wakim is a professor of international relations at the lebanese university in beirot. welcome to both of you gentlemen. now beginning with uh, but let's start with the recall the role that iran's general sulaymani played in reviving resistance groups in different countries in this region and also the fruits that you would now see in the performance of the resistance fiser today, especially the palestinian ones. you see, first of all want to send my condolences to the palestinian people and the whole arab and muslims people for losing. the martur was assassinated just under an hour ago by this entity in beirot, that can show us they are after always assinating the leaders and the thinkers of the resistance access in west asia, especially in palestine as well, which is from 1948 till today the same trend as they the... the con it as mowing the loan, so in in west asia, the east leaders, especially sulayman along with his brothers and comrades understood the importance of the united states of americans domination of the region and the importance of the zionist entity and from the us for

wakim, he's a professor of international relations in the lebanese university, good to have you with us sir, okay? let's hear your assessment and what's been going on, this exchange of fire between uh hazbolla and israeli iuf forces and as we see uh this is kind of the operations have kind of uh stepped up on the site of hizballah, yes actually hizbullah is stepping up its attacks on israel, however this doesn't mean that israel will go... a full scale attack against lebanon, there has been, there have been report actually, or some media were were reporting that there would be a full fledged attack against lebanon, so i believe that this escalation from the side of hizbillah is a sort of show of force that they are ready for any escalation, and it's a kind of challenge to the... israelis who were trying to spread in the media that they were about to attack lebanon, so now that hisbullah is stepping up the challenge and there is no respond response from israel, it's a sort of embarrassing israel and cornering it and showing that it's not up to the challenge against. so this is how we

wakim, professor of international relations at the lebanese university in beirut. and thank you for watching this episode of the news of the spotlight. with me, your host. i'll see you next time. يا جماعه الخير من شان الله. قمر غفا والشوق فينا لا ينال ودموعنا في الليل تصنع والسلام والحزن غلف كل قلب عاشق. عاشق المحروم حتما لا يلام هنا الف ذكره ودروب عشق لم تزل ترزوا لقاء هنا الف عبراء الزواجه تقعين to repossess gaza, to reconquest gaza and to uh convert it into an israeli area, but this is pure madness and it's utterly illegal. now it's not new, because force displacement is the main trade that characterizes israeli occupation in the gaza street, the west bank and east jerusalem. it has gone through 56 years. not to mention what has happened before, but now this, i mean it's so cynical to call it voluntary migration and continue to evoke as the only possibility for the palestinians in gaza to survive, to move somewhere else, to the sinai or somewhere else in the arab region saying that the palestinians are arabs, this is like saying that italians can go anywhere because they are euro

so that's why they chose not to uh to pull out and not to be part of this coalition. okay thank you jamal wakim professor of international relations thank you for your time on on the program here for this extended conversation joining us there. from bayrut, stay safe, sir. meanwhile, more palestinian civilians are falling victim to intense israely attacks on gaza, where nearly 23,500 people have died since the 7th of october. health officials out of gaza say over dozen civilians were killed in air strikes on rafa and khan unis, both in southern gaza and to central gaza in deir albalah, palestinian journalist was killed in an air strike near alaksa hospital. the government media office in gaza says the israeli regime is using genocide and starvation as a policy to force palestinians out of the territory, and that's in reference to a comment by far right israeli minister who's encouraging palestinians to immigrate from gaza. the media office called on the international community to condemn heinous israeli atrocities and displacement. since october the 7th, the israeli regime has been conduc

jamal wakim is a professor of international relations at the lebanese university beirot who joins us. um, welcome to the program. let's first talk about the number of deaths of the regime forces that israel has experienced in the past 24 hours or so, which we understand from what i'm reading over here, 21. and then you had uh the three who were also um taken out i believe a day prior and you have the number of injuries more than dozen in one in the on the same day and 221 uh overall death thol as announced by israel which is usually underreported what do you think about the fact that they're sustaining this types of losses at this rate uh and at this stage in the game uh well i believe that this proves. the high proficiency of the resistance groups in gaza and their capability of inflicting heavy casualties on the israelis and this was severe blow. i believe that such blows would be the only mean for for israel or the israeli leadership to accept a cease fire otherwise it will continue its aggression against gaza and against uh lebanon, but what happened yesterday was severe blow and
