01:10threatens a new escalation.
01:16His Royal Highness, Princess Lalla Mariam, President of the National Observatory of Children's Rights,
01:24presided yesterday the 25th anniversary ceremony of the Children's Parliament.
01:34One day, on behalf of the Parliamentary Children, she gave a speech in which she expressed her deep gratitude
01:41to His Majesty King Mohamed VI for his constant commitment to make the Kingdom a model to follow
01:47in the field of child protection.
01:50Thus, Her Royal Highness, Princess Lalla Mariam, for her tireless efforts,

02:14On this occasion, Her Royal Highness, Princess Lalla Mariam,
02:16President of the National Observatory of Children's Rights,
02:19presided the signing ceremony of three bilateral conventions.
02:32As always in Morocco, the head of the government, Aziz Ahnouch,
02:35was this Tuesday in the Chamber of Councilors for the monthly session of oral questions
02:40on the general policy of the government, focused on the national policy of industrialization.
02:45More details in this story by Alaa Ben Nani.
02:50In the Chamber of Councilors, the head of the government highlighted the national policy of industrialization.
02:57In this sense, he mentioned several key initiatives.
03:02His Majesty King Mohammed VI initiated, since his ascension to the throne,
03:08a series of successful strategies that have made Morocco a competitive industrial destination,
03:14par excellence, allowing to reposition the kingdom on the world stage.
03:19Among these key initiatives, we can mention the Emergency Plan, launched in 2005,
03:24the National Pact for Industrial Emergency, launched in 2009,
03:29the Industrial Acceleration Plan 2014-2020, as well as the 2022 Investment Charter.
03:38Aziz Ahnouch also mentioned that the kingdom mobilized more than 13,600 hectares of industrial land
03:44and created 150 industrial zones.
03:52The kingdom continues to focus on the industrial sector through a renewed and sustainable policy,
03:57taking into account the accelerated changes in the global economy
04:00and aiming to achieve national sovereignty in terms of industrialization.
04:04In this context, I would like to recall the royal message addressed to the participants
04:08at the first edition of the National Industry Day in March 2023,
04:12in which the sovereign insisted on the need for Morocco
04:16to fully prepare to inaugurate a new industrial era,
04:20led by and by the notion of sovereignty.
04:23In this message, His Majesty the King stressed that the kingdom needs to succeed in this challenge
04:28of an industry that integrates new activities and new know-how
04:32and offers more job opportunities.
04:46In his speech, the head of the government also indicated that 654 projects have already been signed
04:52mobilizing investments of 78 billion dirhams and generating more than 89,000 direct jobs.
05:03We have also treated 2012 industrial projects in various sectors
05:07with a total investment exceeding 800 billion dirhams.
05:11These projects will create more than 275,000 direct jobs.
05:22In his speech, the head of the government also stated that the successful experience of the kingdom
05:27in the field of car and aircraft manufacturing
05:30has created a real momentum to enter the field of train manufacturing.
05:42Regarding the African automotive industry, our country ranks first on the continent
05:47with an annual production capacity of about 700,000 vehicles.
05:51Our country has been able to export cars to more than 70 destinations around the world
05:56with a local integration rate equivalent to 69%
06:00thanks to a strong industrial fabric composed of more than 250 car parts suppliers.
06:06The government is committed to raising the local integration rate to reach 80%.
06:22Finally, Aziz Akhnouch did not fail to underline that since the beginning of his government's mandate
06:27and until the end of July, the industrial sector has allowed the creation of more than 125,000 jobs.
06:35A solution to put an end to the war between Israel and the Hezbollah in Lebanon is within reach.
06:41This is what the special emissary of the American president, Amos Hochten, said on Tuesday.
06:46Hochten came to Beirut to negotiate on an American proposal for a truce.
06:51American Ambassador to Beirut, Lisa Johnson,
06:54presented to Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Merkati on Thursday
06:58and to the head of parliament, Nabi Berri,
07:01a 13-point plan for a 60-day truce and the deployment of the army in southern Lebanon.
07:08On Tuesday in Beirut, Hochten, Joe Biden's special emissary,
07:12gave the state a real opportunity to put an end to this conflict.
07:17The situation is, in principle, good.
07:19For his part, Nabi Berri said on the Saudi daily Sharqa al-Awsad,
07:24stating that Lebanese and American representatives had to settle some technical details before Hochten's departure.
07:31According to him, the latter has ensured coordination with the Israelis on a truce project.
07:37Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, warned on Monday
07:42that Israel would carry out military operations against Hezbollah,
07:46even in the event of a ceasefire.
07:53Also, the UN Security Council must speak on Wednesday
07:57on a resolution project calling for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
08:03A new attempt to put pressure on the parties to the conflict
08:07that may be blocked by the United States, allies of Israel.
08:11The latest version of the text project prepared by the 10 elected members of the Council
08:15calls for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire
08:19that must be respected by all parties and immediate and unconditional liberation of all hostages.
08:25A formulation that has previously provoked the anger of Israel
08:29and fears a new American veto, according to diplomats.
08:37In the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, Volodymyr Zelensky warned on Tuesday
08:41about the risk of a defeat against Moscow
08:45in the event of the end of American aid, judging the survival of Ukraine at stake
08:49at the time when the American missile strike on Russian territory
08:53fears a new escalation.
08:55On the 1,000th day of the war, Moscow promised an appropriate response
08:59after the attack carried out by Ukraine on its soil.
09:03On Monday night, it announced that the possibility of resorting to nuclear weapons
09:08was thus widened.
09:10A rhetoric denounced by the West.
09:13While on the ground, Russian troops advance on several sectors of the front,
09:17Kiev and its European allies are worried about the consequences of Donald Trump's return to power on January 20.
09:24Trump is very skeptical about the billions that the administration of the current President Joe Biden
09:28has awarded Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022.
09:39Direction now to Senegal, where the scrutiny of the anticipated legislations of November 17
09:46was the opportunity for voters to confirm the Senegalese exception
09:52in West Africa.
09:54What are the lessons learned from this scrutiny, the decryption,
09:58with our correspondents in Dakar, Oceania and Mousindia?
10:04The past has confirmed its dynamic of victory during the anticipated legislative elections,
10:09an election for which the challenge of the organization has been raised.
10:13I think the Senegalese also wanted to confirm what they had already opted for on March 24,
10:19that is, they elected on March 24, in the first round, a President of the Republic with 54%.
10:25And today, this President of the Republic, who asked for a majority in the National Assembly.
10:33The lessons to be learned first in relation to this is in relation to the organization of the scrutiny.
10:38Despite the fact that these are anticipated elections,
10:41we have seen that the electoral administration is irreproachable,
10:44at least from the point of view of the material organization.
10:46The Senegalese desire to preserve stability and peace
10:49has also been well appreciated by the Senegalese civil society.
10:53The calm and tranquility that we experienced last March, November 17,
10:59it was different from what happened during the campaign.
11:03It is true that the campaign was very busy at the beginning,
11:06fortunately it calmed down at the end.
11:08And so that's what we want.
11:10The Senegalese people are a very mature people,
11:12so they have enough maturity to manage in a peaceful way what happened in Senegal.
11:18With a comfortable majority,
11:20the ruling party can now carry out its development project for Senegal.
11:25The strong expectation of the Senegalese is in relation to accounting,
11:29it is also in relation to taking into account their needs
11:34regarding higher education, national education, health.
11:38So, roughly speaking, the well-being of the Senegalese.
11:42By plebisciting the ruling party,
11:44the Senegalese people have chosen the will of systemic change
11:48for this new national assembly.
11:50It is now up to the deputies of this 15th legislature
11:54to satisfy the expectations of the population.
11:59Now, let's move on to the guest of the major newspaper,
12:02Mediun Morning.
12:04In recent days, a series of Israeli raids have targeted Lebanon,
12:08murderous strikes have targeted several parts of the country,
12:12including the center of the capital,
12:14as well as several Hezbollah fiefdoms.
12:16Attacks are taking place,
12:18while Beirut is currently examining a proposal to cease fire issued by Washington.
12:25To talk about it, we are live with Mr. Mohamed Rajai Barakat,
12:30international relations expert.
12:33Bonjour, Mohamed Rajai Barakat.
12:36Merci d'avoir accepté notre invitation.
12:40Merci à vous.
12:42So, the Americans have transmitted to the Lebanese authorities
12:46a 13-point plan.
12:48The proposal is about a ceasefire
12:51and, in particular, an exhaustive application of Resolution 1701,
12:56which provides for the cessation of hostilities on both sides.
13:00Can you tell us a little more about it?
13:06In fact, it is true that the Americans,
13:09and there are several parties that have participated in these negotiations,
13:14they have proposed a plan,
13:16and this plan, unfortunately,
13:18will not be accepted by the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
13:24We can see that negotiations to cease fire,
13:27negotiations to reach a solution,
13:30have been going on for quite a long time.
13:33And what is happening now,
13:35in terms of negotiations,
13:37what is happening in Lebanon,
13:39is really the same as what is happening in Gaza.
13:44In Gaza, there have been negotiations.
13:46Each time, the special envoys,
13:49the American emissaries,
13:51the Foreign Minister,
13:53have made statements
13:55about how the negotiations are moving forward,
13:58and then, suddenly,
14:00there is a refusal on the part of Israel
14:03to respect all these commitments,
14:06and the war continues.
14:08Benjamin Netanyahu and his government
14:11have proposed
14:13to continue the war,
14:15both in Gaza and also in Lebanon.
14:19As they have stated quite often,
14:22they will destroy and exterminate
14:27Hezbollah and Hamas.
14:29The Israeli Prime Minister,
14:32Benjamin Netanyahu,
14:34has, however, warned that Israel
14:36would conduct military operations
14:38against Hezbollah,
14:40even in the event of an agreement
14:42to cease fire in Lebanon.
14:44How can you explain this position?
14:47Is it still far from being won?
14:52In fact, this statement
14:54by Benjamin Netanyahu
14:56proves that he is determined
15:00and wants to go all the way,
15:03to empty Gaza of its inhabitants,
15:06and also the south of Lebanon,
15:08to completely destroy the south of Lebanon.
15:11To date,
15:13there are a hundred villages
15:15in the south of Lebanon that have been destroyed,
15:18and the infrastructure,
15:20the houses,
15:22and in addition,
15:24the Israeli army continues to expand
15:26its attacks against...
15:30They even managed to strike
15:32in the center of Beirut,
15:34not only in the southern district of Beirut,
15:37where Hezbollah is present.
15:39This proves that Israel's will
15:42is to go all the way,
15:44not to recognize
15:46the 1701 resolution,
15:48nor the negotiations,
15:50nor the appeals
15:52launched by Arab and Muslim countries
15:54and several countries
15:56of the international community.
15:59So, in my opinion,
16:01there will never be peace
16:03with Benjamin Netanyahu,
16:05it will continue,
16:07and the only thing that can stop him
16:09is to have a force
16:11that faces him
16:13and forces him
16:15to stop his aggression
16:17against Lebanon.
16:19Some experts have noted
16:21that Israel
16:23could be tempted
16:25to delay this agreement
16:27and wait for Donald Trump's
16:29investment on January 20
16:31to offer the Republican president
16:33a diplomatic success
16:35as soon as he returns
16:37to the White House.
16:39What do you think?
16:41In fact,
16:43Benjamin Netanyahu
16:45is impatiently waiting
16:47for Donald Trump's arrival.
16:49We can see that Donald Trump
16:51had said that Israel
16:53is a small state
16:55and must expand.
16:57He has made statements
16:59that he will support Israel
17:01until the total annihilation
17:03of Hamas.
17:05In addition,
17:07all the ministers,
17:09the officials,
17:11who will soon
17:13take office,
17:15are pro-Israel.
17:19They have also made
17:21statements that they will
17:23never accept that Gaza
17:25becomes Palestinian
17:27and that the south of Lebanon
17:29will be
17:31annihilated
17:33by the Israeli army.
17:41Hezbollah is targeted
17:43by Israel
17:45and goes much further.
18:11In fact,
18:13as I said,
18:15Benjamin Netanyahu
18:17and his extremist government
18:19want to go all the way.
18:21They are now trying
18:23to destroy even more
18:25and to bombard
18:27Lebanon more,
18:29not only, as I said,
18:31the south,
18:33but also Beirut,
18:35whether it is a region
18:37where there is a presence
18:39that is not Shiite.
18:41The objective
18:43is to put pressure
18:45during the negotiations
18:47and try to force
18:49the Lebanese people
18:51to revolt against
18:53the Lebanese resistance,
18:55the resistance against
18:57the Israeli occupation.
18:59The final objective
19:01of Benjamin Netanyahu
19:03is to go further
19:05and this has been declared
19:07by his ministers,
19:09whether it is the Minister
19:11of National Security
19:13or the Minister of Finance,
19:15and also by Jewish religions
19:17who,
19:19based on the theories
19:21of the Jewish religion,
19:23said that all this land
19:25belonged to the great Israel.
19:27So, I believe
19:29that the negotiations will never
19:31succeed, and Israel
19:33and its aggression against Lebanon
19:35will never succeed,
19:37not only against Gaza and Jordan.
19:39On its part,
19:41the Lebanese Hezbollah
19:43said yesterday that it had
19:45fired missiles against
19:47a military intelligence base
19:49near Tel Aviv. Can we say
19:51that the Israeli army
19:53has not yet succeeded
19:55in annihilating
19:57the Hezbollah movement?
19:59Israel
20:01will never be able
20:03to annihilate
20:05Hezbollah or Hamas.
20:07Hezbollah is first
20:09of all a political party
20:11with an ideological
20:13majority where a large number of Lebanese
20:15continue to follow
20:17and support despite
20:19all the losses in their lives,
20:21in their
20:23houses,
20:25the destruction of villages, etc.
20:27But despite everything,
20:29Israel will never be able
20:31to revolt the Lebanese people,
20:33especially the Lebanese
20:35Shiites against Hezbollah.
20:37It's the same thing
20:39for Hamas in Jordan.
20:41Hamas is also
20:43an ideological movement,
20:45a political party.
20:47So, I don't think
20:49Israel will succeed.
20:51We can see that after
20:53more than four years and a month
20:55in Gaza,
20:57and now the war
20:59against Lebanon
21:01has been going on for a long time.
21:03So, it's impossible
21:05for Hezbollah
21:07to be annihilated.
21:09So, it will continue.
21:11On the field,
21:13on the plan
21:15of military operations,
21:17can we say that Israel
21:19has succeeded
21:21in reaching
21:23its main
21:25objectives on
21:27the northern front
21:29with Hezbollah?
21:31I don't think
21:33it's true that Israel
21:35has actually
21:37assassinated
21:39Hezbollah's leader
21:41and other leaders,
21:43whether Palestinian, Lebanese,
21:45in Lebanon, Gaza, and elsewhere.
21:47But they will never be able
21:49to stop this.
21:51They will never be able
21:53to annihilate Hezbollah,
21:55so we can see
21:57that the missiles continue
21:59to be launched
22:01towards the Palestinian
22:03territory, towards Israel.
22:05But what
22:07is happening
22:09so far is that
22:11Hezbollah is targeting more
22:13military bases
22:15than civilians,
22:17while on the other hand,
22:19we see that the Israelis are bombing
22:21villages, houses,
22:23cities,
22:25they are launching
22:27rather powerful bombs
22:29against buildings
22:31where civilians are present.
22:33So there is nothing
22:35to compare
22:37between the two
22:39parts of the conflict.
22:41But even
22:43in a month,
22:45ten months, etc.,
22:47I think the resistance in Lebanon
22:49will continue. It is true that
22:51it has decreased since Israel
22:53has managed to eliminate
22:55a large number of leaders
22:57and members of Hezbollah,
22:59but the proof
23:01that Israel has failed
23:03is that until now,
23:05it has not been able to enter
23:07the villages in southern Lebanon.
23:09It has not been able to occupy them
23:11permanently.
23:13It will continue.
23:15Mohamed Raja'i,
23:17I thank you
23:19for answering our questions.
23:21Thank you for this insight.
23:23I remind you that you are an expert
23:25in international relations.
23:29This is how
23:31this edition ends.
23:33Thank you for following it.
23:35Stay with us.
