amos hochstein going to the region _ war. amos hochstein going to the region is— war. hochstein going to the region is a good _ war. amos hochstein going to the region is a good thing - the region is a good thing because he is very experienced and has been many times, and as many of the players. aside from that, though, are you seeing any other progress or any signs of hope that we might be closer to some kind of ceasefire deal — anything from any of the other regional players? - anything from any of the other regional players? well, ou aet other regional players? well, you get different _ other regional players? well, you get different answers - you get different answers depending on who you talk to, but here is where things currently are. after hamas executed six of the israeli hostages, that really put things up in the air in terms of the various ratios and formulas that had been negotiated in terms of the hostages in exchange for the freeing of palestinian prisoners held in israeli jails. so that will take some time to figure itself out. on the other hand, the othe

he's got quite a task ahead of him, mr hochstein, when he arrives in the region.ly expect to achieve? lucy, the american position has been very clear, and it's a red light as it pertains to israel broadening and launching an all—out war, an all—out campaign, in southern lebanon. the argument that's been put forward by the administration, as i heard it directly this week, to be put by amos hochstein to visiting israelis, is: can you achieve militarily what you have failed to achieve diplomatically? mr hochstein has essentially negotiated a pre—deal between hezbollah and israel. but that deal, which involves hezbollah moving a certain number of kilometres away from the israeli border — that needs to be unlocked through a ceasefire in gaza. that is the hezbollah and iranian precondition. so israel is much more forward—leaning here, wanting maybe to take the fight to hezbollah, but that very crucial american green light to go ahead and launch that campaign is not there just yet. yes, because what does that look like on the ground, firas? if they're promising israelis

machines to cut the... the coding and decoding of the of the rf and they never did, but let's see hochstein visit to israel, at the same time israel implemented so many rf german system towers close to the border, lebanese border, and then we saw that the airplane, i'm talking about the ec130c called compascal, the... an airplane flying over the lebanese shore, didn't see it, but we we can we uh we could detected by normally it was there, so this this airplane it it works the the the same as the awacs and they can uh help the israelis to detect all the rf machines, i'm talking about the pesers, beepers or the the icom v82. so this first let's see lebanese, they are, i don't think if it's under the military equipments, lebanon does not have the right to import. such machines from taiwan or japan, the american have some sanctions against any companies that trade with lebanon, especially they will say that it it will go to hisbullah, so if this in this case if this machine is under civilian machine, we know that it's against the civilian and it is so and they know so, but if it is they conside

israeli did not do it uh four months ago or three months ago, why they had to wait until now until hochstein is or hochsteen is in tel aviv to to do so, maybe he brought the machine, the interception machine or he... give them the password how to do it and the instruction to or the instruction to do it, so i think this operation, this terror act is dually done by the israelis and the american side by side. thank you, ali and daniel, i'd like to put that same question to you, because you could imagine western leaders, what their take would be on this, had it happened on their soil, and whether it was syria or lebanon or iran. or anyone else that was behind it, you would hear the word uh terrorism, reckless, dangerous, million times, you'd see sanctions and condemnations, but why is the language and the reaction so different when it comes to the lebanese people? so i think there are um two major reasons, one of them is of course that this entire concept of terrorism, the way it is used in the west, is very racialized concept, it pertains to white people and people of european origin, people in

border. with israel, we will not move away from the borders through the united nations like america, hochsteins, you know, continuous efforts, he wanted to the the lebanese to exert pressure, the government of lebanon like mickatty and the speaker, they they they asked the americans, the administration by joe biden through hochstein's visits, continuous visits to lebanon to exert pressure under on his. to move away from the borders about five to six miles, i mean in kilometers, 8 to 10 kilometers in order for them to have you know much more convenient space for the settlers in the north and the citizens of israel, and this is absolutely absurd, and let me tell tell mr. netanyahu, he is listening to me, you are very stupid and naive person to think that way and to deliver such a statement, you will never achieve. anything, you are loser because you are killer and massacer, blood sucker, you and gallant and halivi and all the top ministers, especially and simotrich, those extreme right-wing ministers of the government, and what they represent, because they are playing with his nerves, they are ex

local media reports expect us special envoy amos hochstein to visit both israel and lebanon next weekras maksad. he's a senior director for strategic outreach at the middle east institute. good to have you with us. he's got quite a task ahead of him when he arrives in the region. what can he realistically expect to achieve?- what can he realistically exect to achieve? ~ . ., expect to achieve? the american osition expect to achieve? the american position has _ expect to achieve? the american position has been _ expect to achieve? the american position has been very _ expect to achieve? the american position has been very clear- position has been very clear and it's a red light as it pertains to israel broadening and launching an all—out war, all—out campaign in southern lebanon. the argument is being put forward by the ministration and i've heard it directly this week, to be put by them hochstein to visiting, can you achieve militarily what you have failed to achieve diplomatically? he has essentially negotiated a pre—deal between israel and hezbollah, that deal that involves hezbolla

largely involving their man in the region, hochstein who has been _ the region, hochstein who has beento get a resolution to the crisis on the israet— resolution to the crisis on the israel - — resolution to the crisis on the israel — lebanon border. but the americans have always seen the americans have always seen the key— the americans have always seen the key to— the americans have always seen the key to that is getting a cease—fire deal between israel and hamas in gaza. that effort is stalled — and hamas in gaza. that effort is stalled for that is making no progress at all. they are back — no progress at all. they are back into _ no progress at all. they are back into crisis management mode — back into crisis management mode and i think watching very closely— mode and i think watching very closely now his brother to what do next — closely now his brother to what do next. we had a briefing from the pentagon in which they were asked _ the pentagon in which they were asked if— the pentagon in which they were asked if us is moving any other military— asked if us is moving any other mil

attack each other more than the uh the same rules that uh "we are following both of us, but after hochstein visit to israel last monday, and he give the key coding and decoding of the rf system that hisbullah is using in lebanon, and with the help of, not only help, with the participation of the united states by sending the ec130c airplane, campus call, which can affect and destroy. all the peures and the tok in in lebanon, it did not work, it did not work because their plan was 4000 of the leaders at the front against israel will be killed by then, so it ends up that hizbullah foiled their target and still strong because israel after this criminal attack and terror attack. against the civilian by through the pages and so, they had in in mind to interven by land invasion to lebanon. this did not work and i think now the israelis after they received so many hit and hard hit by hizballah and we are talking about the musad intelligen depart intelligence department in tel aviv, we see that now... they are convinced about talking in seefire in lebanon and lebanon is still refusing that until unl

to separate the both sides from supporting each other in this battle. so i believe that's almost hochstein, the representative of united states in the middle east carried lots of threatening to the lebanese government and the lebanese resistance, either ordering them to giving them some orders either to do that, or so this all came, i believe from an american american british technology in the name the israelis and now we can see late in this afternoon the israelis have denied any involvement in this act and they they were not uh they were not involved in it and they didn't do it so what would they do that or say that so i believe this is the israelis and the americans and the british have all together have cooperated to do such massacre in lebanon but i believe that this is failed and they didn't achieve what they were targeting for, i believe that's the the people of of lebanon in the in the street are more supportive and more determined to support the the the resistance in lebanon standing behind the the leaderships of the resistance and they are willing to go into this war as long as i

just a day before the attack on hezbollah, the us special representative to lebanon, amos hochstein, warned benjamin netanyahu against unleashing a large-scale war in the region and now he has received it. kursk, bryansk, smolensk, belgorod and oryol regions. in the toropetsky district, near tver, a fire started after the fall of a drone, some residents were evacuated. and the message comes from the city of shibekino, belgorod region. ukrainian militants launched a drone. four people were injured on the bus. in the kursk region, our military struck a colony of ukrainian combat vehicles. as reported by telegram channels , two armored personnel carriers were destroyed: an american stryker , a polish wolverine. the ministry of defense also reports an ambush in another area, which was set up by our soldiers. a drone strike on an all-terrain vehicle with a crew when it was moving along the road. another attack on a truck with ammunition. and about the situation on the front line. zaporizhia region, the calculation of the complex. before the throw of our stormtroopers need to lay paths thr

hochstein made this clear to israeli officials, and that the u.s.ns committed to a diplomatic solution. that was yesterday. in those meetings. today, the fear of escalation, not alone. geoff: based on your reporting, my -- where might this lead? nick: some of the experts said they believe israel is trying to message, that israel is serious about northern israel, the residents who are no longer in their homes, hezbollah is overreaching, and that this was a message to accept the diplomatic terms that they've been trying to get them to accept, essentially moving hezbollah fighters about six miles away from the lebanon-israel border, behind the river. i hope in this analysis is that has blood does not want war. it cannot afford it politically in lebanon, and iran does not one has blood to go to war with israel, because has blood is iran's -- hezbollah is iran's best deterrent. but this is so embarrassing to hezbollah, this will cause an escalation. hezbollah has to respond in a violent way come in a different way than it has in the past, and that could

hochstein was in tel aviv the night that prime minister netanyahu added lebanon to the wargames.an: thank you very much. we will take a short break. around the world and across the u.k., you are watching bbc news. we were going to go to a break. just looking, he is in tel aviv, he has just started. >> the architect of this plan and other senior air force commanders in beirut. at the time of the strike, this hezbollah commanders were meeting to plan and october 7 style attack in northern israel to make sure that hezbollah cannot carry out such an attack and in order to enable all 60,000 israelis to safely return back to their homes in northern israel. we must act against the threat. this threat is just a few hundred meters away from the communities and families in northern israel. today, based on precise intelligence, we conducted extensive strikes against hezbollah targets in lebanon that posed an imminent threat. the idf strike 1003 targets until now including long-range cruise missiles, heavyweight rockets with000 kilo warheads. this is the same type of rocket that was used in

amos hochstein has done a tremendous job talking to both sides to get to a plan to see hezbollah moved back beyond the litani river river, implement resolution 1701 of what is set be calling for is an amino ceasefire. so that israelis could move back to their homes. and those in lebanon could also move back their homes in southern lebanon. that is the only way none of us want to see a wider escalation that leads to a regional the sectarian israeli official told cnn that the areola salts are only beginning the israeli military has not ruled out the possibility of a ground invasion that does not sound like things are heading in the right direction we've got ours now to act as an international community i would caution my israeli friends for many kind of ground invasion. >> we also have course, have been calling for that hostage deal in relation to gaza so a ceasefire in activity in gaza, this is not the time for a regional escalation and of course, we all recognize it's the rockets have been flying from hezbollah into israel since october the seventh. there is tremendous capability be a

such machines to cut the the coding and decoding of the of the rf and they never did, but let's see hochstein visit to israel, at the same time israel implemented so many, rf german system towers close to the border lebanese border and then we saw that the airplane i'm talking about the uh ec 130 c called compascal the american airplane flying over the lebanese shore uh didn't see it but we we can we uh we could detected by uh uh normally it was there so this this airplane it it works the the the same as the awax and they can uh help the israelis to detect all the rf machines, i'm talking about the pesers, beepers or the the icom v82, so this first let's see lebanese, they are i don't think if it's under the military equipments lebanon... does not have the right to import such machines from taiwan or japan, the american have some sanctions against any companies that... trade with lebanon, especially they will say that it it will go to hisbullah, so if this in this case if this machine is under civilian machine, we know that it's against the civilian and it is so, and they know so, but if it i

reluctant in, in world war, there is a diplomatic feed on the table that the american invo eva said hochstein has been working on for some time. has been the, has linked, any kind of the magic deed on the 11th and it started from to a d. at the end it says 5 d in the plaza. and the so it needs, especially so a prime minister has been reluctant to endorse. and as she's fine dean and the fact what's he wants is a separate deed on the lebanon. is there a right? so given vass, and given what you were saying about the hosting a deal, now we understand about the is riley these right. the chief of staff has told his troops to prepare to go in to elaborate on. so the tension goes up. does it look as though the hawk stain a do is dead or is this just possible the pressure? i think for them now it's part of the pressure, but i think there is going to be very difficult for these, for 80 or 40. so, you know, officials, the ones that have started this ones that have problem is that people that they're going to do all they can to data. and they certainly residents to the node of israel is going to be very

ceasefire are honest from the side of the biden administration, and they have, for example, blinken , hochsteind mcgurk, or for example , despite the fact that the americans have come many times to say that in the capacity of public talks, they say that sir, don't attack, this is the solution. do not solve this issue through diplomatic channels, they are attacking. of course we do we know how america is playing the game , it is creating a deceptive scenario and wants to appear as a hitman every time the zionist regime hits us , saying, stop now, send a message that i will do this. i will calm him down, i will kill this dog's collar, so to speak . it is done. these are very important lessons that we should know about the type of relations between the zionist regime and america. today, we have entered a stage where the zionist lobbies on j street, such as aipac or christians united for israel, have the first and last say in congress before that. the two currents that are active in the congress, the wilsonian current and the jacksonian current, which are two factions, one of which says, sir, we mu

against hisbullah take, and netanyahu said that it will take weeks and probably months, and then the hochstein told him, then how will you be returning the settlers to their homes, quote, mean their homes, because they are not their homes, if if you are going to engage in a war that would lead the to months of engagement and months of of confrontations, the hizbullah officials and the islamic resistance officials have been reiterating once once and again, even the secretary general of hisbullah sayid hasan nasrullah stated that if you want to try anything foolish in order to return these around 200 thousand displaced people from the north northern occupied palestine you have to prepare refugee camps for around million and this is a sort of threat that any such war against lebanon would lead. to around million people displaced in northern occupied palestine, so as i mentioned earlier, it is very delicate situation, very complicated situation, all the parties are are sort of avoiding an all out war, because they know the the repercussions and the outcome and the the damage will be major on both

there is a diplomatic view on the table that the american invo eva said hochstein has been working on for some time. has bella has linked any kind of the magic deed on the 11th and it started from to a d. c, 's 5 d in the clouds. and they, so it needs, especially, so a prime minister has been reluctant to endorse and as she's fine dean and the fact what he wants is a separate deal on the lebanon is read. right? so given vass and given what you were saying about the hosting a deal, now we understand about the is riley these right, the chief of staff has told his troops to prepare to go in to elaborate on. so the tension goes up. does he look as though the hawks being a do is dead, or is this just pos, are the pressure? i think for them now it's part of the pressure, but i think that is going to be very difficult for these for 8040. so, you know, officials, the ones that have started this ones that have from is the people that they're going to do. all they can to the, to. and they certainly it as events to the node of israel is going to be very hard for them to just stopped midway. and

diplomatic channels, stephen, for the past year, we have been pushing, i mean, you know, the us, amos hochsteinimes. the french have been coming to lebanon. i mean, we have been working every diplomatic channel to be able to get a resolution. unfortunately, the escalation and the intention to keep the war going, to execute, you know, israel's agenda didn't help. i mean, we have seen what happened in gaza. gaza is totalled to the ground, and nothing changed. and the discussions for a ceasefire even didn't get anywhere. we were next in line. lebanon was next in line. we knew this was coming. we knew the negotiations will be tough. but most importantly, stephen, i agree with you. we need, as a government — and our prime minister went yesterday to new york — we need, as a government, to push very hard in the big kitchen now, with all the cooks in new york, to stop this war and get to full compliance with 1701 despite what anybody else wants. i mean, it's a time where we need a patriotic decision. and i agree with you, our government needs to have a firm position... but... ..our prime minister in ne

and at a time when the zionists are taking action, for example, in these recent developments, alan hochstein as where is the representative of the united states of america now, why is he there? he did not mediate, because the cards will be turned. now, if lebanon's hezbollah manages to strike the islamist regime tomorrow, we will see that western diplomats will become very active. diplomats of the united states of america will become active. this shows that the united states of america in cooperation with the zionist regime from various sources in the military field, we are witnessing that in some way it is constantly feeding this regime and replenishing its tanks with military equipment in the operational field and helping in the command and operational discussion. in the field of war, in the field of intelligence the satellites of the united states of america and western countries are completely at the disposal of the zionist regime and they can help it in the field. even the information of the news sources that they have in the technological field , that is, all the discussions of cybersp

has an invoice, a most hochstein. he had apply and he was trying to work a plan, but it seems to be the problem with his plan is his bullet, those stages a said that the warning gauze must stop and nothing yahoo doesn't seem to show any appetite for the other plan. but the us of pushing that deal to try and get a cease fire. and garza definitely, i mean, at the position of most thought these are very, very far apart on one hand. and i'm not sure it has, but wants to keep the rules of engagement as was the bedding on october 6th before october 7. and is that i am is determined to change this. so a question to change this sort of engagement in order to ensure that he turn off for that as it does so also the notes. so the likelihood of and the problematic solution are not that ties especially nowadays. i mean however, that the option is that is on the but and with the consent of hesper law for the simple fact that the news government has stated loud and clear. and yesterday he confirmed that and they united nation before

we know that the bible administration has had its special envoy and most hochstein in the region speak to with is really officials trying to discourage an escalation . and the official line from the national security council spokesperson, john kirby, is that there is an effort to ensure that there is no further escalation. the policy of the white house is that the best way to resolve the escalation in the north of israel, as well as israel's war on garza is through diplomacy, and the united states is still committed to pursuing those outcomes. kimberly hill kit al jazeera, the white house to guys are now in heavy artillery. shelley is being reported northwest. the city of ross in the south is a 2 neighborhood southeast of guys. a city is also being targeted earlier, a 9 and his pregnant wife were killed in an is randy jones. right? that he think your body a refugee camp in northern garza and 9 was identified as massage shaheen, a member of the palestinian civil defense. on wednesday, 8 people were killed and that is really a tank on a scroll housing disgrace, palestinians in northern g

i was in the room earlier this week when amos hochstein, president biden�*s envoy to lebanon and israelthat israel will not be able to return some 60,000 residents of the north who have fled their homes through a devastating conflict that would only sort of visit further destruction on northern israel and also on southern lebanon, therefore making the case for the diplomatic track. i think it's also time for hezbollah to reconsider. hezbollah launched this conflict in october of... 0n the 8th of october in support of hamas in gaza. this operation has yielded very poor results for hamas and for hezbollah. we all know israel proceeded to dismantle hamas and destroy gaza. so it's very important for hezbollah at this point to take stock of its loss and not risk an all out war that could see it and also much of lebanon destroyed. and just quickly, how do you think hezbollah will respond? well, hezbollah is caught in a catch—22 situation, a policy dilemma, if i may. if it doesn't respond or if the response is deemed too weak, that will only invite israel and israeli prime minister bibi netany

but just a day before the attack on hezbollah, the us special representative in lebanon, amos hochsteinned the israeli authorities against unleashing a large-scale war in the region, and received an unambiguous answer. the head of the us foreign minister antony blinken, who just arrived in cairo to discuss the details of the peace plan , is now forced to comment. as for lebanon, the united states did not know about this and was in no way involved in these incidents, speaking about the situation in general, we made it clear about the importance of all parties avoiding steps aimed at escalating and spreading the conflict in the gaza strip, it is absolutely clear that it is in no one's interests for this to continue. logically blinkina turns out that no one was interested in such a complex and large-scale operation either, although perhaps he had a very specific interest in mind. i think that prime minister netanyahu does not want to give the democrats a chance to win, since he probably prefers trump as president. and a ceasefire that will be presented as a victory for the current administ

the us special envoy almost hochstein, has visited the region several times in recent months. but while the white house talks about easing tensions, it is also reaffirming its support for its ally. you're not to say, didn't put any pressure on this right? because only verbally is where i can easily ignore advisory. so even threats as long as the company to buy deeds were leaders, have called for an end to the conflict, but after almost a year of war on gaza, increasing violence and occupied westbank. and despite the threat of retaliation for the run, as real strategy seems to be to flight on rather than de escalate as an gaza, it civilians and 11 on who are paying the highest price. pretty car, which is 0 for inside story the. well, let's bring, you know, a panel of guests today, all of whom have extensive knowledge about israel, lebanon, and palestine. and joining us from a root aim and my honda executive director of the severe casea foundation and organization, the advocates for media freedom and democracy in lebanon and paris cream mark d. c. and associate professor the ame

i was in the room last week when i'm of hochstein, a president, biden's and boy on this very issue was having arguments and making the case against israel brought in this war. and i think the fact that he had to travel to israel earlier this week, and that this attack literally came on the heels of him. the party of 6 volumes of the kind of daylight that we're seeing today between the american position. and he is really position i'm on it's not uncommon, is it for the israeli government to carry out considerable attacks, whether it's in gaza, whether it's 11 on elsewhere in the beach and just off the american officials leave as well after a visit, we've seen this time and time again, given everything that for the us has said about, has bowlers capability being probably the strongest non state act in the world? do you believe that israel does want more was hezbollah and how did people 11 on feet of anxious i cannot speak for what the through the government wants, but it's very clear that the current situation, the current status go, is not sustainable for any of the actors involved in t

a most hochstein, the us special envoy, meeting with the top is really officials, the president, the prime minister, and the defense minister saying look, it, we're seeing the escalations, we're seeing your war preparations. and we don't want to see the spiral further in the north. and yet that's exactly what has happened. the 2nd thing that's a big problem 0 before you jump in, is that obviously this is throwing water on another big effort that into the blanket isn't the region for right now. his 10th trip to try and get a cease fire and gaza and obviously time is ticking for joe biden, who's term is soon to come to an end. and he's trying very quickly to, to, to wrap this up. and, and the latest proposal is a 6 week deal, and this is only going to make it harder to try and achieve that. kimberly, one of the major questions that's directed in has been directed to us since yesterday becomes even more relevant today is how much knowledge they had if any of these attacks and of israel's plans. yesterday i remember hearing the state department spokesperson saying that we knew nothing. u

joining us now is amos hochstein, the senior adviser to president biden for energy and investment goodalk about energy prices first. the good news is, you know if you thought going to get a gallon of gasoline and seeing those signs on the corner all over the country that was a sort of sign of inflation and where things are, the good news is that's down. the question is why you think it's down and as down as much as it is. >> well, first, good morning, andrew good to see you, and to be here. the oil prices are obviously down as you said quite a bit we're now down to almost $70 on brent and below $70 on wti here in the united states and gasoline prices are down, 60 cents below where it was a year ago. we're doing the oil prices are coming down despite the fact that we have these tensions in the middle east, and tensions between russia and ukraine are still -- that war is still going on both are big oil producing regions and despite that oil price coming down, they're coming down because of two reasons. one, despite the opec cuts, production of the united states and production in a few ot
