as the west israely genocidal war continues to claim civilian lives. the yemani army has continued its plesh 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 in palestinians? calling for an end to this genocidal war, and why would it name yemen zarola a terrorist organization? in this edition of the spotlight, we will look at the military aggression by the us and its allies against yemen, and how militarizing the red sea, as they have done. and dangers of the

world economy. first let me introduce our guests. listen up with an activist and political commentator joining us from sona. also joining us daniel kovalak is author and human rights a lawyer who joins us from pittsburg pa. welcome to you both hosanity. i'll start with you. since you're in sona 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 it strikes.

against the yemen 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 junicide and bloccade and the mass killing uh in in gaza and when yemen take these steps, all the international 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 uh the ansarulah as they called the hoti as a terrorist organization here they were actually really of 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 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 of clear and he insisted that yemani will continue its attack and he has sent a clear message especially uh to britain which as he mentioned is the one that has actually uh built the zionit state uh 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 even united state and uk ship so i mean this is a clear message to the united kingdom because they already have targeted to uh us own the ship yesterday and i believe two days ago and i believe that "the next step it will be to target uh this ship belong belonging uh to the united to the united kingdom and 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 uh these weapons thank you for that um we're looking at ' the grim milestone that has been passed now, we're looking at about 104 days here, daniel kovalic, 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 um 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 slee or 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 if the us really cared about human rights, it would have set up no fly zone over gaza to prevent this, yes, i can hear you and clear, this is much, yeah, i can hear, this is much better, sorry about that, okay, we have you, we can hear you, but dan go ahead, sorry about that, daniel, no, that's fine, so, as i say, this shows the priorities of the united states, right, i mean, if the us cared about human rights, it would have set up. no fly zone over gaza to prevent this genocide, instead it's been sending 200 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 they're 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? hossen, our guess 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 israeli regime forces on the ground there in the gaza strap. to be honest, to be honest with you

that uh they only care about the shipin lane is because uh yemani 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 yermany doesn't want actually to interrupt the shipping lane, but of course it is the united state present 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 yemani calls or yemeny navy uh request uh for those ship and is under international law, if you are in a war against a country which is yemen now they have declared war against uh israel they have a for right to search and to to stop and to

search uh any ship even to take any ship and they have the full right if it's a commercial ship to sink that chip if it's not actually replying to the calls from the yemani army we are. 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. yemeni forces and to target yemen, that's why said 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 rafa border crossing should be opened and their attack against stop and they should withdraw as well. from gaza and then at this 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 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 yemen 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 tiranis 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 900 mile away from uh from palestine to come to support israeli to send them all the money, all the all the weapons, all the municia, 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. um yeah, i mean dankvalik, when when you take a look at the premise of this whole thing uh the yemanis have made it clear that uh they want to stop, they want to do something to stop this u.s. isrely 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 you know 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 uh 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 the 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 uh, and i want to say this in front of my friend from yemen, that i honor you for what you're doing. um, yemen has invoked article one of 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 uh uh that's supposed to be you know read and fetishized, it's it calls for action, and as you say yemen is the only country in the world that is stepped up in this kind of way to stop this genocide. i think yemen in fact should get the nobel peace prize for what it's doing uh and maybe share it with south africa who's also doing in. double work at the international court of justice to stop the genocide, those are the only two countries i see really uh, as you

say, stepping up to the plate to do something, to stop what i believe is is the most important moral issue since the holocaust, and you know as people have said, if you want to wonder, if you wonder what you would be doing as a german during the holocaust, you know now, because you're doing it right now, "all of us have moral obligation to do what we can to stop this genocide. yemen is doing that, and i applaud them for that. uh, the speech made there by abdul malik al-huthi, hussin, as you mentioned, is now um makes it sure and clear that the us and the uk are part of now the targets of uh uh the yemeni army. um, 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 inside of yemen, but uh the new york times came out and said that they really didn't uh impact the yemen military capabilities that 90% of what the yemen has is still there in terms of their military capacity uh what are the chances that the us and the uk um miscalculate? their military adventure against yemen, mean abdul malik when he mentioned today about this topic, he said that those attack by united states actually would not obstruct their military uh power because and he remind the united states that they have launched nine years of war uh by the saudi and the united arab emirates, i mean there was more than 250,00 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're going to 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, 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 people uh in the first attack against jeman and there are people who were who were killed as well yesterday which it has been said that there might be a funeral uh for them 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 times like advising people about jihad and it's important and if we gna go to jihad which is the holy fight now when we're gonna go so that's why 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 yemanis 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 uh worst than the united states and the uk, that's why i believe germany tomorrow will go in their millions outside to the street and yemy actually have seen, they were so actually happy with the announcement by united state to designate the holy or is not designation of the is actually is designation of yemen because yemen is trying 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 say 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 a good cause, let's make it in the cause of helping the palestinian people. taking a look at uh the transit route that the boble bandum has um there in the red sea, daniel kavalic 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 you know this is not just what we care about um somehow to meet

some of the desperation uh of the palestinian. "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 know 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, 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 genocide on 10, 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 u.s. cares more about that goal than even about its short-term economic interest,

and that's an incredible fact. i mean, joe biden is clearly willing to... sacrifice his entire political career over this, because his poll numbers are dropping, especially amongst democrats because of this war, most the democrats, most of his base doesn't support what he's doing, but he's doing it anyway, because it he values it, and the fact that israel and the us value this genocide 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 over the 20 times and 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? yeah, you mentioned howthi talked about jihad in his speech hours ago, what can you elaborate a little bit more about what he meant behind that? i believe you 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 uh 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 states 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 about 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 is 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 state 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 state and uk and all 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 going to happen to the uk and to and to the united states as well he had warned italy and any other european country because buse to be honest with you, their shipment now is safe, united state ships were only attack after their attack against yemen, so if they do the same, this mean that the shipping line of 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 kovalek, 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, parlimentarian in the us, so you give me 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 a 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 that they call prisoners, but in fact their hostages. i would support all of those being released on both sides uh... is 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. i don't think that their 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 pittsburg. p pleasure, activist and political commentator from sona. thank you to you both. with that we come. an end for this edition of the spotlight from the team, it's goodbye.

she's going to get hit by a car. if you

really care about the lives. فنحن اطفال غزه اغلب المجازر التي شنت فينا هي من من الطائرات الامريكيه الغداره امريكا قبل الحروب التي قد مضت كانت تدعم اسرائيل بالسر لكن اليوم دعمت اسرائيل بالعلن امام امام مراه العالم كله وفي ام عينينا راينا البضائع والذخائر الامريكيه وهي تدخل الى اسرائيل والطائرات الغداره الحربيه الامريكيه. uh, even

my friends are getting killed, my colleagues by this real incubation, we're still doing the the daily missions to survive, filling the the water containers with water so we can survive, and as you can... see behind the army is flashes, the gumfire, the heavy machine guns and the snipers, small flames in the sky, oh my god, but you will survive.

when palestinian journalist shirin abu aghale was killed by nisvd sniper on may 11, 2022, the israelis meant to get across a clear message that they don't want any narrative other than their own under decades old occupation of palestinian lands and their aggression. "it wasn't the first time israeli sought to put gag on the alternative narrative, and every time it has failed. watch the history of the israeli measures and palestinian counter measures in this documentary."

the headlines on press tv, the yemeny army says it has targeted another american ship in the gulf of aden with appropriate naval missiles and support of the people of gaza. the iraqi prime minister once again calls for the withdrawal of us forces from the country saying, " it is crucial for iraq security and stability and the un rights expert slams israel's measures in gaza as violation of international law describing them as highly illegal and highly unlawful.
