duty to help the palestinian people. over 700 children murdered, this type of fatality is truly hard to absorb, but that is what israel has done with us bombs and support, including european officials. as europeans and people from all walks of life have poured onto the streets in solidarity with palestinians, the great divide between them and their politicians and leaders has become even more evidence that they are supporting an israeli regime and its massacres. meanwile incidents in the opt, the

occupied palestinian territories have increased, which could be another front that israel has to deal with. this top of the evacuation orders that israel has announced for 1 million palestinians to leave northern gaza strip, into the southern part of the gaza strip, the move condemned by many palestinians and persian gulf arab countries. first let me introduce our guests for this edition of the spotlight. khalid khadumi, the hamas representative here in iran joins us. from tehran. also sayid mussan abbas a journalist and political commentator, joins us from london. i'll first start with you. um, i can't help but start out with the unfortunate humanitarian stat that has still rattled the cages of anybody who has any type of emotion or sense within their psychy, and that is the fact that you have 700 children that are that have been murdered. israel says that it tries to prevent civilian casualties.

believe israelim, thank you for having me, who believes israel, except those barbaric super forces in the world, top of them is the blinking and so-called democratic, democrat government in united states of america, this massacre, mass massacre has been perpetrated during the presence of the american foreign secretary yesterday, in tel avib, while the israeli army has thrown leaflets over the people threatening them to move forcefully from their places, our people, they are deep rooted in our homeland in palestine, so they did not listen, but unfortunately some of innocent humans, they moved from a house of of of to other house in the in the next street. according to this threatening, the

result was massacre by created by the bombardment of israeli criminal army and at that time we we received 70 marties and more than 250 injured because of that thing, this is the actual face of israel, israel is an entity which has been initiated based on fabricated narratives and life. yes, uh, the news that i want to uh recite to you say musas, is uh, about the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who visited the israeli regime forces on the front line, on the border frontline, and uh, this is what he said, are you ready for what is coming, more is coming, when turning to reporters, uh, what uh, does that say about the face of the of israele regime? well it says that they are

they are infanticidal maniacs, they're ethnic cleansing, they've been doing that for decades and decades, there's a genocidal tinge to everything that they do, they want to depopulate it seems, that's the that's the uh the track record of this this regime, and now you've got the worst iteration ever seen with some of the most diabolically right-wing fascist um zionists that you can imagine, i mean the whole movement is is that way, but if you could imagine it getting any worse, well you've got it with the the present government's makeup, now you know in fantacide, i don't use words like this lightly, when you listen to the idea, the the the figures, six 700 plus children bombed, you know, at least if you like half the total number, 1900 you've quoted so far and of counting, um are also women, actually women

and children, what else do you want me to say, infanticide is exactly what uh benjamin netan yahu was talking about when he was reving up his kind of uh his storm troopers, and this is basically exactly out of almost like a hollywood movie, that's where he seems to be playing out his this nightmarish reality for for palestinians, because they are they are the uh, the galactic empire which literally wants to smash the smith renes, this oppressed uh people, i mean they don't can't even stand them being there uh in any shape and form by the looks of things now, so uh yeah that's basically egged on by the americans and by the... zinist uh empire itself, so these people really, what can one say? i mean, they were not so long agoping on about how the palestinians weren't into the idea of two-states solution and they weren't being peaceful, or you know all these kind of these kinds of nonsense red hairings that

they kept the palestinians dangling with, and now the first time that they've actually had the fist of the palestinian resistance, hit them, uh, they seem to be uh going genocidal even more, sure. well khalid, what has happened uh, which is in a sense extraordinary, uh, we had the hamas political chief come and make statements on uh, what has occurred, and basically praising the palestinians who did not heed the uh warning for that evacuation from the north to the southern part of the ghaza strip, and you have countries that actually have come out and uh supported the fact that this should not happen, there's comparisons being made to another second into father and that... stated are not going to give up their land, this is their land, why should they pick up from their land and go somewhere else? um, but for the countries to come out and support them in that way, what does that say about what appears to be defeat for israel in terms, at

least up to this point in terms of what it has requested the palestinians to do? actually, this is the second appearance for ismail hanyer since 7th of october and they in both... his speech, he was drafting milestones in the confrontation against the israeli enemy, today he came with few important concepts, one is the call for our people not to listen to the threatening and fabricating story by the enemy, because yesterday it was evident that the enemy cannot be believed. second, he called upon the international community to prevent the... forced transfer of our people from their homeland because this will not be allowed. third is to appreciate the stance of egyptian to refuse to to make new era of refugees and displacement of our people, that that that is

very against the international law and against the values of... humanity fourth and and most important emphasize the stead fastness of our people, you know our masses yesterday and friday along with the masses in the muslim ummah and in the streets of the world, they marched after juma prayers to express the solidarity with palestine, but our masses in gaza, yesterday in during the bombardment they came in. marches in order to cherish the resistance leaders in order emphasize that they are rooted in this land and they will not allow new transfer and new displacement, so they were deserving to be appreciated and to be and to be respected by

the leader of resistance, ismail hannah, and last point is message for the for the enemy that they're threatening to... the resistance is futile, because the resistance movement, soldiers, they have endorsed, they have created a new book in the confrontation saga in front of this barbaric enemy, while their achieve through their achievements in the field, through the achievements politically, through achievements and their narrative internationally even that we are, still in a defensive state under the biggest crime against humanity, that is the occupation, so toufansa, the flood of al-aqsa will swipe this enemy and this occupation. our guests are talked about these solidarity rallies,

saying abbas where you're at was one of the biggest uh with the drone shots that we saw block after block of what seemed to be hundreds of thousands that came out and uh this was also... scene seen around the world, which is a reflective, if you agree, of the great divide that exists now between the people and their officials, wherever they are who are supporting the israeli regime. tell us how significant and that is, the fact that so many people turned up and shut such short notice tells you that people emotionally are with the palestinian cause, no matter how many trillions the zionist regime and their allies in the west spend, and they they spend an awful lot of money in terms of false propaganda and running all these kind of psychological operations to try and persuade their public that that what they're doing is is right and that the oppressor is the oppressed, that's being the target. i mean, i'll give you story, my son goes on cartoons

time with various youtube videos, every half an hour, less than half an hour, there's a new version of zionist propaganda aimed at children, i mean it's shocking, that's the level that they've gone to, that they will try to indoctrinate people, yet still what you're seeing is millions and millions of people around the world turn out and go with their their hearts and go with the their humanity, and this is... key, what we're not just fighting for here is palestinians and their right to uh to to to existence, this is a question of humanity. i mean, what kind of civilization are we really looking for in the 21st century? we're meant to be moving forward, and here we got neoliberal, neoconservative zionists, trying to uh tell us that settler colonialism and imperialism of of the medieval times and onwards is okay, well it's not okay, and the public is saying this right across the board and yes, testing does have an impact, the politicians do get a little bit more scared, but infrastructure

you've got to understand is systemically geared towards supporting israel, it is systemically zionist, you listen to people like kier starma even the opposition guy here, rishi sunnak here in britain, they literally uh, you know, bow at the feet of zionist interests and they dare not say anything, because the minute they do, they will be out of office, more can be done though, i have to say that uh, you know, this is a jihad, and jihad comes with bill galam, with the pen, with the voice, with your uh, with your your general demena, with your attitude, in in terms of the charity you give towards the oppressed, there are many more ways that the public can be encouraged to to support the palestinian cause. well, the iranian foreign minister, i'm sure you're aware khalid kadumi, has been a regional tour and he has met uh the resistance groups in particular hezbollah. and uh he said uh, but this is going back number of hours ago that there's still maybe time to prevent the

israeli uh killing machine from continuing its killings, he didn't use that word, but he said time is running out. uh, he did also say hezbollah and resistance fighters are ready, which he called could be a political quake, if they were drawn into the war, and uh, to use his words, uh, they have their hand uh on the their finger is on the trigger to shoot. how close are we to that? well, israel left no places without enmity, they bombarded through the sovereign borders, they violated those borders, they assassinated scientists in tunisia, in malaysia, in iran, in iraq, in, they they assassinated political figures in their in uniform. so the the hizbullah and other resistance movement and powers, they

are in the line of of defensing them defeat defensing themselves against those israeli atrocities. well, i would say that the field, the escalation in the field is the one who will judge the involvement or the expansion of this battle, according to. to the our spokes person of qassam brigade abu ubaydah, he was saying that we are inclose coordination with members of the resistance access, hence i would say that whenever it is required in the past, we haven't seen those friends, those brothers away from whatever it is needed, second thing in particular, they they have... marties today and in the southern of lubnan, hizbullah and lebanese

they have occupied territories by israeli criminal army, hence i mean this is this is very natural to be rather, not only hisballah, all muslim ummah in the borders has to come forward, those governments in the neighborhood of so... called israeli entity, they need to open their borders, they might be not asking the involvement of conventional army, but the people, the masses look at the million marches, they are all having their own potential to proceed further to do whatever they know to do, all what is needed from the official stance is to bridge this diat me, this this gap between them and official stands and the masses stands, the

masses today they want to take the revenge for the killing of our innocent. children inside palestine, they want to return aqsa, they want to return the asser palestine and back and return palestine to its own environment of muslim ummah, these martyd and and sacrifice being presented by the palestinian masses deserve different approach from the ummah at at masses. which they are doing their well, but also at the official stance level. all right, there's a warning issued by israel says to hezbollah, and this particular official uh said that should not start a war a second front to israel's north

and threaten the destruction of lebanon if it did. what what are we looking at when it comes to uh? this type of a warning which sounds like it's hot air in a sense because uh the us has also through the us president joe biden has said for regional countries not to take advantage of what's happening that in a sense shows that israel can't be stretched is that a correct uh um look at this i think the game changes significantly if israel has to fight on two fronts uh already hezbollah has been keeping them occupied uh morter attacks were changed, fire was exchanged today, missiles were exchanged, number of combatants have lost lives over the over the days, hezbollah has repeatedly put out message to the americans saying, you better not get involved, otherwise we're going to target your bases, and they've also said that they're in full readiness, the foreign minister of iran reported today that

sasrullah says that we're fully ready for any circumstance, and so many times the messages come from said to say that the israel's defense mechanisms are like a spider's web and the the the tofan has shown you that that web is not that strong and the reality is that if hezbula were to join rather than israel uh boasting about what it's going to do lebanon it should be looking very carefully at how it's going to be able even defend its own borders because the last two occasions as i recall it the lebanese hazbullah have given the israeli a jolly good trouncing, i mean they were able to hammer them recover tanks, they were able to use tactics and skills and and weaponry which would shocked the israelis into stopping their invasion of lebanon, and they had to go scuttling back with their tails between their legs, now how on earth has israel imagined that they can now do any differently, because

hazbullah is going to be 10 times stronger, it has it has potentially ballistic prison precision missile. it potentially has drones, it have potentially has all sorts of weaponry which maybe even the palestinian resistance itself hasn't got because they've been hemned in by these kind this concentration camp that they've created around gaza, and that's what it is, a concentration camp, the same jews who complained about the holost and concentration camps have done that to the palestinians, but now no more, there is a resistance and that there is weaponry and there is a military response and the israels are going to have to get to get used to. new new uh scenario. all right, and finally, um, when we take a look at some of the scenes, um, khalid al khadumi, of celebratory moods that were displayed by palestinians, like in lebanon, for example, a couple days back, maybe it's for the first time that uh, palestinians have a sense that liberation is

close, that they can sense that maybe the tide has turned, um, how close do you think uh, is that and whether that's wishful thinking or not? see the the backbone of this liberation track is the palestinian people, you know what, what, the type of the steadfastness and the advancement of the resistance of our people in palestine in west bank, in jerusalem, in in gaza, of course top them, it's legendary. i tell you, this is very serious. it is a golden opportunity for everyone to make this caravan of liberation move. move forward to whatever has been remain shortly remain to the to the to the liberation of palestine. our people in the

camps of lebanon, in syria, in jordan, they have seen that it is evident that we can do it and in a closed dire situation inside gaza of 265 square. kilometer with no capability of any life, those people could tried and they were able to confront this barbaric israeli which is undefeitable army used to be today, they created their own, they exploited the security weakness, the intelligence weakness and they did a lot, thank you very much, sorry to jump in, we're just fresh out of time, khalid kadumi, hamas representative in iran. spoke to us from tehran, thank you, and boss, journalist and political commentator from london, thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this edition of the spotlight from me cover tau and the team, it's goodbye.

the us economy is tied to waging new wars. arms manufacturing companies in the us have always been the winners of the wars. military contractors are the new phenomena to do the dirty work for the us military in other parts the world like iraq and afghanistan.

to occupy palestine, to expel palestinians from their homes and to kill them at will. they needed an excuse. so they call the land their own homeland overnight, ushering in a dark chapter in the history of the world, but shall the owners of the land return home, targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with a clear to cut off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating, with the winter coming, these are acts of pure terror,

and we have to call it as such.

your headlines for this hour, israel has killed more than 700 children in his ongoing onslot on the besieg gaza strip ammit muted response from his western allies. hamas political chief ismail hannie says israel's plot to evacuate gaza is doomed to fail as palestinians will not leave their homeland and the leader of iran's islamic revolution says the ongoing uprising against the israeli occupation is bound to succeed calling on all muslims to help palestinians.
