now entering its uh fourth day, we're looking at uh. of

welcome to spotlight: 35 days and counting since israel unleashed its onslot on the gaza strip, hospitals and civilian infrastructure remained the prime target of the regime's relentless air attacks. in its latest strikes, israel targeted the al-shifa medical complex in gaza city, killing 13 people. the total death tool has already surpassed 11,000 with many more still unaccounted for. meanwhile the world food pro program has raised the alarm about the dire humanitarian situation in the ghaza strip saying all of gaza's 2.3 million palestinian inhabitants lack sufficient food and face malnutrition. joining us on tonight spotlight we have spokesperson of the massarbad movement barat is joining us from vancouver and activist in political commentator host. joining us from

them capital sana. well gentlemen, welcome to the program. before we kick off the discussion, um, let's watch the un human rights chief who has held a press conference on the situation uh in gaza in jordan's capital almon. volker turk has called for an immediate humanitarian assistance to gaza. sampa hospitals including alk. and al-shifa hospitals have also received specific evacuation orders in addition to the general evacuation orders to all of northern residence of gaza, but such evacuation, as the world health organization has warned, is death sentence in a context where the entire medical system is collapsing, and hospitals in southern gaza have no capacity to absorb more patients, demands for civilians relocate

to an idf designated so-called safe zone, are also very alarming. a so-called safe zone when established unilaterally can heighten risk. to civilians and raises real questions as to whether security can be guaranteed in practice. at the moment, nowhere in gaza is safe, as bombardments are being reported in all parts of the strip, stop the violence, guarantee the safety of humanitarian workers, provide safe access to ensure that assistance, humanitarian assistance can be delivered to all those in need, make sure that people have enough eat, clean water, to drink, medical care and shelter, the solution to this situation is the end of the occupation and full respect for the right to self-determination for palestinians. as i have said time and again, for the violence to

end, the occupation needs to end. un human rights chief volker turk there uh in a press conference in the jordan, jordanian capital aman, let's bring in our guests now, welcome to the program to the both of you, let's start off with mr. barracot in vancouver, uh, sir, what do you make of uh of the uh international response to the uh gaza massacre that has uh taken place, the death toll has now soored to 11,000, many are still unaccounted for, most of those killed. are women and children and how many more palestinians have to die before a seas fire is implemented? yes, salam alaikum to you and to your guest and viewers, i think that the international community has failed palestine

many, many times, this is not the first time, and when we refer to the international community, let's be clear here, we are talking about those power in the world that are blocking any kind of real assistant to the palestinian people, and these are not assistance, these are rights for palestinian people, when we talk about medicine, when we talk about food and water and electricity, they're not doing you know our people a favor when they do that, these are rights and they're preventing that and they're using it as a weapon and israel and the united states is doing so publicly, in fact when israel, you know, declare its war against the palestinians in gazza, they said that explicitly, and no one have commented, you

know, about this, not in washington or london, paris, berlin, they in fact they gave them a green light, and they were justifying these is. israeli statements, for example, the so-called defense minister in israel said that they are going to cut water, electricity, they are going to bomb hospitals and everywhere in the ghaza strip, they said that and and they're doing that for the past you know 35 days and the united nation until now are failing even tell israel to stub its genocide and - cleansing against the palestinian people, and the reason also for that is the utter uh silence that we see from the arab regimes, particularly the egyptian regime that controls rafah crossing, egypt is failing in in its even international um, you

know responsibility, let alone you know that they are supposed to be brothers and sisters. with the palestinian people, but even from an international perspective, the the egyptian regime is complicit in these crimes against the palestinian people, and it's really important to highlight that you know all of the arguments the the israelis are trying to fabricate and mark to the world that they are bombing hospitals because they think that the resistance have you know sides under... the these hospitals, this is complete and other lies, but they also against all international law, even if there is palestinian resistance top of these hospitals, publicly, israel have no right to bomb these hospitals, so let

alone that the real actual picture is that they're killing people, and you know by all accounts all these marters and injured. people are children and patients, today they bomb the intensive care unit in the jerusalem hospital for example, killing people, how do people are? where people are going to go when they are an intensive care unit, they're already being treated in hospital and then they're being bombed again, but this has a political objective and what israel wants is to in people that you have no to go, we are going to destroy your homes, we are going to prevent you from getting any medicine and you are going to face death and the only way for you is to uh leave uh... gazza and become a refugee, as some of the israeli ministers

publicly said, they can go and live in the desert, and that basically is what ethnic cleansing and genocide looks like since 1948 until today, this is not the first time israel is doing what it's doing, but this is the first, but this is the first time that israel is doing it while defeated, because we know that no matter how many people israel is going to kill, that's not going to... change the equation that israel is just making sure that it's telling the entire world that they are just a sinist regime who knows nothing but committing crimes against the palestinian people our resistance in ghaza is very strong sure and it's going to be victorious in the yemani capital sana the humanitarian crisis in ghaza is uh getting worse by the second it was already considered to be the world's open air prison where the 2.3 million people are now facing, all of them are facing

malnutrition amit israel's devastating siege and attacks, hospitals are being targeted, refugee camps are being targeted, schools and un facilities, there's no safe shelter for civilians, yet the international community still remains silent, when is it the right, when is the right time for the international community to act? uh, i mean, i think we have heard this statement from the united nation in so many conflict, but at the end they haven't got anything that they can do, the so-called international community is actually controlled by the security council and we know that they are controlled by united states, uk and other country who is actually who are actually supporting fully supporting this war, they even send their battleships and war plane and supplies. to israel, just imagine israel, they used to call it the most powerful army in in in the middle east and at

the end by fighting hamas, he he needed all that help that comes from this country, but to be honest with you, at this time the statement that comes as an example from the un security general and as well from some humanitarian aid in in gaza, it's still okay because they still say clear. what the palestinian need, but is somebody gna listen to them, i i don't think so, because as long as the united state and uk is fully behind this war, we've seen what israel is doing, on the top of having one of the the largest open prison with blocaid with no electricity, no water, no food or medical supplies, we've seen that israel as well, has surrounded gazza city, northern of ghaza strip, they ev when they said south of gazza or south of wadi gazza is safe for people who go there,

but we seen today that they have targeted civilians and displaced the palestinian who were living with their children uh from uh north of gaza to the south, they have targeted many area in south of gaza, that's why i believe that israel main goal is is actually what is the what they are doing is genocide is ethnic cleansing and they are not a shame. uh to say so, they said that they want to clear all of gazza, i mean they have been carpet bombing the entire of gaza, i mean of course if you is easy to kill, but can they succeeded, i think that palestinian and many uh people around the world, they are waiting what will the international, not the international community, the arab summit that will be held tomorrow, they should actually take a clear stamp, because if especially the axis of resistance, if they uh will uh let

israel uh like you know attack gazza, destroy gazza and as well destroy the resistance in gaza, the next will be hizbollah and then after that will be syria, but we've seen that there are many attacks coming from hizbollah and as well from yemen, syria should actually take a huge step, because they have been been targeted by the israeli from the beginning of the chayos and the... attack on on on syria and as you mentioned that israel actually what what their main now main target is to to destroy all infrastructure to cut the power they have cut the internet they have cut as well mobile services, targeting hospital, targeting as well schools, because they they because the palestinian they do want to leave, because they don't feel safe either in north or in the south, what the israeli has done, they start to target hospital or around the hospitals to surround hospitals, because they know that if there is no public services, health services, this will force

the palestinian people to leave, but they actually didn't, mean they must know there is israel that the palestinian resistant, i mean they will continue the fight till their last man, i mean they know that if they let israel do so israel is doing exactly the same thing, maybe less in in west bank, more than 150 civilians has been killed, i mean mahmoud abbas has recognized the state of israel, but at the end we've seen that is not about hamas, israel doesn't want anyone to resist or anyone who refuse to submit to the israeli occupation. the uh hamas officials who held a press conference in the lebanese capital beirout they've called on um arab and muslim states to take practical action against uh israel uh they've asked these arab countries to cut ties with israel and those countries uh um who uh had normalization deals to scrap

those deals stop normalization uh with the israeli regime why aren't... we seeing that type of collective action from these arab governments and how important and how sufficient can it be in uh opposing uh the the israelis rattling basically israelis to get them to stop this massacre on ghaza? well, i think that the press conference of our brothers and hamas calling for arab regimes to take actual and practical. steps, they understand that this is call by all palestinians, the problem is that we also know that the arab regimes have no, strength nor the desire or the will to do so, because most of the arab regimes are complicit in

this, in these you know war crimes, i give you couple of examples, for example. the arab gulf with all the oil they have, they cannot even force israel to accept opening the rafah crossing to give palistinians in ghaza strip their needs of fuel, and yes, there are all kind of economic deals happening between some these regimes, at the same time we see... that arabs, through experience, the arab regimes does not represent the arab people, so we know that for example, in bahrain, is a regime that normalizes relationship with the zionist regime, but the vast majority of the people of bahrain are against these kind of normalization, and this is true in the case

of all arabs and you know from from oman. and to morocco, but the the issue is also here is very important to understand is some of these arab regimes starting to see their faith is very much connected to israel faith, they feel that if israel loses that they lose, if israel disappear, they will disappear, and so they're acting according to their own interest, let's remember that some of these arab regimes are... have actually carried all kinds of massacres against the palestinian people in jordan, the jordanian regime did that, you know, and in in many of these arab brutal regimes who carried all kinds of atrocities against palestinians, because they always feel that the palestinian cause and

the palestinian resistance is a burden on them and it's a problem. that needs to be removed, publicly they will say, you know, they will recite few, few quranic verses and they will say that they will support the their palestinians, arab, brothers and sisters, but in real way, in in on the ground they are actually hoping and waiting for the palestinian resistance to be defeated, just like they did in 200. 6 when they actually were telling you then to continue bombing lebanon because they did not want to see hizballah coming out victorious from the 2006 at the same time the arab regimes have conflicted all kind of committed all kind of atrocities against our people in yemen, you

know, in 2015 they wished a war against yemen, and some of these not just the the arab regimes and the arab league this war publicly, including the so-called palestinian representatives then who stood ch lessly in cairo and support the saudi war and the united arab emirates war against people in yemen and we saw the results of that war, you know genocide and war crimes against our people in yemen, but at the end we also saw defeated regimes and yemen, came out victorious from this battle, and now yamen not just... only rebuilding itself, but also contributing to the palestinian, you know, struggle, not just through words, but through

actual help and assistant to the palestinian struggle, so we have no faith in these arab regimes, we don't expect anything from them, but at the same time we the resistants have no choice but to call on everybody to take on on their responsibilities. and san are the resistance forces inside gaza repelling uh israeli attacks, they've been destroying uh the regime's tanks and armored vehicles, talked us about uh the capacity and the capabilities of the resistance forces and parallel to that, not just the resistance forces and the resistance front inside gaza, but also uh the resistance front in the region, for example uh the yemeny armed forces, they've just recently found an mq99 us drone that was hovering uh close to a yeeme territory uh talk to us about the significance uh of that incident as well? i

mean uh at first we've seen that the resistant in gaza i mean still launching missile against israel so even though israel now is have a blocade on gaza city still they couldn't stop the attack. from uh gaza, i mean many missiles have landed today in tel aviv and they have been targeting exactly as the same at the beginning and i believe that the resistant when they did their operation the so-called tufansa, they did it and they know the consequences because i mean they know they are dealing with, they are dealing with one of the most bloodiest army, one of the most army that has, i mean conducted a war crime, that's why i believe that they they are. well prepared for a long war, it could take month, two months, three months and what's actually will weaken israel is, if the war uh will take longer time, because we know that israel in all its war, either with

hizbollah or with egypt, it took one month, two months and that's it, they they are not actually ready for a long-term war, that's why and i believe that still hamas and other resistant group in gaza, they still have uh new attack against israel, but because they know that this war might take long. they are actually using what can actually uh defeat israeli if like slowly and on the other hand we see as well that the resistant like in in lebanon and in yemen israel shouldn't think that those attack from yemen or attack from hizbollah that it will be the same i mean yemen has still many options for israel and as well hizbullah but i believe that those two country like. and yemen, they should extend their attacks soon, because the sooner they attack israel, the more target, the they reach inside the design state of israel, this

mean that they can end the war faster, they could actually save more life, and i would just want to add one last thing, what add insult injury is egypt, of course egypt have security agreement with israel, they are in control of rafah, but in that security is only they are not allowed to... to to to let weapons come from egypt to gazza, mean what about foods i mean egypt should actually reopen the rafa port because of broading and they should even by force let food and medicine and fuel goes into into ghaza because now egypt is is a part of this blocade, that's why i believe they should take serious step very very soon. all right, thanks lot gentlemen. joining us from van. joining us from the capital sana and a special thanks to you our viewers for staying with us on tonight's spotlight, it's goodnight for now and see you next time.
