the, the breaking news on our t lab and on foreign minister reveals the sci fi do was on the verge of being pro good, but these are all still chose to kill, that has a lead to launch a growl defensive back around his also ended the confrontation for 2 whole months it had shown remarkable restraint under the circumstances, rochester, as he arrives, responds to res running kennings of political leaders shows restraints. pilots are ron said, that strikes are justified in self defense. it's printed in by an emphasized following yesterday's attack. the united states has fully fully fully supported a visit and while the us reiterated to all the wavering support for ease, well, by the united nations,

the id of threatened to strike back anywhere in the bed least the afternoon a gift. we have the capabilities to strike any point in the middle east. those of our enemies who have not yet understood this will soon understand it. we will respond. we know how to locate important targets. we know how to strike with precision and power the t. ron releases videos, i missed ballistic missile strike against user all say it targeted air bases. are the most odd headquarters. although these ready and us officials down played the attack, said it was ineffective. this attack failed is failed, thinks that israel's air defense system of the attack. and in effect, this attack appears to have been defeated. an effective the,

the web is r t international, reaching you from our new center with moscow. i a michael watson that we stopped with the breaking news now the lebanese foreign minister has revealed the ceasefire . deal was on the verge of being bouquets and 11 on, and both the government and has the lead a half. and the throttle agreed to it is where the prime minister is said to have known about it, but still decided to assassinate estrada, and then long had brought of operation. are you saying house on the thrall i had agreed to a ceasefire just moments before he was assassinated? he agreed, he agreed? yes, yes, we are agreed completed, other like business, his file, but consulting with has the with, has butler, the speaker? mr. bentley consulted with his butler and we informed the americas and to finish that. and that's what happened. so, and they told us and is that the best of the video also agreed on the statement

that was issued. bevells, president of course, a deal could have been reach lebanon's prime minister issued statements suggesting that the 2 sides of the warrant sides had agreed on terms for the most part that has the law agreed to the terms that they were willing to sit down and agree to a cease fire, and we understand that the lebanese prime minister doesn't mind and measured mccarthy, essentially relay that information to washington relay the information to paris, who then relay that information to tell a visa of the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu did know that his beloved, was willing to sit down and put a pause on the escalating conflict, but decided to escalate instead of killing has been lost. secretary general has on the line to process and to an extent putting the entire region at for the risk of a prolonged and protracted conflict. however, it did not stop. there is rarely lit rates and artillery. essentially error rates on the lebanese capital continued. and it came to a point where, of course,

over the course of the past 2 weeks, over a 1000 people have been killed. the casualties over the past 2 weeks are essentially the same if not worse than the casualties in 2006 when his beloved and israel went to war over the course of a month. but what we do understand is the reasoning behind this is most likely because these really prime minister benjamin that's a no, was losing popularity, is rarely prime minister. benjamin atanya was also facing charges of a rupture. and the timing of everything was just too great. there was a pole in his real, whether the wanted lands and incursions in lebanon. and there was an, essentially a support of 80 percent of votes. and these really promised that capitalized on that and continues to attack the country as well as a capital wireless. seems that was a window for a ceasefire, overlap and on. it's not the same case when it comes to gaza. it is a different scenario, but the reality is the same. we understand that cuts are as well as egypt were

essentially holding or mediating talks. and it seemed that for the most part and things were going its way, but nothing really concrete resulted. as a result of the level of the mediation or the talks, we understand that how mazda officials said that the is really side kept changing their delegations, that they kept changing the terms essentially delaying the prospects of a ceasefire. essentially provoking the conflict escalating the conflict. it seemed that this rule just was not interested in putting a stop to the hostilities. but what we also understand is that the united states is also complicit in these actions, we understand us state department spokesperson. matthew miller said that the us had never had any intentions to negotiate with homeless. however, that statement is in contradiction with previous statements. he's made over the year. we've never wanted to see a diplomatic resolution with them. us. well, okay, well what, what about the ceasefire? one to see a ceasefire, but we have always management. we have, we have always been committed to the destruction and from us we did want to see

a ceasefire, but we have always made clear that we wanted to see a different authority moving forward in governance of, of a god, send you to engage with our partners in the region most specifically with egypt and cutter, about what that proposal will contain and making sure or trying to see that it's a proposal that can get the parties to an ultimate agreement. do i have the time table for you other than to say that we are working expeditiously to try to develop that proposed to try to find something that would bring both the parties to say yes and to formally submitted. but like i said, don't have any updates on time. how many days united states will continue engage with our partners in the region to push for a final agreement. during tax last week, we made progress on dealing with the obstacles that remain. but ultimately finalizing the agreement or require both sides to show flexibility. they will require that both sides look for reasons to get to us,

rather than reasons to say no. the general sentiment coming out of washington suggests the united states was always in a position to end of the conflict or at least mediate a ceasefire agreement. but the reality on the ground is the united states has stuck with its ally israel, providing it with financial as well as military support over the course of the past year. the bombs that are reading and gaza, the bombs that are reading in the sell the parts of the country as well as the capital, the, the explosions that we witnessed earlier as a result of us, of support to israel is really error rates continue to rock the lebanese capital moments before midnight, i heard a series of explosions, 3 rockets targeting, southern suburbs of fatal, which we understand moments after that. the idea issued a statement suggesting that carried out a precise strike against the capital. but what we do know is that the target of one of those strikes flattened a residential building. this is not the 1st time that is really air force is carried out, strikes targeting residential buildings and flattening them. over the course of the

past week. there have been several attacks and some of the use of some of these attacks have not just focused on his beloved control territories. some of these attacks essentially targeted civilian infrastructure within the capital, outside of hezbollah, strongholds the shift and tactics by israel suggests. they're also entering a new phase one that does not distinguish or differentiate between legitimate or legitimate targets, as long as their strikes precise or not, falls where they wanted to join the list and political commentator lies my rule says these rules actions in the region are all about sending a message to itself of all of the war that we've been seeing for the last year. this genocide in gaza has the same purpose as this invasion of living on is to reassure supremacy within the minds of the sex they're calling us. because what is this call in the design us call? any of that you fall, israel is built on is this idea that there is

a chosen people that they are better than anybody else on every aspect, including the ability to kill at will. and so force the error of the office, the arab that resist this colonization to bowed down. and i missed that master. the master race, that is a chosen people is actually better than that. so why we see how those, you know, for instance, those rapes in the prison camps of specifically for this thing in men. those gang rapes and even the release of those videos is part of this psychological warfare. it's been a 100 years. the arabs are supposed to have their heads and nose is broken and to bowed down and it's been a 100 years that they're refusing. so this is why we see this playing out. because the core issue of design has them there is a built on supremacy,

is still being questioned by the indigenous people now with the bentley's grip by escalating tension, the un security to cancel this, trying to find the solution. iran has taken to the floor of on emergency sessions saying to ron is still restrained for long enough, and as well within its rights to response to these roll. the laws action was in full accordance with the in head on the right to self defense on the, on the ticket, 51 of the you in charleston and the date it's the response to division lupita x of aggression against you on including the relation of it on sovereignty and to towards the integrity during the past months. the of the implication of the right of self defense followed by an extended period of the strength to fix it on this policy, the approach to original until the national piece of security. you don't section on

the self defense is for the justified law for a fairly good on the international legal principles coordinates. i was supposed to see, they put the following a series of political assassinations including the killing of her masters executive council ada. hi, maria has the law secretary general master iowa and several other leaders of movements opposing israel. iran has also entered the compensation for 2 whole months. it has shown remarkable restraint under the circumstances. or of course, today's emergency and you as security council meeting on the middle east was a tennis affair with never stakes pointing fingers each putting the blame on the other side. of course, the meeting was called as the region is brimming with adventures and tensions as well. as steering the pots in lebanon, and it was showing teeth to as well after its a massive missile strike on tuesday. so the focus was funding, he went to the session,

foresaw the focus was particularly on the escalation between that one until of eve, while entrusting with these really invoice slammed the international team. you ready for quote, silence over it was missile attack on his rail. as long as you went in bassett or i'm your site. you know, i've only made it clear that it was strikes were a direct response to what they saw as aggressive. and terrorist acts spies, well law, the iranian official side, it was, response was unnecessary and proportionate. i that's what tell you that as well as breaches of its sovereignty by assassinating the former sometime us leader as mine, honey and kat, rhonda, he said as well, also enjoyed, it was ambassador in lebanon during the pager explosions. uh and uh, the recent showings of a key has been la heaters on top of the mrs. haas on us for law. now, on the flip side, uh us and bassett, or linda thomas greenfield, wasted your time and denouncing everyone's actions as id stabilizing,

publications. and it's what, think of regional piece of security unconvincingly as well. what's paired from any blame and in her words focus solely on it was strikes without acknowledging any prior provocations from as well. colleagues as president biden to emphasize following yesterday's attack, the united states has fully fully fully supported of israel. i can't believe i have to say this, but i will because the ara g c and his allies are out there peddling propaganda. the decision to launch nearly 200 ballistic missiles at israel was not in any way defensive. they are gc was not protecting oran from threats from another member state. instead, the r g c was acting in solidarity with his bola after the killing of natural law. who letter terrorist group that has the blood of thousands of americans living

needs and his release on his hands. i can't think. or i can think of no start, for example, of state support of terrorism, then watching ballistic missiles through the vendors, the death of a terrace leader. it is indefensible, and it is an acceptable and we have a collective responsibility as members of the security council to impose additional sanctions on the, our g. c for supporting terrorism and for flaunting. so many of this councils. resolutions are shifting gears to a restaurant. the russian representative because why, but the was for fueling the conflict bytes arming israel while turning a blind dye to the humanitarian crisis. that sponsor on folding and gauze, a rush, i demanded an immediate cease fire and pushed for dialogue. instead of escalating military actions are hunting, and washington's policies that still rob animosity and violence are the washer and basset,

or to the one. now wonder if that he was understands the scale of the disaster. uh, and as well as planned to ignite, a larger conflict in the region. so he advised washington to be more careful about the consequences of his approach rep who needs to move on the producer. i would not be able to act so brazenly and disrespectfully towards international law if he did not feel under the unconditional where the protection of the united states. for the sake of a, it's middle eastern ally, washington has exercise the is being so power in the security council 5 times and has been deliberately trying to mislead us and certainly june promoting its infamous bite and plan. and is quite to play was saying that brokering a deal between how my son israel frankly this gives a persistent the impression that these in direct negotiations to being conducted by washington with itself israel. it does not need any mediating efforts and continues . it's into main campaign, unabated. it is becoming increasingly clear that the is really leadership in times

at any cost to provide a direct conflict between its main regional adversary around and the united it's. it's hard to say whether those english didn't understand this. but for now, this play is unfolding to the tune of his right interest. if it reaches its climax, the company could escalate to unimaginable levels, threatening not only the middle east, but the entire wild. china is approach seem to align with these sentiments, china's and boy, i quote, the call for a balance approach. distressing gobby significance of piece talks to chat, cold, the underlying causes of on grass in the region. they called for an end to hostilities. and of course, saw the allowance of the flow of humanitarian aid in affected area. so he was indirectly pointing fingers at his well, yeah, for you. so we share that you ins position that any incursion by israeli forces into lebanese territory violates living on sovereignty and territorial integrity

and contradicts the provisions of security council resolution. 1701. since october of last year, the cycle of violence and conflict has been repeating itself in the middle east. amidst the complete disregard for calls from the international community for an immediate cease fire. and we urge all parties, especially israel, to exercise restraint and refrain from any actions that could lead to further escalation of the situation. so there was different and in some cases, opposing takes on the unfolding crisis and that we did. but what's clear is that the divide between the western nations and the rest of the world is clearly widening the wes touch. fastly defend it is wells wide to retaliate brushing off please for restraint uh as impractical given the current circumstances on the website. many countries expressed frustration over what they saw as the west cute foreign policy that they say favors one side over the other. let me bring in mary

maria here to give us a perspective not maria, and the us is read to rating it's on wave ring support. 2 e's real yet again. what more do we know at this point? washington has been the case. ponds are an arm supplier for israel in this conflict, including the deadly warren guys, are followed by air, bombardments and now the ground operation and lab. but on the u. s. has also been shielding israel diplomatically all these months between resolutions of the un security council that they deemed contradictory tories really interest delivering to protective speeches and just to find violence, including when it's resulted in civilian casualties and gaza alone. according to this troops house ministry, the idea of so offensive has claimed around 42000 lives, among whom all thousands of children and women and the elderly. the death toll and attacks and 11 also continues to rise again, including the civilian population. yet not only does washington refrain from

condemning these real, but it also protects israel with the old mantra off the rights to self defense. the u. s. is also israel's key strategic partner. it help israel intercepts me, sol as far as from the wrong you are in a prose attack and now on tuesday as well. even when we heard some criticism from across the ocean or some concerns were boys from washington, it actually rarely lasted long and barely changed anything as we saw, for example, with the invasion of rough, a densely populated 16 southern gaza, or with the ground operation in lab and on that, washington has been repeatedly saying it opposes at the very moment when the u. s. invoice to the u. n. was reaffirm, and american support for israel while condemn in iran for is attack. the idea of chief of stop issued a statement threatened, and israel's animal is with the ability to reach them anywhere in the middle is

that's they can listen this afternoon a give we have the capabilities to strike any point in the middle east. those of our enemies who have not yet understood this will soon understand it. we will respond. we know how to locate important targets. we know how to strike with precision and power. all is really in bass of the, to the when addressing the security council earlier. also condemned the round for the mist, how the raj, and stated the tire on, must be held accountable. one must be a heavy price for these attack. any seamless is complexity. do not be fooled by the fact that is very, it'll be francisco from new miracle last night, saving countless lives beyond imagination. therefore, i appreciate i will pass no further assistance in defending against a one's attack. i once fellow managed the either behind their actions,

the intentions would you witnessed was nothing showed of fuel unrestrained evil destiny. is it a thought? if there is history, they have openly launched hundreds of reasons. the info see didn't areas up to date . the mask is off and though he believes now laid bare for the wall to see. that's one of the g must reveal it's to nature know just have the world's greatest phone sale of bill. but as an active, direct, a gristle on tuesday and iran launched an unprecedented attack against israel, firing at around 200 ballistic me, solves to here on claims. the number was double, but there onset it was targeting israel's military infrastructure, including the notary headquarters in calories located inside the residential area. a southern military base and strategic military intelligence centers. israel's gaz riggs and the mediterranean were also targeted. israel initially denied any damage

to its military facilities describing the running attack as a taylor leader, the admitting that one military base was indeed paid. well, we have to say that the ran in attack on tuesday was huge in scale, but in terms of casualties. nope, that's significant. as a result, we know that one man was killed in the city of jericho in the west bank and 2 others slightly injured. it is difficult to compare rates, which is really military operations, whether in gaza or lab and on. or when israel attacked yeah man twice. however, if you make a comparison, it will hardly be in israel's favor. and if one wants to be fair and while we're talking about the need to help those responsible accountable, they should be questions for as well as well. while on top of that, he's role has declared the un secretary general pest not on graph,

or what he said was his faith to condemn me. ron's missile attack ivy's ready and void to the un says i'm telling you a good that as easy set to be putting tied up even to run on the same side on this page might be put out basically calling for the escalation not mentioning they want not mentioning we, the dresser always says defending is, it's people that's more of the question is detached from reality. and that's why we would like to accept that. and i expect that they would, they would generate due date when he comes to the security counseling and few minutes to state very clearly. we that dresser in this conflict, indeed that back over you want to buy one against these well and not to court both sides and know to put that thing the same place. addressing the security council shortly after he had been declared passing a non grata antonio goods had as ross to clarify that his was previous condemnation . while not directly naming iran was indeed intended for a run. however,

he did express his disapproval on the escalating violence throughout the region along with the humanitarian crisis in gaza, but refrain from explicitly condemning needs all. the while as tell of eve's closest ally opted not to support to move against good, that is at least on paper imagery. i love it for us for me to present. so the israel caps the statement this morning. the time of your guitars will be banned from entering his route. do you have any response to the adult fines that's or we don't find that stuff to be productive in any way. but john liz called them and bob, who to you said that the ease roll declaring what that is best done on grass. that is just another case of it's. chris stayed against the united nations. it's not your fault, or is it it is to accuse the united nations as an organization, even now they are they consider the longer off at the store to get an addition and does a good that or she is the last the victim of is that i am being i q is the best when

i go to and then for the main thing is that i am just maybe because he wants to be in minimum to be balanced and being balance. and this will means that you are a guest is an item. if you're not standing with it and with the or, and of course adopting the united states position. uh, concerning is that i, if you look like this, then you of in demand a us administration wants to avoid any escalation in the area one months before the elections might imply to in the ink as a bus. and then you have a few as that. so maybe it's just discharge of the united nations or united states, the position of this escalation, kind of, they want to show kind of a plan to and the, to blend to is that i look good so they will blend. that is done. we saw this and for this escalation, but also maybe it's kind of a message to benjamin that. then you know that what you're doing also is not the right specially when you're leaving escalation. that good thing united,

the state to be bought of this. this is what they're not, they're not at the states doesn't want. now this comes following you around launching a garage of hundreds of muscles towards numerous sites and he's roland tuesday. the now you run published these images showing themselves the enrollment the while the idea of claim that the around the fire, the only about $200.00 projectile to right instead of the real number was twice that that he's rarely and us officials down plays the overnight attack claiming that he was ineffective, only one pressing was reported killed during the strike proposal. this attack failed is failed thanks to israel's air defense system, which is the most advanced in the world. and i congratulate the idea of on its impressive achievement i attacked peers have,

i defeated an ineffective and this is testament is rarely, military capability. and us not this attack appears to have been defeated an ineffective. this was 1st and foremost the result of the professionalism of the ideas, but in no small part because of the skilled work of the us military and meticulous joint planning. in anticipation of the attack, you launch you guy to more iran launched approximately 200 missiles at the state of israel yesterday. the damage was relatively minor. i visited tell north air base. the base is fully operational. it has not ceased to operate for a moment and continues to carry out strikes wherever required to ride usual waited until the following day to admit that some of the writing and myself shaped add basis. but he claimed that there was no significant damage. but let's take a look at the map here. yeah, showing the military infrastructure that he, ron this reported to have been targeting. it includes what's the needs to be the

most i've had. what does dusta north of tel aviv that and also another 3 sides. the po, number base, the hassle base, as well as the never team base here which store f for these 55 projects tags and other military assets. now the wrong on these lovely pollution are regard cool. has announced that the if use it's new, hapless tonic mess of pop the 2 for the 1st time. and it's the attack against easel other for the best while successfully destroyed the rate as of these really arrow to an hour. 3 mess all defense defense systems of the projectiles had the range of 1400 kilometers and 101-6000 kilometers per hour when it comes to speed. now the muscle has the ability to eventually maneuver and change its direction of the professor at the american university school of international services. and mahatma albany must as usual mattress effectiveness by

the number of people killed, then you run to attack was not effective. if this was an effective, that means that there is a valid killing of, you know, a 1000 so guys on goals, so thousands of the new civilian is a very effective image. that is how many civilians are killed. that i think that, you know, you can see it is an effective, we've seen definitely signs that the, the response that contains the response of the ad on human side is calculated in a way to target is a highly, is it i live, we looked at a evans tournaments or places, and i think that was the main message here on wanted to send. on the other hand, of course, each side to spin, spin the response, and in some ways a, you know, to justify that, especially to those that are decides to justify the continuous attack on the am on

the button as well as im garza. but it, you know, if you consider eh, having all the is that i really is citizen in shelters for about 20 or 30 minutes. if that's an effective, then there is something really wrong in the way that is right, is measuring the damage and the effect on if it's severe that that, that definitely something that needs to be taken into consideration without the update. now keep watching r t international for all the latest from the middle east and around the world by now the .
