00:00:04Panama collect fees for their artificial waterways, and if
00:00:07some natural straits also have financial mechanisms for safety
00:00:11related services, then the straight of Hormus cannot be
00:00:15treated
00:00:16of forever as a completely free route. The fact that Hormus is natural or
00:00:20international is not exempted from the costs of management and
00:00:23protection, and its strategic importance is exactly why financing
00:00:27its safety and management must be taken serious.

00:00:41of Arabia thought it could bypass hormos. It thought its pipelines,
00:00:45its American weapons and its
00:00:46of strategic partnerships could keep the oil flowing and the kingdom
00:00:50insulated from the consequences of regional war, but that
00:00:54carefully constructed illusion is now cracking. This week we
00:00:57examined how strikes have forced the shut. down of Riyadh's crucial
00:01:01east-west pipeline while Yemen's armed forces and
00:01:04Ansarulah are rapidly reshaping the strategic equation
00:01:08around Babel Mandib. KSA's oil bypass

00:02:30of
00:02:34of of
00:02:52and
00:02:52of arrestment of um a press TV correspondent Naghammed
00:02:56which was just in our news bulletin um I'm going to...
00:03:00to bring you up to a speed on what
00:03:02of has happened in the west bank, as we have been reporting, um,
00:03:06the there
00:03:07is really atrocities in the occupied west bank territory have been
00:03:10ramped up since October 2023, ever since the Gaza
00:03:14genocidal war began, and what has been
00:03:18happening since then, we have been more demolition orders, more
00:03:21detainment of journalists, as matter of fact, we had
00:03:25a report of more than 60 journalists have been detained in
00:03:29the occupied west. one
00:03:30of them was a press tv correspondent which was um along
00:03:34with her camera
00:03:35of crew were stopped a flying checkpoint near the town of
00:03:38tuqu southeast
00:03:40of the city of Bethlehem the regime's forces searched them
00:03:44and took the press dev's uhamed into
00:03:48in custody this is after weeks of incitement against her
00:03:52byes roti settlers and this has happened um for
00:03:56many different times since now um now has always been
00:04:00suffering tear gas canisters as she was reporting
00:04:04live for press tv, but this time she was actually
00:04:07detained.
00:04:19at this hour, let me bring
00:04:21of ask you by your broad takeaway of what it means that
00:04:25there's really aggression in the west bank um have
00:04:28been more and more in the past few days and right now we have a
00:04:32press tv correspondent detained, yeah, you have
00:04:36been giving the historical respect to what has been happening in the last few days
00:04:40and you are absolutely right, west bank is turning into
00:04:43a very difficult place for journalists and as we already know
00:04:47during the
00:04:48of genocide in Gaza that around the
00:04:51of world, even in the west bank now we are seeing that being repeated,
00:04:55Gaza was already called the graveyard of journalists in the
00:04:58a world, we had all the organization from ICG from journalist
00:05:02syndicate saying how difficult for journalist to work in the occupy territories and
00:05:06now we are seeing how
00:05:09of difficult and how dreadful Israel has made this place for the
00:05:12journalist to function in July
00:05:16itself, 108, at least 108
00:05:19early forces, but they did not, you know, they were not
00:05:23limited to only Israeli forces, even the settlers were attacking
00:05:27journalists, they were, then the Israeli regime was
00:05:30interrogating journalists, they also were destroying their equipment, as
00:05:34you mentioned that the press tv journalist has been now
00:05:38taken by with her crew as well, so this this is being
00:05:40repeated uh Again and again in the last few months where
00:05:44journalists working in the west bank are being persecuted
00:05:48by the Israeli forces and also the settlers are persecuting them, so
00:05:52now we are seeing what was being exercised in Gaza
00:05:56during the genocide for the last three years is now being repeated
00:05:59in West Bank and it's very important to mention
00:06:03that this is not limited to journalists in the last few months we have
00:06:07been seeing how the violence in West Bank has
00:06:11multiplied. uh so much founded the alarm
00:06:15over um the growing campaign by Israel settlers to
00:06:18expand Jewish religious rituals inside the
00:06:22aloxa moss compounds that is move by the israelis to
00:06:26judize um the occupied uh west
00:06:30side the the city of algots even more than
00:06:33before um I wanted your thoughts on what this what is are
00:06:37trying to do to the west bank is this move toward
00:06:40full annexation the territory? Yeah, we have already
00:06:44had many the Israeli ministers speaking about it quite
00:06:48openly, you know, they have been saying that they want to annex the
00:06:52whole the west bank, and there have also been such radical
00:06:55statements where these ministers from Israel have
00:06:59been saying that they were, they did a mistake, they committed a mistake
00:07:03when they allowed Palestinians to stay in
00:07:07the occupied territories in 1948, and now they want to
00:07:10undo the mistake, so they... want the Palestinians
00:07:14to totally leave,
00:07:18not only the West Bank, but also Gaza, we have also
00:07:22seen the being done behind the doors, is it something which
00:07:26is being talked about, which is being reported in the
00:07:29media, and we have also seen laws being passed by
00:07:33the Israel's Nessed, the Israeli parliament where they are
00:07:37talking about annexing the plan A, the plan B,
00:07:41about the West Bank. the occupied al-quds
00:07:44so and we as you mentioned about the Hamas
00:07:48statement, we are having statements from the resistance
00:07:51groups very frequently in the past few months where they are
00:07:55saying that Israel is planning to increase its
00:07:58annexation the west bank and as far as the
00:08:02Gaza strip is concerned there also we are seeing the yellow line is
00:08:06changing the so-called yellow line is changing every day they are
00:08:10annexing more land so and now the way the
00:08:14Israeli regime is behaving is that it
00:08:16is holding no guards, it
00:08:20is speaking about
00:08:21it is doing it on doing this on ground as well and
00:08:25the way palestinians are being persecuted, the way people in the west
00:08:29bank are being attacked by army is enough of enough of proof
00:08:33to armies enough of enough of proof to for the
00:08:37world to see the policies that Israel is
00:08:40practicing in the west.
00:08:45Yes, Amira, there was this also Israel who was
00:08:49talking about what is happening in the west bank um, they
00:08:53were the ones that reported that at least 60 Palestinian
00:08:56journalists in the West Bank have been detained, as I was
00:09:00just saying in our intro before we um, before I
00:09:04ask you the first question
00:09:05on this, that was that the name of that group was Betselem,
00:09:09which was saying Israel is using military forces and... armed
00:09:12settlers to embark violence, fear and coersion
00:09:16across the occupied west bank territory. there was report
00:09:20bindist rights group uh which said at least
00:09:231,107 palestinians were killed
00:09:27between october 2023 and september 2026
00:09:31and israely attack. so the situation the occupied west bank,
00:09:35it seems as you just said that this ridy regime has a plan for the
00:09:39occupied territory as long as Donald Trump is turn a blind
00:09:43eye in his first administration he did a lot for the
00:09:47um the Israel sign to actually go ahead and annex the whole territory
00:09:51right now we are saying the ramifications of that move by Donald Trump
00:09:55and his administration in terms of
00:09:57what is happening to the occupied west bank there was this
00:10:00visit by JD vans the first vice president the US to the
00:10:04west bank which changed the situation to a bit
00:10:08but this hasn't changed the Israeli regimes uh
00:10:12when it comes to
00:10:13the west bank, now they are detaining more and more journalists
00:10:17as they have detained Press TV's correspondent in the
00:10:20occupied territory.
00:10:25I have this question, Homero, what sort of a
00:10:28procedure does a journalist has to go through when
00:10:32they are, if you know, of course, when do
00:10:35you detained by the israely forces? first of
00:10:39all, under international law, journalists all over the
00:10:43world are protected and specifically in the conflict zone,
00:10:46journalists are protected, and as we know as the details which us
00:10:50are facing from the from from the arrest of our press
00:10:54TV. journalist of our colleague is that she was wearing a press
00:10:58west and even and all the crew was also wearing a press west
00:11:02so that was clear approve that they are
00:11:06reporting from the ground they are
00:11:09journalists so under international law you are not
00:11:13allowed to arrest any journalist
00:11:16working you know covering the news
00:11:20but we know that Israel does not adher to any laws we have
00:11:23seen them at journalists in Gaza,
00:11:27if you remember there was a double tap incident even in
00:11:31Gaza where Israel first attacked
00:11:33journalist a camping site where journalists were camping near a
00:11:37hospital, then after after few minutes they again
00:11:41attacked it so that they they wanted to raise the casualty
00:11:44number, so this deliberate attempt to muzzle
00:11:48the voice of truth, we have seen that in Gaza, we
00:11:52have seen that in Lebanon as well and even in... Iran, they did
00:11:56kill few journalists in Iran as well, so this is what Israel has been practicing
00:12:00because they do not want the truth to come out, they want to do
00:12:03everything where they can muzzle the voice of truth.
00:12:07As far as a procedure you talked about is concerned that how do they behavior
00:12:11journalists? We have reports after reports coming from
00:12:15the NGOs the world, different organization, even the
00:12:18organizations that have been working in the occupying
00:12:22territory saying that the way..." 'Israel is
00:12:26behaving with the prisoners is
00:12:29very inhuman, we have even
00:12:33seen you know sexual
00:12:37misconduct being done to palestinian prisoners, we
00:12:41have seen animals being
00:12:45used to torture palestinian prisoners,
00:12:49so the journalistts who are also imprisoned by the Israeli
00:12:52regime, they also'. face some these
00:12:56tortures, but here the Israeli
00:13:00regime may take some precautions
00:13:04because
00:13:04you know journalists are going to report about it, but as we
00:13:08know they are being supported
00:13:11by the United States, by other European countries, as you were mentioning
00:13:15how Donald Trump or for that matter, the United States or
00:13:19other European countries are doing nothing about the
00:13:23annexation, about the crimes that are being committed by Israel, so they have
00:13:26impunity which they have gotten from the west,
00:13:30so they are going to use
00:13:34that impunity in torturing Palestinians in whatever way they
00:13:37can, be the doctors of Palestine, be the journalists of Palestine,
00:13:41we have seen how they have been treating the doctors of Palestine, how they
00:13:45have imprisoned them without any charges, so I think this is the same
00:13:48treatment that is going to be met with the journalists that are imprisoned
00:13:52in the occupied West bank. Another
00:13:56important thing to actually signify Homeira
00:14:00is uh how before uh was
00:14:03detained by the Israel military forces uh
00:14:07she was going through a phase of incitements uh
00:14:11against our by the settlers there um what do we know
00:14:15about this so far uh what we know about the settler
00:14:19violence is that for the last few months it has increased many fold
00:14:23there have been thousands of incidents reported of settler violence and
00:14:26these settlers are being supported by the Israeli
00:14:29army, we have seen them
00:14:33you know ren sacking palestinian homes, we have seen them attacking
00:14:37palestinian farmers, we have seen them
00:14:41burning agricultural land, olive
00:14:43trees, even rensacking homes of Palestinians
00:14:47and and at the end of it we have at the back of it we
00:14:51have seen how Israeli army protects them and how Israeli army
00:14:55actually helps them to carry out these attacks,
00:14:58so as we know in the last few months, these attacks
00:15:02have multiplied lot, and it is very
00:15:06important to mention here that in the
00:15:10last few weeks we saw
00:15:12England, France and
00:15:15Canada living
00:15:18sanctions against the settlements
00:15:21in the occupied West Bank, why? I am
00:15:25mentioning this here is that the settler violence has increased to
00:15:29such an extent that even these countries that
00:15:33are responsible for the atrocities that are being
00:15:36committed by Israel against Palestinians could not hold
00:15:40back, these countries are not good faith
00:15:43actors. England is responsible for
00:15:46the for Israeli regime
00:15:50to be placed in that in this west Asian region. It was
00:15:54b for declaration in 1970s that gave birth
00:15:57to Israel in the west Asian region, but
00:16:01even these countries were forced to
00:16:04sanction the settlements because the violence is. growing so
00:16:08much that they cannot now
00:16:11you know turn a blind eye to the to the
00:16:15amount of violence and even the people the
00:16:19countries in these western countries are forcing their
00:16:23government so the this is a proof about
00:16:26how much this violence has multiplied how much Israel
00:16:30is now persecuting
00:16:33Palestinians what type of atrocities
00:16:36it is committing against estinians, the US ambassador to the
00:16:39occupied territories, Mike Hakabi, even we have always seen
00:16:43he is a zionist and he's a very proudly says
00:16:47that he is a christian zionist, but even he had to talk about the
00:16:51settler violence, it is so much,
00:16:53it is so rampant it is so so
00:16:57so you know out of control
00:17:01now in the occupied territories and as you
00:17:04mentioned our press tv colleague. also had to undergo
00:17:08this violence at the hands these
00:17:26this hour, um, we just had breaking news coming in that a
00:17:29press tv correspondent in the occupied was
00:17:33detained by disturty forces at one the
00:17:36checkpoints - we do not know much the details of what
00:17:40why and how it happened exactly and if there were any arrest
00:17:44warrants on her, but you know more than anyone about the
00:17:47situation
00:17:49for the journalists and the occupied territory,
00:17:51muti?
00:17:56well, first of all let me express my profound solidarity
00:18:00with our colleague nak
00:18:02for uh as you being detained by the Israel incubition forces. as you have just
00:18:05mentioned, this is not surprising. from the Israeli regime and this comes
00:18:09in the context the systematic policy the Israeli regime
00:18:13to keep attacking the palestinian journalists in the west bank in
00:18:17Gaza or elsewhere aiming to deter those journalists
00:18:21and prevent them from reporting the truth about the Israeli
00:18:25atrocities against not only the pestinian people but against the
00:18:29peoples the region entirely uh either it was
00:18:33here in Gaza in the West Bank or in Lebanon or in Iran as
00:18:36well. so we are talking about a continuation the Israeli
00:18:40policy to keep targeting the journalists and as you are talking
00:18:44about more than 250 peristian journalists have been
00:18:48killed here in gossip since the start of this genucidal war till this
00:18:52moment and those sorget is those suggerings are still ongoing with no
00:18:55sign of abering against the palestinian journalist
00:18:59and no one can deny that the Israeli regime is
00:19:03trying by leaps and bounds to deter those journalists and
00:19:07them from reporting the truth in order to expose uh the
00:19:11real face the Israeli regime when it comes to
00:19:15attacking the palestinian people and committing
00:19:18these opponic massacers against innocent civilians
00:19:21and as you know this is this is another
00:19:25manifestation on how the Israeli regime is still potally and
00:19:29deliberately targeting the truth itself by targeting
00:19:33those palestinian journalists and let me remind you once again that
00:19:38targeting is not targeting for herself alone,
00:19:42this targeting extends to reach i the channel, the prest
00:19:46dev because the because the systematic policy
00:19:50of reporting the truth and resisting the Israeli
00:19:53narrative and resisting the Israeli propaganda machine,
00:19:57so we are talking about a thor policy
00:20:01imprised by the Israeli regime in order to obliterate the
00:20:04truth wherever it was either, here in gaz strip or
00:20:08elsewhere and this reflects clearly that we are talking
00:20:12about an entire propaganda machine that continues to work day and night in
00:20:16order to defy as you know the truth on the
00:20:20ground here uh once again we are talking about a systematic
00:20:23policy that covers all areas the palestinian territories
00:20:27and even extends beyond that to to reach Lebanon Iran
00:20:31or elsewhere and this reflects clearly that we are talking
00:20:35about dirty rule played uh by the Israeli
00:20:39regime and those international media out this because definitely they would
00:20:43never talk about this arrest or this abduction the
00:20:47palestinian general because are still turning a
00:20:51blind eye to the Israeli fotility when it comes to the palestinian
00:20:54people and whenever there is any sort of any counter attack against the
00:20:58Israeli regime, they are still reporting uh that
00:21:02resistance action intensely and
00:21:04extensively. what
00:21:08see um, as you just said, it's a systematic detention when it
00:21:12comes to the Palestinian journalists and the occupied west bank and in
00:21:16Gaza as well, they target um palestinian.
00:21:20journalists in the besieg gaza's trip and they detain or
00:21:23kill some them. also there was this report by betsalem and is ready
00:21:27writes group that more than 60 palestinian journalists have been detained
00:21:31by the history forces in the occupied territory and also our viewers
00:21:35are looking at the bottom their screen saying that terrorist s
00:21:39have been holding 37 palestinian journalists behind
00:21:43bars including 19 held without no
00:21:46charge or trial. the question that i had for you before i let
00:21:50you go and he is what is the procedure and
00:21:54what uh what is the procedure that a palestinian journalist goes
00:21:57through when they are detained by Israely
00:22:00forces?
00:22:03well no wonder that we are talking about the palest when we are talking about the Parisinian journalists
00:22:07we are talking about as you know slice the parissinian uh
00:22:11people uh generally and they are uh they are
00:22:15experiencing what the entire people here in gaz strip or the entire
00:22:19patcenan people? across the palestinan territories are going through, we are talking
00:22:22about unprecedented measures inflicted by the
00:22:26Israeli authorities against those palestinian detinies and
00:22:30we are still witnessing how the Israeli regime is escalating as you its
00:22:34attacks and the brutalities against the palestinian detinies
00:22:38and unfortunately the they are still
00:22:41braging about the way they are treating the parestinian
00:22:44detinies and this is happening unfortunately before the eyes
00:22:48the entire world and this is a disgrace to the international community
00:22:52and the international humanitarian organizations and bodies are still witnessing
00:22:56what's happening without taking decisive actions to stop uh those
00:23:00subterities against the palestinian ditanies no one is talking about the
00:23:04rights of those parestinian ditanees are still going for hell inside the Israeli
00:23:08jails and the Israeli detention centers and we and everyone
00:23:12across the globe has witnessed and heard how the
00:23:15paristinian people and the palestinian detones particularly from gas trip went
00:23:19to inside the concentration camps
00:23:22including man
00:23:25and the other concentration camps in the Israeli
00:23:28regime and this clearly that we are talking
00:23:32about
00:23:33the the culmination the Israeli poserity towards
00:24:06um you heard the breaking news uh a press tv correspondent has been detained
00:24:09by the israely forces uh that and this happened today
00:24:13after phases of incitement against their biter
00:24:17settlers and i wanted your broad settler um, I
00:24:20wanted your broad takeaway,
00:24:24okay, first of all, I think Israel is
00:24:27plondering
00:24:30in in this cases about the journalists, about
00:24:33the besost, inside Jerusalem, I think
00:24:37Israel lives a placer of
00:24:40lies, justifications,
00:24:44to convince the international community of its policies of
00:24:48its aggression against. the Palestinians
00:24:50naqa is working
00:24:54professionally without incitement against Israel, without
00:24:57incitement against settlers, by the way, the settlers,
00:25:01weeks ago, they incited against her to
00:25:05to ask the Israeli army to arrest her. now when you talk
00:25:08about the correspondence in the west
00:25:11bank, this is an obvious evidence that
00:25:15Israel targets everyone, including the
00:25:19journalists. They assassinated Shirin Abu, the
00:25:23correspondent of al-Jazeera, years ago with cold
00:25:26blood without
00:25:29accountability, with the call the blood, now
00:25:33they torture, they arrest, they
00:25:37kill journalists in the west bank in the
00:25:40gaza strip without any
00:25:44question, without any stance or
00:25:48real stance or real. from the international
00:25:51community to stop the Israeli aggression, the
00:25:55Israeli recursion
00:25:58against this field especially and don't forget.
00:26:02that the Israeli cubation after the
00:26:06genicide and starvation and after the
00:26:10seventh of october was
00:26:13exposed Israel, Israel became under the
00:26:17light in front the international community,
00:26:21Israel failed failed in failed
00:26:24in showing the international community
00:26:27it's fake narrative or renovate
00:26:31the the... image there now
00:26:34with the the arrest with this arrestment, i
00:26:38think the Israeli government took older steps against the
00:26:42journalists in the west bank, they attacked them by the
00:26:46way two days ago in
00:26:48almayar, they prevented them
00:26:52from covering the field to intimidate
00:26:56them, to deter them to
00:27:00hide the truth. from
00:27:04spreading around the world, this is the point for the Israeli
00:27:07government, they are targeting naqa,
00:27:11shirin, mus, everyone
00:27:14even by the
00:27:16way, is holding the
00:27:19US citizenship,
00:27:22and that will lead to an
00:27:25important question for the
00:27:29US embacy in Jerusalem, where is your stance now? what is
00:27:33your real stance to protect your citizens from
00:27:36the Israeli
00:27:37aggression?
00:27:42um, there was reported um the only thing that we had
00:27:45after the detention of
00:27:47uh press dv's correspond
00:27:48in aaga hammed was that this happened after
00:27:52settler insightment. what does that mean actually
00:27:56for the viewers that do not know? and
00:27:59this is a evidence,
00:28:03this is an obvious evidence that the Israeli
00:28:07army took his took
00:28:10its decisions and instructions from the settlers in the
00:28:14west bank, on the contrary, they they
00:28:18denied any relation with the settlers, now when you
00:28:22see the settlers groups and their social
00:28:26media and their incitement against the journalists and
00:28:30after that the Israeli army arrest them, "this
00:28:33is an, this is an obvious evidence that the Israeli
00:28:36army has has a high
00:28:40coordination with the settlers to intimidate the
00:28:43Palestinians, to deter them, to
00:28:46blackmail people, and by the way, the
00:28:50Israeli army threatened people many times
00:28:54and prevented them from dealing with the
00:28:58media, with all outlets in the west bank to hide
00:29:01the..." the truth to prevent
00:29:04the Palestinian narrative and now with
00:29:08these steps from the settlers and and
00:29:12I think
00:29:13that this is deliberately the the settlers
00:29:16deliberately incited against Naqa to go
00:29:20through the next step to prevent any
00:29:23journalist from covering the field and
00:29:27that will lead to more steps against all
00:29:31journalists with all outlets without hesitation
00:29:35from the Israeli settlers and the Israeli
