2:00 am
the vital role in solar energy harnessing offerings, 75 percent of global carbon credits essential submitted by mental protection, enhancing investment climate. digital licensing, your better tomorrow. the draft resolution age group e s 10 strong l 27 has been adopted. the united nations general assembly overwhelmingly votes to demand a safe spot and also it will be live from un headquarters in new york. the color that i'm associated paying that says out of their life and also coming to you as president turbine, who owns with israel risk losing international support of funding of golf on the
2:01 am
ground and gauze. and meanwhile, is really sol, just storm that come all out. one hospital after besieging informing the facility for days. how to send you an admin and voice that all around the sending an air raid sirens on me is 11 on board. we'll have a report from townsend on the about 2 ration while the united nations general assembly has version overwhelmingly to improve the resolution that demands an immediate cease fund and gaza. 153 countries back to the move, which had been researched by the united states and the security accounts that last week. washington versus against the draft resolution along with israel and 8 other countries. now, while resolutions from the general assembly on not finding, they do carry political weight reflecting the global view. moments ago we had some
2:02 am
the palestinian and busted to the un here. welcome to the passing of this resolution, calling this vote historic the we house. and we will ensure that that the israeli occupation authorities will commit to the ceasefire to the humanitarian ceasefire immediately just like the secretary general called for. and just like 13 countries on the security council called for and as called for just now, minutes ago by the general assembly with 153 votes against, then both all of our efforts shop continue. not gonna blow up my goodness, and we will knock on the security council of doors in order to ensure that they new resolution is adopted. that facilitates and treat the immediate entry of a hundreds of trucks to the guys, strip, obviously fall away and the humanitarian ceasefire. as was just adopted by the
2:03 am
general assembly. meanwhile, israel is a mass of the to the you and it says this case file and the benefits of loss. know your crimes more heinous than the atrocities from us committed. and those that support this resolution are giving the terrorist a free pass. a ceasefire means one thing and one thing only ensuring this, the survival of hum us ensuring the survival of genocide. the terrorists committed to the election of israel and use the correspondent and christian telling me, joins me now from the united nations. kristin, when you look at these numbers compared to the last general assembly, verse positions all shifting, but this is an online thing resolution right to will actually make any difference as well. certainly the arab and islamic nations as the united nations who pushed for this resolution in the general assembly are celebrating this as
2:04 am
a major diplomatic victory. not only did the resolution pass with 153 votes in favor, just 10 guides to amendments that were introduced, one by the united states, both of them in mentioning him us the one by the united states condemning him. mazda is attack of october 7th, those were both defeated with the era group represented by the junction ambassador, arguing that they were attempting a resolution that was balance to neutral, that the amendments politicize the situation. and the goal was to get something passed quickly to get the message out and to get the humanitarian aid flowing. now technically, this is a general assembly resolution under international law general assembly resolutions are not considered binding in the same way that a security council resolution would be. but that said, this was taken under article under resolution $733.00 of the un,
2:05 am
which says that the general assembly can step in when the security council is deadlocked. and the palestinian ambassador pointed to the wording of this resolution, the strong wording of it saying that it demanded a ceasefire. didn't ask for cease for i didn't call for a cease fire demanded the ceasefire. so they are moving forward. looking at that as an ultimatum from the international community that they expect is real and how moss to adhere to. so kristen, let me ask you where we go from here. now, presumably this increases the pressure on the security council officer. what happened on friday? and that's right in this part of the uh, pressure campaign by arab and islamic countries pushing this. they say that they're already working on yet another security council resolution to take the situate,
2:06 am
to take the cease fire forward to make it a reality. they're calling on a israel to open up all border crossings into gaza, so that aid can flow to all areas of the gaza strip, which are in desperate need for it as as so many civilians, there don't have food, clean water or medicine. they say that they are already circulating this draft for comments and they are hoping to put it to a vote by the end of the week at the united states, of course still could veto this. they said again today and their comments that they think a ceasefire will only allow him us to stay in power and will in bolden him off to take further actions against israel moving forward. but clearly the supporters of this resolution feel that the situation is extreme really bad and needs to be addressed that a ceasefire needs to happen and, and,
2:07 am
and the proponents of it are pushing to make that happen with or without the support of the security council resolution but hopefully with a security council resolution christians, we me that with only licensed for us from the united nations in new york. thank you . kristen. lock all back is the editor in chief of you and dispatcher platform, which provides coverage on video. and he says that pressure is indeed mounting of the un for an immediate cease. fine is just words emphasizing truly how over whelming this vote was in favor of an immediate humanitarian that cease fire the last time the general assembly took a vote on this very same question. the results were 120 countries in favor. this time around is $153.00. so it's $33.00 more countries voted in favor tenet, fewer countries and voted against in about half as fewer voted to abstain from this resolution. so the momentum is really clearly building inside the walls of the
2:08 am
united nations for and immediate humanitarians use fire. where this goes from here though, is unclear, there will be more action at the security council. keep in mind that this phone at the general assembly today came just a week after the united states cast as loan veto blocking a resolution put forth by the united airlines calling for a cease fire. so i suspect what we'll see is further momentum building for other creative ways to impress upon the united states. in particular, the need for immediate humanitarians use fire, it's going to get increasingly difficult for united states to pursue it's other priorities at the united nations while remaining. so isolated on this issue on israel, in gauze, and in terms of us policy, i mean the mantra that we have seen thus far from the united states is that they are privately controlling the israelis to take more caution in terms of targeting
2:09 am
targets within garza and in terms of letting more humanitarian aid into gaza, but we're not seeing that translate into meaningful action on the ground. and i think that's where you're starting to see some public criticism for the 1st time, really by biting of nathan yahoo. and it'll be interesting to see as this conflict grimes on and as the content, what the situation remains as dire as it is. how much more public by the end will get with his criticism of an addiction, yahoo government. but thus far, it hasn't translated into a substantial change, and you want to talk us policy in terms of favoring a cease fire. and until the united states supports a cease, fire is use fire resolution will not pass the security council and the u. s. will remain deeply isolated at the general assembly are all new while in washington. as you have the you as president provide an earlier said that israel runs the risk of
2:10 am
losing support around the world for on this not speak to patrick, all hands. you joins us live down from washington dc. has it was interesting to see it just in the last hour, standing alongside ukrainian presidency landscape. biden's remarks, ben, what were a bit of a poncho from his turn and the earlier comments we had today, what did you make of it all? exactly. and this was his chance if he wanted to actually send the message, he would have sent it on camera in front of the white house press. the remarks he made earlier were off camera, they were the campaign finance campaign, campaign, fundraising events. and it was the most critical we've heard from president joe biden. he said he is really wor, cabinet is the most conservative in his early history. he called that particular member say not only do not want to choose state solution, they don't want to deal with the palestinians at all. and he said that netanyahu prime minister is, or is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu needs to change, but that he's being hemmed in basically, by his wor, cabinets,
2:11 am
and he did say that they are losing international support because of and this is important. indiscriminate bombing, that is the far this we've heard the by the ministration. busy into calling out what the world is seen it, but to describe it as indiscriminate bombing, which obviously goes against international law. so this would have been his chance . he was on camera if he wanted to send the message to israel, he would have done it there. he chose not to he went back to but he's been saying that every civilian death is a tragedy. but that israel, you know, he, that israel needs to continue. it's war in him. us war against how mos in gaza pass you the spine. but we had from the start button, just my minutes. okay. i'm curious if you think that off to date today is general assembly, but they're feeling the pressure now in washington. no, no, not at all. now when it comes to the international condemnation, unless they start here and i think directly from their closest allies,
2:12 am
that something needs to change, that kind of pressure might have an impact. but really the pressure that could potentially and it hasn't yet, but it could potentially impact the president is the polls. and she has to get young people and people of color to the polls. if it's going to be a close election against donald trump, and the polls have shown because of this handling of the israel gods of war, that it is plummeted among young people among people of color. and let's not forget the era populations, 3 of the biggest to swing states have the biggest error populations. we're hearing political scientist in michigan where she can't get to the white house. if he doesn't win michigan. saying that he, unless the turns around is likely going to lose michigan. you could also lose pennsylvania and georgia, which is also has a large population of muslims that of arrows and, and again of young people. young people are driving this. you've seen these pro palestinian protests, college campuses all across the country,
2:13 am
and they're painted in polls, a direct correlation between their unwillingness to vote for joe biden with his handling of this war. so if there's going to be any pressure on him, it's going to come from internal politics because he wants to win re election. not because he's worried about what the, how the us as seen on the world stage. interesting dynamics, patrick, how, hey, now with the laser, as far as from washington dc. thank you. passing as well is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has acknowledged that united states and as well have different ideas of what cause a should look like off to the war. but he's banked washington for it's ongoing support and doesn't know who you specifically refer to. the palestinian was already saying that he doesn't want it to control garza, i mean, the, the economy, the economy. and i'd greatly appreciate the american support for destroying him, us and returning all hostages. calling an intensive dialogue with president biden, and his team, we received school back in for the ground incursion is blocking the international pressure to stop the war. yes. is disagreement about the day of the home us,
2:14 am
and i hope that we will reach an agreement here as well. and you would say, love you. i would also like to clarify my position, which i will not allow is will to repeat that mistake of also not then shut off more that speak to honda. so hurt and occupied a story. so i'm not talk us through what else we had from that. and now here tonight is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is essentially reiterating a position. but he has had since the war began. he's saying that the housing authority is not an appropriate body and that it's unfit to run the gaza strip after the war is over. but this comes in contrast with the american point of view that wants to see a revitalized palestinian authority taking charge. once the war concludes, prime minister netanyahu has previously said that these really is, will have a military presence in the gaza strip for an unknown amount of time, really
2:15 am
a military occupation of gaza. however, the americans have been saying that the palestinians are the ones who need to be in charge of gaza, that the palestinian people perhaps voting processes for their governance needs to be at the center of what happens with casa after the war. these really prime minister has also said that a military presence in gaza is to ensure that his 3rd goal of the war is met. that is real, feels no sort of threat coming from gauze out once the war is over. but a lot of conflicting views here and disagreements between us and yahoo and us president joe biden. it does look kind of are like others, really officials have doubling down on us. and you know, his vision of a post will cause this is really officials have been speaking out as well. i want a point to remarks from the countries communications minister, slomo cod here, who released a post on ex, formerly known as twitter st. quote. we respect and cherish the president of the
2:16 am
united states who went out of his way during the most difficult period of the state of israel. but we live here. this is our country, the historical estate of our ancestors. there will be no palestinian state here. we will never allow another state to be established between jordan and the sea. we will never go back to oslo and in the words of president biden, the security of the jewish people is at stake. a palestinian state would endanger that. now the communications minister is not the only one speaking out these really armies spokesperson, daniel, have gotti, referring to biden's remarks about the indiscriminate bombings in gaza. saying that these really is do share military intelligence with the americans and speak to them on a daily basis about their operational activities inside of gaza, saying that they are in fact precise. however, as we have seen, that has shortly,
2:17 am
not been the case, and the americans have been increasing the pressure on these really to conduct themselves in the southern part of gaza. the same way that they operated in the north. but this is a historical view really among prime minister benjamin netanyahu, whose coalition partners who include ultra nationalists like the countries national security minister, and the finance minister, who are truly against any sort of talks about a palestinian state of south to you and us. how hot that with the latest on the view from occupied is to reason that thank you 100 a lot on the ground in doors at the desk told as rising as israel presses on the hits from bottom into the strip, almost 18 and a half 1000 palestinians have now been killed since october the 7th. i have somewhere for. 4 the moment is really forces between a to school in bay, kind of northern gods. hundreds of displaced families had been
2:18 am
sheltering of the u. n. run facility from the north to the south. knew where the strip is safe. hey, i building has been turned into a graveyard of memories and the height of time it is for the house and drop off. and the falls south of guys would be saved from is really bumps. they were on the refrigerator because it was in fee job. just the full morning praise, we heard a huge explosion. our neighbors were targeted and no one survived. this is what israel's been doing all the time. i know that his radio strikes this time and then they'll say about the future. you can send for garza dozens like you the model. that's the beauty and the thought. the destruction is massive. our neighbors houses is most were killed. more than 30 people. they were hosting, displaced people make god bless all their souls. no one here has anything to do
2:19 am
with the war. we are a civilian. there was no resistance on that street. there was nothing i want. all of us are so many of them. the same story of i'm doing many different faces and different buildings. this is that my guys had a few g come after the one budman. it's up to the neighbors, to search for any survivors that i need. i need to be a tremendous method. we was sitting safely in the house with civilians. we have nothing to do with disability for since that and suddenly missiles with folding on us around 12 or 15 were killed. 4 of them were at my house. i see they would displace people peaceful people and no one's divine. still trying to find people under the rubble of the more than 9 weeks off for lunch. this is really a tax. they joining the thousands of missing palestinians, whose bodies all you have to be to call that on the action. just so you know, all is right, a force as of also still on the come all odd one, a hospital in northern garza, several palestinians were arrested. that follows days of funding at the facility
2:20 am
talked of was a has one on for us from rafa. or another day you have a tax that was full of intimidation for the majority of a residence, even for patients inside the hospitals that had been windy at times. today, including come out at one hospital in the north of gauze while where it had been stormed by the occupation forces. today they have an open fire. i give some main departments and they have blindfolded and the rest. it's a free palestinian who is 15 years old, who is over 15 years old and they have been taken and prevents on a known location for investigation. and they have also a subjective i'm part of the medical work is alongside with the director of come on . i do on hospital to investigation. now the situation is not due for the hospitals . as it happened before to i, she felt medical complex, which is the largest men to come complex inside garza where they have stored at the
2:21 am
medical complex before. and they have also arrested the director of the medical complex mohammed up with somebody who had been till now onto that. usually a risk now of these kind of a procedures that had been made against the hospitals in the north because it, it to be a new violation by these really forces as they are expanding and attacking the majority of areas in the north of the territory. all still had here on notice here and injured and displaced by is really palms. this all takes a heavy total cost as children who in $7700.00 and count the the brought to you by visit capital. so here's your weather story for the america is good to see. we've got some center storms bubbling up in ne,

2:27 am
palestinian prisoner will storage. he is saying, they believe tidings of, of, of palestinians possibly up to a 100. they say, may have been arrested already. although we're also seeing video up is and is having being released or detained palestinians being released. but yeah, just as an indication of how dangerous the situation is, the of the $218.00 palestinians that have been killed since october. the 7th in these right across the west bank, around a quarter of them, a being from jeanine and hundreds and hundreds of people to be interested in rights . similar to this, as it, as it continues in that city, in the north of the occupied westbank. cha, stratford the with the latest. now the un peacekeeping force and 11 on has wanted that the escalation hosted as he's along the is really border could why than so high roads has moved from israel's northern border. what we've come to israel's

2:29 am
a move to that. you just saw in that area you'll see is black kids where it's been torched by previous attacks that and that just gives you a sense of what an easy target this place is. this is the town or showing me time to 8000 residents. but as you can see, it's a goes town incredibly darling's. no one's in the playground because a he but the schools are closed and so all the show and the windows shafted on either side just down this road here. there's also concern that many of the businesses will go bankrupt through the lots of farm lines here. there's no one to pick the produce. all of this. this is rouse prime minister benjamin netanyahu. ones that have hezbollah wants it all out. rule by roots will become another garza, or just want to give you an idea of where she slowed me is, is right next to that for the that separates as route from lebanon, which runs along the top of that hill. and in the last couple of years,
