several brutus that are taking to the streets of the occupied west bank to show support. in the besieged gaza strip against the israeli measures in occupied east jerusalem prove that there is the fear of having the words legal jewish settlement of where there is an israeli military. and palestinians preparing a lot of cocktails to confront the israeli army that has been using live ammunition to disperse the crowd. we're trying to defend our land we have no arms nothing on the whole i'm here because the highly destructive israeli air force is striking houses in gaza killing innocent people why these protests were sparked by the latest round of a skill ation protesters here tell us that they have more than enough reasons to protest. the ongoing settler attacks against them that they are often quite carried
5:06 am
out with impunity the diminishing hope of having a state or being free remember these people mostly are young they were born after the palestinian authority was established in the 1990 s. and they've theme the leaders on and on talk about them having a state and it only seeing the lands on which the state is supposed to be established shrinking i want to bring in david hardin who's a former u.s. aid assistant administrator he's also a u.s. democratic congressional candidate and he's joining us via skype from man and a charting thank you very much for being with us it's unclear what the scale of this latest conflict on gaza this latest israeli offensive on gaza is so far but even before this latest round of violence guys and was struggling to live i mean did the infrastructure in the territory was extremely poor people struggling with
5:07 am
power cuts and so on what will they be facing after this latest round of violence well it's true that there is a lost generation in gaza right now and of. despair and grievances and it's a good call life for the situation right now can us go out of control in a very dangerous way very immediately and my deepest concern would be if the our electricity lines go down so that the power plant is strong or if the lectures the lines go down what we would have is almost an immediate crisis with water and sanitation particularly internally displaced people who need to protect and spaces in either the u.n. schools or clinics right in the previous conflicts what sort of aid was needed immediately on the ground and what sort of aid was provided. so again the most immediate situation is if power goes down and there is no water
5:08 am
and sanitation that could create massive risk of public health catastrophes we can hold a little bit on on food or or even. or but you need the water and sanitation and shelter by the way also there needs to be a time for a humanitarian pause and which people can resupply restock and once it's going to run to the hospital and people can get out can get out right. i mean right now what we're seeing is israeli airstrikes targeting not just you know what they consider to be hamas targets but also places like refugee camps where there is a strong concentration of civilians i mean guys as a very densely populated area and i imagine that the previous conflicts have had
5:09 am
already cost the steps of sense of damage talk to us about some of this long term damage that's done not just on the infrastructure but on people's lives in my view goods. so the 1st thing we don't know now is how long this conflict will last so if it ended right now then people will rebound fairly quickly and get on with their lives but if this drags out for days and weeks and months it could be very catastrophic and i do want to emphasize that what happens in these situations is that people flee to areas that they think are safe harbors and those usually are u.n. facilities and they and they will be shocked sure of that but getting water and protection and shelter into those places is very difficult but the challenge here now which is different from 2014 and the other wars with gaza is that i very doubtful that the international community will pony up the resources to help rebuild say what you
5:10 am
will about 24 king there was a commitment to put in the money and there was an effort to begin reconstruction but that cost billions of dollars and it was it was marginally effective in this situation now this could be very very dangerous and could drag on for a long time and this. reduction in funding a cut in aid especially from the u.s. under the previous administration in funding for palestinians in gaza funding as well as the u.n. relief agency what impact is that going to have. to drive in that assertion is restart of the assistance and so i think that that will turn on rather quickly how the armors in the region he knows the situation both from a humanitarian and assistance perspective as well as a political security perspective so i'm confident that u.s. money can come back in the mix what i'm not confident about is the commitment more
5:11 am
broadly among the international community to help rebuild and stabilize gaza going forward mr hardin thank you very much for talking to a state heart and he's a former u.s. aid assistant administrator joining us as a man and we appreciate your time thank you. here from here is harry fawcett who is in the share neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem as a district where palestinians are threatened with losing their homes in israeli settlers he says internal conflicts are escalating their occupied east jerusalem outside of israel has also been a scene in recent days of pretty clear instances of racial violence there was a jewish person attacked by a palestinian group close to the city of the old city the other day and earlier here of course is a conference of issues that this ongoing protest but also. ethnic
5:12 am
violence going on with palestinians and jewish settlers facing off around a jewish building in a neighborhood just a little way away from here with 2 of 4 of the occupants of the place brandishing weapons as they threw stones at people from outside who were themselves throwing stones and letting off fireworks into the area those guns were used and one palestinian person was injured as a result of that exchange before the police went in and removed the weapons there have also been other developments elsewhere in israel itself where we've seen. the arrest of a senior muslim cleric a senior member of the islamic movement by the security service the shin bet accompanying that and after that very major disturbances in the palestinian israeli town of call for qana where we've seen streets filled with with protesters moving around and a large number of injuries we've heard from
5:13 am
a doctor that there have been dozens of injuries in that incident so as well as talking about this the prime minister benjamin netanyahu talking about rather about the situation in gaza he's also been talking again about this issue he's been talking about groups of arabs who are attacking jews just for being jews that's correct that has been happening he didn't talk at all in this instance at least about the reverse of the of that issue and he's promising an extremely severe crackdown really telling police that they need to do whatever they can to to try to quell this violence. a rocket fired from the gaza strip has hit a building in start in southern israel emergency services say the apartment damage on the 64 had 3 occupants who were in a protected room and were not harmed a factory in the port of ashdod was also hit causing a fire there were no casualties in this incident either. still ahead on al-jazeera

gaza with another 8 people killed in an airstrike targeting a refugee camp at least 137 honestly and including 30 children have been killed since the israeli offensive began on monday 11 palestinians were killed during protests that swept across the occupied west bank on friday clashes between israeli police and palestinian demonstrators continued into the night in occupied east jerusalem funerals have been held for some of those killed during those earlier protests across the occupied west bank more rallies are expected on saturday by his white house correspondent kimberly how on the u.s. political reaction to the israel palestine conflict in particular what the white house press secretary jen psaki as had to say. she is continuing to do some cleanup on the comments by the u.s. president joe biden on thursday where he stated that the response by israel is in his view not significant and for
5:18 am
a 2nd day agent psaki found herself having to address those comments by the president saying that in no way was this a minimizing loss of life that in fact the united states is working very hard and mourns the loss of every life whether palestinian or israeli take a listen to what she had to say israel has the right to self-defense our focus remains on continuing to use every lever at our disposal to deescalate the situation on the ground i think it's also important to remind people a mosque is a terrorist organization hamas does not represent the views the families of the people who are suffering all of the palestinian people who are suffering as a result of this violence on but there is no justification for 1500 rockets coming from hamas so the argument being made by the white house press secretary as you heard there that she doesn't believe there's any justification for any firing of
5:19 am
rockets what the white house is being accused of not just in the united states but around the world is being very selective about the starting point and once again completely ignoring many of the facts on the ground including those forced evictions of many palestinian families from occupied east jerusalem. demonstrations in support of palestinians are happening around the world hundreds of people held a rally in southern lebanon near the border with israel on friday one person dies they were joined by religious leaders who said their congregations to united with the people of palestine these were the scenes in berlin germany where hundreds of protesters condemned these really attacks the government's meanwhile says it supports israel and has promised to increase protection of jewish institutions. on the 2nd day of the muslim holiday thousands of people at prayers in bangladesh
