[00:00:11] مامانم of میگه اسمش همیشه خلیج فارس [00:00:14] بوده. ما بچه های خلیج [00:00:17] فارسیم. [00:00:19] of اینجا برای ما فقط یه دریا نیست.

[00:01:01] خلیج فارس برای همه ما [00:01:04] of [00:01:06] a ایرانیاست. [00:01:11] of of [00:01:22] of in of [00:01:29] of of [00:01:49] of [00:01:57] of [00:02:03] of [00:02:04] of [00:02:07] of [00:02:14] of three years after Alxa flood operation on October [00:02:18] 7, 2023, the question is no [00:02:20] of longer simply what happened that morning. [00:02:22] of The harder [00:02:22] of question is why it happened, and whether the Palestinian resistance had reached [00:02:26] a point where doing nothing had become the greater gamble. For [00:02:30] decades, Gaza lived under blockade. The West Bank [00:02:33] of watched [00:02:33] of its land disappear beneath expanding settlements. Al-Quds [00:02:37] and Al-Aqsa remained at the center [00:02:40] of of [00:02:40] of recurring [00:02:41] of confrontation. Palestinian prisoners filled Israeli entity [00:02:45] jails while successive rounds of [00:02:47] of war produced devastation without resolving the underlying [00:02:50] conflict. [00:02:51] of Then came October 7. To both its supporters and critiques, [00:02:55] it [00:02:55] of was of a [00:02:56] of [00:02:56] of calculated strategic shock, moment in which the Palestinian resistance. [00:03:00] shattered the image of an Israeli entity protected by walls, [00:03:03] surveillance, technology [00:03:05] of and military superiority, and there is where the real argument [00:03:09] begins: was al-aqsa flood an initiative or a [00:03:12] gamble? an initiative is actually build on [00:03:15] calculations, the capabilities [00:03:16] of the enemy, the possible responses, the risks and the [00:03:20] objectives. [00:03:21] of a gamble by contrast enters the unknown, accepting consequences that [00:03:25] may become impossible to control. three years [00:03:28] of after october [00:03:29] of 7. has paid an unimaginable price, a [00:03:33] full on unimaginable price, a full on genocide by zinus [00:03:37] Israel, its cities have [00:03:38] of been thousands of Palestinians have been displaced, [00:03:42] of the West Bank has faced intensified settlement expansion and military [00:03:46] pressure, while Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and other [00:03:49] regional actors have all [00:03:52] of experienced consequences connected directly or indirectly to [00:03:55] the windening confrontation with Zinus [00:03:57] a Israel and its patron, the United States. of America. [00:04:01] However, there is another side to the [00:04:04] letter. Alexaflood operation also exposed vulnerabilities that [00:04:08] Zinus Israel had spent decades presenting as impossible to [00:04:12] penetrate. It shattered the [00:04:14] of mythology of absolute security and demonstrated that overwhelming military [00:04:17] power does not necessarily eliminate the possibility of [00:04:21] strategic surprise. You see, it completely [00:04:24] exposed the hypocrisy [00:04:26] of the so-called most moral army in the world. Designed. [00:04:30] army that is [00:04:31] of still committing genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, [00:04:34] which gets us back to square one as [00:04:36] to why the alaxa flood operation was actually [00:04:39] of necessity of rather of than an adventure. So to those who st [00:04:43] question, it's [00:04:44] of asking and telling us that the Palestinian resistance open any [00:04:47] in chapter in the struggle or unleash forces [00:04:49] of those consequences exceeded even its own [00:04:51] calculations. Well, three years [00:04:55] on, history has not finished writing the [00:04:58] of answer, but it has exposed. the genocidal nature of zionist [00:05:01] Israel to the entire [00:05:04] of world. welcome to the med [00:05:05] stream, [00:05:11] the years. After the alaxa flood, we look back a period that [00:05:15] transformed Gaza, Palestine and the wider region from the [00:05:19] shock of October 7 and Zinus Israel genocidal war on [00:05:22] Gaza, to the ethnic cleansing in Lebanon and escalation in [00:05:26] Syria, Iran and Yemen. Joining us from Beirot is Mr. [00:05:29] Hasan Ataya, representative the Palestinian Islamic jihad in [00:05:33] Lebanon for conversation about the decisions, the [00:05:36] sacrifices, the losses and strategic consequences [00:05:40] these three extraordinary. years, thank you very much for being with [00:05:44] us, Mr. Assan on this day, as you know, three years ago the [00:05:47] Palestinian resistance launched an operation that shattered really [00:05:51] Zionist Israel's illusion of security and [00:05:54] invincibility, and but it triggered with it a [00:05:58] genocidal war against our brothers and sisters in Gaza and [00:06:02] destruction the West Bank and elsewhere. Now [00:06:05] consequences have uh been going all [00:06:09] throughout the region, not only just uh... [00:06:12] inside of Gaza, looking back today, how do you [00:06:16] assess the operation of flood and what did the [00:06:20] resistance believe it could actually achieve [00:06:23] by [00:06:24] it? [00:06:28] first, [00:06:29] it is important emphasize that operational flood was not something that emerged [00:06:33] a vacuum or happened overnight, it was not simply the result of an isolated [00:06:37] decision by the resistance to take action beyond what might be considered [00:06:40] reasonable, rather it was culmination of years of continuous [00:06:44] Israeli entity aggression, the siege imposed on Gaza, the killing and [00:06:48] destruction, the targeting and demolition of residential buildings and the [00:06:52] repeated wars waged against Gaza. It was also the result of ongoing [00:06:56] attacks by Israeli entity settlers in the west bank, the constant [00:06:59] incursions into al-Aqsa Mosk, attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods [00:07:03] and continued attempts to judaize al-Quds, al-Aqsa Mosque and what [00:07:07] remains of occupied Palestine. All these developments ultimately led [00:07:11] to powerful response. by the Palestinian resistance, carried out by [00:07:14] several resistance factions under the leadership the Al-Qassam brigades. [00:07:18] When the operation was launched, it was embraced by all Palestinian [00:07:22] factions, and the Palestinian people in Gaza joined and participated in [00:07:25] confronting the Israeli enemy, which had persisted in its killing and destruction in [00:07:29] Gaza. As for evaluating the operation itself, I believe any final [00:07:33] assessment can only be made after the battle and the war have ended, the battle [00:07:37] is still ongoing and we cannot yet produce definitive public assessments or [00:07:41] conduct a comprehensive. accurate evaluation of what has taken place. [00:07:45] We are still at the heart the battle, the killing continues, the genocidal war [00:07:49] continues, and the attacks across the region are still ongoing. [00:07:52] Therefore, we must maintain a high level of awareness and recognize that [00:07:56] any interim assessment of what has happened is the responsibility the resistance [00:08:00] leadership. It is up to them to study [00:08:02] the developments, draw lessons from what occurred, and take the appropriate measures and [00:08:06] steps needed to continue confronting and resisting the enemy. As for the final [00:08:10] assessment, that will come only. after this battle has ended, god [00:08:14] willing, and we believe that despite the difficult circumstances [00:08:17] ahead, the signs of victory are becoming increasingly [00:08:20] clear, well, [00:08:24] mr. gaza has indeed endured discussion, destruction [00:08:27] and anniholation, if I will, a scale [00:08:31] that the world has been shocked by, we have [00:08:34] international bodies, international legal institution, humanitarian institutions, [00:08:38] going as far as calling it officially a genocide, what's going on? [00:08:42] in Gaza because of what Zinos Israel conducted against the [00:08:46] civilians and the civilian infrastructure in the strip, what do you [00:08:50] believe zionist Israel wanted by destroying Gaza in [00:08:54] specific, and why has it failed to end the Palestinian [00:08:57] resistance despite the vast amount of [00:09:01] destruction that it implemented against the Gaza [00:09:05] strip? [00:09:11] the Israely entity made it clear. through its response to the operation that it was carrying out a large-scale [00:09:15] criminal campaign, systematically targeting civilians and civilian [00:09:19] institutions, including educational and religious institutions in Gaza. [00:09:23] It committed horrific massacres, brutal massacers in every sense the [00:09:26] word. Perhaps the Israeli entity wanted to break the Arab and Islamic consciousness [00:09:30] across the region as well as the Palestinian consciousness, sending the message [00:09:34] that anyone who dares to confront this enemy will face the same fate, [00:09:38] destruction and anniholation, without anyone in the world being able to save [00:09:42] them. or stop the devastation. The second part of this strategy [00:09:46] also became evident. The world largely watched what was happening, although [00:09:50] some countries and people around the world rejected the genocide, and although many [00:09:53] express sympathy with the Palestinian people being killed before the eyes the world, they [00:09:57] were unable to stop this genocidal war any meaningful way. Even [00:10:01] now, despite the seasfire agreement and the understandings that were reached, the [00:10:05] Israeli entity continues to carry out assassinations, killings and [00:10:08] attacks. From the very beginning the aggression, the Israeli entity open. [00:10:12] declared that it wanted to eliminate the resistance, reoccupy Gaza [00:10:16] militarily and displace the Palestinian people from their land. The [00:10:19] United States openly stated its behalf that it wanted to displace Palestinians from [00:10:23] the west bank into Jordan. [00:10:25] and from Gaza into Egypt. This was met with extremely negative reactions [00:10:29] around the world, particularly from the two countries targeted by these displacement [00:10:33] plans. The Palestinian people, through the steadfastness their sons [00:10:37] and daughters and their determination to remain on their land, also thwarted these [00:10:41] plans. Despite the siege, starvation, the war aimed at breaking [00:10:44] their will, and the ongoing aggression and attacks, the Palestinian people in [00:10:48] Gaza remain steadfast. They continue to make sacrifices and [00:10:52] endure these conditions. The resistance of this people comes from within the [00:10:56] people themselves, their own sons are the ones fighting, their own sons are the [00:11:00] ones standing against the enemy. therefore, perhaps the [00:11:03] Israeli entity succeeded in militarily occupying a large part of [00:11:07] Gaza, but it failed to achieve its objective of eliminating the [00:11:10] resistance. the resistance remains present, remains active, and [00:11:14] remains beyond the ability of this occupation to defeat. if the Israeli [00:11:18] entity had truly succeeded in eliminating the resistance, it would not have [00:11:22] negotiated with its leadership to recover its prisoners. and reach an agreement for [00:11:26] seisfire that it could then use to its advantage. As everyone [00:11:29] knows, this enemy has record of withdrawing from agreements and breaking its [00:11:33] commitments and treaties. We are therefore now facing an ongoing aggression [00:11:37] whose objective is to displace the remaining Palestinian population through pressure and [00:11:41] siege, an attempt to force them into displacement, after the Israeli [00:11:45] entity failed to carry out a mass displacement the population. And there are [00:11:48] clearly future projects and plans involving Trump and Netanyahu who [00:11:52] have ambitions for Gaza. [00:12:02] we have to be a bit realistic here, because the past three years have been [00:12:06] extraordinary pricey on the wider resistance [00:12:10] axes in the region, we have seen the assassinations and killings of [00:12:14] military leaders and political leaders all across both the palestinian, [00:12:17] lebanese and other Iranian as well and [00:12:21] other access of resistance leaders in the region. [00:12:25] in Iraq for example as well, how has the loss these figures [00:12:29] really affected the strategic thinking the [00:12:32] resistance and were they able to rise above what [00:12:36] happened? براي [00:12:37] الاستهداف المتعدd in my [00:12:41] view, the multiple targeting operations, particularly the targeting of [00:12:45] prominent resistance leaders at the very top the leadership the resistance factions [00:12:48] across the region must be understood in the broader context of this [00:12:52] war. we know that the Islamic resistance in Lebanon... immediately took the [00:12:55] initiative, beginning on the second day to support Gaza in the face of this [00:12:59] aggression and the battle of alaksa flood. this aggression against Gaza and the battle of [00:13:03] al-Aqsa flood helped bring the concept the unity the fronts into [00:13:07] practice, a principle that the resistance access as a whole had been [00:13:10] advocating. this was manifested across several areas, including [00:13:14] Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria. What [00:13:17] happened, even though it took a different form in Syria, including the targeting [00:13:21] the resistance and the losses it suffered, must be understood within the context. of a [00:13:25] comprehensive war, a war of aggression and an existential war being waged [00:13:29] by the occupying entity and its supporters across the region. In my view, [00:13:33] despite the enormous and heavy price paid, it did not break the [00:13:36] resistance. Yes, there were significant losses. We deeply morn [00:13:40] these great and important leaders, as well as the resistance fighters who were [00:13:43] murdered and who stood at the forefront the resistance on the various [00:13:47] fronts and in the most advanced positions. The targeting and martterdom of [00:13:51] civilians, including children and women, is also a profound source of pain. [00:13:55] yet, at the same time, we believe that those who are targeted and martered received [00:13:59] the highest honor they could have wished for, the honor of marterdom. The marterium [00:14:03] these leaders also strengthens the determination of those who remain in the [00:14:07] resistance to move forward, develop their capabilities, and continue this [00:14:10] path. It also allows the resistance to assess the initial outcomes of a [00:14:14] battle that is still ongoing and to take advantage the opportunities created by [00:14:18] these attacks, turning the targeting itself into opportunities. The [00:14:22] resistance has demonstrated remarkable ability in confronting. the enemy, [00:14:25] particularly on the battlefield, but also in the political and media [00:14:29] arenas. if we compare where Hazbullah stood when said Abbaswi [00:14:33] was murdered, with where it stood after Sayid [00:14:36] Hasan Nasaralah was murdered, the difference is striking. when Sayid Abbaswi was [00:14:39] murdered, was a very different stage in terms of its ability to confront [00:14:43] the occupation and its own internal capabilities, but when Sayid [00:14:47] Hasan Nasaralah was murdered, look at how far the resistance had advanced. [00:14:51] There is an important statement that Sayid Hasan Nasar Allah himself recalled during the [00:14:55] commemoration the murderdom of Dr. Fatih he quoted the [00:14:59] principle that movement to secretary general is martered can never be [00:15:02] broken. Therefore, the marturdom of Sayid Hasan Nasaralah [00:15:05] today may also herald a qualitative development within [00:15:08] Hazbullah that will surprise the enemy in the future. When Sayid [00:15:12] Hasan Nasar Allah attended the funeral the murder Dr. Fatih in [00:15:16] Damascus, he recalled the words attributed to Dr. Shiqaqi [00:15:20] following the murderdom of Sayid Abbaswi, movement whose secretary general [00:15:24] is murdered can never. be broken, we can see this through historical [00:15:28] Dr. was examples: targeted [00:15:29] when [00:15:31] and assassinated, where [00:15:32] were the military [00:15:33] capabilities of Islamic jihad at the time, and where did they eventually reach after all these [00:15:37] years? how many wars did they fight, sometimes independently and more [00:15:41] than once against the occupation? where do they stand today? and look at [00:15:45] Iran, when the leader, marter Sayid Ali Khamenei was [00:15:48] targeted, where was Iran then, and where is it today? The [00:15:52] war is still ongoing, yet Iran has emerged as major power confronting the [00:15:56] greatest military power in the world, the United States. Before this [00:16:00] war, the United States had enjoyed unrivaled dominance and was widely [00:16:03] regarded as the world's soul superpower. It also confronted the greatest. [00:16:07] military power in the region, the Israeli entity. The United States and [00:16:11] the Israeli entity attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran, but they failed to break [00:16:15] the will the Iranian people or bring down the Islamic Republic. [00:16:19] Iran today is therefore a major power confronting the greatest military power in the [00:16:23] world. The outcome of this war will change the global balance, and that [00:16:27] is precisely what frightens both the United States and the Israeli entity. [00:16:31] If we look at the same pattern, we can consider our brothers in [00:16:34] Hamas. was Hamas [00:16:38] then [00:16:39] and where did it reach after the martidom of its political bureau chief, the great leader [00:16:42] Ismail Hanni? Where will Hamas be in the future? All these [00:16:46] historical precedents suggest that the future the resistance factions and the future [00:16:50] of this resistance alliance will undoubtedly be different from [00:16:53] what it is today. The Resistance and its leadership draw lessons from their [00:16:57] experiences, assess the outcomes of battles and developments on the [00:17:00] ground, and continually take the appropriate measures. They also [00:17:04] make use their capabilities while closely studying the capabilities the... [00:17:08] israeli entity, [00:17:09] the United States and the intelligence services around the world that serve them. Perhaps they [00:17:13] have succeeded in carrying out a strike here or there, or achieving a particular [00:17:16] objective at one point or another, but [00:17:18] the strategic objective remains far from being achieved. They have not been able to [00:17:22] break the resistance or eliminated. That remains nothing more than a dream the [00:17:26] aging Israeli entity and its [00:17:28] administration. [00:17:33] Well, you mentioned something very important. [00:17:37] eventually attacked by the United States of America and designist [00:17:41] enemy as well, while Yemen also became another major battle [00:17:45] front in this war and west Asia through the [00:17:49] attacks and the pressure, the attacks on Yemen and the [00:17:53] counterattacks by Yemen on Saudi Arabia and [00:17:55] the bottleeneck the choke point of Babel Mandab [00:17:59] as well. Can you explain to our viewer, especially those in [00:18:03] in the west who really don't understand how things are going at the... [00:18:07] moment, how this war demonstrates the existence [00:18:11] of genuinely interconnected regional [00:18:15] resistance front, or does it rather expose the limits [00:18:19] of that concept of a united fronts of [00:18:22] resistance? [00:18:26] as i mentioned, the battle of flood embodied the unity the fronts or [00:18:30] known arenas. what is as the unity the the concept the unity the [00:18:33] arenas was originally introduced by the Islamic shihad movement and [00:18:37] also used as the name of one of its battles against the Israeli entity. the idea [00:18:41] was to establish the unity the palestinian arenas of confrontation. any [00:18:45] attack on the west bank is considered attack on the entire Palestinian [00:18:49] people. likewise, any attack on Gaza or on Palestinians anywhere they [00:18:53] are located, is considered attack on the Palestinian people and the [00:18:56] Palestinian resistance. accordingly, the Palestinian resistance forces [00:19:00] should come together and confront such aggression collectively. this [00:19:04] approach then developed further into the concept the unity the front. within the [00:19:08] resistance and across the broader resistance alliance. As I mentioned, the [00:19:11] Islamic Resistance in Lebanon took the initiative immediately and made significant [00:19:15] sacrifices in the context of this battle to support Gaza. Yemen [00:19:19] provided innovative model of support and confrontation. It employed a weapon [00:19:23] that it had not previously used in the war waged against it, the maritime front in the [00:19:27] Red Sea. It prevented ships belonging to the Israeli entity, or ships [00:19:31] heading toward ports and occupied Palestine from passing through the Red Sea. [00:19:35] As result, Yemen was able to exert significant economic pressure and [00:19:39] obstruct the Israeli entities maritime access. It even went further when it [00:19:42] declared that as long as Gaza was being prevented from receiving aid, Yemen would [00:19:46] prevent goods from reaching the Israeli entity. Yemen therefore also played in as [00:19:50] did the other resistance factions. Iran, as did the other resistance [00:19:54] factions. Iran was consistently present as well. It provided extensive [00:19:58] support on the military, political, media and logistical levels, as well as [00:20:02] in terms of expertise and capabilities. More than one joint [00:20:05] operations room was established at the beginning. the battle of alexa flood, [00:20:09] military coordination mechanisms were established along with security, [00:20:12] political and media coordination rooms. At the beginning the battle, the performance [00:20:16] the resistance axis and this broader resistance alliance evolved [00:20:19] significantly. Its major leadership figures had been meeting from time to [00:20:23] time, but before a flood, they had not yet reached the point of [00:20:27] developing a comprehensive, unified plan for major [00:20:30] confrontation. The concept of this access and this resistance front [00:20:34] was still taking shape. Then al-aqsa flood came and moved all into [00:20:38] an operational phase. There were now practical meetings between the leaderships the [00:20:41] Resistance Axis, with extensive coordination at every level. This [00:20:45] coordination allowed the Palestinian resistance to lead the battle inside Palestine through a [00:20:49] unified. military effort on the ground. Other resistance factions also [00:20:53] participated. More than 80 fighters from the Islamic Shihad Movement's Quds brigades were [00:20:57] murdered on the Lebanese Front alongside our brothers in Hazbullah, [00:21:00] confronting the ongoing aggression by the Israeli entity. There were also murders from [00:21:04] Yemen, Iraq and Iran. The Israeli entity went even further and [00:21:08] launched an aggressive war against Iran, seeking to eliminate its presence because [00:21:12] Iran is regarded as the central backbone of this resistance axis. In this [00:21:16] context, the United States also played a major role in removing. [00:21:20] geographically from the resistance axis and allowing the Israeli entity to advance [00:21:24] further with its occupations and to destroy Syria's scientific and military [00:21:27] capabilities. This was part of attempt to fragment and divide the [00:21:31] strategically important geography in the confrontation with the occupation, [00:21:34] particularly because Syria is one the states on the frontline surrounding occupied [00:21:38] Palestine that has not signed an agreement with the Israeli [00:21:41] entity. [00:21:45] So far, seems things are changing at the moment, but there's [00:21:49] a... time to discuss that, but I want to discuss with you one [00:21:52] final thought about the board of peace that we said we were going to touch upon, because [00:21:56] Donald Trump proposed the board of peace, but it seems like it's a border plan for [00:22:00] Gaza to become a real estate for Donald Trump and his family and possibly [00:22:04] Netanyahu and his family, which has raised really questions about the [00:22:07] determination of what happens to the self determination the people and the territory [00:22:11] of Gaza, does the resistance see the proposals as a genuine attempt to [00:22:15] end the war on Gaza, and if [00:22:18] not what is [00:22:50] wants to completely eliminate the resistance, while the United States and Trump in [00:22:54] particular, wants to turn Gaza into economic project from which he can [00:22:57] personally benefit. Trump secured a UN decision allowing him to become the [00:23:01] head and supervisor of this body, making him the chairman the board of [00:23:04] peace. Through this he wants to control the funds that will come into Gaza [00:23:08] as aid and use them to advance his own projects. He wants to transform [00:23:12] Gaza into economic project that he can personally profit from. That is why [00:23:16] even after his second presidential term and after he leaves the president the [00:23:20] United States, he would remain the head of this board by virtue the UN decision [00:23:24] he secured. Therefore, the future of this committee is not in Gaza's [00:23:28] interest. This board serves the interests the United States and the Israeli [00:23:31] entity. It will therefore not be able to save Gaza in the way the people of [00:23:35] Gaza hope. We want the Palestinian people in Gaza themselves to [00:23:39] be the ones making [00:23:40] the decisions, not outside powers coming in as guardians to administer [00:23:44] Gaza from outside Gaza. For this reason, we do not see any real [00:23:47] prospect for this board to succeed or to... use a future that serves the Palestinian [00:23:51] cause and the people of Gaza. The board of peace is managed and overseen [00:23:55] by the United States under Trump's leadership, while Netanyahu seeks to use it [00:23:59] to serve his own interests and does not honor or implement the agreements associated [00:24:03] with the board of peace. [00:24:06] نتنياهو يستخدمها لمصلحته ولم [00:24:10] ينفذ اي اتفاق متعلق بلجنه [00:24:12] السلام. the upcoming [00:24:15] possibly months will show whether this board of peace is actually serious one or [00:24:19] not. already know it's not, but the international [00:24:23] world or the international community needs to understand that this will not work as long [00:24:27] as the palestinian people do not have self-determination. i want thank you very much mr [00:24:30] sany representative the islamic jihad palestinin faction [00:24:34] right here in lebanon for giving us your the entire world not the region as we [00:24:38] know [00:24:38] it the entire world not the region as we know it ladies and gents thank you for watching [00:24:42] please do follow us on telegram and on x to get late uh latest updates [00:24:46] from the region of west Asia right here on press tv is the midi stream [00:24:49] salam alaikum [00:25:24] At the cradle of western civilization, us secretary of state [00:25:28] Marco Rubio tells a familiar story: Persians as [00:25:32] villains, Athenians as heroes, but is that [00:25:36] history or just Washington's preferred [00:25:38] vision? Persians plundered the temples, [00:25:42] they burned the shrines, they raised the acropolis to the ground. Case [00:25:46] closed, not so fast, history has habit of talk. [00:25:52] back, Alexander, he had great respect for the Persian culture, a [00:25:56] little inconvenient for narrative that reduces Persia to an army [00:26:00] of Barbarians and all sc winning filmmaker Oliver Stone [00:26:04] has message for those lecturing the world its past. I think [00:26:08] westerners don't understand completely the history of Iran [00:26:11] and Persia. I would suggest this book [00:26:14] is is a great place to [00:26:15] start. [00:26:21] Washington may think it can dictate the narrative, but history has [00:26:24] outlasted empires before, and it has a warning for those who think [00:26:28] they can rewrite it. You cannot change history, you'll be defeated. [00:26:32] by the forces of history, which are inevitable, and Americans seem to [00:26:36] believe that they can change that. this is insanity, this is the [00:26:40] defeats us every [00:26:41] time, [00:27:00] the assembly will hear. addressed by his excellency [00:27:04] Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister the state of [00:27:08] Israel, I request call [00:27:12] to escort his excellency and invite him to [00:27:15] address the [00:27:16] assembly.
