6:02 am
in their extraordinary meeting gaza today and it seems that qatar and egypt the talks aimed at establishing truths are going to bear fruit soon now is that a good own what's in the offing welcome to the spotlight i'm your host to begin with introduce in this episode chairman of the islamic human rights commission in coordinator in south africa
6:03 am
join from cape now, welcome to both the gentlemen, let me begin with masud shajara, masud, iran and few other countries have been of asking for a unified stand and concert action against israeli crimes, the question i want to ask you is, this is what of course some other countries, few countries uh... and they also agree with iran, but what does it take of for this to realize? well, bis, the reality of of is that, it's not just end of atrocities and genicide which international community should speak, but sort of addressing this sort of the largest. that we have really noticed
6:04 am
unleashing in front of our eyes on our television screens and such a brutality needs to be addressed is of course the first thing and the most important thing is end of the this genocide but i think unless address and the sort of those committed this and bring them to some sort of extence then what we are doing we are. not only not addressing the issue right now, but we are legitimizing this sort of behavior which indeed will be totally unacceptable and indeed i think will create problems in the future in the international relations and indeed the the sort of international law and how countries could not be hit, now there are also... talks of uh
6:05 am
trying to take uh the war criminals of the zianist regime to the icc or a court of justice, how would that be possible? iran is supporting this idea s with those to support this, so how could justice be served eventually, one day, is the icc in charge, it has a jurisdiction, but so far it, when you look at the past performance, you don't see much coming out of it, us on your show, indeed, iran, the islam republic of iran uh is supporting the call um to charge the or to take the issue of the criminal regime incorrectly known as of israel to the international criminal courts, we do realize that the islamic republic of iran has consistently since the establishment of the islamic revolution in 1979, supported all means and all avenues to bring about justice to stand against the criminal enterprise, the illegitimate regime and to support the oppressed. people of the world, especially
6:06 am
palestine, as the central cause of the oppressed people, by this, the islam republic has supported the palestinians in terms of aid, politically, in terms of support, in terms of monetary support, logistical support for the resistance in palestine and by all other ways including diplomatic means and on this policy of the islamic republic of iran to support the oppressed people of palestine and easter and way, they are supporting an avenue which is a... was the call to have the icc prosecute the illegitimate regime, however we need to remain uh cognicent of these facts that the illegitimate regime number one has never ever respected international law, they've always been in contravention of united nations resolutions with regards to the palestinian issue and have they shown a blatant contempt for any sort of peace and any sort of restorative justice for the palestinian people. number two. the islam the sinest regime is not a
6:07 am
member of the icc and they have consistently been um fighting against and arguing the jurisdiction of the international criminal court um with regards to the palestinian matter. we also see that the icc has only ever taken up 31 cases of which all of those people that they've attempted to prosecute were from africa and never have they gone after the criminals in the americas in europe and the criminals of the zinas regime. so this is an important call to support and we acknowledge that the islamic republic support all methods to bring about restorative justice for the palestinian people. right. master chazar, let's let's look at it from a broader perspective, the whole uh war, it's an it's it's a 46th day already past in few hours, 47 days, so what has tel aviv achieved out of this? it's a military campaign has failed, hamas has been able to shatter all this, the superficial face of grandure and
6:08 am
so-called invincibility and military prows. it's a campaign of lies also fail, it's losing the trust of the public opinion around the world, people out there on the streets. you know they know what israel is doing to palestinians, they want that to stop, and uh, also the ground invasion, it dragged its feet so much, it threatened, i'll do this, i'll do that, okay, they just embarked in the ground invasion, and again they haven't achieved much, so up to this stage, is this not persay victory for the palestinian resistance fighters, absolutely, i think is that. they haven't achieved anything, if anything what we are very clearly witnessing that israels are exposed once and for all, they're really exposed right across the world and the public
6:09 am
opinion even in united states and europe has turned against them in a way that has never happened before, and i think even internally. the divisions are very clear and indeed they will show themselves even more once the seasfire happens, so and also militarily they have actually lost, because you know the illusion that israel, this occupied regime created was that they're untouchable, that they are number one, intelligent ' sort of operators and so forth, all those illusions are destroyed and they are exposed, they're exposed as a apartite war criminals who are actually getting involved in killing children, storing hospitals, heading un
6:10 am
center, depriving people of water, basic needs, and and this has never happened in the rese years and i think they have lost every level, so really they haven't achieved anything, the victory is with the palestinians and i have to say it's very sad that they have paid such a price for it, but they are victorious morally and indeed other ways, now zeinal abad in the same lines i just want to ask your comment because it's there you know uh lots of to this to what the israeli regime has actually failed to achieve and defeat top of defeat and failure over failure and they've shown their true color like when the minister asked that why not nuke people in gaza and get rid of them all at once so it made other states fear that hey
6:11 am
guys they have their nuclear arsenals that they were they never came clean about so there they proved that they could be a threat to global security internal division and rift is deep. rightly mentioned and intelligence, their intelligence failure actually, beginning of the operation operation, saying i was not informed about this, is that a joke or what, look at the intelligence, and even the eu is now saying, eu that's been backing the tel aviv regime and saying they're doing the self-defense, that's legitimate, now they're saying, okay, he had a trip to five days in west asia region, he was criticized by large. activists he said, now eu, we need to empathize with palestinians and we need to do more, 100%, the military failure as well as the failure in all other fields of the
6:12 am
zionist regime has been exponential in the current 46 day escalated aggression upon the palestinian people, the fact that designers regime were in a position where they thought and presented themselves. to be at the strongest they've ever been, they had the normalization deal in place and they were protected politically with the normalization or the various arab states, they had the either iron dome and other mil um equipment and other military matters in place to protect themselves, they were at the strongest relationship with the biden regime with the biden administration in the united states and the ziners regime were at the most powerful position they thought they could ever been on the 7th of september with the launch of a flood, all security, all measures, all intelligence networks and it be means put in place by the zist regime was completely shuttered because they could not even spreemt the... this military attack that was exercised with precision and excellence
6:13 am
from the palestinian resistance within the concentration camp called the hazar strip. not only that, the fact that they continue to kill more than 13,000 people, bombed, indiscriminately residential areas, hospitals, schools, un buildings, killed more than 5000 children, stopped the basic necessities from reaching the palestinian people or an attempt to reestablish that. for sort of invincibility, it proves their failure, and as the leader of the revolution, imam khamene, just recently said that them going into hospitals, occupying hospitals shows the defeat of the israeli regime, because there can be no military excellence and precision in occupying hospitals that are there to support the innocent people, not only that, the countries around the world are turning against them even if many countries now are repoling the ambassadors temporarily to achieve sease fire, it is showing that the zinis regime exposed themselves to the people
6:14 am
the world, to the governments of the world, and more and more a daily daily basis, people are realizing the genocidal, murderous, illegitimate face of the sionist regime, therefore they've exposed themselves, the resistance of the people of palestine, their resilience and their patience has benefited them, and today they are in a position, which of course shows that they are with the truth and that the enemy is being exposed. now there is also this word around regarding a true that's uh likely around the corner. now palestinans have been saying since weeks ago that we are ready uh for prisoner swap and also and now let's first talk about truths and will come to prisoner swap and this uh egyptian and also katary mediated let's say negotiations they're bearing fruit and that's what the both sides are talking about, so if this truth is established, would that not
6:15 am
mean that palestinians have been able to have their conditions met, and would it not be considered another victory for them? yes, absolutely, i i think mother is what we have seen is been one of the most brutal and deliberate. genocide and to kill as many innocent people, as many sort of children, as many hospitals, as we discuss, and it hasn't had a sort of military objection, objective, we so see that yes, they have committed the genocide, if genocide was the aim of this regime, then they are victorious. because they have actually committed one of the greatest genocide of our time, but if it's
6:16 am
anything else, their security or or any other excuses that they have used, they have failed and they have failed and and they have not achieved even a single one of those goals and as i said they exposes themselves, and not just exposing themselves as gen. the sido uh, but also their supporters, i mean, you know, they drag united states and europe leaders into sort of the same category, they are also as guilty of these genocide as those who committed it, so really, i i think overall is it, tremendous victory, it's overshadowed with the loss of so many laws. which we you know it it affects every single one of us
6:17 am
watching and seeing these destruction of the innocent lives, but nevertheless is victory and is victory for the palestinians and it's a victory for those who support palestinians and it actually shows us that there is no longer the israelis could go and claim the sort of false claim, the lies that they were uh they were using and indeed they are exposed in in a very tremendous way, right? now z'. in south africa hosted this uh bricks summit regarding situation in gaza. iranian president also had his comment and he announced his country's readiness to support the idea of you know uh putting the war criminals of this world regime on trial and there was many other proposals severing ties and and you know what i'm talking about and we have south african president fosa saying
6:18 am
that the root cause of this conflict is actually the illegal occupation so what can be done about this uh basic and the root cause of the problem and what's the path toward resolution of the issue once and for all? yes, the statement by the president of the republic of south africa, presidentosa with regards to the illegitimate regine acknowledging a public platform within the bricks uh that of course the root cause of the issue is the illegal occupation, this is a step in the right direction, this is a good step that it's not. only the same ritoric that is coming from the islamic republic and from countries like syria, but it's coming from a dispensation like south africa, that we need to recognize that the core root cause the issues in the middle east and of this genocide is the fact that there is illegal occupation of palestinian land. now this matter can be taken forward, we need to then
6:19 am
ask if the root cause is the illegal occupation, which part of the occupation is not illegal, and of course the... simple parties, the simple answer is that every part the occupation, every part of the existence the zianist regime is illegal, it is illegal occupation, userpation and a military aggression on the people of palestine. it is therefore the call which is supported by the islamic republic of iran, which is the call to support the resistance of the palestinian people and the resistance of the people of the region, and that is the removal of the illegitimate colonial entity. only once the land is returned to the respect of owners, we are speaking about the 1948 land, where there was no zionus illegitimate entity established themselves incorrectly as a state, only then we can say that the illegal occupation has ended, that the restorative justice is given back to the people, that palestinians of all persuasions are allowed to return to their
6:20 am
land and that the palestinian people themselves without a military occupation or any occupation of any sorts can determine their own future and their own sovereinity and therefore we support the call of the islamic republic of iran to support the resistance and the armed resistance of the palestinian people to fight and to attain their liberation. okay, masud, i want your comments regarding the same question because it's really main question, it's been lingering on for more than seven decades now, the the question is the solution to to this once and for all. some other some countries are saying, president trump push for so-called deal of the century, no regard for palestinians, only one-sided deal palestinans that this is stap in the back, and then we have some other countries still pushing for the so-called two state solution. now tehraan saying that let's hold a referendum, let's have palestinians decide about their own fate, even palestinian expatriates and
6:21 am
diaspora, they should have uh their own actually faite in their hand, so let's have your opinion. on this, mean it's very very clear that the sort of the two stage solution is only illusion to sort of keep alive the illegal occupation and apartite system, both illegal occupation and apartite has got a legal definition under international law, and they both have to be removed. and you can't, you can't sort of remedy apartite and legal occupation by just massaging and trying to reform it, it has to be removed, it was removed in south africa and therefore created an environment where blacks and whites and
6:22 am
others could actually live together and begin sort of a future. it's the same thing here, we have to remove the illegal occupation, we have to remove this apart system, and and then we are beginning to find a solution, the two stage solution has been just the illusion which was deliberately used and abused to expand the the occupation, expand the apart system and expand. this brutal abuse day in, day out against the ordinary palestinians, not just in gaza, but in west bank and everywhere else, so yes, no reform, it has has to be removed, removed and replaced by what the majority people want, so therefore a referendum, that makes so such a common sense
6:23 am
that for anyone who wants to find a solution, all other solutions including or illusion including two state solution is really a excuse for a status co. okay, okay, i appreciate you. contribution masud shajar, chairman of the islamic human rights commission in tehran and zein abidin khaddafi, coordinator of the zaksaki foundation, south africa in cape town, and thank you for watching this episode of the spotlight, i've been your host behruz najafi, i'll see you next time.
