8:04 pm
a just war that is unparalleled to morality. or the when a good now del corresponded i. abraham, she's in jerusalem covering this story. floors are you. so talk to me about the reaction that we're getting out of israel. we just heard the prime minister there to the trade. he has now commented in this came after a series of reactions, reactions from senior is really political figures in addition to the prime minister of calling at this move by the isis, the prosecutor disgraceful. he has also accused the prosecution of anti semitism, which is an accusation that has come out of political leadership time and again throughout this war against multiple international bodies. whenever it is real, finds itself in a position to be in a position where it's accused of things like what kinds are even when it's subject to heavy criticism. and in addition to the prime minister, we've also heard from the president who is seen
8:05 pm
a sort of with the spokesperson for the spirit of the nation. if you will. we've heard from these really for administer, israel catch all condemning the this move or this, this move by the i c. c prosecutor seeking the arrest of an attorney, a whole and deland. we've also heard from his really opposition on this who have been very critical of the prime minister and his government and the conduct of the war. but in this issue, they can sort of voice the same concerns as the prime minister. we've heard from here even the p, the leader of the opposition, who completely rejected this idea. this notion dot is really a leadership and from us leadership, it can even be mentioned in the same breath because of course, the prosecutor. but while he didn't make a direct comparison between them, he did a he is seeking arrest warrants for both from us and is really leadership in the same statement. it is real,
8:06 pm
does not recognize the jurisdiction of the international criminal court. so what impact is this going to have? if any, are right now, the prosecution is seeking a restaurant, so there's no arrest warrant yet. so effectively, this doesn't really hinder or limit the movement of the prime minister or his defense administer. but if we were to arrive at a situation where there is indeed an arrest warrant, this would limit the movement of these 2 senior is really the politicians. it'd be worth to find themselves in a country that does recognize the jurisdiction of the i. c. c. the country would be obligated to facilitate their arrest and their transfer to the hague. but this is that you don't want to literally latest the latest of a series of diplomatic blows to israel on the global stage. you know,
8:07 pm
in reaction to how it has chosen to conduct this for you have these, are you working with the latest tonight from jerusalem? all you think you were turning now to our other top story runs president abraham or a usa raising has been killed in a helicopter crash. you're wrong to state tv, says that president raised his for administer, and other government officials died in a remote region near the border with eyes or by john iran supreme leader. i told her all, and how many has appointed an interim president to miss told elections within the next 50 days as a frame leader has also ordered 5 days of official morning search teams scale at the for the mountains and northwest and run for hours. and devin eventually locating the crashed helicopter and finding no sign of survive
8:08 pm
as for the risk, it was pulled bodies from the wreckage. the the the helicopter wing down near runs border with as a by john with president crazy. and his foreign minister had been attending a damn opening sooner and the thought of it must be the more i said about the business i didn't when you a run state tv can send can use if the dates on me though you guys sending shock waves across around with leaders across the world, offering their condolences at a video and i thought them the tiles. first of all, i'd like to extend my condolences to the brotherly uranium people on the death of the president of the republic, the minister of foreign affairs, and their accompanying delegation following the accident. and such a loss out,
8:09 pm
we ask, god almighty to forgive them. a crazy became president and 2021 man was a deeply conservative and hotline leader he of a saw a brutal crack down on a rainy and protesters. in recent years, rosie was seen as a potential $0.60 to the supreme leader. i a total of from amy and she is his strategy of supporting proxy forces across the middle east. i a total of how many has declared 5 days of public morning and said the vice president mohammed must bear, would act as president. knew elections must be held within 50 days. ron's cabinet has held an emergency meeting, assuming they would be no problem with the management of the country, and vowing to follow right. well, covering marteen is
8:10 pm
a senior lecturer and at the university of sussex. he specializes in iran and international relations. i asked him what the sudden death of abraham very easy will mean for the regime integra. i guess indeed the actually the fact that he was seen as a potential successor to watch on a hominy along with a combination old son who many observers believed is they really a kind of candidate for, for succeeding his father has given rise to all sorts of speculation within uranian community abroad that inside your, on whether this was and the sort of kind of caused some code inside job to get rid of a potential uh competitor. so that some and a son can exceed to, to, to, to the throne of his father. but in, in terms of the impact of his death in the actual, um, posts cuz structure of iran actually presidency has limits of power. it's not
8:11 pm
compatible to the republican systems. the real power lies in the hands of the supreme leader to the hominy and also the effect of power in the hands of the eyes you see are over there, she goes, which has close relationship with i to the harmony. so in some ways, you might say that this has simplified the succession with the removal of a potential candidate. but in any case, it is simply of experts which has to select to succeed. who succeeds the, the supreme, anita, but many, but the candidate as soon as the members of that assembly themselves are selected by a body which is pointed by the supreme leader. so the whole thing is sort of the engineer or can be engineered in advance when you say that the, the power equation inside the country may be simpler. but because of this tragedy, i'm wondering, the, what does it mean for foreign policy? we know that iran is involved in a rack, syria, lebanon on human. and of course,
8:12 pm
we know that it backs him off in gaza. will this tragedy with the loss of the president the, the foreign minister will, will that change anything there? uh well, you know, as its cuz uh, as i said this is well known. um, you know, the, the, the person was the last say on matches of national security as well as the strategic foreign policy is the supreme lead to. so in that sense, uh, even if right you see was not in line with supremely the, i don't think he could actually make a huge change in that regards. but the fact that he's death to the rice, he was a protege of i to a hominy. he was very obedient to him, which was one reason why, among many reasons why he was actually able to win the elections because all the other potential candidates were disqualified by a body which is appointed by just supreme data. so i don't think his demise actually impacts your arms foreign policy and regional policy and it will remain in
8:13 pm
the hands of wild you see. and the supreme need to the, the relationship or the, or the absence of a relationship with with is real. will that be impacted at all by, by this tragedy to i don't. so, i mean, one of the many conspiracy theories which is circulating around is that is why i might have had some role. and it's because racy was returning from a meeting with the president of as are by john republic, hoping to get them between the 2 countries on as i by john is very, has very close ministry and security relations with his read for which actually uranium regime has in the past threatened to the public colors or by john, but of course it is right, has denied any involvement. and this remains a only a kind of the theory. but in terms of the impact on his ring, the ring and relationship, i think iran will continue to support. it's a so called excess of resistance. what other people call its proxy forces against
8:14 pm
is rain, but it will avoid a whole outdoor with this rain on united states. and there were reports of secret meeting between uranian and american officials in amman regarding the same matter. and i think that's line will be continue, it's by whoever is replacing, right? you see and you're on and also by the gc and supreme leader, mr month, we appreciate your, your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you very much. i. before we go, here's a quick look at our top story. this, our, the international criminal courts. chief prosecutor says that there are reasonable grounds to believe these really prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and defense minister go on their criminal responsibility for more crimes. the crimes against humanity prosecutor is seeking arrest warrants for both of them in the also applied for the rest words for 3. i'm also leaders with times to the october 7th terror attacks in israel you,
