a greater than the 1st one in terms of the number of casualties i'm just told that is completely unprecedented for decades now. as they have been sharing the same similarity were presented in the internal displacement of citizens and civilians from their official home towns to all the areas that they are no longer able to return to to this very moment as palestinians have been completely saying that this neck but is more deadly and overwhelming in terms of the unprecedented deterioration of the humanitarian conditions, as people saying that this period is to set it to be the hardest of it due to the new and didn't site until now for the ongoing fight thing. and the attacks being made by the is very military, but in fact, what we do know is that there are 2 citizens. witnessing this genocide, the military campaign had witnessed the 1st neck. but that's happened in 1948 and developed. yeah, refuge account. but even he,
12:04 pm
as in derek black people who are have, who have witnessed this neck but are now on the east very bump, bump intend for you in the north of district. they have been completely split fos, the with the city shortage of food, which on or essential 8 supplies that did not get into the north of this trip for more than $66.00 days. right now, what people have been completely describing the situation to be on suitable for a living as they are trying to barely coop with the ongoing situation on the ground in light of the on present is taken of destruction, of attacks being carried out by the as many military, but generally palestinians, as we have been speaking to, they have been saying that it's a well on palestinian existence as this taught it to gradually lose hope to return back to the houses and towns. there were 4 split displaced from the north of the strip, taught it, and speaking, i mean of the north of the surf in particular that's where is really forces have said that they're pushing deeper into that area. and also of course let's not
12:05 pm
forget about that. i thought about what they are facing resistance from the palestinian fighters. bring us up to speed with what's happening on the ground on the latest air strikes of the with the easy really announcements of launching a new many true peroration into a value refugee can. they have said that they are facing high level of resistance and bucks those that sound to be critically. honda, in terms of the use of power part, the palestinian of finances was trying to push the maneuvering troops on the ground . but as we have been seeing, the video is released by the men 3 ring of how much really to fix. how critical is the situation of how violence all the confrontations in the streets of that densely populated area. there still thousands of palestinians at trump's in the valley are refused to evacuate because they have no any safe cordial to leave. that's kind of the same time is very minute treat, has been using intense supply, power,
12:06 pm
destroying, and leveling to the ground residential buildings and key civil infrastructure as by tools are now taking place in the hearts of the com. but we, so how bit onto tank me cycles on explosive devices where use them side with more to shows being flying by palestinian fighters to force these very maneuvering troops to withdrew from old roost that they have been depending on invading the count as part of the ongoing back to that is going on to this very moment to the north of district, but particularly the situations is in the south of this trip in a rough or where the is really military has been expanding the fighting gradually to reach to listening and the sell out of neighborhoods as casualties among palestinians continue to r, rawlings to a way to and okay, we've lost our connection with thought of as well. he's our correspondence reporting from gaza at the center of the browser from date and by now. but we'll move on and we'll tell you about the next about because before the british mandate
12:07 pm
in palestine began within a century go, jews made up 8 percent of the population by 1947 that had increased to 33 percent through jews, emigrating mostly from europe on may the 14th 1948, the british mounted ended and the state of israel was created. arm, zionist forces captured 78 percent of historic palestine, and they expelled $750000.00 palestinians from their homes. then after the 1967 or eric is really war, israel occupied a more of a historic palestine, an annex east jerusalem. and then came the oslo accords of the mid 19 nineties and the occupied westbank was divided into 3 areas, granting palestinians, limited power to govern an only area a and partially in area. b, 's, a bus and obviously running us from drama lot in the occupied westbank were many people where you are as a and say that the neck. but in fact, never ended because of the ongoing displacement and they occupied westbank tell us
12:08 pm
how people are marking this today. that is correct. we've seen what's happening and god. so that's played out on our phones right in our pockets. that's been very clear. and what is also been ongoing is the continuation of the military occupation, even in the west bank expenses, the settlements and all of this against international law. but israel has continued largely with complete impunity. joining me now is i'm on the way he's a lawyer and director of the international human rights committee. thank you so much for joining us, sir. with regards to is really impunity in terms of continuous violations of international law, continuously protected as well as well. what are the challenges going forward, legally, for palestinians that are currently experiencing the occupation? so this is what this is. the corner of the homeless is out designed. jackson
12:09 pm
progression law was not going to be an issue. that's why it's going on with the general, the fire insurance, without other courses one visit. let's leave this and do is continue to do full. i'm not sure ward for this kind of card either via the some kinds of accountability is or there as early as a say add to the lead the ideas one product. so in your position is the human rights lawyer. when you engage with the international community, members of the international community, one of those conversations sound like are, is there any headway happening in terms of pressure in israel to, to pull back or honor its dimensions in any way? the person is knocking off and we see that it's not that i've been on the ground. however, we can see significant changes happening. you know. so what we're out from hope was not very high that the icpc doesn't necessary. and of course, when make your list,
12:10 pm
my better source documents for us. what are some of the reasons, although we don't expect immediate results off of this work, but this finds that the fed up with as a war crimes. and there are some actions now are being prepared to give, taking up. so that's right, is that you cannot continue the way you are doing now. ready this pressure is not going off on life is some of the work order these who might have lost their lives. but since we need to continue this process, it's not good for kind of standards on the it's for the war to have occurred. the been accounts are beneficial to assume that this independence, that's sufficient, it's good for the victims around the war. but for the we split for the power points that that would make a separate. it was now the way as we're acting, it's making not only the words then just for 5 city or ever was because people see
12:11 pm
the mission of word for the collapsing before the eyes. thank you very much. i'm or do i. thank you so much for joining us. so there you have it. it's really is a common where your current seam and the conversations you have with palestinians here, the and community that is real as operating with isn't just a problem for power as soon as it shouldn't be seen as a global human rights issue. and that's what people are trying to put out of the messages from palestinians that are marking the not for here today. okay. same. thank you so much for that reporting from, but i'm a lot in the occupied westbank. well, according to the palace thing and bureau of statistics, zionist forces, and the 1940s committed more than 70 massacres, and they killed more than 15000 palestinians at the time. we cannot speak to lorenzo comment, who was an associate professor of international history at the university of to the, in his work focuses on the middle east and on palestine. joining us from rome. welcome back, sir. you say that today we can draw an analogy between what happens in 1948 and
12:12 pm
what's been going on and gaza since the start of this war. tell us why. and there are some points of connection, hired relation, of course to the region to the ground. the 1st seat is the villages. so most back in 1948. we know that 15 most were attorney, but seen a groups for the most where i just tried to close the at the same time that you're doing and reach them distorted hold by and other senior goes into into his quote don't generally. so i'm a more done on buildings have a focus on people vary for cheap population, regardless trip jump from 100-0021, but then $30000.00. so more than doubled as a result of depression you off depression which started was started by. is there any forces that meet the 1948 that then me kind of got along to was the father of the current is really, really start off the fence. you off got a product and dental duration and decided to name is some your offer precisely to celebrate that operations operations that more than any other operation change for
12:13 pm
good, the demographic balance in the gods up straight. but i want to remind you also that the between the yorba operation of the place sold sort of dealt with me, i must occur. or one of the most of the torture as best i can do it on active 48. and to daisy nowadays, your guidelines more in general, these really out toward the are fine. so to say to close to circle little feast 3, this time are trying to bring down the population and god so. so in the sense that he's present never the same bus, suddenly there are some points of connection. and in terms of the international support, is there something to be said about international support back in 1948 compared to what's happening right now in gaza. and to what extent is the west enabling the displacement on the ethnic cleansing of, of gaza and as well. busy as what's happening in the occupied westbank today, let's say that certainly there is something called the wrong window and, and particularly the usaa and the, and germany are the major provider a weapons to,
12:14 pm
uh, to a 0. at the same time. we know right. and we don't have to get send us about governmental policy in relation to it's wrong because we know that the is one of the presidents . and so it was clearly pointing out that there's an entire nation that is response to adults or that i'm not civilians on the ground. so in this sense, we know that providing weapons the stage and the situation. certainly we know that direction even more so considering that the builder. uh 24. that's what the 20 for a document leak from the is really intelligent means that outline not planned for the expulsion of about a single sort of thing. i saw all this. it was not something to guess about. we have no official plan. the 3rd there. so certainly there is an important role in this morning. a waiver today is different than from the 194 gate. and as much as bower and abundance of power are changing. there are now new powers like trim china and other thought of course is relies still an ongoing process must certainly be
12:15 pm
solved. the play years are changing and many ways this bob power, bottom sense, certainly the direction that was being the coming months that we'd see less would be affected by all these things don't really affect about this. okay, thank you, lorenzo cano, thanks for joining us from rome. so the us set to send israel a new shipment of weapons worth more than a $1000000000.00 if it's approved by congress. and this comes after president joe biden paused a shipment of arms earlier this month. he warren's prime minister benjamin netanyahu not to launch a ground invasion and real fast without safeguards for civilians. she advertise the reports in washington dc. this has been presented as a new long term deal to supply israel with weaponry, with the $700000000.00 in tank ammunition, $500000000.00 and technical vehicles and $16000000.00 in moultrie. i was not being available for delivery for several months or even several years. it is
12:16 pm
a clear sign, the 25 jo biden's campaign donors, as well as those members of his own policy and the republican party that it is business. as usual, as you've had several members of the white house continue to emphasize in the us media. that is wrong is guessing everything it needs except for that one. shipment of 2000 pound volumes over the white house as a power concerns over the rough uh incursion. so father, the white house does not believe that the red lines have been cross despite the forcible displacements of 450000 people, sir, and attempted to rear sho, biden's campaign donors and the democratic party in a week. in fact, when there was supposed to be more discussion in congress about potentially coming off the pentagon, the state department and the national security council, well by do and the bite in ministration to continue to withhold those 2000 pound
12:17 pm

12:24 pm
people who lived on the island, mainly from maine, 9 from so know how much vigilance population will have a great support. great to say. and that's the main concern, it's worth nursing. of course, everybody's a french that's bad even though whether that kind of, whether they've come from the french mainland. that's a real concern to the judges. people to say, look, we feel for so long. we have been 2nd call citizens in the eyes of the mainland, french government. they say for example, there are places, new caledonia, where people don't have access to things like water and electricity. that is not the case. they say for people in may, 9 phones, which prove they say that they are not being treated the same. so what does this change of the constitution? fuel defense within that indigenous population? and that permanent dependence movement that has been bad for so many decades. and every now and again, something comes along which really triggers this kind of on rest. the okay, thank you. and joshua butler reporting from paris as well as thing and friends and
