A mazda washington report and it, because it is signing in void. So you crane with funding israel also this our this is a clear example of a failure of the us policy in the middle east. So the russian president s, as he meets with the iraqi Prime Minister to discuss the escalation, the bible will continue from the rest and capital this tuesday evening, monday. Speak to scott and thank you for tuning in wherever you are. Joining us from the top story, this of the coincides between israel and thomas is escalating the idea of attacking the rough uh, check points digits in florida with gaza twice in the last 24 hours. Im praying the evacuation of refugees, the, the verified footage. Those huge crowds at the Border Crossing currently the only escape route from gaza is that was announced a total blockade of the product of the entire tree restrictions to compound and already diet humanitarian crisis. We spoke with form egyptian diplomats are saying, i read you said that israel siege of gaza is a violation of International Humanitarian law. They want to uh, okay, then issue assistance, medical supplies, food to, to uh, produce any publicity to go so of therapy to, to see that they have unjustly imposed on gusta yesterday. And by the way, the tools that locate the own isabel violates humanitarian international loan. And the United Nations should quoted a violation of the amenities international law, as well as the concept on human rights un concert of human rights. But egypt, of course, the addiction people would uh, stand by defense teens in the guys us too. Because we in egypt cannot accept such a sheet, we cannot accept the fact that a country and occupying power deprives 2000000 and 400 innocent people of the basic necessities of life. The regional Spokes Person for the near on the middle east, the International Committee of the red cross imongary truck belk so that the humanitarian situation in gaza is dia. It is a fact that it civilly on both sides low paying the price of this renewed cycle. Glance at the situation is and forcing people quite critical in gods that we are seeing a size, deteriorating, humanitarian and condition. Its very important to highlight that to any 3rd situation was already was dire in guys due to several years of restricted a restriction on Movement Movement on goods and people which has created quite a severe economy. And he went to turn situation and a good part of the population will already be lying on some form of humanitarian assistance. What we are witnessing right now, all of our teams are with this thing on the ground, is a fact that you are eating access to our basic needs and services. Weve seen quite some, some, some damage cost to vital infrastructure. Guest agent over a few days. If its an overcrowded area where there is around too many People Living in the, in the relatively small area. Uh, according to initial figures uh at least 4047 percent of the population under 18 years old. Live in board and quite so tough a situation, a humanitarian situation over the years. The number of confess victims in israel has risen, so at least a 1000 killed with thousands more wounded us. This is really false. Is we take charge, we lost the home us, including it, telling you the guy is a border, a warning there are more disturbing images coming up. Us us as long as for us strikes on these really city of ask alone after warning, local residents to leave. According to local media, several lot explosions were reported after rockets were launched by him us. Some of them is south with the sets and by the i in the Missile Defense system. And this puts, it shows the aftermath of the shelling, including fence out, cause and damage. Buildings to his relatives were both to be killed and several wounded about these phenomena. Things as more focused on the feeler. It has been you have another 10 day for as row on tuesday, have us fire the hundreds of rock is with the tel aviv and the southern cities of ash, cologne, uninstalled being the main targets. But were all good alerts have been heard all across israel, including the countries north for the 1st time in a long time overall, in 4 days of the escalation, more than a 1000 people have been killed from these really side and scores have been injured and death poll continues to rise, unfortunately, we are now in the city of bid shiver in israel, south of the headquarters of a civil response, n g o known as one hard helping those in need and twice today, while we were filming the city was under attack. And after we heard the siren, we had to interrupt and runs to has se from, with hundreds of volunteers working here on the ground. And we know that may solve Defense System intercepted several me, solid wind from the guys us. 3 for no casualties have been reported, we can say there is a decline in a number of how mass attacks on each row. Probably a result of a method from bargemen to office 35. 00. These really are me in 4 days, tens of hundreds off tons of bombs have been dropped on thousands of targets in together. 3 pays rails goal is to weaken the militant groups. And apartment 3, it is working. This is what the idea of schools person has to say about the progress of all these really armies. Operation in these attacks, hundreds of homeless militants were killed. Im us terrace will have nowhere to clean the strip. We will get to them. Where are they . Are this is this inspired organization in guys i called him us, has put itself on the list of the most murderous and barbaric organizations in history. And it is clear to us who we are facing and what were fighting for. Well air res intensified dramatically and also we hear that israel is getting ready for a ground operation. And the guy who has 3 hundreds of thousands of troops id be brought closer to the boulder with guys a while. The civilian population has been evacuated from these areas, and also the sage of galaxies now implemented with food, water, and electricity supplies capital from these really side. But some are still saying that more radical measures on needed to win a war against him. Us, jerry, companies, tile, jerry, comedy styles, strategic loads. People can see during the introduction of forces doomsday weapon. This is my opinion, make up for the viola strands. Israel is also on the way to form an emergency unity government with the countries opposition and rolling polishan taken part and attends by the country that has been said drastically divided recently over months long and to government protests to get to united in the face of a server threats, negotiations that currently underway between from and a student in yahoo and most prominent opposition leaders. Well a number of our countries have spoken out and supports of palestinians in the conflicts. And you have in the who think of mens has threatened to respond with military force if the us gets directly involved in the conflicts between israel and from us across into rock. A local politician has claimed that the American Assets in the country could be targeted if washington intervenes. But this is now with use of mary jo pittsville, analyst and journalist, whos joining us from yemen. Thank you very much for joining us today on ok. Thank you for having me. Oh no. First of all, i want to get your thoughts on that statement by the who would see a Movement Leader do you think theres a chance that they will have to intervene here whatever the leader of the revolution. So you know, the method who the promises he usually delivers on their comments. And his problems was that if the us to be in the directly militarily and fights alongside these really regina and then they would. You also have a lot movement that you have on your own. We would get involved in sports. But because of humans, geographic location, according to the, to the liter. Um, he would not be able to send hundreds and thousands of fighters, which he claims are ready and are on stand by. Its saudi arabia and other countries are willing to open the folder and allow the hundreds of thousands of you many fighters to enter the, to enter their folders and fight alongside the passing of resistance. So because theyre not able to send the army units, hes saying that they are going to launch Ballistic Missiles and launch can get many drugs strikes. Targeting the is really, is really, we g is rarely, military forces and is rarely, military filled with the capability of the ballistic. Was also some that they have here in the admin and that they have uh rated. Just over about a month ago we, we seen of course, the large military freight, which consisted of a wide range of long range Ballistic Missiles, which with uh, you know, are capable and are able to hit israels what do you think the chances of this conflict escalating and drawing in some of the surrounding countries, you have seen process take place in quite human, lebanon and jordan, in supports of palestine. And israel is obviously due to some strikes against the medicine groups as it sees them in the lab. And then um, do you think were going to see a huge escalation . Regionally, there i do think there is going to be your destination if the us does decide to intervene militarily, you know, the leader of the human revolution, of the american who with the he did not make these statements. But you know, without there being any type of coordination with a Palestinian Resistance commanders without their being coordination with you on you and officials and without their being this sort of coordination between the excess of resistance be consistent of young men. You, ron, syria, and humans has all along with him as so theres this joint effort that we are seeing unfold and you know, forces are being joined together to color of the is really redeem and theyre basically promising and such as coming from you havent come also from syrias come also from giovanni and officials, military officials, theyre basically saying that were not going to need the posting and people alone to die despite equally in the most pernicious matters. While we stand back and do nothing is especially if the us and all the western country you decide to get involved militarily and support your on syria. Young men loved the nonsense, although theyre not going to stand by idle while there is a blockade or sees armed guards are preventing medical and basic supplies from entering the country. In other words, the most the world is not, is, is basically proclaiming. Were not going to stand by and allow the is really we seem to start and to despotic killed palestinians. So this is this unprecedented event i think, which we are seeing them for the most the world. I think of sending a message that, you know, the most new countries are the door. Theres just part of this money to do use mom in the military forces joining together not only to confront the israel regime, but to also put a, put the final nail in the coffin to western imperialism in the region. Or uses marriage if its got a list and gen list to settle is an unprecedented situation. But thats how the cooler heads prevailed in the coming days and weeks. Thanks very much for your time today to be here. Thank you us. Oh, the upcoming us the Financial Aid to israel upon it comes with some Strings Attached the body know ministration is reportedly pushing for the a tel aviv to be tied in with more funding for kids. Thats his present body and his budget on waving support to americas allies in israel. Through this moment, we must be crystal clear. We stand with israel. We stand with israel, my administration as consult closely with congress throughout this crisis on Congress Returns and ask them to take urgent action from the National Security requirements of our critical partners. Let me say again to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of this situation . I have one more dont, dont. And so we have all i did on the hill a couple of weeks ago unable to get through that 6000000000 dollar check to ukraine. It descends into k also want to down. Nothings the key of store got feel gets possibly said the speaker of the house gets out of state upon considering secret deal with by then to support financing ukraine. Lo and behold, Tragedy Strikes and israel, and ill send you politicians. Theyll tell you not, but let a good crisis go to weights. Why didnt must have known that it wouldnt be a 2nd time lucky with getting through that funding fee, ukraine. So maybe he was presented with this. I did. Why not smuggle it through . By linking it with aid is route. Why . Because suppose its route is bipartisan, it is a guarantee, it is on wavering. Its pretty much a must have when it comes to political survival stateside because the electric just wouldnt accept anything else. Now such and republicans have already featured this idea, but they wont be face the very difficult situation because by doing this, this actually forcing that hands here, ill say you dont want to search for ukraine. Fine, but do you really not going to vote for it as well . Um, so it would be a kind of checked mate when it comes to bypassing any opposition to this fun key of friends or policy. But it is, was no 1016. 00, a full size. What critical blinking of the said, they are a gates funding key of specifically, but make no mistake when it comes to other conflicts. This rhetoric ups store and this was lets negotiate about full. So the way, so i pretty quick k america is in the state of manage, decline, and then will exacerbate if we continue to hemorrhaged ex, pay a dollars to where to for a more we must have spent all for an aid for the war and ukraine and demanded all competence and this conflict reach a Peace Agreement immediately. The reason we ask this multi 1000000000. 00 commitment each and every year to israels because we want is real to have a qualitative military edge over everyone in the reason, i dont know that we need to be considered a bunch more american tax dollars there. I think i talked to the folks i get the privilege of representing across the 4th district folks. I see all over the country. They want to focus on their concerns. We have right here in United States. We need to give israel the time, the space, the resources so that they can win and win decisively and send a message to these able people who did this to the, to our great friend and great ally, the state of israel. So its not really fat to frame this as when they try to fight and bosses the piece. Nothing right. When it comes to war. Capitol hill is pretty much a unit party. Its just really a difference of who supports and is invested in which conflict more. And in recent days has come to light another link between ukraine and as well. Right . Yes. So the. C is a display my this has not been proven yet, and in fact, its almost impossible to verify. But the video has appeared and comments have been made, which seems suggests that how mosse is assign king ukraine for supply wessons that they are using a western weapons against is ready to population. Just the car for like i said, these weapons are from the west sale from nature, but somehow they have ended up allegedly in israel, how no one really knows, but some in washington, according for accountability and investigation anyway. Now, with whats happening in israel, were looking at a whole different situation. I want to track the serial numbers of the weapons that have mazda is using against israel. And i want to know if they came from afghanistan, or if they came from weapons that we provided to ukraine. Well, not a surprise, of course, to those who had even looked at the 2021 play for organized crime index, which listed ukraine has one of the top tubs in the world when it came to the trusted king. And since that, of course, the country has been flooded with millions upon millions of west winds, with basically 0 oversight. And what if we seen as a result, weve seen reports of those weapons that were destined for you create anything off in nigeria and send an even in latin america, but apparently torturing political responsibility is a pauls time to solve see ukrainian, military intelligence agency, the main intelligence director of the, of the Ukrainian Defense ministry informs that the russian main intelligence director of the has already handed or weapons made in the United States in the u. Countries captured during the fortune in ukraine to him. Most Service Allows us to present specifically to the us the is what relationship now paul, from this latest story about potential aid, is there anything else that struck you . Well, the statements of solidarity the promises of money, the center of the west and the doctor told to be expected of the rule. They sometimes cool as well. The 50 foster stayed there was one interesting moment we retreated to a performance, shall we say by john called the one who has told me about him us killing civilians. Air really similar to another performance when he was told about ukrainian civilians been killed, but very, very different to his response to american kidding. Of the syrian civilian. Sorry, it is very, excuse me. Very difficult to look at these images, jake, in the, the human cost and these are to enhance their family members, their friends, their loved ones, cousins, brothers, sisters. Yeah, its difficult and i apologize. Its difficult to look at the, the, sorry, its difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well thinking a serious mature leader would do that. I also wouldnt be a risk if i didnt also congratulate the staff in the near times for the people is or the day one in their coverage is to go any casualties caused by the United States military and military operations. We know that we had more work to do to better prevent civilian harm and were doing at work. We knew that weve made mistakes. Were trying to learn from those mistakes. Now no one is starting to argue with him that a full Service Image is coming from is route from the crane from the drum by say, also were saying because we know that who is how. But the difference in reaction that really gives the strong impression that copy is being so disingenuous. So in the us make some mistakes until civilians. Hes cool, hes rational, hes always cold, lot to, you know, its a non in come, uh no to insight that specials. But civilians are dying and conflicts which all the nations are engaged not necessary for new nations like russia. For example, you can barely keep it to god. This is so distressed. Apparently i imagine that it must be very frustrating for a syrian and the rocky public opinion. To look at this, i mean was think, well, if you put that level of effort as you do into a prime time performances into resolving the conflict, the walls will be a much peaceful, much more peaceful place. But unfortunately, history shows that very often the case is not the goal making money is well. Meanwhile, the present boots in has hosted the rocky Prime Minister mohammed. She also donny full talked in moscow. I love to discuss the spirit and conflicts between israel and how much were familiar to accuse us of feelings to bring peace to the middle east, a sicilian revision. Unfortunately, we are seeing a shop deterioration of the situation in the middle east. I think many will agree with me if this is a clear example of a failure of the us policy in the mean at least the us trying to monitor the life of the peace settlement. But unfortunately, was not concerned about finding compromises acceptable to both sides. On the contrary, they advanced their own ideas on how it should be done and that they put pressure on both sides, specifically on both one time on one side, then on the other, and then you. But each time without taking into account the fundamental interests of the Palestinian People 1st, i mean the need to implement the decisions that ill see you on security council, on the establishment of an independent software in the city and state. This is the 1st official meeting between the 2 here in most go to the walk, you Prime Minister or the elected just over a year ago. And as you can gather, the middle east conflict between israel and palestine was top of the agenda. President pershing saying weve no whole boss didnt blame of this conflict lies that the 2 of washington because we havent been able to resolve this conflict of button decades now since its been involved since he also quotes back in the 19 ninetys. We also heard from president putin say, you know, there was pressure put on both sides for the new point was the interests of the policy and people taking into full account. Now the rocky Prime Minister also saying that he felt that nothing else had been done to find peace between the 2 parties, the teacher. But they said that this event of the results of israels continued validation of policy, new rights, the National Communities sullens, and its failure to fulfill its obligation on these nations who recognized resolutions witnessing at posting an uprising them on an end to those violations. This is a very dangerous escalation that has a result in civilian deaths has been tennis. Bowman slid into the destruction of gossip, all have responsive. There is no the countries along with the great power, russia that thomas men build a un security council. It is a more responsibility for the major problems to stop the violations of Political Rights and because of locate, president pitching, saying that a rock and russia stand stead for cooling, for a minimization of any civilian casualties in this conflict. Interesting we, weve also have some comments coming out from the russians, Foreign Ministry from the spokesperson, maria. So how does the said that she was concerned about some of the rhetoric coming out of the United States about this at the moment . Its a really narrative. I me to contact you probably took of this take minutes of american politicians in public as it gets cold in full s mcclins in, in the region. Sounds monstrous. We also see a number of politicians and the region openly call in one after the group own list to be doomed to total elimination. Once again, all of this stuff is of americas declared good and isnt human rights dont mattress and theyre just the russian violation of the rule of law. Then primal hatred, that most goes, remains that foster that believes the only solution to this conflict for the long term is a 2 state solution. Present pushing saying that the palestinians need the nation states that will put their interests 1st. The us is sending a Naval Carrier Strike Group to israel to commit a masika and gaza was according to the took his presence and he made the comments up to the american defend 6th street lloyd austin, announced the move on sunday. I mean, because the us is sending an Aircraft Carrier to israel site, what is the purpose of the us Aircraft Carrier in israel . And what is it coming to do . You show us what will it do with all these boats and an aircraft . It will carry out extreme massacres by striking all of gaza and its surroundings dropping their balls. Lets cause live now to use it or even see the worlds editor at large. You said thanks very much for joining us this evening. Hit on oxy, im the us and i said hes sending this, this carrier, this Naval Carrier Group to start weapons from reaching a box, conduct civilians and provide a 0 with equipment and on. But this is for both very strong condemnation from the texas president. What are your thoughts to but we already have a very plain mobile situation right now between the palestinians and the israelis after the saturday attack and the dis, disproportionate response by israel. A israel already has a very strong arm more than enough to deal with a mouse as it has in the past. Now, when you see such a powerful country like the United States dedicate such a, lets call it, thats the military asset. Naval asset, like uh, the straight group that had sent this Aircraft Carrier plus the boats and the word planes on the carrier. And that, thats just a tremendous job, of course, entering the region, entering and already unstable situation and not only making the palestinians nervous, but also making many regional actors very nervous, regional actors that have been working towards these that have been part casey and diplomacy talking to all sides trying to negotiate a ceasefire prisoner swap deals. So it doesnt seem to add any type of a pro active step for any positive measures right now to the situation by making everybody nervous that having them walking on their jobs. But its certainly a very troubling situation. We recently had the, the, whos the leader also saying that, you know, he would intervene in this, this conflict. Theyre also being processed in the lab and then a neighboring countries. And now the us is stepping in with this carrier group. Do you see that the, what do you think the tons of these conflicts filling out more widely . And i think theres a, theres a lot of potential to that where this tend turned into a regional conflict because the palestine issues the legacy issue, its been unsolved for 60 years despite un resolutions. And one of the reasons why its been and solve this because its such a deep rooted issue when you have this type of legacy issue, a flare up once again. Of course its going to reverberate in the region. Many arabs, many muslims have very close links with palestine. I sympathize with palestinians a lot. So its a, its an issue that the region places great important sign and has wanted to see solve for decades. So again, when this type of a issue players up there could be regional actors who wants to get involved in that involves me to be more than just the diplomacy. There could be non state actors that can trigger and is rarely reaction that might drawing other actors as well. Most certainly, but its very troubling for now use it just for 70 bucks. So the us on so cant overstate both nato members, and theyve had the disagreements in the past, most notably over the purchase of the s 400 russian, a Defense System, and recently a overlying sweden and finland. And so the alliance lets just to name a few. This certainly seems to be a pumpkin head using the crux, a wide name between the 2 nato members as well. I thought these were getting a little better over the past couple months, especially with the new ad, one administration, the new cabinet after elections. But i think uh, just over this past week, the downing of the turkish drone and syrian, this is something that the turkish president touched upon today during one of his speech has expressed how unhappy is. I think god, that has raced all the positive steps that have been taken over the past couple of months because, i mean, when we looked at it, you have a new ally downey, your drove in the middle of a Counter Terrorism operation thats fight unprecedented. And thats something that the turks are not going to forget. Did they stop their operation . No, they just increased the pace of their operation and added that succeeds into the operation. But that, that sold to create some street. And its unprecedented amongst nato allies. So that could be something that could hurt the alliance in the future as well. Having this type of a flash flash, even though its just as simple downing of a drone. Again, it hurts the unity inside the line. Indeed, indeed, and finally use if i just wanna pick your brain. So im on funnel think uh the search president s are the one he has said that hes wanting to mediate the conflicts in the middle east between us on israel, most recently on the telephone with letting it boots and the russian president s. What do you think you can bring to the table here . As well as the surface present . It has been part taking a lot of phone to blow as they use calling everyone that is influential in the region. You talk with thousands of bus israels hairs on you talk with the lebanese Prime Minister as well. And part of that diplomacy is talking with russian president vladimir putin. Someone whos very influential in the region has influenced israel, has a lot of influence in palestine as well as some of the things that they talked about is 1st addressing humanitarian need. They talk that they talk about evaluating the initiatives base students that they have and their ends to be able to meet the humanitarian needs of the palestinians. And they also talked about taking precautionary measures from having this tension spill out into the region. Something we just talked about about 2 questions ago. Because i think the last thing either of them wants to see is a regional conflict. And thats an area that they can Work Together as to other important countries in this region that have st way over regional actors to keep this from turning into a regional war. And do this hope it doesnt turn into a regional well uses. Aaron c o c wells and its a large as always a pleasure talking to the program. Thanks for your thoughts today
