anthem a culture and power factor that warmth and hospitality make it feel like qatar airways places together. investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe want to see. an israeli airstrike on gaza flattens a building housing al-jazeera and other international media. hello again i'm peter dhabi you're watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here in doha also coming up no place is safe and israeli airstrike hits a refugee camp in gaza with one family losing 10 members. marching to mark neck but

the day palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes the establishment of israel. a global show of solidarity from iraq to britain to australia thousands march in support of palestinians under gnome's the israeli occupation. israel is continuing its bombardment of gaza and has destroyed an 11 story building housing international media. well that was the scene when the building took a direct hit the building housed residential apartments and

a number of media outlets including al-jazeera and the associated press it had been evacuated following a one hour warning from the israeli army israel's ground forces have continued to fire heavy artillery into the besieged enclave 140 palestinians have now been killed since the offensive began on monday well the answer is your immediate network has reacted to the bombing of its offices in gaza calling it a barbaric act in a statement al-jazeera says the bombing is a clear act to stop journalists from conducting this sacred duty to inform the world and report of vents on the ground it calls on all media and human rights institutions to join forces in denouncing this roofless bombing and to hold the government of israel accountable for deliberately targeting journalists. joins us live from gaza so the decision was taken the word came down a one hour warning the owner of the building did try to say we need more than one hour but the israeli army had other ideas

this is the case this is what has been happening with other earth didn't shell buildings also. we are in the mortar we are more lucky than other people who were. given 10 minutes some other they have not even been warned to leave. or to evacuate the building like what happened last night. and i'll shut that if you've got the whole family have been killed by. israeli. part of it. and give us a sense of what's going on across gaza right now. yes know 1 why we are talking we could. being. voted out a line in the north of. the gods are set up also we learned more people are

forced evacuated to leave their homes 'd and specifically those who live. on the border those that i'll to king from you on. until. the end of this. nation so this is from god think. of the. motor is it then show also buildings that have been evacuated and also they were bombed by those that are you liz on the other hand fighting groups. in response and spawns. of targeting mortars attention in addition to the last. go to the top and and i was shocked if they continued firing range rockets targeting. thought a good thing and of course as we heard talk of getting to live they voted for

motorists specially. to take. which is thought of you think you are bombarding the house of. one of the most senior political leaders of hamas. that's was the most significant let's say development today by the. in addition to the 6 days of continuous. shelling all over the gaza strip the minister of health in gaza say. 140 palestinians have been killed including 40 children in addition to 900 or even more. injured and. egypt. exceptionally. good day to receive. people from gaza they have even they have been also they're sending more medical

supplies to hospital. and in order to. treat. injured his doctor leave gaza towards egypt still about this time of the day and normally gazans are deployed this is the coast line this normally full of people. walking. trying to find a place for busy the evening. so this is one of the places normally. frequent especially in the evening as we could see almost there is a curfew 6 days people are staying calm they don't leave their homes except for. or for meeting essential needs for their families food. medicine etc and still able to fly missiles across the border into israel.

that's what is really contradicting what the israeli story the israelis are saying say that all these strikes are. destroying. the capacity is structure of the policy fighting groups but what we can see are around the clock every israeli. and palestinian fire fighting groups is that how about all islamic jihad or other minor groups they respond at the same scale of. fire when the israeli fire is more intensive palestinian factions or the past you know group they retaliate the same level of. of intensify out today was. a special day let's say well defined a lot of different but as of rockets on different places reaching tel aviv reaching. other important cities inside as well

so from what we. simple evaluation we can say that the fighting groups are still able to order the respond to fire the moral case even to increase the living of their fire once the israelis also increases or intensify their fire. thanks very much. reporting from gaza well this is all happening as we've been hearing next day that's when palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes for the establishment of israel protests to be taking place in the palestinian territory to mark was also known as the day of catastrophe demonstrations have been taking place in ramallah in the occupied west bank the palestinian red crescent since 29 palestinians have been injured by israeli security forces on saturday 17 of them have been shot with lines and you know him

a protest in in the occupied west bank where palestinians are confronting israeli forces. these palestinians most of them were born after the $990.00 after. the palestinian authority and they were promised on and on by their leaders that they're going to be having freedom and a state instead of all these people are seeing now is if you hear these tear gas bombs that are being fired by the israeli army we've even seen the israeli army fire live ammunition we have 3 palestinians were now in a critical condition more than 50 palestinians were injured according to medical sources and the majority of these people were hit by a lot of ammunition for these people here would tell you that there are. talks of having a state talks of having peace while instead what they see as on the ground is intensifying

illegal israeli settlement building intensifying israeli power and this really attacks which often when the israelis say that they are investigating these allegations or these attacks 90 more than 90 part of 5 percent of these attacks go on indicted so there is a sense here that the israelis are building in the occupied west bank having the upper hand and these people who are trying to fight that and the only way as many of them were telling us they don't arms don't have anything and one palestinian protester was even showing us how he was making a molotov cocktail by adding petrol and a piece of cloth dripping glue and then they would fire that and try and. towards the israeli soldiers it's kind of like small means they don't have much but they were telling us that if this is what we have to liberate palestine so this is what

we're going to do. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken with the u.s. president joe biden about the ongoing conflict for more of what was live to washington and my colleague patty cocaine what we think the conversation was all about them. well we don't know and i keep checking my phone because we most importantly don't have the readout from the white house and that is going to be very carefully worded and very carefully watched because throughout this we've seen president joe biden show his unwavering support for israel he said he didn't think they'd gone too far we do know what prime minister benjamin netanyahu says they talked about and they did talk about the bombing of the building housing al jazeera and also if the associated press and if parents according to netanyahu statement. he told the president the out involved were evacuated again israel saying without proof that they were targeting hamas in the building but importantly they have made those claims without any evidence whatsoever so we also know the president biden also

talked to palestinian president mahmoud abbas what they talked about again we don't have the readout yet from the white house so this is probably going to be the most closely watched statement coming from this administration since this began and will be looking to see if there's any sorts of movement after the bombing of international media outlets in gaza up until now passee the i guess the reaction from the blood in the strait and had been we have not seen a significant overreaction on the part of israel brackets israel has the rights to the right to self-defense close brackets might the events in gaza just in the past 4 or 5 have had to change the optics surrounding that stuns. it's quite possible we're already seeing israel that used to be a nonpartisan issue had the support of democrats and republicans in the united states that is changed under the leadership of benjamin netanyahu we are seeing

a lot of pressure from the more progressive side of the democratic party openly calling the president to do more we have a letter from 12 republican excuse me 12 democrat congressman members that are jewish say in this statement in a letter to the president he needs to do something about the police violence that provoked this incident and also about the illegal settlement so the more progressive side of the democratic party is appalled at joe biden stance so far his biggest issue right now is he said he was coming to office to bring back the idea that human rights mattered in foreign policy attacking the media is a is a war crime is well established it is a war crime so this is the president now is his rhetoric going to continue what he said he was going to do which is make democracy and human rights center to his policies so far he has been as i mentioned completely supportive of israel he is getting criticism from that on the on the left and they're expected to be protests

in many cities across the united states today in favor of palestine so we'll have to wait and see what the statement says but we'll look to see if there's any movement when so far there hasn't been all we've heard from so far from the white house is a tweet from jen psaki the spokesperson and she did not directly condemn israel just saying they need to make this a media protect in journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibilities so again not criticizing israel saying look you can't journalists but we'll be waiting to see what the president said and we'll know more as soon as that statement comes out we believe there were is there any particular reason why the u.s. would appear certainly from the middle east i guess to be fair to say this the warning signs. because there was trouble in shape at the beginning in the run up to and the beginning of ramadan you know israeli politics massive generalization on my part but israeli politics in the past 6 months is kind of tilted and pivoted to the

right is tilted to a more aggressive attitude towards gaza you know the signs were there and the united states doesn't have an ambassador to israel not yet i think that is more proof that what we've seen from the by administration early on in his term what his foreign policy priority priorities are going to be pulling u.s. troops out of afghanistan he's really signaled that his focus is not going to be on the middle east he really wanted to pivot and focus more on china and russia those are things that he's made pretty clear and it's the signs are right there when you don't have an ambassador to israel this is a president who really didn't want to focus there and now he is being forced to the president is in a bit of a difficult position obviously because if he comes out with a statement says i told israelis to stop and they don't then he looks weak on the world stage and to the american people so they expect this statement to be very carefully worded but really what the most important thing that everyone in the

conflict will be looking for is the exact words they use if he gets a firmer tone when it comes to israel because right now he's pretty much in public been giving them carte blanche now sources will tell you that behind the scenes might maybe take a tougher approach but what matters is what he says in public it sends the message to everyone in the region and so we're going to be watching that very closely in the coming hours indeed patsey many thanks particularly in their reporting live with the latest on that conversation between joe biden and benjamin netanyahu out of washington low in the shot is al-jazeera senior political analyst good to talk to you again so we don't have the state department right up on this conversation yet so we might get it in the coming few hours but is there a chance maybe that mr biden said look enough's enough. yes absolutely and i think practically speaking. offensive has run its course and if president biden has shown some patience over the last few

days for israel to finish the job as or where i think he gave israel ample time an annualised requested thing and it was noticed by everyone but he showed a certain indifference even though he said we're trying to do everything possible he did not do everything possible but clearly now a week later one should begin to see it is all it's by the end of this weekend that the israelis bought stock and the it's in israel and the united states percent this where this is stop otherwise it's going to have regional implications i know that you concur with this idea meaghan that for this to stop or for people to pause there has to be a level of t. on the palestinian streets and the israeli street as well but does there have to be something else does it have to be netanyahu can say to israeli jews we won and hamas can say to palestinians no actually we won both sides have to be given

the latitude or the choreography to claim a victory here. but even or not that's what happened each and every time the last 3 wars in 20082012 offensive as well as 2014 well that's exactly what we've had because clearly neither side could actually be honest with one side and say that said the other party could not say they lost and this is the thing by the way when they start assigning question is that it's been going on for 70 years there's been what like maybe 10 wars already between israel and the arabs and ever is around the us that is the finest thing is have never declared defeat and is and has always declared victory so that's has been the dick wage and i think what is not necessarily need now. peter and we have not talked about it and for good reason is that the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas and company need to step in. who is

this is an important factor 1st of all he is the president the chairman of the p.l.o. he is the intellect with the united states and to some degree israel or certainly didn't start a clear that ice 20 plus years and so it's very important for the syrian authorities to enter and to be that 3rd party that would be able to start taking the rain traum have mass or start building on what has happened and of course avoid you know that the horrible things that happened as well in order for this to go forward because and then the day without that but a senior authority anything that would have been next would be no more than a temporary ceasefire but wouldn't it be true to say mo when that on the one hand we've had this kind of looky reaction up to now from washington and from everyone else despite the calls for peace and a pause and a step back from this but a low key reaction from the palestinian authority might be all we're going to get

anyway despite the events of today moving forward because i mean the palestinian authority seems to always behave as if it's slightly distracted by something else. yes there you have the silence is deafening as it were and i think this problem in a certain sense and armada and the pursuit of. starting the scene and then something was indeed happening in jerusalem a sort of a popular uprising that was blessed by. both the thought of the in gaza and on law and somehow within within within hours the gaza stalled the scene as it were stalled the lights the limelighters and since then we've been having this escalation in gaza of course how much says it's done so in defense of iraq saw in defense of jerusalem but whether they liked it or not the spotlights has moved away from troops that has moved away from the popular uprising that's what's been think of in jerusalem and potentially in the west bank so here we are today no no

point 'd as it were crying over spilled milk or something has happened tragic lots of suffering especially i want to put a city has been now something that i get and what would that be it would have to be egyptians and americans and companies and others stepping in and try to mediate and it has to be that the pacino thought at the needs to start acting like it is the lead that of the palestinian people because it is the by the scene authority and mahmoud abbas is that chairman of the piano that even had mass recognizes as that of present that that of the palestinian people so something must give and the p.l.o. as well as the president authority needs to step in because as we've been saying that i said 7 days we're going to see a lot of suffering but once once the dust settles everyone is going to know that there is not a minute that a solution to this issue so what do you do clearly for the time being how mouse

does not have it does not have an end to look at that in washington be a does the pacino fota thing certain that there is no dialogue within is it and have. but there could be and it has been for a long time one between the policy and or part of the or the p.l.o. and israel so i think that needs to happen but. present that bass now that there is this movement in the west bank needs to move or it needs to show his face needs to put his feet down because i tell you what if he does not i think history is going to move him if the palestinian people don't because he is becoming more and more marginalized as this thing heats up more and more even the people in gaza want to know where it is read by the senior leadership where is that pakistan liberation organization mo and thank you very much mo and a shot of the talking to us here on al-jazeera let's talk now to gary pruitt sees the c.e.o. of the associated press news agency he joins us from their headquarters in new york

gary pruitt welcome to al-jazeera a difficult day for your staff in gaza can you just share with us your thoughts at this time yes we were shocked the sworn into good news that our building was being targeted we had a short warning we were able to get our folks out to avoid a loss of life but then the building was leveled by an israeli missile. an organization such as yours mr pruitt i'm sure you do safety training quasar military training to make sure that your staff when they're in a dangerous situation know how to react to that the central accusation from the israeli army i have to ask you this pointless to prove the central accusation from the israeli army is that either in the building or very very close to that building there were how mass assets what do you say to that. we've heard that

from the israelis i can tell you that we've been in that building for 50 about 15 years with our bureau we certainly had no sense that hamas was there we would like to see the evidence we're not sure whether hamas was there or not we don't know but i can tell you the impact will be that the world will know less about what's going on in gaza because that building was leveled it had great sightlines to show the world what was going on in gaza and that will be lost our brave staff was able to get out in time and to salvage most of our equipment so a.p. will continue to report the story it will impair our ability but we will continue to report to the world what is happening in gaza we had 12 journalists in that building but all got out safely can i just ask you the same question that i asked a media watch in a news program a couple of hours ago mr pruitt does this represent something of a guess

a point of no return a rubicon if you will for the israeli military and it's kind of the upticks maybe smack of desperation perhaps because if you want to stop the message getting out you destroy literally the equipment that the messengers the journalists would use yes we you know we're the associated press and we deal in facts so i can't speculate as to what the motivation was but i can tell you the impact will be to reduce the flow of information coming from gaza we'll continue to tell the story but this hurts our ability to do it you know stuff regrouping and rebuilding and beginning to do the jobs already. they are. we they were able to get out to safety they were able to get most of the equipment armored cars video cameras successor they went home. is any place safe right now in

gaza and but as safe as they can be and they're continuing to report the story but it was a shocking development and we are working with we're learning as much as we can from the israeli government we've engaged with the u.s. state department and most importantly we're keeping our staff safe and we're continuing to report this story for the world gary pruitt c.e.o. of the associated press thank you very much thank you very much israeli police have fought with a crowd of palestinian youngsters protesting peacefully in shit job in occupied east jerusalem they have been confrontations in the neighborhood there since last week over the potential forced evictions of 4 palestinian families from their homes to make way for jewish settlers israel's high court has since pursued the ruling but the protests continue. funerals of been held for 2 women and their 8 children killed in an israeli air strike early on saturday morning their home in gaza's

shati refugee camp was hit me in 139 palestinians have now been killed since the offensive began on monday israel's ground forces continue to fire heavy artillery into the gaza strip earlier we spoke to the gaza resident plight was raised by a u.s. congresswoman on thursday palestinian american house democrat rashid it's late read a tweet from busha you've been writing about life under heavy bombardment as she was speaking to us she had bombing in the background doesn't people who are living surviving. every single day. we wake up to reply to messages like i do you want. and. worse here every single night me saying that we are next. when i tweet it i wrote it while i was crying. only. i want to remember marijuana saying that. gazan people have 2

methods in dealing with such. such jurf ignites. they either but they're the whole members of the families in one room. so that either of the of the bumping happens the israeli warplanes strike the house they all go together. or are they use another method that they want every individual member in the front room so that if the massacre happened on thing the house one member would survive it's heartbreaking that the gazans of all even if 2 choices while they don't actually have more shelters or sometimes when we are houses bond and that the palestinian families want gazan families in that with no holes they go out on or

with schools. because they think it is saved. and you can hear me actually while we were speaking there is that sounds a little being done. well solidarity rallies are being held across the world including here in the country capital doha that scene that you're looking at right now that's from the the grand mosque looking towards the west bay area on the other side of the cornish in the main form's to the big easy shape that you would drive around if you were going to the main done time part of doha having flown in to how many international airport i think that's probably the 3rd or 4th night that there have been rallies in cata and palestinians of course there is a massive palestinian diaspora across the middle east as palestinians who self identify as being palestinian 1st before they identify as being catteries even though they have country passports the they say they describe themselves as being

palestinians they're engaged completely on social media and on news channels such as al jazeera english al-jazeera arabic as to what's going on in gaza and what's going on across the border from gaza into israel and from israel into gaza similar scenes repeated across the middle east as well in baghdad this time of the of the demonstrators gathering interior square to show support for palestinians in gaza some in the crowd were seen burning israeli flags that are going am has more now from the iraqi capital. i spoke to a number of protesters who said that they obviously feel that what's happening in the palestinian territories is a humanitarian issue that needs the response of the international community one man said i don't understand why the world is afraid of palestinian children i don't understand why the world doesn't understand that palestinians deserve dignity to live freely.
