for an end to regime's genocide of palestinians. welcome to spotlight, after nearly 50 days of non-stop attacks on the gaza strip, israel is accepted to observe four-day truce, as part of the temporary ceasfire deal 25 captives, that's including 13 israeli sees by palestinian resistance forces during the october 7th operations have been released and in exchange from israeli jails, 39 palestinian prisoners have also been released, 24 women. and 15 children, the

temporary ceasefire comes as uh, none of israel's war objectives, including the destruction of uh hamas and its military infrastructure have been realized, the palestinian resistance groups have already hailed the temporary ceasefire as a victory. israeli officials repeatedly stated the destruction of the palestinian resistance movement, hamos as their main objective by targeting the groups military. infrastructure, however, since day one, hamas has been a thorn in the eye of the occupation regime as resistance fighters continued their retaliatory attacks on israeli targets, therefore the regime has failed to achieve its main goals. joining us on this edition of the spotlight we have, journalists and political anist elijah magnier us from of

brussels, we also have writer and political analyst abi risk, joining us from the lebanese capital bay route. well, let's start off with uh our guest in brussels, mr. magnier, sir, welcome to the program, uh, it's great to have you both with us, mr. magny, since the beginning of the israeli of onslot uh on palestinians uh that started on the seventh. of october uh the regime has sought to dismantle the resistance groups in gaza, however uh the resistance forced the israelis to redefine uh its objectives, it's now widely believed that uh this ceasefire deal is a failure for israel, do you see it in that light as well? thank you for having me, well actually it is not a failure for israel uh only, but israel has submitted. all

the conditions that hamas has imposed on israel, the government and the army, so first of all the palestinian resistance offered to exchange all the prisoners and hostages and all the captives from the first beginning of the conflict, but israel refused and set up objectives that were impossible to be achieved, the defeat of hamas and military. release of all the hostages. hamas, every single day, since the 7th of october until yesterday, continue bombing all the israeli settlements and cities, and not one israely was released by the israeli occupation forces. for that, it is a big defeat for the israeli government that went to negotiate with hamas instead of sticking. to the plan

to defeat it and eliminate hamas completely from gaza, so this is why the all the military activity has been suspended, nevertheless, it cannot continue in this situation, even if the exchange is going to take for four days and most probably is going to be also increased for another four days because these is really prepared the release of 300 palestinian prisoners, so for that we can say comfortably that from the 7th of october until today, not withstanding all the killing, of the palestinians, the damage on gaza etc. hamas and the palestinian resistance has registered a big victory over the israeli government and the israeli army.

ali risk in beirout, mr. risk, how do you view this ceasefire? the israelis uh did not achieve their stated objectives, they would not be in this position if they had, have these failures force. to commit to a prisoner swap? indeed, it's interesting, you know, the israeli government had gone out of its way to demonize hamas, going to the extent of equating it with isis, if you recall in the early those of a conflict, the us administration joined uh their voice or joined the israelis in this demonization, so in light of that, i think it really is significant - what is taking place? i think that um the israeli set a trap for themselves, they were caught up in a moment of rage in the aftermath of the october 7 operation, and i think that um their approach was guided by rage more than was guided by any sound rational policy, and so the results

were you know declaring goals which were basically unachievable, destroying hamas is near impossible mission, hamas in in the end is not based on in is not made up of individuals, hamas is an idea which is built very much around the concept of fighting is ready resistance, and as the west itself knows very well, it's very difficult to defeat or destroy ideas or ideologies, so i think that um, you know, again, israel allowed rage to guide its policies, this is not the first time, and the end result is that israel has failed in achieving its declared goals and this takes us back to the july 2006 war, if you recall back then, the israeli government led by ihod almost also set similar goals like um retrieving the soldiers which hazballah had taken captive in addition to forcing hazballah to go beyond

the um laatani river etc. all of those goals also were not uh what not achieved so what we're seeing i think is an israeli repetition the... same mistakes which i don't think bows well for israel at all at the strategic level. staying with you, mr. risk, the non-stop fighting of the resistance in gaza, it obviously played a pivotal role, but also other members of the resistance front in the region, they played a key role in pushing the regime to accept this deal. lebanon'sballah movement, which has been engaged in nearly daily clashes with the israeli regime troops, there's yemen's ansorlo resistance movement and the armed forces of... that also took up arms against the israelis in a show of support for palestine, resistance groups in iraq and syria, they also carried out dozens of operations against israel and even the united states positions, how important was this coordinated response from the resistance in the region? the coordination of the

resistance, this was from mr. risk, well this is the first time the uh, this is the first time we see the concept. the united fronts as they say, meaning when you open one front, like the gazza front, then all other fronts will be open, this is the first time we've seen that actually come into practice, i think that did affect the israeli calculus, i think more importantly it affected the american calculus, what just one on one factor, of course the american calculus or the american approach was also affected very much by the very large large scale we saw in the western world including in the us itself, but i think additional factor was that the action taken by ansar allah, by the iraqis, by hazbullah, and interestingly, the americans, the biden administration was very

keen on avoiding a new front from opening up here on the the lebanese israeli front, there there have been border, cross-border exchanges, but the americans made it clear, they did not. want major war erupt on the lebanese, israely front, like what happened in 2006, so it was clear that the americans were very keen on avoiding a multifront war or a regional war, and i think that did play a role in um pushing the americans to push the israelis into agreeing to this truce which we're seeing right now, the beginning of this truce. sure, elijah, magny, similar point for you as well, iran's foreign minister, uh, he just recently warned that... if israel continues the war on gaza following this truce, regional conditions will get out of hand and reactions will become even more extensive, will you elaborate on those comments for us please? he hasp engagement on

the borders with israel attracted to it, a third of the israeli occupation forces and all its effectives including the air force etc. we have seen how the settlement were completely abandoned by all the settlers who gathered in ilat and then we have seen how the... in yemen followed the settlers to ilat and launch cruise missiles that completely upsetted the israeli plans to have 15000 tents in the area of ilat thinking that this is safe place, but above all when the huti attacked an israeli own ship that changed everything in the equation by saying that... mandib is going to be closed with all the pressure on the israeli economy in the last

47 days where israel on day one has lost 13 billion dollars and went to borrow another six and that was continue to escalate the causing real in the israeli economy, closing babil mandib would not affect only israel but would affect the international and world economy and maritime traffic, seeing that the escalation is going beyond the level of hitting israel and the damage is much bigger, israel was forced to accept the terms of hamas under humanitarian reasons by pretending that the government of benyamin netanyahu is submitting to the domestic pressure, however this is this has a small factor to it, the main factor is how the

multiple fronts were escalating, heating up and going a little bit wider than what the israelis and the americans could have accepted. mr. risk, the head of the palestinian islamic jihad resistance movement, ziad nakhale, he was very confident when he said in his recent televised address that the current prisoner swap deal with telaviv will. finally lead to another agreement that will force the regime to release all palestinian prisoners. do you see this truth and this compromise that was made by the israelis as a first step uh in this instance for more permanent ceasefire and ultimately ending this genocidal massacre of gazans? before i answer that question, just quickly, i think that um the multiple fronts which we talking about, this is making israel more and more a strategic burden for for the

united states, so i think this conflict more than any other conflict is showing the united states that supporting israel is just proving to be increasingly costly, and in this particular in these particular circumstances where is the israeli government is shifting more and more to the right and is being identified or described as racist, fascist government in the west, i think that is something which we shouldn't play down. indeed is a significant develop about ziad nakhala statements regarding his confidence about another swap taking place and another truth uh ziad nakhala also seem pretty confident that um the situation will be or that the military operations sorry will initiate or will resume after four days he didn't uh seem to be very confident that this truce will hold that he did expect uh more in intense violence to come if you if you follow that speech, so um, i think it is indeed

possible, i think it's even actually somewhat likely, that this is not necessarily the end of what we saw of the violence, i hope i'm mistaken, but judging by the irrationality and the rage which we seeing, and also judging by natanyahu's own personal calculations, because you know if this thing comes to an end, most likely will go to jail, so i think these factors all have to be taken into account, again, i hope i'm mistaken and i hope that um, we do see an extended true and the beginning of the end of what is happening, but i think it's a bit too, a bit too early to be that optimistic, so we might see some rounds of violence yet before we reach the stage where there'll be more swaps and a more permanent ceasefire. sure, uh, mr. magne and brussels, there was an interesting point that was brought up. by our guest mr. rizk in uh in beirout and that was the fact that uh the us support for the israelis given

the multi-faceted uh resistance front and the response that they've shown to the israeles, this is being very costly for uh for the united states. i want to get your thoughts on uh on those comments uh as well, it's it's getting to point where maybe washington would have to to assess how much support uh is to. much support for israel, i think for the us, the unlimited support to israel is there, not because they like the israels, but because the israeli lobby. is too powerful and designism in the united states is overwhelming the us politicians, so anyone who disagree with what israel is doing or criticize israel, the card of antisemite or hate jew jew hater or the holocaust supporter

is immediately raised in his or her face and we have seen many people losing their job because of that. and the control of the media is incredible to the point that for more than 35 days, at the beginning everybody was asking about if hamas is a terrorist organization and talking only about the 7th of october as if the palestinian fell from the sky and they just happen to be there on the 7th of october and carry out attack on the israelis so because of that because the... americans from day one agreed to supply israel with 14.5 billion, the plan since 1967, just before the sixth days war, the americans supply the israeles enough tank and jet to attack the arab and start their preemptive attack, and since then they have allocated 140 billion dollars to israel, plus

3.3 billion every single year. plus all the military hardware and supply of ammunition, so i don't really see any decline of the israeli support, of the american support to israel, however there is an international shift of opinion toward israel, particularly after the barbaric act of the israely that no one could have ignored as the social media one over the mainstream media for the first time showing the exact violation of international law committed by the israels a clear position of the united nations condemning israel and saying this is not happening on the 7th of october but 50 years before and all that can no longer be ignored

however that is not going to change in my opinion the position of the us israel because the americans consider that this is their safe haven in the middle east and when other countries like saudi arabia and the emirate are shifting toward having good relationship with iran with china and with russia and not really abiding by the us rules. i was talking about that international uh shift, the western backed israeli propaganda took a mas blow with the unprecedented demonstrations that we saw around the world, one of the main derivatives of this war was that the true and brutal nature of the israeli regime was exposed, so how badly do you think is the image of the israeli regime and its supporters have been tarnished during this onslot? indeed, israel's image under this

particular government at least wasn't good to begin with, even before this these latest developments, you know, this government has been described as the most right-wing in history, ministers like smotrich and bengavir, people who were previously classified by the united states by the way as terrorists, so the image wasn't good to begin with, and uh, as a result of the israeli massacres during this war, this image has further deteriorated, i'd like to point out that and i'm sure my colleague in brussels know more than knows more than i do. uh belgium in particular has been very outspoken against the israeli practices and israeli massacres. today we had very interesting statement by belgian and spanish officials sharply condemning the israeli side even the french, french president macron, after expressing support for israel later said that we need a ceasefire. and i think this all put

the united states in a state of isolation where it remained just about the only uh international player. supporting israel, maybe with the addition of of britain, so this just tells you how much, how did the situation is for the israeli side, i do disagree with my colleague in brussels partially regarding the point about the israeli lobby, that is an important factor in american support for israel, but i don't think it's the only factor, and in fact i think that more importantly, there is what i call american ideological support for israel, this stems from the evangelicals, we all know most of those who are considered part of a republican party, but also amongst the democrats, you know, biden openly says, you don't need to be a jewish to be a... and he, i believe that he sincerely supports israel regardless of any uh lobby influence, and the same would apply for blinton, so i think us support for israel also stems from these

other factors not linked only to these domestic calculations. sure, um, mr. magnia, the leader of iran's islamic revolution, he said that the alaassa flood was knockout blow to the israelis. in similar comments, the head of the palestinian is. he said that operation flood has caused earthquake within the israeli regime. there were number of similar statements in that regard which we're all suggesting that basically after october the 7th israel will never be the same. you see it in that light as well? of course this first day on the 7th of october the palestinian resistance implemented in lack of certain in the mind and the mindset of the israeli settlers, they will never return to the gaza envelope if all of gaza is occupied

or at least hamas is destroyed, it is exactly the same when the settlers on the northern borders met with prime minister benyamin netanyahu and said that as long as the hezbollah special forces are along the borders, we will not return the... so now the israelis are in a serious dilemma where more than 500,000, according to the israeli officials fled the country, and this is why they saying we have to get rid of two millions, so this is not going to happen, the 5,00, the half million israelis have left, and the security to the israelis is not going to return, unless israel manages to occupy all of gaza, and we have seen in 48 days of war, they haven't even occupy half of gaza, that is 3.8 miles wide and eight miles long,

and they have not tackled the most dense area in the middle that is jabalya camp and the gaza city, therefore it is earthquake that is drowning the whole israeli settlers for very long time. all right, i'm sorry to jump in there, that's all the time we have for tonight's show uh. thank you gentlemen, elijah magneer, journalist and political analyst joining us from brussels, ali risk rider and political analyst joining us from the lebanese capital bayroot and also special thanks to you our viewers for staying with us on tonight spotlight. it's good night for now and see you next time. when the jews were segregated in the ghettoes, no one would imagine that decades later they would do the same exact thing to another part of the world by putting up tall

walls to segregate palestinians. no one could also imagine that palestinians would be the ones paying the price for crimes that the nazi germans and the west committed against the jews. they blurred the lines and passt zinus off as jews to push forward their insidious agenda. this documentary shows a clear picture of what's going on behind the ghetto walls.
