they've been in washington dc for the last 8 last 8 hours, sending the message. they have one clear to man a ceasefire. now, so think about the timing of this. they come to the state department just moments after the us make sure that the un cannot demand to cease fire. so they're talking right now as we speak. and if they're saying to the secretary of state, what we, what they've said to press into some of the policy makers throughout the day is that they need a ceasefire. now, saudi arabia said the foreign minister from saudi arabia when i ask, is the bite administration doing enough? are you doing enough? he said nobody's doing enough, obviously because the fighting is still happening. and there's a, we can't wait 2 weeks for the fighting to wrap up. it needs to end now. and he did go on to say that they are promising to hold the international community to account didn't detail exactly what that might actually look like. but the jordanian ford minister spoke to journalists earlier today and again at the same tag. and he said, what's happening now is basically

it'sjust unimaginable, sitting here in washington, dc and thinking about what fellow human beings aree. mara kronenfeld. she is the head of the un's palestinian aid agency in the united states. thank you so much forjoining us. thank you. about 500,000 palestinian refugees are currently registered in lebanon. they were mostly displaced there in 19118 and 1967. for many of them, the current war in gaza is both a traumatic flashback and a worrying development for the future. lina sinjab reports from the shatila refugee camp. a slum in the south of beirut. shatila camp is home to thousands of palestinian refugees. translation: 0ur| house was on a hill. it was very beautiful. dawood nasser is originally from nazareth. he arrived in lebanon with his family in 19118 when he was six. we walked from palestine to bintjbeil. like him, many arrived in 19118. up until may that year, britain had governed palestine under a un mandate on a promise to establish a national home there forjewish people. in the war that followed israel's declaration of statehood in may 19118, about 700,000 palestinians we

how to jo, castro is with us now life in washington dc. how do you tell us some more about these briefings to terry? yeah, we also heard from the white house national security advisor jake sullivan. earlier in the day, who said that the us fully expects is real to follow through on its promises to not hit the so called no strikes owns that it. the israel says has been publicized to guys and civilians. of course, there is no certainty whether people on the ground are receiving this information or whether they're able to get to these areas. and so then the national security visor did not say how the us would respond if it is determined, as some evidence already shows that israel is not following through on its promise . the white house saying that too many palestinian innocent civilians were killed in northern gaza and that it does not. but the us does not want israel repeating that type of offensive in the south. as we just heard from honda, the apparent message not going through to these rarely, military cabinet. not miller, this, this, th

dc. welcome back. so if we look at the comments coming out of the washington, d. c, by an administration saying that, look, israel needs to do more to protect civilians. israel simply isn't doing not in guns . okay. so, i mean that's, i mean, how, what do you respond to these comments coming out of it seems it's more lip service . it's um, they're trying to limit some sort of communication problem that they're not communicating where to go. the reality is there's no safe place in causa, and everyone is getting a targeted civilians infrastructure. people are calling this not only how much it's a type of homicide, which is basically destroying infrastructure to make gaza in a way not to be able, you know, to live there just in life, in the future. something like 60 percent of gauze that has been destroyed and they're not stopping. so it's falling on deaf ears is in tel aviv. and israel, they're not listening. if in fact that's what they're telling them behind the scenes. but as long as mili

speaking to us from washington dc. thank you for joining us on to 0. been, it was great to get your thoughts on president by them has also wanted at the israel risk losing international support for its war on garza. he was speaking about point of camera at a campaign fundraiser 5 and said that israel has most of the world support thing is, but they're starting to lose that support find the indiscriminate bombing that takes place. and then speaking to the media, they strong, choose a bite and also said that the safety of innocent palestinians are still of great concern. so we've, we've responsibility, protect citizens and ensure they have access to mount turn assistance. that's why i've worked so hard with our friends as well as she is real. nice thing is you monitoring assistance in israel, literally getting up to a 140 trucks loaded with gear, loaded with food was out of everything that is needed by the palace to these including to. so, you know, israel has stage is an attempt to fulfill these responsibilities. it's very difficult a project calhane re

volodymyr zelensky is in washington dc to try and save a $61 billion us defence package for kyiv. a quick approval of the aid package have gained little traction with republicans in congress. president biden says congress would be giving a christmas gift to russia if it fails to pass the measure. history willjudge harshly those who have turned their backs on freedom's cause. today, ukraine's freedom is on the line, but if we don't stop putin, it will endanger the freedom of everyone almost anywhere. putin will keep going and would—be aggressors everywhere will be emboldened to try and take what they can by force. colonel brendan kearney is a military expert and former us marines chief of staff in europe. he says he doesn't believe the standoff is a gift to russia. i don't think putin really cares who will use it internally in russia, to try to highlight the divisiveness between ukraine and the united states, and implicitly western europe. but he's got bigger fish to fry in terms of trying to keep the military operation ongoing in ukraine. now $60 billion is a lot of money. in your

it's well, our foreign ministers have been meeting in washington dc. they say that message is clear, they want an immediate cease for right now, pedagogy and has more from the us catholic foreign ministers of turkey, palestine cutter, saudi arabia, jordan and egypt. but here at the 4 seasons behind me to speak with the media. unfortunately, cameras weren't allowed in, but it was able to ask the question if they believe the, by the ministration is doing enough to put pressure on israel and whether they were doing enough to put pressure on israel and the saudi foreign minister speaking for the group said obviously not because the war is continuing, they had a very clear message. they want a ceasefire. now, not tomorrow. now, they were more aided immediately. and when they talked about what secretary state asked me blinking calls the day after, they made it very clear. this was the day after is a 2 state solution and they went as far as to say that they think that can happen. he said, we know the parameters, we know what it looks like and it could be done
