12:03 pm
yes, sir. well a so far just judging from the patterns of deliberate, the tax on health facilities across the golf, instrumental in city of han, you and it's on the northern part then golf, the city one and the occasion. that is really military, is that war with the health care system across the gauze as durable, looking at hospitals, for example in honda and it's right now to hospital out of the hospital or not, the hospital were within the past 24 hours have been under military seizures, the really military in itself, in military equip, vehicle and time studies. attacking drones are in, circling these do facility the blocking the entrance with, with the pile of sand preventing medical is south by patients and new jersey inside the hospital from leaving safely and constantly failing to provide a safe current door for people. and in fact, we've a trapped inside the hospital what we getting confirmed from the hospital that not only it has been under constant bombing and tang shows,
12:04 pm
but also allow the speakers or ordering people inside the hospital that includes medical a stop injuries, patients inside dr. evacuated immediately and to come out only with their underwear on. and that has been confirmed by multiple sources. and i witnessed on the ground those who managed to sleep. the whole rolling situation inside the hospital here and over crowded rough uh the hospitals are, are in dire need of medical supply. then at a gradually, they are running out of space running out of medical supplies, running out of sufficient care to save lives and to provide a proper and admitted into invention for, for people and injuries. as you have a hospital is a completely horrifying good story. as not all, it has been its form 4 times, but it is has turned in the words of james though the spokes version of unison who describe it during his visit. these hospitals that are devastations and have turned into graveyards for palestinians right now. honey,
12:05 pm
in addition to the siege of these medical facilities that we've mentioned, shift thought nicer. i'm of these really bombardment continues. what and where have they been targeting is what is on a simulate a as an intense bombing campaign, not a complete destruction of health, but the point injury is don't have a place to go to. but over night attack, the roof i city to residential buildings in central europe, a 100 defense were on the eastern part of it caused the death of 10 people, mostly children and women. people who weren't shouldering inside these residential building within the past 24 hours and rough alone. 30 people have been killed in these relentless attack. the multiple injuries all transferred either to do it hospital or on the job hospital in the central area. 18 people at sheltering and other residential homes in the very city that they were told to evacuate to because it is safe only to get bombs and killed inside these residential. and this is not
12:06 pm
the 1st time out there, but i have, i've been targeted repeatedly and more relentlessly within the past week than honda and is particularly around how much 50 residential city where 5 more people reported killed as of the attacks by drones. and by the tank shells, it's becoming a data routine that people are how have to deal with. but the after math is always with those are traveling. they're trapped under the rubble. and those who did not have a proper medical treatment inside the hospitals. honey, who was reporting from russia in the southern part of the gaza strip. thank you very much for your reporting honey. are you an agencies for palestinian refugees says that israel will no longer allow its food convoys to enter northern gauze that where people are dying of hunger director general phillip as a renew released the statements saying the is really, authorities have informed us that they will no longer approve any of our food coin boys to the north of gaza. and while has called the decision outrages and says
12:07 pm
israel is intentionally obstructing life saving assistance during a man made 7. sam rose is the director of planning it, and while he says, israel's decision is a death sentence for palestinians, the implications of dramatic coming after 5 and a half months of the relentless or the an independent no authority was last week of, of immune and comments. people are already dying of starvation up and up in the north, and this is essentially a death sentence on many of all those people i'm hearing ralph in this situation. the bombings are relentless everywhere. but the situation conditions, particularly harsh in the northern gauze for it, where we estimate there are about 250000 people who've been track that for about 5 and a half months. and where is the i saw the largest aid organization inside garza said, blocking audra from delivering of the arrows. i say just lessons. the conditions on
12:08 pm
is a deliberate obstruction. as my boss said, the commissioner general of and wrote a deliberate of struction like stating, assist, is to art for a population that is already facing. hug for funding and stuff ation. so sick pub simply more people will die. this is me coming hours, a un security council is set to vote on a draft resolution demanding a ceasefire. in the month of ramadan, it comes just days after the council failed to pass a u. s. draft recognizing the need for a ceasefire and goes to the new resolution is supported by russia and china, both of which vetoed the us draft. it also calls for unconditional release of is really captives and unrestricted access to $822.00 arab nations have called on the council to adopt this measure. well, joining us now to discuss this is the heart of he's a fellow and director of the foreign policy and security program at the middle east council and global affairs. thanks for being with us. this, this un resolution calling for a ceasefire. does it have any chance of passing?
12:09 pm
well, i don't think it will have a chance of passing because put simply us, we're most likely to do it in response to the, to on us resolution next week. and this good highlights, the continued sort of geopolitical entanglement between the us, china and russia on the security council. here's what i think many of our viewers might ask. the un draft resolution that was shot down 2 days ago, pretty much called for a ceasefire. you can quibble about the wording, but it pretty much called for a ceasefire. or how can the us now say that was the american text open to us now say no, we don't want this resolution that also calls versus 5. when the solution actually is not code for a few funds, it said imperative for if he's fine, there was an imperative need. that's why i said more or less, there was an imperative need pharmacies. find anybody that wants to avoid beings. very critical up is there, and if you look at the history of the, of the un votes for the us, since the establishment of u. n. u s. has vetoed more than 40 resolutions. i believe it's actually $46.00,
12:10 pm
a condemn user. this is going to be the continuation of that. we have the invasion of southern lebanon. we have the grand old tradition of the brand heights. us was always defending, is right at the national stage. but the point of making is that in the run up to the us draft, they were advertising. we want a ceasefire. and now they have a text that calls simply and unequivocally for a rama down ceasefire. so only by the way, for the next 2 and a half weeks or so, it, it doesn't make sense. it's not coherent for the us to say 3 days ago. we want to cease fire and to say today we're not gonna vote for this. well the, i think the us wants to be perceived as a leading the so called international order. but actually what we've seen, that's been a retreat in the us dealership and basically supporting his current, the occupation. and i think what's the us, there's not one to have, doesn't want to give the, the diplomatic, when to china or russia and for our international stage. okay. is there any chance
12:11 pm
for a ceasefire that you and i have stopped counting? how many draft resolutions have been shut down? i think there could be a potential that sees a ceasefire if all of the people and all of the states can get and negotiate the type of. she's fine, it's not only about the cx 5, but also how you can implement the ceasefire and put further pressure on this or eighties. i think for us, besides the un security council can actually put pressure on this res by removing and stop sending to weapons and financial support and providing them throughout the cover for this i'm going genocide. okay, but what, right. so that's in theory though, because in practice what they're doing is they've just passed a bill that makes sure they're not funding under wall, which is the posting in the u. n. agency that helps the the deliver is a to palestinians and gaza. so not funding palestinian refugees and gaza still providing weapon stays real. that's the reality of what's happening now. that's exactly it. and i think that the administration is really speaking about the escalation of war blinking has visited the region multiple times. i think that we will have to look at the domestic context here. i think we're coming to the
12:12 pm
election season is one of the domestic impact of this war. and i think the bi ministration wants to push forward and focus on the elections. one thing i shouldn't mention that i didn't to the us vice president couple of harris hasn't ruled outcomes, consequences on israel if the war continues as on his current pace. is that that some things that significantly, well, i think the buying of a decision is unhappy with the company as of this one because it's an impact. it's the re election purposes. trump is looking very strong and varies, but the drum states. so i think for us, administration is looking at its political survival. yeah, i think there's, that's why there's been a shift in rhetoric. but ultimately, if they do want to put pressure, read the pressure on is room for a stop to weapons, stop the funding and stop providing political cover. and we always come back to the same 3 things i, i did identify. thank you so much for joining us. thank program. so to be occupied westbank now where the video surface showing is really forces assaulting a child in a shop in her bron this was 2 weeks ago, but the video has just emerged. soldiers can be seen. we looked at the soldiers can
12:13 pm
be seen attacking this boy, forcing him to take off this shirt. the incident apparently started because the boys shirt had a gun printed on it, or a gun slogan on it. well, after the video was published, these really army actually rated the shop that you see here and tried to confiscate . the original footage meanwhile, is really forces have shot at least 5 palestinians during a raid and novelist palestinian groups confronted soldiers in the east of the city . troops also rated to car him to kalia ramallah, bethlehem, and hebron where we go to ramada now where we find the options here as needed it for him. did it tell us more about the incident with this young boy? do you know more about why they started, how it started, why they were slapping him around? was it really just about the t shirt? yes, it is about the teacher. a circle because we've seen is where it is was as being violent to children before wearing the shirts and asking them to take it off. it's
12:14 pm
not unusual to see is really soldiers abusing children. what is unusual is that we actually have a footage of them mistreating that charge just because he was wearing that shirts again. when we talk about these footage under occupation, under the heavy restrictions of these really forces against palestinians, people feel afraid to share what's happening with them on social media. because they said that he totally ation of these really forces which has happened in have run with these really soldiers have read that, that it store with the guy wasn't, has off the uh, owner of the store to give them and show them the original file of the c c t, v cameras, when they did not find that because it, the incident has happened around 2 weeks ago. they left with the sort of owner and says he's still scared of retaliation. that's why he didn't want to show that video to the people and he didn't expect it to be like that widely distributed in seen
12:15 pm
among spouse thing is it was just released late yesterday. but this gives you an idea of the intimidation against palestinians were not only in during the volume. and so these really forces but have to stay silent about is feeding more and more retaliation. can you talk to us a little bit more broadly about this intimidation that you, that you speak of because a lot of your reporting during this war and well before suggests, in fact, shows to us that this kind of video that we're watching now is just the tip of the iceberg. indeed, and sometimes when we see videos emerge, this is, this gives us the ability to show the world what's happening. but there are so many incidents with, you know, we have a phone call with the family. we say we're coming to film your story, but then they call us back and they say, sorry, we cannot, we would rest. and we would intimidated by the is really made it to the offices here in the occupied west bank. and this is why we try to find ways to tell the
12:16 pm
story to give testimony. sometimes we even show a heights people's faces so they don't show this violence against palestinians can happen really any the any with today if we want to speak about those is way the way we have less cities that have not been dated and it would be easier to talk about the cities that have not seen is really forces waiving them, then the cities that have been rated or out of the 10 governor rates of the occupied to us like only to we did not see the ports of israeli forces going there . so this gives you the context of the story that palestinians are going through violence of these really forces the and, and the out. and it's only occasionally these that we get to see those with this to show the violence, vince immunization against ballasting. yeah, and look, you do a remarkable job of bringing us the story is also interesting. what you say that the majority of cities are actually targeted by rates. so that is the norm. when there isn't the raid that has become now,
12:17 pm
the exception knew that abraham reporting from ramallah and be occupied westbank always get to talk to you thinking it a is still a head on elsa 0. the dumpster striking south korea widens other medical professors joined protests against a government plan to increase the number of medical students the pod came in to be used as the aisle c suffered casualties. we have not suffered states. pilots is thank goodness we did have injuries from a missile strike on a guest house thought providing on to who they to say no delta standards to all of us. any anyone in particular i said to facing realities. government seems here to whittle down the we're taking your life back now to amman. jordan, where the jordanian foreign minister of speaking. he's holding
12:18 pm
a press conference, also with the united nations secretary general antonia whichever is this listening to both of them. but it's to me, it's not r i c p live in 5. that means over 1000000 percent is our facing common supplies have not been allowed into major parts of got done putting north. so basically what we have is done, but assuming those are, can, based on any balance and we're having the same as dying from starvation from dehydration. this has done on for way too far is that it has violated pretty humanitarian. lo, it free motor friendship in every community and value. and unfortunately, the world is still unable to say it often seems or today the security council it'd be voicing the resolution, demanding a cease fire, demanding the entry of the supplies we edge or member of the security council to support the solution of only to send that message that's what's happening is unacceptable, and what's happening has to stop, obviously,
12:19 pm
as well as ignored you on security council resolutions before. there are no indications that that's what it on or this one. but i think what adopting that is lucian would do today is just send a message that is what i cannot continue to with the solution with infinity and complete disregard to international law and complete disregard to human values and incomplete disregard to life. sarah, who said it to uh please uh, not too long ago, guys to become an open graveyard, not just for children but to for international and the consequences for that are extremely diverse, stating, let's just do the region but to go whole principles of peace and order that to your organization stands for we thank you for your strong voice. we thank you for the position is that you've taken demanding respect for it to nice to have a lower demanding respect for the you on shots are and urging and immediate and to
12:20 pm
crimes. and to the killing and starving gold of the innocent. and we will continue to work with you. so to make sure that we in this madness, and we're going to continue to work with our domestic partners, to make sure that the world stands united and seeing enough is enough. you're not getting enough for crimes enough from us occurring of, of the, of innocent and enough to impunity for violating international and imitating as low as one of the few on. and jordan have been sorted to partners for decades. not only do we for west together on the defense thing in the issue, but we also work together on addressing the needs of effigies. obviously under was here on additive nice. the commission tension on it was held him and his organization have been on tremendous job and trying to ease the suffering with
12:21 pm
different, assuming people that those times that are again trying our, our humanity. so just wanna say that underway is indispensible. it is there is, but this is there to place a bill and we're happy to see that funding countries are coming back now to helping or save lives because every dollar that is given to a girl is saving human life. i mean, $3.00 taken away from uncle, that is the risk of having to try and suffer and die from, from the level of food in medicine. so we stand together in supporting the agency and, and everything. what else do you need to provide under what with the support that it's what deserve. so that to kind of again, do the basic job of just simply saving price on. so we've been working together on many other costs. it's a full corporation, particularly in relation to the cd and refugees, and why we're grateful for the support the line and international community has been given to help us in our efforts to provide student. if you use with
12:22 pm
a dignified lives and meet their needs and make sure that they're not victimized again, they've been victims of conflict with some of victimize them by having been ignored by this a nice community. but i have to say that we must bring the alarm and bring get loud about the dwindling support that's coming to the futures. many you're an agency is cutting down their services enjoy and simply because not, and i think it is coming back to me is the burden was shipped to us and we simply come up to category that alone. so again, we urge that our partners continues to show that the responsibility to woods. so you're going to choose who do deserve a life of dignity and fulfillment until conditions are conducive for them to voluntarily go about to their country, which is the only feel to stick on so to their flight. so one of those issues, so we're going to continue to with his partners. we the immediate priorities right now in which we are aligned. and decoration allows sufficient miniature and supplies and, and obviously prevent what would be another massacre and rough uh,
12:23 pm
before the seeing going to the will lead to humanitarian massacre. these are the government is not listening. they're still re affirming that they would go into the house. and i would just conclude by saying that we come up to allow a group of friday, cuz racist extremist ministers to do them the future of the agent, to more conflict and more and more immediately we cannot allow them to continue to can with infinity. thank you. sir, i will come you in jordan and i look forward to further engagement. so i'm a local d, as for the administrative society, the of friends. thank you for your warm welcome. and it's good to be back, enjoy to them, especially at such a critical time for the region and for the world. when i see jonathan,
12:24 pm
i see solely that is the connection. and i see in the words and deeds of his majesty king god de la, a global champion for peace. and by seating the spirits of the people of jonathan and guardian, almost compassion, daughters of those fleeing people. jonathan is the largest number of fathers, thunder refugees. i visited the comparatively it today and quote, man, jonathan, for your people thought his locker see for the vital work of old. well, you have also opened your hodson daughters to many of those, including refugees from cdm. and i urge the international community to support jordan as it supports millions of people he needs it is very welding the reduction of funding in relation to refugee programs enjoy to them. and the another part of the was jordan spits of somebody. that is he is precisely what the
12:25 pm
brings me here. what us again i am on my annual solely that it's the mission during the whole months of what i've done, what i visit and fast, we've muslim communities in this that us. but my body is meant to be a period of celebration, but not these here. part of the side heavy in the region and these are on the walls from the end for this event, it's an ongoing devastation. even garza, as well as rising violence is occupied westbank. i commend jordan for your support. it's for the escalation, including particularly your very important role. it needs to those of them. and that's a little chart of them for your relentless efforts to get to meditate and assistance into gaza, including the personal efforts and wisdom of his majesty. for my
12:26 pm
thoughts, i will keep pushing for the removal of all obstacles to live, save, engage for motor excess and for more than 3 points. but we must face facts that will be no sustainability. many sat in solution with the not going was as blog the as these. let me repeat, not seeing justifies the martin's october to 7 attacks and also thinking by i'm us and nothing just suffice the collective punishment of the palestinian people. the fact the delivery of humanitarian dave required is the may have you have the liberty of what you may need that in the ceasefire. the needs is urgent. i was at the subordinate crossing these weekends and i met with engine is part of cd and civilians. and the directly from all of from like me, minutes. i didn't know colleagues that are veterans of some of the words to
12:27 pm
meditate and causes injury some beckett's, they've seen the tall and the results exception. they told me they had never seen any singles audible as what is happening in the gaza today. the scale and speeds of the vests and destruction of an entirely different level. and now starvation is bedding down on palestinians in gaza. there is a growing consciousness that on the world that all of these must stopped the fighting must then know the officers must be released now. and we must not lose sight of the big picture. a loss the end to these valley policy and conflicts can only come sewage states solution. israel is, must see that legitimate needs for security, materialized and follow stimulus. must see that legitimate espied ations for the,
12:28 pm
for me, independent, viable and solid and state 3 allies in line when united nations resolutions, international law. and previous agreements. we know where the alternate steve would leads to indefinitely prolonging conflicts. that does become a major. so that's to global peace and security to as i said, it bite the bullet isolation between balding x, that means every, with those standing in the way of a 2 state solution. evan obligation to states, clearly what is the alternative they want? oh well, the future moke with such a large number of palestinians in size without any real sense of freedom of rights and of dignity. these would be and conceivable. the 2 state solution is the only
12:29 pm
way to address the legitimate, the speed ations of both isabel is and thought a senior. since i know it is easy to be seen eco in today's world. but that's so luck city. we cannot afford us seen it. susan is a farm upset in the to the prevailing assumptions of the moment. is that a fuse for those 2 weeks to narrow, 15 minutes to imagine a better future? when things are difficult, we must try even the heart of that. and that will keep pushing for peace inspired by your example. and once again, the phone administered the a friends. thank you. and since the government and people have jonathan for living, the way to solely that is the end piece. take some questions
12:30 pm
the you have to teach them out and uh some of the wizard expense to what is currently taking place in the mode of guys. this would just not do not smooth. it's my it's my hello. i have to take results to be able to listening to you. yes, i can. you know, ma'am i have a few years from i was just calling to check in with the place and, and those of guys this thread. so tell me that i don't, but he leaves a at so you might obtain use the with them is really a statement that there were a headset cut off. how you together with the international. but those should be working towards a young less sending the apply the palestinians who are teetering on the vanity of sam and.
