failed miserably in responding to what was said by the team by the prosecutor and the evidence provided by the legal team of south africa to the international court of justice, this evidence which reveals the systematic crimes of genocide and killing and inforced displacement and it also revealed how it was defeated in confronting our just cause and the struggle for gaining rights and liberty and independence, and instead of admitting to their crimes and in addition to their failure in providing any convincing arguments in defense, the only thing they said in their deliberations, the defense attorney for the lights entity, the only thing they said, was
9:03 pm
indeed an admitting, admitting indirectly the genocide. it even reached the phase whereby we can summarize what he said in one sentence, we didn't do, and if we did, it's our right to do this. we, along with our people and the ummah and all free people of the world, we look forward to the international court of justice very soon, reaching a historic verdict which puts an end to the victims for amongst our people. putting immediate end to the aggression and assisting our people and sealing the wounds and also holding the leaders of a dionist regime accountable as war criminals. when it comes to the international stances towards this issue, the stance of the american administration and some western countries regarding south africa's case against the zionist entity by saying that this is baseless, as some said this once again proves double standards and their involvement in the... crimes of genocide and displacement
9:04 pm
against our people in the gaza strip, and this is also attempt to obstruct international justice in order to put an end to the aggression and the crimes of the occupation. we also condemn the air raids and also the naval bombardment on the brotherly nation of yemen, this is a blatant aggression and the violation of yemeny sovereignty and also a threat to the security of the region which is witnessing american british militarization which... has come in order to protect the zinest nazi occupation and to cover up its crimes against the palestinian people and in the region in general. the region will not witness security and stability except once the isionist occupation of a palestinian territory and their arab territories comes to an end and this requires from washington and london to put an end to their colonialist policies and to prove this by respecting the sovereignty of nations and the interests of the arab and islamic peoples. "and also the peoples of the whole
9:05 pm
world, which are becoming sick and are indeed reaching the phase where they whereby they are choking as a result of these american policies, and of course they will not stand and watch as the or in the midst of the zinous crimes and the genocidal war which our palestinian people are being subject to, we pray, for our marties, the marties for of our people and our resistance and..." the resistance of our on the path we pray for the recovery of the injured and the sick freedom also for out those imprisoned and jihad will of either leave to victory or maridum and thank you very much questions inaudible the zionist media rais the issue. okay uh, we were
9:06 pm
listening to samah hamdan, representative of hamas there in beirot uh in his uh press conference, we got cut off there at the end, unfortunately anyways, he talked about how there's been 99 days of bombing that were approaching 100 days, he is hoping of freedom for the prisoners and he uh blessed uh the people who obviously have lost loved ones, he talked about how we um underscored the fact that the occupation has not achieved any of its goals despite all the genocide. crimes he mentions some of the stats behind the uh genocide that has taken place and that includes um 24,00 marters uh where he said was mostly women and children and uh also talked about the icga and how important that was in terms of the statements given there uh maybe we can get a little bit of an analysis into this along with uh what transpired there uh we have mariam sal joining us from bayroot actually to uh tell us more about this uh i think one of the most interesting things uh that was said there is about the way that icj
9:07 pm
um was viewed by the difference that that makes in terms of the world view, but of course you tell us what you thought about it, mariam? well, of course his voice is... basically just resonating as as all of the palestinians have, the arab world, it is a stance that is very historic historical, it's unprecedented, it is something that the entire arab world has been waiting for, and ironically it was not established by any of the arab states and it also does not include any stances for for the arab states in south africa has been addemant on working very hardly, very hard and meticulously. on this case, which is considered, like i said, very historic case, they've been working it even before the events of the alaqsa flood and the the war on gaza on 7th of october, they've been working on it for quite a while now, they're really insisting on the fact that
9:08 pm
they need to take this to court, and we can see if we follow follow up the the testimonies and the the court trials in the first two days especially, there's a there's a... clear difference, a big gap when it comes to the juditional evidence and the uh the words and the rhetoric that is used by the israel that was used by the israelis or by the lawyers uh for south africa. we can see that south africa has not used emotions, they're using argumentative strong evidence, it's it's quite clear that they're using that, they're not even using graphic images, which is something that... is quite uh unseen in the of cour and maybe in history, whereas the israelis, they're really trying to tap on emotions, which they know that they have lost, um, they have lost a lot of support from the entire world, and this is why they're trying to use emotions or trying to
9:09 pm
use video whatever videos they can find, it's more of a propaganda than it is case where they're really um rebutting the the the case. and the the the falls that are set out that the and the evidence that was given out by south africa and so this is why i think this is very significant osama hamdan has stressed that it is enough for us when it comes to the case and the war on the palestinians uh to give the facts to give what is actually happening on the ground uh the palestinians themselves have also been given evidence to the entire world how they are uh they are being killed and uh um basically a daily basis in real time and this is being documented. on social media for the entire world and because of that, even as i know that the israelis several days before um the courts began in the hague they had a really huge uh campaign, media campaign where they put uh pictures on the boards on the um the
9:10 pm
panels all over the city uh where they put images of the israeli prisoners and detainees and so on and so they're basically trying just to use emotion, it has not been very strong case for the israelis whereas south africa has definitely, as experts are saying that this is very, very strong case, and i think that the only way that it's not going to be put put forth on the floor to practice, first of all it does take time, of course, this is issue that is not just that would would we won't see results right after these this trial, but the united states, as we've seen in the united nations security council, it will definitely stand by the side of the israelies, this despite the fact that they say they call for human rights and so on and they will not allow any sort of impunity against the israeli regime unfortunately uh let's bring in at this point to join us, he's a palestinian scientist and author uh joins us from bethlehem um if we have you saya uh
9:11 pm
one of the one of the things are you with us? thank you, yes do we have you? yes great, um, just to uh follow up on what uh osama hamdan has said, the senior hamas reap in beirot, one of the things that needs to be mentioned uh that he said is the fact that we're approaching 100 days uh of this brutal us israel genocidal war and um israel has not obviously uh come close to achieving the goals that it's set out to do how significant is that uh it is highly significant, i mean they promised that they would do three things. supposedly return the hostages by force mostly, destroy the resistance and make gaza pacified for decades to come, all three things i have failed to achieve, so i think it's a right observation, this is partly the
9:12 pm
reason why israel is trying to expand the war to distract from their failure in gaza, and they are trying to draw the... the rest of the world western governments to join them in their fight so to speak all right um and and just another thing that needs to be mentioned here if possible for you to elaborate more for us is um the us role here is becoming um not that it wasn't prominent before but it's coming more prominent um it seems like they are willing to go out of the way to um divert the world attention uh if they can with uh some military escapades in the region such as what has happened in yemen do you think that is the case uh yes and israel is also we have to realize israel is part of the imperial system that involves the us, england and few
9:13 pm
other countries that have implanted that that imperial system that implanted the zionist regime in our region to break up the arab and islamic world, from the early periods of the zinist movement in the 1880s, actually even before herzel those countries, the us and and england and france and others have supported the creation of this regime of this implant that's very unusual. this is not a very successful colonial project, but it is a colonial project that is serving western interests and serving its own interest of course. so they are defending it and that's and they are defending the ships that are heading there. uh that the yemen, yemen is targeting, because obviously it's
9:14 pm
international obligation on yemen and on all countries to work to stop the genocide in gaza, so yemen and lebanon and few other countries are taking it seriously, trying to stop the genocide, and i think this is what's happening, and against that of course you have that qu'... condition of the genocidal regimes of the us, england and france, we have to remember those are genocidal regimes even before israel was created. thank you very much for that. palestinian scientist and author from bethlehem. now we're going to go to mariam sale. mariam saleh, before we let you go, there has been reports of the hesbollah striking um, i believe inside israel, if you can tell us about that or any other. strikes that have occurred from hizballah uh against israel regime? well, the
9:15 pm
most significant operation that was conducted just lately, the last one was that they targeted a markava tank in the settlement of mutulle, and they said clearly in their statement that this was one of the tanks that was launching shelling and bombs against the uh lebanese towns that are near mutili, we're talking about khiam, and even the areas of that go beyond these towns as well had also been targeted by those tanks that are staying uh that are situated in the settlement of and so that was the most significant um operation the last of which we have for today it seems we don't know if there will be other statements um talking about other operations but we had before at least five operations against uh several posts including alase amerikatricia and hanita and so... were um and it very significant operations always because it seems that though we see that
9:16 pm
there is a repetition sometimes of the names the bases, however hazballah always finds something else within that base uh to target even if it's not targeting just for example first of all the first um several radio interceptors or devices are also targeting the forts that are built around uh the bases making sure that bit by bit they inflict more destruction. on these these basis in order not to allow them to become used easily by the israelis and so that is i think the most significant operation, but of course hazballah has maintained in all their statements that this is in support still of the gazan war and we are still talking about from the hazballah officials we know that there's still a lot of pressure being put from the us but they have of course always stressed to all the mediators that they will continue with these operations. until the war on gaza stops. thank you very much for that. miriam salah talking to us from beirot. we do
9:17 pm
