or the the 5, the ministration says, israel's use of american weapons may have violated international lauren johnson. but there isn't enough evidence to withhold the clock. this is out 0 line from the south africa issues. another fleet, the un topcoat, to order israel to withdrawal from rafa, saying the ministry in cash and instructions, the survival of palestinians, and garza. the results of the route is funding in favor $143.00. is ro isolated on the world stage?
5:01 am
the un general assembly overwhelmingly, adults resolution becky kind of things big for us and russian launch is a major ground assault and ukraine's ne in talk keep region civilians a told to news . so israel's closest ally and biggest supply the united states says that israel's use of american weapons likely breached international law. in garza, the long awaited report funded by the administration to congress issues a reg, criticism of israel's ministry. conduct this totally sure to finding specific instances that would justify withholding military a to israel is ready for us as of killed many, 35000 palestinians in gauzy, outside of the 7th golden 15, thousands of them all children. and they had 9 thousands of women. how does there's petty calhane has more from washington dc?
5:02 am
this is a long awaited report from the us state department. it basically came about because democrats in congress told president joe biden that he needed to look at whether israel was falling international humanitarian law as it used us weapons. and when it comes to aid getting into gaza. so the report has now been released and while it finds that is reasonable to define the defense articles have been used, but is really security forces inconsistent with its international humanitarian law obligations. it did not find that, in fact, it had done so enough it or they had enough evidence to say they were in fact violating this law. as of right now, when it comes to age, they said that israel in the beginning, right after october 7th, where it did not cooperate for months to get aid in to gaza. and it says they are doing better now they're more needs to be done. but as of right now, it doesn't also meet the level of cutting off military or financial aid. what
5:03 am
interesting part in this is, it says the intelligence community has no direct indication of israel intentionally targeting civilians. the, i see the introduction or intelligence community assess is that is real, could do more to avoid civilian harm. however, so very carefully worded language that i think is going to probably make pro, posted in supporters quite angry. this doesn't mean the president joe biden is going to go back on his threat to cut off the offensive weapons. israel, if they go to rasa it just means because of this report. he's not obligated to do that. particular, hey, al jazeera, let's say now from william laurence who's a former us diplomats and he says report creates the possibility of future restrictions on ministry. a to israel when you actually lee lee read the report it's, i would say it's quite damning. what they do is they make sort of factual findings, of course, with some of the anytime language that patty was talking about. but they make
5:04 am
factual findings that israel's violating international law. and then they don't make the legal finding. because i think politically the us government, which is already withholding 3500 heavy bonds, of which they've used a few 100 and guys. but this is a huge number of items that are worth holding. they want it to be a political decision to hold weapons, not a legal requirement to withhold weapons. and so i think that was a political decision of the white house in the state department to deliberately falls short of requiring themselves to hold arms shipments so they can use that as a carrot and stick politically. with this, riley's, it is just satisfying the way pad is talking about, but it's unprecedented. the, the us criticize israel in this way for violating international law. this been a famous series of court decision since the 1980s were. basically, the courts defer to congress the united states as are in the and executive branch
5:05 am
to make these decisions about you know, what to do about violations of international law and us for an assistance. so the remedy is in congress and in the, in the executive branch, that means on this basis, congress can refuse to send further aid to israel. and on this basis the white house can refuse to send for their arms to israel. and so the legal determination didn't have to be made. now it could be made tomorrow. so, so it's, it's, it's just another step too slow for the palestinians, but it's another step in the direction of creating the context in which you could stop all arms flows to israel, and the justification factually is there, if not legally. i mean, while south africa has filed an urgent request of the you ins topcoat to order is ready forces to withdraw. from rafa, it says that the way is ready forces a conducting its operating and rougher ending gauze. res genocidal. south africa's
5:06 am
lawyers say as well as the sultan rafa gives rise to new facts at a causing irreparable home to the rights of the palestinian people. in garza, it goes on to study the def, rough estimate, lead destroyed. they will be left of gaza or of the prospect for the survival of palestinian life in the turret tree. the finally goal, se stresses as the primary hub for humanitarian assistance in gaza. if raffles say to does garza, i know we spoke to mariam jim. she does, she's an associate professor of law at the university of colorado law school. and she says that sound africa's request as part of a way dependent school in legal strategy to apply pressure on the bite administration to hold. it's unconditional support for israel right now with the latest request that south africa has made to the court. you know, it has made very clear how urgent it believes the situation to be inside of it. as asked the court to weigh in on its provisional measures order within
5:07 am
a week's time. and it has listed a litany of that, that highlight the really, the only thing that the court can and should do, which is at the minimum, to order israel to cease its military operation in rafa. and though it has not explicitly asked for this in this, in this particular request, it has referenced it throughout the request that it is high time the court actually demands that israel sees all of its military activities inside of gaza. now will israel comply know is, will, will not comply unfortunately, but this is part of a larger legal and political strategy to increase pressure on the united states on the bite and ministration to, to, to, to finally put some breaks on what is real, is doing to the palestinians of gaza, the political pressure is undoubtedly mounting already is ready forces. it'd be an
5:08 am
expanding attack. so rough uh, when any 1500000 palestinians and sheltering those polls people to flee northwards more than 100000 people have fled since monday, and many of them have ended up and follow where they are now facing desperate conditions attire. a couple of assume our thoughts we have been touring between the streets of derek by like today. as these trees are completely crowned with people if activities who are living and made shift tends living on the streets and the open areas. and we also come across different numbers of families who are still looking for house at this point being placed this place from rough law. there is a growing pressure on the medical center in a debit block, which unlocks the hospital right now is the main only operating hospital in derek by that, which is responsible of providing medical treatment for hundreds of thousands of palestinians being right now result leading of this very densely populated area, but the question among palestinians is what next to go in light of this ongoing
5:09 am
nightmare going on the ground. they have been following these very military odors full days, 4 months right now. and they have been again, attacks on areas that are supposed to be safe for them. and within the past couple of hours in talking we've been hearing loud explosions. and then the se rocked refugee camp close to a different bus where a number of palestinians being killed and wounded under was what been wounds that have been transported to ox, the hospice of here to get medical treatment. so on a aspects including the security and the humanitarian level, the situation is the key rating without to know any kind of international support or even intervention to rescue what has left from the territory as palestinians believe that the entire international community has let them down. now with the clouds of board is under with the suspension of a to flu into the gaza strip, which gives more signs of a lot regarding the humanitarian situation inside the church, or just being 5 days since is relative loud any

5:19 am
a whole lot of a quality education. just in the last few days. schools in arizona, massachusetts, and pennsylvania, of clear protest is from the attempt. many pushed into it by donors, angry, a disruption that's been created so close to graduation ceremonies. if you look at what's happening throughout the us, i think it fear because of how because of my deal. you know, they've done as i've made the opinions phase, a key and also the agenda is very clear that they feel that they can indeed be no direct. our curriculum become direct collaboration. most for testers, one universities like dw here in washington to cut all ties with israel on to diverse. that means taking money from donors that has been invested. i'm pulling it from funds linked to israel, or the us defense industry companies like re its own mcdonald, douglas. but the university's hosp to work a very fine light because some people say their money will dry out. if there is no
5:20 am
change in policy. this is a tough spot for university leaders is, has a potential threatened understanding with big donors who are more liberal and saudis, conservative states can put them on the wrong side of st legislatures. so that is a, not a great place for university leader to be university. so being forced into action before the divested from links with pop types of topic that in the seventy's and eighty's from fossil fuels at the ton of the century, from russia. after that, you create invasion 2 years ago, i would like to see a student committee be a part of that investment committee decision making process because of this kind of question. this was the only time these kinds of controversies have arisen. they're just the more public of what's going on in the last couple of decades. i do believe students ought to be a part of this investment funds can run to tens of millions of dollars. for example, harvard has a $50000000000.00 gather from supporters and backers on previous investments,
5:21 am
the largest fund in america. some universities have committed to divestment, others have offered to discuss and consider that's been enough to help protest. but for those still refusing the piece more disruption and protest students continue to last. we peacefully push their kids. oh and fisher. i'll just do the washington. the 2 people have been killed during russian, shelly and ukraine's ne in khaki, reaching the local governance as a ton of, of china, which lies less than 5 kilometers from the russian border and was targeted at least 3000 people are being forced to leave the homes ukraine's own forces have rushed reinforcements to khaki. ukrainian president. volume is lensky. so it's fist fights . he's taking place in the area, trying to hold him in a small from it was in the early hours of friday morning. the russian forces of

5:23 am
file is odyssey there. now there was a brief hold back all the ways are scalable and then i believe that we stopped them without hillary fire. for the moment, we don't know yet if this is just a probing, a type by russian forces, or if this is a whole new front that's about to open up in this will, but either way, so you cry, it's a big problem. it's suffering from a severe lack of manpower and it's all me and also a real lot of west from rake with the lots of it's been promised with things from the united states and from it to europe in life. but most of those, a still yet to arrive in the windows, before they arrive, russian forces are expected to try and press home their advantage. they're already push pushing in slowly above the sink at all. the air is of the front line. and now this looks like a new hole that ukrainian force is going to have to try and plug john home. and i would just say to keep its willing georgia protest against
