00:00Hello, we start the international press review with a question.
00:09What do the organizations and activists think of the leader of Palestine, Hamas?
00:13The answer is rarely mentioned and remains vague,
00:16writes Hillel Schenker, Israeli on the left, in the American monthly Nation.
00:20Although we think of the Palestinian movement and the armed resistance in general,
00:24the October 7th attack was an act of resistance,
00:27declared the American Jewish philosopher Judith Butler.
00:30His opinion on Hamas, on the other hand, is not clear.
00:33The author of the article, doubting the Israeli occupation,
00:37believes that Hamas is not a realist Palestinian partner.
00:40So it's not just a Palestinian liberation movement,
00:44but also a fundamentalist Islamic movement.
00:47And this is not what the West wants,
00:49secular or Israel, even less secular, to messianic and racist ministers
00:53like Bezalel Mottrich, Rabbi Meir Kahan and Itamar Ben-Gvir.
00:58Unless Hamas changes its ideology
01:01and accepts the idea of the existence of the State of Israel
01:04alongside the future Palestinian state,
01:06it cannot be a partner of a two-state solution,
01:10the only solution that can be offered to Palestinians and Israelis,
01:13the possibility of a dignified and secure life.
01:16However, any idea of a possible Israeli will
01:19to achieve a solution to a single state is a chimera.
01:22Israeli and Palestinian societies live in a state of immense trauma,
01:27full of anger towards each other.
01:30If the Czechs, Slovaks, Indians and Pakistanis
01:33as well as all the members of ex-Yugoslavia
01:36could not stay together in a single state,
01:39how can we seriously imagine a solution to a single state
01:42for Israelis and Palestinians in the near future?
01:46In the midst of a crisis with Israel,
01:48Iran shows its military muscles
01:50by making soldiers, missiles and drones parade
01:53for the day of the army.
01:55Iran wanted to show on Wednesday
01:57that it was ready to face a possible retaliation from Israel
02:01in response to its unprecedented attack
02:03targeting the Israeli territory fighting in the Middle East.
02:06This annual celebration of the armed forces
02:08gave the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi the opportunity
02:11to launch new threats to Israel,
02:13sworn enemy of the Islamic Republic.
02:16With its 150,000 rockets and missiles pointed at Israel,
02:20the Hezbollah remains the most massive weapon of dissuasion
02:23available to Iran,
02:25a weapon it has refused to use for the moment.
02:28This is what Christophe Ayad,
02:30author of Geopolitics of Hezbollah in the magazine Le Grand Continent, explains.
02:34If Iran wants to avoid war,
02:36it knows it is in a position of weakness
02:38with a population in revolt for a year and a half
02:41in its northern, northwest and southeast regions.
02:44On the other hand, its economy is plagued
02:46by inflation and US sanctions
02:48and its oil industry is in poor condition
02:50due to lack of investment.
02:52The goal of Iran is to achieve strategic parity with Israel
02:56in terms of atomic weapons
02:58without endangering its strategic installations
03:00before reaching the nuclear threshold.
03:03While the regional troubles intensify,
03:05Bashar al-Assad, who is part of the so-called axis of resistance
03:08led by Iran,
03:10projects a statu quo image.
03:12Al-Majallah made the point over the last two weeks.
03:15The Syrian leader did not participate directly
03:18in any strike against Israel.
03:20He remained detached from the escalation
03:22on the occupied Golan Plateau.
03:24Al-Assad, in particular, strengthened communication
03:26with Arab leaders
03:28while simultaneously reducing communication
03:30with Iranian leaders.
03:32This was particularly noticeable
03:34during the celebrations of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
03:36Al-Assad also refused to condemn
03:38the Israeli attack
03:40against the Iranian consulate
03:42on its own territory in Damascus.
03:46Before the conflict broke out in November 2020,
03:48the Tigray counted 61 large companies,
03:50most of which were totally
03:52or partly ravaged during the fighting.
03:54Detached parts were removed
03:56and stolen.
03:58The Eritrean army
04:00supported the Ethiopian federal forces.
04:02These units specialized in mechanics
04:04and electricity
04:06methodically took possession of the equipment
04:08to the extent of their logistical capabilities
04:10by dismantling it
04:12and moving it,
04:14reading it in international mail.
04:16At the height of the epidemic,
04:18the world's baby blues.
04:20This decline is expected
04:22after the peak of the 10 billion humans
04:24on the planet,
04:26according to projections.
04:28The decline could be as rapid
04:30as the growth has been,
04:32and it is a period of decline
04:34as inexorable as unpredictable
04:36due to the birth rate,
04:38which does not affect only rich and democratic states
04:40such as Germany and South Korea.
04:42No country, or almost,
04:44has spared the prospect of a depopulation
04:46raises delicate questions
04:48as to the possibility for a prosperous society
04:50in solid institutions
04:52to last.
04:54This concludes the international press briefing.
04:56Thank you for watching. Have a good day.
