shaikh shara in occupied east jerusalem. the border security forces checkpoint it has been placed here at the entrance to the road which is been the scene of so many of the protests and so much of the tension here in occupied east jerusalem throughout the month of ramadan a car approached it it seems to do so at speed we've had witnesses to them at least telling us that the driver appeared to shout a lot of akbar god is great as he approached the checkpoint and it rammed drove straight into where the police were 6 of those officers were injured the police spokesman says 4 of them lightly 2 of them moderately but it was a very violent impact and it looked to be potentially quite serious to say the least to be to the well being of those police officers as for the driver himself he was shot dead in the moments after the attack obviously moments after the impact
10:10 pm
has been as i say the center of. a long simmering protest which is really gathered pace in the last few weeks particularly on the basis about 4 families who faced the imminent threat of forced removal from their homes it was part of the wider picture of tension throughout jerusalem which exploded on that last monday and now we have the violence which has been erupting throughout the area and on this day this afternoon that violence also felt very keenly here. the u.s. has told the u.n. security council it's ready to offer support if israel and hamas seek a cease fire but china has accused the biden ministration of blocking a joint statement on the crisis the u.s. is israel's most powerful ally and says a statement might hurt negotiations behind the scenes the actions of both of us and israel were condemned at the virtual session of council members calling for dialogue passed in the foreign minister joined the meeting as an observer and
10:11 pm
backed members of the council to think about their own children while considering how to protect palestinian children when you want breaks your children and grandchildren to right live think of our children and of how you can honor the earth killed and those still alive. think of what it feels to see your world crumbling down and not being able to protect them think of what it means to sleep not knowing which one of you will wake up remember that each time israel here is your party leader speak up its right to defend itself it is further going bald and the continual murdering entire families in their sleep israel's permanent representative to the un accused us of causing this latest escalation for political gain this is not the 1st time that hamas has
10:12 pm
indiscriminately fire deadly missiles that israeli civilians while hiding behind a 115 years to be yes but this time it's different it would completely premeditated but by hamas in order to gain political power it was all a part of their visions plan. well come on 6th the destruction of the state of israel and its also vying to date take power in the west bank and to replace the palestinian authority in order to gain political power it was all a part of their visions plan while hamas thinks the destruction of the state of israel and it's also vying to date take power in the west bank and to replace the palestinian authority that's causing christian salumi at the united nations
10:13 pm
christian what of the meeting achieve well this is the no statement was even issued on behalf of the council all though norway china and tunisia say they will continue to try on that front as they have been doing for the last week the united states has been stymieing any efforts for a unified position in the security council and we saw that continue somewhat today earlier in the week they were telling us that al jazeera and telling colleagues in the council that they wanted to give space to the highest level diplomatic efforts that were taking place behind the scenes towards deescalating the situation and reducing the violence of course we've only seen the violence increase and with that the united states relented and allowed this open meeting to take place not using
10:14 pm
their veto power however. again there was no unified view coming from the council at the end as the violence has continued the united states took the opportunity to call for an end to that cycle of violence. prolonging this current cycle of violence will only make these challenges more complex and difficult to saul and it will only put a negotiated 2 state solution further out of our reach so the current cycle of violence must end it is critical all parties return to working in good faith toward the vision of israel and palestinian state living side by side in peace she said that the israelis and palestinians equally have a right to live in safety and security she didn't call for
10:15 pm
a cease fire but she said that the americans were ready to support the other countries should they decide to move in that direction now as for all the other members of the security council and u.n. officials they have mostly been calling for an immediate end to the hostilities one that they say is needed lest the silent cycle of violence continue and spiral out of control they've warned that the one that they say is needed lest the silent cycle of violence continue and spiral out of control they've warned that this could have a destabilizing effect not only in israel and palestine but in the region as a whole kristensen amy thank you very much indeed. still to come this half hour the young victims of israel's bombardment of gaza where at least 50 children have now been killed. and violence in the town of mindanao to
