a huge road, no other refugee population, no other can pass their refugee status down through generations, like a family, hair, new heirloom. rather than 6 to reset to or integrate palestinian refugees when we all expect them to do. unreal. does the opposite be to ensure that the senior refugee will forever remain a refugee as well as their children, grandchildren, and every following generation. until one day, they can all storming towards rise to claiming for themselves exactly as how much they'd on october 7th. but beyond perpetuating, but a steam, young refuge would unreal schools are breeding grounds for incitement, a dread and mar 2, don't numerous studies, no more of that report. they don't tell glorification. do you had encouragement? and then they semitism taught in onrush schools every day on ro,
7:01 pm
we've been through a natural non financing your financing, is grooming palestinian children into terrorists after all that has been exposed about on rights very clear to date on your with never again, operating guys as it has prior to october 7th, it's role in guys that is finished and it must be replaced on what must be the funded and this dismantled supporting. gotten right today is supporting come us, and wherever supports from us supports a future of bloodshed, not a future of peace and co existence, as we want to see in gaza in israel, everywhere to mr. president, why we hold this discussion in this whole there? hostages being tortured, being abuse, being defiled. this is not, speculation. 8 is fact. this is the hailey reality that these rarely women and men
7:02 pm
have been suffering for nearly 5 months. and this organizations in action is unforgivable. yeah, it's even worse than anything the action, the ceaseless cause for a cease fire, clear proof that the un prefers to for the hostages suffering to continue. i implore you, i implore you to make the release of the hostages, your number one priority, that could change everything the rape can not contain you. the sexual violence cannot continue and come as a survivor. survival through a ceasefire cannot continue to be promoted advanced here. instead of quoting for a ceasefire, we've no precondition the general assembly. every human body should be demanding the must berries, they should turn themselves in and release all the hostages. these are the only acceptable terms for
7:03 pm
a read ceasefire. come us must be eliminated. re priest, mass murder, it must never be given a free pass by the un, and tara can not, can never be tolerated. i thank you mister president. of the united nations has become a collaborate so with sexual perverts, the united nations general assembly is committed to the survival of a terror organization and supporting abra is supporting how mass some of the lines the from these riley. i'm back for the to the united nations. he was preceded in his comments by the palestinian ambassador to the united nations who had a very different take on what's happening. he called upon the assembly saying out the lives of all children on not less worthy or valuable than anyone else. he said, all children are not less worthy. we are acutely aware of those who see us as
7:04 pm
a less a race. he said, is ro, is stopping all children. our orphans went on to give examples of children who died of acute now nutrition saying, look at all children looked at us. and we also heard from the you and them by said solution stein, speaking about how disappointed and trouble listen. stein was by the us vito, of a resolution at the un security council. cooling upon the general assembly saying the assembly must step in warning about the prospect. somebody is riley ground operation roof are saying possible ground operations and roof are alarming. and he joined calls for an investigation, particularly an incident last week to evolve the killing of more than a 100 civilians in a single incident and re cold the jurisdiction of v i. c. c. in the matter. let's go over to kristen salumi joins us now from the united nations. first of all,
7:05 pm
kristin, of quite a unusual message, i guess from know how to frame this from these riley. i'm by so that basically coming pretty much a lot of the prime is you and bodies and organs as being supposes of terrorism. the right to you is rarely ambassador attempting to put the focus on the united nations. and what it describes is it's a complicity with allowing him off to continue operating when the united nations and member states here are really focused on the humanitarian situation, impacting civilians in gaza. this meeting was triggered by a security council veto. the u. s. veto of a resolution that was proposed by algeria calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. and it's actually the 3rd time that the united states vetoed
7:06 pm
a cease fire resolution in the security council. and what we are seeing in this meeting is uh of increasing isolation on the part of the united states for its position at the un regarding a ceasefire. in earlier votes that the united states cast, its vito, a number of countries of stains. and the last vote only one country, the united kingdom of staying 13 out of 15 council members voted in support of a humanitarian ceasefire. so what we are hearing in this meeting is many countries expressing their concern that the united nations has not been able to act given that so many people. now more than 30000 have died in gaza and increasing reports of people dying children dying from starvation. and hunger, the un puts 10 infants at least on the list as having died from malnutrition and
7:07 pm
that number is expected to grow. so the comments from lichtenstein were interesting and relevant in that they called on un resolutions that call on the security council to act when there is credible evidence in their actions could prevent atrocities. and also we're expecting to hear from the elected members of the security council speaking as a group for the 1st time, the 10 elected members of the council speaking out against the counsels, inability to act because of the veto given the situation is so dire. so while israel is attempting to focus on the un and it's critiques of the un response, the membership is saying that right now we really need to focus on the humanitarian situation. and, and that is what this meeting is all about. how significant is it?
7:08 pm
since you mentioned the comments violations time, that it is a country like lucian stein, not a country from the out of almost some world that is cooling on the general assembly . he said, the, this assembly must that pain to try and intervene because of frustration with the deadlock in the security council. how significant is it that the representative from nation? so i also reference the i, c, c is having to step in again, i think it speaks to the growing isolation of israel and the united states in this body, the general assembly long ago called for a cease fire humanitarian ceasefire. more than 3 quarters of member states, so that goes far beyond the arab and islamic world number of countries expressing their support for such action and their concern about the disregard for
7:09 pm
international law. it was the united states that prompted this action in the general assembly whereby a veto would trigger the discussion of the general assembly. they were very critical of russia for blocking action on ukraine and the security council. now the tables have turned and the world body and many countries are saying the, the members of the security council needs to respect the views of the world when it is so clear and undivided on a subject. all right, thanks so much for kristin salumi that spring and now tell them how to move these assistant professor of public policy at the del high institute for graduate studies . thanks for being with us. all we witnessing these ready rhetoric at the you and becoming more, more extreme as the isolation grossing the lashing out and trying to brand you and bodies and institutions as collaborators with terrace and sexual pivots. quite an
7:10 pm
extreme message. yes, of course, but the but, but i get it because these are, is, is, is really exposed law and the feeling, the pressure and whenever the fin, the special, they use the cost of the holocaust, which is a heinous, the barbaric, a crime of course. but then what i've seen is have to do with total cost, again nothing. but as soon as we're living with the land and peace, when the close happened, then we know the story of the steps. but the reason i have so it is today is that all need to own the or the old with start the arguments would when it's comfortable when it comes to this, what from the 4th of the course the got the use and then october, the 7th. i'm in between, there is nothing in his and then his is in his head. i mean, does the best of the, there's nothing about the uprooting of the nation from its own homeland, maintaining a vicious minute took a patient and all these conflicts and all this mess, good things, i'm going to try to genocide than what happening and doesn't have as of nothing major out of the back of houses. and there's because that coefficient now when it
7:11 pm
comes to threatening or when all these sexual negations will face and that's, that's all fine. why not the one it depends on the investigation to take place. invite the un, allow dice to see it become employees that i'm part of style and investigate most the celebration. i'm also your conduct. is there any contact in the pipeline delivery, many kohls by independent experts by you and bodies? asking precisely for that sort of like the baby and asking precisely for that to be allowed into it. but it does, it is the entity to the, to, to isn't it. and also to the occupied territories. so at this and see about this, what i'd still happen, we're on input of comfortability. no one is. busy in favor of these crimes, even in the conflict stipulations, but when it comes to applying at the national north has to be applied in an equal weight. you kind of just pick and choose when it fits you. you want that you want to condemn, decided ations, which, which i'm not even framed as not. i've not been proven yet. owner will. okay,
7:12 pm
fine. kind of any kind of give the game away when it comes to dismantling of on role when he talks about how he does on refugees, states has to be able to be passed down within families, palestinian families. so this coming from those representatives of a state that believes in a, an ultima take what they call rights over a ton for jews who are not born in palestine. you may come from any parts of the world and claim that you exercising a right to settle in palestinian territory although it as well. but that palestinians should not be allowed to have a right to return to lands they. they were born in all the children, the people who were born, that yes, of course, and this is the race and racism this up. i think, you know, that's the ways that it is behaving so even for this, it displaced, but a student has incentive to buy from the know the 70 percent a guys. and it says use of what originally refugees. now they also,
7:13 pm
they have to lose this in the fifty's basis. what is it in to be happy up to speed for the jewish people? that's what it says them. i mean, do i mean that's that, that's the only deficient offices and so, but back door to us. i mean, if again, if let's, i mean isn't also like use a couple of one little one members off of being engaged in the big members of i'm not sure about that, but i just thought i'd get acquisition allegations so far. no independence investigation has been gutted by any even of the in the states the 100. well, unless i see what does this as you will if this tend to be true? owner well has 50000 employees. it serves uninstall. busy displays nation, does this justify something down on the wrong coupling age? the motor was and the ministry gets men. date is this logic collect the punishment? is this how states, civilized democratic states and nations be collect the punishment? it's a very push the sick logics. i mean, that's a problem. all right, we're going to take of us back to the united nations general assembly with the at
7:14 pm
you and a bunch of different cultures speaking, how do you have the goal is to find the ongoing aggression launched by israeli occupation forces for more than 5 months. now i guess to our but it's to me and brothers and gaza strip does not have to do and reports say, the numbers of victims continued to grow. they exceeded $30000.00 in addition to tens of thousands of the wounded, missing under the pre. the majority of home women and children, in addition to 2000000 internally displaced people and gaza strip found that gcc members, dave the, at that 8 the, the big read their different graphs regarding the fear of the security council to adopt a draft resolution calling for an immediate cease fire, despite the fact that distressed resolution gardeners the support of 13 members of the security council. this was backing away from the historic commitment in the laundry. um, but of the you and the charter that a good for saving,
7:15 pm
succeeding generations from the scourge of ford. we also see that using the veto died has cost the security council an opportunity to undertake its responsibility for the ongoing regarding the ongoing aggression and gaza strip that stretches the, the internet service and security. that's called the 2nd or 3rd senator and has led to the address to the president of the security council as the sun, but to invoke article 99 of the charge that calling the closer to declare an immediate humanitarian. she's fired. helping you, mister president. we would like to draw attention to the dangerous repercussions of using a view to, to the efforts. in stuffing digression and protecting passivity as it goes, a step, sending the messages of double standards and international relations and addressing of international and global crises in light of the failure of the security council gcc members. this quote at the southern assembly to undertake is responsibility and
7:16 pm
safe guarding international peace and security and accordance with articles some of the charter and it called the need for the enforcement of the most recent and assembly resolutions that quote for an immediate cease fire and goes astray and we also strongly con them. that is really threats to launch a ground. mean it's about the nation in dropped off and we weren't that these threats have increased the levels of escalation violence. i'm just everybody's ation in that age and we caught them in the strongest terms possible, the procedures and moses for force displacement of civilians and to check them category can be exclusive. i need military operation and drop a warrant against new mexico that added to a series of ford cars and tries i guess you might, i think also strickland occupied by spring factory. we hauled the security guards are responsible for stopping those really aggression recon them. also the policies and measures of system i think star of ration using windows as a result of ford,
7:17 pm
we're against defenseless civilians. by is very lucky beeson in northern. does that strip these cuz i can assist you blayton violations of think that's something that a lot of the international in addition to a complete disregard of the i see 2 rules on the 26th of january going is ready to implement the 6 pro vision, the a measures to prevent the crime of the size of this context speak of them as well as the systematic targeting bias relative division i guess on july and regret the fact that some donors have suspended that funding to andre, that is indispensable for more than 5000000 but as the news, particularly in light of the get this traffic humanitarian conditions, we the remind as does it and secretary, i have called that the agency represents that with the backbone for the
7:18 pm
humanitarian disposal and garza and we align ourselves with the secretary. so as cool afford countries, was that something that the funding to underwent to reconsider their decision? i'm just to their funding to the agency really a firm i was good. and finally, but inc. historic positions and support of the steadfast as of those same people and they're just goes in accordance with the service and who should have been the framework of the other piece initiative? calling for the establishment of independence. i say i stayed on the night, the $67.00 borders with it's capital instead of us and them. we also the guns at express appreciation for the efforts as it seemed efforts foot and i'm getting the negotiated successful to reach the framework agreement for them use as his fired and gaza strip, including the 1st by caught side. each of them that you a student is the hostages and the prisoners. the news and i have more of a to cause a stream we call to continue the efforts with the partners as part of media that
7:19 pm
you might think is his process is higher to stop the blood shut of them. but this thing is ink as a strip and the today the need for the un security council to undertake it's, it's one submitted this. thank you mr. president. is like the gcs, the states regret the security council's failure to adopt a draft resolution despite the facts. so team member supported it that the woods of the concert on bass of the, to the united nations. also, she went on to strongly condemn, blatant violations of international role by israel and the systematic targeting of underwater. all right. all right, let's go now it's kristen said it was, you joins us from the united nations and course so as we hear more most because the, the frustration with the us and the us is use particularly that last vito's seems
7:20 pm
to be quite evident. right? yes, i thought it was very strong. the comments made by the guitar ambassador, she did not say the united states mentioned them by name, but was very critical of the veto saying that it could be seen as a double standard in international law and international relations. she warned of the dangerous repercussions of using the veto, and called for the immediate implementation of the general assembly is call for an immediate cease fire. it's very interesting because it's katara, of course, is a keen mediator between israel and how mosque between the united states and the palestinians and the israel years. so very strong comments coming from the country at the heart of these negotiations or what we're going to know. okay, let's go back to the terminal kind of move here in the studio and,
7:21 pm
and time. and we're talking about the speeches were being hate hearing for those viewers. so it just joining us. we're hearing a series of speeches in the general assembly. they're discussing the use of the veto recently by the united states. so we're also expecting that that will be in, addressed by fairly black. so really the head of underway and this been quite a bit of discussion about underway. the office for internal, this is united nations office of internal oversight services. according to reports just a few days ago, had a preliminary report which they basically said they have received no new evidence from israel since the initial presentation of claims concerning allegations. the unreal of stuff have been involved in any kind of wrong doing uh how much the operations will collaboration with us and so on. this is once
7:22 pm
a month off to these allegations which are being repeated. yeah. and then this brings us to the question why the key, the countries, many western countries, including the us, canada, some european countries, immediately called the fund donald was without doing their due diligence. i've been without allowing an independent investigation to take place and, and, and figured out what's happening. so again, it's a, it seems like this companies have lost the moral compass when it comes to this conflict, fully in support isn't fully uh, believe what everybody's rides, the negatives auto stories. and that's a problem. i think sammy, i mean that there is a trust issue i who is trust issue knowing that it's a national incentive notion in the system as it stands now. and if i'm not sure in the u. n. in this paul from come to these that use the veto, like the us in the blocking, any 3 of that 1st to bring
7:23 pm
a ceasefire to stop the process these and suddenly that's the situation. so it was it, how significant was it that we heard from the representative. listen, stein calling from the general assembly to step in, assign a frustration and what kind of the general assembly do it kind of do anything? because again, the countries who hold of you to colors going over is blocked. any of these, it is an oceans. sadly that's, that's, that's how the, how, how, how the un functions that you on is the legacy of an old data post, 2nd floor boards. and it's a, it's the present, the, the power to structure of these old times, best 1945. but now in 2023. we live in a tooth in a new era. i mean, then the downside of globe has changed. i mean, population wise, we have grown. it'd be good to numbers that countries like india comforters in south africa and nothing america, big populous, influential,
7:24 pm
thoughtful countries that have different opinions. the front stands and many issues . and they have no seat in this color that even within the u. n. and this brings us to the big question. the un really needs a very quickly for because with this kind of structure now with the visa fall of the way it's being, you was held by only 5 countries. that's the only way to present maybe one 3rd of the population. it's not a good system for the was there was also a reference to the i c c. i know. remind the by the listen, stein, a master that the i c, c has jurisdiction is i have a call for the i, c, c to intervene and investigate. it seems like it's like a wake up. cool. like what are you doing while you're not doing anything? because the licensee, even with with is a, is the intention policies of preventing it from cutting got investigation. insight is an old occupied plan, can then stop collecting evidence and then build a key as there is enough evidence for licensees to start acting. i mean,
7:25 pm
for god's sakes, i mean the entire crime, the genocide, the board is being added on tvs. i mean, what are they waiting for that you want to meet before the thousands of students? and it doesn't reflect because then an age of that all over the would stop interviewing. then people have lost time in and visit. what was the love, what this cons? mass killings, i mean you have so much evidence, but again, it's the politics. why mister could even kind of stop acting. i think he showed us what this question if he's unable to act because there's pressure on him that i think to do that dignified thing to do this for him to step down and see why on monday you, on officials of the past, the central and officials have done this me. we has also from the us ambassador to the united nation. well, he was actually the us representative in alternate to the united nations, robert would speaking about how they will continue to engage tirelessly. what did you make of that message and how it's likely to go down along general assemblyman,
7:26 pm
of course, is very frustrating. i mean, the us is isolated, seemed like, isn't it? i mean, i mean it's literally no, it's the us is the only country power from the thoughts you've got to do on that. there's the perfect thing is that i am and i'm not allowing what i need a solution to pass to to, to bring the ceasefire and the, i think it's a good thing about us. i mean, the, you know, 3 years ago this was russia and the americans would very you 40 and happy to see this mobilization. it gives that options. but even up against the russians, since that was the one was not like, you know, as one kept acting as one con, but now it's comes with the guns or what it's only the us alone protecting is right . even fans and that you have started up saying, well, i haven't use the veto power on the things you almost. i mean, what is the us image on the national? how do you know station or when we heard from the palestinian un representative we
7:27 pm
all months or? and he was talking cool. he made some distinct calls. he was asking, was not to load ships with weapons bound for israel to kill palestinian children not to give settlers these is this, this assign indication that of the palestinians all seeing actually more potential in now speaking to other causes outside of the security council? yes, exactly. i think it was a very smart move because under you added to his bypassing the butterflies, you on which, which is this function in this situation because of the v to powers. i'm reaching out for the millions of people that you're sort of that at the moment, which is the most placing, certainly with, by this time. and i think when it comes to this, the pressure is mounting up. we see more people. busy protesting the more demands like popular demands all over the world to stop this war. and the seen them cause again has become on the top of the agenda. and i think he's smart to capitalize
7:28 pm
with this. and that is i'm, there's more of needed from the student authority. it's the plastic, the presentations offices all over the world to do more effort to capitalize on, on just a huge sort of that at the moment. how do you think, overall, when you look at what's happening in the general assembly and this meeting being called off to what we witnessed in the security council? what does it say about once a rift between the different organs of the united nations? so in the, in the, in the general assembly. so, i mean, but a son has one that's case, i mean, of course it's, it's like a collective agreement that you know, but i've seen this has the end of the test when, but a scene is how that i thought of states. so the soon as the ones that argument zip by getting because of the onset, the unjust flexion of the system. and the v to me kind of the things i'm not moving . so it's the us, is that i and, and one kind of and then tie of most of that,
7:29 pm
that was in another. and that's the situation with dealing with now. okay, bear with us the time, but i'm sure we're going to come back to you because it's going to be a believe quite to a day of a lot of speeches from the general assembly. let's go back to kristen. so moving, joins us now from the united nations. and kristen put this all into context of why we're seeing this session going on in the general assembly right now. yeah, it's very important to put this into context. this meeting was triggered by the last veto by the united states in the security council of an immediate humanitarian ceasefire resolution. the united states has used its veto 3 times in the 5 months since her mos attacked israel on october 7th. the veto automatically triggers a general assembly response during the 1st general assembly response to the 1st veto. an overwhelming number of member states, more than 3 quarters of them, supported the call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire. but the council has
7:30 pm
been unable to act since then the united states has argued that the, that the focus should be on negotiations in the region. it was clear that the united states didn't want to tie israel's hands with a permanent ceasefire call. but as time has worn on and the humanitarian situation has gotten worse and worse, member states have gotten more frustrated and more outspoken in their call for humanitarian ceasefire. and gradually we seen some of the us support in the council in terms of elected council members who might have abstained from the vote rather than cross the united states. but instead calling for cease fires. and we're seeing that play out here in the council as well. just now we were listening to the.
