10:30 am
the galaxy leader vessel in the red sea, everyone's surprise, nobody expected that such an operation would be conducted uh against any nation let alone uh the israeli regime, that was a ship that was captured, and from that day, from november 19, ansad allah has stepped up their attacks in the red sea and in surrounding waters, targeting all israeli linked vessels, all israeli linked cargo, all israeli shipments delivering a c of catastrophic blow to the israeli economy, ever since november 19, when these operations began in the red sea, the two ports in occupied palestine, the port of haifa and the port of ilat, they have declared a state of emergency, the port of ha is on the brink of closing, the owner of the port of he mentioned that the red sea have impacted them and affected them in ways they never imagined, in addition to the attacks on israeli ship. they've also conducted attacks
10:31 am
for the very very first time in history against us aircraft carriers, the us aircraft carrier, the eisenhower, it no longer finds itself lurking in the red sea because they are worried of the ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles and drone attacks being directed from yemen, they targeted and they of directly hit the u.s. power uh aircraft carrier a couple of months back, of course the us tried to cover up this news because it was a big embarrassment. in addition to that, you also have the role of hizballah in lebanon who uh made it clear to the world that they will not stand by while genocide is being committed against the palestinian people, and they took a more sort of role targeting the israeli entity, which then force israel to launch this aggression, on
10:32 am
southern lebanon and a military aggression which so far has been a booby trap for israel, they thought that they would be able to cross into uh southern lebanon, but what they found upon trying to enter lebanon was that the only thing waiting for them was death, chaos and destruction as hizballah according to the martered sayid hassan nasrallah, he was preparing for this for many, many years and upon seeing these achievements followed by the iranian attack, the iranian attack which the world has never witnessed, whereby over 200 missiles were launched from the islamic republic hitting the israeli entity at the heart, hitting its military sites, strategic military sites and letting israel know that they are not invisible and that the access of resistance in iran, they're not concerned about their threats, so all of these happened within the time frame of year, and today yemen stands at the forefront along with the other members of
10:33 am
the axis of resistance ready for war and ready to confront the challenges and the threats being directed from the west and from the israeli regime. this is what today represents for yemenes and when it comes to the yemenis, yusuf uh, what is our sentiment behind their level of support, how passionate they are about their support behind the palestinians of gaza, behind the lebanes and also behind to your point, the operations by yemen's. armed forces, especially the ansteral against uh israely interests on the high seas against the us and uk are uh, we know they're very vocal, the yemenese are, what's our level of support for the palestinians, for the lebanes and for their own operations against israely entity and its allies? well, we've seen the protest take to the streets every friday, it's in fact, it's not just every friday, it's every friday and every wednesday, and in some provinces it's a daily uh base, because they feel like it's an
10:34 am
obligation, an islamic obligation to stand with, to stand against the genocide that has of taken place in palestine. i think anywhere in the world where you have massive public support to any government initiative, especially a military initiative where you have the overwhelming majority of the country supporting the country's army to take decisive military action for the uh the cause of an external nation like palestine and especially yemen being 2000. 400 kilometers away from palestine, um, it only lets you know how dedicated and how close the relationship is and how dear the palestinian cause is to the yemeni people, but with that said, you know, it's not going to be all, it's not going to be pretty in the sense of this is just going to be victory after victory after after victory, they many people they went to war uh for for for nine years against the saudi. coalition where yemen was
10:35 am
bombed, uh, some territories were taken over by saudi backed forces and yemeny army was able to regain, regain capture of those territories that fell on under the control of the saudi lad coalition mercenaries, so what we can tell from the history of the yemeni wars is that these unsar law, the yemeni army, they don't, they don't easily fold, even if the odds are pinned against them, even if they are attacked relentlessly by the us, by the british, by the saudi led coalition, as we've seen unfold since 2015, simply does not go away, they only get stronger as history has they only advanced military capability, they only escalate their military attacks and this is something that yemy people know very well, but this is also something that the ent the entire world is finding out and to the dretment of israel who wants the us to step in and fight yemen its
10:36 am
behalf, but even the us doesn't want no part of yemen, because they know it's a it's a endless war, it's a unwinning, you cannot war win a war aga. yemen because of yemen's geographic location, because of the vast valleys, because of the high mountains, it gives very strategic advantage to yemen fighters. the only advantage that israel may have or the us is that their superior military power, their air strike capability, their ability to conduct air rays with the f-35 fighter jets, the advanced fighter jets that we keep hearing about, but even with that. according to some yemensar law officials, military officials, even that's not going to be out of the target range of the military capability, which indicates that perhaps there's air defense systems that are in place in yemen, that are waiting for the
10:37 am
perfect time to be activated and perhaps prevent any type of aerial raids being conducted by the us or by any of the by israel. or any other power across the region or from western nations, and i'm glad you mentioned that because i was going to ask before we let you go, the regime and and its allied the us, usuf, you very well know they've recently targeted yemen once again with air strike, how has that uh impacted yemeni armed forces, it has it detered them, supposedly they're doing it to deter them from going after uh us and israely interest, how far has that gone in detering the yemenis from? carrying out their said operations, well i think we will find that, we'll find out the answer to that in the coming hours, perhaps during the demonstration uh, today is not going to end until you know yemen celebrates october 7 in the way that it sees
10:38 am
fit, and i don't think it's just going to be a public mass protest, i think there's military preparations undergoing as we speak right now, and i think this day... is not going to land in until yemen uh sets uh a mark to commemorate this day, and i think it might be with a hypersonic, a ballistic missile or a drone attack against the israeli entity, and i think this is something uh, this is a realistic scenario that could unfold in the coming hours, as we see, ansad allah has shown that they are fully capable and and and and uh have the military power and capability to launch attacks. whenever they want uh, they've showed that they have the uh uh the intelligence, the military intelligence, the military uh uh intelligence gathering that gives them the information and education on uh any vessels that are linked to israel in the red sea any uh us aircraft
10:39 am
carriers, as you know some of these ships or most of these ships they try to go undetected, they turn off their ais, they try to turn off their radars to in order to avoid the detection, by yemen's naval forces, but all these efforts have have failed and most these ships that try to turn off their radars, it gives the indication to the yemeni naval forces that they are affiliated with the israeli regime, and then we see these ships being targeted as we've seen last week, yeman law, they they targeted a british tanker in addition to another israeli linked vessel, and these ships have other option but to either. on their radars and to request approval from ansar allah from yeman or to turn away and if that fail you know if they if they don't turn away then they are taking a big risk by crossing babam and trying to cross the uh red sea off the coast of hideida which has become a well familiar target zone
10:40 am
for unsar allah ballistic missiles and drones for our viewers that are just uh joining us it seems like we also have mr. barry grossman now also uh joining us uh international lawyer from bali, indonesia, we also have a press tv, yusuf joining us from the emmy capital, we are in the middle of special coverage on the one-year anniversary. of operation alax of flood launched by palestinian resistance factions let by hamos exactly year ago falling on this morning actually where the uh early morning uh hours of october 7th culminated in thousands of rockets uh shot toward israeli settlements and the southern uh occupied uh territories near the so-called buffer uh areas of gaza um the thousands of rocket attacks were then followed up by uh a breach of that so-called buffer or fence using a bulldozers,
10:41 am
paragliders uh drones that targeted the uh uh the the um occupation forces observation posts and then uh we saw uh trucks and motorcycles in mass thousands of resistance fighters raid uh dozens of uh israeli settlements they say over 119 uh uh points of entry breaches. along that it was seen in the over 75 years of the um occupation by the anist entity as the biggest uh uh security failure and security breakdown and these are live images you can see there from saada yemen some of the most vocal protesters on the planet every single week we see multiple cities in yemen with hundreds of thousands of protesters coming out now we've seen protests in the thousands and many uh uh cities the last year in support of palestinians as they have been victims of an unbearable onslot by
10:42 am
the uh israeli um entity, but we mentioned drones, bulldozers, trucks, motorcycles and pergliders, breach, design security installments on october 7th last year, what is referred to as operation alxa flood by resistance fighters as a stormed israeli settlements, hamas fighters breach so-called gaza fence at. that point attacking occupation military bases and laying siege upon 21 israeli settlements including baari, kafer aza, nur az, nativ, hasara and alumim, now thousands of resistance fighters in a very surgical calculated attack entered occupied palestine, as i just mentioned in a 119 places opposite is really settlements that morning all rendered these settlements illegal, illegally oc by international law, and as a result over 1200 israelis were killed, many occupation for soldiers and
10:43 am
armed settlers and many israelis by the occupation military itself, amits all the both all the chaos and also deliberately under the regime so-called hannibal directive, and over 250 israelies were taken captive back to gaza, by resistance factions, operational flood is seen as a huge success by resistance and worldwide supporters of palestinians and their struggle against the occupations also se just mentioned as very dark day for the occupy entity as perhaps its biggest security failure and breakdown in a 75 year history mr bery gross and welcome to our rolling coverage uh your initial thoughts on this one year anniversary and uh on what operation of flood the message was designed you you feel to send the israeli entity, but we also come back to that as hamas released a statement back in january for that
10:44 am
clarification, i'm going to share that with our viewers in a minute, but go ahead, here we are year on and and this creature now is uh is well out of the swamp, it's lying on the ground walking through the cities, we see it on television, it's not hiding at night in the swamp where we can only see his little eyeballs, it's out there, it's out of the swamp, it's out of its shell, and it's ugly, and it's toxic, and what's really quite astounding is that things have not only been allowed to get as far as they've gone, but that they've been actively encouraged to go this far, and and even further, the amount of double speak apocrisy is absolutely shameful, but when i think about year having gone by, i can't help, but... think about the people of gaza and what they've endured now for year, i
10:45 am
speak to people regularly in gaza, and it's heartbreaking, as impressive as their stowicism is, it's heartbreaking to speak to them, they, they keep expecting something to change, and it goes from worse to worse, and here we are year on, nobody really pays attention anymore to the official body count. because of course it's impossible uh uh for palestinians to actually uh get the bodies out from the runes, count them and identify them. so the 5000 or so official count is a fraction of the real count with many international organizations estimating that at least 200 thousand people have been killed with a great many of them being women and children and and overwhelming percentage of the rest being civilians. we've seen, we've
10:46 am
seen the occupation forces routinely target and b. and fully destroy hospitals, emergency medical vehicles, they've killed hundreds of journalists, they've repeatedly attacked un facilities, killed many un employees as well as attack refugee camps, and the list goes on, if if there's a if there's a target which in the international law of armed conflict is not so... supposed to be hit, the israeli seem pretty much to make a policy out of hitting it, because we all know of course that for very long time now that they've been planning this and they've had this policy that wanting to go to war and to be so brutal towards palestinians and the lebanese that
10:47 am
they imagine they'll somehow break the spirit the people and they'll give up and of course that's incredibly nice this is not going to happen, it hasn't happened in all these decades, it's not going to happen no matter what they do, if anything quite the opposite is happening, amaz has never been more popular, hezballah has never been more popular and all for very good reason, and i fully salute the resistance throughout the region, they're doing fascinating a stand-up job, and they have for many years, so while those other... sad to say, arab league countries led by questionable families were actively supporting iso in syria to wage war and establish whatever it is they wanted to establish through terrorism with the us largely arming and training them and everything else but pretending to be fighting
10:48 am
them and fighting terrorism. in fact it was, it was the militias from iraq. hezbollah, iran and the wider, the wider resistance that ultimately sent iso packing, in the same way they sent al-qaeda packing, so that now all we really have left of al-qaeda, are some remnants which we call al-qaeda in the peninsula, ironically, predominantly in yemen, and their terrorist force that the president. was appointed and opposed to rule as a transitional president in yemen for one year, he relied on them a lot to keep him in power, of course the resistance, the houti sent that particular individual packing, he resigned much like the the the ethnic russian president of the ukraine went running home to
10:49 am
to saudi arabia, but the rest of the world. said no, he's still the president so that they could justify their ongoing intervention in yemen, they did exactly the opposite, they adopted exactly the opposite position and essentially the identical circumstances that existed in in in the ukraine when they took the position, well, he's gone, he left, that's it, and now let's hold the election, and we, the united states, it turned. out we're saying we'll decide who will be the president of the ukraine, but the palestinian people, the gasens in particular have been through year of horrors, people moving 6, e 10 times, typically with nothing but what they can carry through all seasons of the year, people dying being destroyed
10:50 am
everywhere, all the while the occupation armed as much as any military. be armed by the latest technology from the us is bombing everything and then going through and destroying everything as though that's somehow required. nobody seems to be asking any of these questions. how can fighting what they claim is a terrorist organization require them after carpet bombing in area to go in and basically knock everything to the ground and plow it away? it doesn't, that's quite clear, uh, the us continues to, like so many atlantic world powers continues to refuse. use to recognize the obvious, which is that no nation has the right to defense, to defend itself as an occupying power
10:51 am
against tax by the people that they're occupy, and as a crawlery, it's tried international law that an occupied people have the right to engage in armed resistance to fight their occupation. somehow that all gets pushed aside and we saw, we've seen this coming of course, hamas gets labeled to terrorist organization, hez labeled a terrorist organization, the houti are labeled to terrorist organization, iran is labeled the state sponsor of terrorism, when all they're doing is what the us does, except they're doing it with the sound moral footing, they're doing what the... entire islamic world should be doing, which is in effect carrying out a jihad to fight for our brothers and sisters that are being tormented
10:52 am
in this god awful way, and then we have baby netanyahu there, he's quite intentionally using the language of the 15th century by repeatedly saying, he did it again today, that the civilized world should... fully support israel in fighting these barbarians, it brings up images of the first round of colonialism sponsored by the church of rome, when the pope divided the world between the portuguese and the spanish, and off they went, and one of the first areas of course that they that they charted was was the mediterranean and north african coast, they called it the barbary coast, the barbarian coast, and this is the... that b is using in this situation, not withstanding that it was the so-called barbarian nations, including
10:53 am
the entire middle east and the arab world that saved the jews when the europeans were routinely carrying out pograms and trying to eliminate them all under pain of death, forcing them to convert, leave or be executed, and we still... have very large population of jews in iran and tehran and baghdad and in other places and as much as that miao and his crowd have tried to bribe them to leave and go and live in occupied palestine, they've said no, now bibi and his crew, they forget all of that, because mostly they're not even jews, okay, the the the modern sionist is for the most part atheist. "most of the leaders of what they call israel have identified as jewish atheists, whatever that is, and as it's been pointed out much
10:54 am
more cleverly than i can, they don't believe in god, but they believe god gave them palestine, but if you actually read the torah and read the old testament, it didn't come without strings, and the deal was off when they broke the covenant that moses made, when he went up the mount, so so it's all mad. this uh and all of this is being done basically to reak havic on the middle east and let me just to leave allow me just i don't want to cut you off i just want to update our our viewers that are just turning in because they're seeing four uh different uh split screens there uh with respect to a uh that's a protest live taking place in the yemeny city of sada in support of palestinians and the uh one-year anniversary uh mark. of operation alax of flood which a which was a comprehensive uh attack by a palestinian resistance factions against is really settlements and why hamos carried out
10:55 am
that attack or i should say spear-headed that attack, we will uh bring you hamos's official narrative, i will shortly, but over the last couple of days thousands of pro- palestinian demonstrators have protested they poured out in cities throughout the world um on this anniversary of hamas's operation. on alax of flood october 7th of last year against israeli occupied palestinian territories that triggered what we saw for over last year the genocide by the zinius entity in gaza demonstrations were held in major cities over the last couple days from jakarta to istanbul to rabat and uh even in washington and uh new york as well as a bunch of major european capitals over the weekend um operation alax flood left over 1200 settlers in occupation four soldiers dead and over 250 israelis were taken captive back to gaza and since many of
10:56 am
them have uh either been released by hamas and prisoner exchange deal or been killed by unrelenting bombing campaign by the israelis on gaza over the last 365 days now israel's subsequent uh military onslot on gaza has left nearly 42,000 palestinians dead now, majority ordinary civilians including over 16,00 children, over 10,00 mothers, over 20,000 palestinian children have been orphand losing. both parents um the the gaza has been choked off uh from all the entry uh points of vital supplies needed uh by desperate um internally displaced gazas as practically the entire gaza population has been uh displaced multiple times in uh the besieg territory uh most of the residential and commercial infrastructure of gaza has been completely turned into rubble um uh barry, before i come
10:57 am
back to you, and i want to come back to you, and i want to ask you, but because you are an attorney, and i want to ask you why um, palestinians can get recourse when it comes to the law, but really quick, i like to uh uh mention this january, back in january of the same year uh barry, hamas, they uh published a 16 page report to highlight the motives behind october 7th operation alexa of flood and its connection to the palestinian. the report titled our narrative operation alax of flood, check this out berry, and our viewers, it said is aimed at refuting israel's claim said that operation alexa flood was necessary step and natural reaction against israel's plans to eliminate the palestinian cause, seiz lands, judeis, palestinian lands and establish complete control over the alaxa mosk and holy sites. the report also
10:58 am
underscored operation alaxa flood represented. a strategic move to alleviate the blockade in the gazo strip, break free from israeli occupation, restore national rights, attain independence, shape a palestinian destiny and establish a palestinian state with jerusalem alcuds as its capital, now uh many would argue very that over 75 years there would never be the kind of arm resistance we see today, there would never be in operation alexa flood if palestinians had the protection of international courts, international legal, humanitarian law protecting them, why has international law very for so many years eluded the palestinian people? ultimately there's no enforcement mechanism, unless it's will that there be one by the united states in the security council, in other words, the ability to get an enforceable judicial outcome be in the icc or the icj depends on
10:59 am
the... forcement at the end of the day, and that in turn depends on the united nations being willing to do something, and nato taking its instructions in some small part from the united nations, and of course, the us, more than any other permanent member of the security council, continuously runs political interference and uses his vedo power in the security council, not to achieve. "the aim set out for the united nations and the security council in particular by the un charter, but to promote its own ideological view of the universe and us hegimony, and of course zionism plays a very big part in all of that, this ultim, i mean the whole problem ultimately started because a whole bunch of north american and european and to some extent russian jews." uh
11:00 am
decided they wanted to go live in uh uh you know in palestine um and from that time on whatever they did was overlooked whether it was assassinations attempted assassinations of us presidents actual assassinations of british ministers of the of the national government uh un rapporteurs the list goes on and on and on and on in fact. "they were the ones who invented what we know as modern terrorism with the bombing of the king david hotel uh and there's been no political willingness to to step in and see justice be done and it's hard to fathm for me anyway that uh it's like this simply because the bribery or because the power exercised uh by"
11:01 am
israel, israel in the united states and in great britain, i think they have lot of dirt on uh the leading western uh uh the leadern leading. atlantic world powers and it's if you like it's they force them to do it, if you don't stick with us will spill the beans, whether it's the the fixing of the capital markets to see the us dollar remain strong and high when it should be low or or or anything else, but the simple fact is even if you can get these courts to uh hear a case and get the prosecutors to... bringing a case, and even if they were to ultimately make a judgment in favor of palestinians, it all means nothing absent in enforcement mechanism, and like so much of international law, including the universal declaration of
11:02 am
human rights, for example, there is no enforcement mechanism, so one has to be crafted, and for one to be crafted, it basically has to be supported by security council and the us make sure, make sure that never happens. in the meantime, for its part, israel has totally turned against the united nations, it's been killing hundreds and hundreds of united nations employees, it's banned the the the the head of the un as a person in israel ban from entering israel, i mean that ought to be enough really for the for the for the general assembly and for that matter security. to get together and revoke israel's membership as member state, which was obtained under false pretenses anyway, there were promises made when israel received un recognition, namely...
