i don't think israel has currently lose any interest in staying in south lebanon permanently. establishing any kind of permanent political military position. don't forget israel is deployed in god, so israel is deployed inside syria beyond the 1974 armistice lines is really military is also policing on most of the west bank. i. so there's absolutely no military justification or for that matter of the resources necessary to stay in southern land and what your, what was said previously, that according to the november agreements, the lebanese army needs to a service already informed she's by law. so moving down south that hasn't been completed, so i think is your staying on those 5 hilltops as a precaution? not as something with any of the longevity to it. do you see the same sort of thing? rami a sort of a, a tactical temporary move by these riley's, partly, but not fully. i disagree with the, there's the bank has, because, uh, i think there is no, i, i agree that as you may not want to program for the, occupies south lebanon. but israel does want to make sure that it's priority is it's pers

it is therefore evident that south african arms sold to these countries are transferred onwards to israel and are used to kill palestinians in gaza. this happens because south africa does not have the requisite prevention mechanisms. yes, it says that the europe refuses to inspect weapons shipments, enabling the final destination of the export at arms to be kept under wraps. it's now demanding an investigation new to the countries as control procedures. for more than 20 years, south africa has suspended the weapons expos to israel. and 2 years ago, the government filed charges with international court of justice, accusing israel of committing genocide and gaza. we spoke with a south african m p from the economic freedom fighters party who says the mechanism for weapons controls needs to be modernized. a large amount of weapons had been sold to countries that uh, the largest arms homes export is to ease or the concern that we have is that because the national in a c, c has not been dealing with this issue properly. it does also not be able to go through the inc user certificates for those

i suppose of, of the south african israel relationship kind of at the height of a pot to this is from a 1976. they really need stuff quite desperately. so they've purchased a 6130 millimeter munition systems from israel, for 2700000 round israel in general with a huge supplier of munitions. so the a potted states, an additional option has been obtained for the purchase of $14000.00 white fos for shells from the mid 19 seventy's. so that africa was, it was trying to talk to the left wing government as a nearly independent angola. in 1976. so they're freaking 5 minutes to join voice the visited israel, made speculation. the countries were working on the steel. if you look at the amounts of weapons being bought around the 1000000000 us dollars from the seventy's . since the eighty's by the a potted states, actually credible inflows of money and somebody is really economy just when they need it. and so just from a demand perspective, that's an important relationship. but then of course, there's the secondary benefit to both states, which is the kind of co creation of weapons technology. s

thousands of palestinians have been returning to northern gaza after israel withdrew its troops from the netzarim around 700,000 people fled south before israel's ground the bbc, along with other international broadcasters, report from jerusalem. the netzarim corridor, that divides gaza in once they get there, it's a case of picking of the biggest bombing campaigns in military history. the rockets and strikes. they've deprived us of food and water, but they have not determined to rebuild his life in the ruins of the north. but the ceasefire that allows this is fragile. a continuation of the truce. jails under the deal. progress will count for little. the israeli military have shot dead two palestinian women, one of whom was pregnant, in the occupied west bank, israeli troops said their forces were scanning the incident. israel has increased its military operations and the town of tulkarm. israeli military campaign. details are still sketchy but important to emphasise despite all the on that despite all the focus on gaza and the ceasefire in gaza, gaza and the ceasefire in gaza. has stepped up israel has stepped up quite its mili

it is therefore evident that south african arms sold to these countries are transferred onwards to israel and are used to kill palestinians in gaza. this happens because south africa does not have the requisite prevention mechanisms for the e. f. f also claims that europe is refusing to inspect the weapons of shipments, which allows the final destination of the export at arms to be hit in. it's demanding an investigation of the committee responsible for controlling arms. the south african band has been in place since the government filed charges for the international court of justice accusing israel of committing genocide in gaza. all right, let's cross it now to karl in the house to the south african m p from the economic freedom fighters a party. carl, thank you for joining us on the program today. the f f is making serious claims about western countries and the lack of data about end users of weapons from south africa. can you tell us more about the accusations and the significance if these actions indeed are true? good day and thank you for having me. ready and as you indicated in you

south of tel aviv. this is in the central area of israel. there are no casualties reported, but a light trail of bus traffic has stopped in that area. and the police are screening buses for possibly more explosives. there are suspicions of this is a an attack, but there and nobody has been apprehended. although the police chief says that there is a search for suspect, but for now, no casualties are reported. although the explosions and the aftermath of that the screening, the stopping of traffic, of course, has caused a lot of confusion and a lot of anxiety for the residents. okay, and then where we'll leave it that now will of course return to you as soon as you have any more information on this. just to remind you of that breaking news police and as well as been responding to reports, bus explosions, south of tel aviv, but they've been not no casualties. we understand so nor keeping us across that. let's go back to our tops story ukraine we've been hearing from the us national security adviser, mike waltz. he's been talking about the lates

it cited south africa's quote, aggressive position against israel at the i. c j accusing the national yahoo government, but not from boss of genocide. that's not quite fake news. it's just actually misleading. because that court only has jurisdiction over states. it has no power to issue rulings against a political organization. like some of the parts, the executive order left out of africa is a member of breaks to the growing into a government mental economic alliance that offers itself as an alternative to the g . 7 block led by the us with talk of trade wars in and on the air. the trump administration has chosen this moment to send a message to bricks the smallest and economically weakest member states. just looking at the traditional parts of bricks, brazil, russia, india, china, from sides of economy and, and all of that. so that, that doesn't really belong thanks. but the bricks partners recognize that it was important to have it represented to because the roof can be found on the african continent to saw that they could be contained as strategic editio

much of it is directed towards israel and how much of the hey, group is directed towards the preservation of international law. because as we were talking about before, south africa has played a significant role in terms of bringing action against israel. but there are also, it has also given rise to the possible future of the respective international law. well, look around the it over a king thrust the life new dose, the hate girl is as a result of the noncompliance to the provisional measures by the ice j. so remember up the ice and g spot, the one organization that the issue advisory opinion a by to of see note in fact, we approach the court on 3 occasions. december 20, 23, february 2024. march 2020. uh, full and consistently, um is that i or uh, you know, was just not that the adding to any of the pro vision pro vision on measures of the code. the question then comes up of all things being equal. look at the work, the decisions of dicey jake, what else can be done, and that's why this is a, a constellation of states that upset. we invo outright in terms of international law to enforce the global accountability as it regards to the clinic of the state o
