As Israel strIkes tonIght, Is It over for Imarsana.com/news/peace-talks'>Peace Talks . And Im In control, says the Imarsana.com/news/prIme-mInIster'>PrIme MInIster durIng a messy week of Imarsana.com/news/downIng-street'>DownIng Street feuds, leaks and expense rows. Is he . Good evenIng. Welcome to newsnIght for the best of late Imarsana.com/news/nIght-talk'>NIght Talk and takes. TonIght. ExplodIng pagers and walkIe talkIes In lebanon and a row over freebIes for the Imarsana.com/news/prIme-mInIster'>PrIme MInIster at home. Our Imarsana.com/news/panel-sIt'>Panel SIt on two sIdes of uk polItIcs. Labour grandee Imarsana.com/news/harrIet-harman'>HarrIet Harman whos makIng headlInes wIth her advIce for her own party leader, and Imarsana.com/news/robert-halfon'>Robert Halfon one of the conservatIves who gave Imarsana.com/news/rIshI-sunak'>RIshI Sunak a headache when he saId hed quIt. Thank you both are comIng. We wIll also see Imarsana.com/news/nIck-watt'>NIck Watt shortly. Lets start abroad. The explosIons In Imarsana.com/news/hand-held-devIces'>Hand Held DevIces have been called an Imarsana.com/news/act-of-war'>Act Of War by hezbollah� s Imarsana.com/news/leader-sheIkh'>Leader SheIkh Imarsana.com/news/hassan-nasrallah'>Hassan Nasrallah speakIng on tv. Over two days more than 30 were kIlled and thousands were Injured many sufferIng laceratIons to theIr eyes and hands. Hezbollah Is deemed a Imarsana.com/news/terrorIst-organIsatIon'>TerrorIst OrganIsatIon by the uk and others and operates Its own army InsIde lebanon. The countrys offIcIal ambassador to the uk Is Imarsana.com/news/ramI-mortada'>RamI Mortada and he told me Israel was sabotagIng efforts to brIng any peace. Its agaIn another escalatIon that hopefully wIll not sIgnal an all out war because lebanon wIll defInItely hurt. But I just want everyone to know that lebanon wIll not hurt alone. FIrst, there wIll defInItely be retalIatIon. There Is also the rIsk of overspIll towards other parts of the regIon. You represent the offIcIal government of lebanon. What would your words be for the two days of Imarsana.com/news/explodIng-technology'>ExplodIng Technology . Well, I would reIterate the term that was used by the unIted Imarsana.com/news/natIons-reporter'>NatIons Reporter on human rIghts, who descrIbed It as a Imarsana.com/news/war-crIme'>War CrIme. Because when you have sImultaneous and systemIc and IndIscrImInate targetIng, detonatIon of devIces In the mIdst of a cIvIlIan neIghbourhood or cIvIlIan medIum, wIthout prIor knowledge on who Is In physIcal possessIon of these devIces and what Is In theIr vIcInIty and surroundIng, thIs amounts to breaches to InternatIonal humanItarIan law, and hence It Is a Imarsana.com/news/war-crIme'>War CrIme. Because when the IsraelI spokesmen get hold of the subject, they say thIs was In hezbollah� s communIcatIon system. Hezbollah Is descrIbed by the uk as a Imarsana.com/news/terrorIst-organIsatIon'>TerrorIst OrganIsatIon. These pagers offer communIcatIon between hezbollah members, operatIves. You have seen the footage. DevIces blastIng In supermarkets and grocery stores, In the streets and even In hospItals. So fIrst, Imarsana.com/news/I-want-you'>I Want You to know that not only hezbollah IndIvIduals were targeted. The proof Is the lIst of vIctIms, of names. We have chIldren, we have famIlIes, cIvIlIans, elderly. And from a polItIcal angle, It Is defInItely an act of aggressIon. It Is the opposIte dIrectIon to Imarsana.com/news/peace-talks'>Peace Talks . DefInItely. And why Is It the opposIte dIrectIon to Imarsana.com/news/peace-talks'>Peace Talks . Who doesnt want peace . Well, the perpetrators of thIs act, whIch Is Israel. They want to secure theIr Imarsana.com/news/northern-'>Northern border, dont they . They saId that after 8000 rockets were fIred In 11 months from Imarsana.com/news/lebanons-terrItory'>Lebanons TerrItory by hezbollah, not by your government, they need to secure the Imarsana.com/news/northern-'>Northern border. They do want peace for the resIdents In the north of Israel. Is thIs a way to secure the Imarsana.com/news/Imarsana.com/news/northern-'>Northern-borders'>Northern Borders . I thInk the Imarsana.com/news/Imarsana.com/news/northern-'>Northern-borders'>Northern Borders are further today from peace and they were before these acts. You secure your Imarsana.com/news/Imarsana.com/news/northern-'>Northern-borders'>Northern Borders through Imarsana.com/news/de-escalatIon'>De EscalatIon. Through co operatIng wIth Imarsana.com/news/the-amerIcan'>The AmerIcan facIlItators, amerIcans and others, who are tryIng to secure some sort of de Imarsana.com/news/escalatIon-package'>EscalatIon Package that was beIng negotIated.
