tv SPOTLIGHT Region resists occupation PRESSTV July 20, 2024 6:02am-6:30am IRST
6:02 am
nous voulons l'abrogation de la réforme des retraites, il renvoit en fin de matinée la cgt a appelé à faire. hello and welcome to spotlight. as part of their anti-israel operations, the yemony armed forces have targeted tel aviv for the first time. lebanon's hesbollah is engaged in almost daily exchange of fire with israel, and the resistance groups in iraq have been conducting strikes on us and israeli bases in the region. over the past several months and
6:03 am
uh the most oppressed people of west asia, palestinians are getting killed every day by these rail regime, but they refuse to give up their right to live on their own land. will the international community take decisive action to remove this western imposed occupying regime of israel from the region. let's see what our guests think on uh tonight's spotlight. here are our guests. we have. activist and political commentator of hussen al-baiti joining us from the capital of sano and academic and political analyst um ali hamiah joins us uh from the lebanese capital beirot. well welcome to the program to the both of you uh we're going to start off with mr. al-bukait in san. uh sir, yemen
6:04 am
has carried out uh a drone strike on tel aviv as part of its ongoing retaliatory operations against israel over the war on gaza, there's so much significance to this attack, especially because uh the uh yemenese used a drone capable of evading the supposed stiv of the art radar systems of the israelis, give us your perspective on this seveny operation uh, i mean it was... significant this operation and how important it is, because we know that benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of the state of israel has cancelled a trip uh toward the united states, this is a clear uh message that uh they were really uh surprised and that they were actually really hurt bad and as well because this drone has actually avoided all the radar system even the radar system in in around yemen either in in egypt as well saudi arabia and as well in in israel that's why they are now thinking,
6:05 am
what will yemani do next? will they launch, as an example, yemani armed force can launch tens of the same drones with the which they called yafa toward tala abib and i believe that the israeli regime will not be able actually to stop these drones, because we have seen footages by zionist media which the shows the impact of the drone, there was no warning sirens by the israeli regime early. this mean that this drone actually has gone through uh the red sea through saudi arabia has a distance more than 20 kilometer and then that it has reach and impacted building or area inside abib and i believe that this is will not be the first attack there are more attack to come and many army is still trying to force israeli regime to stop it genocide and the demand is so simple stop.
6:06 am
the genocide stop the killing and we will actually stop the attack and the target against the giant state we know that the first stage germany has actually uh successful uh conducted total blockade against the state of israel in the red sea and as well the gulf of aden and the second step was as well to target any shipping company that actually have relation or or or is having ships that goes toward israel they did today in the gulf of eden it was not only about targeting it was as well they have... targeted a ship in the gulf ofen because it has violated the uh the blue cade that yemani has formed against israel and now we see less actually less ship uh is going uh toward israel is going through uh there there see this mean has successfully formed this blockade and i believe they will expand their attack to target mainland to target occupied palestine and to target area like intel aviv of and any other area in in in the entire uh occupied palestine uh mr alhamya and uh
6:07 am
beirot, we actually spoke mr. al-bukaiti uh following the yemani operations, he said that this drone attack on t sends a clear message that nowhere and occupied palestine. is safe, of course, in no way is there a comparison here, but the israelis are now finally getting a drop at least of their own medicine. what a strong warning this was to the israeli regime? let me start by saying that we have three phases of this attack from yemani army against the zionist entity. first we say that from let's say military. strategy strategically and religious wise starting by the statements of general sari with new versus versus different from the all the other statements before and talking about
6:08 am
entering of the this is one thing the other thing is using a new terminology by the true names of the cities uh such as um rasharas instead of and yafa instead of tel aviv, secondly, using from al yeman to tell or yafa, a drone called yafa going to yafa, passing more than 200 kilometers over all the american and british fleets and israeli fleets all in all radars, the fighter jets and the iron dome in israel and hitting the heart of tel aviv, diplomatic quarter in the most fortified area on earth, in this case if
6:09 am
israel cannot protect this area, it means that all israel is and secured now, sure, mr., the yemen army. spokesman yahya said he said uh that the drone that eluted the israeli radars was new generation uav and that similar attacks will continue. and leader abdul malik al-huthi has also promised that the pro-palestinian operations will increase in frequency and in scope. in your opinion, how worrying should the promises be for these radies given the fact that their radars didn't detect nor intercept this drone. "i mean, of course, they are so worried at this point, because uh, we know, they know yemanies when they uh threat, they actually do uh, what they have to threaten the state of israel from the beginning, from the beginning of the attack against the shipping in the red sea, and as you mentioned
6:10 am
the failure of the israeli regime to stop th this drone or even to to warn uh their settler until of a coming draw, this show actually huge failure." and as well, i don't believe that this drone is one of the latest drone that yemen have, of course yemany army we have known since the beginning as an example of the saudi aggression against yemen 2015 uh which has gone for more than nine years, yemeny always they uh they upgrading their wibles, they are not putting everything on the table and i believe they still have a bigger drones, more stronger drones with more uh explosive and they will continue uh to... as as he said unsafe zone and this is a clear message to all the settlers in ter aviv they should actually uh rethink twice if they are not gna leave that area because we've seen
6:11 am
that since the attack of october 7 and as well the attack from hizbullah from the north and the attack from yemen towards or ilat in the south and now toward aviv, this means that there is no area that is safe for the settlers and as well when they called this drone as yafa which is the the original name before was changed by the opiation to this mean that yemanies actually they send an clear message that they are not recognizing israel and they are not ev using this name that mean that israel the existent of the giant state of israel should actually see and should actually stopped and yemen will do whatever it takes to help the palestinian, not only to stop the genicide in gaza, but in the future, if there is in a big battle for the liberation of palestine, yemani, i believe, they will do whatever take uh to to to to to uh stop the occupation of palestine,
6:12 am
and the latest attack shows as well a failure the united states or the so-called prosperity guardian, i mean they could not stop this attack, they could not stop the blue cate against the z state of israel. and i believe as an example today, millions of yemen march to the street in many cities and villages and towns across yemen, they are actually demanding the yemani army to take a bigger step to target. tel avib more to target other area in the occupied palestine and i believe this is what gonna be in the coming days. israel prime minister benue netanyahu is facing even more criticism uh inside israel following the yemini drone attack on tel aviv. his political opponents and the public are particularly furious at him for his handling of the gaza war and his numerous failures now add this attack to the list as well. it appears that the sands of time are running quite low. uh for benjamin netanyahu, give us your views on how this could be the final nail in netanyahu's coffin. this is one
6:13 am
good point to say the final nil in netanyahu coffen, but before i have something to say about the technology of this uav that uh tel aviv this morning, we are talking about a declaration or a statement from the israeli army saying that they detect an an flying object, but the... thought that it's a friend uh flying object, that means that either this uh drone is very advanced technologically or it has a passive imprint, we are talking about unarmed drone flying 2000 kilometers and getting straight to the target to the diplomatic quarters quarter in tel aviv, it means uh that israel is not understanding any the messages, about two weeks ago we had a
6:14 am
big demonstration in in yemen about simulating or simulation of how to attack by drone inside in the heart of israel and then we had operation one and two by hazbullah and showing all the vital in the occupied territory, then now today we have the big head by this drone in the heart of israel entity, so it means up to now benyamin netanyahu living in a very confusion in strategic confusion, military confusion, intelligence confusion, and it's like disintegrating decision coming out of the cabinet, we see that netanyahu say something. the head of the army, the commander and chief saying something else, and also we see gannet
6:15 am
saying different things and also, so it means they are living in a confusion, first of all in the beginning about what's the next day, what's coming in the next day, they don't know, so it means they are in big confusion, and now they are not reading well all the the messages that are sand ' by all the the resistance access and saying that either you stop and you stop your aggression against gaza and you left up the siege or this this war will be passing all that the terrence and maybe it it it will go all the way up to liberation how big of a failure is this war been uh for? israel and its murderous far right cabinet, the resistance in gaza is still fighting, the resistance in the region
6:16 am
is united and unified. netanyahu claimed this war would make israel safer, we see that the exact opposite has happened and most notably the projected aura of israeli invincibility has now evaporated in thin air, i mean it's clear what we see on the ground, it did not make the state of israel saver that... attack against uh gaza, it make it more vulnerable to attack from hizolah and as well from the resistant in iraq and as well from from yemen. i mean those attack and especially the joint attack is sending a clear message as well to all arab nation and muslim nation. if we combine our strength we can actually defeat the giant state of israel, we can liberate uh palestine. i mean the strength uh of uh of israel we shown the only strength they have is killing civilians in the in. in in in gaza strip, i mean we've seen that the resistant in gaza is still conducting attack
6:17 am
and killing a daily basis israeli so solder destroying tank and al launching missiles against areas in occupied palestine around gaza and this is huge failure, i mean thanks to the united states and uk and germany and other country support and full supplies of weapons and money to the israeli regime, if they haven't actually supported israel, israel will not be able to conduct any war against gaza. you've seen what's happening now uh with hizbollah is launching attacks a daily basis and what israel is doing they just respond by launching attacks against lebanon and mostly they are killing sev. millions i mean, but if if the attack from hizbullah came before uh october 7, we will see maybe major attack and a ground attack against against lebanon, but this is actually shows that israel is so weak now and as well the united state strength in our region is not because of their military power is because country like saudi arabia, united arab emirate and jordan and other country
6:18 am
who's actually allowing united state basis in those area, but what happened with yemen, we've seen the... in the red sea by the united states is because yemani has send the clear message to saudi arabia, united arab emirate and all countries around yemen have bases of the united states that if they they are allowed to use those bases to attack yemen, yemen will attack every infrastructure in those country and this is actually one of the main failure of united states in in in our region and i believe that if yemen will continue and expand their attack and blocade against israel this this actually will... force israel to stop its aggression against the people in gaza and as well, they will not actually try to target lebanon or to invade lebanon, because i believe that if they do so after any descalation in gaza, this mean that yemanies will not lebanon alone, they will actually conduct the same attack against the z state of israel. i ham, resistance groups
6:19 am
in the region have all reacted to the drone attack and tel aviv with all of them hailing the yemeny operation. as heroic and successful operation, several resistance factions have said the yemmeny attack shook the zionist foundation to its core, and the attack showed that security for israel is unattainable in the occupied territories. how do you feel about these reactions, and also share with us your views about the effect that this unified regional resistance had on the perpetrators of the gaza genocide, which also includes the united states. let me say first about the israeli army when he lost now the israelis lost their confidence in their power and in in the army and by that attack from lebanon and from yemen and john attack by yemenies and irakis as a specialized
6:20 am
france against the israelis entity now we can see see that we are either a step ahead of the enemy or we have advanced technology and why we want to concentrate on advanced technology, you are talking about a payload, payloaded weapon triggered drone against flying 1ous kilometers and then the israeli statement saying that it's a friendfying object, it means as we know military wise that every weapon, i'm talking about drones or fighter jets or even m battle tanks, they have a system called iff, identify identifying a f of f, so when this this drone penetrate all those obstacles and the
6:21 am
statements of the israeli army saying that it's a a friend flying object, it means that either we have now the technology of coding and decoding of iff system or the the israeli army is weakening now now the if if we see what's going if we compare between what's going on since the 7th of october we see that israeli army before seventh of october called the undefeetable. army now it's not only undefeatable or defeatable, now the the israeli army is collapsing from whethen and integrating, we see that the salary is going down, we see lock of numbers of the main battle tanks, pcs and avs, we see that woman soldiers are they have no places to or they
6:22 am
have personal carriers to take them to the to the front and the other side we see that the yemen yemenese army extending to 65000 fighter, lebanise declaring, the lebanese resistance declared that we have over 100 thous f, so it means we are moving from one phase to another, we are moving from resistance phase to liberation army, this is one thing, the other thing that we are also controlling the the faces, we the... time is on our side, the time is not in the side, and i think if the israelis now smart, they go for cease fire and and leave gas. right away because after that they will bake to to go for negotiations and we might accept or not, and mr., the lebanese resistance moving
6:23 am
hasball of course, says uh, it recently said it fire rockets at, abirim settlement in northern israel has said that that settlement was hit for the first time since fighting broke out with israel early october, we know the tensions have been running high along the southern lebanese border ever since israel started this genocidal war on gaza, are the israelis still willing to risk a full-blown war with hezbol at this point with the heart of tel aviv being targeted by the yemenes and all-out war with hezbulah doesn't seem like a good idea anymore, does it? of course, i mean uh, it will be an idea that will uh maybe resulted in major attack by hezbulah and it will not be that israeli will be able to invade uh south lebanon. "i believe that hisbollah now are ready to actually to start to liberate areas in northern in northern palestine. israeli has actually used all its power, they have used all its types of
6:24 am
weapons, all the support from the united states, but we see in the other hand, as in yemen, they always have new step to take like they did today by targetingiz when they targeted new area in in north of occupied palestine, this means the the the target list the..." resistant either in iraq or in yemen or in in in lebanon is still big and they are the one who actually have now the upper hand and as well israel will fear if they will target libanon they are sure that yamen actually will continue their attack against israel and i believe we've seen that we are now in the in the fourth stage of yemany escalation which included a total ban against all shipping company not only israeli own ship and this latest attack on tal abib is the second step of this for the stage. i believe that as well can actually expand their attack and their block to reach the mediterranean sea and as well they could at one point form against countries that have
6:25 am
relation with the israeli regime especially countries that actually supporting israeli regime like germany and as well france or any other european country and this is actually a clear message that yemen and the resistant will continue their attack as well i just want to mention that said abdul malik the leader of have said in his latest speech uh in the last 24 hours uh that and send the clear message and a warning uh to countries like saudi arabia united arab emirates because here in yemen they are they know that there is something is planned by the united states maybe to conduct a major attack against semen but they are actually cannot start this attack only if they are allowed from uh this this country that's why i believe yeman have set all the steps uh to to stop that and all the warning has been sent and and we've seen that from the beginning yeman actually has used a new type of missiles like the united states have said the antiship ballistic missiles has not been used before an hypersonic anti-ballistic ship
6:26 am
missile i believe that yemenes at one point they have a hypersonic missile that could actually reach the giant state of israel and the coming days it will shows that yemani will actually do uh what's needed to help the palestinian all right unfortunately out of time for tonight's show activism political comment. joining us from the emmy capital sana, academic and political analyst ali ham joining us from beirut, thank you for contributing uh to the program tonight and also special thanks to your viewers for staying with us tonight spite, it's good night for now and see you next time.
