9:02 pm
hamas on its allied factions. and the world is watching. the fighting must stop immediately, guarantees. secretary general antonia good terrorist is among several speakers at a un general assembly calling for the fire. the palestinian foreign minister accused israel of genocide, while israel equated the actions of hamas with those of the nazis. and i still, here are some of the highlights of that meeting. and the list about 1155. she her to those who say that israel has the right to defend itself. what right to you exactly, talking about what israel is, the colonization power. it is occupying allen, it is persecuting a whole people. and i would like to ask you, what would you do if your territory is occupied if your people were displaced? if your people were killed, detained, arrested, and persecuted. how can an occupying power have the right to defend itself when the
9:03 pm
whole people under occupation is deprived of the very same rights? these right wants to see fire, but only after significantly degrading how much of terror machine we are looking for a cure and not a band aid. and yet, you have once again been calling on israel to exercise restraint when facing 100 of indiscriminate attacks. every day, every day the united states has had more than 60 diplomatic meetings at the highest levels, including at least 5 by president biden, in his most recent call with prime minister netanyahu yesterday. president biden communicated that we continue to stand by israel's right to defend itself. that we believe is role is now in a position to begin winding down the conflict. and we expect a significant de escalation to begin. in the hours and days ahead,
9:04 pm
we will continue to relentlessly push for peace. wide. now to kristen salumi at the united nations, kristen some strong words there from all this because so far, the question is, what do we actually expect to emerge from this meeting? yes, so this meeting was called in an attempt to amplify calls for an immediate cease fire in the conflict in the middle east and we had some $95.00 speakers signed up for today's event. the speeches are ongoing. we had ministerial level government officials coming from around the world about a dozen of them issuing this strong call for a cease fire. but all efforts had a formal statement so far have come to not those efforts are ongoing, both at the general assembly where they have just begun in the wake of
9:05 pm
a lack of response from the security council. in the security council, though, efforts are also on going to get some form of the unified outcome presented. and just a short time ago, we heard from the french deputy ambassador to the united nations who talked about france's efforts and express some of the frustrations that we've been hearing from other council members that the international community hasn't been able to speak with one voice. and back of the laws that are put forward by this institution and passed agreements in the middle east. and in particular, in this situation in the palestinian territories. this made us resolution from france. as the ambassador, the deputy ambassador spelled out is pretty basic. she said the main issues are demanding this immediate cessation of hostilities and respect for humanitarian law and protection of civilians. these are the things that all countries claim to support, including the united states,
9:06 pm
which recently has also said that it's time to de escalate the violence. but the problem is that the united states does not want to put that in a formal statement and just been saying that the best way to accomplish a cease fire is through diplomacy, which is ongoing and defended. country defended himself, ambassador linda thomas greenfield from the united states, talked about all that the united states have been doing behind the scenes to reach that end. but clearly for a number of nations here, the words aren't enough. they want stronger action. and this general assembly still continuing was still expected to hear from a number of other members. what is likely to be the outcome of this at the end of the day? well i think what the united nations is hoping for is more of
9:07 pm
a focus on the humanitarian crisis that is quickly unfolding the fact that a 3rd of the palestinian victims have been women and children. that power is out in much of gaza, that 50 shelters, schools that service shelters have been destroyed. medical facilities have been attacked and also organization or buildings, housing journalists, and media organizations have also been attack. so the immediate focus is on the most basic humanitarian needs in the area, access for humanitarians and un workers to get in and serve those needs, is very high on everyone's agenda. but also there's the realization that unless the bigger issues of palestinians, right to their own land of a 2 state solution are reached,
9:08 pm
that this conflict is likely to continue in some form for years to come. and a big warning that we're hearing from a lot of the speakers and particularly un officials and, and regional players, is that this could escalate and for extremis for violence, not just in israel, but around the region. many thanks for that kristin salumi their 1st at the united nations while in gaza, israeli fighter jets are continuing to cause more destruction and death over the past few hours. 7 move bombings causing this massive blaze. a factory earlier to crowded refugee camps home to tens of thousands of people came on the attack. so far. 233 palestinians, including 65 children, have been killed india's really offensive, which began just last week. meanwhile,
9:09 pm
palestinian groups, hamas on its allied factions have also stepped up their rocket attacks against towns and cities in israel. this is basheba in the south where several people have been injured. rockets were fired towards ask alon causing some damage there. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been meeting his top security officials to discuss the ongoing military escalation in gaza. and the possibility of a ceasefire. iran calling is standing by for us in west jerusalem. but 1st let's get the picture in garza. let's talk to semi abu salon, who is a palestinian john this bed. and what is the various latest where you are? me? yes. now we are in location and not far from the sea, and we are near the shore of the see. we have here to some bombings from marine and they have to raising or anything of the palestinian green. it's towards
9:10 pm
israel and minutes ago and where it gets over the island, which we have seen and here, lots of explosions, light among, among darkness. and also that is, is still raising of flame of one of the factories, a problem being geared towards vac factory, east of gaza. this leads us to say that bombing by ken on, continues there by is the can on. and the factory has been blamed and said to it by the cannon. according to they took 30, the civil defense. they said that the fire fight that it's flies to fire the fire in the factory. but that is the tad and get it that that the team, the team over fighting fire. that's why the data direct cold throughout me the cold
9:11 pm
for pressurizing days in the army to stop getting it skew team. it's good teams working 247 in guys for fixing fixing electric work and water need work and the needs and don't need and see what you need to work . this bombing, which continues mainly at north and east in part of garza pushing more and more to be. i mean that the when, when we talk about people who live then how the people to which it houses and try to get other people beside them. but now the bombing become closer and closer. that's why some people are more and more caving so far. 454-4000 people, left 44000 people in their homes and thing and she and other thousands are to stay
9:12 pm
in their houses over there and, and did it, and their friends bombing, the bombing plum being factory is not the only one according to that data to it and, and that's the safety of businessmen. they say that lots of factors in this industrial guys were damaged the fact that it's with damages and nobody could live that area for fixing or for inspecting their materials. we could go on. so there is another sponge factor, also flamed and turned into an i bill bombing by that i. e. d. army also there was going to cut your store. so what i'm going to control on tools on a flame and beside the hundreds of stars,
9:13 pm
according to that govern government community. here in the bid was huge destruction in buildings and installations, at least 1800 is it. then she had units where completely, completely damaged. that's why there is more and more pressure on people, another raising and the people are raising their, their eyes into the sky, looking for haul king, for, for an iraq. it is coming from here. oh here. which reflects their, their fear when, when the night is coming to got the living in more fear, people still waiting. i'm following up according to them. if one on up and he was about to, to be able to attend to their, to their houses. they fled, some people know that velez and fancy houses, according to their description,
9:14 pm
to live in a class room and in a school. another point do we have mentioned that because of that kind of getting families, not individual families, according to municipal health, 19 families with targeted gifted and being killed. the members were killed that we have just the english mit, a man who decide to change and choose been with his brother. he has the 4 children and his his brother has 4 children and he gave 2 over his children to his brother. and his brother gave him 2 of his gender and a boy, and again why it is happening. because according to him, he said that if there is a, the ottoman hit, our house the whole time, you will not die. we wouldn't have some of them alive. and vice versa,
9:15 pm
if that is really odd, hit the house of his for his brother. he would guarantee that there is some member do have that family that are alive. this is this, this incident is not the only one. according to him, it is repeated with a super beatle people, but he's the only one who declared at about about this about this act on his facebook and the children expressed that fear the night. in addition, the tears of their life that ti, the details of the daily life of the, those people who are suffering and enact something, for example, some women into instead of they are looking for something. maybe other people are not looking for friends on. but they said the need for powder amount for them, for the killed, for they appears to being out of food. the most important point they are suffering
9:16 pm
from is lack of water. that's why women with fish and need to, to make show for the kids or for themselves. that is not water in the schools. not all of that would. i'm talking about the agenda language and have visited and the school. that's why they would use twilight. that's why lots of, when lots of people in the shoes are thinking to go back to their homes in at its key areas. that's why they are in a dying. we cannot decide whether to go back to their homes and at, in, at his area to stay in and miserable situation. and that is also because of coffee or any other diseases because of lack of cleaning and ad semi i said i'm describing some of the horrific choices that people in
9:17 pm
gaza have been forced to make a very dire situation there as go live to west jerusalem. now and im ron conn, iran fest, i want to ask you whether you have any updates because we were hearing that from sammy about the di, humanitarian needs of many of the people that need for water need for powdered milk . for babies you've been covering the aid, arriving into gaza. is there any updates on any of that being being allowed into garza? well, that has the right mailing. i have been covering the arising into goes except i haven't because it didn't arrive into gaza. the you and the united nations was still negotiating with these really orthography, what those negotiations are ongoing right now. i don't know,
9:18 pm
but they would certainly go on for the last 24 hours. they were trying to get that much needed aid into gaza. now, as i've always been saying, i've lost 2436 hours is that this aid is merely a drop in the ocean. it's not even enough to meet the needs of say, 5 percent of, of the people. but it's a crucial breakthrough if they were able to get it through. but they, what now, what does this mean for any potential sci fi? we've been talking about sci fi quite lot over the last 24 hours. it was a big for, or in the is ready media just 2 days ago saying, 36 i am the sci fi would take place was one now could help us ny, nearly. and there is no si, fi is a security cabinet meeting though there is going on this chair by the catholic private mister benjamin netanyahu. if any sci fi is to be negotiated, that's where they're going to be negotiating it. not with have asked but between themselves, whether they go to accept a master's demands, what, any shape, sorry,
9:19 pm
a sci fi might look like and when it might come into effect. however, we were hearing that from the united nations ambassador, from israel, with very strong language about how mass now is his position reflective of the government spaces? certainly officially. yes, absolutely. it is. they do consider mass to be a terrorist organization. but does that have an impact on what netanyahu decides to do next? yes, probably. but it also means that there is this kind of real politic that that needs to do because he is under pressure internationally. now, the israel does tend to ignore anything you and says that, you know, who's open critic of the near you and say, is one of the most anti is ready institutions on the planet. however, there is the americans now he does listen to the americans. he's had a very friendly administration, the last 4 years, a with a president, donald trump,
9:20 pm
who gave him pretty much a blank check and told him he could do anything one including leaving me or send the fee to jerusalem, which the americans did. however, now, when president joe biden has that change, will present jo, bottom is still pretty pro israeli news public statements. however, he has said, and people have taken the statement in 2 different ways. yes, that we need de escalation on the way to on the route to a sci fi. now, the 1st way people are taking it is actually that's just a black check for prime minister benjamin netanyahu to continue this for as long as he wants to know from timing. keep saying it has the right to defend yourself. again, not a strong statement, but it's gonna force them to get into a c y other than saying, actually there is this strong language they are calling for sci fi. and there's lots of this kind of negotiations going on. apparently plan. we'll hear a miss from the us sources. president obama has been on the phone with benjamin
9:21 pm
netanyahu at least 4 times. whether there'll be another phone call tonight, after the security cabinet meeting, we don't know is likely that there be some sort of communication between them both . but whether they'll be a ceasefire, we don't know that remains to be seen. hey mon calling for us from west jerusalem. thank you for now. meanwhile, in israel palestinian israelis have called for a general strike on a day of morning in the city of farm. hundreds of people have gathered for the funeral of a 17 year old protest killed by israeli security forces. mohammed one died from his injuries after being shot in the head by under cover offices, israeli media reports he was sitting in a car with his friends at the time. let's get more on the story. raji ciriani is the director of the palestinian center for human rights. he lives

9:26 pm
and try to do some, but very it got being what's going on because one of their missions, i mean to, to not to make killing and destruction what a crime, crime against humanity going on. but to have been if the security council said or not acting according to chapter 7 or the security council. but even today, statement condemning what's going on due to the legal, political immunity and the b 2 provided by us to the right. and then i mean, it's time for me to be in the time for you and buddy to move it up the door getting to be there and still doing what a crime. this is what it cost to live there at the time that they see.

9:28 pm
including the egyptians and bringing an end to the conflict and they have an important role to play and influencing her mouth. hence, the president had a conversation with him this morning. i expect to have a read out shortly as go live to whitehouse. corresponding kennedy hawk at egypt. of course, heavily involved in trying to bring about a ceasefire. what more did we learn from the u. s. press secretary. egypt along with jordan and to cut are all channels the white house police have a good opportunity to communicate to hamas, to de escalate the rockets into israel. and with respect to the israeli military campaign, the white house now saying that it is time to bring an end to this conflict that the objective of this white house is to work towards the sea fire. and that she believes in the words of the white house press secretary as the feeling of the binding of a distraction is, is that israel has achieved its significant military objective. now in terms of,
9:29 pm
if the fire doesn't happen, the white house, specifically the press secretary would not say if there would be any sort of consequences towards israel. only that she is saying and hinting that there is the potential for the fire. but she doesn't want to get ahead of any agreement. so we're watching very carefully the us president is about to appear in the room of the white house where he will be signing legislation regarding hate crimes in the united states. and were wondering if you might be seeing any more on this issue with respect to the ongoing violence in israel and the fact that so many are calling for there to be at least discussions about whether or not hate crimes has been committed with respect to the treatment of youth really military and policy can be helpful for us from the one to thank you. still ahead on the al serra china shows all it's late as high tech gadgets. does it strive to be the well auth?

9:34 pm
and palestinian groups have also stepped out their walk at a tax against towns and cities in israel. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been meeting his thompson curacy officials to discuss the ongoing military escalation. let's get more on the story. we can speak to ariel gold, who has a u. s. middle east foreign policy unless she joins us live from new york via skype . you're more than a middle east analyst. you an advocate if the boy caught divestment sanction movement that seeks to isolate israel internationally tell us what that is and how exactly boycotting can impact the situation on the ground. i am also the national co director of code, pink worry women, lead grassroots anti war organization. yeah. so right now what we are seeking to do is begin to block a weapon. so it's really more of
9:35 pm
a weapon transfer since the u. s. gave israel the money, but we're seeking to lock these weapons from being given to israel. imminently 700 . $35000000.00 in us weapons to be used for further is brailey war crimes you you've been banned from entering israel now. is that right for your stance? on boy coughing, can you explain what happened there? well i used to travel to palestine one or 2 times a year to stay for an extended period of time. often in the flash point west bank city of hebron. and i was there to work on the ground with palestinian activists to end israel systems of apartheid. and israel became quite upset with me for being an american jew who worked with palestinians for palestinian freedom and
9:36 pm
equality and shining a light on the violations of human rights in the violations of jewish values that both israeli soldiers and israeli settlers were committing. and so they launched their campaign to have me deported at the time. i wasn't actively deported at the time, but when i returned in 2018 again to visit the my palestinian friends as well as other things a deported me of from been very an airport and have banned me from re entry. what do you make of the us dance on israel in this current conflict? it's so disgraceful. the us, the biden administration, in particular, has blood on their fan right now from the death toll from the massacres. but israel is committing in gaza as well as the use of live ammunition against protesters in
9:37 pm
the west bank. this is not only just crazed full, but more and more it is be coming out of sync with the positions of young american jews who are moving further and further away from unquestioned an educated support for israel and toward support for freedom, justice and equality for all people, it's interesting. i was looking out a gallup poll, which said 75 percent of americans still hold favorable views of israel. that is not surprising. what was surprising was perhaps what you were saying, a growing number, sympathetic to as the palestinians. is that something that you are seeing in the work you're doing? absolutely, i'm seeing that and i'm seeing it as well in the leadership of my daughter who's an
9:38 pm
18 year old, jewish american who is in speaking out for palestinian rights. what we see is, for example, on a recent call, i think it was a pupil, jews under the age of 30, only half of them identified as israel being important to them as an issue where 2 thirds of. 6 jewish, an older jewish american said that israel was important to them and that actually doesn't get at the full picture of this change taking place with young american you is supporting palestinian right? because the question already is quite biased. there. israel is very important to me because it's very important that israel and get to war cry. so these numbers i think are even larger than these polls are picking up. we're really seeing this change in young american jews. and it gives me such great hope.
9:39 pm
wonderful to hear from you and very surprising to hear that you have an 18 year old daughter ariel gold at the national co code. it's direct to have code pink. thank you. across the world for days now there have been protests in solidarity with people in garza. this was pocket sounds largest to see karachi way of protest is demanded and to israeli, as strikes, full rallies are expected on friday, august on requested a special session of the un top human rights body on the situation in the occupied palestinian territories. that will happen next week in geneva. hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the us embassy in indonesia, capital jakarta. they urged washington to take a stand in support of palestinians. the world's largest muslim majority nation does

9:41 pm
bathroom. but apart from the statement, the group has not pulling the bottle, at least not officially because many believe has the law in one way or another has been behind the rocket fire. the incidents of rocket fire that are trying to target israel. a lot of those rockets have fallen in the sea and open spaces. they believe that these rockets cannot be fired from her as well as her without the knowledge. so it, those rockets attacks are being described as a political message to tell the israeli another front could open also to support us and strengthen the negotiation. but many of servers will say, has the law does not want to risk all our conflict at a time that lebanon is in the midst of a deep economic crisis. this country is isolated, with no friends, simply because of hezbollah growing influence. but at the same time. 7 they say the longer the conflict and, and gaza continue. and if come us is under pressure,
