welcome to spotlight. the secretary general of the uh hezbollah resistance movement say hasan nasolah has warned that all options are on the table, should uh the israelis think of attacking lebanon. he says the prime goal of the resistance is ending the israeli onslot on gaza and to ensure the victory of the resistance front. he also said israel cannot achieve its stated goals against the resistance and the final victory belongs to palestinians. joining us on tonight.

spotlight we have julia cost journalist and political analyst joining us from the lebotes capital beirot, we also have journalists and political analist elijah magneer who's joining us from brussels. welcome to the program to our guests, let's start off with miss cosim in the lebanese capital beirout. give us your thoughts uh initial. on uh the comments made by uh leader of hezballah sayid hasan nasrullah regarding uh the level of involvement of the lebanese resistance front uh if this war continues in his own words, sayid hasan nasa said all options are on the table, so uh this war this uh speech cleared up lot of misconceptions, it cleared up misconceptions that... um, nastrella's speech

was supposed to be this uh, green light for an all-out involvement into a regional war that would explode into a world war 3 type scenario, which is what some people were uh expecting, but uh directly address this, nasralah reaffirmed that hamas is the lead of in this latest operation that began october 7th um and basically uh confirmed that while there is coordination amongst all arms of the in resistance access um the uh the palestinian resistance um acted independently just as he had reaffirmed in past speeches that the in lebanese resistance acts independently according to uh their own conditions circumstances um independent of iran again debunking the uh the allegations made in western media uh days after the october 7th لا operation. in taking initiative in in

provoking the the october 7th operation. no, he afirmed that this was entirely uh independent. however, he did uh say that if american provocation should extend, if the assault on gaza continues and if the hazballah, lebanese resistance is needed or if the uh the the territorial and the political integrity of lebanon is. threatened by the zinius entity to that extent, they would intervene, but again this is at the this would be at the request of the palestinian resistance, which already has a great hand on the situation, um, so again that was emphasized that the hazballah's involvement is conditional upon um the the position of the palestinian resistance which is already doing... huge progress on the

ground and designers entities unable uh to to match it um nasralah's uh warnings though that all options on the table were directed more at the americans, the americans who have materially enabled the genocide and the assault on gaza uh to continue and to get to the extent where we have over 9,00 civilian casualties um again because the science anthony cannot match up to hamas. the on the battlefield uh they've resorted to uh massakers after massacre of civilians um and with american uh reinforcement and backing uh which israel could not continue and cannot carry out alone um so nastrola sent a strong message in that regard um if you keep on uh if the americans keep on wanting to provoke while at the same time trying to tell faz to stay out of it. um to not uh make any any

escalations um they are prepared and this would be the existential complete end of designity let's bring in elijah magnia uh the discussion as well, mr. magnia, give us your thoughts on the recent statement made by said hasan asalah, one part of uh his statement was directed at the united states, uh, he said that if conflict erupts in the region, the us will be the biggest loser, its navy, its forces, its interests will pay the price. thank you for having me, above all, it is important to say that no country wages war - another or even a small group like uh hamas and the palestinian resistance without the full support financially and militarily. even israel with all its military might run to the united states to seek support, and this is

where joe biden said, we sending our carriers, they are allocated $14 million dollars to israel because it economy is in tatus. and also they sending ammunition through a bridge that going through europe and to israel to make sure that they can't continue bombing the civilians in gaza. therefore it makes the united states the first responsible, not only partner, but it is the first responsible for the war in gaza and again the killing of the civilians. moreover, when the americans threatened or announce. that are sending carrier to the middle east, the access of the resistance in iraq and syria immediately responded even less than an hour by bomb bombing the us bases in syria, in koniko, shadadi and in

iraq military base to say that we really don't care about all your support to israel, and we are going to do what we must do in support of... the palestinian people in gaza. therefore, the track against the americans, particularly when say said, we have prepared for you, he was referring to the surface to surface missile that we know israel in many occasion raised of having to for the initial objective to close the harbor of ash and hifa a in a case of war with israel, now as the carrier are in the militaryan, however the americans don't want to be involved directly a war with hezbollah, they have decided to be involved with the israelis in gaza without

attacking hizbullah in lebanon, and what they are doing, if they are limiting their attacks in syria, because the syrian president decided not to respond, but they not doing it in. for fear of the reaction of the iraqi resistance, and they're not doing it against hizbullah, because they know the capability, the military capability of hizballah in case the decision to retaliate again the americans and the israelis and sayid said something extremely important that i think it has escaped to so many people, when he said, those who attack you in 1982 are still their children and their... children alive, now he is here referring to something very specific and he was reading it out of paper in front of him, so it means he deliberately say that, and his message is in 1982, those who are today in hizbullah, so he is taking the

responsibility of attacking the marines and the us embacy and the are marines in lebanon, and there is a... embassy in lebanon, so have if ever the americans want to decide to attack hizbullah in lebanon, they are going to be a retaliation, like in 1982 when the americans were pushed out of lebanon and were pushed to flee the country. mr. magny, one of the uh the uh the key points that came out came up in the speech by hasan nasal was that talking about the operations, the alaska flood which... started on october the 7th, he said that the operations will have a great impact on the future of the israeli regime. now many experts pointed out uh the enhanced capabilities of the resistance front uh and the resistance forces based in gaza after the

uh operations were carried out, so uh basically do you think that the israelis will now start to feel less and less secure after these events? well there are many... dimensions to that sentence: first of all, hamas and the islamic, the palestinian resistance have created a state of uncertain in israel among the settle. that is equivalent to several atomic bombs and why i'm saying that is because 12000 settlers were dislocated from the settlement around the gaza in the gaza envelope, so it's around gaza within 20 to 40 kilometers, because first they feel they're not safe, secondly they feel the army can no longer protect them, second they feel the government no longer offer them security. now that is detrimental for the israeli settlers who came

from all over the world, because they were promised the land of the palestinians that is not there, and also there were promised above all the security and the protection. when they lose the security and protection and they see the army and the government cannot protect them, then there is no reason for them to remain, so the for the first time they have... had tent built in ilad (15000 tents) that the israelis never seen before, and they went there from the lebanese borders, 50,000 and from the envelope of gaza seeking refuge and internally displaced. what is the meaning of the israelis to remain in israel and create this nation that cannot be protected? that is point. the second point is more important than that, not. only the palestinian managed to come out and defeat the gaza division, defeating the army that

was terrorizing gaza for many years, face to face, killing 300 of them and capturing at least four generals, that means a lot because it means face to face the resistance has the strength to face this vulnerable army, because we heard lot about this invincible army, so they broke the image of... the israeli army, it's pride and it's the significance of its resistance of the presence, therefore now the israelis are left with the bombing, this is why they are bombing gaza from a far, this is why they have bombed with equivalent of 20,000 tons of explosives, this is what they are saying when an atomic bomb is equivalent to 15,000, and when they are afraid of advancing slowly into the north of gaza. afraid of engaging with the palestinian, from the first day they've lost 20 of 23 officers and soldiers and also

they advancing after carpet bombing all the civilian area, including the hospitals, so we understand that the image of israel has been broken into pieces and this is why the the the israelis are behaving so brutally in a genocidal way against the... palestinian civilians because they want to kill as many civilians as possible to turn the population against the palestinian resistance once the war is going to end, however they not going to achieve their promised objectives to liberate all the captives and to eliminate hamas. julie, hopefully you've got you back, now we can go back to the question uh that we had for you earlier about uh comments made by that the us is responsible for the bloodshed, please elaborate on that for us. yeah, so uh,

us imperialism, it's the primary material contradiction, not only in theory, but in the practice, definitely ways out, plays out in in the in the arab world and in how um, the lebanese resistance and the the alsimi resistance are engaged. um against the science uh so so designity could not um all of its weapons all of its armaments, all of its uh tools and funding that's used to wage this uh brutal genocide against gaza is are through american weapons um as it was mentioned americans they don't want to be directly engaged against nor risk that um the zin entity does not want to directly engage with hamas um so uh just these large uh

destructive us weapons in order to create mass destruction um just is the strategy less uh approach here all right let's go back to mr uh elijah magnia uh in brussels uh uh mr magn one issue that has uh uh it's a lot of been. lot of attention and lot of focus is the issue of accountability, there has to be consequences for the crimes that the israelis are committing, just earlier today, a convoy of ambulances was bombed by the israelis outside the al-shifa hospital. journalists are being targeted. 38 journalists have been killed since this war uh started. uh, what about the the accountability for these crimes? what about the issue of consequences that the israels should face with regards to

all the death and destruction uh that they've laid upon the ghaza strip, given the unequivocal support. the likes of the united states, how can this status quo ever change? it can't, the israelis killed 101,000 palestinians since 1948 until today, they have taken the land and gave 2% of palestine to the israel, to the palestinians in gaza and in the west bank, and every day they break into the west bank and they bomb gaza, all they surround gaza. everyday the violation of the right of the palestinians, when the german government came out for the first time and said the israelis as an occupation force has the obligation to defend the occupied palestinians. now when secretary general, the united nations secretary general

antonio guterres came out and said this is not the question of the 7th of october, it is question of 50 years of injustice against the palestinians, he was asked to resign, why? because there is no accountability for what israel is doing, because israel belonged to the american club and its allies where everything is permitted, going to afghanistan, destroy afghanistan, spending $2.3 trillion dollars, killing hundreds of thousand, going to iraq, invade iraq against the united nations resolution and killing the... 1 million iraqi going to syria, going to libya, all that in violation of international laws and human right, committing crimes against humanity, and there is no accountability, so we do not expect for israel to be accountable, because it everything is permitted for israel under the term of defending itself, where according to

the law, arias sharon 2001 said israel is occupation force, it was later reinforced by the israeli government and saying we are an occupation force, and an occupation force has no right to defend itself, the occupier, according to united nations charter article 4, has a right to defend itself against the occupation forces. nevertheless always the occupier is blamed and the occupation forces are supported by the international community because it belongs to the same club, so if you are under the umbrella of the united states, everything is permitted, and there is no accountability to expect, so uh, based on what you just said, we go, we turn uh again to comments made in tonight's speech by said hasan, that resistance is the only viable

option left for palestinians, please elaborate on that for us, that is definitely a notion, that has been echoed by experts time and time and again that uh resistance right now is the only viable option for palestinians. mr. magny, that was for you. yes, thank you. well, it is not the word of sralla, it is the word of the united nations that permit the resistance that to be the only option against the occupation forces. if we take. the german nazi occupied europe and came to france and belgium and all the european countries, they had the right to attack and kill and defeat the occupation forces, that that the united nation gave this right to the resistance, it is exactly the same right of the palestinians in palestine,

this is why expressed itself in this way to say, this is our right. defend ourself, and this is what lebanon is doing when is defending its occupied territory in on the border on the lebanese borders. okay, thank you, mr. magnet, let's get final thought in from miss julia cossim, before we wrap up the show, miss cossim, give us your thoughts uh on the matter that we were just talking about as the resistance being the only viable option left for palestinians right now, one that was very important point that it's enshrined in the... un charter as uh, every occupied uh nation has a right to resist, every occupied people has a right to resist, um, but also it's not just a uh a point of morals, but it's a point of material necessity. one, a, occupying power like the zinest entity has only um, has only

established itself by violent force, and as we can see throughout its history to today, to the expansion of the illegal settlements, it does not operate any sort of law, whether that's religious law, whether that's liberal, humanitarian, international law, it's completely un in a law context of lawnness, establishes itself and advance its interest by um by war crimes, it's it's it's a living continuous war crime, so armed resistance becomes an absolute necessity when the demands of the palestinians and the uh the strategy of the the palestinians and all those oppresss and by thesin entity um have uh failed diplomatically you know the attempts to to to engage with this issue diplomatically constantly time and time have

again have failed uh arabs and the palestinians forced into concessions that ultimately benefit the west and benefit the zijn sentity um so and you know israel continued its war times that has been the course of history since 1948 resistance is the only material solution um in addition into diplomatically en trigned right. okay, thanks lot, that's all the time we have for tonight's show. journalists and political analist julia costam joining us from the lebanese capital beirout and journalist and political analyst elijah magnia joining us from brussels a special thanks to you our viewers for staying with us on tonight spotlight. it's goodnight for now and see you next time.
