man and his wife in the north of gaza strip. the israeli airstrike destroyed their home and another 15 people were injured and were carried to a nearby hospital director of the hospital in gaza city which is the chief she for one the biggest one. he told us. his hospital has been receiving lots of injured people most of them are civilians. including women and children and he expressed his concern. his hospital and other. gaza hospitals will not be able to receive more waves of injured people in case the israeli increases there. are in case of more us
5:08 am
collation. fighting groups are still promising for more retaliation in case the israelis increase their. lives of scale ation or. promote the bank of targets which started by hitting him to areas then hitting or targeting fight fighters then commandos are fighting groups then high buildings and then banks in the central area. 2 2 so we are expecting in case. go ahead or continue with its coalition there will be more a longer range rockets towards that aisle as the fighting groups promised. through their statements that they have been launching from time to time the last date of the toll in gaza the minister say is that 3069 people
5:09 am
killed including 17 child. children and 88 women more than 390 people injured from the law in the last 2 days of israeli escalation on gaza now we can we can hear the mosques now starting starting the prayer of the raid which sure should start in one hour from now but seems dark to her is. that this raid will be different because we have the. talking to some gazans they say this they said they freed in the case of blood referring to the victims that have been killed in the last couple of days so they are staying home not practicing greed and even minority of people will do the prayer of read because of our warnings on this fluxions of the officials here not
5:10 am
to gather in public places to practice their prayer or write stuff at our collude updating us there from gaza stuff what stay safe and thank you palestinian president mahmoud abbas chaired an executive committee meeting of the p.l.o. and call for an end to israeli aggression our people have spoken in the world and we. are without occupation aggression. without accept levels and settlements d. and grecian days really gratian have exceeded all limits and has. done and violated all treaties. laws and. let's bring in more in rabbani he's the coeditor of day or that's an independent online magazine produced by the arab studies institute he joins us via
5:11 am
skype from the hague moon good to have you back on the program so look we've seen this huge surge in intercommunal violence at these mixed jewish arab israeli towns how worrying is this latest development because it's pretty much unprecedented at this level isn't it. at this level and. the scope and duration certainly is unprecedented i think it needs to be seen in the context of 2 factors the 1st one is almost 75 years of systematic dispossession and discrimination and racism by the state against the palestinians in israel. the 2nd more near term factor is that in recent years the defense of the heart of machete and some mosque has fallen increasingly apart palestinian citizens of israel given the west bank and gaza strip palestinians have not been able to
5:12 am
go there and so when the. issue exploded in recent weeks palestinians within israel are very much involved and now you've had the extremist. jewish groups inside israel beginning you know what almost looks like a partner of sorts and of course these aren't just far right gangs these are people who whose leaders are in the government or in the parliament or in the security forces or in the command of the police and so on and on and when the problem now of course is once this intercommunal violence has been unleashed it's very difficult to put the genie back in the bottle isn't it because as you say the israeli government $73.00 s. and towards is ready jews at the expense of the palestinians. very much so and i think what you have here is a government which you know can make statements that this is bad and has to stop
5:13 am
but precisely because of its constituency these these are a small spoiled voters it's not going to be able to do very much to stop them when you have a situation where death to the arabs has for all intents and purposes become the israeli national anthem. so you know this is this is not going to be that easy to put an end to because you have a government that's basically constricted to constituent of lead incapable of putting a stop to this and i'm afraid it could go on longer and get very much worse yeah and if you put this within the context of the israeli state itself and you have these form of designations of arab towns jewish towns mixed cities it all begins to sound on look a little bit like a designations in the old south africa doesn't it. we are very much so or the american south before the civil rights movement i mean people often don't realize
5:14 am
israel. even though you know all people or most of them at least or are citizens it does stratify the according to national origin ethnicity and so on and it's a situation where one group is very much privileged and dominating the other group and again this is not just for right israeli gangs trying to lord it over palestinians these are for all intents and purposes the agents of the very active state and increasingly human rights organizations or explicitly characterizing this as apartheid for a very good reason 1000000 just just a final thought to you i mean the level of this into communal violence is clearly courts there's really prime minister by surprise so as this opened up yet another unwanted battle line for the israeli government and how will this play into the ongoing broader conflict that we're seeing now with hamas in gaza and the unrest in
5:15 am
jerusalem. what i think that's a very good point because on the one hand netanyahu is trying to present himself as kind of the guardian of israel stability and when you have rockets falling on television and mayhem throughout the country it doesn't very much. health to burnish that dampens but one thing that i think is important here is that his rivals are now attempting to establish a broad based coalition to the polls and the success of such a coalition depends on the passive or active support or least one of the arab parties in the israeli parliament and i suspect that at some level netanyahu is hoping that this growing polarization within israeli society will make it more difficult for. his rivals to agree a broad coalition that would put an end to his political career. always good to
5:16 am
talk to you thank you very much indeed for talking to others there are things going to break in there and. all right time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back and ramadan in the times of a pandemic how some muslims in america are educating the children about the faith more that sticks. with the. sponsored plan cuts and ways hello some heavy rain is falling along beginning sea river on thursday now by friday this is going to lift a bit further north it's going to impact shanghai with somewhat weather to end out the work week we're just getting clipped was some moisture from the eastern portion of honshu but tokyo by and large will stay dry you know the usual areas of concern towards southeast asia northern sumatra where we have seen some devastating

5:18 am
left to sort through mixed messages on a quite complex story from mainstream to street journalism the any object is to get free speech to send it to the wall keep changing what's going on exposing real world threats to objectivity often of our neighbor turned to moscow 11000 people were arrested listening post covers louis blues discovered on a jersey. welcome back i'm out of our top stories here at this hour an internal security building in gaza has been hit by an israeli air strike israeli air force continue to bomb the gaza strip for a 3rd day at least 69 palestinians have been killed including 17 children. the
5:19 am
armed wing of the palestinian group hamas has launched more rockets at israel it said it was in response to the killing of several hamas commanders 7 people have died in israel as a result of the attacks from gaza. and tension of spilled onto the streets of israel's mixed palestinian israeli towns and neighborhoods there been riots in the city of near tel aviv shops and by palestinian israelis have been targeted. by u.s. president joe biden has spoken to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu about the ongoing conflict he said he was optimistic the violence won't last much longer . my expectation hope is that. this will be. closing down sooner than later but israel has a right to defend itself when you have thousands of rockets lined indeed your territory but i hadn't of conversation from one always with the prime minister of
5:20 am
israel and i think. my hope is that we'll see this coming to a conclusion sooner than later well vali nasr is a professor of middle east and international studies he says the u.s. doesn't have much leverage of israel when it comes to palestine it was a caught off guard by even the 1st phase of the call which was the expulsion of palestinians trying their homes in jerusalem which led to conflict in that city which led to an end israeli attack on the al aqsa mosque that then. led to this current current crisis and it was caught off guard and he was caught playing catch up every step of the way and currently i don't know what privately president biden might have said and heard from prime minister netanyahu and what gives them hope but publicly the u.s. is playing its old card its supporting israel and it doesn't have seem to have any leverage that would actually dictate what israel will decide to do in gaza i think
5:21 am
it's very difficult for the by going to administration to do this because right now it's prime minister netanyahu isn't the drivers he decides to escalate in jerusalem he decides to respond to hamas attacks with overwhelming force and the u.s. is left to play catch up so it doesn't look like president biden is in a position to actually influence israeli policy and therefore in a way he may claim to be moving back to the trump administration but the rules of the game still remain those that were written during the trump theory. for u.n. secretary general antonio the terrorist says restarting the peace process is needed to bring an end to the violence international law applies to everybody without exception all member states are supposed to abide by the resolutions namely the resolutions really council and obviously the unity of the city council is the extremely important instrument the recent incidents demonstrate how important it is
5:22 am
to restart effectively the peace process because it's the only way i would true believer that we need to promote a 2 state solution living in peace and harmony between the 2 and with normalized relations with the region and the full participation of the countries of the region of the international community as a whole in creating the conditions for this peace process to move forward. without a national security council has held another closed door meeting to discuss the escalating violence as he has questions really has more now from the u.n. in new york. the security council has held 2 closed door meetings over the course of 48 hours and got 2 briefings from torah venis latin the u.n. special coordinator for the middle east peace process where he warned of a rapidly deteriorating situation but despite much concern and much engagement on the part of the security council members no statement has been issued we're told by
5:23 am
diplomats that the united states objected to efforts to do so saying that they felt it would be quote counter productive as a result 4 members of the council as tonia norway ireland and france issued their own statement calling for an end to the violence but also for adherence to international law we condemn the firing of rockets from gaza against civilian population that is grown which is totally unacceptable and must stop immediately the large numbers of civilian casualties including children from israeli air strikes in gaza and of israeli people. from rockets launched from from gaza are both warry and unacceptable why only recognize israel's right to self defense against such attacks we call for the israeli security forces do it exercise maximum restraint in order to protect civilians in
5:24 am
line with international humanitarian law the un's middle east coordinator has publicly warned of the possibility of full scale war and called on all parties to the conflict to do their part to deescalate the situation the u.n. says a unified statement from the security council would have been helpful in that regard but they're not giving up hope just yet. well thousands of health workers took to the streets in argentina to mark international nurses day demanding better wages and recognition for their work especially in the midst of a coded pandemic stories about reports from what is ours. the torch is illuminated the central one aside is on wednesday. they were carried by nurses from argentina capital to demand better salaries. says public health care workers are exhausted and underpaid. in my hospital there are
5:25 am
patients on every floor we have friends that got sick all salaried leaves us below the poverty line we have to work in several hospitals to make ends meet. health care workers are also victims of the economic crisis in argentina that's been exacerbated by the pandemic. purchasing power has been weakened by the double digit inflation rate that's been haunting argentina for years. but in this hospital in moreno outside the capital the situation is even worse nurses say they haven't been paid in 6 months hospitals and health centers like this one in argentina have been struggling to cope with the rise of covert 19 infections doctors and nurses say that they've been working nonstop since the penn demick began and that they were summoned by the government to deal with a national emergency until now they've never been paid i know there. are malice
5:26 am
says they're desperate and that's why they started protesting outside the hospital to see all of us continue to work even still. we all walk with call the patients we lug basic items likes and interests but we are here trying to kid for our patients we don't know when we are going to get the 8 there's about 120 people in a similar sea to a. at the hospital some of them are about to be evicted from their homes because they're unable to pay rent. labor unions are distributing food to those struggling to make ends meet most of the ones working here are women and we are vulnerable over how we are treated we are helping patients but also our families and we do all this without a salary many are free to speak out because they are afraid to lose their jobs even though they're not paid. argentina is battling an economic crisis and epidemic that
5:27 am
has left more than $10000.00 people dead in the past month. the government has shut down schools and imposed a curfew to contain the spread of infections but for more than a year hospital workers have provided the frontline against covert 19. and they say that if they are to carry on effectively they need better wages. then he said well i just want to say this. now for the 2nd year in a row muslims around the world observe ramadan made coronavirus lockdown restrictions in the united states so mosques reopened to a degree but large gatherings are still limited but as hot as you cast are reports this hasn't stopped some time millions from finding new ways to educate their children about their face. coming. this is what the a modern family did every night this ramadan season the 4 boys and their parents would find their seats and.
