>> welcome to the news hour at aljazeera's headquarters in doha. no truce will stop us, israel threaten to say destroy cross border tunnels with or without a ceasefire. we'll speak live to the israeli prime minister's spokesman. >> running out of food, water and medical supplies. how much more fighting can the people of gaza take? >> sierra leone declares a state of emergency and sends in the army to enforce an ebola quarantine. >> investigators reach the site

of the malaysia airlines crash as the army declares a 24 hour ceasefire. >> look, no hands, how driverless cars could be about to motor away in the u.k. >> let's start with developments in the conflict in gaza. the israeli government threatened to destroy all tunnels regardless of ceasefire. israel called up more reservists and requested more military supplies from the united states. israel's prime minister held a cabinet meet to go make it clear the offensive will continue, and it is continuing. these are the latest pictures of wounded children being brought into hospital. this is the 24th day of the offensive. diplomatic efforts to ends it apparently have stalled, all because of the cost in human lives still rising. this is an early morning on the

attack of a house in gaza city that wounded several palestinians and left a smoking creator. we are live there now. how intense is the situation? >> there's been fighting along the eastern border with israel. within the last hour, there was an air strike here in gaza city in which two people died. i'm currently at the hospital, which is the main hospital here in gaza city. it sees perhaps the most patients whenever we see the kind of violence that has gripped the strip over the past several days and weeks. when there are moments of calm like this, it really gives medical professionals a time to take stock and see just what sort of supplies they have and what they need. i've been given permission to show you what's inside these cup boards here.

you can see there's saline and other fluids, as well, but it's not a lot. when you consider just yesterday on wednesday, at one point, within 30 minutes, 300 patients came in here, because they suffered from various wounds, from shooting in the area on the eastern border. it really gives you a sense of just of the kind of strain this facility is on. i was speaking with one of the directors here. he said if the fighting doesn't stop, if the violence doesn't stop been a few days, he could run out of medical supplies altogether. >> we've heard that the israeli government says this offensive will continue. tens of thousands of people may be left in the streets of gaza without food, without water, and without shelter. why? >> here's the thing. this is obviously a conflict

zone, people dying every day. people are seriously injured every day, but there's a huge humanitarian crisis here, as well. there isn't enough places for people to go, places that have been deemed safer, u.n. schools, shelters for people fleeing conflict have been targeted twice. people losing their lives in these attacks. people just don't know where to go. if anything, around what we understand is around only 40% of the gaza strip is relatively safe for people to stay in. as we've seen time and again over the past several days, these areas which haven't seen fighting in previous conflicts have this time. you add to the fact that there's a severe power crisis in gaza ever since the attack on tuesday, on a main power grid, there's no electricity, that makes of course people's lives miserable within their own homes, but it has a knockdown affect, no electricity means no water in gaza. the reason that's the case is

because pumps are required to get water out of the ground and into people's homes. with no electricity, people don't have access to water, without access to water, that means they're prone to serious health problems. this humanitarian situation only getting worse. >> all right, thanks so much. the spokesman for the israeli prime minister joins us now from jerusalem. good to have you with us. a statement from amnesty international, the attack on the school july 30, the statement says if the strike on this school was the result of israeli artillery fire, it would constitute an indiscriminate attack and a likely war crime. did you in fact use an artillery shell to hit this school? >> i'll answer that in a second.

i just want to say that i owe you an answer from my previous interview. >> please, could you focus -- >> you're viewers -- your viewers -- your viewers. >> would you please answer the question. >> 20 seconds, no, no, no. i will, but please, last time there was a question. >> last time, you accused me of treating you unfairly. you said i should ever interviewed you in the same manner as those not accused of shelling any school by any

international organization. >> coming back to the question, did you use an artillery shell -- >> i promised you an answer i don't want to break my propses, please. at the hospital, there was no israel fire on that hospital. what happened was and your viewers need to know, the fire was on an immediately adjacent building that was a hamas weapons depot. there was no fire on the hospital. the question that needs to be asked is why is hamas putting its weapons depot next to a hospital? >> you still haven't answered my question. did you use an artillery shell to hit a u.n. school yesterday in gas? police stop raising distraction cards. >> the answer is unfortunately, at this stage still unclear. what is clear is that there was a firefight in the immediate vicinity of the school, and

hamas terrorists were shooting at our forces on the ground, as our forces returned fire when it's fired upon. what is clear is that hamas brutal sides turned the vicinity of a u.n. school into a war zone. the u.n. has already reported three particular cases where hamas weapons have been found in u.n. institutions and a consistent pattern of behavior by hamas to brutalize, vital u.n. neutrality, humanitarian actions by turning u.n. facilities into a war zone. the secretary general himself. >> you're not a spokesperson for hamas. i've had interviews from hamas in which i have pressed on this issue. please let us not waste time in this interview asking an israeli spokesperson what hamas has done. coming back to the question, may i quote to you what ban ki-moon has said after this attack?

all available evidence, all available evidence points to israeli artillery as the cause. is he wrong? >> i think of at this stage, it's still not clear. we are not aware that it was israeli artillery. we do know there was a firefight with both sides exchanging hostile fire. there was combat in the vicinity. i do not know if it was palestinian or israeli ordinance. hamas deliberately turned that area into a war zone. he said if terrorists are turning u.n. facilities into war zones, they are accountable for the tragic loss of life. we don't target u.n. facilities or schools. that has been done by hamas who has deliberately turned them into combat areas. why else are they storing

missiles in their facilities? >> we have done initial site visit. there was no evidence of militants firing rockets out of the school whatsoever. are you calling him a liar? are you saying you have definitive information that there was rocket fire or military activity going on inside that school? unwhich leyes, there were hamas forces shooting at our military in the vicinity. >> i've got the israeli army statement -- are you saying there was firing going on from inside this school? >> sorry, if you are outside the school, opposite the front gate and shooting, are you still not using the school as a human shield? lets be fair. >> answer my question. --

>> only a few minutes ago, she has said it is completely unconscionable that the pro procedures at and precaution that international law requires is being ignored. in answer to a question about whether it would be justified for israel to shell the school, if there is rocket fire or activity in what you call the vicinity. is she wrong? >> once again, there is no evidence at this stage that israel did in fact target the school. i know for a fact we did not target. could there have been a stray shell in the framework of a firefight. if that is the case, you have to blame the people who turned the area into a combat zone. you mentioned my friend chris guinness and we support the humanitarian work very much so. it's important first. -- >> no, please. >> the serious violation of

international law by israeli forces. now once again, how do you -- >> you aren't allowing me answer your question. he said there was no evidence -- sorry, you are confusing the issue and not allowing me to answer a specific question. you asked a specific question, please allow me to answer. you said that chris guinness said there was no evidence of israeli fire, correct? i'm sorry, of hamas fire in the area. >> in the school. i did not say that. >> humanitarian -- >> rail read to you again so it is clear. >> you said there was no evidence -- please -- >> he said we have done an initial site visit and this is what we can say so far, there was no evidence of militants firing rockets out of the school whatsoever. those are his words. do you have evidence that there was fire from -- >> correct, i'd like to answer that.

i'll ask the question specifically. what are the problems in covering this in gaza, doesn't matter if you're a reporter or humanitarian organization, if you go out there and you say did you see hamas fire, when you live in a gaza strip where there is authoritarian rule, where hamas rules with an iron fist, anyone who speaks out can face immediate violent retribution. there have been documented cases -- >> he's not a child, is he? >> i'm saying that no, no. >> we have dawn preliminary investigation -- >> i'm -- >> analyzed fragments. examined creators and other damage. are you saying he does not know how to conduct an investigation? >> but chris guinness, to be fair, to be fair, chris guinness did not know that hamas was

storing rockets in three u.n. facilities until it was too late. there is obviously a problem. the u.n. secretary general has admitted a problem, ordering an investigation of the u.n. facilities. how do you get people to stand up and say hamas was using this spot to shoot at when those people have to live with hamas? it's an authoritarian regime. you know that. do you deny that gaza is an you a tore tearian regime? -- >> can -- can people say what they think in gaza? can people -- >> have you used artillery shells in densely populated parts of gaza. >> of course we have. of course we have. >> an international quote says -- >> against targets in crowded civilian areas and its use in such a manner would never be considered a surgical strike are

they wrong? is this statement by amnesty wrong, as well. >> please, chris is a friend, sorry, chris is a friend and i won't allow you to put words in my mouth that i did not say about him. i don't think you should try to break up our very good relationship and our relationship that we respect. i never used those words about chris guinness and i ask you to take that back. >> you insinuated that. answer the question. are they wrong. >> no, i did not make any personal insinuation. >> artillery shells are not to be used in civilian areas. are they wrong? >> i'd be happy to answer the question. you know, you see, the war crime is committed when a terrorist group like hamas uses civilian facilities for its war machine. >> i'm asking you do you believe

amnesty is wrong in saying you shouldn't -- >> i'm answering your question -- >> police answer -- >> no, i'm answering your question by quoting the u.n. secretary general, who said ban ki-moon said last week that when terrorists turn u.n. facilities into a war zone when they put their missiles and war machine inside u.n. facilities, they are responsible, because that is the war crime. the essence of international humanitarian allow is separation between combatants and non-combatants. you know that. when hamas invites that, puts is war machine inside u.n. schools in mosques, in urban neighborhoods, it is responsibility for the most primary and severe violation of international humanitarian law. the point is, if in ensuing combat, innocent people are caught in the combat

inadvertently and unfortunately are casualties, the question has to be asked who turned -- >> they are not talking about -- >> who turned it into a war zone -- >> crossfire. there appears to be a deliberate defiance, deliberate, not people caught in crossfire. >> i don't think she said what you are insinuating. >> i'll read it again -- >> that international law imposes on israel, are you deliberately defying international law. >> on the contrary -- if you look at the way the israeli army behaves -- i didn't say that, you are always putting words in my mouth, do you have a problem? >> i'm asking for a yes or no answer. >> it's not fair. >> i'm asking for a yes or no answer. --

>> is she wrong, these are her words, defying your -- >> she hasn't said that. she said appears to be, correct? no, no with that she said appears to be. >> ok, do you think there appears to be -- international law? >> if you watch aljazeera, you you could get that impression, but it's not true. >> we'll leave it there. >> thank you. thank you for having me. always a pleasure. >> working on a ceasefire arrangement, have you reached an agreement for a joint delegation that would go from the palestinians to cairo? >> yes. >> when will that happen? >> as soon as israel accepts the ceasefire. >> israel on their part, i'm sure they would say they've accepted.

they've even introduce the unilateral ceasefires many tiles, it's the palestinian side which keeps breaking it. >> well, i will challenge the israelis to now there is an offer for ceasefire. >> from who? >> the americans are working on it, working own it, egyptian, qataris, europeans, ban ki-moon, the whole world. >> the israelis will say they unilaterally announced a ceasefire, and yet hamas did not respect it. the palestinians did not respect it, they took a cabinet meeting, it was backed by the egyptians, backed by the arab league and the palestinians refused to abide by that. >> they are not saying the truth. the truth is -- >> it did happen -- >> technically, technically they will say we want a ceasefire, accepted a ceasefire but this morning, called up another

16,000 reservists, raising the number to 87,000. you should keep in mind that gaza has no tanks, no f15s, nounal bases. up to this moment, 24 days of the so-called fighting as if there is war between two equal sides, not a single woman or child was killed, not a single israeli house was killed. >> not because there wasn't an attempt to do that. the israelis would point out the palestinians are firing indiscriminate rocket attacks, statements mentioning distinction portion at. >> let me take the story -- >> -- >> i'm here to have a ceasefire. i'm here because i know that this attacks by israel will not get any political solutions. now, yesterday, israeli asked people to evacuate their homes.

yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday. they give the israelis the coordinates of the schools. ok? and now, the u.n. is saying that several schools were hit not only yesterday, so what we have, deliberate attempts by the israeli army, air force and navy to target civilians and to murder civilians and to kill civilians. as a matter of fact, as i'm speaking to you now, the number killed is 1405 persons, more than 7,500 wounded. gaza today, once the dust settles -- >> you're not answering my question, the question is aren't the palestinians also employing tactics that have been credit accused by international human rights groups as endangering human lives, too. >> we respect international law. we are here saying we have four palestinians -- >> that's wrong, any tactics that endanger -- >> any targeting of civilians anywhere is wrong. all right?

we are not condoning anything. palestinians civilians are the once being cluttered, children are being clottiered. all of it, i'm telling you, not a single israeli civilian was killed or child or woman. we don't want this to happen, but. >> two israeli civilians have been killed by rocket fire and a civilian worker. >> we are not condoning the killing of civilians from anyone. the figures in my hands shows me that 53 families, children, women, parents, grandparents, were alienated, total families, numbering 40 to 50 to 70 to 100. ok? why is israel doing this, firing the missiles not knowing that gaza is the most densely populated area on earth? they know that, what is the purpose of this war? who initiated this war? did hamas beginning the firing of this war? wasn't israel began in hebron.

>> what's being targeted is the palestinian cause. what's being targeted is 11 million palestinians, israel waging war on the nothing unit and government. that's the truth. that's the truth. >> would the palestinian factions be willing to hand over the border. >> you recall last may, when we have had a palestinian national consensus government, hamas has no longer a government in gaza. there is a palestinian government composed of techno

cats agreed upon by hamas and all palestinian factions. we don't have a hamas government in gaza. they agreed we will be in the border. >> i have another point before we let you go i'd like you to answer. how does the palestinian authority plan to pursue action at the international criminal court? >> we are about to sign, we have an obligation in court since 2009 and we are considering now since we have the signatures of all factions, all leaders, to sign. i think what israel in gaza against palestinian what one title, war crimes. we will pursue this. >> do you have the necessary political and diplomatic support to become a member for the i.c.c.? >> yes, we do, since we became palestine should recall november 29, 2012, became an observer, a state at the u.n.

general assembly and we are in fact entitled to pursue this and we will. >> thank you for coming in here. >> diplomatic he had door james bays is in west jerusalem. first of all, given the developments that have happened, what does this mean for efforts for a ceasefire at this point, the israeli prime minister saying ceasefire, no ceasefire, the operation goes on. >> you've heard both sides or at least one part of the palestinian side in the last few minutes. let's just remind us of the context of all of this, sami, where we are, and let's remember who has called for an immediate ceasefire, because it is no lesser figures than the u.s. president, the secretary general of the united nations and a statement from the whole of the u.n. security counsel saying there needs to be a ceasefire now. yet you heard early on from

prime minister netanyahu saying that their military aims are not met, and that the israeli military will continue whatever to destroy those tunnels in gaza. they say any ceasefire deal won't be signed unless it allows them to continue their military operation to destroy tunnels. the national community on one side, and the israel prime minister on the other, on that particular issue, we understand that there is still talk going on. we understand behind the scenes they're talking about humanitarian pauses. they're talking about negotiations maybe in cairo to take this to a lofting ceasefire. it seems from the very. pronouncement at the start of the cabinet meet that go prime minister netanyahu has a condition. i'm only signing up for a ceasefire if my military on the ground can continue their work destroying those tunnels. >> is it just me or does it seem like the possibility of legal action is becoming closer and

closer of events in gaza, ban ki-moon joiningers in the last 20 our hours using words like accountability and justice. >> accountability and justice and lets put this all into perspective. that can only layout what happened and who was responsible. it cannot actually provide that accountability. only one place condition do that and that exists under their own statute as the international criminal court. for now, the events in gaza have appeared before that court, there are only two ways for the case to be referred to the court, by the country where the crimes took place, in this case, israel and israel will not refer it to the court or by the security coup krill of the united nations, where israel has a very loyal ally in the u.s.

which has a veto on any resolution in the security council that would refer it to the international criminal court. that's why the comments a moment ago to you are very important indeeded. if poll stein became a cigna atory to the court and there would be hurdles in its way, then it could refer the gaza file to the international criminal court and you could then see court action. worth noting if you saw court action, it could see israelis tried for their actions. it could also, of course, see hamas leaders tried for their actions in gaza, as well. >> ahead, we look at israel's military might, what help it's getting as the offensive takes the lives of hundreds of civilians. >> the american teenager beaten by israeli soldiers takes the message to washington.

>> i'm at the santa maria polo club in spain talking to the world's best polo player. ayer.

>> the chief palestinian negotiators told aljazeera they've reached and agreement for a joint peace delegation to cairo as soon as israel accepts the ceasefire. that comes as the bam barredment of gaza continues and 1,366 palestinians have now been killed. the israelis called up more

reservists and requested military resupplies from the u.s. the u.s. is making increasingly strong statements condemning israeli strikes that killed palestinian civilians. at the same time, the pentagon confirmed they are resupplying the israeli military. we are live in washington, d.c. do we know what sort of weapons are being resupplied by washington at this very sensitive time in gaza? >> well, the pentagon did confirm to aljazeera late on wednesday that it has at israel's request supplied the military with 120-millimeter mortar shells as well as 40-millimeter grenades. the requests were made july 20th. the pentagon will not say how many of these weapons, mortar shells and grenades were released to the israeli military or exactly when that transfer

took place, but it does confirm that per a long-standing relationship between the two governments, that the pentagon did fulfill this request. there are reports suggesting that the israelis may have requested other weapons, but the pentagon is only confirm that go mortar shells and grenades have been transferred to the israeli army. >> you may have herd, amnesty international, other human rights groups raising serious concerns about the way israel is using some of its weapons in gaza. are there any concerns being raised in the u.s. about the legality of weapons transfers to the israelis at this time? >> there haven't been many people raising the concern about the legality of weapons transfers to israel, because it really just is becoming a known

really in the past 24 hours that this is going on. however, the larger question of accountability is very much being discussed and officials inside the obama administration aren't really prepared to say exactly how the israel army on the one hand or hamas on the other should be held accountable for what the u.s. does consider a very serious uses of their weapons incidents involving the deaths of people inside gaza. it's a very, very difficult and sensitive question as you might imagine, but those questions are raised because there's really no question about what good it does to do investigations and determine blame for one incident or another unless one party or another is going to be held accountable. the u.s. isn't prepared to say who should hold whom accountable in what venue or the port being

held responsible would actually accept that punishment. >> thanks so much. >> sudan's president criticized the international community for its silence over gaza. also condemned the inaction of the muslim world. >> what is the role of the organization of islamic cooperation? what kind of cooperation is it that cannot react to gaza? when are muslims going to cooperate? if they are not going to cooperate to defend hear land, honor and people within what is the position of the arab league? >> a professor of middle eastern studies at the university of qatar and senior research fellow at the university of cambridge joins us live. while the sudanese government may not have a perfect record when it comes to human rights, does it have a point where it says what is happening to the arab position on this. does it seem the arabs are more

split to this conflict in gaza than any previous one? >> yes. everybody asks about the position of arab league. i think maybe the use or the term leaders is not accurately used, because there is no leadership at the moment in the arab world. what you have, i think as has been discussed elsewhere reflecting that anger is a bunch of businessman, traders which may be agents or messengers, agents in kind of delivering the actions that are required by foreign powers or messages moving messages between one party to another party. you can't see any leadership whatsoever in the arab world. leaders could be blamed of not

doing any action when it comes to the palestinian cause, the iraqi cause or any other arab cause. now we have reached a new low point where even the national interest is not even looked after, what we are seeing is the overwhelming paradigm of protecting the ruling elite interests. it's only the very parochial interests over the click that rules everything, almost everything in the region. we ended up with a group of traitors, agents who are kind of only concerned of protecting their own interests. this is what we're seeing in egypt, gulf countries, jordan and elsewhere. everybody is trying to protect their seats, their interests, even if this was an excess of the palestinian people and even if this puts them in a position of being perceived by their own

people as only american or even israeli agents defending the right of israeli to bam barred gas as we have been witnesses of the past three weeks. >> a lot of criticism is focusing on israel, obviously for the massive loss of palestinian civilian life there. when it comes to the siege. what is happening with the position of egypt, because egypt does close as well the crossing, doesn't it? >> at case in point which is even beyond discussion. netanyahu and the government accepted never accepted of course, maybe formulated the so-called egyptian initiative or proposal, and yet they refused the american initiative. if you think of it accepting the egyptian proposal while adjusting the american proposal,

this coming from israel, this means or this shows, as well, the extent to which the israeli position has reached, which is exactly on the side of israeli. this is amazing and beyond imagination. this will affect build up and resentment of anger within egypt and within the other countries, especially the gulf states and i think it will be later on. >> thank you so much. now palestinian american teenager who was badly beaten by israel police is visiting washington, d.c. he was arrested the day after his cousin was burned to death in jerusalem. the video resulted in international condemnation. we met the teenager in florida before he left for washington. >> back home safe and sound, tariq leads a prayer at his

house in tampa. his wounds have healed now, but the family said what happened on a trip to see relatives in jerusalem is still a painful memory. tariq's young cousin was burned to death in what palestinians claim was a ve very long killing for the death of three israeli teenagers. in the protests that followed, tariq was arrested by the israeli security forces. his family says this video shows the teenager being brutally beaten. at one point, tariq said he was blindfolded and denied medical treatment. >> my ribs hurt, because i had a fractured rib, soil hurts a lot. i have a lot of headaches, like i'm always drowsy and my head hurts and i just feel like laying down and going right to sleep. >> the video has led to demonstrations, but tariq has been asked to speak to officials in washington, d.c., something he looks forward to. >> i will try my best to tell them what is happening over there and i will try my best to

make them think about it, to make them think we're all humans, they don't deserve that. we should all have rights. >> the family says without his status as an american citizen, things for tariq might have been very different. tares friends and cousins are still in jail. the family refutes claims that he resists arrest or caused violence. >> he cares about his family a lot. it's more about his family and who lives there and here, he's just a very caring person and wants to make a difference. >> for any teenager, this attention is potentially unsettling. tariq said he will strife to speak on behalf of palestinians and send a message of peace. >> i want to be a spokesperson for palestinian, because i want to make a change. i want the people over there to understand that one day it will stop. one day, you're going to end up being happy one day, but we have

to wait for that day. >> the u.s. state department is said to be shocked at tares treatment and called for a full investigation. this teenager says he's already planning to go see his palestinian family in east jerusalem again soon. aljazeera, tampa, florida. >> the west africa ebola outbreak has killed 629 people. the army is enforces a quarantine. we have a report. >> these are the protective measures that medics have to undertake before feet treating patients. as they get closer to treat, they are in danger of infection. the wider community has forced the government to institute measures to protect the whole country. the president ordered closure of all schools. a thorough cleaning process for

of cases. >> that has prompted the withdrawal of 340 peace corps volunteers in liberia, guinea and sierra leone. the possibility that air travel could hop the virus cross continents is worrying governments. in nigeria, health officials are monitoring the situation. >> we have been meeting with the contacts, build on the level of the contact and we've been advising them on the very need for them to restrict their movement. all of them have temperatures to monitor their body temperatures in the morning and in the evening. then of course, full contacts. monitoring the contacts. >> the man who first identified the virus in the 1970's believes that the risk of infection
