9:01 pm
but facilities there are already overstretched as the last fires back launching rockets of air bases and logistical centers in northern israel, the people of lebanon, the people of israel, and the people of the world cannot afford to live on to become. and not because the un chief lauren's global leaders at the general assembly that living on is on the brink of catastrophe and know a slice of palestinians and israel's relentless one, gaza strikes homes across the street. the is really forces are again targeting residential areas of a route as the un secretary general, warren's world leaders, that level known as becoming another, gaza. israel's military says it hit the southern suburbs of lebanon's capital in an attempt to kill. a senior has prolonged commander. at least 6 people have been
9:02 pm
killed. residential buildings have been partially destroyed. is really a tax on dozens of lebanese cities in town since early monday of killed at least $564.00 people, including 50 children. you guys is a non stop lights mess. that's, that seems to take the entire region. we look no further than level. we should all be a lot them by the escalation, lebanon is the bidding, the people of lebanon, the people of israel, and the people of the world, cannot afford lebanon to become another, gaza. let's be clear. nothing can justify the border and acts of data committed by miles on october 7th or the taking of hostages. both of which i have repeatedly can them and not so you can just be fine. the collective punishment of the palestinian people,
9:03 pm
hospitals and 711 on and they roots are overwhelm. the health industry has told staff to postpone surgeries unless they are in emergency hospitals. we're already struggling to treat thousands of people injured in last week. civil, tenuous explosions of pages in walkie talkies 11 these health minister says most of the injured from the past 2 days or civilians will have that sort of happen. this honestly contradicts all the lines that these right enemy has said that they target militants. in all honesty and unfortunately, we have seen that the majority on that's not on the phone and due to the a text from residents who in the homes. meanwhile, has the law continues to fire rockets into northern israel. a group says it has targeted military bases. airfields and explosives factory 60 kilometers from the border. israel's military says have shot down. most of the rockets throughout that day. houses originally hushed them joins us from tire in 711 on the 1st question. i
9:04 pm
want to ask you this hour is about the residence of 711 on what are they doing? you know, do you see many people staying or is everybody leaving? it was since yesterday as a mass executives started from south level enough that is ready that strikes targeted several 1000 villages across the area. for example, the and far saw the entire many families decided to leave, given the fact that many residential areas were, hey, then, you know, we know now the number of people came from yesterday's is really, a tax is above 500 and i don't, i don't 550 and with more than 1300 engine, this is literally half the number of people killed in the 30 days war and 2006. so of course people would want to be and say for the audio would want to have to be ruth and all that i have, yes, probably for
9:05 pm
a safety and that that's what we have been seeing. so this yesterday, the road between the stylists and they route, but jams with cause lots of some people even had to drive for 12 hours or wait for 12 hours on the road because of the traffic because of the number of cars that are leaving. this area of this is normally in the situation of 4 people would always want to be insight and safety and on the has below has been hit very hard for the past week. i mean, it was the pedro attacks the walkie talkie attacks, the leaders of it's elite red, one force, and they ruth a few days ago, and it continues. i mean, it is, is the lebanese group. now in disarray, you get a sense of where this has left them. what last week was a kind of a very difficult week,
9:06 pm
maybe one of the most difficult tweaks in the history of principal. but on sundays, they took the initiative once again when they launched that tax on the east of hyphen, this is what the organization started talking about. this is the 1st time that federal law was hating a beyond the 20 or 15 kilometers that they've been hitting all the past 11 months. so i think high felt all the, the stuff high 5 especially did or my defeat added base and then extending the rockets towards areas to the south of hif, uh, north of tel aviv. anyway, i don't know either. it just gave them a new boost even with the people, especially the supporters, that not, they didn't use the initiative completely. and now they've started changing the equation because, you know, the sward is mainly about the balance of follower. it's about. it's also in a clear way,
9:07 pm
it's about the rules of the game and how the rules of the game are being set. because since the beginning we've been talking about tools of game and how they've been updated in a way or not the last week is really well saying no more. who's of game yesterday is i will say that no more red lines. and that's right now has what law is crossing the limits of the fast crossing the red lines crossing the rules of engagement. i'm trying to put new ones just a few minutes ago. there was an attack on a base to the south of haifa. i think the base, she's a navy base with st. drones. so now we're seeing different kind of even rockets being introduced to the uh, bottle uh the 5 you one friday to and today 5 to 3. so yeah, it's, it's changing. things are changing on the ground golf course. what happened last week was maybe one of the different most difficult things. so it has the lines history. sorry,
9:08 pm
that's the latest reporting out of 11 on without 0 is ali. how sham ali? thank you very much for that. stephanie decker, your live in amman, jordan reporting on is really affairs because these really government is banned out as you are from reporting from within israel. i believe you've just heard from the is really military. what do you know? yes, daniel, ha gar, either spokesperson of the army given his 1st televised address. he gave 3 yesterday today just one at the end of the day that you're referring back to that strike in da here in bare route confirming that israel killed as he has block combined or is it? but he's crazy. they say he was in charge of hezbollah as rocket and missile system . we still haven't got that confirmed by hezbollah, but he's saying that 2 other senior has butler commanders were killed along side that he said cool base. he was in charge of the recent rocket and miss all the tax
9:09 pm
on his row. he quoted around 300 miss solid rocket attacks today. you heard from ali, there has bought a stepping up. it's targeting of military infrastructure inside israel. it's very difficult for us to confirm exactly how much damage is done because of israel's type ministry censorship. news that he also said that they hoped this to be a short campaign, but quotes they had to be prepared for the long term. so that was the latest coming out from the is ready army. we also had a statement from these really defense minister, you'll have guidelines saying that they were going to increase their strikes on hezbollah targets and that they weren't going to give the group a rest. so certainly the message coming from the ministry is that it's an ongoing campaign that they are on truck according to them. and that is still going to go on . but certainly daniel had garbage. they said they were hoping whatever short means . but they were prepared for something much longer. okay. and, and so these really military has, incidentally answered that question we were discussing last hour on whether they
9:10 pm
were continuing to ramp up. they say yes, they say for your reporting that they're going to increase their strikes. stephanie decor reporting from amman. jordan, thank you very much for that. andrea to an empty is beg, your pardon, spokes person for the un entered forth in loving on una fill it. he says israel's attacks are a violation of humanitarian law. this aggression has been gravely concerning the heavy exchanges of fire, the highest number of showing that we've seen in recent months is definitely seen so october last year with a high number of fatalities or 550 people that being killed, that compared to the will still, it is in 2006, we're over. 1000 people were killed in 34 days. 500 people killed is a enormous number and we also have been rate to rating that. this is a violation of humanity, terry lows and can't amount to,
9:11 pm
to war crimes. but it's important the role that we have to play to try to de escalate the situation. the tensions ends to be on the ground steel, to try to find a solution, because they idea of an extensive goal. so they would only bring it why they're competing to the region, then one can can afford. and that would be the suffering not only of lebanon, and these, well, that would be the, the dia region. involve these, these a terrible uh, it will still, it is that i've been going on since the last of october. the more leaders have sounded warnings that you in general assembly about israel's growing conflict in gaza. the occupied westbank and now living on the mirror of guitar shake to me and been home i'll study says efforts will continue to reach a ceasefire agreement and gaza. it was all fine,
9:12 pm
it was on the bed to the address. we will continue to make every effort with our partners until we reached a permit and cease fire secured the release of representatives and detainees. take the path of adjust solution in accordance with the resolutions of the international legitimacy and the our peace initiative for triple to enable the past and young people to obtain all their legitimate tribes for most of which their independence state with east jerusalem as its capital on the 1967 borders, the establishment of an independent palestinian state within adjust i'm permitted solution. chevy is in the interest of the is ready and boston and people's what i don't know if we will not achieve this goal except with a serious partner. while i was aware of the importance of renouncing discords, you know, and ending the occupation and all forms of regression so that we can reach together the desired piece of in the middle east. maybe or of guitar also says that there is
9:13 pm
no partner for peace in israel. earlier i spoke too much of the ellen, sorry, who is the advisor to control his prime minister and spokesman for the ministry of foreign affairs. he elaborated on the nearest comments. he said, as they can tell you, they, i think his highest during the speech, there is no positive foot piece in the event this explain this to government is hell bent on master, getting the testing in the people and they deem and that he said is a key that they are those who deem within the very uh side that they can wipe out the palestinian people altogether. and that this issue will never be forgotten until one of 2 things happened. either they've been end to the of 80 occupation or they have an end to the palestinian people, which can never, of course be anything. and i think this is the way they kind of made the very clear a testimony to of the people for as the society of the, the community of the, for the he said that this is at people's under occupation. that people under siege that had been able to achieve education levels that had on the part of that had
9:14 pm
been able to achieve on an individual and collective level things that other countries in the end they didn't couldn't. and they are now being masticated, not only in the physical sense, but also in the emotional and sentimental sense, the people of that uh, targeted by, by this world. and this is what they've had if it's a katie and to speak houses here is gabriel. of his own though, is at the un headquarters following proceedings. they are in new york. gabriel, you've heard from many world leaders already, the brazilian president, the us president guitars and mirror, of course the turkish president, etc. on the list goes, what stands out to you. so far on day one of this you in general assembly i think what we've seen so far is something very clear and that's real urgency. and all of the speeches that we have for urgency, about the issues that are facing the world right now. but particularly the urgency
9:15 pm
of the humanitarian crisis in gaza. number one and israel's continued bombardment of the gaza strip. but now also as well, something they perhaps a week ago world leaders weren't expecting or weren't hoping to have to talk about . but they are forced to talk about now, and that's israel's attacks on lebanon and all of the speeches. we have heard a repeated calls for b escalation. and it really calling out is real in many cases for many world leaders to do their part to stop this conflict. i think that's what really stands out at least in the morning sessions. so far. there are many world leaders here for many important countries. of course, and i want to speak to one right now please. step in this is tonya by you on the for administer of slovenia. thank you for joining us on al jazeera. your country is very important for many reasons, but you're also the,
9:16 pm
you have the presidency of the security council right now. i'll get to that in a 2nd. but my 1st question is, what is your reaction to is real? closing alger 0 is offices in ramallah in the occupied westbank. um, it is absolutely unacceptable of shocking. the media freedom use makes really important. i was a journalist myself, and i today also have a chance to speak with the primary. so from, for the senior from a model, so i'm will stuff, i'm you, sir. and i said, let's do all that for a studio for an arch as united amada, and i do hope that. so that's what would happen because, and journalists have a very important message to deliver the patio and use on what is happening. this isn't the 1st time israel has attacked out a 0 or for that matter, other journals. international journals are not being allowed in the guys or to document the genocide taking place there because it's real. won't let international journals in there. what more can be done to pressure israel?
9:17 pm
as i mean what we are facing every day you said before, it's a type of a violation of international law received that so civilians to that and we month we see that's of turn. notice too many patio workers know access to too many tadja needs and this is what the record really unacceptable. and we wants to see the end of this war. um what is happening uh westbank with um is literally settlers smiling. settlers is also very worrisome and easy to it has to respond to the i c, j. we had a need for them. you saw the quote recently in the general assembly and it's about accountability. what do we see now? we the situation escalating is the consequence of avoiding garza. we've are with the time sylvania saying what we see today and guys are, can escalate and these escape i need to know. we believe on, on, even on a might become a new guys and we are quoting,
9:18 pm
everyone are easily doing one of his board of everyone in the region today's today and from, for the violence to stop getting innocent civilians and prevent the conflict to spread further. and we would have also a session into security council. how important is lebanon right now? how much is a dominating the conversations behind the scenes here in new york at the u. n. right now, i mean, our presidency is extremely dynamic. at a higher level, we can very challenging because we are getting requests from low sites we we supposed to have, and we will have a security council debate on garza now. we have a request to have a security beta urgent session 11 on silvia coordinating. come when that's gonna take place. it's a very heavy week, but to very important topics to discuss. we have all of the leaders here and this is the method for regency. and i do hope i spoke was a way to for, i mean, instead of leaving on this morning, of course have a good one you. so what it's live on is
9:19 pm
a very more country. it's we see in one day more than 500 civilians being accused and many are fleeting, the country. so it's something that we have to activate an urgency and we wants to see the end of this war. so your country as lavinia is zip codes, the presidency of the security council this month is you kind of insinuated there and your answer. and you said you have gotten a request, a formal request for a security council emergency meeting on the situation lab and on. and you are considering that you, your country as well as the essential the president's hold. the presidency would be the one that would schedule that and you are considering it. um, we definitely will schedule that. we are trying still, you know, get towards the request on board on the presence and see the time. and the agenda is extremely busy because we have every day session and seem to security, counsellor tomato is our signature at the event. a major conflict seems to work
9:20 pm
either shoot for peace that also takes place at the debate into security counseling . but definitely, we'd be able to organize an extra session 11 on maybe 2 together with the guys, and we'll see how best to coordinate the availability and the spacing to a very busy week. we certainly didn't expect this with lebanon, but here we are. thank you very much, appreciate your time. thank you for speaking with this miss for minister. appreciate your time. so you could hear there from the foreign minister that they hold the presidency of the security council. and she said that they are going to schedule an emergency meeting on new the situation in lab. and on she mentioned possibly on thursday of this comes after request from friends. so clearly unlocked is going on here on the sidelines. but that will be a very, very important security council meeting. as the council takes in the events transpiring and loving on houses here is gabriel is on the reporting there from you in headquarters in new york. thank you very much for that interview. thank you.
9:21 pm
good. this is really these really military has not stopped bombarding gauze at why we're looking at what's happening 11 on attacks on the central and southern ports of the gaza strip. have killed at least 35 people since early tuesday. 6 palestinians were killed in air strikes near the allowed a hospital. and now let's say rods, doctors and central gaza or treating a number of injured people from multiple strikes sites including children. attacks on homes and hun, eunice have killed another 7 people. i'm sure 0 is honey. my mood has the latest on the strikes from just outside deluxe the hospital in darrow, about what we're seeing is uh, continuing storage india tox, across the gaza strip in the central area for the southern part of the city, mainly in the city of hon. units of spider, we have been completely destroyed from the border line, the basement part that included all the eastern areas of pine unit, all the way through the coastal road of the city. nothing lip there, including public facilities and infrastructure. what we're looking at within the
9:22 pm
pos hours of, from overnight attacks. and just within the past few hours, continuous attack across the central area mainly, and the fight out refuge account, this particular referee. you come similar to devalue, ever got a saw the rest of your gums. happy repeatedly targeted relentlessly by multiple ears strikes and every attack, just leaving an after. not looking at the entire family that being killed, targeted and killed and arriving to the hospital in pieces or fully soaked in blood to take on chop again is secretary general of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. he joins us from the united nations in new york. sir, i'm very sorry if i happen to have mispronounced her name. by the way. look, you just finished a press conference in new york where you tried to alert the world to the conditions . the aid workers are working in right now in the middle east, but indeed around the world you, i think it's fair to say you were passionate and your delivery. what was your
9:23 pm
message? the key mass is, is that 202040 is becoming the was the what the humanity in more than 220 minutes and workers have already been killed. i'm in the culture of guessing alone. we have lost more than 30 uh stuff on volunteers. so i'll keep mass disease that this is not suspended for people who are they have to help other people bed one, bath to save. all the lights should not be subjected to uh, cleaning uh, been sacrificing. uh they had one life and dismissed. the chain is not getting the 5 footprints and it should the job. and that was the purpose of the fresh concepts today. i had a new, why is this the deadliest year or did you say perhaps be coming on track to be the deadliest year? why is that happening? of the i wish i knew the answer, but clearly last few years, we have seen the roles and them, but
9:24 pm
a suspect to the international. stablish not somebody who mentioned principles and you know there's any but convince ensure step be jet cross, i'm just guessing emblems provide the protection, but the people, the facilities v cuz it be catty that it comes with custom emblem. they cannot be attacked. but last number for us, we have seen it rolls and on that mobile number of years on the see it in particular, we have seen you know, more than 17 stuff on volunteers got killed in gaza alone. i'm be with waiting, but it's got some beautiful voice, probably that the eat origin or what a period of time. but it could also have been contributed by the increasing fluoride isn't in the political systems when the government from pods to the conflict cannot come to a common minimum denominator to to ensure that the geneva conventions on the fundamental principles of the specter. so disagreeing, pull out, i this and clearly is not helping. you know,
9:25 pm
it's interesting because you just mentioned the erosion of norms as a possible explanation. and so many of the speakers were leaders who have just spoken at the general assembly have mentioned things similar, right? within that vicinity, that guitar mirror the mirror of guitar was talking about the crew. grosse on international legitimacy and killing the post world war to international order. i mean, i wonder whether those dots should be connect connected. you drew a distinction between international workers and local workers or rather, you said that distinction has been drawn. can you explain that for us? yeah, i should have some betty, i'm traveling and stuff this thinks that the last 10 e is more than 95 percent of the meditative to is with the local local stuff of local volunteers. but if you look at the pen, some that get in the media are,
9:26 pm
are by the government. that issue is $1.00 to $500.00. is one international, skipped killed versus one national, gets killed defense and they get that issue is one to 500 the just in guides. uh when the international um where it came from. this was of course, accuse transfer the the maintenance is where killed bid with close to print the pipe. housing media articles competing that just in a few days in assuming the situation when the for the police didn't do accessible disk up to the international coverage was less than 50. so it shows the discrepancy on what we are calling for. ease human being is a human being, be domestic of international amenities and workers, as mentioned, work are big, national, international humanitarian work because of the humidity space. so be say on best smoke happening at the moment, i'm best read, we're calling for the government to take it seriously. the people in power to make a difference, not one of the wars by implementing those or seen actions. but do we have still
9:27 pm
calling for help from the media is to highlight each of these situations. if an equal level, because it's a him to job, i clicked it. let me tell you we're, we're right with you on this very issue that you described because part of our editorial mandate is to cover people who do not have a voice. and when we are reporting on the killing of, as you say, as you call them local humanitarian aid workers, we often are the only ones. and when it's international workers, we have american backend. for instance, all of a sudden we have a lot of company look, one more thing i want to ask you. you mentioned the erosion of norms that people simply don't seem to care as much as they used to about losing up and killing a humanitarian aid worker. if this is the direction of travel, what does this mean for a work going forward? the seeds uh a bed holding trend. uh,
9:28 pm
i must say uh clearly the people who meet themselves in the service of the others needs to have to pay the price on fair one life. this doesn't board well, how big meditating accident the future i'm might have here is that when this happens started and i just missed a stop taking extra precautions. so that creates a bureaucracy on this active list on deficiency of the, of the of the you mentioned work. i'm taking extra precautions doesn't come create this also requests at least from the investment to make that happen. so might be at ease that the investment we'd, we'd have to be increased and the projects and maintenance needs to be increased that will impact basis you and see how we pick the best. so the of the, of the event and response. so this last bit of us, i think the humanitarian, we should feed, say, the goal and provide that to manage the assistance of the people in power and off. would it be? it's
9:29 pm
a moral and legal obligations that they ensure that we can do our a drag on top of gain secretary general of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. thank you so much for your time today analysis here. thank you so much carpeting this because this is something absolutely still ahead on alpha 0 for the 1st time japanese fighter jets fire flares or russian aircraft for violating their their space. why the timing of this is significant. when we come back, the fellow wins really picking up a cross c h to the side of the right information over the next couple of dice, logically as gods or things like plenty of hazy sunshine. len type of this. even
9:30 pm
though all still a little, i'm outside, i'm afraid. 41 celsius tough. what was in that there for q way that lifted off the sand and that will come down on ash a mile away and which will roll its way down to close that eastern side of sadie also wanted to shout was just around the southern end of the red sea, but nothing too much to speak of. that's different. that's still in place as we go very fast. i know that generally drive we have got some showers between the black sea and the caspian. just around the coke season. i saw that many showers across the eastern side of the mediterranean, looking at tablets is generally around the 30 degree mark over the next style. so maybe it's not the high, the. she push up towards 5 percent into ducky. i know it is a more really wind coming in that cross that is the side of the match. so that's just not going to head on the temperatures. they're going to move them pos of age, you know, libya fusion i was possible around to this, you pulled any of showers, surround the west african now southern areas of gonna need to go sing some lobby showers longest browse
9:31 pm
a price of what to whether to come and get this set of goal and the gambia or making the way a little further west. that is really forces seek to silence the true affinity occupied westbank storming and shutting down houses. here was bureau and romano, the truth must be protected and heard. and the stories of real people must be told . this is not just an attack on journalism. it's an attack on the world's right to know. journalism is not a crime or pressing it a pod came into the say say that your government has repressive policy. is this beth of human rights with this most important task mitel with them in facing realities. what you're saying is that you are restricted by the is released in terms of your
9:32 pm
movements of the time. that's right. to tell you is that the thoughts provided king on says, how much mist trip do you think impulses right now to africa? it seems to be spreading more easily via the story on talk to how does era the, [000:00:00;00] the you're watching else 0 reminder of our headlines is really is bombarding living on for a 2nd day with the death toll rising to 569, the military says it hit the southern suburbs of a root in an attempt to kill a senior, his beloved commander, the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez has told the world leader is living on his becoming another. gaza
9:33 pm
gutierrez has made the opening address at the annual general assembly meeting in new york. and israel's latest somebody missive, gaza has killed at least 35 palestinians since early on tuesday, dumpsters and central gaza, or treating a series of engine palestinians arriving from multiple strikes sites. among them, children you'll have live in joins us now. you are an independent political analyst, are joining us from the billing i'm in washington. so we are trying to figure out still, how far israel intends to go here. what exactly is really intends to do and living on, you know, nobody has a crystal ball, but when you look at where we're headed, what do you see as well, there are several factors here. um, we have to understand design is a uh to to, to get to a uh, a firm answer design is, um, is, is structurally and functionally operating as it is that as it has
9:34 pm
uh, since 1948 and before. so my job as an analyst of defensive behavior specifically, is to examine aggression and look at it as a defensive response. so when israel claims a self defense, this is one of the 2 of the most powerful propaganda pillars that zionism uses. the other one being the conflation of zionism and judaism. so when we look at the tab from the beginning from october 7th, it was clear that this genocide was not only a land grab which was pretty obvious to palestinian historians for decades already analyzing zionism and allies. but also a criminal uh, escapade for a prime minister is really prime minister benjamin. it's an yeah, it was facing charges. so he capitalized on this moment to begin a war,
9:35 pm
which i really am not confident in saying that he is even interested in anything in any way. so can you describe gaza as it is really land grabs in that case was living on the same. there are groups within now is really society who seek out parts of south living on the yeah. but you know, they've already occupied southern, sorry to jump in, but they've already occupied 711 on and then they withdrew. right, exactly. but a simpler colonialist, a structure doesn't learn from this and change its uh, its behavior. it just learn to modify of tactics, not at the strategy. so now the tactic is a little bit different. there's a different us president who backs uh these, these adventures of the design is leadership. and a, it's a, it's a different time that his belie isn't, isn't uh, structurally in
9:36 pm
a different place. and so is this really society so a silver 7th really played into a lot of the fantasies that designed as a leadership had for many years, including self 11 on which was a humiliation for his real estate. so if they go back into 711 on and if they occupy 711 on it, it becomes a lot harder to sell it as self defense. and i'm mindful of what you said. you called that propaganda earlier, but it becomes a lot harder, especially if it's already happened once for the is really military to just take massive portions of territory and living. all right, but well, 1st of all, whatever the united states decides is a culture of flies. so let's start with that 1st and foremost because we see the design is playbook pretty much repeat and 11 on what it did and gaza. everybody is screaming to the top of their lungs. look at this,
9:37 pm
the genocide is spreading. it doesn't matter. as long as the united states supports it, it continues. so on that level um, i'm very cynical and then on the on, on the 2nd level as far as militarily of it, like i said, this is a different time. the context is different. october 7th, played a huge of momentum for benjamin antonio, who is it, who's a criminal facing charges, and that he's, he's with his back against the wall. he could a pastor as a hard core scientist who, who is trying to fulfill the greater israel fantasy and at the same time postpone his criminal charges and you all, they've been independent political analysts joining us from billing and washington . thank you very much. thank you. this is the latest conflict between israel and has the law started when hundreds of communication devices exploded across lebanon . seems like this one the attack a week ago, drew widespread condemnation. many experts saying it was a violation of international law under international humanitarian law.
9:38 pm
indiscriminate attacks are unlawful as remote that nation of such devices means that there is no way of knowing who will be harmed by the boss or calling. clark is an intelligence expert and director of research at the sou fonts center. you're joining us from pittsburgh in pennsylvania. uh after almost a week of various types of his really attacks against has belong. how is the lebanese on group doing? how would you assess the amount of damage that has been done to them as well? it's always tricky to conduct some kind of a badge of battle damage assessment, while operations are still ongoing. and even this early into the latest kind of is really can't pay. and it's only about a week old. that said, it's clear that is real, has been successful and eliminating multiple high level as bullet commanders claims to have targeted numerous rocket sites with this over 1000 strikes. but the
9:39 pm
question i have and that many other kind of military analysts have is, is this campaign connected to any kind of strategy? and it's a important question because as we've seen and the last 11 months of gaza was really tactics, there had been totally divorced from any kind of a broader strategy. so the questions relevant for 11 on okay, well let me put it this way. then the number of times i've heard over the last year, you know, it has, the law is a much might to your phone, then how mos lebanon is going to be a much harder battlefield for israel. then the gaza strip hospitalized tons of rockets, miscellaneous, etc, fighting, know how men when you name it. is there anything that you've seen over the last week that would cause you to qualify any of that? i don't think so. not, not just yet, although i've been surprised at the, you know, the kind of balance of power so far one week and i would have expected, as well as to strike mighty or blows against the israelis. but again, this is
9:40 pm
a group that fits in the long run, right? i mean, if you go back to this group again, it's been around since the early 19 eighties. uh, you know, they've dealt with the as rarely occupation of lebanon, which lasted for 18 years. they fought a 34 day war against the israelis in july of 2006 and prevail stronger on the backend. i remember many of the same conversations happening that and so you know, has those in this for the long run? i think the question i have at the moment is really wrong come to the 8 of as well or will some of the other or randy and proxies, whether she alicia groups in syria and iraq, the who deals with them and now kind of join into to attack israel to kind of help as bull uh, at a time of great need. i'll keep circling a little bit around the same issue if you don't mind, which is like the, the, the assessment that is your assessment of hezbollah. why? because a couple days ago, multiple commanders of it's elite red, one force, were killed by israel in
9:41 pm
b root. now israel claims that it has killed the head of his beloved rocket division. that's you have to be confirmed by his beloved. when we read those headlines, it's difficult for us to know exactly what that means and how much of a blow it really is to has below it's. it's a devastating blow in many ways and it's more than just symbolic. this is the kind of legacy knowledge of the group. these are individuals that have been with it in many cases since the groups inception. however, there's a saying next man. all right? and so this is a group that's got built in redundancy, multiple layers within its command and control. uh, you know, field grade commanders and other operatives that are ready to kind of step up into the ranks. and i think the, the equation becomes different if you see the israelis actually launch some kind of a ground defensive into 11 and proper. that's where i think has the, has the advantage where it's kind of a symmetric warfare plays more to it strains than what we're seeing at the moment,
9:42 pm
which is essentially trying to survive, you know, is really air strikes, a pretty significant bombardment, as well as some of the covert operations, like we saw with the page and walk, you talk the explosions. so you said earlier that you would expect it has a lot of hit back, stronger against israel by now. what would that look like and why do you think it hasn't happened then? yeah, so perhaps something along the lines of attacking is really interest outside of israel itself. think back to what has the was able to do in the 19 nineties and argentina. this is a global organization with tentacle stretching from latin america to parts of west africa and beyond. and so why haven't we seen that again? it's still, you know, well, much of this kicked off on the hills of october 7th last year. this kind of current conflagration or is really offensive. it's only a week old. it takes a long time to kind of put those plans into motion. we may still see that we may still see has more attacks against is really interested in africa or in other parts
9:43 pm
of the world. and so i think, you know, the story is still to be written in that case. okay, calling clark intelligence expert and director of research at this to fund center. thank you very much. thank you. a fairly or i spoke too much at ella, i'm sorry. who is the advisor at the car's prime minister and spokesman to the ministry of foreign affairs? he told me the situation in lebanon is an old at war, not just an escalation. when he goes to the speech of half his highness on the 11, and he made it very clear. this is a assigned not to all the affiliate but this assign of complete neglect of the international community. this is a team in the end of the or that has decided to completely disagree. got any notion of the international community. this is a god that it, which is by the security council difficult guy, the resolutions by the general assembly. and if it got even its allies, without asking for a piece to happen immediately, instead, they are asking anything right now in a way, and it's
9:44 pm
a guidelines and 11 and that they have a number of issue here that needs to be the ex, satisfied. when we talk about what's happening right now, because i see in some quotes that can see, you know, this being an escalation, if you, if you think of what's happening like that and living on intensive numbers, you're talking about around 600 people who have already died as a result of this escalation 11 on while it's the children yesterday, including 50 children, including around a 100 women, including you. and it's the uh, people have been killed as a developed of this war. but you have to remember that in the last more which we called the war in the south web and on 1200 bucks. yeah, 2 at 1200 people were killed in 30 days. and the motivated months, we've talked about 2 days now and 50 percent of that number has only been killed 11 . and this is an all out war. everyone has decided to go to war and live in not without the justification for it. it has decided to open
9:45 pm
a 2nd front and the international community needs not to take that blind. i needs to act immediately like david's army said today the default of minutes of, of the content that this is now the time to act in order to stop this escalation. because it will end up being and guessing us all. and it was that nobody can control as well. i'm a shower is l 0. senior political analyst are joining us in london. more one. we're following both the developments on the multiple battlefields, gaza at 11 on and also of course the diplomacy in the world speeches that are happening at the un headquarters in new york. one thing that was striking more one is we see maybe a dozen speakers maybe more by now at the general assembly, the number of them to chose to devote all or most of their speech to israel's one, gaza, and barn on the tone. excuse me, i'm going to said biting. decide the us president. so barring biting, the tone was condemnation of israel. absolutely.
9:46 pm
not just on the mission is that i think what was clear and pronounced with was explicit was the condemnation. it was right. but i think what was implicit in all the speeches is signaling off the united states without suddenly mentioning its name. cuz a lot of these countries are incredibly disappointed with the united states or continues to support shield on uh israel. uh not just is are then that's a new government there. say, i think the, the 3 main ones that we've heard in the middle eastern ones. jordan and dirk, you have to flip back to some issues with this. are these are not, you know, for short and it is, was another, is in fact involved in the box, which is right. so these 3 countries are not for 4 minutes. and when they talk in the way they did with that tone and substance that's i totally couldn't then they
9:47 pm
of israel was a criminal general side, the war in guys uh, and criminal of war against 11 on it tells you the level of frustration, the level of disappointment with the united states fire and the international committee, the large so much to it that the tech especially basically said what all you the united nations, what, how do you this young the nation secret? the council from what's going on is i said yet a models failure or the international system has just been said, okay, what did you make of a bite in speech? i mean, the us, as we all know, has unmatched ability to shape events around the world, including in the middle east. and, you know, well joe biden delivered a number of lines that we've heard many times before. oh my god, did we hear them? the number of times ago, i mean, the world is an inflection point really. again, again, i mean i've heard that about a 1000000 times. jacqueline,
9:48 pm
every single occasion wasn't social security. the economy would always have an inflection point when it comes to present by putting aside seriously speaking. this was his last speech. he served for 50 years in a government in the united states senate or is on involved with the sort of policy you would expect him to have given the speech of his life. he was talking to the world for the last time. it was an incredibly missed will put trinity no imagination. no, in spite of ration by the american president, it was the same joke by general guys in service please one or do you think he's the cold or warrior as the jefferson democrats liberal on social issues in the united states, but hardcore on foreign policy demonizing this russia, exactly towards the soviet union, demonizing china is it towards the coming soviet union. he was speaking of the
9:49 pm
important of partnerships, but continues to promote divisive outliers is like focusing and just quite the nato and so on, so forth. he was talking about the need to work together, but it was the united states that continues to be isolated, that the one and that the un security council thing, i mean, look at it just the last few weeks alone. one thing i don't know, the whole thing alone, someone gets millions. uh, i think not dismissing german or something, no, at least he took about 10 minutes to do to move forward. but he seems to be stuck in the past. he's an old man that's never going to walk politically. he's an old man and that continues to think the same thoughts that the brain washed. it was back in 1973. it's really unfortunate. i'm like obama. i'm like so many of the presidential what people just to get out there and say something, news or something fresh learn from the experiences. not by that was the ultimate disappointment. as you listen to the speech is more one,
9:50 pm
was there anything that really surprised you? you know, you really raised your eyebrows like, oh, wasn't expecting that that's not so much. that is actually more of a uh, you know, direction. right? because we've covered this for awhile now, 20 years. i've talked to 0. this is a lot of a better position like of more of the same people expressing the disappointment that the make up of being an issue. security council, disappointment at the international community, but they are the international. right? so there is that drive those that rhetoric and there's the practice and then there is this always in everyone's time time to show their program right there on national program to the rest of the world. and you can see there's very little interest of what each and every company has, you know, but they don't want those as to the thoughts, right? so they're really, they should, we shouldn't expect too much. and if there is little that comes out, you know,
9:51 pm
