To further discuss significance of the palestinian operations, were joined by our guests earlier in our news review program. Its time now for the news review of this bulletin. At least three israels have been injured and an alleged stabbing operation in betkama, kiboots and occupied palestinian territories. According to the israeli media, one of the injured settlers is in critical condition, and the palestinian man that carry out the operation has been killed. There is no report on the identity of the palestinin man yet. On wednesday, a 15yearold palestinian was killed after allegedly stabbing and wounding two Israeli Settlers a checkpoint outside of algs. The backtoback incident. Were looking at the month of ramadan and im curious as to the state of affairs in the west bank. I mean this particular piece of news we had uh involving uh the incident is uh just a little i guess snipped into how dire the situation is there and maybe you can give us an overview we know that over 500 palestinians have been killed i think for the month or for the for the year 2024 about 150 or so but uh what are we looking at when it comes to the occupied west bank uh yes indeed the brink of explosion theres a lot of people here. That are very angry about whats going on in gaza, the starvation, the hunger and all this, the killing ge of children, now 27 kids died in the past week for lack of food, but the west bank al is not to be forgotten, the settlers have expanded their destruction, have expanded ethnicly cleansing palestinians, the soldiers are on the. Shooting palestinians, preventing us from even getting out of our ghettos like the bet ghetto, you to move to another ghetto or another concentration camp, so trip that used to take an hour now takes several hours if at all possible, this this and the continued settlement expansions and the approval of the Israeli Government of the thousands and thousands of settlement units have made the west bank boiling point. Now comes ramadan of course, and we have the first two three days of ramadan and tomorrow is friday, israel is preventing people from getting to aloxamos, so people are frustrated and it is not surprising, but we see reactions like the one you described, well. Said abu shark, when you take a look at the life of uh palestinians in the west bank, uh, we understand that obviously on the economic side things are very dire, you have all these uh palestinians who have been barred from working, they dont have a permit to work inside the occupied west bank, unless they do in the black market, and as a result you have uh people who are in dire situation there, when you take a look at whats happening in the gaza strip, do you think the west bank risks sliding into something similar to that . Yes, indeed, you see, israel is launching in the souther war in gaza to kill and overkill and to children, men women, everybody to get rid of the people the gather strip and in the same time israelching a war of ethnic cleansing and the was bank cantonizing the west bank, killing people restricting their movement, building you know apartite walls um humiliating people, putting thousands of them in israeli jails, exceprating the land, building more settlements, you see this is this is the the the type of treatment that israel is give to the palestinans, that is the israel on the destruction, utter destruction of the palestin of the palestinians wherever they might be in historic palestine, whether they are in jerusalem, in betlam, the west bank in nablus, in hebron, whatever. In the west bank in gaza in 1948 areas wherever this is the science project which is bent on the destruction of the palestinan people using psychological warfare. Using propaganda war, using genocidal war, using ethnic cleansing, using collective punishment, using all sorts of maltreatment against the Palestinian People. Unfortunately, the whole world is is not doing anything to the palestinians, they are just standing either by, sometimes they are issuing statements of condemnation, but they are not taking serious action, they are not imposing, for example sanctions on israel, they are not kicking. Israel from the United Nations organizations, they are not recognizing the right of Self Determination and right of retain for palestinian refugees, they are not recognizing our own right to live in honor and dignity in historic palestine. Thank you very much for that, let me thank our guest, palestinian um scientist and author uh talked to us from bethlehem palestini academic and activist from dublin, thank you to you both, with that we come to an end for this news review. And welcome back everyone youre watching press tv world news, the Palestinian AuthorityPrime Minister and his cabinet submitted the resignation a couple weeks ago, now news has a surface, theres a replacement for the job, one approved by the pa president , Mahmoud Abbass in our explainer program, we took a closer look at the issue. The palestinian president , Mahmoud Abbas is said to appoint Muhammad Mustafa as the next Palestinian AuthorityPrime Minister. Now this comes after the former palestinian Prime MinisterMuhammad Shataya resigned from office paving the way for Muhammad Mustafa. But who is Muhammad Mustafa . Well, mustafa is 69 years old. Hes born in tokaram in the west bank. He holds a doctorate economics from george washington. University in the us, he has also worked at the world bank for 15 years. Other notable points of his resume, he has served as pas deputy Prime Minister, the economy minister and as a bosss economy advisor of the close to Mahmoud Abbas, he is not a fata member. Mustafa has also sat on the Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee since the year 2022. Now he has also served as the chairman of the palestine investment. Fund since 2005. This is important since he oversaw a fund with nearly a billion dollars in assets, so thats a lot of money. Why is that important . Not only did he oververs gazas reconstruction under hamas rule after earlier war between israel and hamas, mustafa will be responsible for overseeing billions of dollars and expected international aid. The introduction of new Prime Minister is part of an effort by Mahmoud Abbas to reform the pa to create a technocratic government in the west bank. Mustafa himself is widely regarded as an independent technocrat. Hes been holding consultations with prospective cabinet members in recent weeks. The members are expected to be a group of technocrats unaffiliated with the boss fata party. For those that may not know what a technocrat or technocratic government is. Well, its one in which the ministers are not career politicians and they are experts in their ministerial fields. So hopefully thatll define that for you. Once the technicatic. Government is in place, regional stakeholders will be able to move forward with plans to establish interm committee in gaza responsible for providing Civil Services and internal security in the enclave, eventually govern the gaza strip after israels genocidal war against palestinians continues. Well, theres some confusion in this stance since Muhammad Mustafa has also said in the next phase, what he will do was he would reunite gaza and the west bank. Okay, this is. Direct quote, this means gaza on the west bank will be one palestinian land, not separated actually by a border with gaza. Will the United Government will perform under reformed governments comprised of new Prime Minister, it will be tasked with taking care of arab countries and european donors. Theres also request for the pa president Mahmoud Abbas to transfer some of his powers to the Prime Minister. And finally, will Muhammad Mustafa get along with the Israeli Regime . Well check out. This quote if we cannot remove the occupation, no reformed governmentts can build a Good Governance system. Doesnt sound like he and the israel regime are on the same page. You be the judge. Nigerian muslims, like millions of others worldwide, are fasting during the holy month of ramadan. However, rising cause of living in the countries caused significant challenges for many nigerian muslims during this fasting. Period press tvs dan juma islam is a month to cultivate abdullah he reports ramadan sacred month in selfdiscipline, selfcontrol, sacrifice and empathy for those in need, breaking of the fast in the evening known as iftar also forters a sense of community and sharing as people come together to share a meal. Here in nigeria, many muslims are observing the month of ramadan with fasting while grappling with the economic hardships plaging the country. The naira nigerias.
