the palestinian resistance has triumped, despite the chatter of the israeli regime, whose prime minister is trying to cover this victory up by maintaining his war mongering threats. in spite of its brutality, the zionist entity failed to achieve its goals, with which it justified the genocidal war on gaza and was un able to bring the gazzans to their knees and expel them from their homeland. some may wonder about the validity of victory while the enemy continues its aggression, assassinates hamas leaders in lebanon and continues to kill and arrest civilians. the answer to that is that the most important event was netanyahu and his cabinet submitting to negotiations with hamas and reluctantly accepting a humanitarian true which he rejected at first. netanyahu was forced to do so after losing all his cards. he was not able to eliminate hamas nor weaken

its offensive and defensive capabilities as he promised. the israeli entities's image in the world was tarnished. it was isolated internationally and its allies were forced to pressure it to stop the war, despite their knowledge that their political airly had gotten them into trouble and was already going through a bigger trouble that might lead him to resign under dures before he could be investigated and sentenced to prison. for the first time palestinians have of tasted a real victory since the end. the direct colonization phase. with the announcement of the truth, all parties began to prepare to adapt to the new phase. the first of these parties is israeli entity settler groups whose internal battles will intensify in the next stage an unprecedented manner. gaza was victorious and the palestinian cause was victorious with it, because it returned to being the main cause of the entire world, and this has not been the case for many years now. this confirms that the battle of the al-aqsa flood is a battle of transformation. that cannot be

compared with any of the previous battles. the islamic resistance movement hamas proved today that it still controls the battlefield throughout the gaza strip, despite the israeli occupations rush few days before the truce to announce that communication between hamas and its fighters was cut off. however, zinist media itself negated that fake news when channel 12 reported that following the release of the first batch of israeli entity prisoners in the gaza strip, anyone who wastend to suggest the defeat of hamas should review him. self. the ground events demonstrated absolute control by hamas on the ground, as the resistance succeeded in implementing seasfire in the north and south of the gaza strip, despite the zionist entities army's announcement that hamas had lost control over its operatives. yet in reality, after 49 days of fighting, hamas has proven that it is still as strong as day one and that it still controls the gaza strip at both the leadership and administrative levels. welcome to the mid east train, i'm.

despite all the western and zionist river of lies, declaring the defeat of hamas inside the gaza strip after 49 days of fighting from october 7 till the day the seasfire went into effect, hamas has proven that it is still strong and that it is fully controlling gaza. now the palestinian resistance succeeded in imposing a ceasefire in the south and the north of the gaza strip, while the world watched as al-qassam knew how to bring its detaines at the specified time and to the appropriate place designated to hand them over to the international red cross in khan yunis hospital. if anyone after those 49 days took any of defeat, it for sure, without any doubt was not the palestinian resistance hamas. to discuss this issue with us from new

york is dan kovalick, human rights lawyer, academic and author. thanks million for being with us so early, dan to talk about these pressing issues happening in palestine as we speak. now, the palestinian resistance dan imposed most of its conditions in the past truth, it was announced uh four days ago, the most important of which is that it imposed the truth for several days and not for hours uh the way the israeli entity was trying to uh push against the uh people, in addition to... imposing the entry of humanitarian aid, much needed humanitarian aid and fuel to gaza, despite the brutal strikes by the israeli entity war machine, what do you think in your opinion was the main factor uh for the success of this truce? yes, well of course the main factor is what you uh mentioned, and that is the stiff resistance that the resistance fighters in gaza have been. to the israeli defense forces,

according to israel's own figures, over 300, something like 324 israeli soldiers have been killed and and number of their tanks which they thought were indestructible have actually been destroyed. by the way, the palestinians think probably three times the number of israeli soldiers that that israel claims to have been killed, were killed, so that would make it about a thousand israeli soldiers killed, so uh, and there i've been reading that there's been desertions by the um israeli forces, um, as a result of the resistance, so i think that is the biggest factor that brought israel to this truce, but of course there's several other factors, one is the support that gaza is getting uh internationally from hezbollah, and yemen,

and also from resistance for uh fighters in iraq, all of them are engaged in various attacks which are bogging down a both israel and the united states, well then the israeli entity set a ceiling of uh great ambitions if i may internally and externally, and then faced fierce resistance and popular steadfastness inside of 363 square kilometers of very populated concentration camp of gaza, which lead that ceiling basically to crumble down on the israeli entity leadership, especially we're talking about the heads of netanyahu, about guns and about... uh gallant, how come the israeli regime was so delusional in estimating the real power of the palestinian resistance when it's just right there in the ghaza strip? well, i think that the powers that be in israel are

delusional about many things, and i think that is what will lead to their demise, they they believe their own propaganda, that somehow they're invincible force, that somehow they're the most moral. army in the world, when in fact they seem to be the most immoral army in the world, but they believe their own propaganda, also their forces are used to being victorious over children and women in the west bank, right? well that doesn't take very much, also doesn't take very much to be victorious over hospitals and children in gaza, which it seems that that's the only victory. that they're able to claim uh, but it's quite another matter to engage with uh militant fighters in gaza that are well trained, that are well seasoned, and frankly have something to fight for, and that

is their homes and their land, and the israelis don't have the same thing to fight for, um, and their moral. is low and decreasing by the day, so i think that explains how israel has overestimated itself, i think also the problem they have is they don't have a strategy in gaza, they're let's face it, they uh, 90% of the people they've killed in gaza are civilians, now of course, that's by intention, but what that means is they're really not having? the impact on the militant fighters that that they claim to have, and they don't have a strategy to have an impact on them, so i i think they don't know what to do at this point, and again, they they now face the world, they face the world opinion on this, you have joe biden be

being called genocide joe, um, this is a problem, this is a problem, the moral um close that israel has draped itself in for so long, has now fallen, and that's probably the biggest defeat that they have faced. i think that uh one right now the the the truth might get a bit uh elongated, it might be uh maybe made into more uh than the four days that they already initially uh agreed upon, but today with the battle of the al-aqsa flood or what is known internationally as october 7, the cabinet of the zionist regime, as you mentioned, was defeated, however, what comes really after this battle, dan? i mean, what will be the tastes of this victory achieved by the palestinian people in general, and the the people of gaza in particular, which which has become some sort of icon for humanity,

especially those who aspire for liberation. how do you think this new phase will look like? yes, well, i think first of all we have to acknowledge. in the short term, short to medium term, there will be much suffering in gaza, they've already lost something like 20,000 lives that we know of, many of them children, their... structure is in ruins, their hospitals are in ruins, that will be something that the people palestine will have to grapple with, hopefully the world will have to grapple with, but that that that will be the biggest challenge at hand, but i think in the long-term, and maybe not real long-term, i think the state of israels in trouble, i think uh, and what is it, something like a... israelis are have already left israel uh because of all this um all the

settlements in the north of israel have been vacated because of hezball's fighting, um, the morale of israel's very low, they again they had this reputation in much of the world, not all of it, but in much of the west for again being this inven invincible moral actor, and both aspects of that claim are gone now, they're not seen as invincible, nor they seen as moral, and i think that that also impacts the younger generation of jews in the world, and they will not be flocking to live in israel, and israel needs that, israel can only survive by continuing. to have continuing um generations move, move there, and i think that's not going to happen

now, i think that israel's probably facing an existential crisis, but it's of its own making, you know, it it, it's now existentially threatened by how it is conducted this so-called war, it's not much of a war, i mean in in many ways, well as many people acknowledge. is i believe, it's a genocide, you know, so um, that will have lasting impact, and i think in the end the us leadership will have to think very hard how how it relates to israel in the future, i mean it may be, we will be talking about this specifically about how really zionism has failed utterly, not only in gaza, but a global scale as well, but please ladies and gents, do stay with us, because after the break we will see how zion was defeated in gaza,

oh welcome. well, this transformation could not have taken place in the western mood towards a 4-day ceasefire, except with the patience and steadfastness of the palestinian people, in defiance to the zinest genocide, and with the legendary combat performance of the palestinian resistance movements. these variables carved new palestinian victory and confirmed the inevitable defeat of zionist israel. more details in the following report. zianist israel swallowed the poison. of palestinian resilience, when the leaders of the occupying entity agreed to four-day true,

most of whose conditions were dictated by the palestinian resistance hamas through mediators. this was an explicit zinast israeli admission of defeat in a war that approached 50 days. politics is an extension of war by other means and the results of any negotiations are linked to the balance of power on the ground, all of which was portrayed by hamas as it imposed its conditions for the exchange of the... first batch of detainees. the basic condition was the release of three palestinian children and women from occupation prisons in exchange for one zionist male or female prisoner, which is what the ill-fated trio in the occupation leadership, benjamin netanyahu, yoav gallant and benny gants submitted to, while they all had insisted first on releasing what they called hostages held by hamas, without any agreement or reciprocation. benjamin netanyahu in particular showed uncontrollable. verbal arrogance and exaggerated his belief that he could liberate the zionist detainees by armed force. then it

became clear to him that he was chasing illusion. the campaign of tens of thousands of his soldiers and elite forces in northern gaza failed, and he was shocked by the catastrophic losses of his forces. therefore it was only natural after that for the enemy to bow its head, which has been buried deep in the mud since the flood attack of october 17. and to accept in a conceited manner what it had previously rejected and to agree along with its cabinet and its war council to a scheduled ceasefire. zionist israel conceded to preventing its warplanes from flying during the seasfire in the skies of gaza. sciences israel agreed to double the flow of aid, including fuel to the gaza strip. the occupation was also forced to implicitly acknowledge the continued rule of the hamas movement in gaza, and it is the same occupation that repeatedly described hamas as a terrorist entity, while hamas and the resistance factions broke the nose of its

brutal barbaric zionist terrorist entity which failed to fight man to man. the zionist. situation failed miserably from the deadly zero distance which we all watched in slow motion on our smartphones and tv sets. it failed miserably that it began to unleash its venchful anger on defenseless civilians. the occupation planes and american bombs killed more than 20,000 palestinian civilians including about 6,000 still missing under the rubble and demolished more than half of gaza's buildings and most of his hospitals, schools, masks, churches. mills, bakeries, vital facilities and water desalination plants. all of this destruction took place while no white flag was ever waved across all of gaza, spite starvation, thirst and displacement. gazans remained set fast refusing to flee their homeland, declaring sweeping support for the resistance factions which humiliated the occupation army and

ended the myths of its prestige, superiority and delusional power. now we are back with our guest from new york, dan kovalic, human rights, lawyer, academic and also author. thanks emilian again for being with us and i hope you were able to to watch the report with usdan, because the israeli entity media has estimated that the loss incurred by hamas in the 49 day war was no more than 10% of the military strength of the aziddin al-qassam brigades, which is the military wing of the hamas movement, which... has basically indicated by the superior doctrine, the fighting methods of hamas and the auxiliary resistance uh factions as well, which succeeded in maintaining their grounds and in fighting backs even after zinist israel took a chunk of the northern part of uh of gaza, why the enemy was deteriorating and as you said at the beginning of our first segment that some of them are refusing to come back

and fight to begin with because of hamas, what happened to the fourth toughest army on the planet? well, i think it was never as tough as it claimed, as we were talking about, i mean, most of the soldiers there to the first of all, they're all conscripts, right, basically everyone has to serve in the military, which means a lot of people are serving against their will, um, and to the extent they have any experience, lot of it is in frankly bullying children and women uh, and other civilians. um, particularly in the west bank these days, um, that does not, that does not prepare one for fighting armed militants with the type of resolve that the militants have in gaza, right? well, it is also important to note out that, while you were talking, i was just remembering that the the last time that ziinus israel was actually

in an urban warfare was in 1982 beirot, so they've not really fought this kind of war before. they did do some sort of incursion to the west bank during the summer uh to janine but it lasted for like uh no longer than uh six or seven days and it was fairly very small area so it is very tough for them to be fighting an urban warfare in in gaza but let me talk a bit about your part of the world then because all the fake israeli entity cards have basically just fallen you mean no same person would believe anymore the propaganda that is coming either from the zionist narrative or from the west narrative, especially the mainstream media one starting with the claims that hamas beheaded babies to them having victories against hospitals in gaza, i mean no one really believes that anymore, except they see the brutality of the israeli war machine that has killed so far, 2000 humans, including 6,000 who are still under the rubble, but how is designist image

being perceived in your streets, in your community, in new york, for example, well it's a bit skits of... frenic you know the mass media is still largely on board with the the israeli project with designs project and tries to you know present israel with the kindest face it possibly can with very skewed um coverage one example is um the children released uh by hamas are called children, the children released by israel are called people under the age of 18, right? they won't even call them children, so they do their best to have very skewed coverage uh. but the problem is people aren't paying attention to the news anymore, they're finding their news on twitter and tiktok and instagram, they are

seeing the videos there of babies being pulled from rubble of incubator babies dying in hospitals and israel is attacked, and so the population is turning against israel in a big way, and the media is not being trusted for what they're. saying right, 80% of democrats and of course it is democratic war because biden is the president, 80% of democrats oppose what biden's doing in supporting this genocide, so the they've lost the people, they have lost the people here in the united states, the government and the media have lost the people and they've lost credibility, the government and the media, and i don't know how... are going to gain it back either, so the palestinians really are leading a worldwide revolt is what's happening, well then the international level,

the zionist american western alliance was betting on marginalizing the palestinian cause and putting it aside and propagating the so-called peace process or the abraham accords and strengthening the legitimacy of the occupation and its continued expansions the occupation settlements, especially in the west bank. and basically just judaization of palestine, urbanization of the lands of historic, stealing historical and cultural identity of palestine, and through expanding the circle of normalization, as we said with more than uh the current muslim and arab states, but as you were just mentioning and how the image of the zionist entity has crumbled, do you think that also the projects of zionism have crumbled inside of? historic palestine or am i just being a bit more optimistic than usual today? i think they're in the process of crumbling, i don't think they've they've completely crumbled, but i

think they're in the process of doing so. i, i think that um, the zionist belief in their own project is going to start to wither away, because it's showing itself for what it is, you know, it's the brutality cannot be denied. anymore a mirror has been put up in the face of of the israeli people and they have to see that what they're doing is unjust, it does not comport with the ethics in the jewish faith, has nothing to do with that, right? a state has been replaced as the object of worship, in the... of god and and nothing good can come of that and i think that lot of israelis are seeing that again a lot of fled the country and will not come back, i think less and less people, less and

less jews around the world will want to move to israel, again the whole moral justification for israel has collapsed in the last six to seven weeks and that. by israel to normalize relations with the gulf states is over, that's over, that was going to happen, now it won't happen, um, and it's a big reason by the way, of course that the resistance began operations on october 7th, remember netanyahu went to the un and showed map of the new middle east and it had no palestine in it at all, yeah, and i think i think that the palestinian resistance was loud and clear on october 7 telling him that it was not up to him to. erase historic palestine from the map, it is up to the palestinian themselves to bring back and liberate that land. dan uh kovali, human rights, lawyer, academic and author, our very

uh lovely and dear friend from new york. thanks amillion for being with us to discuss this very urgent matter, and i hope ladies and gents, you got uh what you needed uh from this interview, because we need to know how the west is reacting to this, but at the same time we need you in the west to know that the narrative of the natives of... is being written by the palestinian people as we speak, which is why we ask you to follow us every week and follow us on telegram and on exformally known as twitter, and we always promise you to get you the latest from west asia right here on the midd stream.
