6:00 am
power in the region and in the islamic world, and number five, internationally, after north korea, the united states, china and russia. iranians fed up with the last monarch took to the streets in 1979 to toppole the puppet regime whose strings were being pulled by the us. the uprising had actually started over decade ago under the leadership of imam komeini who was living in exile. listen to the stories of the protesters who brave the bullets for their cause.
6:01 am
of of the israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said total victory in gaza was within reach as he rejected the late. offer from hamas for a ceasefire to ensure the return of captives, he renewed a pledge to destroy hamas, but how realistic is it to think that there would have been a truth in the first place when either side had stances on some key issues that were worlds apart, like a mass wanting a complete withdrawal of the israeli regime forces. in this edition of the spotlight we will look at why this truth failed and what that means when it comes to the future of palestinians. first let me introduce our guests. is a political analyst
6:02 am
who joins us from london. also joining us ali salam, editor and chief at the basira press who joins us from tehran. welcome to you both gentlemen. let me first start with you. so we just had uh pm netanyahu speak in the past minutes practically, and he has rejected this uh offer that hamas had, which was a uh not a counter offer, but it did have its own uh... ideas to what was put on the table, what do of you think of that uh, in terms of uh netanyahu rejecting it, which he says that we want to defeat hamas. hello, good evening, firstly condolences to all the martters in uh gaza, west bank, south lebnon, and all the marters of the access of resistance, plus our real uh sort of. deep condolences and
6:03 am
supplications for all those who have been injured over the last uh nearly four months now, but look, in a in so far as ceasefire, discussions, all these are concerned, we can see that for the last 75 years, i don't call it this zionist entity anymore, i call it the talmudic terrorist, they have actually not abided by any kind of agreement, whether it was the big fan fair of oslo uh for the last 32 odd years, nothing has been implemented and they have carried on, so really it's good that it has been sort of not agreed by of netanyahu because he has no intention of agreeing to any cease fire. i don't think we need a cease fire really in this particular brutal murder that is taking place in gaza. we need cessation of the zionist entity from
6:04 am
west asia, because that's the only way that one would achieve a long lasting, sustainable and permanent peace when all the communities from the river to the sea can live in peace and harmony, that includes the christians, the muslims and the jews who were there prior to 1948, not the settlers, not the immigrants, not the sort of... european, american, australian, new zealand, south african jews and eastern european jews who have really occupied that land over the last 75 years and it's a continuous sort of non comppliance with any international rule and regulation as we can see that even though the international court of justice said that there was plausible case for genocide and gave israel. one month to compile report and
6:05 am
of we are halfway through that, and really nothing has changed since that feeling, the zionist entity continues to inflict genocide, a a phenomenal level um and the soldiers are posting video clips all over the place showing that how they are having a joy in in gaza, killing children, destroying buildings and sort of looting the homes of the people who have had to vacate their premises, so it's an ugly sign, there is not likely to be any acceptance of any cease fire from this racist regime ti yeah, i'd like to get your reaction uh before we even continue ali salam where um netanyahu has rejected uh what was on the table there uh and what hamas gave as a counter proposal in a sense um saying things like absolute victory within reach surrender to hamas demands would bring disaster. netanyahu can talk big and it's
6:06 am
obviously he wouldn't accept such deal but the resistance will be the one that forces his hand. "now the resistance may not may not get 100% of what it wants, but it will get, it will be the one that controls the outcome these negotiations for eventual cease fire, because it's not just the resistance in gaza, it's the resistance in lebanon, it's the resistance in yemen, it's the resistance in iraq, design entity has pretty much been brought to its knees and many areas around gaza. and around northern occupied palestine and even in the south, in the elot, whatever it's called, it's a fake name, the original name, the arabic name is more important, the one that is constantly getting struck by iraqi and yemeni ballistic missiles, they're
6:07 am
all become ghost towns, they're practically, you could say maybe 90% liberated, the only thing that needs to be removed are the actual state run institution. but the people, the settlers, we can't call them civil civilians because they're actively involved in a military occupation just by the nature of them living there, it's unlike anything else in the world, so this is a special situation where they can't be considered civilians, but all the kind of average settlers have left, so there's only very small amounts of military institutions, state institutions, and once those are all gone, those are this pretty much equals to liberations. so the uh ball is in the court of the resistance, so they may not get 100% of what they have asked for in this proposal, but they will get huge, huge chunk of it, and the the enforcer of this is not the icj, it's not the un, it's the barrel of the weaponry of the resistance
6:08 am
who are fighting against these genocidal zionist uh terrorists on behalf of palestinians and on behalf of really all of humanity, okay? uh, taking a look at another statement that netanyahu has made here, which is, i think important rizby, and that is the fact that uh, he has said victory is within reach, and it will take months, not years uh, for the israeli regime, he didn't say regime, but the israeli regime, to achieve it. now when he says that, isn't that another way of saying based on the fact that we're looking at average of around 150 to 200 palestinians getting slaughtered and killed a daily basis, that that's how much this more that this will continue this on. thought which results in the so many deaths? well, of course, in at the end of the day, the huge number of deaths and sort of killings that have taken place in in gaza is incredible by all historical
6:09 am
proportion, all analys, all sort of human rights activists and everyone has commented that in a short space of time the amount of killings that have taken place in... just incredible, it's of a historical proportion of industrial level, so really and what blinken has been doing since the beginning of the resistance activity in the zionist entity is that he has been sort of just wasting the world's time, people's time, in fact to buy time for israel at the end of the day, because continuously this sort of this... idea of negotiations taking place, proposal, conter proposal, blincon comes back, goes back to washington, it just buys time, and israel designist entity continues to do what they want to do, but i think whatever netanyahu says, i think like our colleague
6:10 am
from iran was saying that, the resistance may not get 100%, but they will get a significant proportion of what they were demanding, but at the end of the day the three key facts that netanyahu always wanted was the destruction of hamas, release of all the hostages and sort of uh liberation of gazaf in his words from from the hamas elements and all those three aspects or three angles have not been achieved and they are not likely to be achieved no matter how much murder and mayhem that the zionist entity continues to inflict on the poor people in gaza. okay, i'm not too sure if it's worth discussing how this was brought forward in the first place. ali. salam if you if you can uh if you agree uh when when you had such differing stances when it came to either side on some core
6:11 am
issues like khamas wanting this regime forces uh to uh leave the gaza strip or um when you have osama hamdan for example the hamas uh rep in beirout saying that you know we need a independent palestinian state without us as its capital these two things is completely rejected by israel nonetheless uh here we are and we have had now reactions coming from hamas. and this comes from abu zuhri who has said um basically netanyahu dismissing the latest offer uh means that he intends to pursue conflict in the middle east um and he called it a form of political bravado uh saying his intention to pursue the conflict in the region is what this means is do you agree with with uh what he says there? absolutely it is political bravado and as our guests uh the resistance may not get 100% of what it is asking for. but design is entity will probably get nothing of what it's asking for hostages, but on the resistances terms of
6:12 am
releasing hostages, basically the resistance is going to get uh all these things gained for the palestinian people, they are not going to let the blood of these marters go to waste, and god himself will will be the guaranter of the the value of the blood of these marters, um so the the one who will basically lose everything, will be the zionist regime, and as far as like the back and forth, especially before the hamos made their proposal, there was some news made by qatar or and then it was refuted later because the qataris spoke too soon, this is because the basically the gcc regimes cannot be trusted, not even qatar who on the surface pretends to be pro- palestine, while we saw it one of these global conferences we saw one the qatari officials shaking hands with the same zionis official that is responsible for
6:13 am
slaughtering 12,00 palestinian children, okay, the they have no honor for themselves, yet these are the same people who facilitated fake after fake fatwa from their wahabi clerics, issuing so-called jihad against syria in order to fulfill the zianist agenda of taking out president basar. assad in order to cut off the weapons slow between iran and lebanon and palestine. um so so they're quick to act when it comes to uh their sectarian aims and serving the us and israeli agendas of getting revenge against resistance access countries like syria, but when it comes to palestine uh they do practically nothing and they even shake hands and contjol with these terrorist murderers who are killing their who are killing their muslim brothers, their arab brothers, the palestinian. the reason for deal has to do with the untrustworthy nature
6:14 am
this discrepancy between the terms of the the gcc and various international organizations like the un and etc. well when you when you talked about the fact that the us was buying time made me think that throughout the what so-called peace process that was happening on so many different stages throughout the past decade. um we have seen how us has indeed been accused of not being an impartial mediator and that all it did was to buy time uh to keep discussions going now you think that this is the case this time also mean you said it is but when you take a look at the uh the way anthony blincan has spoken and uh all this uh you know paris meeting where you had qatari pm there you had the cia chief from the us from egypt um uh participating in these uh talks um somebody something doesn't sound right
6:15 am
here, it sounds like this was a show that was put on again because there was differing stances and maybe because this is to show um at this from the us side that hey we tried and here we are, mean i don't know it depends on how you look at this, is is this the us uh putting a good show here that it was trying to buy time, well of course look uh you know as i said if one looks at the whole history the last 75 years since the advent of this atrocious regime is that they have played with people's good will if if you like globally saying that his an opportunity to have a conversation, is you know a meeting to take place in this particular city or that that place or having a quart or all kinds of things and at the same time also buying of the corrupt regimes in the arab world all the way from morocco to the gcc countries if you
6:16 am
like and you sort of having the abraham accords and all kinds of instruments. that have been used there to legitimize the zionist entity, because the streets of cairo, the streets of you, any of the arab cities are boiling at this moment, and they have actually not been in support of their own governments, as we saw in the so-called arab spring that took place over 10 years ago that there was regime change taking place in many countries in north africa. and at the end of the day you had a you know mursi was elected, but then was thrown out of power by cc if you like, because they obviously didn't want a government in cairo that would be supportive the palestinian cause, because during the 12 to 14 months that mi was in power, there was
6:17 am
good reproshm, good relationship taking place with the the the hamas. people there in in in gaza and all kinds of opportunities were being created, so of course the washington is the key underwriter of the zionist entity, if if usa decides to sort of tighten the screw then things will change, but obviously at the end of the day the zionist entity is the colonial outpost of the usa and the european country. "therefore they are not willing to abandon this particular enterprise that quickly, but we know historically that all colonial powers in the last 100 years have had to vacate those countries where they had their foot and this is what's likely to happen uh to the zionist entity and this is
6:18 am
not i am saying ilam pape recently a lecture in london said that the days of the zionist" entity are numbered. all right, we're looking now at what anthony blinken has said, because this is in real time that we're getting the the information, so this is salam, anthony blincan, lot of work remains to be done to secure a deal on an extended truth when it comes to he calls the israel war on gaza and captive prisoner exchange. so uh, either he's detached a little bit from reality, or is he's the us through anthony? is trying to show or anthony blincan representing the us is trying to show that the us has not lost this, but if you really think about the investment that the us has made in this genocidal war, 250 to 300, i think at this point plane loads of military equipment sent there, and uh, all the support intel-wise and what have you has not uh proven to be successful in defeating hamas, it's the us
6:19 am
that has lost this war also, isn't that what the us is afraid of here? it's definitely a... pr recovery move, they're trying to avoid looking like they they've been embarrassed, that the one of the poorest populations that's basically contained in open air concentration camp is able to humiliates along with its allies in other other countries like lebanon and yemen, they're able to defeat one of the most well-funded armies in the world and it's due to us funding so it's the us has a... so anthony blincan is not really an impartial moderator here to be able to negotiate or figure out the solution, one because the united states and the zionist regimes share a very similar ideology, they're holy opposed to divine morality, even though they claim it, they're serving the satanic ideology of
6:20 am
supremacism, as the first supremacist was lucifer iblis himself, as in the holy quran. um and so they have that same ideology that comes from that luciferian branch and top of that anthony blincon has come to the zinus entity several months ago and said i come here as a jew he's so he's saying i have this kind of i'm not impartial like he has this loyalty to the zionist concept and he and so when you combine those two factors it's impossible for the us to to be mediator in this situation so there there's two camps that's playing out here, there is like escalatory faction and deescalatory faction, and both have the same goal of preserving the zionist regime, of preserving the american hegemmany around the world just through different tactics, the the wolf and... the wolfs and sheep's clothing, the one with the fake smiley face, so uh, now that they realize that there that they can't afford a larger war in west asia, they can't, they
6:21 am
they were putting on this show and we're going to attack west asia in response to the drone attacks by the iraqi resistance against the us base that president bashar al-assad informed the world that this is actually a isis training center that is the us base, so they want us to cry crocodile tears for the strike on their isis training. center, they never struck iran because they're too scared to, so any kind of deescalation if the deescalatory faction uh wins over is not due to their humanitarianism, but it's due to basically humiliation, they have no choice but to deescaly, and the same time you see very psychopathic leaders like netanyahu who are trying escalate further within the restraints that they have, because of you know they they just cannot win in this situation militarily ' so they're going to lose on both sides, just how much more blood is going to be spilled, on the deescalatory side, they're going to come in with soft war, they're going to come in with another oslo accords, to humiliate gaza and put gaza under
6:22 am
the control of a palestinian leadership that is puppet of the zionist regime in the same way that mahmoud abbas and the palestinian authority is a direct puppet of the zionist occupation authorities, so for example when elon musk talks talks about rebuilding gaza, he's talking about rebuilding gaza. without the uh independent sovereign palestinian government ruling over gaza, so they we have, i think the the software site should be watched carefully, because we're all very heartbroken by all this pain and suffering, let's make sure that false peace, which is not predicated on justice, which is about basically enslaving the palestinian people is not something that takes the place of this war, well we're we're looking a very dangerous situation that even the un chief. has come out sounding the alarm and that is about the reports that israel is pledging to go ahead with assaults as uh he calls it, but uh really the genocide to continue there in ruffa, about 1.4 million palestinians are
6:23 am
there, is that something that's going to happen, do you think that the aim is to displace palestinians by attacking that area and then thinking uh that the under the false imagination that they are able to then perhaps go after uh hamas and be able to defeat them um from every corner uh they have come out and said that israel was unable to defeat hamas, hamas is not is not going to be defeated, so what do you think, do you think the that israel has the goal of attacking first of all the rafa area where you have about over million of palestinians there at this point? well look, it's very clear that since the um attack that the zionist entity started inflicting on the gazans, firstly it was sort of northern part of gaza, gaza city and all the other sort of refugee camps around there, then central part of gaza, then slowly moving to hanunis and now gaza, rafa
6:24 am
as well, so they've been sort of hoodwinking the world and also trying to sort of persuade the garsans to leave parts of their hometown or home places and move to so-called safe place, but it has appeared over the last 120 odd days that "there is no safe place, if one place becomes safe, then people move to another place, and that becomes unsafe. there've been many reports that people have moved three, four, five times during the last so many days of this brutal mass murder taking place, so i, i, i am sort of very suspicious and really sort of sadden to reflect on this that probably the zionist entity will continue." to gaza and trying to inflict as much murder there as possible before we have some sanity that take place to
6:25 am
bring about peace for the gazans. indeed, unfortunately we fresh out of time, but thank you shab resby, political analyst from london, thank you ali salam, editor and chief at basira press from tehran. with that, we come to an end for this edition of the spotlight, from the team, it's goodbye. i believe that working together we can make a street.
6:26 am
6:27 am
st. louis ferguson. assassinations, they
6:28 am
don't have nothing, they can't lose nothing, and i think the most dangerous person in the world, person don't have nothing to lose. black americans looking for justice, if this is a war then we're going to have. deal with it with the strategies that people in war use, i saw his, i saw um, the never ending story.
