we discussed the very latest developments with all these middle east view issues more if in motion and as well, ramada vice does have a home. and as you and on seen course for the awesome i can 11 on the idea is currently caring outs of some military surveillance within the region, particularly using munitions illuminating the dark night sky, essentially looking for any ground incursions that may occur. this comes at a time when over the past 2, almost 3 weeks, and the clash has not been intensifying between has the law and the is really army . and for the most part, it seems that the visible side has been acquired for about the last 20 for 30 hours until the late afternoon on friday when they carried out the strikes. but this time around decided to use guided missiles and targeting the is rarely side. we do know that the clashes on both sides are in an attempt to blind to the other side is below, has been carrying out, strikes targeting communications, as well as surveillance towers to ensure that israel has a blind eye to the south of living on the same way the idea of has been carry

this is a war on the free world that is supposed to live to our middle east view, a chief maria, for the notion that maria the see. now such a strong statement from the is very invalid. so the un, what else did he say? yes, indeed. these railey ambassador to be un getting a very emotional speech evolved on his country and his citizens have been frozen saturday morning after a surprise attacked by her most militant groups when 1st thousands of ro, kids had been biased to these really southern communities, as well as the central part of the country and then the militants, all my stuff is really considered a terrorist organization and a big number of do supplementals and is really towns at the founder with guys the class with these really military killed. the idea of soldiers and officers killed civilians as well and took civilian hostages, including women and children, being massive and dis, private as unprecedented to the attacks the militants behavior as barbaric rufe lists. and they act as more crimes and genocide. ambassador, also compared to mass with, i'm tired to and so forth, i

our middle east view or chief maria phenomena told the program more earlier. a pasta. yes, another a security cabinet to maintain with these really prime minister in the country stall, put intelligence, military and security officials participating. these real has now officially declared a state of war. all experts point out that it was lost to use back in 1973. when israel was simple tenants, they attacked by syrians and egypt space. cuz that means that now these really army has complete freedom of action and it could act independently. however, it is obliged to report to the political leadership, so it is now official, but i have to tell you that we haven't here in about the we're that the israel is currently at since 1st hours. all time also is offensive on saturday. this is what spend a minute then. yeah, home has said earlier, let's take a listen. here's what i saw here and we are in bucking on aluminum difficult war. the world was forced upon us. planned load was attacked by from us, from the 1st phase, ends in these hours by destroying the most of the enemy forc

, we are you know, and they want to show something in the middle east and to rearrange the middle east once and for all from their point of view, to put israel as the master in the whole middle east, and this is the plan from their point of view, but would that be successful or not? i don't think so, because you have also jordan, you have lebanon, you have people are not going to to be silent according to to when it comes to this concern, so i believe that would be at the battle of the middle east. all right, so so mean, freeman, our guess there talks about the us plans along with israel, but at the end says that that's not going to work out really, because not work out, but it's it's end up in a defeat, i'm sure the us has and israel have uh and their um ministers of military affairs have uh painted all the different scenarios and if it ends up in defeat then why partake in it, but then the question comes about that there's no turning back for israel on this matter, so is the only option left for a military one uh which will engage the region into a all-lot war? well, i think military option has been the only thing left to im

netanyahu talks about changing the middle east forever. but in your view long—term peace and security now? i'm not against changing the middle east forever in the right direction. there might be a dispute about what the right direction looks like. but at least the first step are fully agreed among israel — they need to destroy. it's not taking revenge, just to make this behaviour erased and eliminated from the region. for sure, from israel. i do not swear that our experience with hamas will cancel the possibility of emergence of such daesh—like, or nazi—like if you want, behaviour on our part or other part of the world. but we cannot accept it in our neighbourhood. so basically we agree on what has to be done now. we have to kind of paralyse any possibility of hamas, the terror, murderous, barbarian organisation, to stand once again. and this is it. now, even the military — before we go to the political vision for the long—term — even the military part of it might not end in gaza. even during an incursion into gaza, if it happens, or even without incursion

middle east. many experts view this as pressure on congress, from which the white house wants to beg for a recordllion at once for military support for kiev and tel aviv. it is clear that under no circumstances will nato turn its back on israel. english prime minister riche sunok, who flew to tel aviv today, followed his older american brother, hastened to convince us of this. we absolutely support israel's rights. protect yourself according to international law, pursue hamas, return hostages, deter further incursions and strengthen your security in the long term. watching how the world is splitting up before our eyes, western countries nevertheless act rather in the usual role of a kachigar throwing coal into the firebox. our state duma, meanwhile, today adopted an appeal to the un calling on us to immediately do everything possible to stop the bloodshed and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. the tragedy that unfolded nearby: the east, when civilians die, old people, children, women, there is a culprit , we have already talked about this, but today this is our official position, the culprit in

is global outraged at the ongoing violence in the middle east for a long dr. joint view, a rush or a resolution of the un security council for a cause a cease fire was opposed by france, japan, britain, in the usa. the u. e. of course is also the center of world attention because of next month's comp 28 climate conference with geo political. ria configurations. as regards global energy markets will play a key role in attenuating any response to man made.

attack or illegal one, it's israel represents it is us, it is our icon of the west in the middle east, so they don't viewr favor, give it up, of course there is also there are other factors including prejudice, including the exist of zionist lobbies here and there, including also the rise of of influence of design loby in the media and so on, so generally there is tendency in the west to support israel, whether it commits right or wrong action, and i hope one day they will realize that they are betting a losing horse, israel is not a losing, is not a winning horse, because it has committed so much crimes that i do not think any sensible government can defend what it has been committing, so i i i hope that there will be some wisdom prevailing among the equilons of power in the western capitals. okay, again, if i can get those live images back up. because we uh had some live images again from gaza uh that of course we just witness another explosion and more smoke uh going up and this has been really happening throughout the night and of course during today. i'm going to cross back over to remalla and uh ta

the main topic of what will happen now will be , accordingly, the situation in the middle east, from this point of viewe, the visits of a number of representatives who in fact, they seem to be very... important from the point of view of making these decisions, for example, there will be an example of pakistan that is kind of new, there in pakistan there are certain difficulties, of a real nature, i remind you that in fact, one of the main investors in the economy of arab countries is china , accordingly it has colossal contracts with saudi arabia for huawei, huawei generally deploys networks there, by the way, huawei is under sanctions, accordingly, chips are prohibited for them, they first created, firstly the second ones invest accordingly, by the way, from the point of view of the main investor, china is the most important, so from this point of view, of course, this is very important, the united arab states, respectively, most of the supplies come from qatar , therefore, from this point of view, china actually has very serious positions in the middle east, at one time , accordingly, the level of th

middle east. >> laura: their views always aligned with some of the core tenants of hamas. >> what is the black livesatter movement have to do with palestine? a lot of people ask that. a lot of black people ask that. we have to be apart of palestinian solidarity and palestine is our generation in south africa. >> laura: okay. and yet ceo after ceo lined up to support blm. students across america remember they were all pushed to post in solidarity with black lives matter not knowing what they're supporting. i know what you're thinking, maybe this isn't fair. maybe patrice is an outlier. >> there's lots of common cause between african americans and palestinians and that's not a new relationship. that's a relationship that has been forged over decades. as a result of very similar feeling conditions that folks are existing in. system of articulation >> laura: okay, she has a point about this has been going on for some time. maybe we should think, okay, being pro palestine, it certainly doesn't mean they are anti-semitic. or is that wrong? >> it's so important, i believe, in our current generation of move

middle east. many experts view this as pressure on congress, from which the white house wants to beg for a record for kiev and tel aviv. it is curious, of course, how congress will react to this, whose building was broken into the day before by precisely those who want peace in the middle east, and, characteristically, jews. activists in t-shirts with slogans not in our name and jews say: cease fire. immediately held a rally in the building, and then they were tied up police. no matter how much money congress ultimately allocates to strengthen tsahal’s combat power, it is clear that nato will under no circumstances turn its back on israel, as british prime minister rishi sunak, who flew to tel aviv today following his older american brother, hastened to convince. we absolutely support israel's right to defend itself in accordance with international law, pursue hamas, return hostages, deter further incursions in the long term and enhance your security. no sooner said than done. here's boeing the us air force is delivering armored cars to bengurion airport to replace those burned by hamas. and agai

the overall situation in the middle east is likely to dominate somebody to view repeating union latest that's stopping in brussels lights that you have said it stands installed of diversity with israel after the deadly tenor attached by a mouse. but different messaging by member states has come at the expense of a united in your response observer sites. also hosting the blocks credibility within the hour of weld the street of a coincidence divided for weeks people have been showing up across europe to express outrage about events in the middle east. the corridors of power have been divided to, with your opinion, struggling to speak with one voice called a or 3 cd cartoon for to a mass receive media and people is a gauge international. we are friends of israel and when a friend is under attack, we have to stand together. of course, this is a time for us in spite, this is a time to stop this volume and is rude kind of to be no secure to, you know police. when you say you through the past 10 years of terrorism continues like this. if i talk with steve adds to the mix of commissioners sayi

of interconfessional interreligious peace, the attitude towards the situation in the middle east from the point of viewthe unity of the peoples of russia and after this meeting, in fact, there were a lot of important, correct changes in the heads, in just a lot of important changes in the heads of people who were somehow determined negatively towards the jewish community, in general, points of tension have begun to subside, alexander moiseevich, how closely the jewish communities in russia today monitor the situation in israel. gas sector, as do you interact, maybe provide some help? of course, of course, we are monitoring actively, very actively , well, almost every russian citizen in the community has relatives, friends, acquaintances in israel, and many just russians went on vacation and made many friends, of course, this is very exciting, even regardless of this... what is happening in israel, especially the events of october 7, 7, is, well, a massacre, there is no other word for it, it causes, well, a feeling of grief, horror and tragedy, what happened, everything that happens next, everything is

so they will have to... prioritize, by the way, tell me about the situation in the middle east from the point of view of radio electronic security, how do you think it was possible to overcome all these, i would say complex, security structures between the gaza strip and israel, and literally pass through that security fence, which has always been considered almost there as an ideal electronic such weapon against possible infiltrations of hamas militants into the israeli state. i think that israel did not expect such a thing for itself, and in fact, with on the part of israel there were, well, big mistakes in that it was so easy for them to succumb to these attacks so easily, in fact, israel still has room to develop in the direction of radio-electronic warfare, please tell me, in principle, if... to speak about electronic warfare, how confident are we now that this upcoming winter period will not be critical for ukrainian infrastructure, precisely from the point of view of the fact that we will be able to respond more effectively to those attacks that russia is obviously planning, well if talk direc

imagine happened these days, there has not been a more brutal, human view of everything that is happening in the history of the middle easthe consequences that all this will lead to. and then a very important one arises, if you want, a sacred question, where is the truth in general, who is here for the truth today, who is for this atrocity... to continue, yes, to say right away that you know, it’s really pointless to measure atrocity now, but to say these more, they are acting unfairly and bloodily , and these have less, these have more truth, and these have less, a war, especially like this, it does not allow, in these moral, ethical categories , to measure all this, although right now palestine is causing pity due to the fact that israel was attacked by terrorists and ...this act of terrorism was condemned absolutely everything, and palestine is now being attacked by a legitimate state with the support of the entire civilized world? i’m just talking about the civilized world, you know, not everything is so simple here, because if, if it were possible to really solve the war, and to solve, or rather, this problem in gene

the front pages of the world press today are occupied with the middle east conflict, all covers from one angle - a view of the gas sector at night. the night before , the idf said that israeli forces were expanding the scale of the ground operation in the gaza strip. according to hamas, the enclave is under attack from land, sea and air. overnight, the israeli army struck 150 underground targets in the northern gaza strip, including tunnels and other underground infrastructure. how many people killed and wounded as a result of large-scale bombing is unknown. the enclave is completely cut off from the outside world. internet and telephone connections disappeared the day before. the only remedy. and now they are mosques with loudspeakers. we have no communication with the outside world, they use their military power to harm us. we have no power but the power of god, no one but god. please pray for us. the head of vos said that communication with employees, medical institutions and partners in gas was completely lost. according to palestinian wafa news agency in the absence of emergency communications fro

middle east. i think they view that as within their interests and i think they correctly think that it will take the eye off the ball from the indopacific, which is their area of primary concern. >> neil: governor, you gotten some criticism to ban pro palestinian groups from florida colleges. some are saying you're violating free speech rights. you've stuck to that proposed ban that others are saying is illegal. what do you say? >> well, it's not just pro palestinian groups. students for justice in palestine, when the hamas attacks were perpetrated, they put out a statement saying we don't merely stand in solidarity with what happened, we're a part of this. so they have linked themselves to hamas in a way that takes them out of first amendment activity and it's effectively material support for terrorism when you link with a terrorism group. so that was really jarring to see in our own country. because we can look at the radicalism on college campuses. i joke. i'm one of the few guys that got through yale and harvard and came out more conservative than when i went in. that's not easy to do. i look ba

seriously than, as it turned out, was justified facts, but what is happening now in the middle east, from my point of viewt can happen next, what can happen next, can grow even from a human tragedy into a very serious geopolitical crisis, until, as it seems to me, fortunately, this matter has not come to this, i want to say from the very beginning that in my opinion it is impossible, not a single person who saw that... hamas, it seems to me, it is impossible for one person to even try to justify this by some circumstances of the palestinians, and their claims, real , some of them were not entirely real, but under all conditions, no matter what was or wasn’t there, what hamas did was the most disgusting crime, from my point of view in view, what was done... hamas deprives this organization of the right to exist, everything that israel does in this regard is legitimate self-defense. on the other hand, i also believe that - as previous palestinian claims cannot justify what hamas did. what hamas did cannot justify the mounting casualties among them. civilian population, to be fair - this is one of those situ

that control. uh, i saw you shaking your head there, go ahead. um, i, i take a different view, i think the middle east is still one of the most strategic areas for the united states, as an imperialist power, and to say that it is no longer important, i think overstates the case, it's true, obviously, the european arena, ukraine, the challenge of china and russia, are are. important issues, strategic issues for the for the us empire, but the middle east remains an anchor, whether it's to do with oil, whether it's to do as as a bridge to europe, it's location in the entire, if you just look at the world map, you're talking about the arab and islamic countries stretching from algeria to to iran and turkey and afghanistan, pakistan. "i think this is area of absolutely strategic importance, and the united states, it's true, are frightened of leban of the lebanese resistance, are frightened. the power of iran are frightened of the general resistance forces stretching from yemen to syria through iraq and so on and obviously the palestinian palestinian resistance, this is a formidable power, but the united st

next one, now we're talking about in the middle east, we will still have the opportunity to talk about the new speaker of the house of representatives, about his viewssrael and hamas, between israel and iran, between iran and the united states, and in biblical terms, this discussion was opened by netanyahu, let's listen to what he said. our war has two goals - to destroy hamas, destroying its military and regime potential and to return the abducted people home. we are pouring hellfire on hamas. we have already eliminated thousands of terrorists, and this is just the beginning. at the same time, we are preparing for ground operations. i will not specify when, how or where, or talk about other considerations we take into account, the vast majority of which are unknown to the public. our war with hamas is a test for all humanity. this is a struggle between the axis of evil iran, hezbollah, hamas. the axis of freedom and progress, we are children of light, they are children of darkness, light will overcome darkness. the october 7 failure will be fully investigated. everyone will have to answer, and so will i, but all this will happen only after the end

control. uh, i saw you shaking your head there, samtani, go ahead. um, i, i take a different view, i think the middle east is still one of the most strategic areas for the united states as an imperialist power, and to say that it is no longer important, i think overstates the case, it's true, obviously the european arena, ukraine, the challenge of china and russia, are are important issues, strategic. issues for the for the us empire, but the middle east remains an anchor, whether it's to do with oil, whether it's to do as as a bridge to europe, it's location in the entire, if you just look at the world map, you're talking about the arab and islamic countries stretching from algeria to to iran and turkey and afghanistan, pakistan, i think this is an area of absolutely strategic importance, and the united states, it's true, are frightened of leban of the labanese resistance, are frightened of the power of. iran are frightened of the general resistance forces stretching from yemen to syria through iraq and so on and obviously the palestinian palestinian resistance, this is a formidable power, but the united

as for how -- what's going on in the middle east will affect our view of the security environment on the peninsula, or anywhere else in the world. we are a big enough, strong enough nation. we have global responsibilities to look after our national security interests anywhere and everywhere. we are still also supporting ukraine in their i fight against russia. we are still doing amazing amount of work in the indo-pacific to shore up our alliances and partnerships and try to increase stability, security, and prosperity throughout the region. we are not worried about our ability to do all those things. reporter: of the $6 billion, are you saying that policy hasn't actually changed in any way or you aren't willing to talk about changes that may have happened? the other question is, on morning edition we have coming on an american citizen living in gaza in the united states doing anything to help american citizens who are trapped in gaza if they want to get back to the us us? john: palestinian. the first and most important thing we are trying to do is as i mentioned yesterday allow for s
