 It's been over 110 days since Israel's genocidal war on Gaza began, and there continues to be no respite for the people of Gaza. Reports have emerged of Israel creating some kind of a barrier by destroying Palestinian houses and other structures in the region. Meanwhile, reports have also emerged of talks about a ceasefire. Although Israeli government officials have been lashing out against Qatar, which is reportedly the mediator of these talks. We go to Abdul for the latest on these developments. Thanks for joining us, Abdul. It's been over 110 days since the war began and the brutal Israeli offensive continues. So first, maybe could you take us through what is the nature of the offensive right now? The Israeli effort that is taking place also talk about, you know, constructing some or not constructing as much as destroying so much territory as to create some kind of a barrier as well. Let's start with the Israeli so called Israeli fence, which is which Israel has been creating for the last few days. In fact, for weeks, while destroying hundreds of Palestinian houses on the in the in the border reasons, the border when we're talking about is the border between 1948 Israel and Gaza. And now it is revealed that the Israel's Israel plans to make a one kilometer deep buffer inside the Palestinian territory, apparently for security purposes. Of course, this has a political and basically political and strategic ramifications, primarily because the so called buffer has not been accepted is not acceptable. In the international law not acceptable by the UN resolutions not acceptable by the Palestinians, of course, and even US Israel's closest ally has basically denied any, at least in public denied any Israeli claims to create any kind of land occupation inside the current Gaza. So yeah, that is happening. Apart from that, the Israeli attacks in Khan UN is continues. There was a strike on one of the UN shelters on Wednesday, which killed around nine people. And this is nothing new. This has happened before several times Israeli forces have attacked UN shelters and killed people, including the humanitarian staff which is working to provide humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. And apparently Israel is claiming now after the global criticism of this attack that this this has nothing to do with the idea of and it is basically carried out by Hamas similar tactics, as it has used in the past, when the one of the hospitals in the initial days of war was attacked. Basically it accused Hamas not basically in order to kind of shift the responsibility. Apart from that, of course, if you see the in terms of the number of Palestinian casualties increasing every day close it is close to 26,000 now, and a number of wounded in particular has increased to 64,000 at this moment, when we are talking, and it is increasing every hour. Among all of this, there is a talk of kind of, which was basically in the last few days, it came is surfaced that there is an attempt to kind of achieve some kind of two months truce between Israel and Hamas in exchange of the hostages but it seems that as that has led to a major diplomatic kind of tussle between Qataris and Israeli government because Israel has refused to entertain Qataris proposals, in fact even accusing that it is basically sheltering Hamas. So this is the latest from the ground. Abdul also generally, since you mentioned Qatar also trying to let's take a look maybe at the regional situation, we do know that of course tensions remain high in the Red Sea region as well. So what has been happening in the region as a whole? And why is there, are there any more reports of what the ceasefire mediation attempts or are really heading towards have they collapsed entirely? Well the Qataris are claiming that they continue to pursue the talks despite Netanyahu completely accusing them of kind of sheltering as I said before Hamas. In fact, on Thursday itself, one of the ministers in Netanyahu government reiterated its accusation against Qatar about sheltering Hamas, funding it and so on and so forth. But at the same time one should not remember that the Israeli government is also under tremendous pressure from the pop people in the country, particularly the relatives of the hostages who have been protesting against Netanyahu government's policies of no negotiations, no attempts to kind of exchange the hostages and so on and so forth. And there are large scale demonstrations taking place inside Israel basically demanding a ceasefire and exchange of hostages. This one should remember was not the case in the very first three months of Israeli war in Gaza and this is basically also reflects the popular mode in Israel is basically gradually shifting towards some kind of peace, some kind of a ceasefire. So yeah, apart from that, of course, when it comes to Red Sea, the Houthis continue to attack the Israel-bound ships as they have claimed. In fact, on Wednesday they claimed that they're in fact they engaged there with the US naval forces and in fact attacked directly hit one of the US warships. One should remember that US and UK are jointly attacking Yemen for last almost a week, more than a week now and they have repeatedly carried out attacks inside Yemen and despite those attacks, Houthis have not stopped their attacks on the ships as they have claimed earlier. And in fact, on Thursday Yahya Shari, one of the spokesperson of Houthis have claimed that the attacks will continue in the future as well. Apart from that, there are increasing pressure on the US different US bases US assets seen as supporting the war Israeli war in Gaza. There is a repeated set of repeated attacks on its bases across Syria and Iraq. And in fact, US carried out another set of bombing inside Iraq despite Iraqi government repeatedly saying that such attacks leads to the violation of its sovereignty. Nevertheless, these attacks and counterattacks has created a possibility of the withdrawal of US troops from Syria and Iraq as there are reports coming that US is under tremendous pressure to withdraw its forces from Syria at least for now. And there are talks beginning about US troops withdrawal from Iraq as well. So if you just see the regional aspect, despite US attempts to portray that it is working for the de-escalation and restricting of the war to Gaza itself, it is playing one of the most active roles in escalation of the war at the regional level. And because of that, there are greater involvement of the regional players, particularly the militias, what we call the axis of resistance against the US and Israeli war inside Gaza.
