following major retality operation by lebanon's hezballah against israel, renewed efforts were made to achieve seasfire in gaza. the last round of talks in kairo ended inconclusively on sunday. the two sides are at odds on several critical issues, including israely demands to maintain military presence along gaza's border with egypt. meanwhile, the genocidal war is claiming more innocent palestinian lifes in the gaza strip and the west bank. un agencies complaining the israely evacuation orders. have disrupted humanitarian operations. welcome to the spotlight. i'm your host berruz najafi and these are guests in this edition. khalid barakad is spokesperson of masar badil movement in vancouver. journalists and political commentator in london. good to see you gentlemen. khalid beginning with you.
2:04 am
"you know hamas has already accepted that uh us proposed draft deal, of course it came after several rounds of mediated negotiations, but the us is acting like an attorney or something to the israely side, i mean doing whatever pleases the occupation regime, like making new demands, new changes to their own proposal, what's going on? yes, hello to you and to your guest and viewers, absolutely the united..." states have always been more than just an advocate and a lawyer for israel, the united states have kept delaying any kind of resolution to the uh aggression against palestinians in ghazza, in fact they have been the reason behind many attempts of reaching a deal, the united states had veto at least four times ' efforts
2:05 am
by international you know agencies, especially the security council throughout the the the genocide and wild war crimes is happening in gaza, the united states find itself in a situation where it does not want of to see israel defeated, and at the same time it does not want to drag this into... a strategic defeat for itself, because israel, as we know, have failed in achieving all of their goals except the you know killing and massacring innocent palestinian people, that's the only thing that israel was successful in, but when it comes to the declared and even the undeclared goals of israel, through this genocide, it did not achieve. any of its goals, releasing their
2:06 am
capture or you know putting an end to the palestinian resistance, we see that in the last week the palestinian resistance in of ghazza has been showing a very you know strong present and have you know strike many times throughout ghazza in the north, in the south in the middle and netsarim, even the so-called you know philadelphia access that netanyahu lately is been saying you know that they want to keep their present there, we are going to witness escalation in palestinian resistance in in in that area not just in of gazza but also in the west bank and in jerusalem and this is been you know ' um
2:07 am
obvious, particularly after the last round of negotiations in cairo, always the united states protects israel and defend israel any cost, at all time okay? okay, let me turn to london msan telaviv's demand on maintaining military presence around the philadelphia crossing on the god side the border with egypt. this has not been accepted by hamas. hamas of course is committed to the previous traft agreement. it doesn't accept this. even egypt that's mediating the talks opposes this demand, which uh also proves to be a stick in point in the seasfire talk. so i want to ask you how come israel is sticking to its guns when it comes to. philadelphia: well, because from the outside with these negotiations, for the so-called seasfire, benjamin netanyahu has had no intention of actually concluding a cease fire, he's just buying time, all he's doing is trying to delay, and this is yet the
2:08 am
inevitable, which is that that the palestinians ultimately will repel all efforts by the israelis to subjugate them in the way that they want to, because... was quite clearly they've failed diplomatically, the the israelis have got no credibility left in the majority of the international realm after the their performance over this since october the 7th particularly, they failed from a public relations point of view, because the whole world is now turned against them, only the anglic sphere, the ones who are wanting to plunder and and pillage west asia, only they are with them, the canadian. all the former and and present colonialist mentality settler colonialist states of britain canada, australia, america, all of them have genocidal histories, you will note, well they're the one supporting genocidal israel, and of course they've also failed
2:09 am
militarily because they've been embarrassed thoroughly, that they with their much wanted um greatest uh military force in the world evidently after america, they managed to... achieve exactly what, the murder of 186,00 civilians, women and children, they've not certainly not achieved any victory over over hamas or any of the palestinian resistance, the tunnels uh that they said they were going to shut down are still there, in fact they they discovered there is there there there are so many of them that they've totally underestimated what the palestinians have been doing in terms of pr preparation for the resistance, and of course uh they failed a moral. and political level at every stage in this kind of genocide that they committed, so really benjamin netanyahu all he's done is managed to make israel much weaker, he's exposed their their military vulnerabilities, he's managed to ally most of the axis of
2:10 am
resistance an operational uh exercise which they managed to test their abilities, and he's managed to encircle himself on five fronts military so... he on, he's not only failed uh, he's actually made things a whole lot worse for israel and something which i don't think they'll recover from. okay, now khalid americans saying that the senior level talks in cairo were constructive and that they would continue with working group discussions the coming days to what they call bridge the gaps, but practically you don't see any break through, i mean do you anticipate an agreement at the end of the day? no, not really, i mean after the hamas delegation, you know, went to cairo and they got back to doha, they held discussions with palestinian, various different palestinian
2:11 am
groups, particularly islamic jihad, and what we got from our brothers in the leadership of both parties that... there was nothing really netanyahu is as brother said said that he is trying to put an obstacle in front of reaching any kind of cease fire and that's because netanyahu find himself in a situation where he cannot you know go back and he cannot continue. he is trapped and he's taking the main goal for netanyahu now is to continue his position as a prime minister of the zionist regime and if he - you know if he
2:12 am
is defeated he looks at himself as if he's defeated in case of any sease fire and at the same time israel have lost more soldiers in the last two months, then they lost in october 7th, and the israeli army is deteriorating from within, there is almost... a consensus now amongst the israeli military branches and the head of the security israeli security branches, the mosad, the shabak, she, the israeli army, the israeli intelligence, this is consensus that they cannot continue with this war because the israeli army is failing, and the more netanyahu continues, the more this failure is going to show, particularly. now at these times where the palestinian resistance is
2:13 am
getting more and more um changing their tactics to offensive tactics right, not just to defense but to also launch and offensive tactics and we saw in the last week that the palestinian resistance have changed its tactic on that level and we think that there is going to be escalation in the palestinian and lebanese resistance in the coming you know days, at the same time the palestinian people are not going to back you know of their support the you know from the palestinian resistance, the palestinian people have a consensus, popular consensus to stand behind their resistance. that's why uh our brothers in hamas who goes to
2:14 am
negotiations, they have their you know they feel strong that they have the back of the access of resistance and they have also the support of the palestinian popular stand, and this is basically giving the palestinian negotiating team a more kind of power over the israel. really one because netanyahu delegation goes to cairo week and without any kind of real decision power right now let's take a look at what the us is doing in here it's provide the occupational regime with colossal amounts of money you know lot of us taxper money military hardware and there was this stagring statistics out yesterday i wonder if you saw that it's really mindboggling so at the same time it's pushing for so-called peace. talks, i mean they put forward a proposal that hamas agrees to, then they change it as demanded by the tel aviv
2:15 am
regime, what exactly is washington up to here, i mean fueling the war in gaza or pushing for peace, well on the international front, the us knows that they also are being tarnished with exactly the same brush as the genocidal regime, and indeed the israelis who are backing them, 97% of them back this assault on gaza perfectly. happy with this genocide uh america of course 75% of their public isn't that happy with it, but they are kept largely ignorant and blind, but the establishment is sold so sold out to the anglo-zionist uh kabal that runs the most of the world's show, but particularly runs america, that they can't squeak, that they've got them over the barrel with the hold on their economic situation, everything from the world bank to the bank of international settlements through to wall street, it's all in the hands of the same same zionist uh intricate network of corporate, military, economic uh and other uh if you like
2:16 am
institutional power basis, so it's very hard for america really as a as nation now to get out of that that coil, because they sold their sold to the devil very long time ago, americans had been engaged with over with with over 390 uh conflicts or military engagements that they've gone and interven interveened in uh since 1776, they've literally been... war every day of their their existence, it seems, and now half of those were since the world war, second world war, they're a nation built on the genocide the the native indians and the americans who who lived there, they are nation which you know is obsessed with guns, is obsessed with violence, is obsessed with this mentality of empire and imperialism, so there's a sickness there which you have to recognize which runs from top to bottom in many ways, and it's a problem for the world now. because america is no longer the guaranteur of any kind of
2:17 am
international uh order, they call it the rules-based order i believe, but there's the only rules uh that apply are the ones that they impose. so the reality of america is that they uh, they were the the whipping boys the world, but the problem now is that the the the global south is waking up and there's increasing uh talk of dedollarization, there's an increasing turning away from america, there's an increasing disgust with the imperialism of the us, this is all tied to israel and it's is absolute you know insistence that israel must be protected at all costs. ronald reagan and the like weren't so keen, you'l remember they stopped yach shamir back then, they didn't back these these kinds of genocidal all-out killings which biden has, biden is total total scientis, trump is too, what nahu is now banking on is that netanyahu comes back into power and even if it's kamala harris, the truth is they're all the same uh they sing
2:18 am
from the same himbook, but he wants this new presidency to come in and support him. a direct war. this is what israel's objective has been. they want a war with iran. they've been trying to drag in uh america to come and deal with iran, but america knows also that that is an not an easy task. netanyahu hasn't succeeded in 10 months to destroy a sort of a minor militia in palestine. they can't take on hezbulah, they're too scared to go full on with them. let alone iran and the entire axis of resistance. so they're in a real. from they really don't know where to go, they they caught between uh the rock and a hard place and they really are are stuck for ideas and i think that the access of resistance obviously is getting more and more bold given that the us has no idea what it's doing except that it's going to sink with israel uh which it says it's uh it's kind of a it's major if you
2:19 am
like policy uh imperative in west asia why i don't know because they're wasting. billions of dollars in keeping economy which is now sinking day by day, 60,00 businesses are have collapsed in this period since october the 7th is being said, hundreds of thousands of israelis have evacuated the northern region and the southern regions around gaza, the economy is dying its feet, that's by all accounts, legally the icj of course and the icc have also dammed america and dammed the israel israelis by issuing warrants of arrest for netanyahu, well not issuing, but certainly pushing for the issuance of those, and they want the icga wants the genocide to stop, exactly. now khalid, let's take a look at the humanitarian operations in gaza, honorable officials for instance, they are saying that the evacuation orders recently issued by the iof, they have forced a un
2:20 am
staff to in their words reconfigure their operations. let me quote what a senior honorable official said, the... so many people dying in gaza from things that can be treated, people can be saved, but we do not have the means to do this for them. direct quotation, would they not have the means to operate to the best of our ability? so the question is, i mean, when aid agencies cannot do their jobs, what can be done for the people in gaza? exactly, and what israel is doing is to push palestinian people into a total starvation. and despare and not allowing enough aid, particularly food and medicine and clean water, and israel is doing this since 1948 and it's doing it now in ghazza a very large scale and right in front the world eyes and they're doing this because
2:21 am
they want the palestinian people to do two things to... be displaced and leave gazza into sinai and so the displacement of the palestinian population in ghazza and the second thing they want palestinians to um especially the popular support of the palestinian resistance to retreat and israel is failing on those two issues the palestinian people in ghazza are steadfast. they understand that the one who's doing this to them is designist regime with the full support of the united states and the western colonialist power, this is not something that the palestinian people, you know, don't understand, they very much deeply aware of why israel is doing these crimes and who is
2:22 am
supporting israel in these crimes, and at the same time we see some of the arab teams supporting israel with ships full of food and many other commodities for the israeli market and the israeli society and at the same time they're closing the borders on palestinians, especially egypt. we know that the trade have raised between united arab emirates and israel, we see that jordan is... securing a landline of support to israel, at the same time they are not doing even closely to you know supporting the palestinian people. "and the more this war continues, the more these arab reactionary regimes will be exposed, the more israel crimes will be exposed and the
2:23 am
more the united states will look as if it's the primary, you know side to be blamed for this genocide, because the united states have publicly and until now did not even did not even condemn israels, they are supporting it and defending we have one minute." let me give this one minute to men abbasson evacuation orders, they displace the gazins, they have nowhere to go, they go to to make shift you know camps to schools to take shelter there, no means of survival, and those places are hit, so what is what is the use of an evacuation order? well, it's exposed all institutions, including the the un and all of their sort of mechanisms, what should have happened long ago? of course is that sanctions should have been imposed on israel by every instrument of international power, including the un, whatever they could have done, they should have been issuing orders for absolute sanctions, 363 degree
2:24 am
full spectrum sanctions, they should have been demanding uh a complete and utter ceasefire the minute things kicked off, they should have had the lifting of the siege on gaza done straight away, they should really be pushing for the ending of israeli illegal occupation in a much... harder way than we we've seen, there should be arms embargos imposed through the un and anybody else, they should have been pushing these across all international institutions, all corporate companies pumping weapons and arms should have been banned by now, and the americans who given over 60,000 tons of weaponry to israel during this period of this this war, that should never have happened, and the americans should be thrown out, article six should be invoked and the americans should be expelled from the un for violence. thank you so much, we're out of time, thank you my
