11:00 am
coming soon, but just like i told you, so, dealing with this feeling on alex's era, the united nations highest cool, which is about to begin a series of hearings into israel's illegal occupation, the palestinian territory, the hello until mccrae coming to the scenes of desperation and hunger and gone, so where is rose war and restrictions on live saving? i just pushed palestinians to the brink of semen plus under the name and the occupied west bank, where people have been experiencing the hardships of israel's patients for decades . we explore with that as well. systematic policy of segregation and settlement
11:01 am
expansion and occupied east jerusalem is changing the status of what palestinians consider as the future capital. the in the coming out of the international court of justice will begin a historic series of public hearings on the consequences of the as riley occupation of california and territories. and here is 156 years of palestinian disposition and force displacement 56 years of israel. illegal land grabs 56 years of pods and persecution, 56 years of israel's occupation of palestine now more entrenched, more oppressive, and more violent since 1967. israel has built more than 300 settlements and outposts in the oak upon occupied with bank. and since last year it's 5, right?
11:02 am
it has expanded settlements at a wrinkled price. palestinians are routed from their homes and lands in violation of international laws. rights groups say at least 65 as riley laws discriminate against palestinians. i think every aspect of palestinian lives separating families restricting their freedom to travel to work and even to access clean water. then is the everyday violence of his riley forces and civilized, nearly $400.00 palestinians, including children, had been killed in the occupied with bank since october, the 7th, and more than $7000.00 have been to tide. now most of those are an administrative detention. that is they are held without a trial now the top court. busy the united nations is hearing submissions from $52.00 nations and 3 organizations to consider the legal consequences of the world's longest occupation. and this is what occupation feels like the palestinians from casa to the west, back to her wisdom dead. like the deadline of the last,
11:03 am
the history i have left allows little the most positive. why the minister i if the how the most of the protected the issue, jimmy, or you can send a correspondence, a covering all aspects of the story, honey mark, mood as live for us and rougher and southern gaza with palestinians who have enjoyed as well as occupation and blockade and now living through what the international court of justice is as plausible genocide or a challenge as live and occupied east jerusalem, where the old city is at the heart of is ready occupation and the conflict. and then the occupied west bank. we have need abraham, she's in hebron where as well as a legal settlement, segregation and surveillance, have tons of city into an open, a prison to palestinians. the 1st let it sit the same within it. smith, who is at the hague. now ben. and can you just give us a bit of context here, 1st of all, and explain how significant these hearings are that are going to begin in about an
11:04 am
hour or so. so what's on these hearings are unprecedented in scale and scope and scale because they're all $52.00 states and 3 international organizations taking part and scope because it's looking more than 50 years. old. israel is occupation of the palestinian territories. it goes back to these hearings of 2022 when the un general assembly asked the international court of justice the will cold as it is known to look at to deliver, sorry, and advisory non binding opinion on the occupation. i'm going to be looking at 2 specific questions that the court has been asked to address and they all firstly, what are the legal consequences of the ongoing of the patient, of israel on the rights of policy use to self determination from the prolonged occupation settlement. and i like sation of palestinian territories and full months
11:05 am
question then the 2nd one is, how do those of policies affect the legal status of the occupation? what are the legal consequences that arise? not just for his royal, but the old states. i'm the un from this states. this important to point out that this is different from the hearing of the case south africa was born on genocide. this is a not connected. i think we'll take the cold perhaps, at least a year passed by the end of the year. they will deliver this advisory known binding opinion. okay, thanks very much, ben. and we will be told me to you at the, at the hague, throughout the day. thanks. so much i the hello cindy is having to do with the hardships of israel as occupations of generations. well, each person might experience different struggles. the theme is similar. it's one of land, fast lives lost and time spent wasting. the abraham reports from the occupied west back home usually means safety and security for this palestinian comedy.
11:06 am
it's the opposite. surrounded by illegals. really supplements threatened by increasing attacks by sellers. what's the opposite? the font tells us. his family is left with no choice but to lock themselves in money. and that's what i like. we can keep the house. i don't want my sister's got mad and then i couldn't even go to the wedding's. got always hovering around. he says, is really settlers want them out so they can move in. but this is the only home they own. and the only time they know they call themselves the guardians of the hill. the boys we've been here before, the settlers, my grandfather built the house in the 1970s. then my father and mother inherited it . we are here protecting it as well and we'll pass it onto our kids. since 1967, israel husband establishing illegal supplements on hilltops, overtime they expand at the expense of palestinians. most of one family says they will not leave little home on the hill for them. this is how the experience is
11:07 am
really military occupation, violent attacks and legal documents, and then grabs. that's no move to the center of the occupied to us back in columbia . a few jacob with for one family. the occupation means tragic losses of life the worst. it was a bitter sweet moment when sammy's new brand son was born in 2005, they named him. yes, if after his uncle who was killed by his really forces 4 years before. oh and the general had done so we wanted him to bring joy to the house. i was heavy. he was born in jordan and i travelled there to meet him. but in 2023 and just a few weeks before turning 18. yes, it was buried in the same grief site as his name say, booth killed by the same army. that no pony them, sammy's son, sam and mohammed were also killed by israeli forces in 20022015.
11:08 am
we cannot bring children to this life to die, but to live we want to be able to live in peace and have a good life. i lost my sons when do a very young they were 1115 and 17 years old. nope. every palestinian find many shares this heavy loss of life, but the few patients still 6, that's all on people, one way or another. that's good. now to have run the sounds of the occupied to us bank and see how life there has been brought to a whole once brimming with life and a bustling economy. life is fading away in new york city. now it's a mere echo of what it once was that how did you get in the markets? a dead? no visitors, no foreigners. we don't find customers for the goods we buy and are in debt for the 75 year old sales pet us. any fee is local artisans, a symbol of the cities rich cultural heritage. in this, i had a,
11:09 am
i've been here for 17 years and i keep thinking that if we get a bit better, instead of every year, it gets worse and worse. people us get their humiliated the checkpoints, so they avoid this very hold together. this one is something here. and however on the economy capital of the occupied to us bank, the cities still has a few hours before it goes to see people are shopping and working with us on has that's way earlier in the old city of hebron posted in see time to is a victim of occupation lost in cues, alternative routes, checkpoints, enclosures times, toes and from a nation stuck in waiting need that. but he just either the occupied to us thing i'll need is joining us now from everyone in the occupied westbank and it would have fixed uh, the illegal settlements, the segregation and the surveillance. what are they will having to as well let me
11:10 am
tell you 1st who from where i am from the old city of hebron that has been surrounded by gates like the one you see behind me. it's one of more than a 100 gates across the queue in the, across the old city only here that has been preventing palestinians from really a freedom of movement. you know, we've just met the 16 year old coming out and he's been telling us that he had to go through 3 of those dates and checkpoints to be able to get out of the city and buy some groceries for the home. he says that even though the soldiers knew me, you know, he says they still are giving me hardships when i want to go out and leave. and this is an example of how kind of city is, are being segregated, you know, in certain neighborhoods inside the old city. if you're not a resident of that neighborhood, you're not allowed to come in. our colleague was telling us that his aunts lives inside the old city, but he cannot go to visit her now because he's preventive by those checklist because he's not consider the registers as illegal residents inside. so this is
11:11 am
part of the reality that the palestinians are living through. you're talking about 700. there's really some of those inside that are protected by more than 101500 this way, the soldiers and on the contrary to the comparison on the other side, you see within 30000 palestinians and sides living and going through the hassle of everyday life, you know, the main theme of supplements, boston is what tell you is just to push palestinians out of their lives to make their lives really more and more difficult that they have no option, but to leave it. but, you know, when we've been preparing the sort of poor token to follow city is all across the occupied was bring the message from them was clear. resilience, steadfastness. we have no other ways other place to go. so here we're saying in here we're going to have kids and continue to live on. okay, thanks so much. need a need to abraham the in the occupied with bank as well. let's keep this going into
11:12 am
hits the occupied east, jerusalem, and speak to word challenge who is standing by where we can use explained how entrenched these ready occupation is. there was something i think like need it was doing for the west bank that i think the best way of answering that question is to give a sense of what life is like under occupation for people who are living in any streets that particularly young palestinians of the risk of being harassed by the police stopped and searched is, is always high a better off, frequent arrest as well. but it is right. he's claiming a security concerns. if you're young, you're off and bob from going to alex a most again because he is right, is claim secure. so you can sense that is a treatment of palestinians in all its bodies, straits them. the basically says essentially that they offered a sale mates carry the residency permit called
11:13 am
a blue id and if they don't fit it, so the occupation policies that and they can have that blue id taken away from them, which causes a huge problems. there are restrictions on process not allowed to protest, not allowed to fly the palestinian flag. and there are problems when it comes to set up pricing religious holidays because it's ready to start to use things like palestinian celebrations. and i should stress that that applies not just the muslims that applies to palestinian christians as well. uh then you have course the separation bowl which divides palestinians and occupied east jerusalem from families that might live in the west bank. so that's that kind of a brief insight into the daily tapestry. as in a quit these dangers that product simeon space. but know all the rest of the i think, typifies the denied a protestant in why small side lands and they've probably creation all of it spends
11:14 am
settlements and we can hear now from a settlement expert who can take us around to one which is a palestinian area or occupied east jerusalem. that is slowly big, stripped away from them. yeah i'm, i'm somebody to talk to somebody in the town when i have cut off to somebody in the wall just a moment to ski lift it. don't give me any of the outside of a handful of the media. if you have similar effect, the fee i would generate a sort of cd will be tested, but there are many didn't have the state that i love you. so i have talked to somebody last about too many of the me a min must have to put the shuffling though. see, i was about 15. yeah. how many of the outside i'm police look look, are they in the head of the, of the police a, let's go up the street, but please get a handful of to me a bit of this time about his comments are listed funny. if he i had a few, definitely a handful of premier. so my me to speak to how we a here and for us to new york. beautiful. see me. i perceive yourself. we definitely love. yeah. i, lia who the limits. yes. it the g or what,
11:15 am
how many to me it or i'm really the good off. if you saw that has the swahili managed and i'm really to be a hell of a sudden cutty, a salon. well, how that, how you the money with the money in bit there. mind that the mean husband, he projected income and what's the use of gun a little sooner rather than somebody needs what, what the who we had that how you projected income in the faith of this ideal and shot mode, click on it. and so how long will put this have to unlock different, obviously for lee, and we'll show you the most who didn't feel comfortable. i even love how many, if they hadn't been been as if you had been a month to ha. and i wish i could come, you have had many too many of the most with their fear. i didn't want to allow me to come out of your models with them on the i bought on content at our level. it'd be not. yeah, i mean i'm going to tell them then how the numbers you the so that you knew all just a moment. be a little bit off. yeah, let's sort of had it so that really what kind of to come for us to be of the size of the inside of my be in a, a, a, a, a, a, a month to. so that will be a month depending on who the, you know, still katia,
11:16 am
and then we'll have for the month to call earlier. who the, let's see. and what was your different credits in the one who another company that, that the little golfing does come with. when they have to come in with that, come in, but i will pop it and then come and come out to show how you doing if you had the what are the for the to the one level you have to have to you know. busy what our issue we had the month to helping them out for the month to earlier, who the lucky okay. but to be definitely a handful of so the nea me said albany at the jamal law. what couldn't my, if i left and went up to the left, he tested them in the stomach and it's so easy for you. definitely, buddy a to so he can see settlements, land appropriations, and whom demolitions of 6 were risen. restrictions on process restrictions on self expression, what it amounts to really is that a wholesale negation hall's kind of simians rights to self determination. you know,
11:17 am
bodies to re send them to them. like i think so much roy a challenge for us and occupied east jerusalem then going to go to rough uh, in the goals district where honey mike moody, standing by for us. and of course, those and guys are like yourself and been on the constant bombardment for more than 4 months now. i mean, is there any hope it will that the i c j hearings will actually change anything on the ground for you as well? a lot of palestinians realize that the, the ice is you will eventually issue a non binding decision or resolution that will not change things on the ground. but their full being, the more this is becoming public. the more people are aware of the, the daily hardship that is caused by the military occupation of the policy to enter a tories eventually something will it change? it's a very appreciative, they appreciate the gesture and the fact that they're $55.00 countries including international organization are behind. this is something that we haven't seen in
11:18 am
the past. the a as a collective effort to put in and do the daily difficult it difficult is caused by the occupation. but what we're looking at is a, a 56 years of the rudo military occupation. effectively a cut off the entire territories created to reservation one that is disconnected by so many settlements. that's the west bank and one that it has been under blockade for the past 16 years of lock. it has been defined by ongoing political oppression by economic certification. by continuing dictating the life of the whole aspect of life for palestinians, it dictates how, where they can live, where they can to study, where they kind of travel and to whom they can be can marry. it definitely stated the economy of the gaza strip and cause the wide spread destruction and lifted large
11:19 am
a portion of the population completely cut off from the rest of the world. it continues to do so causing a great deal of damage to every, every level, to your bike, restrict, put more restrictions on the crossings and restrictions on the amount of supplies getting in, including fuel and glued. it could get a cooking gas and, and preventing it from reaching to a to homes, to hospitals, to businesses, just creating eyes conditions on the ground that makes life a quite unbearable for the vast majority of people just before the war is really military. impose what it looks like, a dietary system. it for the people in gaza by allowing certain kinds of food supplies and, and fruits and, and mid as a not allowing other because the, according to the, the militant, is really military. and these are luxury, is that the palestinians do not need. it also imposes restrictions in movement as
11:20 am
in fact. and this might be shocking for a lot of of yours is the traveling out of gauze i consider to be luxury and not everyone is allow the vast majority of being the case then inside the gaza strip deal. all of these of practices are part of ongoing policies, just happen in the past 4 months. that it happened at a major scale that everybody's seeing. but it has been going on since the past 6056 years of ongoing occupation. thanks so much, honey. honey. mike, me for us and rasa as well as honey mentioned they, after 16 years as well as land air and sea blockade has stifled opportunities before the war cause i had one of the highest literacy rights in the world. but it also had one of the highest unemployment rights to die. the war has destroyed every facet of palestinian existence. 2.3000000 people are on the brink of semen risking their lives on the is released not the 5 to collect food from the few. i trunks allowed into the territory terracon,
11:21 am
but as soon as more from rough or desperate and hungry palestinians are running out of options under these very snowy. before you the risky the lloyd to reach one of the few 8 trucks entering colors of 65 in the theatre in uh yeah i the people don't have food. people don't have the minimum necessities of life. how much they came in, hoping to find something, at least some flour. people put themselves and their lives in danger for just little things. they families, we belong 0 is absolutely nothing. i can assure you that people will die of hunger . israel's restriction to suit you and medicine entering district is making it almost impossible for palestinians to survive. the united nations seized everyone and goes is facing simon like conditions. let me see how that will be
11:22 am
a monthly people now go to the garbage to find something to wait to do that. my god, help every one. most of all is very come. boots have also fired thomas city and fish shipment of gauze, coast threatening volley till source of suits the men were using small boats to catch fish of the cause of coast near rough off. and under that, it was very blue case. they used to be a able to fish up to 37 kilometers out to the sea, but not anymore. in japan, your refuge account, but no bring comes of the food shortages. slowing mills have ground to haute. there is no police. the price of $1.00 bar defeat today has reached more than $3000.00 shekels or more than a $1000.00 in the following months into israel's will garza palestinians who have
11:23 am
been displaced many times over on now close to stone station. and israel continues to restrict the amount of entering the territory tarika by zoom out just a rough, rough southern gauze of all the gals is on the is riley, military assault palestinians, and the occupied with bank and east jerusalem are enjoying is riley miller, tree rules and what the you in calls and environment of rapidly to terrier i think human rights michael apples reports. 6 ok, i'm going to go in the system is really check point in the occupied waystack assign of these roles, military control over the territory. since 1967 move in 3000000 palestinians here, face about 700 different obstacles today. freedom of movement including checkpoints, roadblocks, gates, there's no other way to quarters about the above. i already took over the human
11:24 am
rights organization. i mean, anyone who looks at the situation on the ground knows it is about i. right? so organization, say palestinians or denied basic civil rights, including that or freedom of assembly association and expression. the deal was low accords signed in washington dc in 1993 was supposed to bring about palestinian self determination via quotes divided the waste bank into areas a, b, and c area c, exclusively for his riley's, constitutes about 60 percent of the waste bank and that figure is growing, there are up to 3 quarters of a 1000000 is really settlers living in about 250 settlements in violation of international law. well, they open the carry weapons, often intimidating, attacking,
11:25 am
and harassing palestinians to displace them from the children in the occupied ways bank are also target. israel is the only country in the world to prostitute children in mill creek quotes. meanwhile, is uni. safe says 2023 was the was due on the record, in which soldiers killed a $124.00 children in the un special rapid to an independent expect responsible for monitoring human rights in the occupied territories was recently bought from entering israel. francesco, a been a z says that's been happening for the last 16 years by refusing the entry east through ease of using only hours of the buying power. so as long as it's renee, you'll combine power into with mexico. history, if any, through some of these are leads to go along with their own. so the united nation recent come inspires really prime minister benjamin netanyahu point to
11:26 am
a doubling down on its continued military occupation. i'll call you over to you. i will not compromise on full is rabies, courtesy control the little territory west of the jordan river. you know, it might in the system is what has prevented over the years. the establishment of a palestinian state, which majority for is really raids. happen 19. now, nearly $400.00 palestinians, including more than a 100 children, had been killed in the occupied waste banks. since these rails will run cost would be down in october. my example, which is 0 atomic commit as an assistant professor of public policy at the door hot institute for graduate studies. thanks again for joining us here in the studio. i mean, obviously over the last 4 or 5 months we've been talking extensively about what is happening in dallas a bit is that storage is pointed out, that goes well beyond that. we can just talk a little bit about occupied. so the, the, the occupied areas is ready forces in sit lavonne,
11:27 am
this have killed $400.00 palestinians the times $7000.00. how big an impact is that having it's a, it's a huge impact. i mean, i mean, there's only one way to talk about this conflict from a, from a simpler colonial and then see, this is one of the last existing occupations. and i would essentially, and it's a vicious one. i mean it's, uh, i mean, the so many rulings reports coming like and on describing the, the video advance about that system in place. and then you have, these are in a big acting as a, but i out of state, you know, it's above and it acts up international. it, it has no difference whatsoever. and, and, and the other thing the also is, is. busy the, with the, with the, with the lack of any vision and disapprobation. i think this reputation to the situation with this is the moment of truth. i mean with,
11:28 am
with the genocide that award winning and gaza what's happening the, what's bank with the scripting of lands kind of how the prospect for the 2 state solution will end up with either an appetite system supported by is what i mean executed by is what it is, it's our lives in the west or on my national estates. but in any case, i mean for me, what really methods is the international community. and when we say that function for minute, at this time, this, this moment, we have to close the supply competitive community. and we have an awakening from the global soft countries. most of these countries have suffered from colonialism from patients. the legacy of south africa meant the less standing. yeah. and screening and seeing enough is enough, you know, the powerful influence and influence of countries in the community, especially like us, you know. yeah. for the elizabeth breakdown, some of the violations that we've been talking about. the inspection was dogs site as well as illegal occupation by like basic human rights principles. and here are a few examples. article one of the universal declaration of human rights states.
11:29 am
everyone has the right to live freely with dignity, but as well as military occupation discriminant treat laws rights and destruction of palestinian homes by like this. article 9 says no one shall be subjected to arbitrate or wrist. palestinians that held on the so called administrative detention for years. that means without being charged to going to trial. and the union takes original 7 chose freedom of movement. and they occupied with bank including east jerusalem. tens of thousands of palestinians enjoy degrading treatments, and hours of washing at is ready military check points. article 17 upholds the rights to own property, but on the is ready laws and policies. palestinian homes are demolished and the land is comp, this guys it to make way for legal settlements. parks and roads. a lot to unpack. there is a long list of violations can if we can just begin with the freedom of movement. there is a huge impact on people just trying to go about their everyday lives. yeah, basically it's, it's, it's, i mean, i mean, there's nothing new here. i mean, is
11:30 am
a process of being humanizing for us to use 3 things and like animals, i mean the skim, often efficient statements by use that i need a statement. and the, i mean that's simply punitive. look a patient, i mean it isn't about the system and the 3 the stuff. ok, it's every aspect of the life and that that has been ongoing since 96 to 7 and awards. and it's, it's just getting more vicious and more vicious. and all these principles that you have listed. i mean, i mean it's not only that is what it is in violation of them. now it's going to thing as on the side of the modem, that gives us the award that is being added on to the mess of feelings of people and this, they've got the civilian life. uh, i mean, i mean, so what, so is what it is really has been in the past the that's excellent and disregard before the mission.
