on whatever is happening in the scene, especially regarding hizballah and the lebanese resistance, and we will not be seeing any condemnation, because the same narrative keeps repeating, where either the white house or the pentagon or or the biden administration, they keep saying that we condemn the killing of civilians, but on the other hand, they're still green lighting, the aggression and the genocide going on and the ethnic cleansing, and so we won't be seeing any condemnation anytime soon as long as the us says israel, and i quote, israel has a right to defend itself, as long as they keep saying we are investigating, we are very concerned, we are very worried as long as there is nothing tangible, and that's impossible to see in the us. i mean, the us and israel are inseparable allies, regardless of what happens right now, for example, they can just ask. they said today we are against

the ground incursion, but if israel were to actually and tangibly say, okay, we are ready for a ground incursion in southern lebanon or the whole of lebanon, the us will definitely green light that, and we can put that into context when we see that the pentagon declared that they are sending multiple and additional troops to probably the 20,00 plus us troops available in the western asia uh region right now, well uh here's the thing, when when you take a look at what uh the israel regime is doing, we're still looking, even though it has targeted beirot um, i think five occasions in the past week or so, if i'm not if i'm not mistaken, but we're still looking at it targeting southern lebanon, at some point that uh targeting of southern lebanon sooner than later, i hope is uh not going to make any any sense anymore, i mean i don't how many targets they have hit, but they are sure have uh hit uh quite a bit of targets here, i guess this is tough

question to answer, but but i'm trying to figure out what the next moves are uh by the by the israeli regime, i mean what what what game plan they have? well, i'm not, i'm not really a military expert, but definitely from the scene what i can, what i can say is israel is trying to use every bit that they have, they're trying to use every chance that they have in order, be it a ground incursion, being be it just, i don't want to use the term blindly, but are just striking left and right civilian infrastructure under the guise of hisballah weapons being uh hidden in these civilian homes uh terrorizing civilians by saying you need to evacuate your homes because there is hisballah weapons in your home so they're trying to use every single bit that they have and that is all one part and then you have the media being the other part they're trying to stir up controversy they're they're trying to to... use every

headline, every breaking news, every world stage, and and we can see that even with with netanyahu's attempt by saying, you know, this this war is not against the lebanese people, this war is against hisbullah, hizbillah is using you, hazballah is using you as human shields, is using your homes, and so really predicting the next step with the israeli occupation and the israeli occupation forces is, remains unknown, but with the us green lighting, every single aggression that they ask for, we can expect the worst, but then again, i'm not a military expert, so i understand, i understand, you, i'm just trying, i'm just trying to figure out here what's what's going to happen is basically what i'm trying to get out over here, because uh, we we have stomached a year of this genocide in the gaza strip, and here we are looking at lebanon, um, and as to what's going to happen here, which uh, you have so many different uh approaches that are being used and... of it being a copycat of what's

going to happen in the gaza strip. at the same breath, maybe i can ask you just to get an idea about uh whatuh you think the israel regime is doing when it comes to the occupied west bank for example because we know it's still targeting going after certain areas mostly focused on the refugee camps. israel has the scene of gazah where it's committing the ethnic cleansing and genocide and then it has the occupied west bank which it is trying. to carry out the same thing we can say, it's we can see that by by the the footage that we see by the scenes that we see, the horrors that we see, they're they're they're targeting children, they're killing children on their way to school, they are uh, they are raiding homes, they are taking homes, they are killing the elderly, the women, the children, the disabled, these are all israel is trampling international law in the oc hide west bank and even here i can i

can put the the unsc draft resolution from last week that we have yet to see any concrete action for. uh, the unsc draft resolution gave the israeli occupation 12 months, it said you have 12 months in order to uh stop your illegal settlements, be it in the occupied west bank, which which they are still doing, that we can see lot of new settlements being built um and your aggression and genocide in ghazza, i don't know how concrete that's going to be, i don't know what action uh the un is going to take guarding that, i do know that there is emergency session going on. today requested by france on what is going on in lebanon and in ghazza, so we have yet to see maybe what would happen during that uh meeting, emergency meeting, but the occupied west bank is just one of many examples of how there is

no longer any regard for international law, for human life, for basic dignity. okay, i know, i know we're beating uh some of the issues out again and again, but uh, forgive me for that, but "you know, um, we're having the retaliation that's happening by hisbollah uh, we're having it done in a way that uh, it's not going to um uh bring out the worst from the israeli regime, because i'm sure with the us supplied weapons that they're getting or they have in their arsenal, they could probably do lot more damage uh, how do you assess the type of damage that it has incurred on lebanon? we've seen some videos online uh, of which we have even broadcast few of them were the types of bombs that have been dropped uh seems to have been so..." potent and so strong uh some even uh compared it to maybe a mini uh atomic bomb was thrown because of the way the level of waves went in the air, i'm i'm guessing that you have seen those videos, what do you think of them? yes, yes, uh, even even lot of those bombs, for example yesterday's a bomb that was dropped

in the region of elgie uh that is uh that is literally on the connecting point between southern lebanon and the capital of beirut. "a lot of the residents actually heard it way in the capital and it's kilometers, kilometers away, the bombs that are being used, the bombs that the us is uh providing for the israeli occupation uh are enormously, enormously and blatantly violation of international law, we're not just talking about the air strikes, we're talking about the different types of bombs being used, whether it was since last week's pager attacks, those were indiscriminate attacks. which are violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and we can see the different types of strikes occurring between the israeli occupation and the lebanese resistance. the israeli occupation is targeting civilian infrastructure, while hizballah, the lebanese resistance is

targeting military infrastructure, that is what precise strikes are, and as i said, hisbullah, are the lebanese resistance is saying? "this is only the beginning and even israeli officials and ex- israeli officials are saying that we have not yet touched the surface of what hizballah can do, but again with the us green lighting, all of their aggression uh we can expect the worst uh ground incursion may be a possibility, but we you know we we still don't know much about that yet, and uh rachel, what about the fact that we're looking at this uh un, i know you mentioned that only a day has..." gone by um, what type of itenuary do these leaders have, and are we looking at focus groups that may focus on just coming up with solution? i'm guessing the immediate one would be about a cease fire agreement. yes, the cease fire agreement in for ghazza and the cease of the

aggression on or against the people in lebanon, both in the capital bayrut and southern lebanon. that is what the un is or the un general assembly. right now is focusing on, but that is in addition to palestine's full membership to the un, which uh the us and israel obviously so far continue to veto and continue to uh reject um and that is of course as israel continues to violate uh you know international law and its genocidal campaign uh we expect to see more condemnations uh to go on in today's speeches, tomorrow's fridays uh it will go on of course saturday and monday as well. um something maybe concrete that we may see is a possibility uh, we still don't know much about that yet, i am following of course the uh un speeches and what is going on in the unga, but definitely definitely um the ceasefire in gaza is the main focal point

right now, but with the emergency session that is supposed to happen today as called on by uh uh by france uh we can expect to see even maybe something more concrete regarding the cease fire that will of course comprise both of vasa and lebanon. okay, thank you very much, our correspondent, rachel hamdun from new york, our correspondent naqa hamed is also joining us from ramallah. if you could... please tell us uh what the reactions have been in the west bank to this very important development uh

hazbullah uh directly attacking tel aviv yes well the situation over here in the west bank we are everyone over here every analysis every person we have talked to everyone is keeping a close eye on what's happening in the north. and especially what has what has happened today when hizbullah used new missile to to fire on tel aviv which which has a great symbolic meaning over here as tel aviv is is considered to be the capital of of the regime whenever whenever we say has been hit over here everyone feels that there is something that has been done something that has been done to this regime and to the occupation that is currently not knowing any

limits between gaza, west bank nor north the lebanon and attacking everyone everyone, attacking everybody over here, many analysis over here have have mentioned that this new weapon could be a game changing weapon in in the matter of the pressure on on the regime and on israel to to keep to keep that to keep the tension and to keep the military the military strikes and to keep maybe message to about the about the the troops and soldiers and the land that that the israelies have been talking about in the last in the last two days maybe it was as many analysis refer that it it is message to show that they are

is gradually increasing the the weapons and the armors and the pressure on the on the regime to deliver message that they are not interested in war but they have something to say in case of the israeli regime continues these horrific atrocities against the lebanese people and as hizbullah many times said against the palestinians in gaza as the the northern front is considered to be a supportive front for the resistance groups in gaza. let's just say little a little thing about the formal the formal positions over here and formal declarations as the ministry of foreign affairs, the palestinian ministry of foreign affairs have be have announced on behalf of the palestine. and president mahmoud abbas, the convenissance for the lebanese people and the readiness and the

order that the palestinian, the palestinian hospitals inside lebanon and inside the refugee camp, the palestinian refugee camps in lebanon to to accept and to admit lebanese and injuries that happened due this due to this to these continuous attacks. actually not one attack but continuous continuous attacks. also the prime minister, the palestinian prime minister have sent messages of condolences and support support for the lebanese people. the secretary general of the palestinian, the palestinian initiative, dr. mustafa bargoti have and have said also in a statement that this what is happening today in lebanon is actually message. that we are dealing with a cruel mentality of zionism and

occupation, this mentality is driven by blood and and war and driven by aggressiveness to all of to all of the surrounding surrounding countries, not only such, we have seen such in gaza, west bank, and now we are seeing such such atrocities in lebanon. they the islamic resistance movement hamas and the islamic jihad has also announced that they welcome this step of using this weapon and and for the resistance, for the the involvement of the resistance in supporting the palestinian people and defending the lebanese soil, considering that we that over here we are not talking about palestinian people and lebanese people, we are talking about one people who knows the pains and who went through pain and went through atrocities

made by this made by the occupation as the as the statement said. okay, so uh, let's bring back our correspondent rachel hamdun from new york. rachel, if you could please tell us in the un general assembly, what is exactly the mood, how much support do you believe that the lebanese people and the people of gaza for that matter also have uh, as far as these world leaders that have gathered for the un general assembly are concerned. yes, as i mentioned previously, many of the speeches yesterday uh have majorly condemned what is going on both during the genocide in gazza, thenic cleansing going on right now, and the ongoing air strikes and aggression on southern lebanon and the capital beirot, we expect to see lot more condemnations as well,

especially as the the lebanese m is expected to speak tomorrow and in light of uh what's going on right now, there's emergency session today called on by france, so we expect to see maybe a at the un security council we can expect to see perhaps a possibility of something that has to do with a resolution in order to in order to not only stop the aggression that is going on in lebanon against the people of lebanon and against the lebanese sovereignty, but perhaps a resolution that also comprises of ceasefire deal for for ghaza, and we can also say that we also expect maybe fake narrative or a played narrative by natanyahu, the israeli

occupations prime minister, if he still makes it to new york, we are still waiting updates regarding his. as he has already delayed twice. um, so does that mean that you believe there might be some hope uh that the un general assembly actually pass a resolution or take some serious action in order to stop uh the israeli aggression in lebanon? well, we've always had hope, but as we've seen in the past, the the us has consistently veedled resolutions. by using the term, and i quote israel has the right to defend itself, so would there be hope? yes, we we all hope that there should be a stop to what's going on, because this is again a blatant violation of human rights, a blatant violation of international law, and if again nothing at the unga actually concretely passes in order

to stop or enforce the resolution to stop ' what is going on in lebanon and in gaza, then that is just yet another example of how international law and the international community has failed us once again, and in that case, do you believe that these world leaders might come together to find a different solution, because israel has over the past decades proven that it has no respect for international law, will there be another way to uh try and stop israel as it seems to be on stoppable with the us and its as its main ally having veto power. it is unfortunate for me to say that the possibility of something more and bigger happening is lessening. especially as as we've seen maybe outside of the un, we've seen it with the international criminal

court, the south africa versus israel case, no action has yet been taken, it is still ongoing, but we can see that the many branches of international law, of international justice continually fail, both the people of ghazza and the people of lebanon, i mean we're we're almost nearing a year of of the ethnic cleansing going on in ghazza, and now with what's happening in lebanon, there is fear that this will extend of course beyond, that is if the international community does not act, so it is safe to say that, unfortunately the possibility of something bigger happening is lessening, but we hope with the unga speaches that something major happens. uh, did antonio guteris himself make? any comments or do you believe that he might take any serious action? uh, yesterday, yes, during his uh, he was the opening speech at the first day of the unga, and he did say that the world

cannot afford and neither can lebanon afford to have lebanon be the scene of another ghazza, he called for a cease fire in ghazza, he called for a cooperation in order to stop the loss of human dignity, the loss of human life, uh, and of course at the end of the un, ga uh, which is due to end on on monday, we can uh expect another speech, perhaps if uh, any draft resolutions do take place, of course. okay, and you will of course be there to give us more updates on that. let's bring back our correspondent rachel um hamdun, that was our correspondent in new york, let's bring in our correspondent from ramalah, nakaka hammed uh, for more details. so uh naka, you did say that it was uh very heartworming for the people of gaza to know that the lebanese are consistently um backing

them and supporting them uh these attacks that started uh from lebanon uh in retaliation for the ongoing genocidal war in gaza, so uh if you could please uh tell us if there has been any kind of uh reaction from any of the political groups, the palestinian political groups regarding this particular attack on tel aviv? yes, well the islamic movement hamas has issued a statement and saying that the support, the this support from the lebanese people and from hizballah is actually very precious for for the palestinian people in such crucial time and such a hard time where the main feeling... over here, if we are talking about the west bank or gaza, the main feeling over here for the people of palestine is the feeling of being left out or the feeling that the the

world is not taking this these atrocities and this pain on a a level that that pushes the world to make the regime and to make israel stop its aggression against the palestine people have been going intensive. since since 12 months, hamas have said that is using such such weapons and being involved in this in this particular particular between the regime and hizbullah is is considered to be very big form of of support to the palestinian people. also also the islamic jihad, islamic, the islamic jihad position was not very far from this, as they have considered hizbullah

supporting the resistance groups continuously, not just for this, but using such a weapon, as we have said earlier using such a weapon could be a game changer, this weapon that the iron dome could not track or could not take down, but they had to use the larger scale. the larger scale protection systems which is this is an indication that this war or this these attacks have have reached a new level especially hitting especially hitting tel aviv also over here in ramollah near ramollah in university many students groups have made a march inside the campus of beerzate university. demonstrating and showing support to the lebanese people during these israeli continuous attacks and to support the lebanese resistance in their

support to the palestinian people and to the to the resistance groups over over here the students marched inside the university campus saying and saying out loud very supportive slogans and and calling. for more support uh not only from the lebanese, the lebanese resistants of hisbullah, but also from all of the arabic and islamic surrounding countries to stop this genocide that have been going for now from almost almost a year going on without any without any true true move towards making the the occupation or the regime stopping these. and these these actions that have that have violated all of the international laws and that have crossed all of the red lines that - we have the

international community have been talking talking about for years now over here we are we can see the land confisication killing palestinians detaining palestinians all the forms of all forms of atrocities and hardships for palestinians so this uh this attack or this bombing today came as a came as very support signal for the palestinian people we could see during our interview over here with the people in the streets, we could see that there is there is a relief that that the libanese resistance is engaged in in in fighting and in combat with with the israeli regime, because there is a over here as we have noticed there's a conviction that israel

knows no lines or... no stopping unless it is faced with with force and we have been witnessing feelings and many forms of hardships and atrocities over here and no international law or international part was able to stop or to make israel stop these atrocities but some people over here say and some analysis say as we have seen and we have heard. that this kind of power may may force the regime, naka to stop these atrocities and to back down from all of these attacks and from all these atrocities, so naka have the people of palestine and anyway pinned any kind of hope on what happens in the... un

general assembly this year particularly with so many world leaders offering their support as they uh took the podium and uh address the un general assembly naka yes i'm sorry i did not. get the question: well, naka, the question is, our correspondent in new york, rachel hamdun, told us that there seems to be some hope about the un general assembly passing some kind of resolution, taking some kind of action to stop the israeli aggression, as this year we have seen many world leaders uh pointing to the israeli aggression as something that needs to be stopped in their un general assembly address, the...
