3:31 am
hello and welcome to the program. i'm elizabeth put on him. it's being seen as a major blow against him off his leadership. the assassination of the deputy chief solid already called signal, a new approach by israel to with one gaza. the top come on to was killed and 11 on capital in a drawing strike, raising the risk of financing well beyond the strip is one has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement. but said the strike was nothing to attack against 11 on maybe 3 months into israel's warn, gaza oliver wood is coming to lucky intensify hostilities between is right and come off. so how will this affect the close of the war, and will the conflict expand beyond its existing areas? we'll explore these issues with, i guess in a moment, but 1st this report by katia lopez wholly on the assassination of her mazda seconds . most powerful commander sally oliver movie, could be
3:32 am
a game changer. 8 is killing, and a june strike on her mazda is bureau in b route, could signal a new front, stretching well beyond israel's war, on gauze. shortly after his death, how most warned it will retaliate. who i'm alone, it'll have be your own. it's an active terrorism in every sense of the word. it's also a violation of live in a sovereignty, a violation that represents an expansion of these rails aggression against people and nation design is to occupation is completely responsible for any repercussions . the israeli government has not taken responsibility for the strike, but it says all from us leaders in or out of the gospel strip our targets following the october 7th attacks. as one of the founders of homos, as military, we re helped to build closer ties between our mazda and gaza, and has blah in loving on his assassination, is a blow to both and
3:33 am
a widely seen as a warning to yvonne and its proxies. this is not something that is going to resolve any of the major issues here. if you get a full out of war between, as well as your, they're going to have a lot of destruction on both sides of eventually going to have to have as you start the death of, of rover. he will likely complicate if not, and cease fire negotiations. between israel and hum off along with any deals to release hostages. israel has a long history of chilling top from us commanders. now the strike in the center of has bull last leadership 11 on the appears to signal a change of military strategy. across the occupied westbank, supporters of a re, quote for revenge, think has to will help strengthen their resistance against is room. as we always say uh, one the there is going more lead is coming. so this is not the end. and the,
3:34 am
if they killed one of the leaders, more leaders and more, the police, cnn will take the flag guns, will continue the, the fighting against disaggregation. some analysts say this try catch, shaking him off as leadership and embarrass, has the leaders and living on the focus now turns to whether they will retaliate against israel and whether that could lead to a wider conflict. katia a little bit so the again l to 0 for insights story that spring in august and they root is ma. hi. yeah, here director of the kind of the middle east center instead on is mohammed around a professor at the university of head on an, as dumble is tell me. i am director of defense of islam and global affairs at b stumbled design university. a very warm welcome to all of you, missy. i'll begin with you and be rude. how could
3:35 am
a drawer and have carried out this attack in nothing on how could it have stayed in lebanese a space long enough to have done it? and it's clear that there is some sort of a security breach uh from, from us, from the information we've gather so far. it said it was a joint attack. it was accompanied by someone on the ground pointing to where the parchment at, which understood i really was at that particular moment please. this is the print them. the information we've gathered here. um it's, it's not that difficult, unfortunately, to breach 11, use fair space in parts because of the week, most of every of defenses in the country. so it wouldn't be the, it's not the 1st time and unfortunately, i doubt it to be the last. okay. mr. merante, how's this attack being viewed in ted on the killing of an ally and not just any ally, but the man known as the gulf between 2 positions,
3:36 am
groups linked to yvonne moss and has bella a well, it is very significant. he was viewed and iran as a hero for the resistance in palestine. he's had a very difficult life as a result of the threats made by this way, the regime as well on one this, right, the regime about any strikes. so uh, the assumption is that uh that there was always a fear that he would be ultimately targeted. lebanon is, of course, they have a place where he is right. and these have infiltrated the cut the country for many decades. and it's not very surprising that this is, has been carried out. but even though this was a blow, but i don't think he is going to have any impact on the way in which he run
3:37 am
supports the resistance, whether it's in a guys or elsewhere of the structures that exist and the cooperation that exists between the running the resistance groups and in particular how much is a very long term and there are many people involved, so it was a blow. but when we look at the genocide that's taking place in gaza and the bigger picture. mm. uh there is much else also going on and especially with the bomb explosion that we saw in iran to the on the anniversary a when a general cost him. so the money was murder and by the americans. many here also many here also believe that is right. the intelligence could have been working together with elements of isis to carry out the bomb attack. any ron, which killed almost a 100 people. okay,
3:38 am
mr. i'll audio and it's tumble. we're hearing from my other guess that this isn't and a surprise, and certainly the way that it was carried out that it was able to happen isn't a surprise either. but why do you think that as well, has not taken responsibility for despite staging many times that it would do precisely this that it would target him off. lead is wherever they are. this is pretty normally is really low. the operation is what it has carried out in the past has since the or so almost 3000 assessing nations, sometimes they make us destinations. people don't even know that they have been us as a nation. so i think this was just normal desk, but it was a planned, assessing nation by the highest members of the government. we gotta know that we're not dealing with a normal state. we're dealing with against or with bodies, with people who are well thing they are beyond any law dimension lower. otherwise, we're talking about people who assessing a people 4 assume the,
3:39 am
eliminating them as being threat or as sometimes being perceived as a threat. so this is not surprising and let's to keep in mind that that is age a government since day one after the the 7th operation had been threatening that they would go after many how mostly those terms of a mist fully. they also said even before october 7th, that he was not the number one target. all right, let's try it. how do you expect hezbollah to respond to this? they have said that this cannot go without punishment, has been deleted, has, has a method all i have said in the past that any attempt to assassinate anyone, 11 on would be crossing a red line. i think she's one of the, we go about this quite carefully. they, today they're, if it's quotes between a real kind of hard to place. there is a need to respond, especially as this is the 1st attack in the, in southern they moved us since 2006,
3:40 am
there's been an equation of determines where a, you know, you bomb, they will to, we bump to low fee. if you go on the side, the we bought haifa, it kind of a city for city, a citizen forces as an equation, which frankly says october 7. hezbollah has actually refrained from that, in part because they do not want to escalate matters and do not want to drag loveland on into an old off tor. i think jobs consideration continues today. so, i mean, we're going to sit and listen to save customer for lot in 2 hours he will be speaking about there's my expectation is that he will exhibit all the anger, all the sorrow a this attacks that smoke forgets any kind of thing. indeed there's going to come, i see that's what killed but also, and this some companies civilians, uh who were either passing by or lives in the same building were also killed or injured. yeah, you follow between a, between a rock and
3:41 am
a hard place. what about the lebanese government, the lebanese foreign minister has said that they have told hezbollah to not respond . this has to be something that comes from living on itself. just how difficult a position is 11 these government. and now let me use government is also wondering, yeah, it isn't a difficult position, but it's also already saying that it's way it's going to take this to the security council and requests some sort of an investigation of the security council at the un lebanese government. it's only option is really to try and to the international uh system, whether it's via the u. n. or other systems to ask for some sort of accountability for this attack. so far has been a lot of sense. i suspect that there will be some sort of the response. they need to respond, but it's will not be at a scale. thatwill risk driving level non into an old louse conflict. as i said earlier,
3:42 am
they've been trying very hard to kind of balance this out. so i'm just keeping uh, you know, the altercations along the border without uh, getting into a regional and what i was confident to it should have regional, as well as international repercussions. okay. mr. mirandi as well assassinated a top come on to an ron's revolution regard. in the suburbs of the syrian capital damascus recently side, the rising was obvious. he was also reported to have been a case of, you know, in what's known as the axis of resistance, which includes a moss and has bella. all these kennings pushing pressure on iran to respond. what definitely they put pressure on the ron, and he was definitely involved in supporting from us and hezbollah, another resistance groups. but i think the more important issue in the eyes of you, ronnie and says that this is just another reason why the writings believe that there's really regime is completely legitimate. it's not only carrying out a,
3:43 am
a genocide and gaza. it's not only counting on mass killings in the west bank, but it's also constantly bombing syria during that dirty warren, syria was supporting isis and outside the alongside the goal on heights. it is. it's constantly violated slapping use air space. it's carried out terrorist attacks and lab and on, and it, it, and as you point out, it murder that in the running general, and it carries out a terrorist attacks and you run and right today, the many fingers have pointed to the united states and the as well, because of their longstanding relationship with elements of isis, and they believe that to find this done, most probably these terrace came into the country. so iranians are saying that this regime is not just a problem for the policy and people. it's not just a tragic, a tragedy for the people of palestine,
3:44 am
but as long as apartheid exists in west asia, we're not going to see stability anywhere in west asia. and therefore the nature of the regime in palestine. and israel has to change fundamentally. all right, mr. alada on we've seen the outfront of grief in different parts of the occupied westbank. for example, the following, mr. louise kenning, how watch all the of a loss as he to him off but also to the palestinian political saying he was known to have pushed for unity with within power city infections was for thought for example, certainly shifts. so that is been one of the leading forces for unity among 1st thing in the groups, particularly with fedex and other nationalist groups is also being the liaison has been pointed out with other resistance groups outside that histone particularly feasible on your stomach. you have is also been
3:45 am
a unifying figure in many instances before as he was leading thomas's effort for national communities. so he is considered one over the icons of bodies standing in need those, particularly in the past few years. and he has also been a spokesperson for the west bank in terms of how much it was leading, how may i swing across the west bank. and he was also coordinating among many resistance groups as well as the operations within west bank. so he's being, as i said, he's going to be great loss. but i think thomas also has been able to be a disciplined group where they can quickly replace their leaders. they have cost today didn't this over time where they can replace uh, need us. we'll have full in deer in the, the destruction where they can very quickly get other leaders to step in and continue the marsh thoughts resistance us. yeah. given that how loss can replace is
3:46 am
leaders and many analysts have said since october, the 7th that it's as well as the objective of the facing come off elimination. how much they say is simply not possible could as well be looking for symbolic victories with assassination. such as this same experience shows us destroying organizations of this nature are practically impossible. i'm definitely not. and the way is where it is going about it's, i mean it's just campaign is not going to bring the end about the end of the, of the organization such as how much, uh, is there a, tried this in 2006 and 11 of which was the last we saw where that's ended. um, so i think these kinds of symbolic skills are important too, for as ray of to say it's doing something. let's not forget that until this moment . no one really has been has accountable for, for what the seen as probably the biggest security breach uh,
3:47 am
and the comfy and decades. uh huh. so there's been no political accountability nor any kind of accountability within the security services. so there isn't needs to name some when i'm to say we're taking care of the matter. we're addressing this issue. we'll be on bombing the hell out of gusto. right. um, i know where that is declared. that's bullet house leadership. whether in garza or in and countries around the world are the give it to just to me it targets. as far as that is concerned, mister vondik, do you think that as well would go off to other mosley does elsewhere in the region? and casa, for example, or to a kid even though caught her, is a, is as a close relationship with the united states, took you as a member of nato. i wouldn't put anything beyond the as ran the regime. but so far, tarkey are talked to, you hasn't done really much against this way,
3:48 am
the regime they continue to do business as usual, turkey exports $7000000000.00 of goods to the regime and oil flows through turkey from barcode to as well. so i think that the is right of these would probably like to preserve that relationship with turkey. of course, the iranians have been insisting that turnkey break off that relationship. but i do think what your previous guess may have may be quite true. i don't know what the future holds, but there's really reason has lost this war. there is no doubt about it in gaza. the resistance happened to her mouse and its allies. they've done extraordinarily well. uh and uh, yeah, mean is blocking is riley ports has by law is forcing 200000 and to at least to, to leave the north. mm hm. it may be that the under pressure is rarely use for involved in the bomb attack and you're on an informal sources and as well could tell the public that we punish iran. we, we murdered a senior,
3:49 am
guys that official and then we obliterated gaza. so that would be in victory and they would try to ultimately it make the public a try to make this way the public. you accept this as a victory. what uh, but again, it remains to be seen what happens in the future days and weeks. you say that is around this, not winning this war. and yes, it's the palestinians who are paying the biggest prize more than $22000.00 palestinians killed. most of them, women and children, mr. all audio. and i could see you wanting to come in earlier. let me ask you this . how do you think you saw it allergies? death might impact the negotiations if not to end the war, but at least a ceasefire, especially given that he was seen as having been involved in the indirect towards k to in the end direct tools that would mediations like how strong egypt and i think is what is going on the tree and they don't know how to climb down. that could be
3:50 am
the ladder by which they can clamp the 53 them leave. i wouldn't put the low stuck on this, but this one of the save is taking place right now because certainly they couldn't achieve none of the objectives they set out for themselves. they couldn't certainly devastate or enter mass. uh they couldn't uh, disarm, come as they couldn't win any significant admitted to victory. they're still rockets going on almost from the, from cause a daily, even from the areas where they said they had occupied. they are still not able to free any of their captives in the hands of the resistance. so not the a, not of the objectives they set out for themselves. they are able to achieve and the word is passed over the length of the genocide over the meaning of the destruction that they have wrecked on the test. i don't want to go through all the the that the substance of taking place, but certainly united states now as lost all its model if it had any in the past and
3:51 am
it was so d to talk about a crate or any other topic on the ice with the earth, and therefore they're trying to claim something in order to justify what they had done and also to in order to say that, okay, let's go to then initiate and table. now the resistance has said after this estimation that they broke off in investigations and existence has been adamant about saying that they will not negotiate on the fire that they need to stop. and it has to be seized, fired, and also there has to be a withdrawal before any kind of negotiation over the cap is taking place. i think that would be a lot of pressure put by the night states when i'm regina. so i've been putting a lot of pressure on the resistance, but i think after this assessing nation, no such pressure would would with comfortable because they know that they cannot trust anything that the is what it is. do i think i agree with you, your other speakers is that is what it is, is on the says of one of the greatest strategic defeats or setbacks. i'm not saying
3:52 am
that this is the end of occupation, but i think it has less so much in this battle. it would be very difficult for them to sustain any kind of doing of power that they've had and enjoyed in the past. or i've left them around it. mr. alada on touch the on the issue of captives. do you think that by kidding, rudy? that's the, is there any government has taken a gamble with the caps of lives? if this assassination means a delay or even the collapse of the negotiations to have their own people held in gaza released? yes, it is quite possible that it will do a serious damage to the negotiations. as your previous guess, pointed out, there are different theories as to why this way these did this, but it could be that they, it stop is it that nothing yahoo for his own purse, personal interest that he carried out this attack in order to stop the negotiations
3:53 am
and of course, that would put, is rarely a captive got thread because this way the regime is bonding all over a cause a, i'm us and it's allies have already pointed out that a significant number of the captives have died as a result. so was interested in a timely submission. you all who have in stopping the negotiations as well. nothing . yeah. who knows? that if he does not have a very convincing win and he has lost the war, there is no doubt about it. if he, if he cannot convince the public that he has had it some sort of extraordinary victory, he will, he will be removed from office and he will have to face a series of problems, legal issues. and 1st and foremost, of course, the internal issue of corruption, but also they are going to start asking questions about the defeat that he, that the country to. so it is quite possible that nothing yahoo,
3:54 am
i mean so i think that's a yahoo definitely wants to work. can to continue. so this would be a valid theory within that context. but there are other forces that play. meaning, i think within the united states that knows it's credibility across the globe has been destroyed, is soft power has been destroyed because it supports this genocide in the united states. the elements that want to end this and, and perhaps the there that would be another scenario which we discussed earlier about showing iranians and came on assassinations and then calling it a victory and calling it quits and hoping that this riley public will see nothing. yeah. when a pub in a, a positive way, there are different areas and we don't know, and i think the things will become clear and the days and weeks ahead. but the most important thing is that israel has definitely lost a very decisive battle in gaza. mr. olivia and i know you agree,
3:55 am
you think that as well has is also losing strategically. but what does that mean for the close of the war? and especially for the people of golf or, i mean the people that doesn't have been suffering tremendously. so certainly a relief for agencies, firewood to go a long way and trying to get the, the supplies needed for the people because there isn't another angle here which nathan, he has been pushing which is basically to have regional war. because i think as your previous guess is pointed out correctly, that he is, he is waiting for a corruption silence waiting to be removed from office. so one way to prolong his presence as prime minister is that he wants to have a regional. why the war particular in the northwest as well, and hopefully even with him, because he thinks when that happens, the united states would be on his science in which he can get rid of it. oh, it is pacific or audience threat. and these are the, the nuclear plants and also he wants to and the fact that his beloved has been
3:56 am
a very formidable full to the noise. and he wants to make sure that he can bring back all these set to the car to leave. and they have found, they will never go back until he takes care of the of both. well, so we, we say a lot of people think actually a lot of experts think that part of this part of the uh, what division for this operation against natalie is to direct as well. yeah. and to a i the war and i think that's one of the scenarios. i would give 3 scenarios pretty quickly. 10 percent for a loss or why the war and about 30 percent for a strategic hit by christmas, a lot to a strategic target within it. in which it wouldn't be perceived as proper response while we live in. so as a nation or 60 percent would be more image or one in which they would be a retaliation, but none of the, of the options would be to doing all that has to be solved any prostate in this order personality. and thank you very much for those productions. we will of course
3:57 am
be watching very closely to see how has bella, how, how mos, how yvonne retaliates that we, that is that sammy audi on an is done bull mohammed. but on the input on and earlier my yahoo, yahoo was joining us from day road. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. elder 0. com. and so for the discussion to go to a facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a inside story. you can also join the conversation on x a handle as at asia inside story for me, elizabeth put on them and the whole team here, bye for now the the latest news as a break. we would just hit pretty badly by tear gas. there have be serious complications on a weekly basis with detail coverage. this policy is making life so miserable for
3:58 am
the palestinians that they eventually leave is effectively forcible transfer. and that's a will cross. i'm fear of this gen and isn't. it's totally dark. we're using our own life. this is the only way that they have life and can cook food. it is a tenant of journalist to produce objective these. com, which is true. i don't think that there is a fair objective and impartial to representation. the listening post covers how the news is come. these cultures solutions that gives us no hope for future that we have to find creative solutions, not just turn our backs on the. don't think that has a number, think about it as a person and yourself, and that person ensures. so as you can see for this is my us, my life, and at least in my life, those dentures. we want, we want the education we want to bring, because the women in my country,
3:59 am
the not sweet to come up to us. we are not. and neither ology, we are human beings on this earth to be trades and equally we are false. that's our officers. whatever has been done before can be done as long as a human being is doing it. you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is clear what constitutes exempt. so we just talked to a see, i want you to start with just the facts rather as to what happened as independent. we won't be i want to freedom. we don't have to leave them in this country. policy obviously for women to get 50 percent representation and even accountability benefits. know 1000 service at this point and you're saying you
4:00 am
don't have any reports for that. i should just trust too much. how is that? unity often as i find the cool values to produce outstanding jen, this them out as the integrity in the pursuit of truth, the iran that is a harsh response after at least 95 people are killed in explosions at a ceremony, knocking the assassination of a ronnie in general, custom, so i'm at the, have them speak of this is as you see, it, i live and also coming up the leader of his beloved ones is ro,
4:01 am
any war in lebanon will come at a very high cost talk to the killing of a, how much come under and they were.
