7:34 am
removed, it it's it's as clear as day, as long as this illegitimate regime is allowed to stay in any sort of way, whether whether it's a two-state solution or what have you, it poses a direct threat to the region, the only way for the region to see any peace is the dissolution of israel, is the overthrow of israel and iran correctly sees that and correctly backs that as you saw throughout years, specifically, with general sulaymani who worked on the battlefront with leaders of the of the islamic resistance and also hamas لا of pij and also the pflp who all praised iran of who all praised general sulaimani six months later and they're they're unable to stop the palestinian resistance to the point where the palestinian resistance even from the north is able to send rockets into occupy palestine sending settlers running into their basements uh the israeliers especially in the month of
7:35 am
ramadan, which is just absolutely preposterous, and you see the true face of the zionist regime, which many of us have seen throughout years, but now it's exposed to the international community that the zionist regime is in fact this genocidal illegitimate occupation, and even um the the international courts are seeing this, international appendages that once you know ignored palestine are now forced to look at the palestinian issue face to face and and call out israel, for what it is uh, it's it's a paraya state, it's committing war crimes, it's committing the crime of genocide, all the while it's unable even achieve any of its political objectives, which include eliminating hamas or or or disarming hamas or what have you, they're unable to stop the palestinian resistance. the palestinian

7:39 am
after a un security council resolution calling for immediate cease fire in gaza as the us for the first time abstained from the vote, leaving israel isolated. the timing of... "the visits by senior palestinian officials to tehran is uh quite significant uh given that you know in the course of time what we have been seeing in the other front meaning between israel and its allies including the united states is a division among them and we're seeing that israelies are losing political and international support day by day. there are issues related to the future of gaza, future of the war and some political efforts in order to establish. say cease fire uh in palestine, and i think those are important issues which can be and have been raised and discussed in the meetings held in tehran. the presence of palestinian officials in tehran is a clear display of unity a time when the international community is showing more
7:40 am

7:41 am
being involved in a community helps me to understand the muslim community even more and to be able to share that with my community back in the states. welcome back to the news crm press tv israel is. have once again taken to the streets as pressure is mounting on netanyahu each deal with palestinian resistance groups to free the remaining captives that were held in gaza. we discussed the issue in the news review program. let's take a listen to what our guests had to say. and now it's time for the news review section where we delve deeper into one of the day's top stories, so stay tuned. thousands of israeli protesters have once again taken to the streets, demanding the resignation of
7:42 am
prime minister benjamin netanyahu, massive rallies were held in tel aviv, haifa and the occupied alquds. protesters called on netanyahu to immediately finalize deal with the palestinian resistance movements that would see the return of the captives being held in gaza. they criticized netanyahu for prioritizing his political interest in gaza over the lives of the captives and demanded. new elections, opponents of the government and the families of captives said they are also planning days long and massive demonstrations in the coming week. netanyahu has been in hot water as he is charged with fraud and breach of trust in a number of cases. now to talk more in this, we are joined by mr. rick sterling, investigative journalists from berkeley and also mr. anthony hall, professor of globalization from left. bridge university obviously from leathbridge. gentlemen, welcome to uh the
7:43 am
news review section. now mr. sterling, beginning with you, yet again, israelis have taken to the streets in anti-netanyahu demos, which has been taking place a weekly basis, wanting the resignation of the prime minister. the main demand is uh the release the captives held by palestinian resistance groups and it seems that the demos are getting more violent, this time at least it doesn't were arrested, so your initial thoughts on on that, and why do you think netanyahu hasn't been able to release the captives? well, i think it's the contradictions in israeli society are are escalating uh steadily, in the demonstration last night or tonight, saturday night, one of the main speakers said very simply were sick and tired of being lied to, they went from um from what they're calling is square, which is probably robine plaza, they've gone out into
7:44 am
the streets and in the highways and they're blocking the streets, there are protesters in small cages in the street to prevent them from being moved, um, so it's just escalating, and i think the protesters are obviously right to be severely worried about the fate of the hostages, because it's clear that netanyahu doesn't really care about them, in fact i think it's case can be made that more israeli civilians have been killed by the idf than by hamas um within within gaza of course israeli bombs are killing hostages as well as thousands of palestinians, the israeli siege is starving the israeli hostages and you you even had the the case in december where three israeli hostages with white flags were gun down israeli snipers, so the the protesters are absolutely right to be um uh really concerned
7:45 am
and demanding that netanyahu change course, of course he won't, and then so along with the protest there's a demand for elections and the removal of netan yahu. the us and israel wants hamas to release all the captives, if hamas which wants a permanent seas fire does that uh, what guarantee can there be that israel won't? continuous genocidal war and also hamas won't have any cars left, absolutely, and then there is the reality that the what are the 9,000 palestinian? prisoners, many of them really prisoners of war in uh the jails of israel, and some of those people inside israeli jails are very important palestinians, marwan, barguti, people have been in for decades who represent, these are venerable people in the
7:46 am
palestinian community, so we haven't really heard about anything on the... israeli side about what's going to happen there uh of course the so-called hostages uh when a group like hamas is reduced to being called a terrorist group uh how what bargaining chips do they have? well they got bargaining chips on october the 7th by virtue of the fact that there were many israelis who were not killed who were kept alive or are being kept alive and of course we saw with the last round of letting these hostages, transferring them to israel, that there was much evidence that was that friendships developed and decent relationships developed between the so-called hostages and the people taking care of them in inside gaza, and i think the idea of these
7:47 am
israelis who have now had deep association with hamas and the... different elements of the resistance movement in palestine that that uh is there not a desire in the intelligence community boy, letting these people loose and talking about it among palestinians, i mean among israelis who are subject to a barrage of propaganda all the time, that this may be perceived as a sort of strategic problem, so is it possible that nenyahu really doesn't want to see a release the... hostages, he's got to do lip service to it, and again it points out to the fact that within the israeli population the extent the feeling of humanity, of shared humanity is towards their own family members, is towards their own tribe, and yet there seems to be an absence of appreciation of the cosmic scope of what humanity is seeing going
7:48 am
on in palestine, which is terrible, awful genocide, the i can't... remember seeing anything like it, like a mani faceted genocide with starvation, dehydration, use of plagues, you using food as lure and then uh as bait and then killing people, it's it's and and and torturs and the kind of hum humiliations that we've seen, and again the destruction of like the media of hospital workers, i mean this is incredible display of israeli contempt for the rule of... law, for the united nations, for international law, and for human decency, and so the uh implications of uh, yes, it's the hostages and people worrying about getting the hostages out, but the larger implications, where is there any sign that there's a real debate going on within israel that it's
7:49 am
losing so much in this uh, losing in in in deep and profound and... uh long-lived, even permanent ways, who will think of israel is any other than the baby killing society, the genocidal society, the genocidal state of israel. they have mr rick sterling, investigative genus from birkly and also mr. anthony hall, professor of globalization from lethbridge university. gentlemen, thank you for your time sir, thank you. and with that we come to the end of this news review section. thank you for being with us. continuing with the news, the islamic resistance in iraq says it has carried out fresh attacks against israeli positions in response to the regime's ongoing genocide in gaza. resistance group said it struck vital target in the galilea region a north of
