00:00The Hezbollah announced this Wednesday that it will continue its operations of support
00:29to Gaza despite the deadly wave of explosions of Bipers that it targeted and that the Lebanese movement aims at Israel.
00:40And then the war in Sudan, Joe Biden calls on belligerents to resume negotiations to put an end to the fight that has lasted since April 2003 and has been going on for tens of thousands of months.
00:52In this newspaper also, a double terrorist attack on Tuesday in the capital of Mali, an attack claimed by Al-Qaeda and which caused some losses in human lives among the military.
01:09The Hezbollah announced this Wednesday that it will continue its operations of support to Gaza despite the deadly wave of explosions of Bipers that it targeted and that the Lebanese movement aims at Israel.
01:25He said in a statement published on Telegram that this voice was distinct from the difficult assessment that Israel must wait for its massacre on Tuesday.
01:37Note that the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo has denied the information according to which it would have manufactured the Bipers used by members of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, which exploded simultaneously the day before.
01:51These are not our products, said the CEO of the company to journalists in Taipei.
01:58He reacted to information published by the daily New York Times, stating that the Bipers would have been ordered by Gold Apollo.
02:06In Lebanon, several Bipers have exploded simultaneously in several regions.
02:17Nine people were killed, including two Hezbollah members and a girl.
02:22Nearly 2,800 people were injured.
02:25The movement accuses Israel of being at the origin of this piracy.
02:30Explosions everywhere in the country, deaths and injuries in the explosion of Bipers belonging to Hezbollah members in Lebanon.
02:40According to the Lebanese Minister of Health, most of the victims were injured in the face, hands, stomach and even eyes.
02:48This afternoon, around 3.30 p.m., a large number of injured people began to flee to hospitals.
02:56Injuries were caused by the explosion of communication devices.
03:04Telemetry warns that the victims were carrying. The number of victims was very high.
03:13According to security sources, the explosions came from radio and messaging devices that members of the Lebanese armed group used for encrypted internal communications.
03:23The Lebanese National Information Agency reported an unprecedented security incident that took place in the southern suburbs of Beirut, as well as in many Lebanese regions.
03:35The same opinion is shared by the Lebanese movement, which claimed that it was Israeli piracy.
03:40In a statement, the party claimed that Israel is fully responsible for the explosion and will receive its fair punishment.
03:47This is the first incident of this kind since the beginning of the violence between Hezbollah and Israel nearly a year ago.
03:54The trans-frontal violence triggered in the wake of the war in the Gaza Strip has caused hundreds of deaths and injuries.
04:04For Khairallah Khairallah, Lebanese journalist, Hezbollah pays the price for starting a war against Israel.
04:12Together, we listen to him.
04:14Hezbollah decided to start a war against Israel.
04:20They are now paying the price for this decision.
04:23It's very simple.
04:25Israel is not a charity.
04:29Hezbollah is a prisoner of Iran.
04:40He took Lebanon hostage.
04:45He did not consult neither the Lebanese government nor the Lebanese parties before starting this war.
04:53The Lebanese are paying the price for this decision, which is a real Iranian decision.
05:00We could put it in a much bigger context, namely the expansionist project of Iran in the region.
05:14It is part of a bigger war.
05:17I don't know how it will develop, but I think it's a war.
05:23We are in a state of war in Lebanon.
05:26It's as simple as that.
05:29Hezbollah is responsible for this war.
05:32As I said before, Israel is not a charity.
05:36Israel is paying for this war.
05:40It's wild.
05:42It's all you want.
05:44Use all the terms you want.
05:46Lebanon has nothing to do with all this.
05:48The Lebanese are innocent.
05:50The Lebanese are the victims of this war.
05:53The Lebanese are the victims of all the confessions.
05:56Shiites, Sunnis, Christians, Druze, whatever you want.
05:59The Lebanese are the victims of this Iranian decision to launch a war from the south of Lebanon using Hezbollah.
06:22The U.S. Opened a judicial inquiry to stop the truthfulness of these facts and the circumstances of the distribution of these photos.
06:35We continue with the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
06:40He arrived this Wednesday at dawn in Cairo for a clear visit with his Egyptian ally on the brink of an untraceable ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, according to the U.S. Department of State.
06:56The U.S. Secretary of State, the head of U.S. diplomacy, must meet with the Egyptian leader, Al-Fatiha Hassisi, and co-chair a strategic dialogue meeting between the U.S. and Egypt.
07:09The spokesman for the U.S. Department of State, Matthew Miller, emphasized that most of Blinken's discussions were about how to obtain a proposal to obtain a two-party agreement.
07:22He refused to set a schedule for the presentation of this proposal.
07:29The U.S. President Joe Biden called yesterday the parties to the conflict in Sudan to resume negotiations to put an end to the war that has been going on since April 2023 and has caused tens of thousands of deaths, pushing the country to the brink of famine.
07:50I call on the belligerents to withdraw their forces, facilitate humanitarian access and re-engage in negotiations to put an end to this war, he said in a statement published a few days after fierce fighting broke out again in Darfur.
08:07The U.S. President reiterated that this war has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with nearly 10 million displaced.
08:19The war broke out in April 2023 between the army led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the FSR led by his former adjutant Mohamed Hamdan Daglou.
08:33In Mali, gunfire resumed yesterday in the capital, the school of gendarmerie and an area of the military airport of Bamako were targeted.
08:48A double attack claimed by the Geneva, a terrorist group, to Al-Qaeda.
08:53Al-Qaeda authorities assure that the situation is under control according to the state majority.
08:59This attack caused some losses in human lives, including gendarmerie students, facilities and equipment were also affected in the airport area.
09:13I suggest you listen to General Omar Diara, head of the Malian army.
09:18The terrorists who were infiltrated have been neutralized, the eradication continues.
09:23The accomplices are now working to recover the accomplices, to control the situation.
09:29It is our job, we are professionals.
09:31I would also like to ask the population to provide information.
09:35I think the support has been very substantial, it has been possible to recover the suspects who were there.
09:40The situation is under control.
09:42We have just seen all the terrorists who have been neutralized here.
09:45The point is being made, the evaluations will be made.
09:48I would like to ask the Malian population.
09:50This situation is deliberate.
09:54We are all Malians, people do not work, they put us back to back.
09:58We must avoid amalgamations.
10:01If the situation is not like that, the first responsibility is on the Malian forces.
10:05Direction now the Senegal, where in the context of the eradication of the accounts,
10:10the judicial financial pool was installed on Tuesday.
10:13In this context, some members of the former regime,
10:17targeted by these investigations, are forbidden to leave the territory.
10:21The civil society calls for respect for the principles of individual rights and freedoms.
10:26Reporting from Marème Adiop and Moussa N'Diaye.
10:29Following the various reports of the bodies of control,
10:33the Senegalese judicial authorities will soon begin the process of redress of the accounts.
10:38A way to now guarantee transparency in the management of public property,
10:43some officials of the outgoing regime are even forbidden to leave the national territory.
10:49A decision that raises questions.
10:52We got up one day,
10:54then the people who travel, we call them.
10:59So for that, I think, we think that these are measures that are taken by the act.
11:05While we are in a dynamic of respect for democratic principles,
11:09in a dynamic of respect for the rule of law,
11:12in a dynamic of respect for a democracy.
11:15And for that, the civil society,
11:18in any case, every time there are acts that are imposed,
11:22that are against democratic principles, the civil society is forced.
11:27In the redress of the accounts, respect for human rights is a fundamental principle.
11:33It is in this context that the Senegalese League for Human Rights has launched a call, in this sense.
11:39People will have to accept, at the level of the state,
11:42to first make all the necessary notifications,
11:45that this happens within the rules of law,
11:48that justice itself takes care of the matter.
11:50We can not imagine that an administration can make the decision
11:57to intervene in the choice of territory.
12:00It is totally incomprehensible.
12:02Moreover, Article 91 of the Constitution
12:06provides that the judiciary is the guarantor of individual freedoms.
12:10In addition, the Penal Procedure Code and the law relating to the financial judiciary
12:15offer the possibility to the instructional bodies to restrict individual freedoms.
12:21In the case of an investigation, the only bodies able to forbid a Senegalese citizen
12:27not to leave the territory and be at the disposal of justice,
12:31are the judicial bodies.
12:33For the phase of prosecution, you have the prosecutor of the Republic.
12:37For the phase of instruction, we have the judge of instruction when the instruction is mandatory.
12:41The Senegalese government has announced the effective implementation
12:46of the recount in the next few days.
12:49This is because of the economic situation,
12:52the extent of the presumed corruption
12:55and a bad governance in the management of public denial.
13:00And right away, to the guest of the major newspaper, Media Morning,
13:05the member states of the UN have been debating since yesterday
13:10a Palestinian resolution project demanding the end of the Israeli occupation
13:16of Palestinian territories in the next 12 months.
13:20Texts in the probable adoption already provoke the anger of Israel.
13:26To talk about it, we are live with Amjad Shehab,
13:30political science professor at the University of Al-Quds.
13:35Hello, Professor Amjad Shehab.
13:38Thank you for accepting our invitation.
13:45Hello, thank you for inviting me.
13:48The Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories has been going on for decades.
13:54There have already been a dozen UN resolutions since 1967.
14:00What can this resolution change?
14:07There are 770 just resolutions of the National Assembly
14:17and about 40 resolutions of the Security Council.
14:21We are talking about hundreds, not dozens.
14:24And I think that in the absence of a political will of the West,
14:32I think that all these resolutions will have the same problem,
14:37which is to apply it.
14:39There is no will or decision to apply these resolutions.
14:44These resolutions are just to make up the international organization
14:49that is there to give you illusions,
14:57that there is hope to do something.
15:00I don't think that these resolutions will ever come to fruition
15:05with this imbalance of power,
15:08especially considering Israel as an ally and partner with the West.
15:15This is the real problem.
15:17The Palestinian cause has paid dearly.
15:20It still pays dearly.
15:22This is a conflict of commercial, political and military interests
15:32with the West,
15:35with an absence of justice,
15:39an absence of giving the right to self-determination to the Palestinian people
15:42and an absence of promise that the Palestinian people have had
15:46for decades to create a Palestinian state.
15:49Until today, this state has not seen the light of day
15:53because of all these contradictions,
15:56these illusions,
15:59this hypocrisy
16:01and this crisis of immorality of the organization of the National Assembly.
16:07Very well.
16:09While the Security Council is largely paralyzed on this issue,
16:13the General Assembly has several times adopted texts in support of the Palestinians.
16:17Do you think that this could increase the growing pressure on Israel?
16:27Israel has not, until now, for about 74 years,
16:32with all the crimes against humanity,
16:36crimes of war, crimes of genocide and massacres,
16:41we have seen a real carnage in Gaza for more than 11 months.
16:48Israel has not undergone any sanctions,
16:52not even the slightest thing,
16:57is to withdraw the impassades of Tel Aviv
17:02to make at least diplomatic sanctions.
17:05Israel has not received effective pressure until now.
17:10We hear a lot about condemnation, verbal wars,
17:15just verbal statements,
17:17but in practice there is a large space
17:25that Netanyahu takes advantage of to do whatever he wants,
17:29with a fragility and paralysis of the Arab world
17:32and a silence of the International Committee.
17:36Unfortunately, without sanctions and without taking measures against,
17:41especially to boycott goods or put pressure on the United States,
17:50I think Israel will continue to carry out all these massacres, all these carnages.
17:55We saw yesterday how they blew up the devices used by civilians,
18:03mostly in Lebanon.
18:05This is a war led by Israel,
18:08an immoral war completely without any principle,
18:13especially dividing civilians, killing tens of thousands of children and women,
18:19isolated civilians who have no way to defend themselves.
18:24This is a real immoral war,
18:28a war against humanity,
18:31a war against all the principles and humanist values in the world.
18:37To speak of a truce in the Gaza Strip under the aegis of the United States, Egypt and Qatar,
18:45would it be in the impasse?
18:53Yes, we are not talking about a truce.
18:55The Palestinians do not want a truce.
18:57The Palestinians do not seek humanitarian aid.
19:00The Palestinians seek freedom.
19:03We do not need a truce in the Gaza Strip.
19:04We need the end of the war.
19:07The inhabitants demand the end,
19:10to stop the war, the massacres,
19:12to stop this carnage.
19:14All these discussions, I think it is irresponsible to talk about a truce,
19:19just to free the prisoners in the hands of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
19:28I think it is a world that is experiencing a real moral crisis.
19:32Every day, they massacre Palestinians and civilians,
19:37and they focus on a hundred Israeli prisoners.
19:42Every day, we lose a hundred wounded and martyrs in the Gaza Strip,
19:51with all these phases of destruction,
19:54with the blockade, the bitumen,
19:57the people who die because they lack care.
19:59All this is going to be an element of this international community,
20:11which is truly a hypocritical, immoral and irresponsible community,
20:18to treat the Gaza Strip with a two-step policy
20:23compared to the war in Ukraine.
20:26We suffer from this immorality that we see.
20:33It is against all principles, against all humanistic values,
20:38against all rights.
20:40All these incessant violations,
20:43every second, every minute, every day, every week,
20:48with all these tens of thousands of martyrs,
20:50it was not enough for this world to at least awaken its conscience,
20:58to at least save the children and the women who are here.
21:03Professor Abjad Chihab, on a humanitarian level,
21:09according to the United Nations, 80% of the population of the Gaza Strip
21:14is displaced and several people, including children, are dying of malnutrition.
21:20It is the same for the water.
21:23UN experts accuse the Israeli army of thirsting the population.
21:32Yes, we are dealing with a lawless state,
21:38a fascist, Nazi state that does whatever it wants.
21:42It determines the whole sense of humanity,
21:49the catastrophes, the crimes it has been committing for 12 months.
21:59And after the end of the war,
22:02we will discover the size of these crimes, of this savagery,
22:06and the most shocking thing is that this world speaks of thirst,
22:12it speaks of humanitarian aid, it does not speak of this state,
22:15we must stop this state that threatens the stability of the region,
22:19threatens peace in the world.
22:22In this way, we are talking about wild animals
22:27that are living in a world in the 20th century
22:31that does everything that the brain of a human being cannot imagine.
22:40How do they liquidate children?
22:43How do they bomb refugee areas?
22:47How did they destroy all the mosques, hundreds of mosques, hundreds of schools?
22:53They destroyed all the universities, the infrastructure.
22:57These are not military targets.
22:58They try to break the will of the Palestinian people,
23:07to put the Palestinians on their knees.
23:10In this way, even the images,
23:15we did not even see it in the Second World War,
23:17even the regimes of the Nazis,
23:18they debased the crimes that the Nazis committed against the Europeans in the Second World War.
23:29What we see today with the silence of the International Committee
23:34and the paralysis and weakness of the Arab world,
23:37it is unimaginable.
23:39I think that history will speak, perhaps in the coming generations,
23:42of this crisis never seen in the history of humanity.
23:49To let an army of such savagery continue to massacre a people
23:56that is fighting for its independence, its self-determination.
24:00Concerning Professor Amjad Shihab,
24:03concerning the new turning point on the Israel-Hezbollah front,
24:08the explosions of Bipers have killed ten people in Lebanon.
24:13Do you think that this is the prelude to other attacks?
24:17What would be the consequences for the region?
24:25The conflict is simple.
24:27Hezbollah is asking to stop the war, the massacre,
24:32the genocide, the carnage on the Gaza Strip.
24:35And everything will stop.
24:37Israel wants to continue these massacres, this carnage on the Gaza Strip.
24:43They are also trying to bring down Hezbollah.
24:46What they did yesterday,
24:48most of the people who use these devices are doctors, nurses,
24:53are civilians in general who use this system of devices.
24:57They didn't even think that there would be civilian victims
25:01or innocent victims used in such a way.
25:07I think it's an immoral attack on international law.
25:16It's not like that.
25:18They are trying to take away a victory.
25:22We don't take away a victory on the blood of victims, of civilians, in such a way.
25:27They are destroying all the civilian houses in the south of Lebanon
25:33to create a security zone,
25:36instead of looking for a satisfying political solution for everyone.
25:43Unfortunately, they are trying to continue the expansion,
25:48they are trying to recover our people,
25:50they are trying to dominate, they are trying to massacre others.
25:53It's not a mentality.
25:54You can find a solution in power.
25:58And if someone wants to live with it,
26:02they are looking for a political solution,
26:05instead of always trying to wage war against everyone.
26:09Professor Amjad Shehab, we are coming to the end of our section.
26:14Thank you for this insight.
26:16And I remind you that you are a professor of political science at the University of Arkansas.
