[00:00:00] or perhaps decades away from that issue. Thank you very much, Mr.
[00:00:04] Omani. We will take a short break. We will watch section 23 and 30
[00:00:08] together, this news section, and we will return with issues of
[00:00:11] Palestine and also Lebanon with you, dear viewers and our guest.
[00:00:15] We will be.
[00:00:26] In the name of God, hello. The Zionist regime, in continuation
[00:00:30] of its aggressions on Lebanese soil, targeted the suburbs of the city of Nabatiyeh
[00:00:34] in the south of this country. The warplanes of the
[00:00:37] Zionist regime bombed the town of Mansouri twice. The heights of
[00:00:41] Ali Taher and the towns of
[00:00:45] Bani Hiyan and Qantara in southern Lebanon
[00:00:48] were also targeted by an aerial attack by the Zionist occupiers.
[00:00:51] The occupying army also carried out 3 attacks on the town of
[00:00:55] Nabatiyeh Fouqa in southern Lebanon.
[00:00:57] The head of the Supreme Political Council of
[00:01:00] Yemen said: Just as the people of Yemen were liberated from foreign
[00:01:04] tutelage and domination with their revolution,
[00:01:08] they will not retreat from the path of achieving their rights.
[00:01:11] Mahdi Mashat, while praising the operations of the
[00:01:15] Yemeni armed forces in liberating the western coast of this country,
[00:01:19] said: According to the order of the Yemeni leader, to end the
[00:01:23] aggression and Saudi blockade,
[00:01:25] we will reopen the airport and ports
[00:01:28] and restore Yemen's national wealth.
[00:01:32] The head of the Supreme Political Council of Yemen stated that navigation
[00:01:36] in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb is safe
[00:01:39] for other countries except Saudi Arabia, and Yemen's
[00:01:42] strategic choice is peace, which has the least cost.
[00:01:45] He emphasized that Yemen stands with the people of Iran
[00:01:49] and their Islamic system and supports Islamic resistance in Lebanon,
[00:01:52] Palestine, and all other fronts of the axis of resistance.
[00:01:56] He supports. Iraq.
[00:01:59] The trial of 6 French nationals accused
[00:02:03] of membership in ISIS has begun. According to the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council,
[00:02:06] if the charges are proven,
[00:02:09] these defendants may face the death penalty.
[00:02:12] These six people were among 47 French prisoners who were members
[00:02:16] of ISIS who were transferred last year from prisons in
[00:02:19] northeastern Syria to Iraq.
[00:02:23] This action was taken following concerns about
[00:02:26] the security of prisoner detention centers in northeastern Syria.
[00:02:29] Previously, the Iraqi Foreign Minister had said that
[00:02:33] Baghdad was negotiating with other countries
[00:02:36] about the repatriation of their nationals.
[00:02:39] Fuad Hussein also called for financial support
[00:02:42] from the international community for the prisoners who had been transferred
[00:02:46] from Syria to Iraq. Russia says that despite
[00:02:50] widespread drone
[00:02:53] attacks aimed at undermining the elections,
[00:02:56] voter turnout has increased. Tas news agency reported that the voter
[00:03:00] turnout in the elections for the ninth term of the Russian Duma
[00:03:04] reached 52.5%, which is higher than the turnout
[00:03:07] in the elections five years ago. This increase in turnout
[00:03:11] comes as the Russian elections were held under widespread
[00:03:14] drone and missile attacks from Ukraine. Moscow announced that in the
[00:03:18] past 24 hours, it has intercepted 1951 drones
[00:03:21] and 8 long-range cruise missiles. Good evening.
[00:03:24] The Hamas movement announced in a statement
[00:03:27] that the martyrdom operation that took place today
[00:03:31] in Ramallah was a response
[00:03:34] to Netanyahu's insulting and offensive
[00:03:51] actions in Al-Aqsa Mosque. The martyrdom operation of
[00:03:54] a young Palestinian in Ramallah
[00:03:57] and the shooting at Zionist settlers.
[00:04:00] The Arabic news media Al-Quds announced that the name of the perpetrator
[00:04:03] of the martyrdom operation
[00:04:07] is Qadri Mohammad. A young Palestinian from
[00:04:10] one of the towns north-west
[00:04:12] of occupied Jerusalem.
[00:04:15] Qadri Mohammad today in an armed martyrdom
[00:04:19] operation in Ramallah from this red car
[00:04:23] and with this weapon shot at the Zionist
[00:04:26] settlers and, according to the Arab news media,
[00:04:30] killed one Zionist settler. Qadri Mohammad, after shooting,
[00:04:33] went on foot to the surrounding villages. Helicopters
[00:04:37] and drones of the Zionist regime flew
[00:04:40] to find the shooter. With the security
[00:04:44] rings that the Israelis have created around
[00:04:48] the city of Ramallah and its surrounding
[00:04:51] villages. He was also arrested.
[00:04:54] According to the Shahab News Agency, a number of Zionist settlers
[00:04:58] were injured in this operation,
[00:05:04] and the condition of one of them is reported to be critical.
[00:05:07] The Zionist regime has closed many of the roads leading to Ramallah,
[00:05:11] increased checkpoints, and is severely controlling
[00:05:15] the movement of Palestinians. The deployment
[00:05:18] of the military forces of the Zionist regime
[00:05:21] in the West Bank has reached its peak.
[00:05:25] Before this operation and since October 7,
[00:05:28] the number of military forces in the West Bank
[00:05:31] has reached 27 battalions, which is an unprecedented
[00:05:35] number. They have used today's operation
[00:05:38] as an excuse to increase checkpoints and close
[00:05:42] many roads and communication routes in Ramallah
[00:05:46] and Jerusalem, and severe measures are being taken
[00:05:49] against Palestinians. For Palestinians,
[00:05:53] everything is summarized in resistance.
[00:05:57] It was almost two months ago that a young Palestinian
[00:06:00] killed a Zionist and wounded several
[00:06:04] others in another martyrdom operation. The army radio
[00:06:07] of the Zionist regime announced that it has deployed
[00:06:11] 27 battalions of its forces in the West Bank.
[00:06:14] However, despite this, today's and past martyrdom
[00:06:18] operations have proven that the internal security
[00:06:21] of this regime faces serious vulnerabilities. Sanato Kahani,
[00:06:24] IRIB News Agency. Yes, the deployment
[00:06:28] of 27 battalions of Zionist soldiers
[00:06:31] in various parts of the West Bank,
[00:06:35] along with armed settlers, has still not been able to
[00:06:38] bring them security. Mr. Omani,
[00:06:41] why, with this extensive volume of attacks
[00:06:45] that we witnessed after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
[00:06:49] since October 7, 2023, those heinous crimes that
[00:06:52] they committed in Gaza and on this side
[00:06:56] in the West Bank, where a large number of Palestinians
[00:07:00] were martyred, we are still witnessing
[00:07:03] both martyrdom operations and the resistance
[00:07:07] of the people in the West Bank, which shows that Palestinians
[00:07:10] still choose resistance against the Zionist regime.
[00:07:14] Yes,
[00:07:16] look,
[00:07:18] for almost more than a year, Netanyahu
[00:07:22] has been trying to address the issue
[00:07:25] of the Arab people
[00:07:28] and Palestinians in Ramallah,
[00:07:31] in areas that were supposed to be the center
[00:07:34] of the Palestinian state, as a two-state
[00:07:38] solution. And
[00:07:41] there were many agreements and much
[00:07:45] traffic. Netanyahu moved in this direction
[00:07:48] and said that the two-state solution is impossible,
[00:07:51] and he actually tried
[00:07:54] to overcome this stage. Well, this issue
[00:07:58] has, first of all, caused the entire discussion
[00:08:01] of the Palestinian Authority to be questioned, and the people
[00:08:05] who lived in these areas
[00:08:09] and imagined that they were under
[00:08:12] Palestinian rule, not
[00:08:16] Zionist rule, are now in a state of
[00:08:20] shock and bewilderment that after all these
[00:08:24] different conferences
[00:08:27] and talks, from Camp David
[00:08:31] to Oslo to Madrid,
[00:08:34] all of which were supposed to be a two-state
[00:08:37] solution, they suddenly want to
[00:08:41] put an end to this. Well, before that, Palestinians
[00:08:44] in those areas were taking actions
[00:08:48] against Israelis, many of which were personal,
[00:08:51] due to the oppression and tyranny
[00:08:55] committed by the Zionist regime.
[00:08:58] And that person would resort to action
[00:09:02] for this purpose, either grabbing a knife
[00:09:05] and attacking, or hitting with a car
[00:09:08] and attacking Zionists and their gatherings.
[00:09:13] Or he would take a weapon from an Israeli soldier
[00:09:16] and kill him, or he would acquire a weapon
[00:09:20] and use these methods, all of which are martyrdom-seeking,
[00:09:23] Mr. Azimzadeh. This person who does this
[00:09:26] definitely knows that
[00:09:30] they will not leave him alone, or he will be executed on the spot,
[00:09:34] because even in Israel itself, execution is not legal.
[00:09:37] Now, their method is that they execute all
[00:09:40] of these Palestinians on the spot if they see even the slightest
[00:09:44] thing. Many scenes have been filmed. This is a
[00:09:48] very great injustice, but all of this again
[00:09:51] shows that the people of Palestine,
[00:09:55] whether they are inside the West Bank or in Gaza
[00:09:59] or anywhere else, will not abandon their ideals.
[00:10:02] This was a false notion that the Israelis
[00:10:06] and those early Zionists who came imagined
[00:10:09] that they could ignore a nation through
[00:10:12] oppression, tyranny, and occupation. All
[00:10:15] of these are signs that Palestine is alive. Palestine
[00:10:19] has not disappeared. Palestine continues to resist.
[00:10:22] And generation after
[00:10:26] generation are being educated
[00:10:29] based on resistance, not
[00:10:32] on compromise. What we see
[00:10:36] is a symbol of this anti-tyranny
[00:10:39] that the people of Palestine have.
[00:10:42] In addition to these attacks that the Zionist enemy
[00:10:45] is currently carrying out in the Gaza Strip, we occasionally see that
[00:10:49] it also carries out wider assassination
[00:10:53] operations in southern Lebanon. Today, we had news
[00:10:56] that Mansouri and Bureij
[00:11:00] and other areas were attacked, such as Bani Hayam
[00:11:04] and Qantara. In your opinion, why
[00:11:07] are these attacks by the Zionist enemy happening? Many of them
[00:11:11] are without any specific purpose.
[00:11:13] Exactly.
[00:11:15] The destruction of the homes of villagers in southern
[00:11:19] Lebanon has been targeted, and it seems they want to create
[00:11:23] a scorched earth in southern Lebanon. From the very beginning
[00:11:27] of Al-Aqsa Flood, Israel started this slowly.
[00:11:30] Netanyahu wants to create
[00:11:34] a buffer zone with them. However,
[00:11:36] a buffer zone will never bring security
[00:11:40] to northern occupied Palestine and the settlers.
[00:11:43] The one who is going to strike has missiles
[00:11:47] with longer ranges. At most, 10 kilometers,
[00:11:51] 15 kilometers. He wants to destroy this area
[00:11:54] and prevent something. He wants to leave a barren
[00:11:57] and scorched land.
[00:12:00] He wants to see movements of this kind of prescription
[00:12:04] that Israeli military personnel usually
[00:12:07] have, which is also useless. In fact, in the end,
[00:12:11] it is still insecurity. The people of northern
[00:12:13] occupied Palestine, the Zionists in these settlements,
[00:12:17] still do not trust.
[00:12:19] He is also trying to say that I am pursuing
[00:12:23] your security.
[00:12:29] Return and stay. Be assured.
[00:12:32] But they also know that
[00:12:36] ultimately it is Hezbollah that is dominant
[00:12:39] there for actually
[00:12:43] hitting any target.
[00:12:47] It has the power. Potentially,
[00:12:49] it has this. However, sometimes it does not use
[00:12:53] it actually. It does not operationalize
[00:12:57] it. And this assurance
[00:13:00] has not been created in them.
[00:13:03] Without a doubt, Netanyahu is also pursuing the issue
[00:13:07] of elections. He wants to drag this
[00:13:10] matter until the elections, this commotion
[00:13:13] that he considers a sign
[00:13:15] of the life of Israelis.
[00:13:19] He wants to maintain this now from that
[00:13:23] 1100 tons.
[00:13:58] He simply wants to send a message internally that we are confronting and
[00:14:02] that this peace that the settlers
[00:14:05] have is the result of these actions. But the settlers know
[00:14:09] that it is not the result of these actions. It is the result
[00:14:12] of Hezbollah's decision to remain silent
[00:14:16] for now and not respond. Tomorrow,
[00:14:19] it might break its silence. For the settlers,
[00:14:22] this is a nightmare. And Netanyahu, in my opinion,
[00:14:28] these actions he wants to take so that he can get
[00:14:31] votes, logically he should
[00:14:35] until the elections,
[00:14:37] which are now almost a month and a half away,
[00:14:41] it is possible that other things may happen.
[00:14:44] Now, on this side, they say that Netanyahu
[00:14:47] is pursuing an action that can change the election
[00:14:51] scene, where he is currently in third place in the evaluations.
[00:14:55] He wants to reach the first place,
[00:14:57] which means a larger number
[00:15:01] of representatives in the parliament
[00:15:03] of the Zionist regime, so that he can still
[00:15:07] maintain himself in the post of prime minister.
[00:15:09] Everyone also knows that if Netanyahu
[00:15:11] steps down
[00:15:14] from the premiership, his judicial issues
[00:15:17] will still be active. These complexities,
[00:15:21] in my opinion, are one of Netanyahu's
[00:15:25] methods to preserve himself through these attacks,
[00:15:28] and many say that
[00:15:31] they do not have operational value,
[00:15:34] even Ali Taher, the exaggerations in that regard.
[00:15:46] Mr. Amani, in addition to these attacks,
[00:15:49] we are witnessing that the Lebanese government negotiated
[00:15:52] several times with the Zionist regime, through American
[00:15:56] mediation. These talks took place
[00:15:59] in the US and in Europe.
[00:16:02] But we practically see that even the minor agreements,
[00:16:06] such as the Lebanese army deploying to the eastern
[00:16:09] sector, for example,
[00:16:12] and no further aggression taking place there,
[00:16:16] have not been respected. For example, just yesterday,
[00:16:18] the artillery of the Zionist regime's army fired
[00:16:22] at the Lebanese army, and destroyed a house
[00:16:26] in eastern Zoeter. All these actions are taking place
[00:16:29] under the shadow of a passivity from, unfortunately,
[00:16:32] both the Lebanese government and the Lebanese army.
[00:16:36] What is the reason for this? Why don't the Lebanese army
[00:16:39] and the Lebanese government take a very serious
[00:16:43] action? Many people wonder why the Lebanese
[00:16:46] army doesn't take serious action when it is part
[00:16:49] of Lebanese territory. Well, everyone knows,
[00:16:53] Mr. Azimzadeh, that the Lebanese army
[00:16:56] does not have the power,
[00:17:00] does not have enough equipment
[00:17:03] and weaponry. This is a conspiracy
[00:17:05] that has been in place from the beginning regarding
[00:17:09] the Lebanese army by foreign powers,
[00:17:13] that there should not be any powerful
[00:17:15] army next to Israel.
[00:17:19] They pursued this with politics in Egypt,
[00:17:22] with other methods in Jordan.
[00:17:25] Even during the time of Hafez al-Assad
[00:17:29] and Bashar al-Assad, they could not overcome
[00:17:32] him. Immediately after individuals
[00:17:36] who are very religious
[00:17:51] and active in it, and they also have
[00:17:54] good morale.
[00:17:56] But they do not have enough
[00:18:00] equipment and weaponry.
[00:18:03] The Lebanese government has, in my opinion, chosen a path
[00:18:08] that might lead to results.
[00:18:11] This path requires that the people of
[00:18:14] Lebanon themselves, and all groups,
[00:18:17] and even the Lebanese personalities
[00:18:20] who proposed, pursued,
[00:18:23] and carried out this process of negotiation with
[00:18:27] Israel, and supported it,
[00:18:29] believe in the words of Sheikh Naim Qassem
[00:18:32] that Israel will not end the occupation
[00:18:36] except through
[00:18:39] resistance. Now, this is the field.
[00:18:43] You negotiate. We are against it.
[00:18:46] We do not accept this. We condemn
[00:18:49] negotiation with Israel. But in any case,
[00:18:53] perhaps the Lebanese government needs
[00:18:56] to experience this period as well.
[00:18:59] And the Lebanese government
[00:19:03] has officially announced that it approves
[00:19:06] of this method,
[00:19:08] and those who advised it to use
[00:19:12] the Iran-US agreement and this issue
[00:19:16] and support it, it preferred to act
[00:19:19] directly. Well, the results
[00:19:23] are clear, as you said. And they, of course,
[00:19:27] do not trust the Lebanese army. I believe that
[00:19:30] they have no
[00:19:32] belief in the Lebanese government,
[00:19:35] nor in the Prime Minister, nor in the President
[00:19:39] of Lebanon. They have no
[00:19:43] belief, no trust at all. In this situation,
[00:19:47] they want to carry out their own work,
[00:19:51] and the negotiation process is an unknown
[00:19:54] process that, in my opinion,
[00:19:57] will not lead to the desired outcome for the Lebanese
[00:20:00] government. In your opinion, will the developments
[00:20:04] in southern Lebanon remain the same,
[00:20:08] with the aggressions of the Zionist regime
[00:20:11] going unanswered? Look, after all,
[00:20:14] Hezbollah's patience has a limit.
[00:20:18] Now, Netanyahu is observing that limit
[00:20:22] and carrying out his movements below
[00:20:25] that limit. Why?
[00:20:28] Because Netanyahu knows that if he crosses that limit,
[00:20:32] he may face a response from the Islamic Republic,
[00:20:35] and Hezbollah may start operations and attacks.
[00:20:38] Now, on the eve of the elections
[00:20:42] of the Zionist regime,
[00:20:46] will war lead to an increase? Or will this situation of no war
[00:20:52] and peace and Israel's occasional
[00:20:54] attacks continue,
[00:20:58] or will there be a widespread war and attacks
[00:21:02] that have happened several times so far?
[00:21:05] In my opinion, Netanyahu is looking to maintain
[00:21:09] the same provocative actions and will not
[00:21:12] give concessions to the Lebanese government,
[00:21:16] because in Netanyahu's view, what can bring
[00:21:20] security is not
[00:21:23] the promises of the president and prime minister,
[00:21:26] but Hezbollah's weapons. And he
[00:21:29] and the Americans have announced,
[00:21:32] and the regime itself was looking for this from
[00:21:35] the beginning and wants to put pressure on the issue
[00:21:39] of disarmament, which,
[00:21:42] considering the sectarian characteristics of Lebanon,
[00:21:45] such a thing also seems
[00:21:49] in his latest
[00:22:02] statements, he also emphasized
[00:22:05] the path of resistance and the issue
[00:22:08] of Palestine as the central issue
[00:22:11] of Hezbollah. Exactly, his words are that
[00:22:15] Palestine, as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has always
[00:22:18] emphasized, remains the central
[00:22:22] issue of Hezbollah. What is the reason for this
[00:22:26] emphasis by the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Lebanon?
[00:22:29] Look, martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
[00:22:32] repeated this sentence
[00:22:36] many times: "Nahn Shia Ali ibn Abi Talib,
[00:22:39] lan natakhala an Falasteen." He said it many
[00:22:41] times:
[00:22:43] "We are the Shia of Imam Ali (peace be upon him),
[00:22:46] and we will not abandon the support of Gaza
[00:22:50] and Palestine."
[00:22:52] Well, this is a covenant that
[00:22:55] exists. For Muslims,
[00:22:59] and even for all humanity,
[00:23:02] the issue of Palestine is a deep
[00:23:05] wound that if not
[00:23:09] addressed, the Israeli plague
[00:23:12] will logically take over the region
[00:23:16] and the world. Europeans are also aware
[00:23:20] of this issue, and Americans
[00:23:23] are also aware. Now, each
[00:23:26] according to their own situation, some European countries
[00:23:30] are forced to make concessions to ward off the evil
[00:23:33] of these creatures who have now occupied
[00:23:36] Palestine. The region will not
[00:23:40] accept such a thing. Therefore,
[00:23:43] the Palestinian issue is not about a piece
[00:23:47] of land. Rather,
[00:23:50] it is not even about holy sites.
[00:23:52] It is beyond that. A wicked,
[00:23:56] evil, notorious,
[00:23:59] arrogant, criminal sect
[00:24:03] wants to come and rule the region
[00:24:06] and then the world. And they have been able to bring great
[00:24:10] powers with them, although in my opinion,
[00:24:13] throughout these three years and Israel's crimes,
[00:24:17] the position of the Zionist regime
[00:24:21] in Europe, especially,
[00:24:24] has significantly declined from its previous
[00:24:27] level. But
[00:24:30] in any case, for Hezbollah, for every
[00:24:34] Muslim, especially for us Shias
[00:24:38] who have an Ashura culture
[00:24:41] and do not submit to oppression,
[00:24:44] these are vital issues,
[00:24:48] and that sentence
[00:24:52] is a key sentence, and he has expressed
[00:24:55] what he believes
[00:24:58] in, and I think all Muslims
[00:25:01] should reach a practical unity on this
[00:25:05] issue. However,
[00:25:08] well, this is something
[00:25:11] that we thought should happen, especially in this recent period.
[00:25:15] The wars that we had were not very
[00:25:19] desirable for these Arab countries.
[00:25:22] We must try to make them understand the importance
[00:25:25] of this issue more than before and the danger of the regime.
[00:25:29] Thank you very much, Mr. Mojtaba Omani,
[00:25:32] our former ambassador to Lebanon.

[00:30:25] The most important news in the last
[00:30:27] 24 hours tonight.
[00:30:31] Iran's warning to America and its regional
[00:30:35] allies: If you make a miscalculation, your interests
[00:30:38] and bases in the region
[00:30:41] will not be safe. The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council
[00:30:44] said that if war is re-imposed, we will strike American
[00:30:48] naval vessels wherever
[00:30:50] they are in the Indian Ocean.
[00:30:58] National readiness to confront
