00:00And we begin with the situation in Palestine as Israeli attacks on Gaza continue as people

00:21await for the announced ceasefire to enter into force on Sunday.

00:25At least 101 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since the announcement was made.

00:30Just hours after the deal was made official, Israel has intensified incursions and attacks

00:36against central and the southern regions of the Strip.

00:40The Gaza Health Ministry reported that since the bombardments have killed at least 101

00:46people, including 27 children and 31 women.

00:50The truce is scheduled to take effect as of Sunday and last for six weeks, followed by

00:56a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as the release of detainees by Hamas

01:01and of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.

01:13Meanwhile in Israel, a demonstration was held in the center of Jerusalem in support of the

01:18agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

01:21The protesters demanded that Benjamin Netanyahu's administration guarantee the end of the genocide.

01:27A few hours after Qatar officially announced the phased truce agreement, the Israeli Prime

01:32Minister's office reported that Hamas had been aged on parts of the agreement and that

01:38they are trying to achieve last minute concessions.

01:41However, a senior Hamas political bureau official assured the international press that all disputes

01:47over the content of the agreement had been resolved and accused Israel of creating tension.

02:00Also demonstrators rallied on Thursday in the French capital Paris in favor of Palestine

02:05and called for a boycott against Israeli athletes that were participating in a basketball game.

02:11The protest was held at the Porte de la Chapelle and was organized by pro-Palestinian groups.

02:18The demonstrators opposed what they described as sport-washing or the use of sport events

02:23to normalize or improve the international image of the state of Israel.

02:28They carried signs with slogans like we don't play with genocide and called to cancel the

02:33match as a symbolic rejection of the normalization with Israel.

02:38This basketball match was between the Paris basket and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

02:48We continue with more information.

02:50Also on Thursday, in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, hundreds of students from the

02:54Beirut University protested to denounce the continuous attack on Gaza and also the crimes

03:00in the West Bank.

03:01The demonstrators demanded an immediate end to the attacks on Gaza while raising the Palestinian

03:07flag.

03:08In addition, the protesters displayed posters and photos denouncing the genocide perpetrated

03:13by Israel against the Palestinians and their territory.

03:18The students called for an immediate halt to the incursions and bombardments that have

03:22left thousands of martyrs, mostly women, children and also elderly people.

03:37And Yemen's armed forces welcomed the announcement of agreement between Hamas and Israel on a

03:49ceasefire in Gaza.

03:51The advisor to the Supreme Political Council, Abdul Elahjar, expressed that the group is

03:57proud and honored by the steadfastness of the support to the Palestinian people.

04:02In the sense, Elahjar reiterated the support to Palestine until the end of the Israeli

04:08genocidal war against the nation.

04:10The high official assured that they will fulfill their promise to stop the offensive against

04:15the Tel Aviv regime once the Israeli aggressions against Gaza cease.
