00:00Welcome everyone, happy to see you again in this new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:26There was a war between Hamas and Hezbollah yesterday, dozens of deaths, including Israeli strikes in Gaza and Lebanon, including many children.
00:38Arab and Muslim leaders converged in Riyadh for an extraordinary Islamic Arab summit on the current situation in Gaza and Lebanon.
00:48The head of the government, Aziz Arnoush, arrived in Riyadh on Sunday evening to represent His Majesty the King Mohammed VI at this summit.
01:0115 Chadian soldiers were killed in a clash that also left 32 injured on Saturday between the army and terrorists in Boko Haram.
01:11This is what the State Department said in a statement on Sunday.
01:19Israel carried out strikes on Sunday in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, which resulted in dozens of deaths, including many children, according to Palestinian and Lebanese sources.
01:30In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian civil defense carried out strikes on Sunday, including at least 25 deaths, including 13 children, in a strike that targeted a house in Jabalia, in the north of the Palestinian territory.
01:41Another Israeli strike hit a house in Gaza City, also in the north, killing five people, according to the civil defense.
01:51In Lebanon, on the northern border, the Israeli army carried out strikes on the south and east of the country.
01:58In the east, at least 12 people were killed in strikes in the Baalabak region and three others in the village of al-Qasr, said the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
02:07In the south, three rescuers were killed in a strike against their headquarters in Adlon, said the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
02:15An Israeli strike also hit a region in northern Beirut yesterday, killing at least 23 people, including seven children, in the village of al-Mads, said the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
02:25The head of the government, Aziz Arnouch, arrived on Sunday evening in Riyadh, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to represent His Majesty King Mohammed VI at the extraordinary Islamic Arab summit.
02:41Upon his arrival at the international airport of King Khaled, Aziz Arnouch was welcomed by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman bin Abdulaziz, vice governor of the Riyadh region.
02:55The head of the government will be accompanied at this summit, scheduled for Monday, at the invitation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the African Cooperation of Moroccan Foreign Residents, Nasser Boureda.
03:08The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had called for this summit in order to examine the developments of the situation in the region in the light of the pursuit of the Israeli war against Gaza and Lebanon.
03:25The leaders of the Arab and Muslim countries began arriving on Sunday in Saudi Arabia for a summit, which will be dedicated on Monday to the war between Israel and Gaza and Lebanon.
03:41This is what the Saudi state press reported.
03:44At this summit, the participants will discuss, in particular, the continued Israeli aggression in the Palestinian territories.
03:53In Lebanon, the Saudi official agency, the Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Faisal bin Farhan, had called for this summit at the end of October during a meeting in Riyadh of a new international alliance aimed at encouraging the creation of a Palestinian state.
04:10The Monday meeting takes place a year after a similar summit in Riyadh of the Arab League, based in Cairo, and the OCI, based in Jeddah, during which the Arab and Muslim leaders had condemned the barbaric actions of the Israeli forces in Gaza.
04:27Can we conclude that all the attempts made since the beginning of the year by the Qatari, Egyptian and American mediators to stop the fire in Gaza have failed?
04:40Let's listen to the analysis of Amjad Cheheb, political analyst.
04:44Absolutely. I think that today we are under enormous pressure from the American administration on the Hamas movement.
04:59They are trying to stop the Hamas movement from making huge concessions in favor of the Israeli conditions.
05:08Israel refuses categorically to withdraw from the Gaza Strip. It is a condition condemned by the Hamas movement.
05:19They also refuse to give a scenario on the liberation of the Palestinian prisoners.
05:26They also refuse to accept a durable ceasefire. They are trying to continue the war.
05:33It is illogical on the Palestinian side, especially on the Hamas side, to accept the liberation of six prisoners against the return of the war.
05:45The only condition they are asking for is to put an end to the military aggression of the Lebanese army.
05:55I think that the American administration is facing a lot of pressure.
06:03Qatar is also trying to blackmail the Hamas movement.
06:09If they do not accept, they will be forced to expel the political leadership of the Hamas movement from Qatar.
06:22The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said he is ready to submit to the confidence vote of the deputies this year
06:31in order to accelerate the legislative election organization anticipated after the rupture of his governmental coalition.
06:38Last Wednesday, he mentioned the date of January 15 to ask the question of confidence with the legislative elections at the end of March.
06:46Germany needs a new democratically legitimate government.
06:52Did he declare, after the confidence vote, that Scholz should be re-elected?
06:58In addition to a sufficient majority in parliament, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will have 21 days to dissolve the Bundestag
07:05and new elections should take place within 60 days.
07:08Since the explosion on Wednesday of the governmental coalition initially formed by the social democrats of Olaf Scholz,
07:16ecologists and liberals, due to profound disagreements on economic policy,
07:22the pressure is increasing on the Chancellor for the rapid organization of elections.
07:28Direction Sochi, where Nassar Jalaboleta is preparing for the first ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum.
07:38This first conference, which brings together the ministers of foreign affairs of the Russian Federation and the African states,
07:46aims to identify perspectives of future cooperation to better meet the expectations and aspirations of the African states.
07:55The vision of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI for partnerships and development in Africa
08:01and royal initiatives for the continent has been highlighted by Nassar Jalaboleta.
08:12Still in Sochi, where Nassar Jalaboleta also met with Sergey Lavrov,
08:18the opportunity to discuss bilateral issues and exchange views on regional and international issues of common interest.
08:27The rich and old relations between Morocco and Russia are supported by the deepened strategic partnership
08:34launched by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI and President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the royal visit to Moscow in 2016.
08:48Russia promises its total support to African countries.
08:52At a conference held in Sochi on November 9 and 10,
08:58the event, which brought together about 50 African countries,
09:03followed the Russian-African Summit of 2019 and 2023.
09:09The ambition is clear. Russia wants to impose itself as an essential partner of Africa.
09:17The city of Sochi hosted this weekend a Russian-African ministerial conference.
09:24The African continent must be and will be one of the centers of the multipolar world,
09:29said Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, at the closing ceremony of this conference.
09:35We are happy to note that the pace set by the two previous summits contributes to developing our relations on a growing scale.
09:47We see progress in all areas.
09:50I would like to note a significant increase in the number of contacts at the highest level and ministerial level.
09:56In particular, during bilateral meetings on the eve of the conference in progress,
09:59agreements were concluded on several specific projects and memorandums were signed in various areas.
10:12According to Lavrov, Russia and African countries see progress in all areas of their cooperation,
10:18despite the artificial obstacles posed by the collective Occident,
10:23a term used by Moscow to designate the United States as their ally.
10:26He also ensured that the Russians and Africans consider it necessary to get rid of dependence on global mechanisms
10:34controlled by the West, especially in the financial field.
10:37This conference took place after the BRICS summit in October in Kazan,
10:41where Vladimir Putin wanted to demonstrate the failure of the isolation and sanctions policy committed by the West.
10:48At the moment, 15 soldiers have been killed in a clash,
10:53which also caused 32 injuries on Saturday between the army and the terrorists of Boko Haram.
10:59This is what the state major said yesterday in a statement.
11:03Unfortunately, the security forces deplored 15 soldiers who fell on the field of honor
11:09and 32 injured who were all evacuated to N'Djamena for appropriate care,
11:14said General Issa Ha-Sheikh Shannan, Brigadier General and spokesman for the army.
11:21The striking fact of this heavy assessment of the rank and file
11:26is among the victims, according to local media,
11:29who relayed the lists of names of Chadian soldiers killed or injured on Saturday.
11:35At the end of October, an attack by the terrorist group Boko Haram
11:39against a military base in the Nakhchad region
11:43killed about 40 people, according to the Chadian authorities.
11:51Now let's hear from the guest of the major newspaper,
11:55Média 1, Morning Riyadh,
11:58welcomes this Monday an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
12:05on the current situation in Gaza and Lebanon.
12:07Morocco is participating and is represented by the head of the government, Aziz Akhannou,
12:12with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Frequent Cooperation
12:16and Moroccans living abroad.
12:19A summit that aims to strengthen the solidarity of the international Muslim community towards Gaza and Lebanon
12:27and to explore ways to promote sustainable peace in the region.
12:32To talk about it, we are live with Zeina Tebbi, journalist.
12:37Founder of the Arab Women's Association of La Presse in Fakom, Paris.
12:43Hello Mrs. Zeina Tebbi and thank you for being with us.
12:47Hello, thank you.
12:50So, this extraordinary summit opens today,
12:55a summit dedicated to the situation in Gaza and Lebanon.
12:59What is the issue of this summit in the current context?
13:04Well, first of all, I would like to say that it was time to meet
13:09and to think a little about the problem.
13:13It's been more than a year since the Gaza Strip was destroyed, massacred, etc.
13:20It's a real genocide. Today we are starving them.
13:24So it was time to think about finding solutions.
13:29For more than two months now, Israel has been destroying Lebanon.
13:36They have destroyed historical sites, be it in Tyre, be it in Baalbek, etc.
13:44So we hope, Lebanese and Palestinians,
13:48we hope that the Arab leaders will be able to reason the madness of the Israeli government.
13:58In fact, it is the Arab or Islamic countries that are meeting.
14:05There are divergences between them.
14:08Because you have some who have made agreements with Israel.
14:12So they can play an important role.
14:15Others who are against, if you will, what is happening
14:19and who have not normalized their relationship with Israel.
14:23So we have to see how they will manage their divergences.
14:28That's on the one hand.
14:30But if you will, for example, Pakistan,
14:35which is represented, I think, by its Minister of Foreign Affairs,
14:39asks to stop the genocide in Gaza.
14:42Let's hope it will be heard.
14:46On the other hand, we are talking about the creation of a Palestinian state.
14:53But on what basis?
14:55Because currently those who represent the Palestinian people
15:01are Hamas in the Gaza Strip or Mr. Abbas in the West Bank.
15:07Mr. Abbas is the president, but he does not represent the Palestinians.
15:14He is not appreciated.
15:16So with whom should we create this Palestinian state?
15:23Because Israel will also accept.
15:26For example, you have Palestinian politicians who are appreciated,
15:30like Balrouti, but who is in prison.
15:33And the Israelis do not want to release him.
15:36So we do not know on what basis we can today
15:41really establish a Palestinian state.
15:45That's on the one hand.
15:47With the latest developments in the region,
15:50the conflict in the Middle East is at the heart of all concerns.
15:55What are, in your opinion, the main resolutions
16:00awaited at the end of this summit?
16:04The resolutions awaited are actually to stop the fire.
16:10That Israel stops bombing Lebanon and massacring the Palestinian population.
16:17So to have a ceasefire.
16:19That's what I was saying.
16:21Are we going to be able to do it?
16:23Mr. Netanyahu has no interest in stopping the war.
16:28He just declared that he wanted to report the court
16:33where he will be sentenced for malversation.
16:42And because of the war, he reported this sentence.
16:49So he has no interest in stopping the war.
16:52From the start, he was interested in staying in place
16:55and not going to prison.
16:58But there is one thing that is important, if you will,
17:02that is to stop the fire.
17:05The Lebanese Prime Minister had declared two riots
17:09saying that he would like to be able to install the Lebanese army
17:16in southern Lebanon, to consolidate this army,
17:21to give it the means to defend itself
17:25and install the Lebanese army in the south,
17:28which could reassure the Israelis
17:33and calm the Lebanese resistance a little bit.
17:39Could we do that?
17:42But for years, we have forbidden the Lebanese army
17:46to be strong and solid.
17:48Will we give it the chance today?
17:51It would be a solution to stop these massacres.
17:56Even in Lebanon, there were more than 3,000 deaths.
18:00Nobody talks about it.
18:02It's terrible.
18:04Every day, every day, Israel bombards.
18:05Yesterday, they destroyed an entire building
18:09where there were families inside.
18:11Among the dead, there were three children.
18:14So, will we find a solution? I don't know.
18:19Now, obviously, we are waiting for Donald Trump's installation
18:26at the White House to see which direction he will take.
18:31Will he be able to put pressure on Israeli politics
18:37to calm down, to stop this war?
18:41We don't know. We have to wait and see.
18:44But today, the Arab countries and the Muslim countries
18:49should be able to play a role.
18:51I hope that this meeting at the summit will give results.
18:56Will it be as usual, words in the air?
18:58Because they couldn't do otherwise.
19:02Exactly, Madam Zainab Tibi.
19:05Speaking of the participation of the Kingdom of Morocco,
19:09Morocco is taking the opportunity to renew its constant support
19:13for a Palestinian state towards a solution to two states.
19:17What do you think?
19:19A support that, let's remember, was put forward
19:22by the representative of Palestine
19:25to the OCI, Riad Mansour,
19:29during the 50th session of the OCI Council in August.
19:35Yes, His Majesty has always had a position
19:40to defend the Palestinians, to defend Al-Quds.
19:46So, it has always been a constant as a policy.
19:51Now, the problem, you see,
19:55when you have positions like Morocco,
20:00will it be listened to?
20:03I don't know.
20:05We don't know what the real goal is
20:10of this Israeli government that goes all the way to Buddhism.
20:15That's why I hope it won't be just words in the air
20:19and that just to pretend that we are meeting
20:23to be able to help the Palestinian population
20:26and the Lebanese population.
20:28You know, there is politics at the top
20:32and there are populations everywhere.
20:35It's boiling.
20:38So, we should calm down.
20:40I don't know where we're going with this.
20:43I don't know.
20:45It's quite important.
20:46It's important to reassure the Arab street a little bit.
20:52To reassure them by saying,
20:54yes, we are here and we are going to do our best
20:57to achieve something positive.
21:00You have just spoken about divergences.
21:04Do you think that the OCI could impose itself
21:08more in spite of certain internal divergences
21:13and in view of the current geopolitical context
21:18with the return of President Donald Trump to the United States?
21:24Yes.
21:26Listen, as you said,
21:29and I said it at the beginning,
21:31there are divergences within the OCI
21:34but there are countries,
21:37as you mentioned Morocco,
21:40we can mention the United Arab Emirates,
21:43who have direct contacts with Israel.
21:47These countries have a very important role to play
21:51in order to transmit messages of peace,
21:55positive messages.
21:57Now, the problem is that
22:00the Arab countries and the Muslim countries
22:04have a position towards peace.
22:08The problem is, who do we have in front of us?
22:10Are the people in front of us,
22:13the people in charge,
22:16ready to make peace and stop these massacres
22:20or do they want to continue?
22:22We don't know.
22:24So, it is up to the countries
22:27who have normalized their contact with Israel.
22:33They have a very important role to play
22:36to transmit messages to the Israeli government
22:40by saying that it is enough,
22:43that we have really exceeded the limits.
22:46That's it.
22:48Apart from that,
22:50we have to see now,
22:52the summit has just begun,
22:54we cannot know exactly what will be said or not.
22:57We have indeed talked about the creation of a Palestinian state.
23:01We have talked about stopping the fire for Lebanon.
23:08I don't know if there has been a discussion
23:13between Lebanon, the United States and Israel
23:20on how to stop the fire.
23:22I have the impression that he has denied this.
23:31But we always know that, diplomatically speaking,
23:34there is always contact,
23:37there is always hope,
23:40hope for peace.
23:42Madam Zeyna.
23:44Madam Zeyna Tibi.
23:46Unfortunately, we are coming to the end of our segment.
23:49Thank you for this clarification.
23:52Thank you for answering our questions.
23:54I remind you that you are a journalist
23:56and founder of the Association of Arab Women
23:58of La Presse at FACOM in Paris.
24:02Have a good day.
24:06This is the end of this edition.
24:09Thank you for staying with us.
24:11The information continues on Mediard TV.
