jamal wakim, a political commentator joining us from beirot, mr. tening to the comments, mr khadumi, if you'd like to add anything to that and also pick up where you left off before we made the interruption, well i believe that uh this strike uh has put the limits ' and the line that shouldn't be crossed by israel, especially that netanyahu is being let's say relantless in his drive towards having a regional conflict, so the iranians told him, well we are ready for a regional conflict if you want to go uh for that, and they told the americans that they are ready for such a conflict, if the americans will keep giving full political and military support for... israel and its crimes in the region, so from now on, i believe that we're on the verge of new stage and in this regard there should be consideration by the west to limit or let's say to to behave themselves and to try to resolve the situation politically in the region so that we wouldn't have a regional conflict that would' have a dangerous repercussions on the stability of the region, but also

jamal wakim about to join or not sure if he's joined us uh yet, but as soon as he does, we'll uh we'll swing over to mr. jamal as well uh mick, you mentioned uh the let me also update our for viewers that are just joining us, we're in the middle of rolling coverage on the one-year anniversary of operation alax of flood launched by palestinian resistance against israeli regime uh targeting is really settlements initially on the morning of october 7th with rockets and then a complete uh infiltration of the uh breach of the barrier between uh gaza and occupied israeli occupied palestinian territories uh 119 different breaches of that so-called fence uh along the um uh uh barrier there um and the palestine resistance factions using motorcycles, trucks and paragliders, they poured into israel uh settlements and had skirmishes with occupation for soldiers, the uh resulting death tool was 1200 dead, 250 uh settlers were taken captives or taken captive that is and back to the besieg gaza strip where uh many have died in the last year due to unrelinting israeli bombardment uh over h were change

in the lebanon, elsewhere in beirot in fact we have uh another... guests in our program, we have jamal wakim, professor of international relations from the lebanese university of beirut. uh, mr. wakim, first of all, welcome to the program. i would like to discuss the the important commemoration processions and the friday prayers in general that happened today with the participation of the leader of the islamic revolution ali khamenei, and the significance of his physical presence after such a long time. after uh the last time that he appeared in a friday prayers and uh took lead of it was after the marturdom of uh general sulaimani uh in 2020 uh so i would like you to speak to the significance of uh today's friday prayers and the context of his speech. well i believe that uh this was a clear sign of the willingness and of iran and the supremely to counter the threats of the united states and the zints to the access of resistance to the lebanese resistance, to the palestinian resistance and to other resistance factions throughout the region who are being confronted with escalation by the scie

jamal wakim, i want to get your thoughts on the continued israeli aggression against uh lebanon, what's the end game here for the israelies, and why is the international community yet again remaining silent? well the what we call the international community which is mainly the western powers are all supportive of the israeli aggression because they considered as part of their war against the eurasian powers uh so that's why they will continue supporting israel as for the israeli war on lebanon it's a new phase and its war against the palestinian people and against the people of the region as part of its plan to install a regional order that is let's say favorable to its strategy and to to to its plans in the region to its hegemon in the region and that's why i believe that it will be a long war, they thought that they will be able to direct the severe blow to the resistance by by the pagers uh attack by the walky talky attack by assassinating the top commanders of the resistance including however based on what we saw yesterday this proved that the the the resistance is still resilient a
