spare, they need us to cry their crime, to amplify their voice, the children of razza need us to do whatever we can to save them, they are being massacred on, every day, today, no, we all... see the horrific videos and pictures minreza and we all hear the countless expressions of violent genocidal racist hate from israeli officials, officers and soldiers, including from this president, it is not the time to stand on the lines, before i go, i want to say special

thanks everyone standing up. i want to say thank you for the plant and campaign that helped us ever to file criminal complaint against the president of israel with the icc together together together with and the different jewish. uh stifting, we went as equals to the icc to demand his immediate arrest. i want to say thank you to all the allies that are here with us today, we are not jewish or palestinian. i want to say especially special thanks to the international socialists who this demonstration today and made sure the

palestinian. all right, live there, that gives you an idea, the pro-palestine a protest that's taking place in amsterdam uh coming uh before the opening of this holocaust museum, and i think this opening is going to be obviously something that's not going to be highlighted, but this protest will because of the genocide that's taking place, in attendance will be the israeli uh president isaac, and the people want to make sure that their voices are heard in terms of the genocide that he is uh responsible for along with the us in the gaza strip. with that we come to an end for this edition. of world news, thanks for being with us, let's bye bye for now, the press of coverage of this asination of b suleymani now entering its uh uh fourth day.

on friday, march 1st, millions of iranian people went to the polls to select 290 law makers from among over 15,000 candidates. the poll was twined with vote for 88 members of the assembly of experts, body tasked with choosing and supervising the leader of the islamic revolution. the polls closed at midnight on friday, six hours later than planned due to second surge of people who decided to cast their votes in the evening. at the... same time, more than 350 foreign reporters from over 20 countries were present in iran to cover the news of the country's national elections. the twin elections were held smoothly on one single day with the least possible problems.
