tv   Mideastream Ceasefire Talks Falter  PRESSTV  March 13, 2024 11:02pm-11:31pm IRST

11:02 pm
it is evident that the ceasefire negotiations have entered a state of deadlock with conflicting paths toward collapse. palestinian sources confirmed that the stumbling of the negotiations essentially began with the retreat of the four parties that prepared the paris paper, namely the united states of america, egypt, qatar, and sinus israel at the end of last january from the provisions of the paper. will the faltering of cease fire agreements in cairo and the escalation of the israeli entity threats to expand ground operations towards the city of rafah, the last area in southern gaza that has yet to be entered by occupation tanks, the resistance has once again brought the fight back to the initial point, the city of baithan in the northern most part of the gaza strip. while the israeli occupation arm assumed that the northern part of the strip was no longer part of the confrontation since
11:03 pm
the major ground operations ended there two months ago, the al-qassam brigades managed to carry out qualitative operations. a drone belonging to the resistance dropped two bombs in the midst of the gathering of soldiers at the infiltration point north of bait hanonon. similarly, the military media of the alqassam brigades distributed a video clip documenting a sniper operation targeting one of the enemy soldiers in the same axis. meanwile, the al-aqsa martter's brigades announced that its fighters carried out artillery. fortification operations using mortor shells, targeting enemy troops, gatherings and vehicles in the combat access in bet han as well. the military spokesperson of the al-qassam brigades abu ubaidah appeared friday march 8 evening, delivering several important messages. firstly, he stated that the october 7th operation was motivated by the obstruction of the most extremist and nazi-like projects in the history of the occupations entities governments, notably those related to temporal and special division plans for the al-aqsa m. as a
11:04 pm
prelute to its confiscation. the second indication he mentioned was the enemy soldiers, both captives and those remaining are suffering from starvation, similar to our people in palestine as a result of the ongoing israeli siege. furthermore, abu ubaidah's speech conveyed a message that the resistance still controls the elements of the battlefield. it can be said that the integrity of the resistance is media apparatus represented by the epidence of abu ubaidah as one of its icons signifies that the rest of the field arms are still intact. additionally, abu ubaidah outlined three conditions for accepting any exchange deal and cease fire: the withdrawal of the enemy's occupation army from the gaza strip, freedom of movement for residents from north to south, and relief efforts coinciding with reconstruction. abu ubaida's speech, which came days before the beginning of the holy month of ramadan is now being interpreted as an indication of the resistance's determination escalate the intensity of field pressure from all external and internal fronts, notably the west bank and the occupied territories. welcome to the meast
11:05 pm
stream, i'm mathman. with the return of hamas delegation from cairo following the failure of the latest round of negotiations on cease fire and prisoner exchange between it and the occupation state, palestinian sources confirmed that what is proposed now does not meet the minimum. demands of the resistance or the needs of the gaza ship for that matter, and that the resistance factions that authorized hamas to take the appropriate stands had agreed with the leadership of the movement on the necessity of returning everyone to the first paris paper. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is professor of political sociology at the lebanese university, dr. hasen rahal. it's a pleasure having you with us. dr. rahal, now according to the information from cairo, the meetings of the new round which were expected to be held this past saturday. the participation of
11:06 pm
an israeli entity delegation have been basically postponed if not failed shattering hopes of possibly reaching any deal uh before the holy month or during the holy month of ramadan. amid what egypt says are fears of its own of turning the current situation in gaza into a permanent uh one, but was there hope actually that these talks would be successful to begin with? bismillahirrahmanirrahim, in the name of allah, gracious, the most merciful. hopes were few for many reasons. first among them being zin of stubberness and unwillingness to cease aggression against gaza. the second reason is the lack of seriousness from the americans in pressuring the israeli entity, with pressure only focused on the palestinian side by the americans and also by countries considering themselves mediators. which contributed to the failure or diminished hopes of success in these negotiations. as
11:07 pm
what was required was to acknowledge outcomes in favor of the zionist enemy that the occupying army couldn't achieve militarily. yes, the occupation indeed killed civilians and committed massicers reaching the level of... genocide, but militarily they couldn't reach their announced battle goals, therefore they wanted to give the killer and the butcher political gifts and strategic gains at the expense of the steadfastness and sacrifices of the palestinian people. hence these negotiations were viewed from the beginning as difficult and might not lead to results with the israeli entity, possibly exploiting them to achieve gains at the expense of the palestinian people. well dr. sin officials involved in this negotiation round, they were saying that on the field pressures exerted by the resistance to potentially cause a breach were awaited to at least influence maybe the losses incurred by the occupation and its failure to achieve any of its goals, the covert and overt goals uh
11:08 pm
for gaza, in addition to internal israeli entity pressure as well that is mounting as we speak, how do you think the site of resistance fighters, palestinian resistance? fighters reemerging again in the northernmost part of gaza, in bet han if any, head designs while they are preparing to invade supposedly south in rafah after uh maybe thinking that the northern part has already been dealt with and there is no longer any potential threat against the zionist entity in the north. yes, indeed, this issue troubles the zionist army. there is frustration at many levels among officers. or former officers who work as political advisers for zionist parties. the resurgence and control of palestinian resistance fighters in many areas in northern gazza confirmed the failure of the israeli entity announcement of its success in cleansing these areas of fighters, and fully illustrates that the occupation army couldn't
11:09 pm
actually reach the leaders or the capture zinus or establish real control within these areas. here we see major military failure of the israeli occupation army. therefore, israeli zinanists resort to taking palestinian civilians as hostages. they pressure civilians and destroy infrastructure in exchange for this military failure. whenever the occupation army senses its failure to achieve actual military objectives, you find it retaliating against civilians, increasing its bombardment of infrastructure and adopting a policy of starvation to counterbalance the resistances resilience. the israeli entity aims to use two and a half million.
11:10 pm
they don't want to leave palestinians with any infrastructure that would allow them to return to normal life in case the fighting stops, and this is indeed serious matter falling within the framework of comprehensive human extermination. well, communications between egyptians and zinus israel. dr. hussein witness repeated israeli entity demands to open the rafa crossing only for the passage of thousands of palestinians into the egyptian borders uh temporarily as they say, which we don't believe, for a specific period of time to be agreed upon. why not just agree to open the border first for the
11:11 pm
uh food, for the aid, for the medicine that the palestinian people in gaza severely need? what, why are the parties involved in the talks with the zionist entity allow? the zionist entity to keep the border rafaah closed in the faces of the palestinians and the faces of any aid that would come to the palestinians why are they so uh okay with this why is this okay for them uh at night netanyahu announced that the construction of the seaport was his idea which reinforces the occupation because israeli entity soldiers would be stationed there to liver what is called aid while also don't the existence of any starvation inside gazza. this is a real disconnect from reality and the disregard for the human spirit of the palestinian people. yes, rafa crossing can be open to provide aid, which is the easiest, most effective and most humane solution. unfortunately, there is
11:12 pm
a zionist american decision to prevent the opening of this crossing. it's worth mentioning that many palestinians leave through this crossing by bribing egyptian officers stationed there to temporarily or permanent. leave, however, unfortunately, the egyptian decision still prohibits the entry of aid without american and israeli permission. this is indeed surprising, even to the egyptian people. we notice that. during this period, there are pressures on egypt from various aspects, including financial temptations, for example, from the united arab emirates to maintain the stance of preventing the reinforcement of the resilience of the palestinian people within the sector, as this resilience could lead to a complete failure of the zionist invasion. this is a surprising matter that cannot be understood neither from humanitarian, nor from legal perspective, because egypt owns of crossing and controls the land border. route where any crossing can be established, but it hesitates to do so because it falls within
11:13 pm
the framework of american policy. the primary fear here in gaza is the implementation of a zianist goal, which is the displacement of the population. this is a goal that the israely entity has not retreated from, and i don't know to what extent the egyptian government can withstand the immense pressure it faces. as we have seen it could be much easier to accomplish than sending aid that kills people from hunger or waiting. 60 days to secure the port, we have a clear crossing that could be the real alternative to delivering aid, and this is very detrimental to the egyptian situation and to the arab countries, and it's utterly condemnable, definitely professor of political sociology at the lebanese university, dr. thank you very much for being with us to discuss this very pressing issue at the moment in palestine. ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we're going to talk about how the us is complicite in genocide in gaza.
11:14 pm
now, the united states of america. america has behaved in this way, knowing that zinis israel from the very beginning has carried out crimes against humanity and amounting to genocide such as targeting civilians and seeking to ethnically cleanse the gaza population, hence americans must think through whether they are willing to carry on with with this policy of passive permissiveness and perhaps one day even face legal accusation that they were participants in the genocide by zionist israel in the gaza strip. more details in this following report. the united states of america is attempting to reshave the narrative in gaza, portraying the
11:15 pm
current democratic administration as the one innovating solutions eight civilians in the strip. after zianist israel, the primary zionist ally killed and injured over 100,000 palestinians in gaza. president joe biden, who last week reaffirmed his eternal support for zinist israel has also displaced around 2 million palestinians demolished their homes, schools, hospitals. and orphanages, uprooted and destroyed their infrastructure, rendering their cities and towns uninhabitable. not only that, they were also besieged, starved, and then killed as they tried to obtain some meger food that falls from the sky, only to be killed by one of the deadly projectiles raining down from the sky. as internal pressures increase in the united states, biden innovated with the assistance of consultation of the zionist israelis of course, the idea of a maritime bridge from the coast of cyprus to the... coasts of gaza, an old new project with entirely inhumane objectives. mind you, the border with egypt
11:16 pm
is right there, and all what is really needed is for the border to be opened. there is not an iota of doubt that the united states of america can stop the carnage and famon in gaza, but has not done so. surely this makes it complicit in the genocide there. as the horror in gaza continues, americans in particular should repeat one simple proposition to themselves. their government is complicit in prolonging and unnecessary. a war in which their close ally zionist israel is actively engaged in starving the palestinian population of gaza into submission. the united states of america, the supposed pillar of an international rules-based order who has defened us that only it holds the vanguard of humanitarian interventions worldwide, is today the patron of a regime that is indifferent even the most basic humanitarian principles.
11:17 pm
these are those some political factions here in lebanon, did they hear this statement, did they listen to this? hey did not just say the gods of our fight.
11:18 pm
they are exhausted, it's not just to say that there's of course there's hunger in gaza, there's destruction of homes and structures of buildings, this is just one part, but there's another part as well, the numbers of israeli soldiers killed or wounded is huge number, and there is a unity that the numbers are much higher than what the israeli army is actually announcing, some are saying three times, some saying four times. war minister says that we need new generals, we need 700 soldiers, these need to be in the army, not as reservis, they need to be soldiers, then the finance minister comes out of the israelies said, and i can give you 2,000. i
11:19 pm
cannot give you 14,500. soldiers, this is an army that is not fighting arab armies, they're fighting resistance factions, hammas, islamic shihad in south lebanon here they're fighting the am movement, our brothers in the al quds and so on, and also the socialist movement, some of them, they're not fighting armies, and then they come and... that army has lack in the number of generals, number of soldiers, they need 7,500 soldiers, they need 700 soldiers, what else do they need? they also want to bring in the extra orthodox jews to come and serve in the army, those are the
11:20 pm
very religious extremists, the they believe that their job is only they to take salaries from the government. is just to study the torat, they never go to serve in the army, and this is issue that was deal that was done at the time of bringoran, this issue, in such a time, this creates a very huge problem within the society of the israelis, they said that we want the extra orthodox, the rabbi of these extra orthodox just said that if we want to go to the to serve in the army, then we will all leave israel, that's great, that's excellent, "this is a good sign, this is the future of of israel, this is the true future of israel, this is what said, the people will put their back, they will just pack up and leave, he said that if you want to take us to serve the army, then we will leave israel, this is very huge portion of the jews inside israel, this has created a huge national problem for them, but why did
11:21 pm
the minister create this problem right now at this time because he has a problem with the numbers?" is being bold and he wants to go to, but the chief of the army is saying that no, we have to take them out of rafah in order to take the someone else. this is very difficult issue for the israelis to bring in back reserves to go to is much smaller than all the other cities, but still they believe that the fighting units that are found there now
11:22 pm
in gaza are not ready to go to. this is the situation of the israel when we come to the northern side to... israeli soldiers at the border, day and night, in the ice, in the snow, in the cold, in the forest and they have to guard all the borders and they have to remain right behind the border because they are fearful of the fact that there were be insurgents inside their border and they cannot withdraw the 10000, even the golani, even the golani elite forces were taken from gaza brought into lebanon, because what we cannot stop, they free stop. then it would be enough for them to bring in the officers or the police and perhaps even the militas and militias of the settlements they can take them and they would take all of their army to
11:23 pm
gaza, they would not have a problem with the extra orthodox jews or they would not be able to or they would not have to bring in more volunteers or reservis and create all of this psychological problem for it their people, it's very clear, it's very clear what is happening او it is their right perhaps to remain silent, but also we want to remain silent, like for example yesterday before yesterday, they hit for example building in next to balbak, the israeli media says that this is building that has to do with the hez, they had very significant arms in there, they had a weapons cash and the... very happy about this strike and i'm silent, we, we remain silent, should i tell them that yes, you're right, you you targeted an arsenal or
11:24 pm
not, no, it's very normal for us to be silent, what they're doing is very normal when they're being silent, i'm not saying the number of their soldiers, but also when we are silent, but also we do not, we are never silent about the number of our soldiers or who our soldiers are, we are very proud to declare our soldier - a war aga we don't have enough numbers, we don't have number of soldiers that would allow us to launch this war and this is the results of flood and also the results of the
11:25 pm
battle of the northern part, maybe we can, you can bear a few more minutes with me, what does liberman say? liberman is a former defense minister or a war minister we call him, former finance minister, he's a leader of a party, he's a leader of a block, a parliamentary block, he speaks on israel has buffer zone within israel, of course they say israel we mean occupied palestine, the buffer zone had always been created within lebanese territory, now it is the first time that they create buffer zone inside palestine and they did not bear to come one step into.
11:26 pm
it was always abandoned by the government, we don't have tourism like they had in the harmoon mount and or very huge agricultural fields like they had or industries or big factories, we had nothing that was very marvelous and we had only some very humble capabilities for the agricultures and farmers and so on. but perhaps you might have one touristic site here and touristic site there, but northern occupied palestine, that was a part and parcel of the economy of the israeli
11:27 pm
regime, the agriculture sector or the economy or the finances and so on, so this has huge impact on the economy of the enemy, it is enough for me to say this much, but whoever wants to evaluate, addition to other achievements that we have mentioned before, but now i wanted to give few numbers because the other achievements are first of all to deter the enemy from going and beginning any other war, up until now we have deter them from beginning a war, many of them are even fearful, they understand. instance is using and taking advantage of this front is also keeping hidden as well, dear brothers and sisters at the end, where are we going to go,
11:28 pm
this is gaza, it's fighting. it's steadfast, it's people are bearing, this is south lebanon, it's front is open, there are factions, the all the factions are fighting, the resistance, and there are marters that from civilians and fighters, the houses that are destroyed and the israely shaling reached the ba, yemen is also wearing the repercussions of this war, there is huge repercussions also as well, iraq as well, the resistance in iraq, iran is also under. i tell you the issue needs a little more time, this enemy and the society of this enemy, from now we can see that they are
11:29 pm
already tired, and we sp economy is tired, its politicians are tired, the problem on the inside is huge, what the situation will come to for this entity itself is unknown, more patience, more work, more steadfastness is very significant and will enforce upon the enemy at the end of the day to stop their aggression and to be defeat. it's mainly god's support, it is god's mercy, it is god's blessings, god almighty with all of this with the promise in the quran, with all the experiences in history of all the prophets and with our experience as well, god almighty will not leave his loyal worshipers, the
11:30 pm
fighters, those are... the deeds and the goodness that they did not even see coming, god will be stronger than everything, god almighty is the one who will open these doors when his wisdom is also said that says that it is time for it to open, it is our duty for all of us together.
