easily hear the story on talk to how does era investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe lounges here? the the, i don't know about this and this is on the 0 life until i'm also coming up in the next 60 minute. says bulletin funds, there's liter house on the song that has been killed and is very strikes and phases . we're going to look at the implications of this and the ongoing conflicts in the middle is the same time strikes have continued through saturday. these really middle to says it's talking to the sites belonging to hezbollah, displaced by the cost of is reading bombing many families and they route are forced to live on the streets.

the cause of all that has confirmed the death of its leader house on this with all the group confirmed. he was killed by a massive is ready as strike on friday, several hours out of israel's military. and as it believed, it have killed and the saw in the air strike in a safe and as well as that it would continue to confront israel in support of garza and in defense of love, in a general called a looks back at his life on this roller reach the peak of his popularity after the war with israel in 2006, he was seen as a hero, not just didn't live in on, but beyond standing up to as well as what defined him and his a brand new and back group for years, but that's changed. what has the last sense fighters to syria when an uprising begins threatening? president bush are us. that's what am i that the resistance con,

stand with his arms folded, while its best broken. if syria falls in the hands of the us, these riley's and the talk series, then the resistance will be besieged theory. while this was a turning point, ms rela was no longer seen as a leader of a resistance movement. but the leader of a she or party fighting for iranian interests. she was labeled a terrorist by arab countries. i'm. i'm not even before involvement in the war in syria now. strong. i failed to convince many in the sun, the muslim arab world, that his movement was not behind the assassination of lebanon's former prime minister, or if he can heavy in 2005, an international tribunal indicted for members of the group. one was later convicted despite this, this will continue to enjoy backing from his support base, mainly 11 on she us who referred him as a leader and religious figurehead. he was, has been the longest serving secretary general taking over at the age of 32 when

his proved assessor about so most of we was killed by his really miss idols. in 1992 in power for nearly 30 years now, certainly has long been seen as a target for assassination by as well. who, along with the united states, has designated has the law the terrorist organization. that's why he rarely made public appearances and delivered speeches on television. instead, he played a big role and as well as transformation from a rob group during the civil war in lebanon and the 1980s to a military force stronger than the army. and the political party, stronger than the state and the fellow who received religious education in iran has been described as the most powerful figure in loving on without holding public office. his critics say, his political muscle came from the groups weapons which were used against domestic opponents in 2008. i am, i'm fits the instead of giving up his beloved weapons. now under this government,

under this regime of the means leaving living on exposed before israel and it was an accusation, this fellow would repeatedly make against those demanding hezbollah. this armament, he protected whatever power the group gained over the decades while doing so public criticism heights and especially when he tried to under cut the nationwide protest movement that called for a strong state and a new political order. no surrender support who saw him as a defender of the rights of she. us with his critics said he was a runs man who never shied away from showing allegiance due to run. and it's really just authority, has been law faced, one of its biggest challenges after and the threat to announce the group opened up a front against as well to help really pressure on its allies from us and gaza in october, 2023. the group suffers losses after months of cross border fighting and is really a tax that targeted significant figures in the movement. but not solar remained

defiant, has been described as the personification of hezbollah. and while the group is organized and unified, a leadership change is unlikely to have a wide ranging implications. but it's last the commander who was cameras matic and whose influence extended far beyond living on. and i have some joining us now from they would just talk to us about the significance of this, the problem. this is and you had read too many, those was today in the thirty's water in the forty's. they've lived. why and how soon this will allow us the strong manual fleming or the leader of his beloved. and of course, there were several phases, but as has it has the law and some of the law. what instruments and been determining the fate of this country in the ninety's when he was the lead, the young lead a physical law in his thirty's, he lost his son,

was fighting against his rent. it's, it's there what he gained, his credit amenities, and 11 on and in the region. and then in the 2000 when his reg, withdrawal from south 11 on, on the tax of love. then he was described as the leader of the victory and in 2006 house on a so low was the leader of his will law that a father is what it said to 3 days war. and at the end, he announced his victory in this war and will seen by many in the audible and 11 on the very cut his messic and prevention lead up. then came the war and see the what was involvement. the controversy about over has been lost and how people became divided over my fellows. got access also was left for to the uh, the needs internal conflicts. hyphen muscle also became controversial. nathan, on iraq, the fight against isis has been lost. the force of the, uh, the b m,

use the mx and in the rock as well as wanting him. and so it wasn't only about the house on the front of the lead that often if any is visible it was how sudden the from the lead this off an axis that's a extends from lab and on to it off to see it. yes, to 2 young men and his own influence, his got his magic got active. his speech is that many thoughts he was. busy one of those who know how to rage a psychological warfare with a change of leadership value. obviously they're going to be uh, there's gonna be a lot of speculation about whether that's going to lead to a, a change of strategy for hezbollah. but obviously also how has the ball it presents itself to the rest of the world, given what you were saying about us on the style of being the public face of hezbollah?

absolutely. now that is something that has lies in front of it, of cross thoughts, who is going to be, how something us all a successor. there are many names, of course, and we don't know right now who is going to be the mind and the shoes of to follow whether it's going to be his deputy and i'm costs and what it's going to be. the chief of the executive branch hash and stuffy dean was all so i saw you themselves . so these are big questions. why the same time? the big question here, the bigger question is, what is the direction that says well, lives going to take over the past? yes, hezbollah and the, for a lot with being described even by that life was by the enemies as a russian player. and he showed a lot of pragmatism when it came to folks to negotiations today is over in the region and 11 on now with the beginning of several of the chain of command and has the law with the killing of the hands of his beloved. those who are going to succeed, no flaw as to succeed, the commanders who, what

a kid might be driven with revenge. and over here with thoughts, seeing that the 11th of pragmatism, the level of a russian now is going to decrees. and i do. those are going to be in charge, especially that whatever is happening old, what has been happening. the series of assistant nations were taking place in the middle of the war. so there is a fee at the right now for them to revenge, to reflect this new direction. i'm just thoughts, gaining their own legacy from the beginning by taking good eventually has started, can lead the holiday. thank you very much. indeed. i, the harsh them talking to us from they weren't was very honest folks. parsons on a holiday, said the leveling of several buildings in a densely populated part of battle. something the suburbs was justified because of his father's presence a house on a saw the leader of an evo,

terrorist organization. the senior terrorist eliminated with him and the central headquarters were legitimate military target under international and ms rela, intentionally bill chris butler central headquarters under residential buildings, industrial b route. because the spotlight intentionally use us let the nice civilians as human shields. i started back, i was enjoying this capital, and that's because these really governments bond offices 0 from reporting inside israel. it's a great deal has been happening over the last several hours. what is israel saying? the yeah. scenario statements there, the latest daniels rigari, the spokesperson, the army saying that the world is now a safer place. uh, an issue, an update to his release of civilian saying that those in the north need to stay close to shelters. those in the south need to stay close to shelters and the

gathering of over a 1000 people in the center of israel. that includes that these are not allowed because of the security situation. other than that, the situation remains as normal. we also heard from her, so you had to be the army chief of staff. he said that there are challenging days ahead, but that our troops are ready. and he also said that had the solar wanted to destroy israel and we killed him. and we will only get stronger. israel has always seen hezbollah, ad house on this, on the, as it's presented it as an ex, essential stretch. this is always the narrative of israel, of the political excellence of benjamin netanyahu. when it comes to how mass, when it comes to hezbollah, these are an ex, essential, stretched israel's existence. so certainly it's calm, is a major victory in israel. it's a group that has been reporting throughout the day, how secretive they are, how they operate, how protect it, has signed this role. and his movements would have been so

a major victory for israel certain what they've achieved of the last you know, couple of weeks and a major victory. but it also seems to be celebrated in israel's media as well as seems to be quite a ton to run for benjamin netanyahu was only within the last several days that he was. although his big popularity was beginning to rise, he was still struggling to get back that mantle of mister security that he built his career on yes, mister security, everybody knows him. is mister security to get a snatch anyhow? who sells himself? is there any man can keep his reason israel safe? which is why october the 7th. with such an image shot touring movement for him and one that many, many people thought she would never recover from. well, that's not the case. certainly, since the war on has by law, he's popularity has started to go up. the latest poll just 2 days ago, putting him as the highest polling since october, the 7th. we don't know what the numbers are off to the confirmation of this

assassination, but i think we can believe that they will be higher this morning before the confirmation. even waking up to one of the headlines saying mr. security is back. i think certainly we think he's going to be landing in the next couple of hours from new york. i do believe he will probably not go to bed before making a statement. this is a been meant us victory for him. one he has been waiting for and there momentous times and changes in the middle east. stephanie, thank you very much. indeed. the stephanie decker talking to us from i'm on this is, here is a senior fellow at the economy, middle east central. he's joining us from david, so thank you very much indeed for being with us. one of the significant motivations of this latest round of attacks by israel had been a part of the day to try to change the the order if you like, within uh, within the region. and yet i'm seeing quotes from the gun clinic. i and all the

other company obviously started forgive me in iraq and saying that he moans, not house on this, all of bothering but the fight will continue the the who is using you haven't seen similar things has bought out. of course, the saying it will continue on and fight. how's this actually, or could this actually buy a bug fire on benjamin netanyahu? and there's really another tray, and it's really is may end up being less safe rather than more safe a? well, that's a good question and of course goes to the heart of the issue here, which is what else is video in this case? prime minister, not to now really want to be end of all this. because 1st of all, because well, it's not going to disappear. and i think nothing that is there has done so far will make that happen. and i don't think has been, has any intention of invading 11. i'm certainly not maybe beyond the border area in order to route jobs, basically what's left of as a,

as well as capabilities and infrastructure and sort of key commanders and so. so that leaves us with the question, then what does victory look like from israel's perspective? on the assumption of the, the end of all this, there will remain a, it has above which may be diminished, which may be, you know, so the blinking is was but we'll give it to be seek to replenish and rebuild on the wrong is having basically shown that they're not going to step into savings, their ally, and their proxy. that doesn't mean that they are still planning a long game under their exercising. what you might call strategic patience, which is we're getting hit hard. we've got to have to roll with the blows. but at the end of this, we're going to rebuild and keep up the pressure. now, in all of this, there's one question. i think this is the crux of the matter has been from the start for his video as well as he started talks by the americans. will his butler dealing a ceasefire and loving them from getting

a ceasefire in gaza and latino cannot for a number of reasons and or will not give a ceasefire. and guys a because that poses challenges to what are these are these leave altogether or stay and somehow making tennessee's fireball staying inside gaza. that's a really complicated thing. and he's really is need to disconnect garza from lebanon. so the real question is, is, has the bowling already? i did the link to say we go for it to start, because we'll pretty much know what the terms of disease for our loved one would look like. it's more or less a re return to the un security council resolutions. so going to, you know, one of the 2006 just various, you know, the requirements. so we sort of know what we haven't game would look like if it was only about 7. i'm going to do about his bi line, israel willis, butler keeps fighting or not for linkage with guys. i think that is probably the single remaining question and i'm not convinced yet that i'm the is there any

strategy has secured that outcome because it's a psychological thing which is to persuade, as above willingly to say ok, we've got enough. we're stopping here. i don't think we're going to see that you're an advisor negotiated out of policy planet and for the palestinian delegation to the peace talks with israel in 19912002. can you talk to us about the differences in the, the tension, the differences in the situation that we're seeing now are compared to what you have experienced in the past. and if there is any possibility. but what we learned at that point in the past could be brought to bear on this. as i've done those, those aren't, they started to precedents or experiences. i would go, i would love to partner because of that time they were genuine commitments on both sides. genuine people were genuine, committed to a peace process post on posting, and i don't use very side of the word of the outlines of a doable deal of business,

24 years on from then from. but we're known as the final state is peace talks. when i was a policy planner in 1999 and onwards and um, we're, we're in the world that's going, you know, in a different direction, right wing, rising fascism, neo nazis and east germany, pride claims previous militias in the united states. this is a different world and this is the world of someone like denton. yeah. who is deliberately aiming for it? these are as natural allies because there also is natural allies at home. so i think that the bigger analogy, or the better analogy you feel like is actually previous wars such as 1967. when the egyptian leader at the time walked himself into a crisis, he had no intention of going to war with israel. but create circumstances which allowed israel to launch a preemptive surprise attack that was overwhelming, the consequences of which we live and still live with today. so cause of all has been don't that kind of go for like a different person,

not the lawsuit. after $67.00, he pings taking you to rebuild egypt and not for service. i conducted a war of attrition along so was cut out until he could regain what he regarded as strategic parity with his veil. in preparation for what i'll do to the ultimately became our counter attack of 1973. so we'll be in a position to rebuild and then potentially resume the kind of pressure i guess is or that the soul is presented for now. it looks like its credibility has been badly tempted, its capabilities have been body dumped and they may simply not something you know, i agree to a ceasefire. at this point. nothing is rarely terms any way, in which case, whether they are weakened or not, becomes wound because even weakened. uh, they still compel israel to maintain the military campaign is where it is a good position to do so about the american administration is lame duck, will do nothing to prevent his railing on,

on the country so far as activity assisting it financially. i'm an attorney with the american presidential election. we either have donald trump come in, who notes in, you know, in regards to now i will allow him to do whatever he needs or come out of harris will come in. and i think that to no use that the, the, the non stop strands of further expansion or come to us till the season lebanon in order to trigger a confrontation with the wrong as leverage over the next us president. saying if you don't allow me to my marginal maneuver, whether you like me or not, whether we're close our eyes or not, we could pull you into or you don't want. so i think nothing l as in this position where as long as the volume is ongoing, he has a leverage. will there come a time when his butler has maintained its contra taxes wrong to tax puny as they may be? if they can maintain this for months and months and months and the situation and guys are still and then this conflict will start thinking about history. unless you

have another case that mentally state that isn't a permanent war like serial, like iraq or live your young or sued. um, it's a very different case is just very different country. but this, this concept of the name of this war with a political setup that is in here stable i think is going to be where is it will be we down the line. if the current mode of dealing with everything has made it to problem and refusing the political problems of, is there a solution to the palestine conflict without which there's not going to be much of one which has blown up and there's a tire. and i think there is room the officers started wants to pursue. yes, it's a senior fellow at the economy, middle east center, so thank you very much indeed. a thank you. ron supreme leader, i telecom a has called the muslims around the world to confront israel often and kidding of hoss on the spot in the stipend. he said the fate of this region will be decided by the resistance forces with caused molar at the head. the people of lebanon have not

forgotten that once upon a time, the military of the user being regime used to occupy all the way to be route, and what size of all of the cut off their legs, and made 11 on proud. it's a blanket check for almost lunch this time, probably with the people of lebanon and his ball, with their resources and help them confront these dropping crew and evo, raising. feel free to study as a journalist, and he's joining us live not from chuck ron. obviously on the sidelines of all of this, but fairly close to the sidelines is the position of iran and its connections to hezbollah. and as we've been talking about over the last few hours, what influence, if any, iran is prepared to or can bring on his brother to try to medium mediation? i suppose it's responds in order to not a lot of things to escalate as well. so far, the entire tense by the uranium is on the basis of the escalate the situation. but

it seems that these relays are trying to bang through as the direct the entire rest asia on the verge or into a full fledged old lot more scenario and uranian supreme. neither i to le, harmony is pretty much a beer of this insatiable desire by these release to expand about those. so she mentioned that due to their failure and the guys now they are trying to expand this battlefield to, to, to 11 on. and you know, and there is this perspective in iran that palestine was not the 1st to stop and it's, it's not the last to stop for his release if they have this expression that's the approach. people anticipate further escalation further attacks for their aggressive behavior by his release. this is something that we are hearing these days into or on, in addition to the latest to statements. first and foremost,

the one from the reigns supreme, either who conveyed a clear message of solidarity and asked for consensus among mazda in countries to react. that, of course, does not all meet the possibility of a sort of independence reaction from the rain in 5 knowing the fact that iran has faced a lens. the list of holstein behaviors from these really redeem when it comes to the assets, nation of uranium military advisor and celia. when it comes to the attack on the cause, let's argue wrong in syria vented constitute cyber attacks. the nation of the top. look, they are scientists, and this is a very lens, the list of aggressive behaviors that these rallies are conducting cabin, conducting the gays to run. and it's, it's by itself provides a sufficient justification for iran to get involved in that already complicated situation by this still be known that patience is the name of the game pricked practiced by you wrong. the strategy precision is

a key part of concern here. knowing the fact that iran sees it as the most on the cms scenario to, to drag the entire list asia into a full fledged old. lots for this is not something you radians are interested is still, there is this emphasis in iran that in case any scenario happens, it happens there is a full fledged readiness for that. but coming to the latest developments on the ground, including the tragic assets nation of his blah, $63.00, general v. know that you don't consider it as something that lays beard the truth about the aggressive nature of these really redeem and added to that is the emphasis in iran regarding the complexes of this events. they can see they're the west and the united states in particular as a clear accomplice for that. they're trying to grasp the attention of the world to this clear fact that the united states is constantly extending its full fledged

support to the is really redeemed by this cops. the phones when it comes to weaponry and when it comes to diplomatic affairs and so on and on and on. but it's still, i think you're on in long term considered. busy as a game changing factor, that is going to change things, but not for the benefit of his release, for a couple of points. first, the organization of the strength of his belie that wasn't insisted in the previous statement of the supreme leader. second is the fact that now there is a, a, in the emphasis by iran on the continuation of this support be. we'll see most probably a sort of more extensive support that there are is going to provide it on the run is not going to leave his the law or other players in the resistance front, defeated or left alone. and this is one point that we have to take into consideration. one last point i wanted to add is that has below, has got this is structural dynamics that it has got this historical background in this regard back in time, in 1992. so the boss, most of the,

the sick hunsicker things are all of his beloved was estimated with the same uh, let's say, uh, action that was conducted by these really is we see this continuation of to reject 3 or 4 started behaviors by the still, it's re. ready sauce to the point that here's the law for the past 32 years under the leadership of federal fund, national that was capable of to rebuild itself. and for the years down the road for the mazda is down to the. busy there is no doubting around that, it's going to be able to rebuild itself and gets back to the bottom of both ends in longer on it's can see there is a high just as a boy, easy to get mission interrupting you. but thank you very much indeed for your time . take it on surprise it as most of the position again says the us cannot deny complicity in this process coming. how's it go? haine is joining us live from washington d. c. as was the case when israel was carrying out his war on gaza, which of course is still ongoing. a lot of attention is being paid on how the us is

reacting to this. so we hearing and think about what's been happening with regard to these latest events. well, obviously the us decision is incredibly important because it is supplying israel with the weapons. it needs to continue its conduct so far. absolutely no reaction from the bottom administration. the president is at his beach home and we're homeless in delaware. it's not to say that he couldn't speak to the media. there are always cameras nearby, but it doesn't look. but as of right now, like journalists are going to have access to any of the key players. now the one thing we've heard from the, as, as these attacks are soon after these attacks folks, people came out and they all have the same line. they said the us was not involved in this attack. it did not help with this attack. it did not have pre warning about this attack. that the pentagon, they said the secretary of defense was informed as the attack was on going by his counterpart in a phone call. now we were able to ask them, is this an escalation? we just heard the secretary of defense lloyd,

austin said that no one in this conflict of should escalated. they said they wouldn't even call this an escalation. they said they were assessing it at the time . so how is the us likely to re ass? well, we're into almost a year of war, and so far, we have not seen the by the ministration publicly criticize, or trump probably try to rain in israel in any way. so let's go back through the history the 40. so i was more than 40000 dead and gaza. the us didn't react. israel withholding humanitarian aid, which should have triggered all sorts of sections under us law. the us simply denied that israel was stopping humanitarian aid. the red line for the president was the invasion of roughly the israel is invaded, rasa the assassination of the hum off political leader in around the killing of has full of leaders in love. it on before does attack no response. the only thing we saw the by the ministration do was with whole 2500 pounds bombs,

but eventually gave in on the 500 pound bombs again. so the us for, for it's part all it says over almost a year is that israel has a right to defend itself. and that the military is in position of the us military to try and deter any attacks on israel. past me. thank you very much. indeed, patrick, i'll hang talking to us from washington. dc is targeted as well as leadership over the last few months, more, more recent plate, several strikes and be root of training. the lives of several senior leaders among them are able to him a cube people's the head of has about the operations on the come on the, on the road one for seems killed on the 20th of september. for shortcut was a finding member of his ball as on during the highest ranking military commander. he was killed in bed, roots loving them. on the 30th of july, they brought him hobbies he was head of as well as miss file and walk it forth. he was killed in his really s like.
