will support a candidate from the party except maliki himself. the influential grand iatola indicated he thinks maliki should not cling on to power. >> translator: insisting and staying in a government post could lead to negative effects on the country and a terrible mistake and politicians should avoid it even those with a small responsibility to the people. >> reporter: the people are united against maliki it's less clear who could succeed him. >> it's not a given, it depends on the person, it depends on the situation. but the main delta in terms of how that would come out, those possibilities, is strong american support including military support in return for an iraqi political class that pulls together in one direction. >> reporter: some believe

maliki's predecessor could return but he is tainted to some people by his failure to deal with rising sectarian violence ten years ago. others point to akmed and once a favorite of the bush white house he is close to iran and who does get this faces challenges and first to defeat the islamic state and then try to patch up a country that has begun to divide on tribal and sectarian lines. dominick cain, al jazeera. >> lebanese troops entered for the first time since fighting started a week ago and islamic group seized the town saturday in the worst spill over since the war in syria began and convoys of trapped refugees are filmed trying to leave the town with belongings. a military source said the army started to enter and setting up checkpoints and advancing

some intercepted by the iron dome missile system. then after israel's delegation pulled out of cairo its military was ordered to launch attacks. the stricken people of the gaza strip have seen it before and with dread many knew heading for u.n. shelters, schools was the only answer. 4700 people are housed in this shelter. it has been full to capacity but during the 72-hour cease fire 1500 left to return to their homes. now they are all back, cueing for water, cueing for food. among those who have returned is this family. their house is here and badly damaged but they have been back to receive condolence for one of their adult sons who had been killed. >> translator: i remember him in every part of the house. i think of how good he was to his father, how kind he used to be to his kids, i miss him so

much. >> reporter: palestinians in gaza having had only a brief respite are now back in the mindset of desperation. andrew simmons, al jazeera, gaza city. the israeli military says 60 rockets were fired at the territory from gaza on friday morning and the video released shows fighters preparing and carrying out a launch. israel says several rockets were launched around four hours before the cease fire ended 8:00 local time and heavy barges began afterwards and police say two israelis were injured by mortar fire. let's look at the human cost of the conflict so far, since israel and gaza began a month ago 64 soldiers and 3 civilians and a ty national killed and the ministry says 1888 killed and three quarters are civilians according to u.n. and

nine-and-a-half thousand wounded and 170,000 are living in 89 u.n. shelters. nicole on-johnston but we will talk about why the cease fire wasn't extended from hamas? >> reporter: well, at this stage we have not heard much from hamas. we have, of course, heard from various people, suggesting that hamas is still trying to come up with some sort of agreement which in the long-term we will see an end to the blockade which we will see new rules which allow fisher men in the gaza strip to go further than allowed and an establishment of a port in gaza but we understand the gulf between what hamas wants and indeed what israel is

willing to settle for remains extremely wide. and that is why perhaps we have seen the kind of fighting we have today. in fact, just before i spoke to you i could hear the boom of an air strike. we don't know what the target was at this stage. but the fighting continues. >> in gaza thanks for much and speaking to nicole in west jerusalem and what do we hear about cease fire talks from israelis? >> just in the last couple hours we started to hear from the israeli media about the main sticking point, officially israel is not saying anything at this point but the israel media is reporting senior officials have said to them the main sticking point is the palestinian delegations demand for two things and it's a sea port from gaza and an airport. now many would say that these are sort of fairly lofty goals for the palestinian side and there is already a small port in gaza and obviously the palestinians would like there to

be a proper commercial port free of israeli control and allow them to bring in goods, construction materials. at the moment israel controls the commercial crossings into gaza. it only allows palestinians to bring in goods so to speak, limited goods, and no one inside gaza allowed to export anything. as for the airport, i have been to the airport in gaza and it's a completed bombed out ruins and bombed in 2001 and only opened for three years. so it is a big goal for the palestinian delegation to be asking for these two elements, the egyptian side from the reports we are getting is trying to say that it's not a realistic goal but as far as we are hearing at this stage the palestinian side are sticking to a long list of demands and two of the main ones at this stage. >> nicole in west jerusalem, thank you. well there have been clashes across the occupied west bank where thousands of palestinians were protesting against israel

bombardment of gaza. and police fired tear gas and used water cannon to dispurse people throwing stones and a 18-year-old boy was killed and 70 palestines were injured across from bethlehem and jeanene and hebron and we are hearing from nicole there that we are still seeing divernt terms and the violence in gaza is continuing and more violence in the occupied west bank as well. are we looking at a protracted period of violence now? >> we moves to a very strange period where war has ended but it has mutated into a new protracted, perhaps at attrition that will send

messages that are not exactly nonviolence. now, in the process what has been quite shocking but hardly surprising is that the egyptians have been anything but impartial in those talks in cairo. the egyptians seems to the palestinians and siding with the israelis on a lot of the points and that complicated the issue for the palestinians who have now been drafting and redrafting some of the points and making other points clear and so on and so forth and that is another element that entered in the framework why the palestinians feel like they are confronting negotiations and the israelis and egyptians. >> do you think egyptians will feel the pressure and talk about the cease fire and an end to the current round of fighting? >> this is rational thinking as you propose would make sense and i would have argued a long time ago that si si would have been

very smart to embrace hamas and say for me it's not a question of it's the same and the other question is just and gaza has a right to protect itself. but it seems the egyptian regime's hostility is far greater than it is view of palestine as a victim of israeli occupation today. and that's why, by the way, the palestinians both hamas are insisting on opening the port and that wasn't as important before. because it seems the gaza trust egypt less to open the crossings on the longer term. so before they were talking about opening crossings. this is getting a bit tricky because of israel and egypt change their minds in a few months gaza goes back to zero and opening the water would make more sense for them to feel like the siege has been lifted. >> a number of foreign policy challengers facing the u.s. in a region we were just hearing from the white house a short time ago

about the situation in iraq and voicing concern after what is happening to the minorities and christians and of course muslims are suffering at the moment but saying no boots on the ground and no protracted u.s. presence in iraq, what is your assessment and analysis of the way they are balancing these difficulties? >> i tweeted a little earlier a simple question to those people out there asking is the american intervention in iraq humanitarian or hypocritical and they have disagreement about that but they said both, they are getting humanitarian and a bit hypocritical because they did not intervene a few months ago when maliki was destroying village's and towns. >> and the bomber is asking questions about how he can justify intervention in iraq and the same thing not done in syria. >> we could argue for washington

that in iraq they were invited by state and syria not supposed to be invited by regime. for viewers around the world because there is confusion and israeli voices is saying isis and hamas is the same thing but it's not. one is defending occupied territories, isis is a group that has been basically in a medieval way taking over huge amounts of land but in both cases there is something that is common. entire region from palestine, lebanon and iraq is facing regimes and military occupations by foreign powers, those two have basically built up so much violence this is the result of it. the solution in iraq like palestine is a sound diplomatic intervention and the turks and

iraqis would like to see an end to isis and why not bring everyone on board in an initiative to take care of isis and do the same in israel and palestine, bring about a real diplomatic solution. >> that is a good question. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> and still ahead for you on the news hour including why bitter presidential rivals may be partnering up to lead afghanistan. >> emma where the community faces the challenge of trying to rebuild itself. plus the footballer hoping to take a chunk out of the ban for biting an opponent, that is coming up, in sport. ♪ now other top story this hour, ebola in west africa claimed the lives of at least 961 people in guinea, sierra leone and nigeria

fled for their lives on sunday. >> yes, many thousands have besieged on mount sinjar from the group calling itself islamic state and there have been air drops delivering food and water but what more do these people need to survive? >> they need the humanitarian assistance for sure and need the water, they need the food, they need the shelter. it's very, very hot up there in the mountains but what they also need is protection so there needs to be work that is being done to evacuate these people who are currently stranded in the mountains into safety. >> is it worth mentions, juliet, aside from christians and minorities suffering in iraq there are also muslims being persecuted? >> that is right. the crisis here in iraq is not
