6:05 pm
this issue. many of them haven't been speaking out individually. those who are in the security council have been speaking out in the counsel, but this is the 1st time that this international body has gathered since the most recent escalation and violence. and we are hearing certain themes repeat themselves . as i said, 1st and foremost, the call for an immediate cease fire also a focus on the humanitarian situation and civilian casualties. the secretary general antonio good terrace, described what's happening in gaza as hell on earth for children. he described a tax on journalist as extremely concerning and he said that 1st and foremost, civilians must be protected. again. these are beams that have been echoed by many of the speakers here. also focus on international law in some of the underlying
6:06 pm
issues that have brought the conflict to this point. jordan, foreign minister, deputy prime minister speaking recently talked about occupation being the source of all evil here. an attempt to focus on the plate of palestinians and particularly in gods. a recent escalations from the forcible removal of people from their homes in the threat of forcible removal of people. palestinians from their homes in east jerusalem, which led to an increase intentions attacks on holy sites in east jerusalem and so on. so right now what we are hearing is an attempt to amplify the cause for a cease fire to put pressure on israel and moss, but also on the united states, which has been seen as kind of holding back in international response to the crisis . many thanks back, kristen salumi that for us at the united nations. we will return to the united
6:07 pm
nations. when we hear the us ambassador to the un speak a bit later as talk to somebody about the lamb now, who is a palestinian journalist living in gaza. each one's life from the dummy rocket attacks. continue to pound, garza bring us up to date. what is the latest where you all the latest we have just here, the big exclusion and we have here also jet fighters. we have no details about the last one. it has targeting exactly. and bombing continues across the got the 3 bits we should in. can you when it's that off and my guys the bit left. yeah. like can on or ever strike different houses. houses that have been got to get in and the left is the faith that at that was against which were there. 2 people have been killed on the same place with the english school where
6:08 pm
in not of them actually, and now we are in the city next to the hit, the quarter of the united nations and behind us a building which has been destroyed, which hosted the bookstore the stationary and pricked house while we are coming from the north of gaz, i have seen a ques, or pillars of people are standing waiting for food supplies from andrea chet at the n g or the ending in a long line waiting for the food supply. i asked them, where are you from? they actually, it was in japan, you can, but they said they are from baton on from, from a village which means that they are from that you and the school is a whole are hosting of tens of thousands of people place people who left their houses and came to pick them up and at the school during driving between
6:09 pm
the gaza. i have seen that the infrastructure is strongly hit. i mean i have seen water. bible exploded. that's why there is a shortage of water in the areas of the trip. i have seen sea which is broadening investor each, which means that that is maybe it is environmental or health problem. and of course the electric power shortage continues in my house. 15 hours i lived last night, which affect the kids and my, my, my, my work anyway. one of the main point, also people, it's all in inside their house. they are trying to add that pace with the new style of life. and you know what i decide which means that they are going to either in their food. i mean, they are depending on can food or 15 things like this or
6:10 pm
pass and the shortage of water that she's them to go to other well the whole sales or donate was for a free and also i had been a group of kids and women trying to fill out a bit another point which is i think it's going to be inside the school at the door of the gates of one of you on school. i have a family who was sending the gate the questioning whether to to leave or not to leave. that's the question. then asking themselves, shall they leave the shelter and go back to the, to the homes which is risky, or to stay inside the ship, which is also risky because of the coffee line teen the danger of 19. then these
6:11 pm
are of the cleaning of the social social properties inside. so they are in a dial him. this is in some detail of that development being gaza. tommy, thank you so me. so i'm a palestinian genest living in garza describing a very, very difficult situation for the people that let's return now to the un general assembly because we had from the palestinian foreign minister just a little earlier. he had this message for the international community. for the an o n, i knew how much it was time i'd only it's high time international community to shoulder its responsibility to envy 3 of the occupation of our land, of our holy sight of our present and our future. it's high time. take practical measures to provide international protection to the palestinian people until they can practice their right to self determination. we urge you to honor your
6:12 pm
commitments under international law, including not to acknowledge the illegal status created by israeli procedures and policies unoccupied. palestine including in east jerusalem, we call upon you not to provide any assistance or support and to entrench and maintain the current status. me call upon you differentiate between israel, the occupying power and the occupied territories. and to ensure accountability has go over now to ramallah in the occupied west bank and hold the bell hamid. what a good to see you. i have a question for you. i just want your in ramallah, i wonder how much people that really pay attention to what is going on at the united nations. we just heard from the palestinian and boston, do they actually think any anything happening that could make a difference to what's happening to their lives? well, the short answer would be no. i mean, they have been through this many, many times before. mean,
6:13 pm
if you look at how many resolutions were passed since 94888 of them, none of that have changed anything for the palestinians, except that life has become worse and worse. and the occupation has expanded further and further. if you look just behind me here in central rama the streets are busing, people are going about their own lives. and in the past i have asked many times, are you listening? are you following what's happening? i do un and they said they didn't trust anyone any more. basically, really the feeling among the common palestinian on the street specially do youth. those who were born after all, those who are taught to believe in peace and those who are deeply disappointed by what's happening and those who are fighting at the moment on those front lines on those fiction points between these really are me and or, you know, the border between the occupied with bag and israel. those those you don't believe
6:14 pm
in anything any more. they actually think many of them say that the fighting should go on at this stage because the politics have completely failed them. so it is a very difficult situation. they wouldn't be listening to what's happening now. they would want, you know, they would listen if someone comes in with some firm hard a piece of news. i would say something that really changes something underground. they need to see that with their own eyes. they need to believe in it for them to start believing again that peaceful needs would lead anywhere do moment specially if we look at all what happened over the trump administration. when he will actually announce that the jerusalem was the capital of israel. when he moved busy, when the goal and house hides were, i makes all of that has a good more and more palestinians and then all what happen during the month of
6:15 pm
ramadan israeli forces entering l x. i'm also one of the holiest knights for muslims of the continuous harassing of the youth, telling them to go away not to stand in front of the mask escape, which is basically an area where they just hang around. the expansion of these illegal settlements, which really flourished under the trump administration. now the threat and the expulsion of those families in chef is a ra. all of that is filing up and the anger. i mean, we say that over and over again. but each time we've actually reaches new hives, so i do moment, you have 2 issues here that are very important. football is senior. what's going on and what they see is basically random killing of gods and civilians. they watch online, they watch on tv, these buildings collapsing to the ground, the children screaming in fear. they see all of that. and then they also,
6:16 pm
that is the real, the belief routed among palestinians. that at the moment, israel's main aim is to really expel them as much as possible from occupied easter. was that in which they look at as the future capital of their state. so all of them, unless they get something concrete underground that changes the optics of all of that. anything that's happening in the us, it's something that's happening and that doesn't concern them money. thanks for that hold. i need that for us in ramallah. let's go to west jerusalem now and speak to him. ron conn. enron. there's been a lot of speculation over the last few days about the possibility of a c spot si fi. what are you hearing about it? well, i'm hearing that there might be a sci fi there might not be a sci fi. basically there is confused situation over the last few days. that has been a number of statements being put out by
6:17 pm
a number of different players within this complex itself. how math the very beginning of the conflict, said they, if there was going to be any, see why it would have to involve occupied east jerusalem. but now they've taken a much harder line. they said anything any. see why that takes place must involve garza and gaza alone. however, what we're hearing from these ready side is a bit more subdued. these really media seems to get very excited things pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to actually bring together a c, y. and then he comes out with complete defiance when it comes to any talk, obviously he says we, this is a deterrent. and if necessary we can conquer how math and gaza. now, there is a meeting, a very key meeting, the security cabinet, which is shared by the catholic a problem is benjamin that you'd be speaking to various members of his security cabinet. it's that that meeting which takes place in about
6:18 pm
a 45 minute time. we think that this any potential ceasefire will be discussed, but he'll also have to have meetings with the army with them, with the intelligence agencies, with foreign intelligence agencies, and then any decision to agree to a sci fi has taken, but we're not going to know this is precedent, this is historical president, we normally don't hear what the results of those security cabinet meetings are. now clearly, whilst all of this is going on, there is diplomatic movement in west treutlen. the german foreign minister has turned up with another, with a number of other foreign ministers. they have been visiting sites where rockets have landed. the foreign ministry here in is saying that it's a visit of a solidarity, which is unusual language. but clearly, at the time of conflicts, something a message that they want to kind of push forward. what does that mean?
6:19 pm
all they discussing a ceasefire? well, more than likely that's going to be the main thing on everybody's mind. he heard, we've also got the united nations general assembly going on a very special session going on, right. they had my colleague christine. so then we talk about that the, the governments of israel a traditional, very good, ignoring the united nation, somewhat ha resolutions i think involving israel and old palestine. none of them have been paid, been paid much attention to by the success. it is ready government, in fact, benjamin netanyahu is often said that the united nations is most anti, is ready body on the planet. they simply don't pay any attention to those, but they do pay attention to the united states of america. and president joe biden has a number of phone calls. reiterate reiterated to the prime minister, the sci fi needs to take place, but the language he's used has cause some concern amongst politics. watch his head because he's used the words de escalation on the path to a cease fire for
6:20 pm
a lot of people that's too soft for others. it's actually a green light netanyahu to continue this for as long as he possibly thinks he can either get away with or he does eyes and iran in terms of the rockets themselves. the conflict itself. rock as into israel from palestine. is that still ongoing today? yeah, absolutely. we've seen rockets coming in to ask a lot stored into bear season, but it also seem that heavy bombardment continue from land and sea from ro we've been talking about this for last few days, but it's worth just mentioning right now. very quickly. aid phil isn't going through the currying solemn checkpoint. that's one of the checkpoints through the barrier into gaza. these really say they call the killed the checkpoint. that was a motor attack landed that 2 days ago, which actually injured and israeli soldiers,
6:21 pm
the united nations, are clearly negotiating very hard to try and get by a didn't. but it's simply not going it. and so until there is a ceasefire is unlikely about a will go in. so it's not just these really the palestinians who are hopeful that there may be a sci fi. it's also the, the accusations. but when i say these readings and the palestinians, i actually don't mean the government or the political parties within the gaza strip itself their negotiations. they know whether they'll be a sci fi in the coming days. i'm just talking about ordinary people who are living in those areas, both sides of the barrier of god who boston told us and of the media that they want either things to end or these ready. so i certainly am asked to be destroyed many thanks for that update. and ron con, that for us in with jerusalem, while in washington, us, president joe biden is on the increasing pressure in congress over planned $735000000.00 weapon sale to israel sen. bernie saunders has
6:22 pm
introduced a resolution aimed at blocking it, but it's unlikely to get the 51 votes needed to pass in congress. similar efforts what was made by progressive and left leaning democrats in the house. as go live to our white house correspondent kennedy hall kit. so president biden has been trying to ratchet up the pressure on israel. but so far it doesn't seem like israel is listening doesn't appear. so what is the latest coming out from the us today when it comes to this conflict? well, we are waiting to hear from the white house press secretary, there is no new read out as of yet, but you're right. this is a test of the israeli us relationship, given the fact that well, the us present has not called for a cease fire. he has ratcheted up the pressure and there was even some hope here in washington for a brief period of time that s c,
6:23 pm
fire might be imminent. but with the latest fate of violence, those holds rapidly fading. again, this is a task for the u. s. israel relationship, given the fact that the united states has for years not only funded militarily in the tune of billions of dollars, but also defended israel's right to defend itself. but the ground is shifting and washington is shifting in public opinion here in the united states. and also in the u. s. congress. you mentioned that legislation that is b were introduced by sen bernie sanders, that he feels that there should at least be a debate about the latest shipment of precision guided munitions, mattoon of 735000000 dollars. that there should least be some discussion about this in congress, and this follows the very loud opposition to the weapons sales that are occurring in the house of representatives. now, as you pointed out, it's unclear it,
6:24 pm
it doesn't look like this legislation will be anything more than symbolic. but what it does is it exercises congress as leverage and might in try to at least delay this shipment. and the other thing to point out here, and there's a point that was made by sen, bernie sanders, when he talks about this legislation and also in the house of representatives, they believe palestinian lives matter. why does that phrase matter? well, because you hear it a lot when it applies in the united states, black lives matter, asian lives matter. and in fact, the us president today will be appearing with vice president cobbler harris, to talk about anti asian, or rather, anti, or hate crimes legislation that pertains to cobit 19 and the targeting of asian americans. as so many people are scratching their heads and thinking, it's somewhat ironic that this is a white house that is bouncing the end of all discrimination when it comes to those living in the united states. but then seems to be turning
6:25 pm
a blind eye and actually funding it when it comes to palestinian. so there could be some uncomfortable questions. asking about that in the coming hours, not just the white house press. secretary has her briefing in the short few moments from now, but also when the us president vice president, appear in the east room of the white house in the coming hours money. thanks for that can be hawkins speaking to us from the white house as get some more analysis on this, we're joined by robert. sorry. he is a senior advisor at the european institute of peace and a former un special coordinator for the middle east peace process. he joins us from the netherlands, many thanks for joining us on al jazeera. we heard from kimberly that the u. s. has enormous leverage of, of israel yet the biden administration. unwilling to use it. why is that? well, let me tell you 1st that i'm looking to in a movie of course, which i've seen before, 3 times between the last war in 2014,
6:26 pm
i will still and also engaged for the united nations. and i'm afraid i also know the end of this, of this movie at some point the fighting will stop and that is more decided on the israeli side, always than on other sites. there is pressure on net and you know, i feel that it is also increasing. i heard there are also some european ministers now in terms of thief in the region. but you know, i am really shocked to see this happening again. as i told you, i have been involved, but he went 3 times and i still remember, but my 2nd to general talk me in 2014. when finally, after 6 weeks, that war stopped. he asked me, robert, are we going to rebuild garza to see it destroyed yet again? and yet again, what is happening at these days? what does this mean afterwards? are we now going to we, we build guys up for the 4th time,
6:27 pm
only to see it again at some point in the future that being destroyed. if the root causes of this conflict and not address at the same time, we need to sustain not only stop of the fighting, of course, i hope it happens. now, it should happen as soon as possible, but we also need a more sustainable fire if we want something to be done and to and what and seat is not happening yet. again, i believe you are a historian. i was listening to an interview by a famous israeli historian, tom said give, and he said he was very pessimistic about the future. he said this conflict couldn't be solved and it could only be managed. do you think that's true? well, i'm not a historian by the way, but i have been involved for a long time with this conflict and i am familiar also with the views of i'm sick of well, yes, i think we what we have to where to realize is that the,
6:28 pm
the sites in particular, decides, fighting now on the one hand and on the other. if you look, if you think about it, they are as far apart as you can almost conceive in terms of finding a solution for it before the conflict. the 2 state solution which is still the mantra of the international community as the only reasonable outcome of the conflict. but what have we seen and i was myself also involved in for you in in this what we have seen is that also train has been derailed already or for a long time ago. and, but i will be able to still reach the 2 state solution station. i doubt it. i think i was one of the 1st in my briefings also to the security council back in 2010, wanting to counsel that the parties didn't seem to move any more in the direction of the 2 state solution than that instead of one state reality is emergent proper,
6:29 pm
