"as the west israely genocidal war continues to claim civilian lives, the yemani army has continued its please to support the palestinians by targeting israely bound vessels, but the mastermind of the genocidal war in gaza, the us, is reacting by striking yemen's mainland. why does the us target yemen, which is only fighting for the sake of palestinians, calling for an end to this genocidal war, and why would it name yemen's ancerol a terrorist organization? in this edition of the spotlight, we will look at the military aggression by the. and his allies against yemen and how militarizing the red sea as they have done in dangers of the world economy. first let me introduce our guests. of is an activist and political commentator joining us from sona. also joining us dan is author and human rights a lawyer who joins us from pittsburg va. welcome to you both. i'll start with you since you're in. uh let's look

at the latest us aggression and uh if you can tell us what you think about it where you have uh the 14 strikes that the us has uh executed and uh this was a preemptive uh move by the us because it said that there were missiles ready to go by the yemenese, i'm wondering how they would know that and whether that even constitutes a reason to strike another uh country's army uh what is your reaction to the way the us did that and of course how it has been acting against yemen, which is accelerated its strikes against the yemani army, i mean it has been clear that the united states in all attack, the main purpose of those attack is actually to support israel for to continue its unicide and bloccade and the mass killing uh in in gaza and when yemen take these steps, all the international uh community, i mean most of the country has came with the united states because they... want germany not to help the

palestinian, they want the palestinian to stand alone and it was really clearly - when they after they designate the ansarullah as they call the... as a terrorist organization here they were actually really really calm and they said this actually will not make a difference because united states during the nine year of war against jemen which was actually ordered and supported by the united states and uk it hasn't done anything even though when trump has uh put ansarulah dahouti under the so the so-called terrorist list list and today the speech of sayid abdul malik he was really really really clear and he insisted that yemani will continue its attack and sent a clear message, especially uh to britain, which as he mentioned is the one that has actually uh built the zin state before the united state like came into our region and he insisted that the yemani will actually not only continue their attack against israeli linked or israeli or ships

that hidden toward israel, they will target actually ev united state and uk ship, so i mean this is a clear message to the united kingdom, because they already have targeted. us own the ship yesterday and i believe two days ago and i believe that the next step it will be to target this ship belong belonging uh to the united to the united kingdom and he he has said as well that if the united state knew what type of weapons that in the in the latest attack against uh the ship yesterday he said if they knew what type of weapons they will actually know that yemani they have weapons that they don't know and that they are upgrading. in these weapons, thank you for that. um, we're looking at uh the grim milestone that has been passed now, we're looking at about 14 days here, daniel kavalic, i mean it's really uh something else, i don't need to tell you or the viewers maybe, because uh, for what we have seen, this genocide has been unfolding a daily

basis, and the death doll is really shocking, at the same time, we we're looking at the us that has given israel unfittered access to uh military supplies. and my question is, if the us is willing to do that for israel and willing to uh go through the expense of uh striking yemen whose purpose behind the targets of the red sea are israeli bound or linked ships which now the us and the uk are part of that is to stop the genocidal war in gaza. why isn't the us for example focusing on trying to get for example aid into the gaza strip do you think but is willing to go through the military? uh approach to this whole thing? well, it really does show the priorities of the united states, right? i mean, if the if the us really cared about human rights, it would have set up no fly zone over gaza to prevent this genocide, yes, i can hear then clear, this is much, yeah, i

can hear, there is much better, sorry about that, okay, we have you, saying, we can hear you, but daniel cavali, go ahead, sorry about that, daniel, no, that's fine, so uh, as i say, this shows the priority. the united states, right? i mean, if the u.s. cared about human rights, it would have set up no- fly zone over gaza to prevent this genocide. instead, it's been sending 2 thous pound bombs to israel, which they're using to wipe out entire neighborhoods. uh, in gaza, and as you say, um, the us is using its military might to attack yemen. uh, why? because it cares more about shipping lanes and commerce than it does about human lives. that's what there's. saying, i mean, that's, it doesn't matter what biden and blincan and these other folks say what that they care about civilians, you have to look at their actions and their actions are saying, we care about our global dominance in the middle east, and we care about shipping lanes and we don't

really care about civilians, that's exactly what the bied administration is saying through this condo. what do you think about that? hosen, our guest makes the point that their actions speak louder than words. and that what they care about is the global dominance and shipping lanes, do you think it's just it is focused only on that, or maybe as some have said that they have uh gone ahead with their military um action in order to uh divert the attention from the defeat of the uh israeli regime forces on the ground there in the gaza strip. to be honest, to be honest with you that they only care about the shipping lane is because uh, yemen has actually formed the blue cate

against israel, i mean all the other ship they were really safe and at the beginning we remember of the attack yemani army has only attacked israeli ship or israeli linked ship and this is a clear message. that germany doesn't want actually to interrupt the shipping lane, but of course it is the united state present in uh in the red sea is the one that actually uh has brought all the danger. to uh the red sea and to all its shipping because of the present they have uh they have ordered many uh ships or almost all the ship not to reply to yemeny calls or yemeny navy uh request uh for those ship and is under international law if you are in a war against the country which is yemen now they have declared war against uh israel they have a full right to search and to to stop and to search uh any ship even to take any ship and they have the four right - commercial ship to sink that ship if it's not actually replying to the calls from the yemani army, we are at

war and they don't think that yemani will let the red sea to be used to support the giant state of israel in their killing against the palestinian people and as well to be used to have and to target yemani forces and to target yemen that's why sayid abdul malik today has insisted and he said they will not allow any country to have a military present in our region and he sayid that the palestinian have the right, especially now in gaza uh to uh to have a port so they can get their food directly without going through israel and rafah border crossing should be opened and their attack against gazza should stop and they should withdraw as well from gazza and then at that point is up to the palestinian people who can decide what to do next or i mean the resistant in his speech today uh he called uh millions of yemani to take up to the street tomorrow friday in the afternoon and i believe or i have a feeling

there might be an important announcement uh tomorrow uh because said abdul malik today when he spoke he was really calm and he have told the yemeny people not to worry and he said that we we are honored with this designation from the united states because the history of the united states and uk is just a criminal and tyranis and they have actually have done many, many crimes across the world and he said, how come that they are allowed the uk and united states to come 9,000 mile away from uh from palestine to come to support israeli to send them all the money, all the all the weapons, all the munition, all the bombs and then they cry out loud when yemani actually do exactly the same to support the palestinian which he said and described them as they are one of us ' yeah, i mean dankovalik, when when you take a look at the premise of this whole thing, uh, the yaminies have made it clear that uh, they

want to stop, they want to do something to stop this u.s. israely genocidal war, uh, that is definitely what they have stated, and that is something that is the um, the their motive uh, but this is being painted in another way uh, which does distract the world opinion against uh, against yemen, um, and what i want to ask you is, um, the yemen has stepped up to the plate, um, this kind of mirrors... what the r2p is uh the right to protect, where when there's a genocide that happens in another country, although the right to protect uh has been misused by the west, but uh, when you take a look at the actual theory of it, if there's a genocide happening in a country, another country can actually come in to try to prevent this genocide from happening, well it looks like yemen is the only country that's trying to do that, isn't it, and there they have to be punished for it, they have to be militarily attacked and be labeled the terrorist organization. yes, well i totally agree with you, and i want to say this in front of my friend from yemen, that i honor you for what

you're doing. yemen has invoked article one the genocide convention, which specifically says that countries are obligated to do what they need to do to stop and prevent genocide, that's what the genocide convention is about. it's not just document that's supposed to be, read and... to do something to stop what i believe is is the most important moral issue uh since the

holocaust and you people have said if you want to wonder if you wonder what you would be doing as a german during the holocaust now because you're doing it right now all of us have moral obligation to do what we can to stop this genoside yemen is doing that and i applaud them for that uh the um speech made there by abdul malik, as you mentioned is now um makes it sure and clear that the us and the uk are part of... the targets of uh uh the yemani army and we know what happened just days ago uh where you had the us and the uk actually strike uh yemen um not only in terms of the locations of where the military perhaps assets were but towns um inside of yemen but uh the new york times came out and said that they really didn't uh impact the

yemeny military capabilities that 90% of what the yemen has is still there in terms of their military capacity, what are the chances that the us and the uk miscalculated their military adventure against yemen? i mean, sayid abdul malik when he mentioned today about this topic, he said that those attack by united state actually were not obstruct their military uh power because and he remind the united state that they have launched nine. of war uh by the saudi and the united arab emirates, i mean there was more than 25000 air strike and what was the result? yemani army now is the one who is conducting actually attack against israel facing united kingdom and united states in support of palestine forming a blocate against israel as well and he said that this aggression and

this designation if the united states will learn they should actually think that those actually are making the yemani army very very strong and i'm sure that in the coming hours or days we gna see huge attack against the united states and uk uh because first of all in support of palestine and as well to revenge those people who has been killed the united state has targeted uh nine yemen solders in the sea and they killed them as well they have in their attack has killed six uh people uh the first attack against german and there are uh people who were who were killed as well yesterday uh which it has been said that there might be a funeral uh for them uh tomorrow so yemen now is actually is at war against the united states and there is one more thing today in his speech he has mentioned the word jihad more than 20 time like advising people about jihad and

important and if we gonna go to jihad which is the holy fight now when we're gonna go so that's i expect maybe at one point if united state will extend its attack at uh against yemen, we might hear a total mobilization and total call for jihad for all yemenies and at at that point you're going to see that millions of of yemani will join because i don't think of any other enemy uh that is like worst than the united states and the uk that's why i believe yemani tomorrow will go in their millions outside to the street and yemani acts have seen they were so actually happy with the announcement by united state to designate thehi or is not designation of the is actually is designation of yemen because yemen is trying uh to stop the the israeli genocide so like i said they were so happy because they said if what we called the greatest satan which is united state and uk and israel if they said that you are

terrorist and you are their enemy this mean that you are in the right way and one final thing people here are saying the situation is bad, so let's make it in a good cause, let's make it in the cause of helping the palestinian people. take a look at uh the transit route that the bauble bandav has um there in the red sea uh daniel kovalak in terms of the significance uh we're looking at around 6.2 million barrels of oil that travel there daily uh overall we're looking at uh 10% of the world petroleum and 10% of global trade. if the us is really concerned about uh uh this aspect of it, why doesn't it come up with a temporary ceasefire of some kind to help the palestinians to show good faith, to show that hey, this is not just what we care about, um, somehow to meet some of the uh desperation uh of the palestinians, the ones who are in the hospitals and the ones who

need medical attention, um, and also to stop from uh shooting itself in the foot in a sense, because you "if you have energy prices go up, biden said the other day that i'm really worried that those prices are going to go up, you know, so why does it conduct itself that way in the red sea area? well, again, it shows what the us cares about, and i think the us shares israel's genocidal intent. i think the us and israel are concerned if they let up on the gas uh, if they if they let up on this brutal assault on gaza, that gaza will survive." "and they don't want that to happen, they want to push all the gazans out of gaza, and the us cares more about that goal than even about its least." short term economic interest, and that's an incredible fact, mean joe biden is clearly willing sacrifice his entire political career over this, because his poll

numbers are dropping, especially amongst democrats because of this war, most of the democrats, most of his base doesn't support what he's doing, but he's doing it anyway, because it values it, and the fact that israel and the us value this. genicide so much again is very scary to me, it shows something about those two nations that most the world i don't think realized until now you mentioned that he talked about jihad hosen over the 20 times in his speech, i want to ask you what is he implying there, can you elaborate a little bit more on that? can you repeat the question? yes, yeah, you mentioned howthi talked about jihad in his speech uh, hours ago, uh, what, can you elaborate a little bit more about what he meant behind that? uh, i believe he was encouraging people

that this this fight actually is holy fight, i mean, uh, we don't think that yemen uh will at one point have this type of of aggression, especially uh, during the attack. of palestine, this is actually he he meant that all muslim, all arab nation, this is like the the final battle, they should unite now, if we don't unite now, if we don't help the palestinian now, this mean that the united state and uk and israel will focus on palestine and then at the after that they might come to yemen, because they don't accept actually that there is a government in yemen that's actually above united states and as well israel and uk and then they will go to another country one by one. that's why they will try to make us divided and i believe his is it was not a total call of of of jihad but i believe he kind of advised

yemeni people because he does expect that the united states might uh uh try to take major attack against yemen and at that point all yemeni must take up arms and they must go all to fight the united states and uk and all uh all its ally and one final thing. he has as well warned germany not to follow in in the step of united kingdom and as well of united states and he said something uh like that they should actually stay away and watch what's gonna happen to the uk and to and to the united states as well he he had warned italy and any other european country because to be honest with you their shipment now is safe united stateuh ships were only attack after their attack against yemen so if they do the same this mean that the shipping line this country will come as well under attack, who control the land is the one who control the sea? i got about the minute or less, daniel kavalek, the european parliament coming out saying we want a permanent cease

fire in gaza, but the precondition, the military wing of hamas has to get dismantled and all the captives to be released a parliamentarian in the us, so you're giving a green light for israel to continue this, what is your thoughts on that? what are your thoughts on that? well, i think at least it's a positive step forward that they've called for. permanent ceasefire, i certainly support all the release of all hostages, but i also that means israel releasing the thousands of hostages it's holding uh that they call prisoners uh, but in fact their hostages, i would support all of those being released on both sides uh as part of a cease fire. i don't think the demand for hamas and related militants, because there's a number of militant groups fighting, um, i don't think that there. disarming should be a precondition unless the israelis disarm, which of course most people would laugh at, the very idea of that. okay, all right, thank

you very much, daniel, author and human rights lawyer from pit, pleasure, activist and political commentator from sona, thank you to you both, with that we come to an end for this edition of the spotlight from the team, it's goodbye.
