days since the beginning of the law, offices of surrounding con eunice in southern casa, you know, we are operating with professionalism clearing the population ahead of time, from the combat to areas is the lack of what the gods have been told to move for the south to rough. uh, what awaits them. there is more 10 cities and the loan q to get drinking water. and i'm not going to get the thing about the only decently nation planned and rough. uh that is providing inhabitants with clean water. it's powered by solar energy and when in winter, so if that stops and we will not be able to provide people with any will to and i think that and what and then that's a look at my united nations sees more than 80 percent of golf. those population have been driven from the homes and space on the small coastal strip is running out . many simply don't know where they can find refuge,
9:04 pm
find the pulley now journalist and sammy circle. he's standing by forcing jerusalem . say me is really forced to say that they have been engaged in the heaviest fighting that they have seen since the start of this conflict. what do we know exactly about the details of this fighting today to when it took me about the 2 areas of both the styles with the guns, a strip, but also the, the area of the guns, a city, a israel has moved blow break in the south but it still does not full control and over garza is city and its. busy area it would have been a heavy fighting in jamalia, which is a refugee camp in the north of the gaza strip on the outskirts of the city of garza . and there's been heavy fighting. he says, yeah, yeah, which is just east of the city of gaza. then of course if i knew this, we have forces that are now inside. ready the city of the eunice and the on top of
9:05 pm
the ground truth. we have see again, more air strikes. again, is striking a both with me cool military targets, but also residential areas where a i d, f says that might be a how myself are a tips. so what do we know did about the strategy that the idea has planned for the near future? and i want to ask you about a report that says that the military may be planning to flood the extensive tunnel network. that how much has constructed underneath gauze to when a prime minister benjamin netanyahu was asked to get precisely this question. and then you press conferences today. and he said that he's not going to give the details on the authoritative steps. and he was also addressed by the same issue was meeting today with the families of hostages, but also hostages,
9:06 pm
who were released from gaza. and they had a meeting together with the prime minister and the war cabinet. and there they said that they're hearing that they're going to flood these condos, and that they're run updates, and their family members are inside these tunnels. and they were very concerned not only about plans to flood the damage, but also the bombing in goals. uh they, some of them were saying that is really should stop the bombing. some were saying that we were bombed when we were in gaza and we were feeling more of these really bumming then of him us. in these words, it was a very tense me thing. i can tell you that. yeah, and speaking of the hostages from us, have said that there will be no negotiations or exchange of detainees until israel's military operation in gaza, stops. as there been a reaction from is really authorities to that. it sounds like basically what you're
9:07 pm
saying is you're getting pressure not only from hamas, but also from the families of hostages. all of this on these really military and government. and there was a very dense mistake. members of the, the families and those were hostage that were saying that in the day that passes, it puts their families in the danger as they were saying that there is a shortage of the food that the man not being treated. the dogs. ready there that there is a few that there's not good intelligence and they were also say. busy that the they also have doubts about the collapse of the ceasefire. nathaniel said that they both have muscles full, but there was one the cup that will say no, it's not true. so there was a heated debate at the end. many were saying that they don't believe that from y'all was actually committed to the release of the hostages. others have
9:08 pm
a different position. but i can tell you that the yellows message was the 1st or this was not as a result of these. it talks about browser a result of the minute to refresher, and therefore israel now has to continue it's military pressure on how much and did, how much one of the surrender and the hand over the prisoners or the captives that are held by how much indigo is a strict only time will tell me circle reporting tonight from jerusalem semi as always. thank you. i asked christian lynn buyer of the world health organization. what the in circle made of the city of on you this what it means for civilians they or no thanks for having the why. this is just another step in the nightmare. as the reports already said, people have been sometimes 2 or 3 times already relocating some of the very norfolk gaza. so the 2 guys us at the, from gaza city took on eunice always being promised
9:09 pm
a safe place of safe route. i have been bombed on the shelves on the road, then funniness. what's the safe space for a while? now? hunting is the surround, that's moving. or it is asking people to move for the south. and where to then by the us just means that the last big place with the cost bottles the with, with $3.00 partially or in total, the whole south with 12 partially functioning hospitals and the only big remaining hospitals. 2 of them on the side and the european hospital. um are now having the same uh, states coming up as we had for the same is all she find other hospitals in the north meeting the put out of service. um either by being sheldon bummed about not having access to any material anymore, that means the people who are already distressed and wounded and displaced and fear have no single spot to go to any and want to find any support any relief quite anyhow. one of your colleagues in rafa, it says that the situation in the gaza strip is approaching humanities. and i'm
9:10 pm
quoting here, darkest hour. i'm what more can you tell us about that? i mean, can you, can you say that street a look, we have 2400000 people in gaza. about 2 thirds of them are descendants from the, from the refugees that were pushed out of these rail already. what now? 70 years ago. um, so they have being displaced to displace them display as them that being told find the safe spot. they even told where they can find the safe spot. and then that being bump the child is in schools and hospitals. that's already made more than you can imagine. and something you have to that scale teen anywhere around. now that being pushed to another se so called safe area with, with diseases looming because of the cramped situation with no hygiene anymore. it's completely pressed together. people of wounded people was regularly diseases. i'm not having any supports anymore and not, no, no possibility to go anymore anyway anymore. because the southern border is the
9:11 pm
egyptian board, where they con, apart from a few evict creations, can't really trust the other part of this. the, the c side and the part is, is these really no place to go to. so how, how dense with you, when the pressed them together, you want to press them on the sides of the football field. somebody we compared the size the should locate. so now to the size, double the size of it. so the size of a key, for example, i love you, throw out, but just imagine 2400000 people and the size of a he's way up with yes, that is a humanitarian catastrophe. so to scale, which i think all of us is working, humanitarian area have a fairly c. and here we say they are being told that to go to these safe zones. after that the, there is nowhere else to go. mean the pressure will be on then. what for egypt to open its gates, right? what is exactly the point? i mean with a very so now having did the 2nd a new grocery of the month of the rest of the, the 2nd month, the grocery office of the south of the 1st step across the pool of texas. that's
9:12 pm
absolutely crazy. horrific. and the text by, by how much it's on. so israel with all ready for the 1st the new version on 7 november we won that the a tex of, of israel in the does that lead no safe space to send a tech not only against from us. it's a get an attack against a population, but there is no space and save space in case of them and the last 4 weeks up. just prove exactly that. that is not the single safe space. when the people have been homes and places in the areas that wouldn't literally designated a safe spot, holly accepting have been killed on the ground. the police have been killed in schools. everywhere. ambulance is attacked, so yes, there is no place to go unless they would all push them into the seats or across either an or across to egypt. none of that's really seems to be an option. although i'm not the military strategy. yeah. because yeah, and then my are with the world health organization. we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. or the pentagon has quietly ramped up with
9:13 pm
ins, shipments headed for is really and i use the word quietly because there are apparently some transparency concerns here with the bite whitehouse under pressure to disclose to congress the extent of those weapons deliveries at offense and not hillary rocket system tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, how they helped us unmanned a real systems that it's just some of the us as military assistance provided to ukraine. a detailed list of weapons is released with every new military aid package for keith. why is washington not doing the same with weapons for israel? we are providing assistance to israel through very different mechanisms and how we provide assistance to ukraine and of funding mechanisms and how we're supplying aid . it's, it's 2 different countries to different wars and, and again, you know, 2 different areas of responsibilities. the bottom of ministration faces pressure to disclose the extent of you as long as it is with it leads to congress and the
9:14 pm
national security funding requested to congress. the white house included an exemption for h 2 as well. so i think the countries and meet the requesting cool c o for the 2 wave congressional notification of requirements, something washington never requested for ukraine. this means that is rarely government would be able to purchase billions and military articles and services incomplete. see chris, his relatives it was launch is camille active recipient of us age and support for israel security has been a cornerstone of american foreign policy with israel's intense funding of the gaza strip scrutiny on the roll. the us is playing is also increasing, is absolutely critical that congress is able to, to review, to have transparency on all of the weapons that are going so that it can determine as it appropriate funds to tax care funds. frankly, to continue to buy these weapons that they're used for, you know, the,
9:15 pm
the urgent defense needs. but that are not used in ways that contribution us laws, policies, uh, or international law on waging or is like use ation. scro. this, a us government is not complying. with the conventional armstrong policy, some democrats are talking of conditioning, future us military aid to israel. if that happens, the pressure on president biden, to take a more critical look at the america's military support for israel will only increase play now and is director for the united states at the razor group. he told me what's behind the parent double standard and reported us military aid for ukraine versus israel. the 1st thanks, brad. i think that the difference here has less to do with israel and more to do with you. great. actually, ukraine aid is extraordinary. it was all supplemental funding, rest standalone bills that go beyond normal baseline funding. and it's been
9:16 pm
relatively politically sensitive. categories, the members of congress and republican voters have been somewhat skeptical of the need for ongoing, very high levels of usa. and as the warranty crane has continued on, that's led to very high levels of transparency in what exactly is being set that's more to modify. domestic political concerns, the practice of not disclosing specific military a or a massive arm being sent to israel is actually continuation of relatively long standing us house. so it highlight the political sensitivity around it proving or even sustaining you crated as the primary difference for the primary reason for that difference in transparency. essentially, the lack of transparency with a going to is really interesting. you're saying it's correct. it is nothing new. do we have any idea what type of weapons are being delivered to israel? we only have limited information. i would, i would echo some of the concerns that you personally noticed that you highlighted earlier that, you know, there's a wide range of weapon systems that have been sold to is really been sent israel.
9:17 pm
and in years past, every fast precision guided munitions, small them, and bombs, we know that those have been said. those have been highlighted by the tech. i think the open question is what other things are being a set? one area of particular concern this thing highlighted by members of congress and by the administration itself is small arms. there were some reports that the u. s. might constrain or limit shipments of small arms that were being just uh, sent out to is really security forces unless there was additional oversight of clarity offered in exactly who was ending up with those weapons. so there's a wide range of things being said, but we don't have any specific sounds like that to be back. is this what is real? remains the largest recipient of us military aid, the bite and ministration recently requested that certain congressional oversight rules regarding weapons sales to israel. that those rules be waived. do we know why it's really a matter of expediency?
9:18 pm
that's the white house is already here. rational notification and review requirements, add some amount of time, it might be weeks, it could, in some cases, be months. and in certain instances has been years of review, a potential delay and weapons being set by the ministration included a request to waive those provisions for israel. specifically, i think to avoid the risk that the future a package. you know, once you've approving overall not a funding breaking out in packages later on to avoid the risk that any one of those future a packages might be delayed. that's the best argument that you know, we can kinda come up with the best we usually we can come up with for why that was included. and there is a pushback. i'm coming from both republicans and democrats in congress. they want to pin aid in both of these conflicts to funding in domestic issues. i'm talking about border security, the border between the us and mexico. it could this trigger a policy shift in your opinion, um, for the government it absolutely could negotiations around trading or mary
9:19 pm
border security provisions in ukraine funding. and that's really the trade off that's being made here. so they're on the they're, they're kind of low right now. in the senate there's every possibility. do i don't think it's like least yet that you could see ukraine a curtailed or potentially delayed forcing some role in a deliveries to ukraine. again that's, that's not my base case for, i think happens right now, but certainly that's all the to israel is a different, slightly different scenario. republicans in the house are looking to cut spending elsewhere and government to offset the cost of addition was really i don't imagine that that's actually going to be something that enters into into us law. would imagine that israel a, it has a slightly clear path or easier path to visual approval in congress. putting the along with the research group in washington. as always, we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. thank you. so here are some other developments connected to the board between israel and tomas israel has held
