00:00Good morning and welcome to Mediain TV. Thank you for joining us for the news. Here are the headlines.
00:13The Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, highlighted on Monday the excellent coordination between his country and Morocco as part of Operation Marhaba 2024. Details in a few moments.
00:26Thousands of Israelis demonstrated yesterday to demand an early election. Blame it on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his war in Gaza and his failure to repatriate the hostages.
00:41Alassane Ouattara will address a message on the state of the nation in front of the Parliament on Tuesday. In this news, we will return to the issues of the speech of the Ivorian president.
00:56The Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, highlighted on Monday the excellent coordination between his country and Morocco as part of Operation Marhaba 2024.
01:05Morocco and Spain have put in place an important device and mobilized important human resources to ensure the successful execution of this operation.
01:12Under the effective presidency of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, the Mohamed V Foundation for Solidarity launched from June 5 to September 15 the 24th Operation Marhaba to welcome Moroccans living abroad.
01:24The Spanish Minister of the Interior highlighted on Monday the excellent coordination between his country and Morocco.
01:32Manifestations and roadblocks took place this Monday in the region of Tiaret in Algeria to protest against a serious shortage of drinking water.
01:42A problem that the Algerian president had promised to resolve before the Eid al-Adha.
01:47According to several accounts on social networks, new demonstrations took place in Tiaret, 280 km southwest of Algiers, from the beginning of the Feast of Sacrifice.
01:57Since May, drinking water in this semi-desert region is dry.
02:02The only source of supply is the dam in Barreda, which is also dry.
02:10In the midst of the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Palestinians continue to be bombed by the Israeli army.
02:15At least 10 people have been killed in the last 24 hours.
02:19According to a recent report provided by the Palestinian authorities, more than 37,400 Palestinian civilians have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 7.
02:27To this alarming human result, the authorities also found more than 85,000 Palestinians injured.
02:38Thousands of Israelis demonstrated yesterday to demand early elections.
02:42Protesters blame Benjamin Netanyahu for his war in Gaza and his failure to repatriate dozens of hostages.
02:48This demonstration took place about a week after the resignation of Benny Gantz and Gadi Esenkot from the War Cabinet.
02:55Despite the departure of these two figures from the opposition, who had joined the government as a sign of unity,
03:00Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies retain their majority in Knesset.
03:07The head of the opposition, Yael Lapid, still hardens the tone against Benjamin Netanyahu.
03:13If we know that the problem is the Prime Minister, then we know what the solution is.
03:18The solution is to replace him, to get rid of him, to throw him out of our lives once and for all,
03:23said Yael Lapid during his meeting with his parliamentary faction.
03:28He also held very harsh remarks against the government.
03:31The government is endangering the security of the state.
03:34Benjamin Netanyahu sells our fighters while we are at war.
03:38He sends tens of thousands of young people to war for no reason, said the head of the Israeli opposition.
03:47And to talk more about these recent events that shake the Israeli government,
03:51we are live from Al-Quds with Professor Ahmed Shehab, a professor of political science at the University of Al-Quds.
03:57Hello.
04:01Hello, my name is Amjad Shehab.
04:04So, yes, of course, Amjad Shehab.
04:07Benjamin Netanyahu decided 24 hours ago to dissolve the War Cabinet,
04:13a decision awaited after the departure of Benny Gantz and Gadi Eysenkot.
04:17What consequences can these events have on the continuation of the war led by Israel in the Gaza Strip?
04:25Yes, the only consequence is that it will strengthen the opposition.
04:30The party of Gantz and his partner Eysenkot have a military career.
04:38Gantz was the head of the army.
04:41In addition, he was the Minister of Defense in Barabon.
04:44Eysenkot was also the head of the army in Barabon.
04:49This council, this war cabinet, was founded on September 11,
04:55a few days after the attack of October 7.
04:58It was made to legitimize and give more credibility to this war council
05:06to satisfy the interior fronts in Israel,
05:12that this war will be well managed after the shock of October 7,
05:21but the dissolution of this cabinet.
05:28After the departure of Benny Gantz and Gadi Eysenkot,
05:32the most important things were planned, especially in the military careers.
05:37And currently, in this government, the government of Netanyahu,
05:41apart from the Minister of Defense, there is no personality
05:46who has any experience in the military careers.
05:53Thousands of Israelis took to the streets to kill the Prime Minister.
05:57Regarding the management of the war in Gaza,
05:59the head of the opposition, Yed Lapid,
06:01qualifies his government, I said it earlier,
06:04as a government of destruction and calls for the departure of Benyamin Netanyahu.
06:08So currently, Benyamin Netanyahu is clearly isolated.
06:11Can he continue the war in this context?
06:16Yes, he can continue the war in this context,
06:18because he has a parliamentary majority.
06:22He holds it very well.
06:25There are five political parties,
06:27so the party that governs with Netanyahu is the Likud party.
06:33We have not seen so far anyone who has deserted or resigned.
06:39We have not seen people who support Netanyahu within this government.
06:47There are divergences of opinions,
06:50but the opposition continues to reinforce itself after the departure of Netanyahu.
06:59There are also many issues that could also advance the departure of Netanyahu.
07:06There is the concept of equality that was completely violated
07:10when they allowed the Haredim not to do military service.
07:20This is a major issue for the majority of Israelis.
07:27There is the ideology of Zionism.
07:38This is also a problem.
07:47There is also the jump in the Gaza Strip every day.
07:54This will also add problems to Netanyahu.
08:01There is also the problem of prisoners.
08:04During the Hamas-Islam movement,
08:06he promised several times to release his hostages.
08:10He did not accept the rules of the game of exchanging prisoners with the Hamas movement.
08:17This will also be a failure,
08:20especially since the land offensive in Rafah did not result in Netanyahu promising a crushing victory over Hamas.
08:30We have not seen this at all.
08:32He also promised to release all the hostages.
08:36He made an almost failed liberation to free four Israeli soldiers held by Hamas.
08:45This attack killed more than 300 Palestinians and injured 700.
08:54It is considered an attack that killed more than three Israeli prisoners, among others.
09:08I think that the time is not in Netanyahu's favor at all.
09:17The pressure is increasing, especially since the demonstrations are more and more numerous.
09:24I think that the time is not in Netanyahu's favor at all.
09:28The pressure is increasing, especially since the demonstrations are more and more numerous.
09:33With a firm will from all the political forces of the opposition to mobilize the Israeli public opinion
09:45so that they can attack either by peaceful means or by other means
09:57in order to avoid a path that does not result in the general interest of the Israeli public opinion.
10:07It seems to me that the crushing victory that he has promised for two months,
10:12according to the military experts and also the officials,
10:17is not going to happen.
10:24Thank you, Amjad Shihab, for these clarifications.
10:28I remind you that you are a professor of political science at the University of Al-Quds.
10:33Thank you for the invitation.
10:36We continue this day with the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
10:39who warned on Monday that the Palestinian Authority could collapse in the coming months.
10:44A warning that could also be an announcement of the end of the Oslo Accords,
10:48signed on September 13, 1993.
10:50Explanations with Shaima Afekri.
10:56The lack of funding, the pursuit of violence and the fact that half a million Palestinians
11:00are not allowed to work in Israel.
11:03All these reasons can lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority in the coming months.
11:08The warning of the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Espen Bas,
11:12on this subject, represents a symbolic tribute to the Oslo Accords.
11:1631 years after their signing.
11:18This warning could also be an announcement of their end.
11:21The end of the last hope of the Palestinian people,
11:24victim of a genocide for more than 8 months.
11:26Welcoming the negotiations of 1993 between the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
11:31and the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
11:34The testimony of Norway about the future of the Palestinian Authority remains important.
11:39Addressing the press, the Norwegian minister said, I quote,
11:42If the Palestinian Authority collapses, we could find ourselves with another Gaza,
11:47which would be terrible for everyone, including the people of Israel.
11:51End of quote.
11:52After recognizing the state of Palestine a few weeks ago,
11:56Norway announced that it would increase its aid to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees
12:01of 100 million crowns, or 8.7 million euros.
12:04The agency has been affected by Israeli accusations
12:07according to which 12 of the 13,000 employees of the agency
12:10would have been involved in the attack launched by Hamas
12:13against southern Israel on October 7.
12:15UNRWA, which coordinates almost all destinations in Gaza,
12:18plays a key role in maintaining the Palestinian Authority.
12:22The decline of the role of the agency is therefore an additional element
12:25in the policy of weakening the authority.
12:3224 years after his last stay in North Korea,
12:35the Russian president arrived this Tuesday in Pyongyang.
12:39The two counterparts, who had already met last September in Russia,
12:43claim to want to develop their strategic partnership
12:46in order to better resist together the test of economic and diplomatic sanctions
12:50deployed against their two regimes by the United States
12:53and several Western nations.
12:56In a letter published by a state press agency,
12:59the Russian leader also thanked Pyongyang for the firm support
13:02it brings to its special military operation in Ukraine.
13:09Several dozen North Korean soldiers crossed the border with South Korea
13:12before retiring.
13:14This incursion occurred a few hours before the arrival of the Russian president
13:17in North Korea.
13:19In another incident, several North Korean soldiers were injured
13:22by a mine explosion while working near the border.
13:25According to the head of the state,
13:27this is the second time in less than two weeks
13:30that North Korean soldiers cross the line of inter-Korean demarcation
13:33that separates the two states.
13:39Alassane Ouattara is giving a speech to the nation
13:42in front of the parliament in a meeting.
13:44The head of state thus made the point on the state of the nation
13:47and the actions of the government.
13:49This year, President Ouattara's address is scrutinized by the entire political class
13:52with great attention.
13:54President Ivory's speech comes at a time
13:57when several formations are actively preparing for the presidential election.
14:00Alassane Ouattara began by recalling that the Ivory economy
14:03was the third French-speaking economy in Africa
14:06and the second economy in West Africa after Nigeria.
14:10The 27 countries continue their negotiations
14:13in view of a formal agreement on the key positions of the EU.
14:16After a first round of tables, Ursula von der Leyen
14:19remained a favorite for the position of President of the European Commission.
14:22The European leaders multiplied the support marks
14:25for a reintroduction of Ursula von der Leyen
14:28at the head of the European Commission.
14:30The President of the European Council, Charles Michel,
14:33however, stressed that a decision was not expected
14:36to take place on June 27 and 28 in Brussels.
14:43In France, the campaign is clear.
14:45The first round of the legislative elections
14:47officially began on Monday in France.
14:49A week after the dissolution of the National Assembly
14:52by President Emmanuel Macron,
14:54the four main political families are in place,
14:57including Jalil for development.
14:59A campaign under high tension, which begins on Monday,
15:02has a particular context,
15:04notably by the formation of the urgency of political alliances
15:07in order to counter the rise to power of the National Assembly,
15:10winner of the last European elections.
15:13Prime Minister Gabriel Attal,
15:15who leads the campaign of the Macronists,
15:17estimates that he wants to avoid the arrival of the extremes in power,
15:20judging that there is a risk of catastrophe for the economy and employment.
15:24Today, there are three choices.
15:26There is the alliance led by the French Insoumise.
15:29There is the alliance led by the National Assembly, the extremes,
15:32which would be a catastrophe, first in terms of social climate in the country,
15:35because it is the division on all levels, the conflict on all levels,
15:38but a catastrophe also for the economy and for employment,
15:41with a non-financed program of several hundred billion euros on each side
15:45which would translate into a blot for our middle classes,
15:48for our pensioners with tax increases.
15:50In echo of the program of the new Popular Front,
15:53rise of the minimum wage, indexation of wages on inflation,
15:56abandonment of the unpopular, pension reform,
15:58Gabriel Attal promised this weekend measures
16:01in favor of the purchasing power.
16:03Monday, he took into account the very remarkable words
16:06held the day before by the footballer, star Kylian Mbappé,
16:09who said against the extremes and the ideas that divide.
16:13Well, for me, I agree to make a dam at the extreme,
16:15even if the extremes are not good, especially since it is the extreme right.
16:18I find very closed-minded opinions,
16:21and they are not inclusive and tolerant enough.
16:24So I agree that we should make a dam.
16:27In fact, I quite agree with what Mbappé said.
16:29I see my failure, there are young people who mobilize,
16:32there are many people who say to go vote,
16:34even influencers like Squeezie who send messages for the extreme,
16:38we also see Mbappé.
16:40I still see around me that it is mobilizing quite a bit.
16:44But we're going to the unknown.
16:46We're going to the unknown.
16:48In my opinion, we're going to an ungovernable assembly.
16:53In the first round, I would vote for the list of our president, Macron.
16:59In the second round, I don't know.
17:01I don't know yet.
17:03I don't know yet.
17:04With this precision, I have a great distrust for RFI.
17:08For RFI.
17:10Less than for the RN.
17:11Less than for the RN.
17:13In the order of the growth of the intentions of votes measured by the polls,
17:16the extreme right of the National Assembly,
17:18with some right-wing rallies,
17:20the left alliance of the new Popular Front,
17:22the presidential camp,
17:23and the right-wing, the non-rallying Republicans to the RN.
17:26Sounded by dissolution,
17:27the presidential camp hopes to retain a majority,
17:31far from being acquired,
17:32given the polls,
17:33which only give it about 20% of the votes.
17:36577 seats of deputies are to be provided
17:39during the scrutiny scheduled for June 30 and July 7,
17:42that the RN therefore approaches in a strong position
17:45with some 30% of the votes.
17:49In Mauritania, during the electoral campaigns,
17:51the streets of the capital, Nouakchott,
17:53are full of tents,
17:54symbols of Mauritanian culture.
17:56Politicians and candidates set up these structures
17:58to celebrate their electoral evening
18:00and gather their supporters.
18:02Explanations with Sidi Mouhammed Chimat.
18:05Tents to win the sympathy of voters.
18:08In Mauritania,
18:09the electoral campaign,
18:10in view of the presidential election on June 29,
18:13slowly begins in the capital,
18:15in the streets of the hypercenter,
18:17the kheimas,
18:18the traditional Mauritanian tents
18:20installed at each election
18:22by the campaign directors,
18:23embellish the landscape
18:25with their sparkling colors.
18:31In Mauritanian culture,
18:33candidates mostly opt for kheimas.
18:36This symbolizes our nomadic roots
18:38and facilitates the exchange
18:40between candidate and partisan.
18:47These tents,
18:48whose size varies between 16 and 25 square meters,
18:50are made up of two or three layers
18:52of tiles mounted on two masts.
18:54The tiles are attached by ropes
18:56to stakes planted in the ground
18:58to avoid water infiltration
19:00and to resist storms.
19:04During each electoral campaign,
19:06the streets of Nouakchott
19:07start with a plethora of kheimas.
19:09These tents have evolved
19:10and have been able to accompany
19:11the mutations of our society.
19:12They are the real HQ during the campaigns.
19:18At each campaign,
19:19these tents are adopted
19:20because they are easy to transport and install.
19:22It is then enough to decorate them
19:24with lighting,
19:25comfortable furniture,
19:26posters and portraits of campaigns
19:28as well as sound equipment.
19:33Nearly 183 billion dollars
19:35are needed each year
19:36for the education of children in Africa.
19:38In a report published
19:40on the day of the African child,
19:42UNICEF noted that
19:43less than one African country out of five
19:45has reached the reference threshold
19:47in terms of funding for education.
19:49UNICEF indicated that
19:5024 countries have committed
19:51to devote at least 15% of their expenses
19:53to this vital sector,
19:54while 6 countries have dedicated
19:56only 10% to education.
20:02This is the end of this news report.
20:03Thank you for following it
20:04but stay with us.
