2:40 pm
foreign minister's one day visit there to your neck of the woods well after his meeting he gave very concise uh statement yesterday as meeting with the the speaker of the parliament and of course, based on what we have heard always from the officials of iran, their full support for the resistance for the people of lebanon as well as gazza, and many had asked that with the... for example is truth uh in lebanon, he said there would not be a truce in lebanon unless there is a full stop and end to the genocidal war because he learned from the resistance their step backs and their readiness to continue with this battle um as long as the war on the people of palestine continues. he was also asked about the retaliation of iran if the israelis do launch another strike and another aggression. maybe that would target iranian areas maybe or iranian territory, he said that the the
2:41 pm
third retaliation would be even harder than the first, he made it very clear that of course that the islam republic of iran continues to exert efforts on the diplomatic front, as we have heard from the first day of the war, genocidal war on ghaza actually the how the islamic republic of iran has always stressed that it seeks only. diplomatic and peaceful methods to end the war and stop the suffering of the people of palestine as well as the people of lebanon. of course, with that said, it was also very remarkable the fact that his his airplane landed in the bayerroot airport, and we know also from sources that his airplane was threatened by the israeli but he insisted on getting here by that airplane, so that in itself is very significant. we know that the israeli aggression. uh continue all over uh lebanon and the bakar region have unprecedented
2:42 pm
numbers uh the last numbers that came out from one of the national societies we have 282 marters in the area of the ba alone as well as 777 injured and the shelling is massive in various areas especially since it is also um very large territories especially in hm for example. where you have continuous shelling in that area, we also learned that one of the um the civilians that were killed in that air yesterday was a agricultural engineer who was woman who was always uh ready to give support, she was there to help the the displaced to everything that she can, and that of course led to her murderdom, this of course is one of many that are considered heroes here in lebanon, in addition to the paramedics work always with their lives um and on fire, mean in the line of fire because they wanted to work towards trying to rescue
2:43 pm
people as much as they can be, the shelling included the towns of yar, of course, as well asya, we also know that the area of arm has been targeted by the israelis and addition to the various towns in and all those even the wa region as well was als so targeted now the the operations for resistance continue and we see that today similar to what we saw in the first days right after the massive strike ons of beiroot targeted the ramo david military base with a with faji one faji one rockets and so that also was another sign from message that their rockets will continue to pound the israeli settlements and the oc city of ha specifically, they also targeted the area of salsa using fall up two rockets,
2:44 pm
targeted a markava tank in marras as it was attempting to come closer to the border, said they were able to see that it was on fire and they left scores of its crew of the israeli troops either killed or wonded also targeted reali occupation force in yaron as well as in launch. selv of rockets towards per and we also know that in the early hours of the morning for several hours there were sounds of plashes and hazballah said in their statement that the the resistance fighters were in close and engaged with in direct plashes and confrontations with the israeli military occupation forces that attempted to occupy or to infiltrate the border and so we can see that of course continues with that path of resistance um despite the continuous bombardment of which the israel had a good
2:45 pm
weekend resistance still standing thank you uh miriam like to also welcome mr uh nasar mashni to the conversation president that australia palestine advocacy network if mashney before i come to you i like to break read this breaking news for our guester that uh islamic resistance in iraq says it is targeted three vital. is really targets in northern occupied territories using drones, we know resistance in iraq has been very not just vocal but also operational and active in supporting. of over the last year of palestinians under siege and onslot by israel hitting occupied territories throughout the last 12 months in support of gazans and palestinians in the occupied west bank and today both in support of palestinians and lebanese soon as we find out more about this latest retaliatory attack out of islamic resistance in iraq we get that information out to our viewers mr. mashney welcome to the
2:46 pm
conversation uh sir, your thoughts on the ongoing onslot exactly that we saw in gaza. now escalating into lebanon for nearly two weeks and also the iranian foreign minister visiting the area saying that all of israel's actions show nothing more than that the regime is trying to obstruct any kind of avenue or path toward cease fire. well thank you very much for having me on and you're 100% right what we are seeing in lebanon is israel's standard playbook. the playbook has been perfected. on the occupied palestinian peoples all over historic palestine, but the final chapter was written in gaza since october, where the world has stood by and allowed israel to reak havoc in a fascist genocidal, blood thirsty manner par excellence, level of savagery no one on earth has ever seen before. this standard playbook
2:47 pm
now has criminalized, has dehumanized. the population that is now uh happening in lebanon from schools to hospitals to ambulances, just overnight we saw the messages go out to western media to say that the israelis have information that the lebanese ambulances are carrying fighters and weapons, we know what that means, they're going to start targeting healthcare workers, over 100 lebanese healthcare workers have already been killed, over 100 lebanese and ambulances and civil defense vehicles have already been destroyed, and we only have to look at what happened to the in the past one year to know what's going to happen to lebanon. we should also remember what israel does, in its standard playbook is that when it opens up a front like with lebanon, all eyes go to lebanon, and that's when they
2:48 pm
ratchet up another level in palestine, and we saw overnight the use of fighter jet. in the west bank in the occupied west bank in tulcudom where missiles are fired at cafe and 18 marters (18 marters) uh ascended to heaven. this is just shameful that the west continues, the west continues to allow this psychotic regime to exist in the way that it does and for it to do what it does. mr. mashney, we have - if you would listen to this, the um the mr ubaid, levan's health minister said that uh as uh as we speak we have seen 120 casualties all in the healthcare workers these are just healthcare workers uh uh he said we've seen almost more than 20 hospitals medical centers being attacked we've seen almost 120 to 130 vehicles medical vehicles that have been
2:49 pm
targeted unfortunately same playbook that we saw in gaza where hospital facilities health facilities. and health personnel were targeted, we seeing a repeating the same playbook in lebanon, now the regime uh went into gaza supposedly in the pretext that wants to eliminate hamas, but you saw you, three quarters of gaza is nothing but debris now, and uh, and and there are worldwide concerns from the un, from even israel's western allies, they don't wanted to see lebanon, especially beirot turned into another gaza, but they seem helpless to stop the regime, i mean uh, are there any hopes at that? someone at some point is going to pressure the regime into accepting sease fire so it does not turn lebanon upside down. one can only hope that at some point they'll get some humanity, but i think we'll be waiting a long time if we're waiting for western leadership to show any humanity. what we must know is that they see in the entire arab world, the entire middle east as some sort of
2:50 pm
other. our humanity doesn't rate on their humanity. scale, we're not white enough, we're not blund enough, our eyes are the wrong color. when we talk about that playbook, as you you repeated my points there, it should also be noted that israel as settler colony, an impost onto the area. what is often missed in western discourse is the fact that palestine existed, that israel came to us, a western implant onto ancient arab land. that this ideology is as settler colony, doesn't exist unless the natives are oppressed and ideally wiped out. this has never been a war.
2:51 pm
emptied of palestinians has run advertising for real estate in the south of lebanon, there are army officers that are wearing badges on their shoulders with map of greater israel from the nile to the euphraties taking a big chunk of the arab world. we have to be clear, israel is an expansionist colonial state, it's part of the empire, it's a vassel state, the west has an interest in keeping. this psychopantic fascist genocidal regime inexistent, but increasingly around the world, increasingly around the world, people
2:52 pm
of good heart, of good nature are standing up and saying enough. we've seen the floods and the hurricane in um north carolina and tennessee, storm halene houses entire cities wiped out by the storms there, and the residents have been offered somewhere between... have over 100 one point from the latest of figures over 1.2 million lebanese displaced as a result of israel's onslot. now miriem, when you look a country like perhaps iran
2:53 pm
with 80 plus million population, logistically, if something like that would take place here, it would be nightmare for iranian authorities or russia, perhaps with 140 plus, i believe, 144 million population, 1.2 million would nevertheless needless to say be nightmare, yet somewhat... manageable, but 1.2 million people in lebanon, that is a significant chunk of the lebanese population, that must be a literal nightmare for lebanese authorities. yes, daniel, absolutely is, um, this is clear that it's clear that the government has uh declared the state of emergency, and we are in a state of the humanitarian catastrophe, uh, and that number is only just ustimate and we have lot of people, like i said earlier, they have not been recorded, they have come and stay with. relatives and so on and now the issue is the the ratio like you said of the this place based on the population in lebanon is extremely high and though we are so we're
2:54 pm
looking a resemblance of the plaza scenario once more that where are where is the safe happen where is it safe at lebanon where are the people gna go especially in places where the israelies have already targeted specifically displaced people in those houses and this is one of the main piers that we have. the humanitarian level, but of course the israelies have begun their war on the civilians, on the medical facilities, we already have four hospitals that are not no longer operational, we have two other hospitals that have been threatened as well, and so that also leads to more catastrophes and even the fact that we have lot of areas that could probably be witnessing more massacers if they want to continue with that scenario here in lebanon, like for example the schools, we saw this playout in husball how they were targeting the schools which were housing displaced people, and so that is a huge catastrophe, it's a crisis here, the people are so managing, but many are saying
2:55 pm
that this is also part of the israeli tactic to weaken the people, especially the supporters of the resistance, because they are the main, the main side that is being displaced, and also to put pressure on the other communities within lebanon to try to also go against that community in order to stop their support for the... assistance at least when it has to do with the issue of support for guz down, they started hearing the western back political group starting to say that we need to break that link that we've made with ghazza, we no longer need to support ghazza and so on, in order for the war to stop, however the people who support the resistance understand that the the war on lebanon, especially with the issue of the pagers and the assassinations, which would of course take years, this means that the israelies always have this plant for lebanon, whether there were genocidal or not, they always have times to extend their power and to uh to launch aggressions continuously on lebanon to maintain their hegem. okay, thank
2:56 pm
you uh, miriam, and do stay safe, mady, am that our press tv beirot correspond and also mr. naser mashney, joining us out of uh melbourne, thank you both and do stay safe and viewers that brings us to the end of your press tv news boleton, thank you for joining us and bye-bye for now. operation took israel off guard, playing the victim, the regime called it an unprovoked attack.
2:57 pm
but did hamas really attack the regime out of the blue with no good reason? gaza stripped of life.
2:58 pm
2:59 pm
the netherlands, the hague 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 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
3:00 pm
can turn the world upside down.
