four massacers within 24 hours, killing at least 81 civilians. the israel regime has ramped up his brutal aggression on palestinians in the gaza strip over the past day. once again, the genocide denier. are

proven wrong, this is while the regime deliberately keeps undermining negotiations for sease fire plant aimed at ending the genocidal war. there are also reports of banned weapons, courtesy of the us being used on palestinians. meanwile the israel regime's economy is falling apart, 40,00 businesses closures since october the 7th, the occupied west bank also continues to suffer from death and destruction as a result of rates, illegal detentions and property damage, all of this and the us continues to defend israel, saying israel has a right to defend itself. the gaza strip remains the only conflict in the world where people are not allowed to flee. let me introduce our guests for this edition of the in spotlight. is an active is from london. so joining us is peter ford, former british ambassador to syria who joins us from manchester. to both sheriff, i'll start with you with another horrific set of uh data from the massacers. has taken place, four of them

in the past 24 hours is what we have, our correspondent on the ground has uh supported that uh killing at least uh what we have 81 civilians uh the regime ramping up his brutal aggression in the gaza strip over the past 24 hours um what is your reaction to how we are still witnessing genocide and the fact that you have some who are denying that a genocide is taking place? well good evening to you both, well firstly uh those who are denying the genocide have a political purpose for of saying that for doing that, because it is their agenda, it is their objective for the existence and continuation of this illegal entity that is sitting there, despite the fact that it has no right to be there, in fact, as i have said before, the uh bulford declaration is was illegally handed over to uh designists and uh you need to listen to the presentations made by the arab league barrister at the international criminal of court, international uh court of justice uh

where he sets out the details of why this entity is illegal and and you can also you need to go back in history as well and see how colonies have been made like for example australia, canada, new zealand where massacres have been committed sustain sustainably and and consistently and without any mercy on the natives, the same policy has been imported to the palestinians unfortunately who have been suffering a holocaust for the past 76 years and ongoing, the horrific crimes being committed in palestine today is very, very dirty scar on the conscience of of humanity, and those who are genocide deniers, they have a political reason for doing that, and they have, they are known to be liars, non-compliant with international rules of law, non-cpl compliant with international rules of engagement on and level, it's all about bullying and might is right and complete and other disregard.

everything that we know as conscientiousness. all right, peter ford, i need to ask you about these band weapons reports that we are uh now hearing about more than before. um, one particular report indicating 320 cases of severe burns within 48 hours. this came from uh gaza officials who are condemning the use of these banned weapons, courtesy of the usa. and what we understand, it's basically third degree burns that are showing up, thermal weapons, chical weapons, the source causing a in chemical reaction with the... leads to chemical erosion of tissues resulting in deadly burns within 27 hours or less. we heard these stories in one of the other wars also, israely wars that it had wage on the gaza strip, but this shouldn't be happening, should it? of course not, the the scenes that we see from gaza are heart rending, it's almost impossible to to watch. this is partly

because as you mention of the use of um phosphorus bonds, these bombs that we're talking about almost certainly are phosphorus bomb. which are illegal under international law, they can, they have certain uses which are allowed, but dropping them on people is definitely not allowed, but israel has no care about international law, and frankly we are wasting our time talking about international law here, because it's off a duck back israel with it. from the united states laps at international law, and the international community is powerless against israel as long as it protected by america. in the end, what counts is the steadfastness, the determination, the courage of the people

of gaza, and the military efforts of the resistance, that is all that counts. well, we are also saying uh... the israeli regime suffering kim sharif, let's look at some of those uh ways, some of the ways that they are uh reports of shortages of tanks and ammunition uh have been sited by many sources, insufficient for the onslot um the shortages are uh such so that uh it's going to prevent this war from continuing as they call it the genocidal war and uh you have even the supreme court that has been informed there in israel of this because of so many tanks that were damaged. um, what are we looking at when it comes to the this type of shortage uh and the fact that uh israel's experiencing that? are we looking at how the resistance is actually succeeding against the regime? well, of course it is, and the resistance action is a direct response to the

failure of the world powers in upholding the rule of law, and therefore if they say that might is right or so bear, the resistance forces have been taking uh steps to... uh uh attack and and defend the people of palestine with all their might, even those who can't even actually afford to do that for people like the yemenies and and the lebaneses and the iraqies have been attacking and as far as i'm when uh port of ilak has been rendered bankrupt and the and lot of ships are having now to go via africa to avoid the red sea uh ansar allah military. operations, and of course, you know, if if you say that you're going to apply one rule to one set of people and another rule to other rest of the world, then it means the rest of the world will have to get together and do something about it, and that's what the resistance is doing, and that's what is having an impact. what is unfortunate is that there are there is need,

an urgent need for more countries to take urgent steps to uh boycot this vial regime, economically sanction it and close d. shops, its embassies in their countries, cut ties with it, and it really needs to be to feel the impact more severely, because i have said before, i estimate that at least 500 people are being killed per day, i don't have figures to back that up, that is because the uh zist regime does not allow uh independent investigators from the un, journalists, other people to come and do the figures and the figures given by the gaza health ministry is... commonly dismissed as the hamas figures in order to play it down and and and and make it seem like you know that's not uh true, the horror that is taking place in there is is affecting us all, we are all being traumatized, the whole world is against it, it's only very few countries with power who

are so upholding it and they need to be held to account also, sure we there was since you've talked about how you don't have facts back up with the figures you mentioned there, i'd like to ask you peter ford about this lancer report. that came out, think a couple weeks old at this point, we're up to 180,00 may die as a result of this onslot uh to exceed 186, actually and uh it found factors like diseases to lead to many more indirect deaths in the long run, and of course we're talking about in addition to the so many thousands that are under the rubble, so that's a pretty big figure in a matter of uh 9 months, i think that is the largest figure a modern day warfare in terms of a war that has happened. uh to have so many lives lost, i mean the yemen war, i think was uh 200 thousand or so, if i'm not mistaken, it could be higher, but given the nine month period, as opposed to the nine years, and i'm just citing one example, yemen war, that's a pretty shocking figure, indeed, this report

published in the landset magazine in in london, very prestigious medical magazine, um, had lot of coverage in the western media because of course the the finding that that 10% of the population of of gaza is either. or dying is quite dramatic um and it's bound to have some some impact. um, it will play into a debate which is now beginning to open up in in britain about arms banning, arms sales to israel. this subject is becoming a hot potato right now with new labor government in place which promised to publish the... the legal advice that it's own legal, the government's legal experts were giving

during the time the the previous administration. now that advice almost certainly it was concealed, but now it will have to be published, that advice almost certainly said that killing 10% of population with british weapons is not legal, and the british, the new british government will be... the immense pressure now to ban um sales to israel all right so you mentioned the port of ilot there uh kim sharif if i'm not mistaken the port of ilat in essence playing bankrupcy from what we understand uh based on uh the report at least that i'm that i'm looking at um this uh came after months obviously of what we have seen to be the effective and successful antera blockade and attack. bound ships and vessels. at the same time, another report came out just days ago

where it talked about how 46, israeli businesses have been forced to shut down as a result of the onslot predicted to increase to 6000 by the end of 2024, so israel is suffering. we've talked so much about how gazins are suffering, but at the same time israel out of its own doing is doing something that is rupturing from within. 60 thousand by the end of the year businesses to be shut down, that's a lot. do you think that israel cares about the fact that it's going down a path that's leading it destruction with the aim that it has of eliminating someham leaders perhaps, which is their goal, which they have not been able to do. in other words, is the is the cost worth it that it may lead down to its destruction? well, absolutely not any sense. sensible people, any sensible country will come to the conclusion that this is a non-starter and

what is in our best interest is actually to behave like normal human beings and show some civility, but they have failed to do that. the thing is, i it seems to me that those who are backing it are the ones who are encouraging it and and wanting it to continue if you recall that that the war on yemen itself, the yemenis were saying and were saying for for number of years that the the the the aggression against them was in order to protect uh the the zionist regime because of that red sea crossing clearly and now that what they have been saying for years has materialized in fact and so the destiny of the yemenes is very closely tied with the destiny of the palestinians, hence the involvement of ansar allah in this scenario and ansar allah and hizbullah and all the other uh resistance uh partners have made it very clear as as soon as the uh zid. regime stops, it's a campaign of extermination and genocide against the people of palestine,

they will also stop their attacks, so long as the military operation, the the genocidal operation continues against the people of palestine, they will continue, in the at the end of the day, it is very clear that not only have they lost financially, and they will continue to lose, i have no doubt in my mind, they will there will be much more greater losses for them that they will never be able to uh recool '. that is loss of of reputation, the zianist regime's mask of civilization of democracy of human rights of all things that we all uh love and and and cherish has now been uh unmasked, they have now become the the unfortunately the very people that they had been running away from after the second world war, they have started to, they've been doing crimes perhaps worse than the crimes of those people. people who say this are often attacked and told they are anti-semite, on the contrary, i listen to the

lectures and discussions of many great, respectable jewish people who are saying exactly the same thing, norm fintonsteen, andrew finstein and ilan, pepe, lot of these people are saying what i am saying, so it's not antic to say that these people are behaving worse than the nazis, well peter ford, let's take a look at what israel the regime is facing and what it's involved in, basically, if i'm correct, we are looking at how it is involved in four fronts, one is the answer movement, the army in essence, where it is now also conducting, as we're seeing more... joint raids with iraq's islamic resistance, for example, targeting high for port, we also know that it's involved with hisbollah, the scrirmatiches that are happening a daily basis for quite some time, obviously resistance there in the gaza strip and also from time and again, though not as often, the palestinian resistance groups inside the occupied territories, we can

mention the lions den, um, why is it that israel feel feels that that it can actually... sustain all these fronts, unless it's a miscalculation because they haven't all acted against israel at the same time. well, we have to remind ourselves that this, the main reason this war is continuing is simply netanyahu, the political future of one man, and his wish to stay out of jail, because it's very likely when the war ends that he will be. accountable for all israel's failures and will go as well as for corruption and will go to jail, therefore the question has to be, is israeli public opinion agreeing with netan yahoo, and i'm sorry to say, it is the israeli public is not feeling enough pain despite the economic and security

problems that have been mentioned, the israeli public is not feeling enough. pain, it, it, the pain in israel cannot be compared any way to the pain the people of gaza are feeling, and therefore the the government of israel under netanyahu feels able to continue to sustain this low intensity conflict, it's not like the bombs were raining down on h, not yet, anyway, and this this, i'm afraid... that netanyahu can continue to hold this balance for quite some time. okay, let me ask you kim sheriff about another um slow motion, um, i guess violation that's taking place, and that's in the occupied west bank, uh, we are witnessing uh, so far over 500 deaths and

an awful number of uh people have palestinians have been detained. uh about 9600, we're looking at almost 10,00 of them, and of course this is a result of the rates that are happening, along with the violence that erupts, what are we looking at when it comes to the occupied west bank itself, kim sheriff, what uh, are we are we looking at that to increase as time is going on, which obviously is on that track? highly likely, mean what's happening in the west bank and and the the the conditions and the treatment the detainees is just and... speakable horror, mean the the raise that the way they carry out the raise, the the the iof is absolutely abominable, it's demonic, i mean today i was listening to middle east eye about the case of uh down syndrome, young man who had dogs unleashed on him and the dogs moleled him to death in front of his family

and that syndromean man and then you have the case of ' and of course the six year old who had hundreds of bullets thown at her, this is the way the iof behav towards the palestinian people, whether in the west bank or the gaza, and in detention they get tortured in such ways that is so horrible, even to try and relate because i feel emotionally traumatized, just listening to their to their cases, is disgraceful that human beings in the world think that it is okay to aid in a bed the crimes, the horrific. crimes of this horrific criminal regime, yes, the titanies in their senses, they get tortured by being beaten in their genitalia, some of them have problems continuing, and every human rights organizations that seek to defend or speak up for them is instantly accused of being a terrorist and banned and harassed and hounded, lawyers and non-lawyers and

medicals, either journalists, either killed or or or accused of being terrorists and so... for it's disgraceful, i am really shocked, i am really shocked to be alive today in this world today, to be witnessing these horrific crimes, to be honest, indeed, well, peter ford, i'd like to draw your attention to uh, announcement that the us made, um, basically, this happened, announcement that was actually made in course of uh, three days repeatedly, but the us said that it will now um, reactivate sending the bombs to israel, 500 pound bombs. that have been held up since may, it said it was over the concerns of the israel regime invading raffa, if you recall that, now when that announcement was made, just about three or four days later, you had that... area which is supposed to be the humanitarian zone, you had over 90 that were killed, and one of the bombs, the types of bombs that were found there is the dam, it's called, which comes

into either 10 or 20 pound weights, 450 to 900 kilograms payload, and it was said the fragment is compatible with the plu 109 bunkerbuster, warhead also, so my point being is if that's a result. and the the power relationship here, the power is with israel, not with the united states. united states, because of the way the israelis control congress obeys israel,

that's the the direction of power, the united states is not able, the us administration is not able for any long period of time to deny any israel request, but sometimes they go through the motions, they pretend to be putting pressure on israel, but it never less and their bluff is always called. we will remember that the americans said, no entry into rafa by the israeli army can be permitted. well, what did israel do? the army walked straight into rafa and what did? could do nothing, and this is now being quietly forgotten, the ultimatum to israel was a bluff, and it's the same with the temporary

denial of these very heavy bombs and this this is not going to change. all right, thank you for that, peter, former british ambassador to syria, thank you, and sheriff, activist and lawyer from london, thank you to you both. welcome to an end for this edition the spotlight. way and the team, it's goodbye, wake up, it's a long night, darling, wake up, it's the brightest sky, no love, it's a dark night, darling, hold to me, be alive, wake up, where, where do we go to, wake up, fire, fire in your eye, oh love, we will try to
