israeli territory since monday at least 7 people in israel have been killed including a 5 year old boy and the violence is spread. fighting on a scale not seen in decades has broken out between palestinian israelis and jewish residents in several cities international pressure for a cease fire grows by the day un security council members are calling for an open emergency meeting on the situation after 2 closed door sessions failed to produce a joint response let's bring in our correspondent gary forces to join us live here on the news from southern israel harry we have been hearing from mr netanyahu what's your reading of what he's been saying. ok we need to. i think what we're going to do is leave the camera pointing in this if you've got the shot in the sky we're going to leave the camera pointing here in this direction for a 2nd and head to the shelter mark come on come with me now. right so i can carry

on talking to you i've got the microphone wireless which i'm just going to a shelter nearby there's another round of rocket attacks heading into israeli territory and iron dome interceptions just above us in fact. it looks like this round is over some going to come back to apologies so sorry peter do us a question again it's not a problem harry it's a very fluid varying situation minute to minute hour to hour i guess. i was just asking you to put it into context for us these comments that we've heard today from mr netanyahu. yes i mean he came down to this this part of of israel and went to a. an an iron dome anti missile battery himself and was there to praise the commanders and those involved in that effort saying that it preserves

greater opportunities in both attack and defense now what has been happening as far as the israelis are concerned. so far today is as you are saying a continuation more airstrikes targeting as well as buildings inside gaza they're also talking about targeting more senior hamas personnel and indeed anti-tank missile units but throughout a bad can they have said that the government has said that there's no immediate will to bring an end to this or to even start talking about a cease fire indeed israeli army at the moment on this day is preparing a ground offensive plan to be put up the chain of command all the way up to the political echelon it says for a final decision as to whether to carry it out that would be a ground offensive involving $7000.00 troops according to some of the reporting in the israeli media it doesn't mean that it's imminent or even necessarily likely

because that has attendant risks very large ones both in terms of a wider escalation even whatsit what we're seeing now and into the lives and liberty of israeli soldiers so when. as making those sorts of calculations about the potential impact on a school a conscript national service army that's another thing that you have to consider however i think the key thing that came from his comments when he came down here is the message that this doesn't appear to be coming to any kind of an end anytime soon. are going to miss a little the defense activity of iron dome better reasons giving us an offensive space in the israeli defense forces have already attacked hundreds of targets will soon pass $1000.00 targets we continue striking hamas will defend our citizens we will take more time but with great firmness and off since as well as different we will achieve our goal of bringing back come to the state of israel. and we just

heard the latest in a series in the last half hour or so of tank rounds or rather sorry long range artillery rounds howitzers going out from a position that we were looking at a little bit earlier on in the day so there is no slowdown quite the opposite at the moment i would like to ask you another quick question harry a you and the crew ok to carry on talking for a bit yeah we'll find out outgoing is generally not a problem it's it's when the iron dome is in operation about us that we need to get to the shelter say please continue ok understood thank you for that so israel as well the massing its kids its military equipment on the border with gaza so on the one hand i guess mr netanyahu keeping all options open but the signaling the choreography as ever he so crucial.

indeed this is. something sometimes this can be seen as a bit of a show of force we certainly have seen big tank maneuvers and heavy artillery and other large pieces of weaponry moved into place in more minor such escalations in recent years so it is not. abnormal for although i mean this entire situation in many ways is abnormal but it's not. out of line with what usually happens for the israelis to to mass a large amount of. act vehicles and the like in the area but it does seem that they are considering this and wishing to publicly communicate that they're considering this as a serious option whether that has any kind of effect on hamas is unclear i think most analysts would probably assume that hamas would be more willing at the moment to talk about

a cease fire than the israelis appear to be so quite what they are would be wishing to force hamas into by displaying a show of force not really clear and i think we should also talk about one other thing which is the continuing comment of violence across the rest of the country there are more disquieting videos being shown i mean i've just seen an interview with a palestinian israeli woman who owns a an ice cream shop in the coastal town of beit jala that was totally demolished by far right racist jewish rioters saying that she had been someone who'd lived alongside jews all her life she was giving the interview in hebrew and talking with real sadness about what had been seen we've also seen video of settlers apparently west bank settlers armed in the city of lloyd which has been the focal point of a lot of the violence there had been a 5 pm bar on anyone who doesn't live there from entering but it seemed that the son of god in our. and we're in

a car park there are various things going on social media inciting further such violence also reports of a jewish man in acar in the north who had been out trying to prevent his young students according to his family from getting involved in the violence he was spotted by a group of palestinian israeli youth and was beaten to it to the extent that he's now on a ventilator the government is trying to move on this benny gantz the defense minister talking about accelerated legal processes to get punishment into terence in place the prime minister reportedly considering detention without charge which is something that is very rare outside of the military law that we see enforced on palestinians in the occupied west bank so a sense just there of the other side of this extremely concerning set of circumstances that that are happening both here the military escalation and this real flurry spreading fire of communal violence inside israel ok harry many thanks

to you and the crew there in southern israel harry for set out as he was correspondent there in the thick of it let's just show you the latest gaza skyline live shot that we have coming to us here in doha just to get a sense of what's been going on there you can see there off on the left hand side of the smoke rising one assumes the consequences of what's been going on in this exchange of fire al jazeera stuff what i'll call it joins us live from gaza just take us through what's been going on there in the past couple of hours. liston let's talk about the top in the couple of minutes ago when the palestinian fighting groups. loaned the range of rockets towards the negative about which is 45 kilometers far from gaza which is the 2nd biggest city so normally these.

range rockets fired off every israeli escalation also minutes before this new. fire. attack raided on 4 houses below and according to the israelis belong to find thing groups. so every israeli us collation pettily is confronted by another a new palestinian fighting groups a scale asian before that 3 hours ago. the military wing of hamas they said that they fired the longest range. rocket. its 220 kilometers towards iraq which is another. significant important development for the palestinian fighting groups also they said that they are using now their lunching you draw as full of explosives that they have

used that at least one time these new drones they use that into the world of 2014 at the end of the teams that they will use it in and you will live an escalation in case this condition continue the minister of health in gaza say that the number of. people killed in the 2nd on the last 3 days of israel is collation up to 86 including 17 children more than 400 people injured and. from the israeli raid from the israeli television we talked to the director of the hospital he. done head to the health system in gaza suffer from the looks of crisis after 50 years of israeli siege in gaza after 3. in the last 10 years. of covert 19. dealing with

covered one think with sequences which are more crisis more difficulties to the health system. in gaza people are staying at home which is the 1st day of. the feast normally they are they used to go and visit each other and this special day the children used to go on for fun on foot and then they meant but it's like it looks like a kid feel the streets. we are still waiting to see what is the coming. carrying for the gods or the politicians in god that we talk to they said they will conducted by the egyptians and they expressed over this at the told them they are relieved to see the fire if the israelis accept that but according to them. it is have rejected to deal with any initiative of ceasefire until now. and his response oh the action. and his reaction to. a high

official said i think what we i'm going to have to stop you there but thank you so much for talking to us from gaza are you safe how much is a resident in gaza he works we know which refugee council but he has himself at his home to protect his own family he joins us from gaza city. you got an inkling of what was going to happen because there was a drone strike in the area where you permanently live if you're not there at the moment so just explain to me what happened ok thank you. i was in my house with my my pregnant wife well my 3 years old daughter and trying to convince ourselves that it's safe to be at your house usually nothing more safe for us than you are your case your house and if so 6 pm 2 days ago the land drone is like. apartment below my house. so i think

it was everything happened suddenly i had to flee my house directly usually we understand that when the drunk ok it hit and i've a building it means that it's too late for on an airplane attack so i had to flee as much as. i did i could not take anything because i was just trying to deal with my terrified daughter i had to take care of my regnant wife trying to run away to next about meant to next the next building is the same neighborhood to my apartment house. ok maybe just trying to convince ourselves that it's more safe while with no place a single. i had to stay that day at my apartment i could not take anything with me so only steve until now and my short so i had to the next day 'd i had to come back to my apartment again to bring some clothes for my daughter for me some medicine

that i need to bring for my my wife i went back 2 minutes after i entered the apartment again their partners were also again and i have to skate again trying to secure myself and i had to flee again to my parents' house the next the same yesterday that what happened yesterday or the same night was last night was one of the longest night we live in our life together especially in the north area i live in the north area at the end in my neighborhood where my parents and i live where there were like more than 30 air strike and let 2 to 3 minutes so that was it and it was a nightmare so also today i had to flee again to my grandparents' house with all my family and to spare the family trying to convince them that ok it's going to be maybe it's going to be much safer in somewhere else and we have a lot we can do is move from place to another place to convince ourselves that ok

it's going to be safe here here where you work you know there's no place for me for interrupting you there you said you work for the norwegian refugee council so you're totally across how garza operates and functions anyway even before this kind of pardon me this kind of series of incidents percolate through gaza give us a sense of how the hospitals can cope anyway because they've been hard hit by coded and we're hearing all these reports saying that what's going on with israeli armaments going into gaza is sending a big steady stream of people to the hospitals in gaza. and i were working then or you know if your console is one of the stork with antenna displaced people or the people who are forced to flee their houses so i'm really aware about the situation but it's also different than you would be the one who had to flee by force according to the guarding of the help figuring out where you are after 15

years of siege on gaza and there's no any kind of document with the shifa hospital . the main hospitals in. recent years after 15 years of siege and. thousands of engineers civil wars until now then we had a great march of protests and then now we have this is collation before that one year of kovi that even they could not manage. what we know that even the hostages in gaza 6 or injured are in gaza could not cope with what was going or what was receiving from kuwait and this then this happened so i think we are facing a huge prize especially in the health sector in gaza and if the number of casualties increases that's when i read. many in clean of a huge problem that is going to take longer than this is collision i don't know if you heard before we came to use if i was having a conversation with our reporter in gaza he was telling us there are reports on the

ground that the gazan political leadership has been talking to the egyptians and the egyptians want some sort of tolls in what's going on your political leaders in gaza saying ok we will post this but israel's got to pose as well or israel has got to pause what it's doing before we will pause what is going on from our end of this conflict does that does that represent any kind of any hope for you or toll that there might be a stepping back from this. ok 1st of all i'm having a tear in and i work with many international going to the show and usually our work is in him you're clearly in so i'm not really involved in political scene in general but as you will see if as geysers also i can see that we are hoping that this is going to show patience well as it can be the only personally i'm wearing that's the only teacher that i haven't fallen short that i have this is the 1st day

of this is my outfit were made and it's off and other 2000000 gazans are hoping that this is going to finish as much soon as they can and i'm not really in what i'm trying to tell my not the envoy about the negotiation between israeli forces and the guys over there gyptian i'm i'm really not any my sick don't talk ok we are focusing in on the region for if you can still learn how to respond now after this crisis happening understood you serve as a resident of gaza i just want to get your thoughts on that but i do appreciate what you're saying that you work for a refugee organization thank you so much for talking to us from gaza used to go into so much thank you ok let's show you some more of the latest pictures coming to us just filmed a few moments ago inside gaza you can see there the aftermath of what's going on on the streets there people running with their children you saw how much they're making the point that this is the 1st day of celebration the holiday comes at the end of the muslim month of ramadan traditionally of course muslims around the world

they go out they can't do that in cars or they socialize they can't do that right now yusuf is making the point that that was his outfit shorts in the t. shirt that he left with his daughter and his pregnant wife he left his apartment in those clothes yesterday and then he went back to try and pick up some more supplies a very fluid situation there on the ground you can see people either running away from or running towards what looks like the aftermath of. a rocket attack that's come into gaza presumably from across the border inside israel the israeli authorities have been using that system which can spot and take out any of the missiles being fired from inside gaza everyone is focusing on the side some of the the weaponry that is coming out of gaza has got

a longer range i guess it would be fair to say than the israeli authorities were prepared to deal with up to now while the spokesman of hamas military wing said the group's decision to strike israeli cities was easy but a lot of us that the decision to bomb tel of the jerusalem dimona ashkelon ashdod. and any cities before or after that from our occupied cities is easier for us than drinking water. it abraham joins us live now from ramallah in the occupied west bank i guess in the the smaller scheme of things over the past few days where you are today was relatively quiet is it still quiet it is relatively quiet as you say but we've heard from locals in the 21 a village which is near how drawn in the occupied west bank or told us that they were trying to fend off an israeli settler attack against their village where they

had 8 palestinians who were injured by this up their attacks and this is not something new peter for israeli settlers to be attacking palestinians in their homes and of villages or even those traveling between one palestinian city to another you know with more expansion of illegal israeli settlements more attacks and joining me here now to talk more about this is. a palestinian researcher how are you perceiving this increase set their attacks in the past few years. yes what we are seeing today is absolutely terrifying and horrifying but palestinians are not surprised by this recent escalation the palestinians have been subjected to settler attacks since the existence of the state of israel in 1948 and palestinians have maintained that israel is a settler colonial state and i think it's time now for us to listen to palestinians for their calls for freedom what we're seeing here in the west bank where we are

living under occupation is the same thing that we are seeing with these increased attacks on palestinians in and in and and and what we are seeing in the gaza right now with the relentless bombing it's so important for us to emphasize also that settlers and military are working in tandem with one another because there is one cause here and that is to remove and expel palestinians from this land and according to u.n. figures more than 95 percent of such their attacks against palestinians go without an indictment how are you trying to expose these attacks to the world well palestinians for 73 years have been exposing these attacks through protest we have used diplomatic efforts through the united nations we have gone to the i.c.c. we have continued to speak up in media outlets and now i believe it is time for the international community to step up and to take the mantle from us for palestinians

to constantly be exposed like this palestinians are often are arrested by the israeli military for speaking out about the horrific violations that we indoor and so if the international community to can come and step in and actually not just make condemnation statements or stand in solidarity but to take action we want the international community to take sanction seriously because i believe that is the only way that we are going to see any justice or any calm in this land and. do you think that the electronic campaign that is becoming a new battlefield for palestinians is helping them expose their cause to the international community absolutely and i think all of the people that are videotaping the violence that they are experiencing on behalf of the israeli settlers and by the military are incredibly courageous for doing so because they put themselves in the crosshairs of being attacked and by filming them i think we

need to do them justice by exposing that their videos all across the world and to actually be able to use them and use that platform as a way to speak out i know celebrities are speaking out more and more about the palestinian cause and we also asked them to take more action as well thank you so much and she's a palestinian researcher and as we know that more palestinians were trying to get their clothes out to the world some were criticizing this will media platform they were saying that they were being censored that some of their hostages have been disappearing but many of them have told us that their with the international awareness to the issue now the things are getting better in this new battlefield which is social media that are thank you very much that abraham reporting live from ramallah well as the airstrikes continue so does violence between palestinian israelis and jewish residents is on a scale not seen in decades the tactics of israeli police are also being called

into question the ripper manning reports and a warning there are some strong images in her report from the start. the. charge of death. and hate spilled out into the streets in the coastal city of. palestinians radius and to the close proximity turning on. chapa. among many final incidents on wednesday a palestinian man was dragged from his car by dozens of jewish israelis who continued to beat me even after he lost consciousness the video is proconsul live on israeli television. i am. 7 i am closer to tel aviv passim business is being run from the wave of violence is hit

dozens of cities and regions across israel it's the worst between communities living alongside each other in decades i think we have to go back again to the structural roots and the roots of what is happening today it is wrong to look at what is happening only from through the lens of the past few days again israel is a settler colony that has got to rise at. all and your people are. all and they have the right to resist they have the right to be free was tension came to a boiling point is a court prepared to rule the force expulsion of palestinian families from the homes in the occupied east jerusalem shaker chair a neighborhood israeli journalist yossi melman says he's worried about the challenge to groups inside israel running amok he says the headed to the abyss as a result of absence of governance i guess years of incitement and prime minister

benjamin netanyahu has asked both sides to stop the attacks. the moments the lynch nothing justifies the lynching of errors by jews and nothing justifies the lynching of jews by arabs it's unacceptable. in the attempt to quell the violence netanyahu ordered the emergency deployment of the forces. but police tactics are under scrutiny after this video was shed on social media of officers storming a family home in the northern city of haifa they could be seen beating him an armed palestinian israeli man was. the and to the south of tel aviv the city of lot has been put under a state of emergency the 1st in an arab community since 966 it's been one of the worst hit by riots on tuesday night jewish cars in a synagogue was satellites a mosque was burned the next day and palestinian mussa hassouna was shot dead by

jewish residents during protests. even though the court has been spared the hearing unchecked gera many are now more worried about how to stop the violence caused by anger that's been simmering for much longer nor about among the al-jazeera. stay with that angle of what's going on there for us that rick is an artist and musician who was born in haifa but has israeli citizenship he joins us now from galilee for us rake other the authorities namely the police are they willing or able to stop what's going on. well so far what we've seen that there are definitely trying to stop palestinians from protesting peacefully but they're not trying to stop new fascists and zona 16 with group who are trying to lynch the syrians from doing what they do and you can see this on social media platforms in haifa and lud and most of the mic next downs in sight israel and what's happening is that they're wrecked the

result of a continuous incitement machine that is caused by this government against palestinians arabs in israel and gaza and the west bank now we have to be very clear in highlighting that distinction between an occupier and an occupying these groups are armed and are backed by the country palestinians are not and are not backed by the country we are oppressed they are not oppressed so we have to be very articulate about our political technology these are not classes it's just a continuous ethnic cleansing result mr netanyahu is talking about a curfew would a curfew be enough to take the temperature of the anger i mean and the anger we're seeing let's let's be clear about the anger we're seeing is pretty ferocious. growth i think what would really cause it's start immediate talks to start the bombing. start immediate talks with the senior officials to lift the siege from guards that can still think of ethnic cleansing and infections of ships that are

never heard let muslims do their personnel up some more and really really try to prevent these armed groups from looting philistine and i mean we aren't living peacefully inside is a yes we are and yes we are desperate we are trying to protest that and express it in so many different ways but they are leaving us not choice they are the ones who are causing the violence and we are helpless right now and the only thing that is causing us to be united is our strong belief in our deep and just struggle i mean we are an extension of people living in gaza and living in the west bank and jerusalem even though it's got to go has a different you know means of struggle and different circumstances but eventually there is one military institution that inciting against us can do is look 247 and it's solving fear in the heart of israelis so i want to call on all the rational as rootless to join but the thing is inside israel under one slogan end up our time and the war and stop the bombing only then maybe we can have some real dog but the

moments and the force of the anger that we are seeing on the streets of israel this is neighbor to neighbor in effect this is people who've lived cheek by jowl i assume graham if i've got this wrong here i assume they've lived in close proximity for generations and that anger doesn't come from no place it doesn't it spontaneously come into existence in a vacuum so it must have been there anyway. that's correct however it might be misleading because yes there are mixed cities between palestinians and israeli jews however there are those in all the meaning meaning they have. 0 budgets close to 0 budgets you can see the difference in the budgets and infrastructure in the street there is a huge rate of crime and if you got. your boots are you sure have or whatever town you can see the difference in infrastructure so there is

a continuous and daily struggle of systematic racism against that of seniors living in israel so this anger doesn't come from you know. some 10 years back you know yes we are used to. being together in universities in different institutions at work at hospitals restaurants even so it's a different kind of dynamic between us however whenever this kind of glasses happens that israeli media institution is trying continuously to. adds fuel to the fire by inciting against palestinians and really it's a lot of misinformation for israelis so it's ordered it's easier to control the masses when you feel in their hearts that's what i have to say given that that anger has been there for a long time clearly on both sides could this be yet the beginning of the end of coexistence in effect israelis and palestinians who co-exist inside israel.

i believe in call existence i have struggled all my weight all my life to our school existence however coexistence has to come with equality political equality and dignity and social equality and dignity for all palestinians living from the river to the sea and the west bank as an israel i mean this continuous talk about different kinds of palestinians inside israel injuries of them in the west bank in gaza is only making things more sophisticated when in fact the equation is quite simple i see no obstacle for a coexistence as long as people have their dignity people have their equality i mean nobody wants to see violence people in gaza are not interested in this bombing but they are fleeing hell they have 40 hours of electricity and water per day they have a huge amount of unemployment polluted water i mean it's that is that mostly the

most populated area on the planet basically it's one big concentration camp so if you compare that to someone living in tel aviv it's a totally different equation it's a totally different conversation to her so 1st let's try to make things right and then top up our existence i still believe in court exists and i and what i want go existence but in return to what extent if what who has to give up more of their rights and we're ok we must leave it there for us to make thank you so much for joining us from new galilee. still to come here on the news hour for you the cyber attack on a u.s. pipeline that's exposed just how vulnerable american companies are to future attacks. and remembering their heritage we look back at the history of the tech empire now called mexico city. stretches quarterfinal record of the roman masters that's in sports coming up with joe in about 15 minutes.

hello let's get you up to speed with that disturbance in the arabian sea rate now we're starting to see some proper circulation on it and the area of concern really will be as we head toward go up through mumbai our computer model if i take it towards saturday it's still keeping it offshore but there is a circulation so it could certainly develop into a tropical cyclone over the next little bit give you a wider look right now at the middle east not a whole lot going on we do have some mountain showers for southern iran but high temperatures here kuwait 43 doha 42 but will dial that temperature up in doha on saturday up to 44 degrees ok off we go to south africa where temperatures and conditions are pleasant now capetown 21 degrees stress by 20 but we do have

a big push of moisture for the western cape and this is certainly not good news almost a week after we dealt with intense flooding towards stress by but i think the worst of it will impact cape town so i show you the 3 day forecast so friday will squeeze one more nice day but by saturday 75 millimeters of rain that is more than a month's worth of rain in 24 hours so the very real risk of flooding is here. cultivating food is the foundation of human civilization but food today is a global commodity if the industry did not make money how many people would be at work and how it's cultivated a contentious debate public interest in the public safety is definitely not taking precedent and in-depth examination into agribusiness and the conflicting interests

ok let's update you on the latest developments from gaza and israel this hour israel says it will continue its aerial bombardment of gaza ignoring international calls for calm and a rapidly climbing death toll in the 7 palestinians have now been killed since monday. and a short time ago palestinian factions fired more than 100 rockets into israel target in tel aviv and were all international flights have been diverted at least 7 people in israel have been killed since monday. paper says prime minister boris johnson says israel and palestine must work towards deescalating the violence i think i think everybody's very concerned and certainly we in the u.k. very sad to see what is is happening and the cycle of violence that now seems everybody wants to see is urgent urgent deescalation and that's what don robb has been saying to his counterparts both in the in israel and in the in the

palestinian authority u.s. president joe biden has spoken with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and says he hopes there will be a conclusion soon but he said israel has quote the right to defend itself let's cross live now to the white house and our correspondent kimberly hellcat so kimberly what else do we know about that conversation. well what we know is that the president is being criticized in the united states for that conversation for a number of reasons from both republicans and members of his own democratic party the reason that there is a lot of criticism 1st of all is that many of the president's party believe that he's taking sides for example the secretary of state spoke with both the israeli prime minister and the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas but joe biden the u.s. president only spoke to the israeli leader and this is not sitting well with many

members of congress in fact he's being accused of taking sides and taking sides with a u.s. ally but they are saying it is violating human rights now one member of congress alexandria cortez has gone a step further and given the fact that the president has said that only israel has a right to self-defense that this is refusing to acknowledge she says the rights of palestinians and reinforces a false idea that palestinians instigated this violence now i mentioned that republicans are also not happy with the president's strategy comments but for different reasons they are upset because they allege that hamas is firing these rockets paid for by iran and for this reason the administration currently in vienna trying to get the iranian side in compliance with regard to the j c p a way or agreement to limit its nuclear program they say that those negotiations

should be halted so there is a lot of concern from members of congress on capitol hill about the bided ministrations actions and so far the president continues to press forward saying that they are engaging on all levels trying to deescalate the violence but the strategy so far not sitting well with. many on both sides of the political spectrum kimberly many thanks for that can really help you reporting live from the white house in washington let's bring in al jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashara mowen so we've heard 2 closed door sessions of the u.n. security council calls for a 3rd we've got comments from the u.k. prime minister dominic robb the u.k. foreign secretary and also joe biden wading in as well nothing's changing what has to happen before everyone steps back here. well we're going to have to take a more serious. position on what's going on in palestine beyond what seems

to me like empty statements about the escalation because we all understand that these did not just happen out of the blue but there are. reasons that are the root causes and that starts with occupation starts with the dispossession starts with the fiction as a palestinian or the incarcerations of palestinians and a bigger fiji camp called gaza it starts with the slicing up of palestine into the slithers of the siege by to stimulate their thirty's so there's a lot going on there and if the international community the likes of boris johnson and joe biden don't take some. clear position and use that leverage with israel to stop its assault in gaza on jerusalem and to urge them as well. to try and restrain those mentioning mobs it within israel it sounds in those so-called mixed

cities where we now see how we see the footage lynching mobs coming from the west bank illegal settlers phonetics and organizing coming in buses in order to beat up and to and to inflict as much. violence and destruction on but a senior citizens within israel so there's a lot going on and aside from the n.t. statements we are not seeing real movement towards that is that you should the u.s. security council and we start going not seeing the kind of leverage being used on israel in order to stop clearly when we talk about that communal violence in those mixed cities on is ready territory we've got to be super careful with the language because the language is always so loaded when we discuss things like this. but when it comes to the communist violence you've got and i was talking to a guest earlier on here on the news and you've got neighbors who've lived so close

to each other for many many years and there isn't it would appear an instant level of anger and violence that has been simmering the anger has been simmering for a long time there is no talk some politicians are talking about this now that they're framing it with the expression a civil war it's a long way away from being a civil war but even mr netanyahu clearly does not want to have that kind of developing fluid situation on the ground inside his own borders. yes that is true when it comes to israel within that $48.00 borders us where. but also it's clear now it's clear to everyone but us in years i'm not a divided people in the end of the day they are all as one important human rights organizations and israel bitset and called it the entire historic

palestine is living some form of a system of the audiotape or another meaning even though it's who are within israel those who are in general and the west bank and in gaza they are all subject to palestinian to israeli discrimination and the racism israeli policies of all sorts some of them legal and some of them violence so while the policy is it is a lot subject to discrimination through the legal means the confiscation of lands the budgetary. discrimination also so forth those in gaza of course are facing a whole the other kind of israel iraq and that is more of. an bombardment saw and that's why i would go and say the following i'm not going to talk about civil war but i'll tell you we are at the bus we are at that dramatic historic crossroads now as we speak because if israel indeed is planning to invade gaza

if the recording of the israeli reserves in the autumn if the accumulation of thanks and so on so for them that what their guys off part of some not then yeah well dream to reoccupy gaza we are talking about a major bloodshed we are talking about tens of thousands of casualties within a very short time and we are talking about the now people in all of historic palestine so if nothing else is wet dream is just to simply to remain in power and to do everything possible in order to prevent the opposition from forming a guy. and for him to stay in some form of emissions the government if that's what it is or if it is a strategic calculus this is meant to stop and end they have mass resistance from gaza and in gaza i think we are heading to work and major clash a major confrontation a major war against gaza that will lead to

a popular uprising in the rest of society and that will have regional and international implications and so this is a very important time and that's why back to your original question this is the time for those who consider themselves responsible international actors to weigh in against the israeli government because whether you like it whether you like him or not whether you appreciate what how much you can talk about whether you condemn my stepdaughter's him or not what you have but it is the fact is that how much is ready to stop. what it is now prime minister netanyahu our guide is determined to break and how nice it is he is determined to end and break the popular resistance in his jerusalem and he's the one who was unleashed the radical from that. jewish settlers and and radicals and he's actually the one who just shoved it out weeks ago so

a couple of months ago he is the one who united them organize them in or the ally with them to form a coalition government they are the ones who are today are running the streets of jerusalem running a series of high fives there that makes it to these marking palestinian houses that road in order to that ok nice is not the kind of thing that jews do moslems have suffered this kind of treatment in past times understood great to talk to us ever mowen bashar the senior political analyst will talk to later on i'm sure my one in the meantime thank you. ok let's wrap up some of the top stories for you india's hospitals have become so overwhelmed by coronavirus patients that some states are now administering a drug against the advice of the world health organization go and lots of our current have announced plans to use the anti parasitic drug in the mic to to protect against severe coated 19 infection the world health organization recently
