welcome to spotlight, the secretary general of the 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 israel thenslot on gaza and to ensure the victory of the resistance front. he also said israel cannot achieve its stated goals of... the resistance

and the final victory belongs to palestinians, joining us on tonight's spotlight, we have julia cost, journalist and political analyst joining us from the lebaties capital bay, we also have journalist and political analist elijah magneer who's joining us from brussels. welcome to the program to our guests, let's start off with miss cost. in the lebanese capital beirot uh give us your thoughts uh uh initially on uh in the uh comments made by uh leader of hezballah said hasan nasrulah regarding uh the level of involvement of the lebanese resistance front uh if this war continues in his own words. said 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 nastra'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 expecting, but nasralla directly addressed this nasralla reaffirmed that uh amas is the lead of in this uh this operation that began october 7th, and basically reaffirmed that while there is coordination amongst all arms of the resistance access um the uh the palestinian resistance acted independently just as he had reaffirmed in past speeches that the lebanese resistance acts independently according to uh their own conditions circumstances um independent of iran again debunking the uh the allegations of... in uh western media uh days after the

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

the palestinian resistance which is already doing huge progress on the ground and design entities unable to to match it. 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 9,000 of civilian. casualties um again because the science anthony cannot match up to hamas on the battlefield, they've resorted to massacres, after massacre of civilians and with american reinforcement and backing, which israel could not continue and cannot carry out alone, so nastrola sent a strong message in that regard, um, if you keep on, if the americans keep on one to provoke while

at the same time trying to tell faz to stay out of it, um warn 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 on the discussion as well, mr. magnia, give us your thoughts on the recent statement made by said hasan assalah. 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 military, 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 tatters 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... moreover, when the americans 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, ain asad 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 threat against the americans, particularly when say said, we have prepared for you, he was um 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 ashd and haifa in a in a case of war with israel, now at the carrier or in the militerran, 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 attacks in syria. because the syrian president decided not to respond, but they not doing it in iraq for fear of the reaction the iraki 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 said nasrallah 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 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 embassey and there 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 americans were pushed out of lebanon and were pushed to flee the country. mr. magnia, one of uh the uh the key points that came out uh came up in the speech by uh hasan. 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. created a state of uncertain 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 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 had tent built in ilat, 150,000 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 the point. the second point is more important than that, not only the palestinian managed

to come out and defeed 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 explosive, 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 broking into pieces and this is why the the the israelis are... are behaving so brutally 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 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 sassanaso that the u.s. is responsible for

the bloodshed please elaborate on that for us. yeah so uh us imperialism it's the primary material contradiction um not only in theory but in practice definitely ways out plays out in in the in the air world and in the how um the lebanese resistance and the the al senior resistants are engaged um against the science so so thesign sensity 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 science entities does not want to directly engage with hamas, um, so uh, just -

these large, destructive us weapons in order to create a sense mass destruction, um, just is the strategy less approach here. all right, let's go back to mr. elijah, magnier, in brussels, uh, mr. magnier, 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 israelis are committing. just earlier today uh, 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 uh

consequences that the israels should face with regards to all the death and destruction? that they've laid upon the gaza strip, given the unequivocal support of 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, 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 guterres came out. said this is not the question of the 7th of october, it 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 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 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 is 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 a blame 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, 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 srallah, 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 nations gave this right to

the resistance, it is exactly the same right the palestinians in palestine. this is why expressed itself in this way to say this is our right to 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 a 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 enshrigned in the un charter as uh every occupied nation has a right to resist occupied people has a right to resist um, but also it's not just a point of morals, but it's a point of material necessity, one,

occupying power like the zinus 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, um, it's completely un in a law context of lawnness um, establishes itself and advance its interest by um, by war crimes, it's it's a it's a living continuous uh war crime, 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 oppressed occupied by the zinest entity um have uh failed diplomatically the attempts to to to

engage with this issue diplomatically consult time in a time have again have failed uh arabs and the palestinians forced into concessions that ultimately uh benefit the west and benefit the zijn centrity um so and israel continuing its war times that has been. 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 analyst julia costam joining us from the lebanese capital beirout and journalists 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.

the reaction is to support yaaba, always was, always will be of innocent palestinians in the state of israel terrorizing. usa, how many people today?

al shifar hospital in downtown gaza city is

the biggest hospital and the most important one in the strip, especially in wartime under a tight sie. i want to ask everyone in the in this world, if it is this child is yours, what do you feel? i am here because the israeli occupation bombed us. this war results in high numbers of casualties, people dying every day.

your headlines on press tv, israel has killed nearly 9,500 palestinians most of them women and children in gaza during his months long relentless attacks on the bese territory. turkey and honduras join other countries in recalling their ambassadors from tel aviv as the israeli regime gets more isolated diplomatically over its bloodshed in gaza. and pro palestine rallies have been held across the world including the us capital washington dc to demand immediate end to israel's war on gaza.
