5:01 pm
12 minutes past 1 am a must go this stuff today and wherever you joining this from. welcome to 13 minutes of news and an honest we start with some breaking news this. our un security council has passed a resolution requiring both israel and how much so lot deliveries of much needed to monitoring 8 into the gaza strip. proposed amendment for the media's these 5 was blocked by the united states and vs on bus of the, to the u. n. so that's on the us pressure, the final text to the resolution. last, some important provisions. a similar study which is due to some of the cheapest in the us has once again exposed itself in front of the world. by blocking even the council extremely, we can call for a cessation of hostilities and gaz instead. washington playing dirty, sold a text, actually a license for israel to killed palestinian civilians and gaza under the pretext of, quote, creating conditions for
5:02 pm
a cessation of hostilities under pressure from the us. which effectively took over the authorship and you served the work on the text behind the scenes at various levels, twisting the hands of regional representatives, the text lost more and more important provisions with each new revision. colleagues, this is a tragic moment for the security council, not a moment of triumph for multi lateral diplomacy, but huge on principles blackmail. it is an open defiance on the part of washington of the suffering of the palestinians and of the aspirations of the world community toward an end to it. the security council is essentially being asked to stay out of the way while the us twists its arms in the region, not for the sake of peace as my american colleague claims, but to ensure washington's narrow self interest. with the 15 member body that leads the united nations finally approved a resolution regarding the situation in gaza. now for weeks,
5:03 pm
the un security council has been delayed. but finally there was a resolution that the united states did not detail 13 countries voted in favor of it. the united states and russia both abstain, and afterwards the us representatives spoke highly as if this was a great step forward for the protection of humanitarian concerns in the ongoing fight and gaza. here's what the us representative had to say. since the start of this conflict, the united states has done work tirelessly to alleviate this humanitarian crisis. to get live saving assistance and to gaza and to get hostages out of gaza to push for the protection of innocent civilians and humanitarian workers. and to work towards a lasting peace. but today this council provided a glimmer of hope amongst a sea of unimaginable suffering. today this council called for urgent steps
5:04 pm
to immediately allows safe and hindered and expanded humana tarion access. and to create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. i'll note that this is the 1st time this council has used this language language, we believe is critical to scaling up aid and underscoring the tough steps ahead. as we work together to achieve a lasting peace. but the reality is that the situation on the ground in gaza is dire. 20000 civilians have already died and the body count is rising. death toll continues to increase. however, the resolution that was passed and did not call for a ceasefire and did not restrict israel's activities. site was simply allowing some humanitarian aid to go through. china spoke before the council and expressed some
5:05 pm
disappointment with the resolution. they ultimately voted in favor of we welcome the adoption of this draft resolution. they were quite a number of adjustments to the text in some important aspects. those adjustments and not consistent with the efforts we have made. they do not meet our expectations, given the urgency of the situation on the ground, the humanitarian catastrophe and goals are that is getting more diet by the day, the counsels carnes action office, at least the glimmer of hope for increased in the expedited deliveries of humanitarian aid to garza now, the palestinian representative who spoke before the council describes the dire situation. the lack of access to medical care, the lack of access to electricity. the fact that journalists and humanitarian workers have been killed and have been in harm's way, the palestinian representative described how the whole world is outraged by what israel was doing, and the blatant atrocities being committed, biased brailey forces. this concept 1st met to address this great prices when
5:06 pm
hundreds of palestinians had been killed by his the occupying power. and it's cj and the aggression on the guys trip. the concert is now meeting of the over 20000 palestinians have been killed. almost half of them children. no one should forget that what we are talking about 2300000 palestinians who have been fighting for their life and facing death every single day for 75 days. this requires an immediate fuel money to audiences via now back by 153 states on the world. there is no way to stop the war, crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide under way,
5:07 pm
but an immediate cease by it. now israel spoke before the council and described its activities as necessary in order to stop terrorism and described how the condemnation coming from international bodies and from various different voices around the world. the simply the singling out of israel, the targeting and demonization of israel is this council 6 to and will still it is, it should start by supporting israel's mission of returning hostages and eliminating the some us threats at the very least it must prevent from us is empowerment just as his counselor is committed to increasing aid. it should also be committed to blocking the smuggling of onto the transfer weapons to the how much terrorist and just as this council is committed to ensuring a reaches gauze and civilians, it should also be committed to ensuring the cit. aid is not the ability to come up stairs. we do not care about the civilian population. the focus of any resolution should also hold from us accountable, while taking every step to prevent them from intrinsic themselves and regaining power. united states continues to protect israel,
5:08 pm
and this resolution was very much the result of many efforts by the united states to make sure that no resolution was passed by the council. that condemned is rarely activities or demanded a halt or a ceasefire. now the united states does not only want to be the protector of israel in the international arena, but it wants to be a backer of israel. we have a situation where the vide, administer asian is calling for $14000000000.00 additional funds for $14000000000.00 additional dollars to be sent to israel in order to enable them to continue their operations in gaza, which are being condemned widely by the world. so united states seems to be pretty solidly behind israel, despite the international outrage about as rarely activities. there's talk and further escalating us support for israel, a mid international condemnation. to discuss these developments, i am joined live now by done colleague human and labor rights lawyer. it's done. thank you very much for joining us this evening on say,
5:09 pm
i'm going to hear you and secure it's counselor is finding money to pass this resolution on gaza. is it a positive step or does the upstairs should by the us suggest if he wants it down so much? i to yes it has been watered down. then i think in some ways it's not a positive step. first of all, when the because the security council has now acted on gaza this would prevent the general assembly from. busy busy using the uniting for peace mechanism to override the security council. and um, you know, do something more formative to prevent the slaughter in gaza and the security council resolution as it's written. and it was written by the us and the you a with, with the intention and that it has no t. it's a nothing. but it does say that, you know,
5:10 pm
humanitarian aid should be freely flowing into god's up. it doesn't say how that's going to happen. in fact, it says the u m is not to be overseen that. so what's the mechanism for unfortunately, that there is not and that's the so it's just empty words. and now the general assemblies prevented from doing something more. so i think in the end this resolution may be worse than not at all. so what would the us motivations for doing the text concerning a ceasefire? the u. s. shares israel's goals in gaza in that is destroying of the population of gaza and moving it into the side. i desert. there's a number of reasons the us shares this goal. one of which is uh,
5:11 pm
the massive amounts of natural gas found on the coast of gaza, which the us initial cabinets. they also want to build this thing gearing canal. they want it for a long time as an alternative to the suez canal, which we go right through guys. uh um. so they share the goals of issue in demolishing the the, the population of gossip. so they don't want to cease fire. they want this war to continue and they're helping it continue by sending 2000 pound bonds to israel a bite. and he's been working behind the scenes. so to remove all limitations on israel's ability to tap into a reserve, munitions and weapons. so they're on the same page here and that page is, is, frankly, in obama nation, not done us security council resolutions. they are legally binding up. what
5:12 pm
insurance is that? that's isabel. we'll comply with, you know, your thoughts on this before and obviously there are logistical questions as well as delivering aid when the territory is under such incense, bombardments and institutions being destroyed. yeah there's no, there's no ability under this resolution to ensure that israel will comply. and by the way, what does it even mean when israel is still denying the population? water and electricity on um, these are like saving necessities, right? you can't bring in enough water in bottles to, to, to provide for 2300000 b, you need the taps to be turned back on. and this does not require that they don't want require that initial won't do that right now. the entire population of gaza is starving. all we, all the world food agencies or savings and this will not change that because israel
5:13 pm
wants to star these people and this won't change that. i think country should do go . yeah, no, please continue. sorry done. i thought you finish what i would suggest, you know, to countries to care about the situation and they should care cuz it's a terrible situation. you know, when the libya resolutions were passed from 2011 to nearly call it for no fly zones and protection the civilians. of course, the us, the nato way beyond that and engaged in with the check which i did not support. i don't support now, but what i would say is i would support countries who care about this situation, trying to stretch this resolution into doing something affirmative for guys. and i would say they can get, you know, a set up a no fly zone and prevent these re lease from flying over guys and bombing the gaza
5:14 pm
strip. i mean, at this point, it's up to individual countries to do what has to be done to, to prevent this, travis, that's my view. well done. i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it the but thank you very much. feel take on that you in resolution this just been passed. thank you . thank you, peter. happy holidays. the mustang with the conflicts posted. it also is to say that the debt sold in gaza has now some of us 20000 people and there's no longer a single functioning hospital in the north of the ink life. let's, according to the world health organization and these distressing images. so the conditions that some people are forced to live on to the

5:17 pm
a sense of what we're up to back in october. a most of a trust on the bill of buildings hit by strikes and tens of thousands of others bleeds via risk due to a lot of essential medical. would you need a base to n g o, also accused israel of using hung up as a weapon of war and the reports of by the n g o is said, that's 800000 palestinians in northern garza. have no access to health care. $23.00 out of $35.00 hospitals in the enclave. being forced to shut down 9 facilities. they're only possibly functioning well for others. operating with very limited services. already was the last function hospital in northern garza and on tuesday, both of us on the due date. so, but they said the facility and completely pronounced have supplies. 10 stuff of them, but we're still trying to provide the 1st aid, the but at least eights injured people, including the elderly and young children, took refuge at the hospital. but you and medical official spoke about the diet situation in the hospital in the church,

5:19 pm
have been uh uh, simply urgent. originally searching through the rubble. excuse me, to find any loved ones. you might still be trumped in the rubble is really strikes have recently intensified over the southern parts of the enclave. targeting the densely populated cities of tanya nice and rough spot. the idea of having previously ordered does have residents to evacuate from the north to the south. local gen, list homes of children who frequently reports full oxy wasn't a call that was fits by an idea of striking. so the guys of this week we didn't have internet connection for a number of days and he's only just money now to send us this voltage of the incidents. it's a good and the city of ruffled the yeah, my friend who wants to come inside this car and suddenly have mazda of southern walker. roughly the middle one just had the car and my friend got injured.

can you imagine this franklin hit someone's virus? what do you expect? meanwhile, the washington post has challenged allegations by the idea of the thomas had an underground command center at the hospital in northern garza, is allowed to use the idea of claims to justify a tax on the medical facility. the evidence presented by the is really government falls short of showing that come off had been using the hospital as a command and control center according to a washington post analysis of open source visuals, satellite imagery, and all of the publicly released ideas, materials that raises critical questions, legal in humanitarian experts say about whether the civilian harm caused by israel's military operations against the hospital and circling besieging and ultimately reading the facility and the tunnel beneath that, we're pushing it to the assessed threat. washington post conclusion was based on
5:21 pm
open source data, satellites, images, and publicly disclosed audio files. there was apparently no homeless presence in hospital rooms linked to the tunnels. i know one of the 5 hospital buildings identified by the idea of spokesperson were found to have a direct connection to the tunnels. and the under go network was also reports of late enough accessible through the l. c for hospital wards. despite the idea of claims. this is james, may just, i'll see falls so last month on storm emergency areas, intensive care units and cardiology was, was severely damaged. well thought you said thousands upon us the news shouting inside where it cuts off from food and water and hundreds of wounded type are necessarily due to a lack of access to increase of health care. you and workers describe the situation is i'll see for as a football oh yeah, we spoke with, i mean about yeah, i media expert specializing in the parking state news. it says that israel is losing, so media will indeed this is a crucial issue we're discussing today. uh no, it's banned. uh,
