of the genocide in gaza has continued unabated by. on the political side, there have been some major developments after the assassination of the hamas political bureau chief ismahana, hamas has new leader, yahya sinwar. hamasa said this means it will continue its path of resistance. in this edition of the spotlight, we will look at what this means and how his impontment will impact ceire negotiations. we also discuss the outcome of the meeting of the oic that was held in jeddha, along with some major statements that the hisbollah secretary general has made in his recent speech with focus on the recent assassination of ismahana and the retaliation, joining us to discuss

that, first we have say mohsan abbas, journalist and political commentator who of joins us from london, so bas, welcome, when you want to take a look at the appointment of senoir, obviously um the message that that sends is abound in terms of what it means, um, the sense of unity within hamas obviously is one of them, what's your impression of this appointment now? well, yeah, sinwar is probably number one on the hit list of the the mossad and the israeli army, he essentially is ground operations commander uh for the resistance in gaza and they've been hunting and searching for him for of course uh as long as one can imagine any conflict between israel and and the palestinians has been going on in recent memory so yeah is hugely significant character to come to the four as leader because it it really just shows that actually uh ismail han was probably better bet he was more of a the

negotiation fraternity, the kind of person who would would have been happy to strike some kind of deal if it was reasonable, but of course no deal could be strucked even even with uh ismail because uh the israelis don't want to deal and not to the americans want any kind of deal which has any fairness for of for the palestinians and bringing yahya sin war means essentially uh the the situation is much worse for israel because now you've got somebody who's... really totally committed to an absolute probably upgrade of palestinian resistance uh capabilities, he's got on the ground experience in the war itself, he has that credibility of being on on the ground there, fighting and and being right in in the midst of things, and of course he's he is very solidly with the access of resistance, which means the axiss of resistance also knows that the trajectory of the palestinian resistance. is uh is going to be consistent,

it's going to be solid and they can continue to work together in unison with synergies and and to to tackle the uh the israeli offensives and atrocities in the coming in the coming months. great, let me bring in spokes person of the masar movement who joins us from vancouver. welcome, so you have yahya sanjar being appointed here and it's interesting the way that this is being depicted when it comes to the impression. that one has through the western uh false western narrative, but the way that this is going to um advance the resistance agenda is my question to you as to where we may see differences when it comes to the way was and now with this appointments and where the palestinian cause is going to go with him? yes, i think the important thing is what the palestinian people and the palestinian resistance. and what serves the strategy of

the access of resistance in the region? the of vast majority of the palestinian people celebrated the decision by hamas movement electing brother yahya sanwar abubrahim to be the head of the polit bureau of hamas. this is a man that have a and the respect and admiration of the palestinian people. sanwar is a leader that spend over 22 years in israeli present, he have very long journey of struggle against designist enemy, he is a voice of unity, not just in ghazza but also in throughout palestine and the region, and he is also a person who have proved by words of and deads. his ability of leading the

of palestinian resistance in this very important and sensitive juncture in the region and internationally. we know that the... the zionist enemy and the us, the western powers are going to of course, you know, call him all kind of names. in fact, israel is calling for the assassination of all hamas leads, leaders and not just inward, we know that they just assassinated hania who is considered to be kind of moderate and a political you know person who was handling the negotiations and killed him in tahran, the you know israel have learned uh the message and the response of the palestinian resistance by electing sinwar, which means that they are going to deal with the head of the palestinian resistance in ghazza and also

that there will be escalation all throughout palestine from the river to the sea, israel have made fatal strategic mistakes. uh, you know, throughout the uh, aqsa flood and all these war crimes, but especially lately by assassinating hania, assassinating, you know, fuad shukr, the commander of hizballah forces in lebanon, and we think that we have entered new stage where israel and the united states are very close to strategic defeat in the region. sure, well, to expand on that a little bit with you here, simon abbas, i mean it's very interesting to uh... have the israel foreign minister who has come out and said that we need to go for the assassination of this uh uh appointment yah sanwar um they were very quick uh as to the way they reacted to this, well we know that the uh sinmar has been on their radar just like other uh resistance leaders, but uh to come out so

quickly saying that uh first of all what does that mean? does that mean that there is no way that there's going to be any type of seasfire negotiations that may move forward at this point? is that dead deal? "that's exactly what their intention is, they don't feel that they need to have any kind of cease fire, they're desperate to crushed ethnic cleanse, destroy, genocide, whatever uh has anything attached to the the palestinian cause, i mean that in doesn't just mean the people in gaza, it also means in the medium term those in the west bank, and i believe it also means uh their neighbors in lebanon as as well as anybody else who is siding with palestine, and of course..." uh they they have made this belligerantly clear, they essentially are continuing to get a full and free supply of arms, the heaviest, the most deadly weapons and military arsenal and missiles from the americans, they continue to

get encouragement from the the the anglosphere generally, they being given every diplomatic encouragement, no progress is really being pushed by the... americans in genuine way, and if they couldn't do it with - with ismael han and and his his conciliatory approaches, then i i can assure you that withw they're not going to get uh any mileage whatsoever, and what will happen is that the palestinian resistance and the access of resistance will become stronger and it will become much harder for the israelis to manage than it's already been. i mean, they failed, for instance, i mean the international community. force has to hang its head in shame because they failed to bring israel to any kind of book, they failed to allow you know the palestinians hostages, which i call them hostages, the they're being tortured in in the prison cells of palestine, yet all we hear about is the the torture cells of israel, i mean, but yet all we hear

is is the handful of the the israeli if you like prisoners of war who are are held legitimately, of course all of this... is really ultimately now spinning towards perhaps a regional regional crisis and of course we're still waiting for the islamic republic of iran to respond to the uh the extrajudicial killing of ismail han, so we haven't had that complete and yet here we have an israeli minister talking about killing more uh hamas leaders, of course that means that they want to accelerate war and the lack of effort in terms of a cease fire means that they're not interested in any kind of... uh civilized negotiations whatsoever, well it's interesting that when we talk about this how the white house has reacted and what we're looking at baracat is a statement coming from the white house just in the past couple hours where they have said that the hamas leader yahya sambar quote needs to decide now to take this deal to get caseware

in place uh saying that the deal is closer than ever, that doesn't quite go go with what we just discussed does it? no, and the people the region and the palestinian people understand that united states is not just complicit in these war crimes, they are leading these war crimes, they are supplying is. israel with all of the zienist war machines, they are supporting israel military, financially, politically, covering israeli war crimes and genocide worldwide. united states is responsible on every palestinian child that was killed at the hands of the designist army in ghazza and throughout the conflict. the united states is pathological liers, no one trusts them, no one believes. them including their collaborators and those who uh they

considered in the region to be moderate, they they they also are not exactly confidence on the united states position, we have seen what the united states is doing on the ground, biden administration have continuously supported netanyahu, although in some you know media outlets, you would hear that some kind of an... us officials expressing disagreement here and there, but in reality we see that the united states immediately start moving its military ships in the region to defend israel, and this is a public declared us position, no matter what israel commits of crimes, the united states protected, every time the united nation calls for sease fire, the united states block it, the united states veto is always ready to put. israel and the palestinian people and the people of the region understand that their enemy is the united states and western

backers of the zionist regime, everyone knows that this is not something new. now the united states is failing in all fronts and yes they don't want a regional war because they cannot afford a regional war and they might defend israel as they did in april 13 when iran you know uh attacked the zionist regime in response to the uh aggression against the iranian embassy in damascus, we saw how israel needed the protection of the united states, france, italy, britain, some the arab reactionary collaborator regimes like jordan, emirates and saudi arabia and others and still israel considered that you know uh "it did not you know it did not israel deterrance was shattered and now the

israeli economy is crumbling, if you watch what is the discussion that is happening today in the zionist regime, whether in the military or political ranks, whether in media or even the general public, they are deteriorating, they are reckless, they are not organized, and yet the access of resistance have a strategy and..." and it's coordinating its efforts and actions in very well organized manner. well, we um had the word retaliation here and uh say mosan abbas uh, i'm going to come in uh on the military aspect of this retaliation. we know what happened in operation true promise. this time around, not only iran but the other resistance groups also, including yemen, um, have said that this is going to be different this time around, just looking at the capabilities that iran's uh missiles have. including their drones, the mere fact that it has hypersonic missiles of which the fattah 2

was unveiled and also the missiles that have the range that it does, the military perspective of this all points to the fact that israel will be defeated, so the always the big question mark here is um, even with the help of the us and its allies if they were to use anything to thort the... missiles, it's israel will still get lots of hits all over the place because of the reach the missiles, why would israel uh then go through if it will uh with this type of miscalculation that it did and now that it says it's going to militarily respond? well the the fate of israel i think is pretty much sealed and they know it and what's driving them is that they're caught between rock and a hard place on the one hand as you as you rightly point out iran's military... parity in terms of hypersonics, missiles, ballistics, even their navy uh, the the

tanks, if you would compare, iran has 1500, 1500 tanks, israel has 400, you've got around um, you know, 169,000 israeli soldiers, you've got 610,000 iranian soldiers in in a standing army, combat aircraft, of course the israelies have got superior air uh capabilities in terms of the the the quality their opens, but they're still actually 340 to 288 is actually what the the the the party and even in the navy, if you were to go across the navy, iran has a one of the the top navies in the world, amongst arguily the top 10 or or 13 nowadays, now that all says is... will not get away with uh with with just simply striking uh iran and uh having a free ride, it will get uh knocked out. iran's capabilities in terms of cyber technology mean that they will be able to jam lot of the israeli mechanisms and systems, they already can and they proved it with the last strike. so uh, the fact that they're so desperate that they're willing to provoke iran and the

accessal resistance including yemen, iraq, syria, towards an all out regional war, tells you something. about the current battle, it tells you that israel is losing and it tells you that they their the the the tactic that the excess of resistance has employed is one of asymmetric uh if you like war of attrition really almost like a it's almost like a python strangling its prey and israel is the prey it's being strangled as as was pointed out that their economy is collapsing uh their settlers colonialist folk on the on the edges of north northern occupied palestine and southern occupied palestine are all, they've all left, there's been million or so people, hundreds of thousand certainly in excess of half million for sure, who've actually just done exidus, there's another million or so that have left the country already, romania etc. and many other countries are reporting that they've got they've got dual

nationalities for these israelis to to run away to these countries, and so uh the there is a general uh realization in the uh in the the israeli establishment they can't win either way and they they guess by hitting the panic button they're trying to with bring in the americans in an offensive capacity the british the americans and the nato hoping that that's one last way they can they can save themselves but i'm afraid i think that the writing is on the wall israel will will die whether it's five years 10 years nobody can give a time or date but if he's on the way. now some of the settlements there uh is what the uh secretary general sasanlah has actually stated in a very powerful speech that he gave uh yesterday let's look at some of those statements one of them is the fact that was clearly just mentioned that is on the economic front is really suffering is hemoraging rather badly and it's very hard to

imagine how he can grow out of it and it's interesting that it still has an appetite to continue this genocidal war on the other hand amongst many points that he made there, talked about the retaliation that it could be something that's going to be multipronged, in other words a few of these groups along with maybe iran who knows might go through with the retaliation, what is your feeling on that, and if that happens where would things stand? i think the speech of sayd hasan nasrday was a historical and strategic one, because it was very clear in the important and priority. the access of resistance now, but it also shed lights on israel weakness and position. in one hand, he literally listed the factories and how much it costed the israels in the north of palestine, and that this infrastructure, industry

infrastructure in the north that israel has been building for the last 34 years, he said it will vanish in one hour, and the israelis believe him, of course we believe him, and we think that the resistance have the upper hand. the other issue that he highlighted is that israel is going to lose definitely, because the strategy of netanyahu have been failing in prolonging you know the war and extending the time of his govern. and also he said that all other options have failed in the last 30 years in term of the illusions of establishing a palestinian state, and he is absolutely correct, because today the palestinian people across the board have an alternative revolutionary path represented by the palestinian resistance and the access of

resistance, also he said that iran does not have to be involved in a... after this retaliation or even syria, because the resistance supported by iran is capable of engaging in a very long war and that israel is going to come out defeated, the israeli public and the israeli media, immediately we saw the effect of his speech on the israeli internal front and the the immediate response of even some of the israeli. that they don't want to see a regional war in the you know in the region and that you know you know there should be no escalation the lebanese res and especially the yesterday's speech by sad hasan nasar allah, i think that he draw kind of road map where people and the popular

cradle of the resistance understand very well that what next steps the resistance is going to be taking, although there was no revealing the tactics, when, how, where, but he said iran will respond, yemen will respond and the lebanese resistance will respond and that... has been a decision made, indeed, the speculations are are pretty um, there's so many of them, sayid, i'm sure you agree, uh, only time will tell when that's going to happen, i'm curious as to the way that uh, we're going to see the cooperation of regional countries that cooperated last time around when it came to the us and his positioning militarily trying to uh, i guess hit the uh incoming missiles of which there were some countries that cooperated with it such as jordan ' what what do you think, do you think i mean there's some news that jordan is not going to do that this time around uh, but you know that i'll leave that up to you to answer and other countries that may want either their airspace or otherwise

to cooperate with the us, which iran has said, by the way, if you do do that, you will be our target also, yeah, it's a fascinating scenario, first of all the psychological impact of iran waiting for this uh, this promised revenge or this, this this this stripe that they say? is uh is not to be underestimated, the israelis are sitting there waiting, wondering, searching where this is going to come from, who's going to do it, how they going to do it, this in itself is psychological warfare that the axis of resistance is very adept at and is using to great effect, because the morale uh in the israeli uh, you know, if you like settler colonialist fraternity uh is is dropping day by day with this kind of um this tactic. so but in reality of course any strike that comes, it could come in the form of uh, it could come in the form of ground operations, it could come in the form of missiles from

hezbollah, it could come from iraq again in the form of missiles, it could come from yemen with increase of the attack on on shipping etc. or and it could be all of those, it could be a combination of those, because this is not just his didn't belong to iran alone, he wasn't just ally of iran. he was ally of all of the axis of resistance, so all of the axis of resistance has a investment in making sure that israel understands that when it does these things they have a price to pay, but also don't forget that the accessal resistance does not really change its strategy uh based on the actions of israel, they're not going to be reactionary, they've got a tactic, i think the war of attrition and gradually destroying israel is still what they're going to continue and israel wants them to to to have a direct war. they can take the emphasis off palestine uh and and that so they want the emphasis a war with iran 25 times benjamin netanyahu did this in his speech in to congress so i don't think that iran is going

to provoke a full-on war all right sorry to cut you there last question quickly if you can barkat uh you have this emergency meeting that was held by the oic and of course they condemned the assassination that happened at the request of the iran and pakistan this meeting was held but pretty unanimous across the board when it comes to the palestinian issue what do you make of that meeting will it have any? regarding the whole state of affairs related to palestine, honestly all the, these meetings and summits, the only political position that have weight, i'll say, is the position of iran, because it talks about a practical and actual actions in support of the palestinian people and the resistant and confronting us, germany, we see lot of... statements, but we don't see real actions, the same goes on the arab league who just have service and statements that is empty and has no value whatsoever. thank you

for that, spokesperson, movement from vancouver say, thank you, journalist and political commentator from london. with that we come to an end for this additional world news, thanks for being with us, let's byebye for now. by the time you see this, the world might be at war, the middle east and west asia, almost certainly, so the world waits for the new superpower in the west asian theater of operations, the islamic republic of iran and its friends in the access of resistance to italian to... the israeli savagery that killed two important commanders, have it out with gallow, why don't you?

by the time you see the significant parts of the middle east and west asia may be in flames, as opposed to the normal flames, the flames of the tents in gaza, where women have to stand outside and listen to their children screaming as they are incinerated, the flames in the south of lebanon regularly bombed by the... apartite state, the flames in syria, the flames elsewhere in the middle east, the normal flames that for more than 75 years have been lit and spread by the apartite state, occupied palestine, is sea of flames all of the time, sometimes seen, sometimes hidden, but always burning, the anger.
