responsibility. hello and welcome to press tv spotlight. i'm maharashimiy. thanks so much for being with us. now the palestinian people will be victorious ultimately, and the occupied israeli entity will be eradicated. now this is according to the leader of the islamic revolution, ayatollah sayid ali khamenei, in of a public address on saturday, he added that the people of gaza and its fighters are standing like rock in the face of the

unprecedented brutal war and that the brutality that has been taking place in gaza over the last two months has been of unprecedented in recent history, one, the level of violence by the occupation regime, and two, the level of fighting and success of the resistance, and today a conference here in tehran, former iraqi prime minister adel abdul mahdi has praised resistance and also took it back to the roots of resistance icons, he called. them general and assassination oftenant general sulaymani and they the all people do touch upon their critical role and influential role in boosting the might of the resistance front. of

to attain today's achievements. i like to welcome my guest now to the program author and west asia expert out of belfast and sakina.2, journalist, author and producer out of london, thank you both for being with me, let me start it off in belfast and sab, sab, i want to start off with the statement made by the former iraqi prime minister adil abdul mahdi, um, your thoughts on what he said about the resistance icons, um, when he said that it was uh, thanking general qasim sulaymani and abu mahdi muhandis for what they created, and this has helped the resistance in palestine today. indeed, you

see we can witness today the resilience and of the palestinian resistance in the gaza, especially the north and khannus and this sit fastness and resilience, they causing the zianist entity huge losses, according to the spokesman of qassami brigade couple of days ago, he is 720 tank and "the personal careers were destroyed, that's from al qassam brigade, imagine the other as well factions of the islamic jihad or the fatah or the pflp who's fighting in the ground, so you you talking about nearly 1200 or more, this is huge number, and you can witness as well the withdrawal of the elitest units like the golani, which declared the lost 40% of its capacity. in gaza as well the parachutes

unit, this all of that, the strength of the resistant under the ground and in the ground is came from the engineered support which was pioneered by left qasim sulaymani and abu mahdi muhandis, they were partner of this resistance arc in that area which they knew who they are very well who they are facing, of not just the zinist entity. "they know the head of the snake is the united states of america and it germany and the zianist entity is a tool, a fighting tool to keep the hegemany in the region, and the united states of america lost a huge part of its hegemman in the area since the islamic revolution of 1979, which the general sulaimani and abu mahad muhandis and the other acts of the..."

resistance were developing the capabilities of the of the resistant come in the area, the people in the area to stand against the united states of america and his tools, which proven today. in palestine, in north lebanon, in yemen, in in part of iraq and in syria, they are effective and directing massive applause to these entities. well, sakina, i says he hopes that the young people will be around for the eradication of the israeli entity. do you see this as the beginning of the end to the zionist regime? most definitely, i think it is amazing really how young people. have so clearly understood what is going on and what is right and what is wrong and actually if you think about it it's not that surprising and this is because this is a generation that has known social media as their main source of news and information really so what happened with i think our

generation is we were dependent a lot on the lot on the mainstream media and as we know western mainstream media in particular has been feeding us you know a diet of complete hypocrisy all along the time, but the young people, they do not depend on these media channels and they therefore i think when we talk about gaza, you cannot not mention the heroes who are the journalists in in gaza, and honestly lots of them have lost their lives, but the amount of truth that we have come to know from them, and this is what the young people are following, so obviously when when i "i listen to analysis here in the uk on mainstream radio channel for example, it is really surprising, because at one point when you could not speak a word against israel or show any kind of support for palestine, people are calling, lot of these are young people calling in their scores, and

they do not means their their words at all, they are in support of palestine, and that's because they are watching a genocide happening right in front of their eyes, so they..." no, they know what is the truth and what is not, so yes, i very much believe that this is the beginning of the end of the zionist entity. okay, well sab, you heard what sakina said and talking about um this new form of journalism basically on social media, so at the same time that we have more and more people following these independent journalists and why doesn't the israely entity care about the extent of its brutalities which are being shown in real time to the world. to follow up from what sakina said, the united states of america's defense secretary said in a statement couple of days ago, for the sake of tactical winning, the isiness entity, which is israel is losing strategically nearly, i'm i'm not

100% quoting, but that is the bulk of what he said, and another one which is brisinsky used to be the us grand strategic thinker. the former nsa during the carter era, he warned of a strategic geopolitical disaster to the united states of america, that he said, i will bit on it, israel won't survive more than 10, five to 10 years, lot of people coming to that conclusion from military big figures in the united states of america and western leaders as well and thinkers, because the what is designing? entity is doing is as sakina said it's genocide on live tv and what is the media in here? i'll give you two things: first of all, open democracy today published a paper which was investigating

what the bbc in the last 10 years how's dealing with the palestinian issue or the design is that investigation happened in the bbc because "the israeli and the jewish luby in in uk were claiming that the bbc is not coming very hard on the palestinians and not calling hamas is terrorist so it's not supporting israelies from the research came up for how how how hugely is the bbc is trying to change the narrative is in advance and to be advantageous to the signs entity." as well we heard of the investigation in in meta which is on facebook and instagram and other social media tools, how they dealing with the palestinians and how they are

destroying some of the post, deleting some of the posts without even informing, the and they and they said to to save their skin from this, this is... auto mechanize stuff happening, it's a mistake on the on the side of algorithm which is developing and they try to do their best not to be not harsh, this is part. the tany in the west, this the western civilization we see it in front of all our own eyes collapsing all the big slogans about the universal human rights and declaration human rights and all all of the humanitarian things are are false and they are showing their real faces in defending of genocidal entity just saving the their interest and and there to keep making a profit out of the area but so what about that? i mean, what this this whole situation we look at the genocide and the reaction towards it? i mean, what

does it say about the whole rules-based system um that have been sitting back basically letting this happen, actually participating in it, um, for more than two and a half months now, is this the beginning the end to that regime to the um the rules based system? i would love to be optimistic. say yes, but i'm not really sure, i mean, it's it is fact that the world now has realized, i think you now, there are so many people who it is surprising when we speak to them, so many people were sleeping in terms of people were so absorbed in their day to day lives that they do not think about this bigger picture of you know what is going on in the world, who is controlling us, why is there justice, justice in some parts of the world, why not the others? here in the west, people never thought about the facts like, why do we have the freedom of speech here and

the same is not accorded elsewhere? so in some manners, yes, what what has happened since october 7th has really opened up the eyes of lot of people, and there are questions, everybody now, i know is watching this genocide and feeling extremely uncomfortable, but the truth is there, none them are able to do anything, and this idea... that none of us can do anything because the power is so concentrated in the very very few around the world that the whole united nation can sit there and come up with with the resolution after resolution to try and create sease fire and one united state can can keep on vitoing and what are they vitoing? they are vetoing sease fire for people dying it does not matter what you think of what but the fact that you there is this? yes, i think that there is lot of questions that are being asked now, however,

how far and how soon this hegemony will be broken, i'm not that optimistic. okay, well so, iran's president ibrahim raisi addressing the tehen international conference on palestine on saturday, has said that the united states and israel must be prosecuted for these crimes, your thoughts on this, and do you think that this will happen, you see when we see the united states of america v to the russian attempt to amend the draft resolution, this is discussed and even when mr. guteresh, the secretary general united nations, he stressed after the adoption of that water down resolution that israel attacks, he said constitutes the main obstacle to arrival of aid, and that... means without you see fire, the united states of america itself is participating in in

genocide, the veto itself is arming the zist entity with all what is need, since even the the united states of america added, the russian describe it as very dangerous point, which is creating call the creating the necessary conditions for sustainable sessation of hostilities, what that means? "this is very dangerous phrase in here, it means given the necessary conditions and times to the sist entity to eliminate the palestinan resistant, to help them in in achieving the goals, we we know what is the goals of designist entity intending from the beginning, they they wanted to cleanse the people of the off the gaza strip and to install in what left of gaza strip somebody to to to run the gaza strip for" them as a buffer zone on behalf of the zinis entity which empted of most of its population, this

is this is where the participation of the united states of america in genocide, in ethnic cleansing, in supplying and aiding the zinis entity to kill innocent people daily, every minute that was the delay of that voting for that resolution from monday till till thursday, so many people being killed. during that day and the united states of america knows that the arrogance of of committing genocide in here is beyond belief somebody vetoing vetoing resolution to stop genocide is unheard of ever in history, this is to tell us the united states of america is is a super power who is committing genocide and nobody is trying to stop it, so there is have to be mechanism put in a place today in in in western countries, in middle eastern countries, in asia, in africa, to create new

world order to bring the united states of america and its siness entity and everybody who support that kind of line uh to account and to stop of them misbehaving in that way and and and committing atrocities in unbelievable scales if we doesn't interfere right now in a couple of weeks time if the palestinian resistance got weakened that strong we won't know what's going to happen to the palestinian people with the gaza strip so acts we have to act right now well so what about that? now so i've talked about new world order and we've seen the united nations security council um failing to bring an end to this genocide uh today iran hosts the tehran international conference is this another sign that alternative options must be created to help so solve these global issues and is this conference the beginning of another sign of the transition from this

unipolar world to a multiolar world uh the fact that you united nations has failed is is absolutely obvious and yes we definitely need to look an alternative, you know, another entity taking over, because obviously the united nations has got absolutely not teeth to bite. in terms of, yes, i, i think i think without any doubt iran is the most vocal supporter of palestine and that has been the case for ages and so we have seen a leadership from tehran and this is obviously. amazing to see this this conference happening, however, um, iran cannot do change the atmosphere on their own, we have seen silence from most of the muslim and arab countries, and this really is, i don't know how we can progress and go further, let me just jump in here, sakina, why is that the case, you talked about silence from most of

these muslim countries, why is that the case in your perspective? so i think there are two reasons, number one, i think is the fact that... "most of the leadership in this countries are pupets of of the west, they have been put in place over there and they just do the bidding of the west for them, but also i think there is internal issues and they have been convinced that there is a fight within the muslim countries for for you know power and therefore for example i think a lot of these muslim countries fear iran rather than thinking that you know we should be working together and this this is an..." issue of muslim and arabs and that we should be working together, they fear, they fear iran because of the sectarian reasons or for power control within the middle east, so really the house is not in order for us to talk about having an alternative platform, where is this platform coming from? china, for example, in my view have really let down, i mean initially when this war started, we

were looking towards china for them to make some strong statements in support of palestine, but there has not been much, the the hegemony, breaking the hegemony and having another route was looking up to russia, iran, looking up to china, and we have not seen really other than tehran, we have not seen any strong statements coming from anyone, so how are we going to break this hegemony, i don't know, it doesn't look that promising to me, okay, and so your your take on that, i mean sakina talked about china and... russia and other countries, but getting back to the muslim countries, um, who one would think that that would be special responsibility? do you see the situation changing um, because can we count, you think on muslim countries perhaps putting more pressure uh on this regime, or is the

ultimate victory basically just in the hands the resistance? let's uh break it down this way, the... palestinian they called the their revolution now is the flood of ala, it's in defending of the holy site, islamic holy site, al aqsa, which is the the first qibla in islam, if this is not important to muslims, i don't know what is important, this is what the palestinian people in gaza see, they have to do to stop the discration of aqsa and the zionist entity, it thugs, it's military how... they they mistreated the people in whose brain in there and how discated this holy site. the other thing is about iran and the islamic world. iran came on the back of an islamic... revolution, it's one of the major inter international revolutions like the russian or the french revolution, that's that's how it's important in history, the iranian revolution, and it

changed the hegemony and the balance of power in the region after especially egypt, revolutionary egypt fail to the united states of america's hands when sadat became allied to the the zenus entity and the united states of america, so iran. tilted the balance, iran used to be the cup, the united states of america's policeman in the area, they lost that, they lost the oil, they lost the hegemany, at that time to the muslim world, it seems iran wasn't, it doesn't scare them, but today when when iran speaks on behalf of its own people, not as a mouth piece for the united states of america, scares them, this is the and since i agree with sakina, most of the of the arabic in the leading the arabic regimes after the arabic spring became popets the united states of america, most of them and they they they they are depleted from

strength and from resources and they do whatever is been asked of them just to to please the united states of america and we seen in that is the wave after the deal of the century of trump to normalize relationship between muslims and arabs with entity, only the palestinian revolution and resistant during from the 7th of october is stop that and reverse the whole train okay and on that note so sorry to interrupt you sub but we're out of time appreciate you being with the sab chef out in west asia expert out of belfast and sakina dato journalist author and producer out of london and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight and signing out for myself and other group right here in tehran hope to see you right here next time.

your headlines on press tv: ivan's leader slams the us for shamelessly vetoing a un resolution on the gaza ceizfire and says the us, the uk and the israel regime are the same, the number of lost palestinin lives is now nearly 20,300 as the israeli onslaught on gaza approaches its 80th day, and the senior hamas official vows, the movement will not allow israel to achieve any of his goals in gaza, calling threats to eliminate the palestinian resistance, empty.
