Gaza was the focus of the talks with final oic statement calling for immediate and unconditional end. The deadly Israeli Aggression against the besieg territory. The oic calls for immediate and unconditional cease fire and succession of the allout aggression against the Palestinian People in the gaza strip, the provision of unimpeded and adequate humanitarian medical and relief aid, the provision of water and electricity, and the opening of humanitarian corridors to deliver urgent aid to the gaza strip.

Tuesdays foreign ministerial meeting of the oic was held at the request of iran and several other members. Were watching press tvs news review where we look deeper into some of the top stories of the day. In this segment of the program, the United States is piling up pressure on the palace. Hamas to accept a temporary cease fire with israel, this is yet another attempt by washington to back the regime after providing it with the weapons and money to launch this genocidal war on the gauza strip. Deal is in the hands of hamas right now, because there been an offer, rational offer, israelis have agreed to it and uh wait to see what the chamas does. Biden also claimed that the tel aviv regime has presented a rational offer on the establishment of sease fire. He also talked about israeli captives held in gaza but failed to mention thousands of palestinians languishing in the regimes jails for months and years without trial or charges. The us president made the remarks as egyptian and qatti mediators are trying to find ways to hammer out deal before the holy month of ramadon. The United States has already vetoed three un. Resolutions on the gaza cease fire and supply tel aviv with military and Financial Support for the gaza war, meanwile hamas underlined that the security of palestinians will not be ensured unless a permanent ceasefire takes hold. In the past two days, hamas presented its position on the proposal by qatari and egyptian mediators at the end of last week. We reaffirmed our conditions for a cease fire, a full pullout from the gaza strip. The return of the displaced to the areas they left, providing adequate relief and medical aid, and launching the reconstruction process. Hamdon called for complete pull out of israeli troops from gaza and unimpeated delivery of eight to palestinians. Israel is reportedly against the withdraw of its forces and the return of Palestinian Refugees to the northern part of the strip as part of a weekl. Humanitarian cease fire brokered by qatar and egypt fighting was paused and humanitarian aid was allowed into gaza. Back in december, it also saw an exchange of 240 palestinian abducties with 105 israeli captives. Hamasas a sad timing again that any Prisoner Exchange deal is out of question unless its conditions for a ceasefire are met. In the past two days. Joining us on this edition of the news review. Have professor of International Relations at lebanese university, mr. Jamal wakim whos joining us from the lebanese capital beirot, also from saidia morocco, we have political commentator kevin barrett. Gentlemen, welcome to the program. Lets start off with mr. Wakiem. Uh, we were listening to the comments by us President Joe Biden who claims that the israelies have uh uh put forth rational offer. I want to get uh your thoughts on that, how do you read into those comments by the us president and main question here is uh, can the israelis even be trusted in such a situation . Well, of course biden is supporting israel ever since it launched its aggression against gaza, and hes supporting also all political stances and initiatives, he wants israel to be victorious in this aggression against the resistance in the gaza. Strip and thats why he is endorsing all uh conditions and prerequisites for such an objective to be achieved. This is how we can understand bidens comments in this regard. Of course uh israel cannot be trusted and throughout the the arab israeli struggle it was only checked by power and by force not not by any negotiations. Or any agreement, so thats why i believe that these conditions that are put on the table by israel are not acceptable to the resistance in gaza, and this will drag on the the conflict in the gaza strip, leading to more and more civilians to get killed by the israeli uh army. Mr. Kevin barret, i want to get your thoughts as well. Agree with our guest in beirot that these conditions that are being being putting forth by the israelis in washington are not acceptable, why is that and do you also see that uh washington and the tel aviv regime they just keep kicking the ball down further further down the field . Yeah, i think hes right, that is that the israelis are looking for kind of socalled temporary ceasefire uh which would allow for all their hostages to be released, and then they after that cease fire is over, they would be free to continue committing genocide and without any kind of restraint, obviously thats a nonstarter, the only way that the palesty resistance can reasonably be expected to release all the israels in its custody is if there is going to be a permanent cease fire, not a temporary one, and thats thats the Sticking Point here, it seems and the americans unfortunately are seeking an israeli victory, the. Are on the side of the zionists, Bidens Administration is surrounded by zionists and they dont want to see their side lose, they also have political problems though, because biden will very likely lose the next president ial election if there hasnt been some kind of durable peace, now what he would like to see, suppose would be some sort of imaginary israeli victory, but theres no such thing, that cant happen, theres no perspective path to the israelis de. Eating hamas and getting their people back alive, it cant, thats not going to happen, but in israely victory scenario, but they have these delusions, metnyahu does, because if all the other alternatives involve leaving power and very likely entering prison, and then the americans are really just hostages of the zion, and so they entertain these lunatic fantasies, ultimately the americans are going to have to put pressure. On the zionis to accept some kind of permanent cessation to this genocide. Thats the only reasonable way this can end, and thats the only way that biden can preserve his chances of being reelected. Professor wackim, lets talk about the hypocritical stance that were seeing from the United States. On one hand, there theyre showing that theyre pushing for sease five, but on the other hand, they veto three uh. United nations Security Council resolutions for humanitarian ceasefire and uh uh theres also been this notion circulating that the bloodshed could stop with just one phone call from the uh the us president. How do you view this uh inconsistency and hypocritical stance by washington . Uh i believe that biden Uh Administration fully supports the uh aggression, really aggression, but at the same time they dont want to, or this administration doesnt want to lose the arab votes and the muslim votes in the United States, especially that they are running for elections, so thats why they on one hand they give israel a free hand to continue its aggression against the palestinians in gaza and at the same time they they play this card or. Say they try to appear as if they are trying to uh uh call for sease fire or an agreement in order to win over the arab and the muslim voters in the United States especially that biden is in a very dire situation right now, he is not being able to withstand the pressure by the the. The arab and the muslim lobby in the United States and at the same time he is not fairing well against his opponent donald trump, all expectations say that he will lose the Upcoming Elections due to be to be held in november and this this is how we can understand the hypocritical stance of the Biden Administration in this regard. Kevin barret, your thoughts. On that issue as well, the us hypocrisy, our guest professor waaking believes that this uh uh facade that the the Biden Administration is putting on for attempts and uh struggling to get casefire is uh to keep the uh the araban muslim votes an election year, but if thats the case, that ship has set sail and its departing fast, isnt it . Well thats right, just had the super tuesday vote yesterday, which is the biggest primary election voting day in the United States and there were approximately 20 of the democratic voters in the state of minnesota uh voted uncommitted, so that was even more than in michigan, the key swing state uh last week or a little while back, so thats voters sending very strong message to biden that continued tolerance or even all out support as it appears for this genocide, is going to lead to those people not voting for him, and that its its kind of mindboggling that the zionis have so much power that they can force a sitting us president. To essentially guarantee his own failure to be reelected, he would rather be face that loss of office than to bite the zionist hand that feeds it, it makes you wonder what kind of power is that, how do they exert that power . Well, part of it is money, that is, its been estimated that the 50 plus major jewish groups led by apac donate, they. And their supporters donate about uh near up to half between a third and half of the Campaign Money that flows into american elections and these these are bribes that are basically uh considered under the euphemism of campaign contributions, so the money is one big factor, the media is another, the western media is totally controlled by zionist jews. Now lets be honest and say admit that some of them, and more and more of them, especially younger western and especially american jews, are turning against. Uh israel and its genocide of of palestine, but the fact is that the bulk of the power in that community is very much progenocide, pro zionism, and so those those me, the media, especially at the top, people running the media are running interference for israeli genocide and they have been uh forever, so and finally theres organized crime, weve seen american president s and would have been president s like John F Kennedy and Robert F Kennedy murdered by the state of israel along with their people in the american uh military and intelligence apparatus, those people are the same people that blew up the buildings and september 11th, 2001, so the zionist presence in organized crime is incredibly important, and we shouldnt forget that anybody who goes up against them uh is inviting retaliation. All right, thats all the time we have for this segment of the program. Thanks to my guest, Professor John wakem joining us from the lebanese capital bayroot and also political commentator kevin berret joining us from sydia, morocco, thats. Uh for this edition of the news review, but stick around, theres plenty more to come here on press tv. Welcome back, Israeli Forces have carried out fresh raids across the occupied west bank cities, abducting several palestinians. Earlier, our correspondent in romdel updated us on israeli raids that are taking place almost a daily basis. The israelies are arresting people from all works of life, including women and children, and even palestinian former prisoners who had been recently released in the latest swap deal that was accepted between the resistance groups and israel, and at the same time the israelies are detaining former prisoners, this morning the israel uh. Raided, they raided also betonia, al khalil, the village of kufrin near ramallah, qalqilia, tulkarim and betlehem, according to the recent statistics from the palestinian prisoners commission, 15 palestinians had been detained this morning, and the number could be even more than 15, and this means the number of palestinians who have been detained since this. 7th of october is today over 7,430 palestinians, the israel is continue to claim that the main aim of the nonstop Israeli Operations across the occupied westbank is in in order to prevent people from being engaged any form of resistance, even if these are peaceful demonstrations, the different forms of activity. The Lebanese Resistance movie in heswala says it is precisely targeted building in the israeli settlement of avivim with appropriate weapons inflicting significant damage to it. As well as the attack was in retaliation for israels recent deadly aggression against southern lebanon. Were now joined by our correspond and mariam sal uh in the lebanese capital beirot to uh hear more. Mariam what do you have to share with us . Well that retaliation against the settlement of on. One of the several rounds of retaliation for hisballah. Hisbullah yesterday seemed to have sent one of the largest, perhaps the largest rocket salvo uh towards the israeli settlements since the beginning of the war, and here were talking about dozens of rockets that targeted the fire bloom settlement, and that came right after the israelis launch an aggression in the town of hula where three civilians were killed, the woman and her husband and son were. Killed in that shelling specifically and so therefore after that hazbullah retaliated directly by this uh towards bloom but in addition to that they also targeted and retaliated for the shelling in the towns of bintishbail and we also had another attack in the town of de bean where three civilians were also wounded and hisballah targeted not only settlement in avivin but also in karatmuna where they say they also destroyed that residence as well now hisbollah has also launched several significant operations yesterday it was a day basically compact with uh very important operations they targeted. A force an Israeli Force that was in its Armored Vehicles and in the town of in the settlements in the area of braticia and the heavy the shelling or the rocket fires by hazballah was so heavy to the extent that the fire continued in that site and it was inflames for several hours people could see it also i witnesses saw it from a far and saw how that barack specifically in surrounding that area it was in flames and the fires continued to be uh unextinguished we also had several areas where we had the Eastern Division 769 um that too was targeted by hazballah with rocket fire that was also in the karatchpon area and addition to f bloom as well like we said we also had another merkava tank that was as hizbullah said targeted directly and it was in natu and they also mentioned what has very specific in their statements not to mention if they did not see any casualties they said that they were definitely casualties uh either killed or Wounded Soldiers in that merkava tank that fell as a result of that operation alone specifically as well as also released some numbers actually and were talking about 150 days since the beginning of the war uh they say theres at least 2000 Israeli Soldiers either killed or wounded as a result of the continuous operations by hazballah theres also huge numbers of rockets that were f they talk about those numbers, were talking about here at least five kilometers uh from the border in the galili that have been completely evacuated, you have also rocket fire reaching more than 23 kilometers uh within those settlements and that area you have 43 settlements that were evacuated and at least 230,000 settlers of the israelis have been evacuated and have been displaced from that area, since the beginning of the confrontations, you have also hazbullah has mentioned that they have targeted and perhaps destroyed some 68 vehicles, 38 command centers and 283 fortifications, and of course there in addition to the espionage devices that they have also destroyed, the Technology Technological hardware for the israelies, were talking about some 300 uh in addition to 570 res residence or settlements that are built in those settlement areas that. Were destroyed by hazballah, so you have very significant numbers for that were issued by hazballah, of course hazball has said 200 israel soldiers between killed or wounded since they cannot really verify how many were killed, but they have also said that any number that is given by the israeli um army is inaccurate and it is usually much more than what it is, of course the israelis continue their shelling and we are seeing heavy shelling in the towns like we said of the bean and we have new shelling in the area. Of farkilla as well and it seems the confrontation is getting more intensified just perhaps maybe hours, maybe days of a possible truth that could also uh be implemented here in lebanon as well. Thanks lot, marian press tvs mariam sal joining us from the lebanese capital beirot to the United States where it was rather a joyous occasion for former President Donald Trump whos increased his lead further on. Super tuesday, this is a day when the outcome of democratic and republican primaries in 15 states and one territory typically shapes the race for the white house. Addressing his supporters in florida, trump hailed his wins as unprecedented. Thank you very much, they call it super tuesday for a reason. This is a big one, and they tell me the pundits and otherwise that theres never been one like this, theres never been. Anything so conclusive, this was an amazing, an amazing night, an amazing day, its been an incredible period of time in our countrys history, its been sad in so many ways, but i think its going to be inspiring because were going to do something that frankly nobodys been able to do for a long time. Trump soul republican challenger nikki haley is far behind as shes one only in vermont, trump has won at least 890. Delegates to date, while haley has secured fewer than 70, that despite the former president is facing number of lawsuits in the democratic camp, incuent President Joe Biden is cruising toward nomination, as he swept in all 15 states on super tuesday, biden remains a frontrunner for democrats says he faces no real challenger within the party, he uh gears up for a likely rematch with trump in november, meanwile biden said in a statement that second trumps term would be a return to quote chaos, division and darkness, and thats a rap for i would stick around, theres plenty more to come here on press tv, see you soon.
