4:09 pm
a process behind the scenes. and that's what he's hoping would bring just as far as brother that's. that's what he said to me. you also said that they are quite concerned about his brother's health. he wasn't, if i wasn't able physically able to attend the cold hearing today and, and that's something that continues to worry, the family of course and see that he has very good mass elsewhere. all eyes will be on the un security council later today where a vote on a new cease fire resolution for gaza is expected to take place. the us has already said that it plans to veto the l. jerry, a sponsored plan and has instead proposed its own. now a pause and the fighting check comes soon enough for the thousands of children now facing hunger and malnutrition inside gaza, with the un children's agency. unicef issuing a stark new warning about the lack of food, water and health services, pushing the bose and pot,
