uh uh fourth day, we're looking at some, welcome now in our tehran uh studios sitting next to me uh mr. hamed shardi from the world forum for proximity of islamic school. is from doha, as we have promised you, a funeral service is currently underway in the qatari capital, doha for the israeli assassinated hamas leader ismail hania and his companion, as you can see, these are the live images that we are receiving from doha.

we do know that iran's vice president, mr. oriff is also taking part in this funeral ceremony which comes after a massive funeral procession that was held in tehran yesterday. ismail hannah was assassinated in his accommodation in northern tehran on wednesday. the morning by israel, his body as you can see has been flown to doha, where after this funeral prayer, there will be a burial ceremony and imam founder cemetery in the city of lucilen north of doha, a funeral.

as you can see in our live images from doha is currently underway, this is the abdal wahab mask in qatar, you can see live images that we are receiving, the coffin bring the body of the martered hamas leader being carried, as the funeral procession begins. of you can see some live images that we are receiving from doha. we have our correspondent with us live from bayrut.

mariam, i'm not sure if you're watching these live images that we are receiving from doha after the massive funeral procession that was held yesterday in tehran with iranians coming from even cities far from tehran to attend the ceremony, now we are witnessing a funeral procession in doha. tell us your thoughts on this tragic event. and of course israel crossing all the international red lines, yes of course, well we can from noticing of of course and observation of the the funerals of we can see how significant he was to the people, especially in the funeral that was held in the in iran, and you can see that it was very popular funeral, whereas in doha it seems to be more off. actually um and despite

the fact for there is of course lot of attendance and the palestinian factions themselves have gathered and and they have united it seems and even here in lebanon we heard condemnation from all the palestinian factions despite perhaps that they could have be could be differences sometimes between them and even the fat for instance ' "we saw that they were united in this, they even expressed their their refusal of this israeli crime, that was obvious of course from all the statements that came out of the palestinian factions, now this is of course in addition to the fact that it's um, it was it seemed to be political poetic justice, i think um, for for some observers, i think they would say this is poetic justice that..." ismile hanye was killed in the heart

of the mainland of the resistance front, which is in the islamic republic of iran, this is considered very, i think symbolic. uh and it in itself also proves that the israelis and the united states i think do not differentiate um between all these groups, they do not differentiate between the palestinian, they tried to south division, they try to south discord, but i think they believe they are all on the same level of um significance when it comes to uh for example all the fronts of the resistance, all the these powers that are growing. bit by bit and we've seen how they have grown from separate small humble resistance groups even even if we want to talk about the the beginning of the islamic revolution uh was it was very tragic beginning there were assassinations always also but this helped it grow i think

and become more educated on how to uh be able to strengthen itself in the face of its enemies and we've noticed this but it's a same time it was not reactionary and this is why up until now i think we can see how um the wisdom of the words of secretary general sasanlah yesterday he said that we have fury we are angry at the assassinations whether in beirot and of course the assassination which is the highest level of criminality of the israeli regime um but still he said that this is a tragedy and we will be acting, we will send the retaliation, which is, which has of course lot of anger and a fury from the resistance because of the the tragedy of it, but at the same time it will be dealt with with wisdom and very calculated moves, and we even saw this previously from the islamic

republic of iran, when they retaliated for the killing of their diplomats in in damascus, but now this of course definitely have... has a different level and i believe that even groups and parties or perhaps even arab regimes that were somewhat maybe mediocre or silent like for example the qatar uh they were always standing maybe midway between hamas and israel, now they have said that it is israel that has crossed the lines, it is definitely israel that has brought this on itself, they are the ones who began this aggression, and this is definite aggression now that... it seemed that we know now this is very this proves that what everything they were saying about majd shams for example the incident in the golan heights was just only pretext was only a campaign trying to introduce or campaign for something that is coming and we saw of course the speech for

netanyahu and the us congress that too definitely was um the beginning of something else and we had this before for example 19 yes israel mariam has had a long history of carrying out such uh assassinations, as you can see, we are receiving some live images from doha, this is a funeral ceremony that has just ended, it will be followed by a burial ceremony at the cemetery of the city of lucile, you can see the people who attended the funeral ceremony uh leaving the abdul wahhab mask. in qatar in doha and of course we will be covering uh the burial ceremony for you as well, we had with us our correspondent mariam saleh from beirot pointing out very key issues when it comes to

israel crossing international red lines over and over again and the most significant recently is this assassination carried out in the heart of tehran assass onating the hamas political bureau chief, a diplomat who was in iran as a guest to attend the inauguration of president masud pazashka, the support for israel stemming from idol and ideological perspective, you still have a firm belief that for example, in the jewish christian alliance, as they call it against the muslims, uh, you we have to not minimize that particular factor, even in the american military, you have people who do have these kinds of ideological beliefs, so - in response to your question, i think that there are two answers, number one, yes, money does

play a very big role, it's a huge factor in buying american politicians, even some american congressmen have spoken about this, and on the other... and you do have this ideological support and this uh stubberness if you would like, which refuses but to recognize israel as being a natural ally against america's enemies, thank you. and mr. shari um we have uh people in china actually protesting in baghdad we had protest, this is all against the uh terror martterdom of ismaal han in tehran, karachi pakistan, aman jordan, baghdad, iraq, rabat tunis in tunisia in istanbul, um as far as china, which which is a wild um that i mentioned baghdad uh morocco uh tunisians, jordanians, the list goes on, and this is just me scrolling for few seconds, are you surprised, and and in in

sana in yemen, are are you surprised at the level of outporing and support and condemnation against israel for the mar, did you know that he's a disrespected of figure when it comes to resistance, and that he's going to have this kind of outporing once the israelies uh did what they did to him. and i should say why do you think he has this kind of support in the region from the human rights perspectives if we take a look at the issue from this perspectives and international law and norms there are two indices and characteristics that we can based on those characteristics and

this move was against all of these norms and laws and values, this is something that every country and every nation can understand that they can act and they can issue a statement based on those frameworks and also based on national interests uh are residing even with the literature civilians and buildings that those civilians produced by western countries and with the international institutions and structure they themselves.

and regulations stipulated in the united nations and this is just the way in order to achieve solution and they just to portray them as the only way to solutions. these are the literature and the things produced by themselves. now you can see that they're showing double standard and their behavior and their actions violate them and contradicts them. can realize and can understand that this is double standard by some western states, and it's not surprising

that we are witnessing such rallies and demonstrations in favor of palestine, considering israel's moves that they target civilian houses and residential buildings and they kill innocent women and children and at the same time. yesterday at the security council there's an emergency meeting called to address these two assassinations and this young lady this temporary palestinian on voice she spoke she said the violence and terror are israel's only currency it has nothing else it respects no red lines she said it doesn't respect international law, diplomacy or compromise. and uh and when you see that uh the israeli regime is very desperate to be uh legitimately called the

state, why does it not behave like one? why does it not abide by the rules, the international norms of uh state craft? why does it not use diplomacy and compromise like everyone else, hammer out uh deals and gain some respect, show some class and maybe gain the legitimacy it's been trying to gain for 75. years instead of using violence, covert operations um and uh barbarism to try to achieve its goals. well, after the the second world war, international organizations failed to play their fundamental role to establish peace and preserve peace in the world. this is definite and this has been proved. the main factor and element behind that is the vetal power some states enjoy uh that this vetal power stops uh moving towards peace,

their own and their ultimate goal. making use of resources in the region, so uh considering the wito power that some states have, international organizations and like the un security council have failed to play their roles to achieve peace in the world. use of such international organizations, we need to expand and reinforce our resistance, and the resistance has resulted in this uh presumption that palestinians cannot win. to

ask for and to demand palestinian rights, if they had achieved and if they had succeeded in supporting palestinian rights, palestinian today would be in a better situation and there would be no war today, 75 years of failures of these international organizations have led to this situation and i think this failure by those international institutions will go on unless the resistance by hamas and other resistance groups like hizbullah uh in the arena and in the field they can ask for the palestinian rights and i like to now welcome sayid mosin abbus uh joining us out of london political commentator hello said pleasure to have you joining us in this conversation your initial thoughts said on these uh bold and um unsanctioned highly

illegal assassinations we witness fuad shukre and ismaal hanyer in beirot and tehran respectively. well, it's a continuation of extrajudicial killing. it's uh basically a crime, it's an international international set of crimes which they don't want to give up on, and it's the americans who've along with the israeli set the precedence for this. the israelis have been committing these henous crimes on not so important uh targets, relatively, if i can use that expression, basically ordinary. citizens in syria, ordinary citizens around afghanistan through to libya, they've been they've been uh doing these these killings all over the place, this part of their arsenal that they use, but of course uh the issue really is uh what's there to stop them, and i think what what palestine has managed to uh expose or gaza has exposed

is the absolute weakness of the institutions which were set up. by the anglo-zionist empire, for the anglo-zionist empire and against the ordinary people, so i think one the first things is that the world needs to look a completely new set of institutions, they need to completely support the idea of dedollarization, we need to make the international courts actually have some bite in power, the united nation nations itself needs a complete review about its kind of fit for purpose. fulness, so i think gaza is exposing all sorts of things that have been glaringly obvious, but now it's becoming almost impossible to ignore them for the entire world, because the negligence of these institutions, the negligence and the the the collaboration of of the the the globalist interests within these institutions is is

getting us to a potential stage of global war, so it's not something that is local. palestine and gaza is not just about the gazans, this is potentially about the entire world, because it's not, it's not a, it's not a big distance between a regional flare being a regional war being flared up by the israelis deliberately as they've done through this extra judicial murder of legitimate leader of of the palestinian people, the the the the hands of the western governments are are complicit with the... these judicial extrajudicial killings and mr. han could not have been killed unless the americans particularly were involved in and supplying logistics and intelligence to do it. thank you, said for your initial thoughts. mr shahi, um, many people feel if we had a more united front in the region when it came comes to uh uh muslim leaders, arab leaders, that

we would not have genocide in gaza, that we would not see these political assassinations, that the israeli regime would fall in line and behave, but i don't know because of concessions it gets or because of the way it is those those regimes, many of them dictatorial. are manipulated by uh western influence or or saying i don't know for concessions. unfortunately we are very divided region. why do you think it is not imperative for muslim leaders and arab leaders in our region to become more united to take the security, the stability and the uh the future of the region more seriously unite and and provide uh better for our for our future, for our children. we are not witnessing a united move by arab leaders when

it comes to the issue of palestine, there are some reasons behind that, one of them is that they are dependent on, we can see kind of dependence in terms of power, military and in terms of... some family bonds, for example, you can see that in some arab states in the western countries, specifically the us has invested in those arab states, and at the same time those arab countries have invested in uh western factories, for example, in institutions that produce wealth in those western states, so this kind of reciprocal relation of wealth and human resources between uh the west and those arab states. you can see that for example some of the relatives, some of their children in arab countries are living in western countries, so there's a sort of dependence, so it

definitely affects their decision, so if they takes a decision that will result in the us anger, uh, it may result in the danger of their interest, their interest uh may be endangered and they may lose their interests and it may impact their interests. people these days have media outlets, the tools that they have uh provide the opportunity for them to convey their message, so the combination of having a good

understanding and at the same time having access to types of media have resulted in a power in those society, societies that uh exerts pressure on arab leaders in those states today. an arab leader cannot say that they will make decision on their own because their own nation is awake today and they can distinguish between the truth and the wrong, so they understand and they realize the truth. for example, 100 years ago or 50 years ago we might have witnessed people that understand the truth, but at that time uh in 100 years ago people had no access to media outlets. types of power and it will lead to a

pressure being exerted on arab leaders so that they will be forced to take a move that may result in a peace. i think that this pressure is stepping up and arab leaders gradually may change their behavior and naturally reforms and changes. we have this experience in the islamic revolution and some other revolutions in the world that the accumulation of demand within different layers of the society may result in evolutions in different regimes and establishments in different states and countries you could see that the... there were some uh turning points for changes, you need to understand that enemies and those who are standing against such movements uh will

do their best and they will make efforts. proximity of islamic schools of thought, joining us here in our tehran studios, i want to thank him for spending nearly an hour with us here to occupy palestine, to expell palestinians from their homes and to kill them at will. they needed excuse, so they

called the land their own homeland overnight, urering in a dark chapter in the history of the world, but shall the owners of the land return home?
