00:00Welcome to Masaa al-Akhbar, we present it to you live from Mediantv channel in Betanja and we use it, as usual, with the most prominent headlines.
00:23In France, the Left Alliance is issuing legislative results, according to estimates, which is the presidential alliance, and in the third place, the extremist right.
00:35And a leader in Hamas is talking about the movement's agreement to start negotiations on housing without a permanent ceasefire.
00:45And in Nigeria, the confederation of the coast between Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is tenting at the top of IKWAS in Abuja.
00:57Welcome, and let's start with the French legislative elections in their second round.
01:14The first estimates indicate that the French legislative elections will result in a clash between the Left Alliance in the second round and the occupation of the military of President Emmanuel Macron in the second place, ahead of the extremist right.
01:29The estimates also indicate that no mass will gain absolute dominance in the next national assembly.
01:35These estimates came after the second round of legislative elections, in which the French voted strongly during the day.
01:43The percentage of participation in them exceeded 60%, which is the highest percentage of participation recorded in France since 1981.
01:55And to learn more about these results, our correspondent Bassam Al-Najjar joins us live from Paris.
02:03Welcome, Bassam.
02:07Thank you, Umaymah, and welcome to all the viewers of Mediatheque.
02:11So, the first results of the second round of the French elections showed that the Left Alliance advanced by the largest number of seats.
02:21Do you have any more details about these results, as well as reactions after the results?
02:27That's right. So, the collapse of the left parties, the new Popular Front, created the surprise and enabled the export of the results after the second round,
02:44by gaining between 180 and 215 seats, ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's major parties, which gained between 150 and 108 seats.
03:01While the other surprise was the occupation of the Right-Wing National Assembly, which gained between 120 and 150 seats.
03:15So, these are the first results of the Electoral Commission, waiting for the final results and the detailed results, which will be announced by the French Ministry of the Interior tonight.
03:28So, the results were surprising, and surprised many people here in France.
03:35After all, or perhaps most of the opinion polls, and also the politicians, point out that the National Assembly will issue the final results.
03:46Perhaps it will not get the absolute majority, but at least it will get the first place.
03:52But the collapse of the left parties, the collapse of President Macron's presidential camp,
04:01which was to block the way for the arrival of the Right-Wing National Assembly to power, was a success.
04:13The first statements issued after the initial results were, for example, the statements of Jean-Luc Mélenchon,
04:21the leader of the French Right-Wing party, which is one of the components of the Left-Wing party, the new popular front.
04:30He said that the Left-Wing is ready to rule, and called the current Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, to resign from the presidency of the French government.
04:41Olivier Faure, the leader of the Left-Wing party, said that if his party joins the next government, there will be no alliance against nature.
04:55Jean-Denis Bardelat, who everyone saw as the next prime minister of France, and others,
05:02said in a speech after the results were issued that he attacked President Macron and accused him of disrupting constitutional institutions
05:14and disrespecting the wishes of French voters.
05:19He also attacked what he called the alliance of shame, in reference to the alliance of the left parties with the majority government parties.
05:30The French government is waiting for what Macron might say in the coming days.
05:36Macron met at 6.30 p.m. on Sunday evening in France.
05:43He met with his first minister and with the leaders of the majority government parties to discuss the next scenarios.
05:55Macron might decide on the appointment of the next French prime minister.
06:06Thank you Bassama Al-Najjar for joining us in Paris.
06:09Thank you for all the information.
06:12Welcome to New York with the political analyst Rima Al-Bakawy.
06:16Welcome, my lady.
06:19First of all, is there really a shock and surprise?
06:23The elections are described as historic in terms of participation and all possible alliances.
06:30Now the picture is clear.
06:33The result is the alliance of the People's Front on the way to achieve an unexpected victory over the right-wing National Assembly,
06:41but without the absolute majority in the parliament.
06:45What is your initial reading of these results?
06:48And what are the possible alliances based on these results?
06:52Good evening, Mayma.
06:54Of course, the French media was surprised by this result,
06:59especially when I read the opinion of the right-wing extremists months ago.
07:07Today, the surprise was great.
07:12Honestly, I was not surprised by this result.
07:15As I said before, what surprised me was the results of the presidential party that won many seats.
07:28I don't think that President Macron will make a decision now,
07:34because he will wait for the final results,
07:37because we know that the big cities have not yet determined their results.
07:42I think he will wait for the final results to decide what he will do.
07:51Congratulations to French democracy, because we do not forget that 27% of the participation is a large number.
07:58If we compare it to what happened in 2022, the participation did not exceed 47%.
08:07The good news is the strong participation.
08:12The surprise is that the right-wing extremist is the third party so far.
08:20What will happen? This is the question.
08:24Who will rule France? This is what the French are wondering,
08:27because there is no absolute majority for any party.
08:32Will there be alliances?
08:34If we listen to Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Olivier Lefort, the head of the Socialist Party,
08:41there will be no alliances.
08:43In my opinion, there will be alliances, because there are hot files that the parties must meet to make a decision in the parliament.
09:00Nareem, it seems that the alliance map is difficult,
09:05especially since none of the main parties can rule alone.
09:10None of the three parties will be able to obtain the absolute majority in the parliament.
09:16As I mentioned at the end of this interview,
09:19I look forward to the words of French President Emmanuel Macron,
09:21before whom Mélenchon sent strong political messages to Macron,
09:29inviting him to admit defeat.
09:31He returned the political content of this election campaign,
09:35which also pushed the left-wing alliance to obtain these results,
09:40as well as the strong participation.
09:42What do you think, French President Emmanuel Macron?
09:47I do not agree with his opinion when Mélenchon accused Macron of defeat,
09:53because, as I said before, the presidential party has a large number of votes, which is appreciated.
10:00This is the first thing.
10:02I think that Emmanuel Macron, what will happen now,
10:05is the closest scenario.
10:10Gabriel Attal will submit his resignation.
10:13Emmanuel Macron may refuse it or accept it.
10:17I think he will accept the resignation of Gabriel Attal,
10:21but he must determine the first prime minister of the majority.
10:26This is the question currently raised.
10:29Who will be this first minister?
10:31Will he be from the Socialist Party?
10:33Will he be from France?
10:35We know all the criticisms made against France by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
10:44The picture is not clear.
10:48Therefore, I emphasize that the real results that the Ministry of the Interior will issue tonight
11:04will determine what will happen after today.
11:08But I think that Gabriel Attal will accept his resignation
11:13and that he will be France's first minister from the left.
11:19In anticipation of the final results,
11:25the French authorities suggest the occurrence of violence in the French capital, Paris,
11:32as well as in other cities, where there are groups of the far-right and the far-left.
11:39What are the possibilities of this?
11:40Are there any implications for the political arena?
11:44I think that the gatherings started in the middle of Paris,
11:50in the Place de la République,
11:53which are left-wing gatherings.
11:55I think that the people would have been bigger
11:59if the far-right had reached the majority.
12:05In any case, we do not hope that there will be violence,
12:11because the elections were very democratic,
12:15so we hope that there will be no violence.
12:20I think that if the far-right had reached the majority,
12:26there would have been more violence from the far-left.
12:32What about the statements of Bardella?
12:35Bardella said that the French people will not achieve their dreams.
12:39The French president, Emmanuel Macron, also attacked the constitutional institutions.
12:46How do you read all these positions of Mélenchon and Bardella?
12:53I understand Bardella because he is frustrated.
12:57He used to see himself in the presidency of the government,
13:02and the far-right gave him this right.
13:06But I think that the outings of some members of the far-left
13:13between the two rounds, or even before the elections,
13:18were outings against the far-left.
13:21It gave a very bad image of the far-left,
13:27because Jordan Bardella's role was to change that image.
13:32He is a young man, he is in social media,
13:36he talks to people in a normal way,
13:39so he wanted to give a good image,
13:42but some outings, I can mention outings,
13:46for example, a doubt about the legitimacy of some ministers,
13:51as happened, for example, with Najat Vallaud-Belkacem,
13:54who was the minister of education in France.
13:59A doubt about her legitimacy as a minister,
14:02because she is of Moroccan origin.
14:05This had a very big impact on the French media,
14:09and even on people who were supporters of the far-right.
14:14After the outings of these members,
14:17they were not in favor of the far-right,
14:20and the high participation was not in favor of the far-right.
14:24Yes, Bardella, who is looking forward to the presidential elections
14:28with Le Pen in 2027,
14:32and also, as you said, the far-right revealed all its papers
14:36in the first round of these elections,
14:39which perhaps reflected its performance
14:42in the second round of the French elections.
14:45I thank you, Rima Albakawy, political analyst.
14:47You were with us live from New York.
14:49Thank you for your participation and for all these explanations.
14:52Thank you.
14:54Thank you.
15:24Thank you.
15:54In particular, the Israeli occupation
15:57invaded divided areas,
16:00in order to continue the land occupation
16:03of the Israeli occupation army and its mechanisms
16:06in the Shija'iyah region, east of the city of Gaza.
16:09This area is still basically besieged.
16:12The ground troops were unable to reach
16:15some of the besieged families,
16:18and therefore the fate of the besieged families is unknown,
16:21despite the lack of water and food,
16:24as well as the complete lack of security.
16:27There were also separate fires and massacres
16:30in Sheikh Ridwan, Sabra, Rimal, and Zaytoun.
16:33The artillery bombardment continued throughout the hour,
16:36with the collapse of the health system
16:39and the collapse of the citizens
16:42who are in northern Aqsa
16:45due to the continuous use of the Israeli occupation
16:48of food weapons, which forced a number of citizens
16:51to leave the Gaza Strip
16:54due to starvation,
16:57and this weapon has been in use since the beginning of the war.
17:00Even at this moment, the situation of starvation
17:03in the northern areas has deteriorated for several weeks,
17:06and has returned to a more severe and more difficult state.
17:09In terms of food and health,
17:12by the way, it was not allowed
17:15to enter the medical facilities
17:18in light of the continuous Israeli aggression
17:21and bombardment throughout the hour,
17:24as well as the food that has not been allowed
17:27to enter since the beginning of the Rafah operation.
17:30Therefore, we are talking about a complete collapse
17:33in the northern areas,
17:36which has led to the escape of a number of citizens
17:39towards Al-Rashid Street, towards the southern areas,
17:42despite the presence of the Israeli occupation army
17:45in this area and the danger of cutting them off
17:48due to the intense presence
17:51of the Israeli occupation army
17:54in the Gaza Strip.
17:57On the other hand,
18:00protesters closed the roads in Tel Aviv
18:03for the second day in a row,
18:06demanding the government to arrange
18:09an exchange of hostages with Hamas
18:12with the entry of the war in Gaza in October.
18:15Protesters stopped the movement
18:18when the main roads in Tel Aviv were closed,
18:21demanding the government to hold elections.
18:24This was before a demonstration
18:27that was called for today.
18:30As we mentioned earlier,
18:33the leaders of the economic group
18:36of West African countries opened their summit
18:39today in Abuja, Nigeria,
18:42in the shade of a political atmosphere,
18:45after the leaders of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso
18:48announced the evening of the summit as a new alliance,
18:51called the Coastal Confederacy.
18:54Its first meeting was held
18:57before the summit of ECWAS,
19:00another test for regional cohesion
19:03that was separated from it in a previous year.
19:06This challenge comes while ECWAS is also facing
19:09a security situation in expansion
19:12and financial problems,
19:15in addition to rising regional powers.
19:18It is not yet clear how the reaction
19:21of the cohesion group will be
19:24in the coming days.
19:27Thank you for watching.
19:30Goodbye.
