1:02 pm
and continue to ation of its retaliatory attacks, lebanon's hezbollah resistant movement performed series of drone operations hitting several uh areas and targets inside the occupied territories, but that is not a revenge that movement that promised the israeli enemy. in a speech today, hisballah secretary general sasan nasarlah said that israel is anxiously awaiting revenge by iran, hezballah and yemen. he also warned muslim states not to heat the israeli plan to eradicate palestinians and dominate. the
1:03 pm
whole region, in which case everybody will be facing a grave danger. welcome to the spotlight, i'm your host berrus najafi, and these are our guests in this episode. marva osman, host of fress tv's may stream, joining me from bayrut, lebanon. eve engler, author and politic activist is also joining me from montreal, canada. welcome to the show. now, let me begin uh... with marva, hisbolla chief, as you definitely heard, admitted that the assassination of fuker definitely was a big loss for the resistance, but fact of the matter is that the resistance is still standing strong, and he argue that what israel achieved by assassinated, he questioned actually the achievement of israel in assassinating gahaniah and shaker, he said that nothing has changed on the ground, as you and i very well know, their captives are not. released to no military gains on the
1:04 pm
ground. let's have your take on this aspect. thank you for having me. i absolutely agree with you, because if you look at the access of resistance and the losses that they have been incurring ever since they declared that they are an open struggle with the uh existence of the occupation of the us occupation in the region and the israeli antit occupation as well. we have lost a lot of fine leaders, prominent leaders like for example leader. martter haj qasim sulaimani, brigadier general qasim sulaimani, that was the biggest loss for the access of resistance because he worked so hard from the 80s up until the liberation of certain towns in syria and certain big cities in syria from the um bangs of terrorism which are uh basically uh funded and armed trained by the united states of america and israel, so when sayid hasan nasullah says that the loss of uh sayid muhsin uh commander. fuad shuker was a
1:05 pm
great boss, he means it because it his position was delicate and he was a mentor for hundreds of thousands of of men, not only in lebanon but across the oxis of resistance as well, but that does not mean that the resistance will be affected. we've been talking about the assassinations that have been basically the routine that zinust israel turns to when it wants to uh the resistance while knowing that it really cannot do anything. change its basically spoken in uh very clear words, crystal words and one of the most important books that designist entity ever published and it's called rise and kill first by one of the masad agents who was part of many of the assassination attempts and the assassination operations that happened all across the world, not only in the region of west asia, so we know that this is a uh maneuver that designist isr always turns to when it cannot really change things on the ground now. israel tried to use
1:06 pm
this assassination along with the assassination of martter leader ismail hany of in tehran to try to tell its people that look i'm bringing some sort of success, some sort of achievements, but those achievements were never part of the list of objectives and goals uh of the genocide going on in in gaza, and i think the uh settler community uh realizes that hence why we're seeing lot of protests against netanyahu, but maybe not against the war or assassinations or genocide, because this entity would... of entirety is an entity that does not want to see peace in the region. okay, now if well chief also said that the the fact that the enemy is just waiting and they're waiting while warming a lot, that the are this this retaliation is going their way sooner or later, and the whole uh, you know, israel is a high alert, the military, the officials, the people, they are all anxious and they are waiting for this retaliation from and is
1:07 pm
saying this perse is actually part of the punishment, so so do you also agree that this is some kind of some sort of psychological war? yeah, well there's obvious psychological element to it uh, and this is uh, you know, it causes israelis to uh worry, and it has uh spill over economic effects, you see lots of flights and stuff like that, um, i forget what airline i just saw stopping all their flights from new york to uh to tel aviv until i think september 1st, uh, something like that, um, so there is, there are real effects, economic effects of of this type of. policy um, you know, there's probably also, i would assume from hezball standpoint and iran standpoint, they do actually, you know, they do need time to figure out exactly what they want to do and to calibrate um, what they can do uh, with what the political uh result will
1:08 pm
be of of of of action, because i think the um, the preference still from iran and um and hezballah is to is to not, uh you know go into an all-out regional war, i think netanyahu wants that, netanyahu wants to uh draw the us into a full regional war, um, so so there's you know, many considerations, probably with the with the timing uh, from the psychological impact to the to the consideration of exactly what is possible and what um, what you want to do, because uh, you want you, you need to respond in a... way that's sufficiently um strong to deter uh israel from you know who knows what they'll do next if you don't if you don't deter them um but but also you don't want escalate too much that um you ensure a you know full on
1:09 pm
full on regional war right now uh marwa regarding this punishment that uh was talking it said this will come there it could be a mul by pon one, it could be joint operations, it could be from one single uh front of the resistance, it youlah, iran, yemen, iraq, they could act in a joint way, they could act in the penalty, so in terms of scale and the type, uh, what do you expect to happen? well, i think this is 100% some sort of psychological warfare that sasan masters all the time against the zionist entity, and he said it, he said that, the... time that is being spent without a retaliation is in itself punishment and now saying that we might do it on our own, we might have some sort of a collective sharing opportunity to uh retaliate from yemen, lebanon, iraq and iran, that uh its own also really uh puts
1:10 pm
designist entity uh top of its toes because it means that it needs to secure the entire geography of occupied palestine, because when for example on april 14th the uh republic of iran was retaliating against the signist entities aggression on the uh iranian consulate in damascus, we saw that it only basically uh threw like 300 rockets with sworm of drones and only those rockets completely decimated the defense lines of zionist israel, it actually needed the help of three nuclear states, the us, the uk and france and the help of regional allies as well like jordan, uae, egypt and saudi arabia, but majorly saudi arabia emirates and jordan to also uh basically put on their air defense missiles against the missiles sent by the by iran and you had their own level of protection inside of occupied palestine so this time can you imagine what would happen
1:11 pm
if it was like times two or three the amount of uh missiles sent and not only from there but also from south lebanon from the southern part of iraq and from the northern part of yemen i think that would be first, obviously unpresented, but i would think that that would mean that the entire region would have swarms of missiles and anti-defense missiles and it would be very, very dangerous for everyone involved, because israel is trying will try to utilize all the levels of protection that it could put it hand its hands on, hence why we see this level of presence from the united states of america and from the uk as well, both in the mediterranean and near uh the the persian gulf like as much near as possible for them to the persian gulf uh at the moment because they know that if this option actually is chosen by the axis of resistance it would mean armagedan inside of zinus israel naiv what's your prediction uh do you predict uh
1:12 pm
that this war that uh israel by support the us is waging this genocidal war against gaza and the west bank uh is that going to spread to the region to engulf other parts of the... region do you expect a full fledged war? what's these really playing? i think netanyahu clearly, clearly wants to draw the us into a war with iran, there is no. doubt about that in my mind uh whether he will be successful in doing that i don't know uh the us has its initial signals is to you know dispatch more uh naval vessels and fighter jets and stuff to the region um how far this all goes i don't know i don't know uh uh i mean the idea that the us would enter a uh sort striking in iran or sort striking in lebanon to assist uh israel's ability to uh
1:13 pm
kill more palestinian children in gaza uh that seems completely uh uh bankers that that's would happen uh there's obviously uh segment of the us establishment that would be happy to go war with iran and they want to do that for a long time uh the more sober. elements of the us establishment uh understand that that's a crazy proposition uh, but the netanyahu is clearly, you're trying to to draw a full-fledged war, i mean, whatether, what other indication you get then after you assassinate the lead cease fire negotiator, you assassinate uh top uh hezbol official in beirot uh, you're you know blowing up the new un school, was that 24, 48 hours ago, i think it's three or four schools, they they bombed and... gaza of the past three days or four days, i mean they they want to light the whole region on fire.
1:14 pm
um, i don't think the israeli public understands what might be coming for them if they if this happens. uh, i, i'm also the whole question of like, what happens with the other governments, these regimes in egypt and jordan and elsewhere that are are aligned with the us uh uh with washington, how long uh, how much support can they give? to uh israel, can they do what they did in terms of helping you deter the rockets and knock down the rockets and stuff like that coming from iran? i i don't know, you would think that at some point there be this governments will uh will fall, that there will be enough pressure internally, but at this point uh unfortunately uh the sort of us power, us israeli power in the region has um maintained the the alignment of uh of kind of uh geopolitics in a way despite you know however many hundred thousand however many it is
1:15 pm
exactly killed in gaza with when you bring in everything uh from the direct killings and the indirect killing um but but yeah i don't i don't know if we're going to go i i i hope it's not a full-scale regional war i think that's not going to be good for for anybody uh something needs to be done to stop uh what israel's doing in gaza gaza though that's for sure and um you know hazbillah has been the main force in providing some degree of of opposition, obviously also yemen uh, but um uh you know where it goes, i i don't, i don't really know. okay, now mar, how do you look at this? i mean, netanyahu is insane enough, everybody knows that, you can do anything, but this is what our experts and panelists telling us, different people have been saying, what, they've been reflecting what eve said, and maybe you also would, you agree with that, that this has been a long uh time uh ambition and wish. by netan yahoo, he wants to drag the us in and to start this full fledge war, also pushing iran and and
1:16 pm
and engulf the whole region, so uh we have election, elections around the corner in the united states, so given the situation there and all the support, all the anti-israel rallies around the world, even inside of the united states, uh, what do you expect would happen next? well, i have um, i've been working with a couple of journalists right here in. route over the past couple of days specifically with all the diplomatic uh waves the diplomatic uh people who are coming both to lebanon and to tehran and we're been talking and analyzing the issue and then there's this theory amongst us here in the region that uh because of all the diplomatic efforts to try and um maybe um persuade lebanon and tehran not to uh retaliate they found out that it is near impossible to persuade them to do so the retaliation is 110% happening but what happened is that the diplomatic effort led by the united states of america mediated by many players in the
1:17 pm
region namely jordan and qatar and oman, and at some point we also saw the russians heading towards iran as well, so there is a big theory going on in the region right now that after the retaliation uh israel might strike a bit in certain areas that won't be very much effect. just to show the word that it retaliated and then everyone will sit on the negotiation table whether directly or indirectly to end the genocide on gaza and to find the day after. war and that would be implemented and established before the upcoming election seasons in the united states of america, so that's only a theory. is that correct? i don't know, but this is part of the analysis that we have been talking together, we've been talking with people from damascus, iraq, tehran, even with yemen over the past two days analyzing all these diplomatic efforts that are happening,
1:18 pm
and this is what we got off with, but again you said it, netanyahu is insane and he... might go to another level just to make sure that this war never ends, and it's interesting then to see what the us will be doing in practice, other than rather than words. now you've the hisb chief also talked about the situation in the gaza strip, the ethnic cleansing, the genocidal war raging there, and he said the tel aviv regime doesn't want any land, any holy sight for palestinians, nothing for palestinians, nothing palestinian should remain. they just want to eliminate palestinians all together and that it's also the west bank uh the uh israely regime is expanding get selements and line what is land grap policy they also they're doing this to golan some parts of golan so they want no land for palestinians uh beating gaza or the west bank how do you
1:19 pm
look at this well smald uh said four hours ago that uh that they should stop all food to two million palestinians in gaza and that would be the moral thing, but the world won't let us, i mean they he just stated openly, minister in the government stated openly we would want to kill them all by starving them to death, i mean this is after 10 months of following elements of that policy, uh, they they clearly the people in charge of the israeli government, they and much of the... israeli public, they want to uh drive out all palestinians, steal all their land and and and then move into other, go further into lebanon and jordan and whatever, after that was successful, the more messianic ones would want to go even further, um, this is, this is, there's no doubt about it, i mean the the openly genocidal uh rhetoric, uh, the openly
1:20 pm
genocidal policies again today in the west bank, whole bunch of... more palestinians killed uh uh continued expansion of of illegal colonies and the you know the international court of justice just ruled you know two weeks ago now that uh all of this is illegal and all of israeli presence it it needs to end there should be reparations all un member states need to uh uh stop assisting uh israel's colonization illegal colonization in the west bank um um and yet it uh it continues where you have um the canadian government, the foreign minister uh 24 hours ago, she's blaming uh iran for destabilizing the region, so israel kills 100 thousand, 200,00 whatever it is in gaza, steals more palestinian land in the west bank uh uh blows up uh people in syria and lebanon, assassin
1:21 pm
the top these fire official in in iran and it's it's iran destabilizing the region not israel, i mean this is... "this is the the thinking in the capitals of ottawa, of washington, of london, um, it's it's remarkable to uh, to witness. eva, we have one minute left only, let me ask marwa this question. marwa, hassan said that for 75 years, we were displaced, we and the palestinians, israel is remained put, our factories were ruined, theirs remained intact, but now things have changed, israel is not half of the israel, it's used to be, it's powers is wined, and they are now suffering what" uh, people have been suffering, suffer, yeah, you have one minute, exactly, well, in one minute, i could tell you that, it is satisfactory to me as a person from south lebanon that her house, i don't know if my house is still up there or not, but i don't really care, it doesn't matter, it's not even worth the pain that the people in gaza are going through, but to be honest with you, the mere fact that we have
1:22 pm
illegal colonial settleers who have been kicked out of occupied palestinian land all the way to tel aviv, living in hotels, some them left. the country entirely is satisfactory feeling for the natives of the region and as a resistance supporter uh resistance across the world supporter, i think that this is just justice after 75 years of continuous occupation and aggression and i think that if they are sane enough they should leave and never return. okay, thank you so much, marva osman in beirout and eveler in montreal, and thank you for watching this episode to the spotlight on press tv, up in your host behruz najafi, i'll see you next time. 'there were several fire engines going up, so was the fire, but the police did not let them
