[00:00:11] of
[00:00:16] Iran and Oman reach an understanding over the straight of
[00:00:19] horm, they agree on coordinates for safe transit
[00:00:30] Israel intensifies
[00:00:31] of attacks on southern Lebanon despite an existing ceasefire and
[00:00:34] a ongoing peace talks
[00:00:35] of that are now into a third day in Rome.
[00:00:38] in Russia says it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones
[00:00:42] a overnight as Voladimir Zelenski appeals to allies an urgent attempt to
[00:00:45] of secure more missile interceptors and Myanmar's
[00:00:49] leader and former army chief is in Thailand seeking re-engagement and
[00:00:52] international
[00:00:55] of legitimacy.
[00:01:02] a of
[00:01:03] of of
[00:01:12] Iran and Oman have reached an understanding on the geographic
[00:01:16] coordinates for shipping groups through
[00:01:18] of the
[00:01:18] of straight of horams. Teran though says
[00:01:20] of that does not automatically
[00:01:22] of guarantee safe navigation
[00:01:26] me of of the of waterway. US president Donald Trump expressed optimism about a potential agreement, but Iran continues to deny.
[00:01:30] direct talks with America and blames its blockade for holding up
[00:01:34] progress. Greek
[00:01:34] of Boswell has more from
[00:01:39] of of Washington. US President Donald Trump made only a passing reference ending the Iran
[00:01:43] war during a campaign speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday. We
[00:01:47] of were all set for the biggest attack since World War II and they called
[00:01:50] me and they said please don't do it let's talk and then they don't they
[00:01:54] said we never said that but we are talking let's see what
[00:01:57] happens. says they are not
[00:02:01] talking, but a framework agreement for commercial shipping through the straight of
[00:02:05] homoz is being hammered out between Iran and
[00:02:08] in Oman, of the map, the transit roots, the entering and exiting
[00:02:12] of maritime traffic, and those by literal site agreements
[00:02:16] of with Oman, because it's not just map. These fundamental agreements
[00:02:20] with Oman have been mostly completed, meaning we have made
[00:02:24] significant progress in our discussions with
[00:02:26] of Oman, and this progress is on the verge of being finalized.
[00:02:30] of
[00:02:31] in "Iran says
[00:02:31] of it will not automatically reopen the crucial
[00:02:34] in waterway. of Late Tuesday, Trump placed a time frame on the
[00:02:41] of of of deal. We're moving along very
[00:02:42] in nicely. The US president made that statement
[00:02:46] after saying
[00:02:46] of all-day negotiations with Iran were
[00:02:48] of positive. He immediately followed that up with a threat to resume military
[00:02:52] operations. It remains
[00:02:54] of unclear from the Trump
[00:02:55] of administration standpoint exactly who is talking, but the Americans
[00:02:59] have been. clear that fees to transit the straight are not
[00:03:02] me an option, as you know
[00:03:04] the mediators, Qatar, Pakistan, and now Oman are all working together
[00:03:08] on on that issue, we are coordinating very closely with the
[00:03:11] of Omanies to facilitate the talks between both sides and exchanging
[00:03:15] a ideas. marine traffic data on Wednesday shows about 10 commercial ships
[00:03:19] passed through the straight of Roms in about 25 hours, as the
[00:03:23] standoff over the straight continues, so do the rising costs for
[00:03:26] American consumers
[00:03:34] correspondent Rezatomi is in Tehran with details for us
[00:03:36] of the agreement arran and a man are working on.
[00:03:40] of Commercial uh shipping basically means
[00:03:43] any ship that serves no military
[00:03:47] in purpose, of it in means of it
[00:03:48] of includes oil tankers, it includes
[00:03:51] cargo vessels
[00:03:53] of any ship that is not military and has no military
[00:03:57] a dimension. But we have emphasize here
[00:03:58] of that Iran says deal
[00:04:01] of with oman doesn't mean that the strate of hormos has been
[00:04:05] reopened, mean a deal with oman doesn't automatically
[00:04:09] of reopen the street of hormos. Iran says that other
[00:04:12] of conditions of have to be
[00:04:14] of met before Tehran reopens this
[00:04:17] of strategic waterway,
[00:04:18] of including the United States lifting its neighbor blockade,
[00:04:21] including the United States stopping
[00:04:23] of military
[00:04:24] of threats, basically Iran
[00:04:26] of wants the United States to
[00:04:27] of return to the Islamabad. of understanding and we
[00:04:31] know that if the
[00:04:34] of United States is to abide by its commitments under the Islamabad
[00:04:37] memorandum of understanding, it has to lift the neighbor blockade, it has to
[00:04:41] grant wavers and Iran sanctioned oil and
[00:04:45] petrochemical products and the United States has also declared officially that
[00:04:49] the war on
[00:04:50] of Iran of is over and Israel has to stop its attacks on Lebanon as well as
[00:04:54] Iran and the United States both
[00:04:56] of them have reported good progress in talks.
[00:05:00] between Tehran and Muscat, very few ships have been able to
[00:05:04] pass through the straight of hormos and also there has been
[00:05:07] of report of a fresh attack on Wednesday evening
[00:05:11] a vessel the... is transiting through the straight of hormos,
[00:05:15] but basically if the straight gets reopened, Iran says
[00:05:19] that any ship from any country that wants to pass through the state
[00:05:23] of armus has to coordinate with Iran first and has to
[00:05:26] get Iran's
[00:05:27] approval. Elizabeth
[00:05:31] Brow is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council Transatlantic security
[00:05:35] initiative, she says that while Trump's expressed optimism about reaching a deal with
[00:05:38] Iran, it remains unclear what specific agreement he's referring to.
[00:05:44] "the reality is we don't know what he was referring to, but what we do
[00:05:47] know is that he's very keen for some sort of deal
[00:05:51] uh to be reached, and the the
[00:05:55] the the really the the paradoxical reality is
[00:05:59] that the deal that is the closest to being reach is the one that uh
[00:06:03] has been the most recent in being negotiated or
[00:06:07] where we have seen the most recently launched negotiations, namely
[00:06:11] uh the negotiations between..." Iran and Oman over
[00:06:14] the technical issue the straight of Amoos and I
[00:06:18] think if uh they manage to reach an agreement,
[00:06:22] President Trump will then use that to um try
[00:06:26] to finalize or reach an agreement between the United States and
[00:06:29] Iran. The tragedy the situation until the 28th of February we had
[00:06:33] the United Nations Convention the law on the law the sea which
[00:06:37] uh which worked really well in the straight
[00:06:41] of Amos and the world's other oceans, it certainly wasn't
[00:06:45] perfect, but it allowed shipping to go in and out the
[00:06:48] Persian gulf a daily basis in significant numbers
[00:06:52] and those ships could go,
[00:06:56] any ships could could enter and exit and they didn't have to pay, and
[00:07:00] now we have to be pleased if Iran and Oman manage
[00:07:04] to to um reach some sort of deal that would be
[00:07:07] less good than uncloss, but this is how much the reality has changed since the
[00:07:11] 28th of... "there are no guarantees beyond the word of
[00:07:15] Iran and Oman that this agreement that they are negotiating
[00:07:19] would work, and yet shipping companies have to make some
[00:07:23] sort of decision based on on the publicly available
[00:07:26] information that that we have, because
[00:07:30] they they can't wait forever to to either exit the Gulf
[00:07:34] or enter the Gulf. Yemen's Iran
[00:07:38] aligned hoothies have confirmed a missile attack on yet another Saudi
[00:07:41] linked oil. tanker, the group says the vessel was targeted in the Gulf of
[00:07:45] Aiden. Wednesday, they also claim responsibility for
[00:07:48] attack a Saudi tanker off the coast the Red Sea port of
[00:07:52] Yambu. The latest attacks come as the Houthies step up pressure on Riyad
[00:07:55] after imposing naval blockade in the Red Sea last month of what
[00:07:59] they called a Saudi siege of
[00:08:01] Yemen. Turkish foreign minister Han Fidan
[00:08:05] says the lack of progress in US Iran talks has affected the
[00:08:09] international focus coming onto Gaza. Fidan added anchor.
[00:08:42] to flow so that global oil and energy prices do not rise, all
[00:08:46] the problems in the region have become
[00:08:48] interconnected, we recognize this connection while
[00:08:52] putting our diplomacy into practice, but until now the problem
[00:08:56] has always been waiting
[00:08:58] for the solution to come from outside. we approach these issues with a
[00:09:01] sense of regional ownership. i believe
[00:09:04] that the steps
[00:09:04] to be taken on this issue will bring greater stability and peace to the
[00:09:08] region and contribute to the stability the international community.
[00:09:15] The Israeli military says that two of its soldiers have been killed, eight others
[00:09:19] wounded during combat in southern Lebanon. The strikes on Wednesday were in
[00:09:23] retaliation to what Israel described as Hezbalar violations
[00:09:26] the cease fire. It also urged residents the village of
[00:09:30] Mansuri to evacuate, claiming it was targeting and destroying
[00:09:33] hisb infrastructure there. Now the
[00:09:37] uptaking violence is playing out against the backdrop the final day of peace
[00:09:41] talks currently under. in Rome, these are between Israel and Lebanon, on the
[00:09:45] agenda, outstanding issues relating to the next phase of a gradual Israeli
[00:09:49] withdraw from the south of Lebanon under a US broker framework
[00:09:52] deal, diplomats also looking into working a comprehensive peace and
[00:09:56] security agreement. our correspond
[00:10:00] prvan is in Beirot with more
[00:10:02] updates: the Israeli
[00:10:05] present in southern Lebanon is certainly being felt by the residents
[00:10:09] of southern Lebanon, many of whom have just... made their
[00:10:13] way back to southern Lebanon in the last couple of
[00:10:17] weeks or months following the end of this full blown
[00:10:20] war. You know, as we have said time
[00:10:23] and time again, there is nothing more. that residents of Lebanon,
[00:10:26] particularly southern Lebanon want than simply to be back
[00:10:30] in their homes. It has been a long time since
[00:10:34] they have permanently been able to be back in their homes, whether we're
[00:10:38] talking about the rise of violence since 2023, sort of
[00:10:42] that slow simmering war, the full-blown war in 2024,
[00:10:46] the fall of 2024, and then again in the spring of
[00:10:50] 2026, so many these residents desperate
[00:10:54] to be home, but... and once again we saw intense Israeli
[00:10:57] air strikes on the area of burge shameli, now people may not
[00:11:01] know Burgishameli, but they definitely know the city of Tyre.
[00:11:05] This is very famous, ancient phinician
[00:11:09] city, it's home to some of Lebanon's best beaches. We were
[00:11:12] just there the other day speaking to the Lebanese, the hundreds of
[00:11:16] people that had populated the newly reopened
[00:11:20] public beach in Tyre, but once again people having to flee
[00:11:24] that area. because the intensity the
[00:11:27] Israeli strikes there, and Lebanese diplomatic sources
[00:11:31] are saying this is in fact the Israeli response to the
[00:11:35] Lebanese demands being made in Rome, of those
[00:11:38] demands, of course, a complete cessation of
[00:11:42] hostilities, and also the expansion these pilot
[00:11:46] zones, these pilot zones being part the
[00:11:49] US-Israeli Lebanese framework that was brokered ultimately
[00:11:53] at the end of June that calls for there to be certain
[00:11:56] essentially test areas that the Lebanese army
[00:12:00] goes into and takes over and then the the Israeli
[00:12:04] army ultimately withdraws
[00:12:06] from. Israeli forces continue to
[00:12:10] storm the kalandia refugee camp in the occupied west bank, at least 16
[00:12:14] Palestinians have so far been injured. 60 people have been arrested
[00:12:18] ameid raids, they come day after the Palestinian Red Creson said that eight people were
[00:12:21] injured when Israeli forces had sent reinforcements into the... landia
[00:12:25] camp, local media report the Israeli army distributed
[00:12:28] leaflets saying a large scale raid was being carried
[00:12:32] out there, so to hand in occupied east Jerusalem brings us
[00:12:36] the latest on the rates, we're
[00:12:40] standing right at the entrance the kalania refugee camp where Israeli
[00:12:44] forces have been carrying out a large scale military
[00:12:47] assault on this camp which is home to over
[00:12:50] 16, people, some people put it at 20,000
[00:12:54] uh the population the camp and this camp has been under siege
[00:12:58] for the second day a row, there's an entire full curfew on
[00:13:02] this camp, no one is allowed in or out, for
[00:13:06] the second day a row, as you can see there are heavy, there is heavy deployment
[00:13:10] of Israeli military forces, dozens of
[00:13:13] military jeeps have surrounded the camp from all sides
[00:13:17] and prevented even ambulances uh obstructing
[00:13:20] their work from trying to get in uh people injured, there are hundreds
[00:13:25] of Israeli soldiers as well as special forces,
[00:13:28] border police and other units that have been part of this
[00:13:32] um military assault, they are operating inside the camp,
[00:13:36] this is as close as we're able to get, unfortunately the Israeli
[00:13:40] military has been obstructing also the work of journalists uh
[00:13:44] from trying to cover what's happening inside, but what we know is that the Israeli
[00:13:47] military has arrested at least 15 people and
[00:13:51] carried out interrogations with dozens and dozens more.
[00:13:55] people, they've taken over the the offices the popular
[00:13:59] committee, which is the main body that provides basic services
[00:14:03] to the residents of this camp, they've used it as an
[00:14:06] interrogation center, and they've also taken over a
[00:14:10] children's nursery that is out of use, but they've also
[00:14:14] turned it into an interrogation center according to our sources on the ground
[00:14:17] inside the camp, they are raiding home to home,
[00:14:21] carrying out heavy vandalism and destruction of
[00:14:25] contents inside these homes, which is something we see across the occupied
[00:14:29] west bank a daily basis, they are carrying out
[00:14:32] interrogations with people and physically assaulting them,
[00:14:36] mostly
[00:14:36] men.
[00:14:50] three people have been killed in overnight strikes by Russia on Ukraine's eastern
[00:14:53] city of... clear in the harkiv region. rescue operations
[00:14:57] are underway as teams struggle to clean up the debbry. the
[00:15:01] strikes come day after at least 17 were killed in a barrage of
[00:15:05] Russian missiles and drones that targeted Kiev and the surrounding
[00:15:09] region. soon after the attacks Ukraine's president
[00:15:13] spoke with NATO and he called for more support. Lodin Zelensky has also been
[00:15:17] hosting the UK's defense secretary in Kieve, telling him Moscow wants
[00:15:21] to further escalate the conflict.
[00:15:27] b from your country and from all other European
[00:15:31] friends that it this is a signal also that Russia
[00:15:35] gives us and to the world that they... want to stop
[00:15:38] and I think that they want to continue and to, I mean
[00:15:42] increase escalation, yes, using the ballistic
[00:15:46] missiles and we have our estimation, I want to share with
[00:15:49] you, we have estimation that they will have, they will increase the
[00:15:53] production of such ballistic
[00:15:55] missiles, so flin
[00:15:59] bring us the latest updates from
[00:16:01] Kieve, we overnight
[00:16:04] saw few casualties in places in including in the the
[00:16:08] eastern part the the front line, but also in the north and Sumi as well, Russian glide bombs there
[00:16:12] hitting Sumi City, injuring number of people and also resulting -
[00:16:16] a couple of deaths. It is normal evening, normal night for
[00:16:19] Ukraine, but one that is increasingly concerning of course in the context
[00:16:23] the ballistic missiles and the lack of air defenses that Ukraine currently
[00:16:26] has. Vladimir Zelinski there talking to uh the UK defense minister
[00:16:30] was streating, we know that he has been having conversations yesterday too with
[00:16:34] Mark Rootter about how Ukraine can excelle. rate access
[00:16:38] to European partners, interceptors, things that are actually able to
[00:16:42] shoot down these ballistic missiles, because currently Ukraine basically
[00:16:46] has nothing. The key element of this is the US Patriot system,
[00:16:49] there are conversations between Kiev and Washington DC
[00:16:53] over both access to patriot systems, to patriot interceptor missiles
[00:16:57] themselves, but also about Ukraine's ability to manufacture
[00:17:00] patriots in the future. The key fact in all of this is the
[00:17:04] lead time that it would take to to do so. with patriot systems
[00:17:08] getting green-lit today, we would still be looking at the middle of next year before those will be able to come
[00:17:12] on-stream and possibly even later before they're actually able to be integrated
[00:17:15] into Ukrainian
[00:17:17] air defense. In the meantime, Ukraine is working incredibly hard
[00:17:21] to try and boost its own defensive um domestic
[00:17:25] manufacturing capabilities. Defense firms here that we've been talking to over the last couple of
[00:17:29] days and that we are talking to uh in the the coming days as well, are
[00:17:33] are really trying to move forward quickly tandem with their European
[00:17:37] partner. but there are significant road blocks, chief among them is how
[00:17:41] they pay for it, and those are conversations too that both NATO and
[00:17:44] Vladimir Zelinsky will trying to have in European
[00:17:47] capitals. Meanwhile, two people have been
[00:17:51] killed, five wounded in Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Briansk
[00:17:55] region. This after the Russian army said air defense systems shot down
[00:17:58] 605 Ukrainian drones overnight. Local
[00:18:02] authorities reported logistics center belonging to Russian
[00:18:05] e-commerce, giant warbries having. slightly damaged a drone
[00:18:08] attack, keer is reportedly seeking to disrupt the operations of that online
[00:18:12] retailer, which is accused of evading Russia's
[00:18:15] war. Ukraine's ammunition stock powers
[00:18:19] remain heavily dependent on foreign support. President Zelensky said Kiev
[00:18:23] could not intercept any the Russian missiles on Wednesday because of lack of
[00:18:26] ammunition. After the attack, Zelensky said supplies of air defense missiles
[00:18:30] fell two-thirds in the first half the year compared with the same period in
[00:18:34] 2025. The army is experiencing a shortage of US. patriot
[00:18:38] missiles too, Zelensky has requested license to produce
[00:18:41] patriots domestically, but the White House has not yet made decision
[00:18:45] on that. Keev also aims to produce its own interceptors. Ukrainian
[00:18:49] defense company Firepoint is currently developing an interceptor known as the
[00:18:52] Freyer project. Alexiav senior
[00:18:56] research fellow in defense and strategic studies at Edith Cowin University
[00:19:00] says Ukraine is facing several challenges including logistical issues and
[00:19:04] diminishing defensive capabilities. Ukraine
[00:19:08] right now is is in completely different position to
[00:19:11] compared to uh where it was when uh
[00:19:15] Russia launched its invasion uh of the country.
[00:19:19] Right now Ukraine has almost lost all of its indigenous
[00:19:23] defense capability. Russia managed to destroy it and is
[00:19:27] now entirely dependent on on on the supply of
[00:19:31] western military technology. The Ukraine also faces
[00:19:34] different sort of challenge which is logistic. challenge
[00:19:38] because it it it
[00:19:40] it is
[00:19:41] it is supplied with a multitude of of
[00:19:44] different defense systems and each them require
[00:19:48] a unique approach, each them require a different
[00:19:52] set of munitions and that just
[00:19:55] amalgamates the problem and and once the
[00:19:59] Ukrainians are sort of continue to make requests and please
[00:20:02] about needing more of western support, I
[00:20:06] think there is... needs to be a reality check because since the
[00:20:10] since the start the war uh the western coalition
[00:20:14] supplied Ukraine with some hundred air
[00:20:18] defense systems and several hundreds of surface to
[00:20:22] air missiles. well by comparison when
[00:20:25] Ukraine became independent in
[00:20:28] 1992 it inherited a fully integrated air
[00:20:32] defense system from the Soviet Union which at that time
[00:20:35] comprised uh over
[00:20:38] 220 air defense systems,
[00:20:41] so if you if you compare it, the western allies the
[00:20:45] past four years supplied half of what Ukraine
[00:20:48] inherited from the former Soviet Union and that's a
[00:20:52] significant chunk
[00:20:55] of western supplied military technology,
[00:20:59] something that cannot simply be sustained in terms of
[00:21:02] continuous supply forever, because uh systems dry up
[00:21:06] when when munitions dry up or the Russians
[00:21:10] destroy them one by
[00:21:11] one.
[00:21:18] Myanmar's leader. is in Thailand on an official visit as Bangkok pushes
[00:21:22] for re-engagement with its water neighbor and Asian, the regional
[00:21:26] block. Myanmar's leaders have been barred from Asian summit since
[00:21:29] 2021, when Minang Line staged a coup against the
[00:21:33] elected government of Angsensuchi, led to a civil war that killed an
[00:21:37] estimated 100 thousand. In is the subject of raft of
[00:21:41] western sanctions and has been seeking international legitimacy since becoming
[00:21:45] president in April. This follows an election he won overwhelmingly by an
[00:21:49] army. party in the absence of viable
[00:21:52] opposition. Myanmar is on the path of
[00:21:56] democracy and heading towards a better future. As new government, we are currently

[00:25:06] underway. more than
[00:25:10] decade of conflict has left deep scars across Syria, many them
[00:25:14] invisible. years of violence have taken heavy psychological toll, especially

[00:25:25] spaces to try reconnect with one another and begin a journey of
[00:25:34] sound of a guitar, fimilar melody or simply
[00:25:37] singing alongside friends. for many young Syrians,
[00:25:41] these moments have become far more than music. they are

[00:32:53] With dozens of towns occupied and the south still under
[00:32:56] attack, will Israel remain in Lebanon?
[00:32:59] Representatives from both countries and the US return to the table for
[00:33:03] seventh round of talks in Rome, but with Hesbollah refusing to
[00:33:07] disarm until Israel leaves, while Israel refuses to leave
[00:33:10] until Hezbulah disarms, can peace talks really succeed?
[00:33:35] Well, it's obvious you have to manage expectations when a lead negotiator
[00:33:38] says peace talks shouldn't move too quickly. That
[00:33:42] is not what hundreds of thousands of displaced. want to hear,
[00:33:46] desperate to return home, some have made their way back to villages left in
[00:33:50] ruins in southern Lebanon, with occupying Israely forces
[00:33:53] never far away, it's added more hardship to the country marking
[00:33:57] six years since its capital city was virtually destroyed in the
[00:34:01] Bayrut port explosion, so while Lebanon's people remain as
[00:34:05] resilient as ever, will they actually get the peace and
[00:34:08] accountability they
[00:34:14] Israel aren't about negotiating another peace
[00:34:17] deal, they're about assessing whether the one already
[00:34:21] agreed can actually work. for the first time since
[00:34:24] 1993, Israeli and lebanese officials have been meeting
[00:34:28] directly marking diplomatic breakthrough after decades
[00:34:32] without face to face talks, but turning that breakthrough into
[00:34:36] peace may prove far more difficult. at the heart
[00:34:40] the framework is faced Israeli withdrawal from southern
[00:34:44] Lebanon. "the first test
[00:34:46] is series of so-called pilot zones. Under the plan,
[00:34:50] Israely forces would gradually withdraw, the Lebanese army would take
[00:34:54] over security and the model would then be expanded
[00:34:57] elsewhere. But after weeks of negotiations,
[00:35:01] only one pilot zone has been implemented. That
[00:35:04] slow progress reflects the deeper problem. Every stage the
[00:35:08] framework depends on another one. Israel once Hezbulah
[00:35:12] disarmed before completing his withdrawal." Hesbullah
[00:35:16] insists there will be no disarmment while Israeli troops remain
[00:35:20] inside Lebanon. The talks also expose one the
[00:35:24] biggest gaps in the process. Hesbullah remains outside the
[00:35:28] negotiations and rejects the very premise it's built
[00:35:31] on. We consider that all direct
[00:35:35] negotiations with Israel have brought nothing but shame,
[00:35:38] humiliation, disappointment and continuous
[00:35:41] concessions. The divisions are not confined.
[00:35:45] To the negotiating table, Israeli military operations have continued
[00:35:49] across southern Lebanon, raising concerns that
[00:35:52] implementation remains far more fragile than the agreement
[00:35:56] itself. The UN interum force in Lebanon continues to
[00:35:59] observe daily Israely violations of Lebanese
[00:36:02] airspace. Between Thursday and Sunday, peacekeepers recorded
[00:36:06] 125 air violations with the combined total overflight
[00:36:10] time exceeding 418 hours.
[00:36:14] Surveillance and drones were observed near or above unifill positions in both
[00:36:18] sectors. Peacekeepers also report extensive military activity
[00:36:22] on the ground in south Lebanon, including significant engineering works and
[00:36:26] active troop movements. For displaced Lebanes, that's delaying
[00:36:29] any return to normal life. Some families have gone back to
[00:36:33] their villages, many others are still waiting with Israeli
[00:36:37] troops remaining in parts the south and entire communities left
[00:36:41] in ruins. We can say that the
[00:36:45] matter cannot be measured in terms of time, but rather in terms
[00:36:49] of solutions, and the solutions are very complicated when
[00:36:53] it comes to completely withdrawing Hezballah's weapons from within.
[00:36:57] Lebanon, the issue goes beyond the national sphere, it may
[00:37:01] even have regional dimension. Therefore, I believe
[00:37:05] that the timeline for the Israeli occupation will be a long
[00:37:09] time. The negotiations have reached a new
[00:37:12] stage, the diplomacy and the conflict, however,
[00:37:16] still appear to be moving on two very different tracks.
[00:37:20] So our Lebanon Israel peace talks a positive trajectory
[00:37:24] or just barely maintaining loll in this war. Well joining me
[00:37:28] now,
[00:37:44] you are in Beirut where you just marked six years
[00:37:48] since the uh Beirot port explosion on Tuesday, so my
[00:37:52] condolence is there. Let ask though, how are you
[00:37:56] personally feeling? about where your country is headed right now,
[00:38:00] given the state of political affairs as
[00:38:03] well as these continuing talks in
[00:38:22] the way what we reach at this point is series
[00:38:24] of state collapse. regional
[00:38:28] intervention, decades of
[00:38:31] mismanaging public
[00:38:34] affairs, but now we are a very critical moment, I
[00:38:38] think an era is ending in South Stebern, the way we know
[00:38:42] it, but we are transitioning to something that's not very
[00:38:45] clear yet and it's being forced imposed
[00:38:49] by force, whether the Israeli force and us
[00:38:53] support for this force, and this is my
[00:38:58] bring some temporary resolution, but it's not going to bring a long
[00:39:02] term, and now Lebanon is in limbo, is waiting for US, Iran
[00:39:06] basically talks and we have these talks in
[00:39:10] Rome as you mentioned this week, without the clear road map,
[00:39:14] maybe we will discuss it later in detail,
[00:39:18] but I think all the problems now I mentioned
[00:39:22] are really the culmination of it, what's happening in
[00:39:26] in South Levan. Okay uh,
[00:39:30] let ask, Romy, Joe says it's not a
[00:39:33] clear road map, and that they're
[00:39:37] transitioning right now in in Lebanon, this also something that's just not very
[00:39:40] clear, but they they at least have these pilot zones, do you
[00:39:44] think they're working and are they really the best indicator of
[00:39:48] of actual progress? Well, they're working
[00:39:52] as they're supposed to work, which is to reaffirm
[00:39:56] Israeli-American. priority
[00:39:59] and and sovereign control over south
[00:40:02] Lebanon and forcing the Lebanese
[00:40:05] government to comply with what Israel
[00:40:08] wants, so in that respect they are working, most
[00:40:12] the world doesn't think, I think most the region and much the world
[00:40:16] doesn't think this
[00:40:17] is a really fair and legitimate and
[00:40:21] equitable process and like the board of
[00:40:24] peace in in Gaza.
[00:40:28] "and the
[00:40:29] some things that were developed with Iran
[00:40:33] and the US under American pressure, these are not
[00:40:37] serious peace processes
[00:40:40] or movement towards a
[00:40:44] mechanism for peaceful coexistence in the long
[00:40:48] run, unlike say what you saw in Northern Ireland or southern Africa
[00:40:52] which did lead to an equitable peace, so in that respect
[00:40:56] no, they're not..." "they're not real progress
[00:40:59] uh in the long run, and they, but if they can
[00:41:02] spark push by all
[00:41:06] sides to get to the next stage that is more
[00:41:09] equitable, for instance the Lebanese should determine where do the
[00:41:13] Israelis withdraw from in phase two, in phase one, the Israeli said we're
[00:41:17] getting out these areas, some of which they didn't even occupy, phase two,
[00:41:21] maybe Lebanon should say, well these are the villages you got to get out of,
[00:41:25] and these are the areas you have to stop." something like that
[00:41:29] could rectify the imbalances now, but that
[00:41:32] rarely happens, but we'll just have to wait and
[00:41:35] see the lebanese are very talented people, but it depends on whether the US
[00:41:39] comes down. equitably for Israel and Lebanon
[00:41:42] or continues to push a process that favors what Israel
[00:41:46] wants? so you're saying that the pilot zones
[00:41:49] could somehow spark the real
[00:41:53] progress, but there's this overlying concern
[00:41:57] that, well Israel has definitely highlighted this, that
[00:42:00] Hezbulah will try to return to these pilot
[00:42:03] zones once it's established that the Lebanese army
[00:42:07] is in control, do you... see that
[00:42:10] as as something quite possible or
[00:42:14] is are you suspicious that Israel is looking for excuses to either
[00:42:17] stay as an occupier or be able to return
[00:42:21] later? um, the you know hizballah is issue, but
[00:42:25] it's not the issue, the issue is the
[00:42:28] tensions between
[00:42:30] uh zionist colonial expansion, american
[00:42:34] support for that
[00:42:35] and inadequate uh lebanese and arab government
[00:42:39] systems. and foreign manipulation
[00:42:43] ference in the region since the 1920s, that's the real
[00:42:46] problem. so the hisballah is willing
[00:42:49] to make like Hamas and Palestine, is willing to make
[00:42:53] reasonable concessions if the
[00:42:56] core root the problem is addressed, which is Israeli
[00:43:00] occupation
[00:43:01] and
[00:43:05] was born to push back Israel to get them out of Lebanon, they
[00:43:09] weren't... born for anything else.
[00:43:19] side, I i mentioned the suspicions that Israel already
[00:43:23] has, and it's also said that it, it has to
[00:43:26] verify somehow that Hezbulah has
[00:43:29] disarmed, how would that ever happen,
[00:43:32] and I mean then you have to also quash the suspicions that
[00:43:36] Israel has that the Lebanese army is somehow going to cooperate.
[00:43:41] because that's just what they do, and again it opens the door
[00:43:45] to prolonged occupation. you
[00:43:46] well, when
[00:43:51] not I going tell
[00:43:52] probably can it's to happen, and this is between now to October
[00:43:55] 27th, until the the elections
[00:43:59] in Israel, because what the current
[00:44:02] government is doing is looking at every
[00:44:06] strategic question from, to the
[00:44:10] lenses the
[00:44:13] balloting boxes to the elections and
[00:44:17] right now they are still having a
[00:44:20] problem convincing the communities in the israel there
[00:44:24] was a kind of symmetry that we're doing
[00:44:28] between the Israeli
[00:44:30] refugees that had to leave their
[00:44:33] homes during the war that started all
[00:44:37] this and started the reoccupation. of
[00:44:40] southern Lebanon, and they are also
[00:44:44] demanding some kind of guarantees
[00:44:47] from the current government that it will not happen to
[00:44:51] them again, there are still people who move to
[00:44:55] the center of Israel and they are not back yet because they don't
[00:44:59] feel safe, so Netanyahu right now is
[00:45:03] looking every morning at the polls
[00:45:06] and he's not happy with what he sees.
[00:45:10] "and probably the good
[00:45:13] news is that in October we
[00:45:17] will have another government that will
[00:45:20] look
[00:45:22] at the Israeli international relationships and public
[00:45:25] relations of Israel a different way,
[00:45:29] different from what Netanyahu was suggesting a super
[00:45:32] sparta, he said in on
[00:45:35] the in the Kness that he sees himself as the
[00:45:38] Israeli church. that
[00:45:41] offers kind
[00:45:44] of blood tears and
[00:45:48] sweat with no deadline,
[00:45:51] and the other problem is that even the
[00:45:55] Israeli opposition, the leaders the
[00:45:58] parties that will probably be in power are not
[00:46:02] mentioning anything about withdrawal from Lebanon
[00:46:06] or even talking about the two state solution and
[00:46:10] "there is no leadership that is suggesting
[00:46:13] a deadline for the Israeli
[00:46:16] occupation and timeline. they are talking
[00:46:20] about sequence, first they have to stop terrorism, first we
[00:46:24] have to this make sure that to disarm
[00:46:27] hizballah and the hamas, but they
[00:46:31] don't offer anything, they are blaming government for
[00:46:34] outsourcing Israel security, outsourcing to the
[00:46:38] lebanese government." to president Trump when it comes to
[00:46:42] Iran and to the new peace
[00:46:45] council
[00:46:54] up on something that Rami had said, he he seems to have some confidence
[00:46:57] that Hesbullah would act in good
[00:47:01] faith if um Israel were to to
[00:47:04] withdraw. However, Hezbulah says that these talks alone have
[00:47:08] brought so much, shame and humiliation to Lebanon, but at the
[00:47:12] same time many Lebaneses actually feel humiliated by
[00:47:15] Hezbulah, because it's a non-state actor that they say
[00:47:19] has seated their sovereignty to a foreign
[00:47:22] power and that the Hezball goes goes ahead and makes unilateral
[00:47:26] decisions to attack Israel and then complains on behalf of
[00:47:30] Iran for that matter and then complains that the constitution is being
[00:47:34] violated because they didn't get to agree to
[00:47:37] negotiations, so how dangerous is that
[00:47:41] difference of opinion alone within
[00:47:44] Lebanon? I
[00:48:01] we have now two visions of foreign policies in libanon,
[00:48:05] one
[00:48:05] is batic on what's happening on talks, the other one is
[00:48:09] betting on on the talks with directly with Israel through
[00:48:13] yes mediation and neither can reach very
[00:48:17] clear solution, now we have a framework
[00:48:20] agreement, we have especially security. next, you mentioned the pilot
[00:48:24] zones, they don't address the core the problem, which has been
[00:48:28] in the last two years since the last is fire in November
[00:48:32] 2024, is how you deal with the issue of disarmument and
[00:48:36] withdrawal? they tried the step by step, netanyahu government
[00:48:40] refused, now they are trying to built
[00:48:42] zone, there are
[00:48:46] some structural problems in the security annex that makes the
[00:48:50] the framework agreement unable to reach that, it's gna stop. at some point because neither
[00:48:53] Israel neither and there are no
[00:48:57] mechanism to force them to do this, so the agreement was was signed
[00:49:01] on the assumption that hisballah will voluntary
[00:49:04] accept, because neither Israel government
[00:49:08] can disarm by force as we saw in in the
[00:49:11] last year, so it's a very complex issue, part of
[00:49:15] it, it has to related to decision tehran because
[00:49:19] the iran talks, part of it are libanese.
[00:49:22] Israeli long decades of of
[00:49:26] tension, especially what most
[00:49:30] of Levi perceive as continuous Israeli
[00:49:34] aggression as we see in the last strick in Beirout just before the last
[00:49:37] spire and we have problems inside Lebanon which is the relation
[00:49:41] between the government and how it will be after
[00:49:45] after these these stocks or whatever is happening on the
[00:49:48] border so those are all complex issue but but "the
[00:49:52] framework agreement presented by the US now in these
[00:49:56] talks doesn't dissolve resolve the same the core dilemma or the
[00:50:00] core problem uh and what's happening
[00:50:09] this several times now, you tell us how much
[00:50:13] you think the peace process in Lebanon is just
[00:50:16] contingent on the US war on Iran and
[00:50:20] the position Tehran takes and the position the..." "I
[00:50:24] think they're directly linked, they're not only linked in short term that the Iranians
[00:50:28] are insisting that the fighting stop in Lebanon for the
[00:50:32] US, Iran and Israel, Iran fighting to
[00:50:36] stop, they're linked a very much more
[00:50:40] important and older way, which people in the west, and I think
[00:50:44] in Israel probably, but a Kiva can tell us more on
[00:50:47] that, the people don't understand very well,
[00:50:50] the the..." the middle east today that are
[00:50:54] most active in resisting Israel in the
[00:50:57] US are Lebanon, Palestine,
[00:51:00] Iran. What do those four
[00:51:04] countries have in common? They are the countries that probably have been
[00:51:08] more ravaged, manipulated, occupied,
[00:51:12] humiliated, and and overall
[00:51:16] beaten up by western and or
[00:51:19] Israeli colonial interventions in the...
[00:51:22] 120 years,
[00:51:24] Iran and Yemen, it's
[00:51:28] not by accident that these countries
[00:51:32] together continue to push back, and
[00:51:35] and for and saying, you can't
[00:51:38] forsibly disarm somebody like
[00:51:41] Hisballah, because they've tried it in Gaza with
[00:51:45] Hamas with a massive force destroying
[00:51:48] Gaza, and they've tried it in Iran and it hasn't worked.
[00:51:53] you so if if the Israelis and americans are
[00:51:57] and and palestine they're not going to get
[00:52:01] anywhere in lebanon that's why they've come up with this
[00:52:05] sort of make believe political process
[00:52:08] in Lebanon, starting in Rome, which is nice place to
[00:52:12] start, because it's a great place to visit, but now
[00:52:15] they're really not getting anywhere very significant because they're
[00:52:19] running up against the core issue of of
[00:52:23] Hisballah has to be involved any negotiations like the
[00:52:27] Vietcon war, like the Taliban were and like Hamas was, eventually
[00:52:31] you've got to sit with Hisballah and the Lebanese government all together.
[00:52:35] "I don't think the Lebanese government and Hizballah will have a problem in
[00:52:39] reaching an agreement ultimately, the problem is more with the
[00:52:42] Israelis and the and the Americans and
[00:52:46] possibly the Iranians, but yes the linkages are
[00:52:50] are deep and old
[00:52:59] the long-term issue as well, and the question
[00:53:02] over how motivated..." Israel and
[00:53:06] especially certain Israelis are to hold
[00:53:10] to the Lebanese land that they are now occupying, it's
[00:53:13] still part of this greater Israel vision that one would hope with the
[00:53:17] next election will be diminished, but how
[00:53:21] serious are the chances that it won't be diminished, and Israel has every
[00:53:25] motivation to keep holding to the land it's taken,
[00:53:29] believing it is
[00:53:29] theirs.
[00:53:34] the israel people have lost faith
[00:53:37] in the
[00:53:38] in the kness, in the government, and this
[00:53:42] is as I mentioned, this is something that
[00:53:46] hopefully will change in October,
[00:53:49] but we hope that the next prime minister will
[00:53:53] probably be the best chances is Gudy
[00:53:57] Isencop, who was a chief of
[00:53:59] staff, and I, I know him quite well,
[00:54:03] and I believe that... "unlike
[00:54:06] Netanjau, he doesn't believe that the name the
[00:54:10] game is catch as much as you can
[00:54:13] territories, if the hizballah
[00:54:16] will strike the Israeli northern
[00:54:20] communities, then we will occupy five
[00:54:24] kilometers, then if they strike the Israeli
[00:54:28] soldiers or they undermine
[00:54:32] the Israeli occupation along the new lines. 'then
[00:54:35] we capture more land, this is the
[00:54:39] same thing they are doing in Gaza,
[00:54:42] holding more than 60% the
[00:54:46] territories of Gaza, and in the west bank next year we
[00:54:50] will mark 60 years to the occupation the west
[00:54:54] bank, and if you ask the Israeli, the
[00:54:58] average Israeli, who most them were born after
[00:55:02] 67, born into the CQ
[00:55:06] of occupation, they will tell you that we can't afford to give
[00:55:09] up territories, because this is the only
[00:55:12] guarantee we have
[00:55:15] for our security, they will tell you, no, we are not interested
[00:55:19] in territories, it's all about security, now you need
[00:55:23] a third party here, and the Israelis have
[00:55:27] to know that there is something else that they can lose, it's not
[00:55:31] just security, and security is not equal.
[00:55:35] to territories, as Rami said, this is
[00:55:38] colonialism, and colonialism is b for me, is
[00:55:42] bad for my children, because the
[00:55:46] Palestinians or the Lebanese, more than 300 thousand
[00:55:50] people, including children and old
[00:55:53] people, will not forget what's happening in 26, it will
[00:55:57] take decades to come to terms with the existence
[00:56:01] of Israel and to believe the Israelies that...
[00:56:05] what is not what Netanyaho was suggesting,
[00:56:08] an extra large Sparta?
[00:56:12] okay and peace initiative waiting
[00:56:16] for us on the shelf and we just need to pick it
[00:56:27] as we mentioned, it was the six-year anniversary the Bayroot port
[00:56:31] explosion, and Lebanon's information minister has said,
[00:56:35] that indictments will be issued within months uh, in
[00:56:38] part because they're no longer hindered by the former
[00:56:42] government. i'm bringing this up because it is so important to talk about the
[00:56:46] state of Lebanon internally, so will the
[00:56:50] Lebanese people finally get justice and accountability,
[00:56:54] and is this finally a real opportunity for this government to
[00:56:57] deliver something to the people and build the confidence that
[00:57:01] it really needs, or do you fear it will become more?
[00:57:05] divisive, hope that
[00:57:09] i was on the march on august 4th that went
[00:57:12] from downtown to the port and and you see the families of
[00:57:16] of of ' of those
[00:57:18] who who died on that day and you see that after six
[00:57:21] years, it's not about what the the
[00:57:25] state did do or not do, but it what allowed
[00:57:28] to happen that you have those natural ammonium basically that
[00:57:32] crossed all the security person personnel in in the airport and
[00:57:36] arrived, until now not one person was
[00:57:40] was detained, not one press conference by any government official to explain
[00:57:44] the process, there's now indictment. going through
[00:57:48] clearance, there's now public pressure to
[00:57:52] release it by the end the year, we are hearing that the maybe
[00:57:56] there are 70 might be indicted, it's it's going to be
[00:57:59] cross political class, not only
[00:58:01] one one major political
[00:58:04] party, we have 2019 the collapse
[00:58:08] and all the what happened, so we we
[00:58:11] have a state basically who killed this people
[00:58:15] and let the financial collapse. and is unable
[00:58:19] to to have clear foreign policy and protect the border, so this is
[00:58:22] defining moment, i think for the gar government, for the guard president to basically
[00:58:26] allow to have some to
[00:58:30] make sure that there's a trial and to make sure
[00:58:34] that this not gna repeat again,
[00:58:37] because it's hard to imagine
[00:58:41] i think what the big of explosion was on august
[00:58:45] 45, and it it could... a unifier if handled
[00:58:49] finally with real accountability, but unfortunately joe, we're going to have to
[01:00:29] Oman have reached an understanding over the straight of Ormoz, now
[01:00:32] reportedly agreeing on coordinates for route. US President
[01:00:36] Donald Trump is also optimistic saying he prefers diplomacy over
[01:00:39] war. An agreement is expected soon that could ease traffic
[01:00:43] flow through the waterway, critical to global supply chains.
[01:00:47] Israel ramps up attacks on southern Lebanon despite a
[01:00:51] ceasefire, both sides are also holding talks and room about an end
[01:00:54] to Israely occupation in parts of Lebanon and creating pilot
[01:00:58] zones for the country to take over after Israel's withdrawal. Tel Aviv
[01:01:02] blames Hezballah for the recent flare-up after two soldiers were...
