of of 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 it stated goals against the resistance and the final victory belongs to palestinians. joining us on. spotlight we

have julia cosan journalist and political analyst joining us from the lebaties capital beiroute and we also have journalists and political anos elijah magneer who's joining us from brussels. welcome to the program to our guests let's start off with uh miss kossim in the lebanese capital bayrut uh give us your thoughts uh uh and initially on 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 said hasan nasula said all options are on the table so uh this war this uh speech uh cleared up lot of misconceptions it cleared up misconceptions that um nastrella 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 expecting but nasralla directly addressed this uh nasralah reaffirmed that uh hamas is the lead of in this latest operation that began october 7th um and basically uh reaffirmed that while there is coordination amongst all arms of the resistance access um the uh the palestinian resistance um acted independently just as he had reaffirmed in past speeches that the lebanese resistance acts independently in 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. operation in uh taking

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

ground and design entities unable uh to to match it um nasaralah's warnings though that all options on the table were directed more 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 on the battlefield, they've resorted to uh massakers after massacre of civilians um and with american uh reinforcement and back 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, if the americans keep on wanting to provoke, while at the same time trying to tell faz to stay out of it, warn to not make any any

escalations, they are prepared, and this would be the existential complete end of designity. let's bring in elijah magnia. on the discussion as well, mr. magnia, give us your thoughts on the recent statement made by said hasan asalah, one part of uh his uh statement was directed at the united states, uh, he said that if conflict erupts in the region, the us will be the biggest loser, uh, 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 ' on 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 tatters. and also they sending ammunition through a bridge through 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 against the killing of the civilians. moreover, when the americans uh threatened or announced 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. 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... a in a case of war with israel, now as the carrier are in the militarian, however the americans don't want to be involved directly in 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 attack in syria, because the syrian president decided not to respond, but they not doing it. iraq 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 hizbullah in case the decision to retaliate. again the americans and the israelis and say naslah 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 grandchildren 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 said 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 embassy and the are marines in lebanon, and there is a us embassy in lebanon, so have if ever the americans want to decide to attack hizbullah in lebanon, there are going to be a retaliation, like in 1982 when the american were pushed out of lebanon and were pushed to flee the country. mr. magnia, one of the uh the key points that came out came up in the speech by uh was that talking about the operations, the 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 the enhanced. 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 in israel among the... settlers, that is equivalent to several atomic bombs and why i'm saying that is because 120,000 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 can 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 theirs and also they 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 the... they had tent built in ilat 15000 tents that the israelis never seen before and they went there from the lebanese borders 5000 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. the israeli army, it's pride and it's the significant of its resistant 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 the promised uh objectives to liberate all the captives and to eliminate hamas. julie cossem, uh, 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 said hasannaso that the us is responsible for the bloodshed. please elaborate on that for us. yeah, so uh us imperialism is the

primary. material contradiction, not only in theory, but in practice definitely ways out, plays out in in the in the arab world and in how um the lebanese resistance and the the palistiny resistance are engaged um against the science, so so design sensity could not um all of its weapons, all of its armaments, all of its 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 the law nor risk that um the design entities does not want to directly engage with hamas um so uh just these large destructive us weapons in order

to create a sense of mass destruction um just as strategius uh approach here. all right, let's go back to mr. elijah magnia uh in brussels. mr. mar, one issue that has uh it's a lot of been getting lot of attention and lot of focus is the issue of accountability. there has to be consequences for the crimes that the israelies are committing. just earlier today, uh, a convoy of ambulance. was bombed by the israelis outside the al-shifa hospital. journalists are being targeted. 38 journalists have been killed since this war uh started, 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 of the likes 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 the surround. gaza, every day, 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, united nations secretary general

antonio guteres came out and said, this is not the question of the 7th of october, it is. is a 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 belong 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 the one 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 an 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 uh comments made uh in tonight's speech by uh 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 saying. 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 - defeat the occupation forces, that that the united nations 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 to defend ourselves, 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 uh 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 nation has a right to resist, every occupied people has a right to resist, um, but also it's not just a... a point of morals, but it's a point of material necessity, one occupying power like design entity has only um, has only established

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

have again have failed uh arabs and the palestinians forced into concessions that ultimately uh benefit the west and benefit designity um so and you know israel continuing its war crimes that has been the course of history since 1948 resistance is the only material solution um addition to diplomatically entryd right. okay, thanks lot, that's all the time we have for tonight's show. journalist and political analist julia cosum 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. a blinding flash a white light lit up the sky

over gaza tonight, people running for cover, not knowing whether they're dead or alive, they came with their tanks and their planes. with ravaging firy flames and nothing remains, just the voice rising up in the smoky haze, we will not go down in the night without a fight, you can burn up our musks and our homes and our schools, but our spirit will never die. we will not go down in gaza tonight, women and children. like murder and

massacre night after night, while the so-called leaders of countries a far, debate it on who's wrong or right, but their powerless words were in vain, and the bombs fell down like acid rain, but through the tears and the blood and the pain, you could still. clear that voice through the smoky haze, we will not go down in the night without a fight, you can burn up our masks and our homes and our schools, but our spirit will never die, we will not go down a gaza tonight.

we will not go down in the night without a fight, you can burn up our masks in our homes and our schools, but our spirit will never. to die, we will not go down in the night, without a fight, we will not go down, guys are tonight.
