12:02 pm
zinus israel knows all too well that yahya sinwar understands it better that it understands him. crafted by zinus detention centers sinwar holds a powerful symbolic presence in the israeli entity psychee. following the launch of operation al-aqsa flood. numerous israeli entity security. officials have come forward to share their experiences about snwar. across the board, israeli entity commentators have described sinwar as exceptionally intelligent, remarkably tough, and most importantly, master organizer who deeply understands the israeli entity mindset. in any context, it's impossible to separate the trajectory of the genocidal war on gaza and the resilience of the resistance from hamas's decision to appoint yahya sanwar to lead the movement at this very critical and strategic juncture.
12:03 pm
both in the history of the organization and the palestinian revolution. analysts view this decision as a bold challenge to zinus israel, as if hamas is telling the israeli entity, if you assassinated the man some of your politicians labeled as moderate, we've brought you the toughest, most stubborn, battle-hardened and radical leader in hamas. hamas's decision also signals that its leadership structure and organizational capacity have been swiftly restored despite the damage caused by hannah's. nation, it sends a clear message that the movement remains united and fully capable of selecting a leader for its political bureau. according to hamas's internal structure, the movement is governed by a shura system with three key regions: abroad, led by khalid, the west bank, previously led by the martered sheikh salih and now by his deputy zaharbarin and gaza under the leadership of yahya sinwar. the selection of yahya sinwar, a man zionist israel has failed to eliminate sends a
12:04 pm
powerful message. zyanus israel's tactics of pressuring the leadership by targeting their families, as they did with haniye, or attempting to weaken the movement by assassinating its leaders will not break hamas's resolve. now the most wanted man in of tel aviv whom they couldn't reach during the war is leading the movement right from the battlefield. one of hamas's key messages here is that the mantle of resistance leadership lies in gaza, placing the military and organizational weight in its hands. yahya sanwar is seen as the most capable leader to guide the movement through one of the greatest battles in palestinian history. welcome to the mid streamman. about a week after the martterdom of ismail hany, the head of the political bureau of the islamic resistance. hamas, the movement
12:05 pm
surprised the world by selecting yahya sanwar as his successor. israeli entity authorities described the selection of sanwanda as message to zionist israel that he is alive and that the leadership of hamas and gaza is strong, resilient and here to stay. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is mr. saleh abuizza, geopolitical analyst originally from jane in the occupied west bank. a pleasure having you with us. mr. saleh, now how does yahya sinwar's leadership and strategic approach reflect a shift in hamas's operational and tactical capabilities, especially in the uh recent military engagements amit the ongoing genocide in gaza. firstly, the presence of commander yahya sinwar in the gaza strip, specifically, rather than another region or area designated by hamas, significantly strengthens his leadership within the movement.
12:06 pm
fourth and perhaps most crucial point is that the palestinian resistance is an integral part of a broader axis known as the axis of resistance. commander does not view this relationship as merely tactical or based on interests, rather, he believes that hamas and the palestinian resistance in all its forms should be genuinely embedded within the of access. his belief in these principles.
12:07 pm
there's a very important question that's being asked about the role of mr. yahya sinwar here, what is sanwar's appointment signal about hamas's internal dynamics to begin with, and his resilience in the face of the constant israeli entity pressure, particularly concerning uh the ability of hamas to maintain a united front and effective leadership, because we all know how...
12:09 pm
is an active and dynamic leader, far from being passive or sluggish and engaging with proposals or in advancing hamas's position against the israeli occupation حماس خطوه balances two fundamental aspects of a strong stance against the occupation while simultaneously employing rationality and wisdom in managing the conflict وادار. whether this confrontation is seen as a prolonged escalation or a preliminary step toward comprehensive liberation, sinward approaches it with a high degree of capability in confronting the occupation and in fostering genuine alliances that support palestine and gaza. so
12:10 pm
you're telling us that. mr. sunward will have an impact on the future diplomatic negotiations and the military strategies as well, but how will he be able to balance those two, knowing that he might be assassinated any point? it is essential to clarify that the leader of hamas is not isolated from the broader leadership of the movement. while stands at the head of hamas's political. occupied territories such as those managing affairs in the prisons, the west bank and al-quds, as well as in external regions. although sward leads on the ground
12:11 pm
and plays a significant role in overseeing both political and military activities, alongside the military leadership of them brigades and other resistance factions in gaza, there are key figures elected head of the political bureau, exemplifies this alignment. when it comes to negotiations with the israeli occupation, i believe that israel has come to realize that the palestinian negotiator it dealt with in the early 1990s is not the same as the one it faces in 2024. zionist israel has had experience in i believe he will succeed in handling the
12:12 pm
current struggle, both politically and militarily. we are witnessing the resilience the palestinian resistance, despite the fact that 10 months have passed since the onset of the israeli entity aggression on god. this endurance can be attributed, first and foremost to the wise leadership of the resistance in gaza, as well as to the support provided by allied military fronts such as hazballah and lebanon. the yemeni armed forces and the islamic resistance in iraq. additionally, there is significant political and diplomatic backing from the islamic republic of iran and the syrian arab republic. well, i want to thank you very much mr. political analyst for joining us today to talk about how the appointment of mr. yahya sinward will change or... impact uh the military and the negotiation strategies in
12:13 pm
gaza. thank you very much for your time. ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we are going to talk about the us's grand scheme in protecting zinist israel. the united states of america is intensifying its efforts to rescue zyanus israel from a dire situation facing potential violent attacks probably from hisbullah, from iran, from yemen, and from other forces in the region. washington is now promoting a prisoner swap and a temporary ceasefire. as some sort of a step towards ending the israeli entity genocide in gaza. this move
12:14 pm
aims to undermine the resistances justification for any retaliation, deviously suggesting that any such response could derail the peace process and deny gaza the chance for a cease fire and a relief from civilian suffering. more details in the following report. the united states of america is ramping up its efforts to assist zinist israel which faces the threat of. intense attacks from iran, lebanon, yemen, and other resistance states and factions. so far, washington strategy involves three key approaches: number one, facilitating a prisoner exchange and temporary cease fire to help end the israeli entities genocide on gaza. this move aims to undermine the justification for retaliation from regional resistance groups and from the islamic republic of iran, suggesting that any such response could disrupt the peace process and prevent gaza from secure. sease fire and alleviating civilian suffering. number two: intensifying diplomatic efforts with iran and
12:15 pm
regional resistance groups through intermediaries, using a mix of threats and limited incentives to persuade these forces to avoid substantial retaliation or limit their responses to minor actions. number three: building a military coalition with zionist israel, western allies and regional arab normalizing partners to prepare for potential attacks. this includes strategies for. detection and interception with a theoretical readiness for preemptive strikes against resistance targets or iran, while currently excluding direct action against iran in the near term. admit the potential for the conflict escalate into a regional confrontation, the united states, egypt and qatar are exploring a possible solution through a swift deal to achieve seasfire. recent developments indicate that the us has been informed by qatar that it can no longer exert pressure on hamas following the assassination of h masist political leader ismail hanye in tehran. similarly, egypt has reiterated its position in light of yahya
12:16 pm
sanwar's election as hamas leader and has informed scientists israel that it will not abandon the rafah border crossing. the new initiative by the us, egypt and qatar is grounded in the shared conviction that ending the gaza genocide is crucial for reducing regional tensions and avoiding further escalation. it also seeks to appease the resistance access by offering a chance to halt the war, presenting this as preferable option compared to retaliating for the assassinations of leaders ismail hanye and fuad shukr. the us is warning that it will impose additional economic sanctions on iran if the islamic republic follows through its threat to retaliate for the assassination of ismail hanye. this stance sents dual messages, one to iranian president masud bazeshkayan about the economic and governmental stability costs of any attack on zanast israel, and another two israeli entity prime minister benjamin netanyahu signaling that washington is not currently considering involvement in a regional war, even if iran launches a significant revengeful assault.
12:17 pm
instead, the us will focus on defensive measures such as detection and interception, along with political and international support, and additional economic sanctions on tehran. now to discuss this issue with us from beirot is dr. daniel yagich, geopolitical commentator, a pleasure having you with us, dr. yagich, now how do you think the us strategies including the proposed prisoner swap and the uh temporary cease fire aims to influence the dynamics of the conflict between zionist israel on one part and uh gaza on the other and what impact might these measures have on the regional resistance? as well which has promised uh a retaliation against zianis israel for assassinating ismail hanye and uh commander forad shukr. so if we look at um the developments over the past more than 10 months, it is very clear that the only strategy that the united states has been following very aggressively is to shield the israeli regime from accountability and to make sure that it can continue to carry out
12:18 pm
this uh genocide without any interruption. so when we look at the ceasefire. talks, there is lot of talk about these talks, but actually it hasn't led to any end, while of course the israeli regime continues to carry out those massacres and to kill palestinians um as we speak, so the entire premise of these talks is very much based on imbalanced uh structure. now what could this mean for the resistance? of course the resistance has made it very clear that there cannot be any deescalation or sessation of hostilities as long as this uh side uh continues, so from that perspective, this um sort of diplomatic um discursive level that we've seen um has helped the israeli regime actually to to gain time and to continue uh to carry out this genocide, at the same time the israeli regime has killed the other side uh involved in those negotiations, so making very clear that there is not only not an interest from the
12:19 pm
israeli side to stop this genocide uh but also no reason to do so because it has able uh to commit all of these crimes for over 10 months with the full backing of the united states, which shouldn't be seen as a um uh, which actually should be seen as part of this genocide because it has been enabling it. well, dr. yagich, it's very interesting for me to see how the negotiation table will look like at the moment, because we all heard how qatar was saying that i cannot pressure hamas anymore because you killed their leader, egypt saying, "i'm not going to give up that of border," and now... you have new leader of hamas, how do you think the shape of this deal would be or the negotiating table at least, because swar already said that, look, we have set of uh points, you either agree to them or we're just leaving the negotiations, how do you think that will turn out eventually? well, it might continue to be of course very difficult given these very imbalanced structures that these uh
12:20 pm
negotiations are based on, and of course the assassination of haniya has made it clear once again that... "israelies are not interested in uh finding solution for path towards the cease fire, so it will continue uh to to be difficult, and at the same time, of course, the entire conversation about the ceasefire in itself should be alarming, because now over 10 months into this genocide, there hasn't been any stronger response from the so-called international community, no intervention on behalf of palestinians, no sanctions against israel" regime know how to arms sales, so in the end the ceasefire negotiations in themselves or prospective ceastfire is also not necessarily an end to this genocide, so from this perspective, regardless of the current dynamics of these talks, it will continue to be very difficult, and of course we need to
12:21 pm
keep in mind that hamas at previously agreed to a cease fire which had been rejected by the israeli regime. 11 times in specific, they agreed 11 times and israel just reneg, exactly, because the israeli regime um knows very well, it can continue, there's no red line and it can continue to kill and massacre palestinians while pretending to be interested in a seasfire, so the entire conversation within the so-called international community shifting toward the cease fire is in itself very alarming and just uh allows the israeli regime to continue, well uh there are the... applications odaciously if i may that the us wants to impose new sanctions, economic sanctions against iran if it retaliates. this is beyond hypocritical, i be very honest, and they're doing all of these threats while zinus israel was committing new massacre at the taben school in the central uh in center of gaza, taking away the lives of at least 150 civilians, but how do you think that
12:22 pm
stance from the united states of america might affect the us-iran uh relationship and which is obviously not good to begin with, as well as the maybe broader regional landscape. i mean, these threats of sanctions just once again show that the united states doesn't have any other option, and um, it just adds more sanctions to continuous sanctions that the united states has been issuing against iran as a form of economic warfare and corrersion over the decades, one might even wonder how many more sanctions can there uh be placed at the... point and this is very much part of the us very aggressive uh foreign policy uh in this region and of course at the center of the us foreign policy and one could even argue at the center of their political... identity is the israeli regime, the zionist entity and its continuous settler colonial conquests, so at the end of course iran, which is a leading voice and
12:23 pm
forest within the resistance, continues to post major threat alongside with its allies in the region against israeli regime, and so of course it is not surprising that it will continue to face these sanctions and accusations of terrorism and be labeled um as the enemy, so from this perspective. it is very much expected from the united states to to continue to exert this pressure, and at the same time, of course, the sanctions themselves are a part of the reason why the resistance throughout the uh region has become so significant and strong uh throughout the decades, and we also need to keep in mind that the us, not only it's involvement in western asia, but its global standing a global scale has increasingly... uh been uh damaged by the continuous support in particular by the biden regime uh of this genocide, so i think the power or anyth the say of the us uh is is going to continue to
12:24 pm
decline in western asia. well, in one minute, the big question, dr. yagich, do you think the region is going towards an all-out war or possibly end of the genocide in gaza? it's difficult to predict, but unfortunately the israeli regime has shown that it doesn't have. have any restraint that knows no red line, so from that perspective, it is clear the israeli regime is going to continue to kill, to provoke and escalate with the assassinations in the last week, being just the latest example of how willing the israeli regime is to risk a broader escalation, the resistance has shown lot of patience and restraint, but at the end of the day uh questions about the region are also answered in washington dc and beyond, um, so unfortunately it is is of course very possible that with the continuous us zianist aggression that the region might be torn even further into a broader colonial and once
12:25 pm
again imperialist warfare against the people the region. well, dr. daniel, j political commentator, thank you very much for your analysis uh for the upcoming wave of possible new violence in the region because of the continuous uh genocide on gaza by zin is israel aided, ebated and funded by the unit. uh states of america and its friends. ladies and gents, thank you very much for watching us right here uh on the medida stream. please do follow us on telegram and on x and we promise to always get you the latest right here from west asia on press tvs the medi stream.
