hello and welcome to press tv's spotlight, i of thanks so much for being with us. more than 4000 palestinians have been killed in the zionist genocide against the people of gaza, as more civilians are being killed every day, us secretary of state anthony blincon is in israel once again, allegedly to help reach a ceasefire agreement. all the us says a ceasefire is closer. than ever before,

however, hamas spokesman osama hamdan has said that the us just wants to give the zionist regime more time to continue with its massacres, well stay with us on this spotlight as we take a look at the latest situation on the genocide on gaza. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. mosanavi, activists and... commentator houston texas and eves ingler author and activist out of montreal. well, thank you so much for being with us. i'd like to start this off uh with uh mosanvi. um, another round of cease fire talks. well eve, sorry, uh, no, houston. okay, sorry about that, starting off with moson and houston. another round of ceasefire talks are set for sunday in cairo. with egyptian, qatari, americans

and american and israeli officials attending. us president joe biden says he is sending blincon to the region to reach a ceasefire deal. your thoughts overall. well, from the very beginning, we've noticed that the us has has a clear bias towards its allegences to the zionist regime. we have seen that the us has been a direct accomplice in this genocide. so it is only reasonable for anyone to think that the us first of all shouldn't be mediator because of their bias towards israel and that the us doesn't want sease fire in general, there there are too many, there's too much at stake for the us empire for this for this cease fire to take place, meaning the cease fire will determine or will will determine the loss of the zionist regime and it's very... important for the audience

to understand that the loss of the zionist regime in west asia is a loss of the us as well, so a win for the zinanis is a win for of the us, and so as we all know that at this given moment, the longer this this genocide, this war is prolonged on part of the zionist regime, the more it benefits them, as soon as this war stops, we will see a clear shift in status. which is already there, but we will see it being more that the axis of resistance will be able to assertain its might and his power more than it already has in this conflict, so we we see that for the us to to enable a cease fire would be its own loss in many different ways, it wants to see it either wants to rule over west asia or it wants to see west asia crumble in a... of

war. okay, well evs, the us is saying that there has been progress uh made since the last cease fire talks and now there is a bridging ceasefire proposal on the table and that no party should escalate the situation. it appears that they are talking about the upcoming retaliatory attack from iran and the whole resistance front. i mean, your thoughts about this? well, of course, israel. inating the lead cease fire negotiator negotiator in tehran is not escalating things according to the us and israel assassinating top hezbolah military official in beirot and killing many other civilians is not escalating so it's in only escalating when there may be a response to israel's a abundant war crimes according to washington and according to my government uh year in canada, so that of course it

speaks to the deep bias in favor of of israel and favor of all the monstrosities israels committed in gaza. particularly, but also in syria, in lebanon, iran, elsewhere. uh, now with regards to blincan's trip, i believe this is the 10th time that blinkin has met with netanyahu uh, over the past or so months, so about once a month he's meeting with netanyahu, and we've been through this whole sharade uh, not once, not twice, i don't know, three, four, five, i don't how many times now, where the americans say we're right on the cuss. of a of a ceasfire deal and uh and we're right about there and in the seasfire and now this to me seems as just a way of of kind of smoking mirrors to uh allow israel to continue its killing and we see today israel's killed a whole bunch more in

gaza new ground incursion in central gaza uh so so they you know they they i mean i think a diplomatic - seasfire would be good to i don't think that us necessarily wants, i think that the biden administration does uh sort of want a cease fire, i think they have a political calculation that are very not necessarily us empire calculation, but democratic party calculation in the sense that this is really dividing the democratic party and that's a problem uh for biden or harris uh in the upcoming elections uh but but that doesn't you know it's that calculation that political calculation is not stopping the deeply, deeply zionist uh biden, blincon, the whole administration and the whole arms industry that loves continuing to provide the weapons and loves more bombs being dropped and more palestinian babies being killed because that's you know very

profitable for them, so that that all continues, and i agree partially with my my uh colleague here in that the the if if if um if netanyahu fails on his two... main objectives, which is one stated objectives destroying hamas, i don't think he ever believed it was really possible, but he stated that repeatedly, he fails on that, and he also fails on the other, which i think it was a big, the maximalist objective, which was to to uh kill everyone or displace, ethnically cleans everyone in gaza, as smaldich said, a week ago starve two million people, but the world won't let us, so they're going to fail, looks like they're going to fail on both of those maximalist objectives in terms of ethnic cleansing, killing and the destruction of hamas, so that will be a blow for for israel, there's no doubt about that, and by extension it will be somewhat of a blow for the us empire. well, getting back to the previous question, moson, i mean, how much spokesman osama hamdan has

said that the u.s. is simply giving the zionist regime more time to continue with its massacres. i mean, your assessment of that, does the united states want to see less people killed or ultimately a ceasefire? you you alluded to earlier that basically the two them have the same goal? mean, your take on uh hamdan's comment? well, absolutely, these are delay tactics that the us is uh is are is using, they um, the access wants a comprehensive cease fire, and the us being mediators are deliberately avoiding a... comprehensive cease fire by not talking about or not naming the prisoners who will be released and hammas from day one has been really has been absolutely clear and transparent about the release of their of their prisoners. also another important point is that three times the us has has used its

vero power to prevent the security council resolutions aimed at bringing se fire to gaza, the fourth time they abstained because of which a resolution was was able to be passed, but let's not forget the 12.5 billion dollars that the us has already given to the zionist regime since alad took place, let's not forget the one billion dollar bonds that have been sold since october 7th to that have been bought by the us in israel and the 3.8 million dollar per year memorandum of understanding contract that till 2028 the us will send 3.8 billion dollars in weapons to the us, so these are not, these these facts prove that the us is not looking for a cease fire, they want conflict in that region, it benefits them economically, benefits them

diplomatically, benefits them militarily in so many different ways and right now the situation is as such that in the west on ground people have raised their voices because and has exerted pressure on the government, but when we see and we observe the policies that, i mean look at look at, look at how nathan yahoo came and addressed the us congress, it was an app. absolute, it was one of the most despicable acts that we've seen in the congress ever happening um and we see that us congress, us leaders in general, they keep the interest of the designist, the interest of israel, the interest of of of apac over us citizens and this in itself is is treason in many ways, and we've seen that the us will support israel in whatever fiasco they they plan on pursuing, meaning backing the the marterium

the assassination of fawaz shukr, backing the assassination of shaheid ismail hania, this is not a mediator that is looking for sease fire, this is an israeli ally that is looking to support israel in whatever way possible. okay, well um, hamas has said that all iof forces must be withdrawn from the gaza. grip uh whereas the regime wants his forces to remain in the border area between gaza and egypt called the philadelphia quarter. what would it mean in your perspective for zionist forces to remain in that quarter? what would it mean for the palestinians in gaza? well, it of course strengthens their control over what comes in and out of of gaza. it's also of serious violation of, i mean the their presence there. uh is serious violation of an agreement with egypt uh which goes back dates back decades uh uh it's just you know further

confirmation of israel's kind of refusal to be taken you now the just lie endlessly they break their own accords etc um but mainly it's about further controlling uh gaza and of course uh it will also be you know used to kill more people i mean we know what this is... didn't you, it's not the last 10 months, i mean last 10 months are particularly horrible uh killing killing spree uh, but this is not new, there's example after example of israel killing people in gaza, so keeping troops there will will just exacerbate that and they'll be they'll be used uh uh for further uh uh killings, but the bigger the bigger picture i think is is that there's no there's no pretense uh there's no res. respect uh for the agreements that they that israel's

committed to going back decades with oslo a palestinian state and this is just further so let me just jump in here then with what you're saying eves uh that they were never committed to uh any type of agreement that they've made so let's talk about then the potential of seats fire agreement i mean what guarantees then with the palestinians have that... "the israelis would abide by it, that they would not come back in in a month, six months or year that we have seen time and time again in gaza, yeah, or two days, i wouldn't put it past nahu, two days after agreeing to something to go back in and kill a bunch of people, i mean the the lying, the the deception, the the you know, of course this is not, you can't trust israel, i mean, no one, and no one in hamas or any, i mean, i not even anyone in the..." a probably believes you can trust israel uh, so yeah, of course, that's what that's what will happen,

and this is all part, that's you know, continuing to violate an agreement with egypt, and and have a military presence in gaza, would be just further entrenching of israeli power over palestinians, that there's no reason why palestinians should accept it, they accept it only to the extent that they they, it's it's a... power question and israel has the power, but but of course uh, this is this is not something that hamas should agree to or any palestinian should agree to, but nenyahu wants to, he doesn't want an actual ceire, he wants to continue this, so he wants to have as many proposals that make it very difficult for hamas to come to any agreement, yeah, and speaking of which he continues that mosten to um add more uh stipulations to any type of proposal. continues uh to change it and i want to look at, i mean as these talks about a cease fire

taking place, i mean the regime is continuing to commit murder, 15 members of the same family, nine of them kids were just killed in gaza, this displaced family have been living a warehouse which the israeli regime targeted and bombed, and as we speak, people are still starving to death and being killed and having to walk and walk and look for safe place to rest, which of course... doesn't exist, so let's start from here, if they're really serious about a ceasefire, why aren't they putting more pressure on israeli regime to at least allowed food and basic supplies to come in? it's because they're not serious, it is, it is obvious the us and the israel and israel have the same interests in that region. we have to understand that the the us project of ruling over west asia has failed, it has failed, it failed when they were defeated in iraq, when they were defeated in israel through their proxies, they have been

defeated. israel is the is the last straw that the us has in that region and it is also, failing, israel has failed to achieve any of its goals ever since they imposed this genocide on the palestinians, the access of resistance has become stronger than ever, we see the zionist regime consistently making mistakes consistently giving more and more reason for the access of resistance to attack the zionist regime within their full capacities while remaining within the realms of international law. these are all signs of desperation. the us is also desperate and so is and so is israel, we've seen how the oil fields were captured in in in northern syria by arab tribes. we see how the iraqi parliament has voted for the for the us empire to move out of iraq permanently, we've seen how they've been kicked out of afghanistan, so their policies in this region

has failed, their their expedition of empowering the zionist regime has also miserably failed and while we see the axis of resistance gaining power, gaining momentum, we see a country like yemen in in in direct conflict with the us empire and its navy and defeating them, so why would the access of resistance, why would hammas accept a deal that's a deal of loser, they are in a position of strength, it is the zinest regime that are weak, unfortunately the zinus and the and the us empire need to get haven't gotten over their arrogance, that's what the problem is. these are delay tactics that they are using, because the only survival that they see of the zinus in the region right now is to prolong these talks, is to prolong the cease fire to see if there is some kind of solution, but what they fail to understand is that the dynamics of that region has changed and there is no chance, no choice, but for

them to give in to the demands of the... axis of resistance, we saw how hizbullah negotiated with them, how hisbullah has successfully negotiated several prisoner deals with them, we've seen how yahya sinvar was released because of the ability of the hamas, so these are capable and able individuals who have been dealing with negotiations with the zionist regime for decades now, for decades, they understand exactly what the intentions of the zinis and the us are, we need to. make sure that we don't separate the two, they are one, a win for israel is a win for the us. okay, well eves, what about that, what about what our other guest has said, that basically it's an act of desperation, it's the last basically imperialist outpost in the region, and if that is the case, then you do you agree or not that the us will do whatever it takes to

make sure that this regime is not destroyed, that it doesn't fall, um, "i want first of all, i want to know if you agree with that, and if so, is that why we have been seeing uh, certain policies that the united states also implementing, that is definitely not uh in favor of the american regime itself, it puts them also at risk. i mean, your take eves, yeah, i don't, i think israel is still powerful, it still has nuclear weapons, it's still powerful, i, i wouldn't, i, i, i think that the the access of resistance is still." on the defensive from both israeli power and us power in the region and and i think that the iranian government and rightly are very concerned about escalation and a regional war because they know that yahoo wants to start a

regional war and more specifically wants to drag the us into a regional war. i do... also think that israel is much uh more uh tenuous position right now than you go back 11 months that's for sure uh uh i think they have been they you know the hamases clearly there's be strategic failure taking place in gaza they have also simultaneously lost their global standing has been hit very very hard um do you now with regards to the us i think the us clearly sees israel as a strategic asset and it has served that purpose for the us empire. now i also think that it what we're seeing when we when you see a situation where where you have the congress. uh giving these standing ovations to netanyahu and i i think that that's not that's that's not about us empire that's bad for the us empire in fact that's about the power of the israel lobby in

the us most people in the world when they see that they are they are appalved even people quite honestly even people in you know europe and and canada uh think that's too much let alone people in africa obviously arab world and asia muslim countries and latin america they they all see that is just appalling that this genocidal maniac would be celebrated like that us power and i think that's only explained by by the power of the of the israel lobby in fact so again it undercuts us imperial interests now um will the us support israel to the end? i think it will i think ultimately the us will will will prioritize us interests over israel where you know at the at the final final sort of as as it collapses in it of itself, but but i do think that um that yeah, israel has has served both strategic value and i think that it's also

becoming a liability for the us. um now where does this all go? i don't think there's i don't think it's sensible for washington to get dragged into a war with iran. i don't think that's smart and i think that nenyao clearly wants to do that and nenyahu let's also be clear that nanyahu is not just acting on behalf of the interests of of. of of zionism or the the supremacist expansionist ideology zionism, he's also acting on his very narrow personal interests of just continuing in government and avoiding going to jail, okay stay with me eves buse, i only have one minute, mos and i want to get you back in here, in your perspective, is there anything but the resistance which can rid the palestinians of this occupying entity, because even if there's some kind of ceasefire, the occupiers would still be controlling their lives, well naturally the... fire, we've seen negotiations in the past and we've seen that the zinast regime keeps on breaking their negotiations, we've seen the role that the zinanis have played in the west bank, we have seen that if there is

sease fire and the ziners were to stay within ghaza, we know that they will violate international law, we cannot trust them, the only solution to the and the only end to this genocide is the empowerment of the access of resistance, it's for the zinest regime to be weakened and for the... axis of resistance to keep resisting, because we have seen that this is the only language that the zionist regime understands, they don't understand the language of peace. another, another thing is that i would like to add is that as far as the the the power of the axis of resistance is concerned, i think it's really important to understand that iran chooses to avoid a regional regional war, not because the resistance is incapable of engaging in one, but because they want to... avoid devastation that will take place, which designs in the us empire don't care for. this war can be one without there being a regional conflict, and that's what the axis of resistance is so

sorry have to interrupt you, but we're out of time. appreciate you most, the activist and commentator out of houston texas being with us, also eves ingler, author and activist out of montreal, and thank you viewers for staying with us on another spotlight, i'm marria hashimi, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye. near the sorflet national park, peace palace. the most important case of the court was dealing with humanitarian disaster between the eastern part of the jordan river and its mediterranean. coast, israel has been at war in the gaza strip since october 2023, killing civilians, the elderly, women and children.

they all presented the world with dramatic moments that had not been shown in any historical genre movie. it was a massive genocide that israel engaged in. if the legal campaign continues, it can spell the end of israel. this is an opening of justice that can turn the world upside down.

this is story of people who had uphill battle with a now executed iraqi dictator saddam hussein and his now defunct baptist regime who sought to stifle. the pilgrimage to the shrine of imam hussain. this is story of unsung heroes who put their lives on the line out of their love for the prophet of islam and his family.
