of as well as target aerial surveillance space in the opera region with 40 rockets and this target being deeper inside the occupied territories this time. the attack was in of response to the monday israeli strike on the lebanese city of ballback that left two civilians dead. the resistance group has also shot down an israeli drone over southern lebanon. hasb and israel have been engaged in clashes since the israely regime launched its genocidal war on gaza early october. mean time true stocks are also ongoing. in the

katatari capital over the genocidal war on gaza, so what's the future holding for gaza? what is the hisb israeli conflict heading for? welcome to the spotlight, i'm your host and these are our guests in this edition of the program. el journalists and joining us from brussels. also with us will beman journalist. and host a press tv's made stream program out of beirot. now let me welcome both my guests to the show. beginning with elijah. this genocidal war that the israeli regime has waged the elijah on gaza has impacted the region it is kind of a spread. you know that resistance fighters have not been sitting idol byy, they haven't performing their own retaliatory operations. now we're talking. talking about the

hezbollah in this episode more, hezbolah is one of them, and it seems that some analysts maintain that even if the war in gaza stops the tension between tel aviv and hisbollah could linger on, do you agree with that, and if so, where could that end up in? thank you of for having me, sure, i'm not sure that israel can afford to see the war continuing on the lebanese borders, because... the hizbullah capability that has manifested in the last four and a half months and we have seen how hisbullah gradually used sophisticated missiles, drones, heavy rockets and prove the capability of selecting specific and precise military targets all along the 100 to 110 kilometers all along the lebanese borders.

moreover, we have seen also drones going more than 90 kilometers inside palestine, the bypassing even ha, and we have seen how the hezbullah is bombarded the golan hight, safad and other targets showing that it can keep up with the israeli challenge. however, what has been introduced recently was the anti-air missile. that drove the israeli totally out of their balance when the drone the hermes 450 that can fly up to 20 thousand feet was down by the hizbullahi anti- air unit. this is why hizbullah is showing its military capability and is hiding even much more the met the hizbullah started the war and hizbullah is saying that is ready to f it.

israelis are only saying that they will continue if the diplomatic um mediation has failed or will fail in convincing hisbollah to stop the war. therefore it is always conditioned with an element that the israelis are making sure they offer it to the audience that they really don't want to engage in all-out war immediately and have only this option, even if they have instructed their people that the war will last until the beginning of the month of august. okay, now um, of course there is this division among the israeli officials, we know about that, and we have some radical one of like the israely war minister uf galan saying that there will be no decline in his words in israely action against hisbolla, even if the seas fire is agreed upon in gaza, we'll talk about seys fire later in the show. so... do

you share the same view as elijah? talking about um what is happening, especially what youav galant said, i think we've heard ya galant. say the same thing in uh the first se fire that was announced in the war on gaza, i think it was the first after the first month and a half, and i think that it was not necessarily a message towards his own people as much as it was some sort of message towards the internal lebanese society by trying to threaten them not to go back to their houses in the event that there was... was the seasfire uh announced, because even if seasfire gets hold of lebanon as well, after it gets hold of gaza, zinist israeli settlers will not go back to their settlements and the reason why is that they have made it clear that they will not go back

even if seas spire is made with lebanon because they uh don't feel safe, this is what they are saying, so yuavgaland is trying somehow to keep also the lebanese border. out of, keeping the lebanese people out of the lebanese border as well, because he knows very well, even if the seasfire takes place, the israeli settlers are not going back, because they are demanding a conclusive truth, some sort of a peace plan with lebanon, or else they will not return, and we have heard lot of issues, lot of issues being discussed about this matter over the fact that there are some political people being sent to... intermediate in lebanon, especially from the united states of america, telling hispalah that there might be some sort of a political solution that they might reach with designist entity, a political one rather than a military one, and hisbullah said that repeats what they keep saying,

repeats what we heard hasan nasullah say since the beginning of the war on gaza up until now that hisbullah will stop when the war on gaza stops and sa hasan nasal in his last speech he made it clear that in the event of a cease fire in gaza, hisbollah will stop fire, but if designist entity continues to fire, hisbollah will file equally in a deterrent manner, the same manner that we have been seeing, yes it has been escalating but a very, very slow pace, but uh at the end the day it is being confined to certain areas to certain targets and not getting involved for example with the capital or with major residential areas, despite the fact that zinist israel always uh bombard. resid the residential areas and claims that it is targeting when in reality and after the lebanese authorities investigate they find that they are either privately owned companies or residential areas where literal lebanese civilians were just living with

their families there okay now uh elijah lebanese resistance fighters you know they have mainly targeted israeli military positions but you see that the israeli regime has targeted resident areas in lebanon and causing the death of number of civilians there, so it's not only the gaza strip that you see these disregard is everywhere for civilian lives no matter where, now you see this also noticeable in lebanon, because israel is are careless about civilian lives, we have seen how little importance they give to the geneva convention and to the international laws in gaza. "they have done that in the past against lebanon, in the many previous wars. this is why it is not surprising when we see the israelies trying to target the uh lebanese civilians and trying to drag hizbullahh into a wider war.

this is something that hisbullah is very conscientious about and this is why hisbullah is limiting always the fight and the war in support of gaza so the palestinian. cause is always in the center of attention and bringing back the israelies to the same rules of engagement and imposing deterrance on the israelis, even if sometimes what the israel do is quite painful when they kill civilians that are supposed to be spared, but at the end of the day the world is dealing with the most immoral army in the world, and we have seen how the israel behaving, have behaved in the past and are behaving today in palestine, so i am not surprised for to see this behavior of the israelis and trying always to hit those who are the weakest in any war, right? and marwa, lots of people have been

displaced from both sides of the border, especially uh from the israeli side, thousands of people have been displaced in this exchange of fire between the two. sites as well in the iof and i remember uh as well chief warning the telaviv regime just recently maybe a couple of weeks back that uh if they uh... take further steps and if they move toward further escalation uh hasballah will do something so that the you know israel have to be uh actually forced to evacuate maybe two million israelies uh close to the border so i want to ask you uh do you would you expect this in any way to turn into a full fledged war and if that happens who would be the loser at the end of the day um that was i think the only uh option. that this might end up being a full-fledged war is directly related to the preliminary results

the us elections, it has nothing to do whatsoever with what the israelis want or can do, because if it's only about the israeli capability, it is definitely a no, the answer to your question would be no, but we have to look at it from a wider angle, if the biden administration is not going to be able to stop donald. trump from returning to power, i think the us might go ahead and in order to try and use code 606 for their own country, which means stopping uh the elections because of major war that might take place that would end up having the united states of america get involved, then yes, the answer to your question would be yes, but at the moment reading what's happening, looking at the regional politics, the international politics and the us politics and also..." riding into the internal israeli politics when you see how the protests against netanyahu and the

war cabinet in general is escalating, people are going back to the streets same as they did before the war, because if you remember they were in the streets for like 54 to 56 weeks trying to get rid of the netanyahu government because of the reform plans that they wanted to impose on their judicial system. now we are seeing a return to the protest not with the same intensity, but it is being said that in the event that cease fire happens, we will see protests in the streets the same way we did before, so that's a more pressure on the israeli government to stop the war, so if it is only according to the variables that are found inside of the israeli entity, the answer is definitely not okay, now let's now take a glance of the situation in the gaza strip and related developments there, katary forum ministry spokesman marsari says that doha is optimistic that the deal on the seas fire will be achieved before ramadan and also we have us president joe biden uh hoping that this will happen by next monday, but hamas

speaking of uh some big gaps to be bridged before a deal is reached uh is deal around the corner in your opinion? i think these fire is something that everybody wants at the moment, but what benyamin netanyahu is trying to do is to bring a goat in a farm at. last moment, because he feels in a strong position and he feels by starving the population, by continuing the bombardment in gaza, even if he has not achieved any of the declared objectives at the beginning of the war, he can twist the arms of the palestinian resistance because he doesn't care about the 136 israeli prisoners, so what he's trying to do is he's trying to accommodate the... american pressure, at the same time the families of the prisoners by releasing a

small number, there been a talk about 40 prisoners to be released in exchange of a certain number of palestinian prisoners that has not been agreed upon yet, but at the same time it is important to keep the muslims away from fighting during the month of ramadan that will end also by the beginning of the jewish. feast that would last for seven days on the 22nd of april, so this kind of combination, it is suitable for the israelis and for the palestinians to breathe a little bit and to have less bombardment a daily basis against the civilians, allow the civilians to go and see what happened to their beloved one or if they can find something still standing or perhaps have more humanitarian. aid because the israel has been violating the icj uh order and the

international laws and committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by denying the population the basic service basic need to survive and denying them water, food and electricity, so for that i think it the problem are the details of the deal and netanyahu is... trying to squeeze as much as possible, to give less concession and to offer himself as a good negotiator to his people and at the same time a plan to continue the war on gaza after the seas fire. now marwan, you know that nato has also threatened to launch this military assault on rafa, and you now what the situation is raffa like, more than million palestinians have been forced into displacement there and some them are being starved to death. another weapon that unfortunately israel is using,

apart from all those you know us made weapons and all that that they are using against them, they're also being starved to death. dying of some preventable diseases, so uh, netanyahu is just saying that the attack on rafa will happen, definitely, that's for sure, and a possible uh cease fire deal would only postpone it, so let's have your assessment of the situation, i think that he means it, and uh, i think that the biden administration uh, despite the fact that they keep saying that they don't like it, they would see a catastrophe coming out of it, or that... have many times asked the israeli entity not to harm any civilians while the arafah operation is underway, they did not tell the israeli entity they're not allowed to initiate any sort of ground invasion or air invasion against rafah, which means that the united states of america actually gave the green light for such horrific operation

that might end up in a second vase of the genocide that we witnessed before and are still witnessing massacers that come out of this genocide, so i think that um, if there is something that would stop netanyahu, it would have to be some sort of internal pressure or elevated resistance coming from palestine in specific and the access of resistance by default, but if netanyahu is to break the seas fire, which is also a possibility, because we saw how the the first part of the paris talks just went... down the drain because felt like it and decided that he wants to finish off with khan units and probably start something in but was then stopped by the americans for the sole purpose of uh approaching ramadan and what ramadan means the holy month of ramadan means for all muslims and especially the muslims of palestine who would go and pray in alaksa and not allowing them or continuing the genocide during the month with only elevate and

escalate the situation against the entire axis of resistance but in case netanyahu this decides to break the cease fire or wait till until the ceasfire, which supposedly according to uh certain sources coming from egypt and qatar that it would be around 45 to 50 days, if he's going to wait 45 to 50 days and then relaunch that attack on rafaah, i think the first thing that he would be doing is pushing the uh current displaced people, the refugees rafa north either to gaza or northern than that, but under the condition that he's been stating several times right now, whether in the scientis media or elsewhere that he will not allow men to go with the women and the children and the elderly, so i think what we saw in the northern part of gaza where the israeli entity occupation forces entered forcefully with merkava and what not to basically just incarcerate everyone there, including the

paramedics and the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in helping directly helping the civilians will happen. again and rafah and he might take advantage of this 40 to 50 days truth to uh maybe let off some of the civilians who will either accept going back to the north under certain conditions or completely leaving into the sini desert and either way it's a catastrophe it's a second neckba for the palestinian people okay elijah how do you look at this what's going to become of rafa? i don't think the israelis can afford no to occupy rafah, because benyamin netanyahu have said already that he has still four hamas battalion to deal with in the area of frafa, however he needs to look after the 1979 um david agreement with the egyptians, because he is not allowed to put more than four battalions on the borders

with egypt, that will require a lot of effort international. personal effort and pressure from the americans, nevertheless the resistance can never be defeated because we have seen how he claimed to have occupied the north and occupied the middle, but occupying is something and controlling something else, the resistance is still bombarding the israeli settlement from the north, the israelis are still bombing the north with artillery and airplane, which means that this there is a still significant resistance in the north and he is still engaged in kanyunis, therefore everything he's saying is just to keep the battle as long as possible, allowing him to sort out his domestic affairs and make sure that there is no strong appetite for a very early election where he

is going to be accountable for all the mistakes that he did according to the israeli society on the 7th of october and also the corruption charges, therefore it is not a promenade that is going to go to rafah because the palestinian resistance is still strong, more over, "the international community, although they are finding excuses for israel, saying you need to displace 1.5 million internally displaced palestinians from rafah, it is not that easy to send an army operating on the ground with so many civilians around, even if he doesn't care a lot about civilians, so between what he saying in what he can do, there is still a huge gap, and this is why the..." this fire will allow him to reorganize himself or analys perhaps something new can be presented during the time of the cease fire when longer

negotiation can be presented and available and that can relieve both sides. okay, that's all the time we have. let me thank my guests elijah magnier, journalist analyst in brussels, marball osman, journalist public and my colleague at press tv in beirot. and thank you for watching, this... the spotlight, i've been your host and i'll see you next time, either you're with us or you're with the enemy, there's no in between, and that doctrine still stands, المتحده وعلى كل ما تريده الولايات المتحده لكان قد اطيح به كان المفروض عندما يسقطون النظام يسلمون الدوله للمعارضه هم اسقطوا النظام والدوله معا وسلموا

المعارضه صراع على السلطه اول من وجه ضربه للامريكان في العراق هي الفصائل الشيعيه المدعومه من ابومهدی یک سؤال بزرگ در مقابل آمریکا ای um, well in the 1981 hunger strike there was initially there was only four people ever going to be on it, um, i'll begin with b and frank and pen and um and then one of them

died that there would be be replaced so there was ever only ever going to be four on it one time but in june it was decided to increase the numbers on it so each monday someone you joined it uh not because someone had died but because we bring up the numbers so i joined on the which was the last one out of that four uh to join on the 29th of june, um, but that time um, four people had already had already died, i believe that working together we can make history.
