10:05 pm
from the north in near the noticing and the eastern parts of garza. and also we just, if i work it's not far from the beach, let's come to the details of the people. i would like to mention that this is something that it is not easy to shoot by by camera. some palestinian women inside. i mean inside the shooters revealed that they cannot sleep without pants even, and other either in the shooters or at homes, penis, in women's in garza, the must sleep in their pants. why? simply because they expect bombing the house anytime and they imagine 8 that they were would be carried to the hospital or or to that graveyard, whatever. so they are thinking about the, about the,
10:06 pm
about these details. it's something like, like night man, these things happens when, when the night is coming and also their event revealed. but then, of course, refused to be photographed, that they don't have show of mind palestinian women do not have show up at night because during they expected during the shower maybe somebody would try to get their house or to the house over their neighbors. which means that they would be naked for the people which they refuse. of course, these details lead and other details lead, some in the chute would like to leave because they cannot have a shower. and they cannot sleep freely in the shoes or in the service. and they told us that they would like to the 10 today we have seen at
10:07 pm
the entrance or at the gate of one of the shelters. we have seen a family a little bit divide. it would like to go back to their houses. they fled or to stay and then they themselves could not decide why because they cannot stay in and any human place. shortage of water shortage of food. they have no clothes because they fit that house carrying nothing, and some of them shoes it without any they have. they cannot live ambitions. and in the meantime, they would like to go to the house, but it is a risky so they, they, they cannot decide to go or not to go to stay or not to stay what's according to them. and them. thank you very much. i did ok, thank you. well, i'm just, there is
10:08 pm
a mon calling is in west jerusalem for us. tell us a little bit about the, the meeting that's going on then, and this talks that seems to be emerging of a possible sci fi. well, here's the deal about the security cabinet meeting is ted by prime minister. i will care, take a progress benjamin netanyahu. we're often told that a security cabinet will meet and meet around 7 o'clock, but that's always held. we don't told what's being discussed. we don't told when it's finished. we don't told who was in the meeting. the meeting can involve people other than those that are in the security cabinet. but what we do know is that any decision to agree to a cease fire with us will be made at that meeting. prime minister benjamin netanyahu will also speak to intelligent services. the army, the air force, etc, in terms of the practical details of delivering and enforcing
10:09 pm
a sci fi. but it's how that meeting that the sci fi will be discussed. but here's the deal. what's his roles position right now? well, we've had the un general assembly special session on the israeli palestinian conflict that's been taking place to date. and we've heard an incredibly hard line from the un, these reading and the to the un reiterating the fact that it basically israel, things that math is a terrorist network. and that's all they think of as all that they talk about is that the official position of the yahoo government, well, of course it is. but what does that mean for the ceasefire? is that considered to be a terrorist organization? is the whole point of this latest round of violence to get rid of them? well, there's a real politic that goes on as well. we've often seen this talking tough by netanyahu, but however, when it comes to a sci fi, it's always as a deal between mass and between israel. but it's never about the destruction of
10:10 pm
mass. a lot of people are getting very frustrated with that, particularly in the south. those cities, those towns, those villages very near the gulf barrier. getting very with how much rockets coming in now it has to be said, 90 percent of those rockets are actually just destroyed by the rocket defense system. but some of them do get through and you're listening to those people and what they're telling you is there's no need for sci fi with a mass they just simply need to be destroyed. so that, you know, who has all of this pressure on him, he can deal with domestic pressure. he can ignore the you and he's very good. i ignore you and he's been doing it for years. in fact, the actually cause of the most and he is ready institution on the pilot, the one person, the one country he can't afford to ignore the united states. but the united states, this time around has set that and sent out a statement. the in israel is being seen into very distinct ways. now the statement or the message of the statement is we want deescalate action on the road to
10:11 pm
a cease fire. now that is coming from president joe biden. what does that mean? well, a lot of his ready to say actually it's too soft, a gives netanyahu and out. it gives it and yahoo a chance to continue this operation for a very long time. others the thing, know it is pressure is pressure, let you know who to get a sci fi in place, but with no date proceed by with no language. strong language coming from the u. s . whether a c, y happens in the next 24 hours or not, and it was supposed to happen this morning at 6 am. it didn't happen. there were rumors that it might happen tomorrow morning at 6 amp. that's friday. maybe it comes out of the security cabinet meeting that was talking about runa, maybe it doesn't, but by only accounts, most of israel's allies sticking to the line, including us, the israel has the right to defend itself. whether netanyahu sees that as a green light to continue the operation is what everybody is talking about. enron
10:12 pm
can thank you very much. indeed. such a straight line not to listen to the past and inform mr. speaking at the un $110.00 countries were asked for speak to be able to express that abuse the policy. people did listen the watch to, to the speeches that were delivered to the expression of solidarity of support. they were emboldened by such words and, and strengthened by them there of where proud to see the strong expression of support messages of support and solidity to the policy. people who are being hit massacred on every minute by the israeli military power military might today we
10:13 pm
expressed our joint expression of solidarity on support and the policy people for the 1st time in more than a year. and so they were able to see such enormous solidarity on support from the international community. we do believe that is what has no way out but to stop. it's kind of an edge. it's aggression against the policy and people we think that they might go for a unilateral cease fire because israel and as always, try to avoid reaching a joint ceasefire. not to give any
10:14 pm
expression of recognition to the other site. and maybe that will go for a lateral ceasefire. that's good. that's the carnage. aggression that tack will stop. it's good that the policy people, the more than 2000000 of them, will be able to go to sleep to night. knowing that they will have a brighter to model, but that's not enough. that's not enough at all the port issue that started all this episode is jerusalem. we cannot forget jerusalem. the holy places a lot of mosque that was designated when a daily basis. but there is
10:15 pm
a soldiers and there's really settlers and also there's really a policy to evict palestinians from their homes, like the ones in the neighborhood. and ceylon, available cuthbert in a tour last year and in the rest of the different neighborhoods within is euros of them. there's really settlement policy and their intention to raise the multi cultural, multi religious character of the city of jerusalem to raise the muslim out of christian by the stadium character of the city. their policy, since they have a co pied is rosa them, is to change that character through introduce new realities in new facts from the ground and to make the city jewish city without any
10:16 pm
possible out of palestine in muslim christian character at all. we opposed to that, we reject that and will keep working to prevent that from happening. so these messages were very clear. not only condemning is elia also is on crimes, but also reminding everybody, reminding ourselves that you know, we have to care for jerusalem. we have to work to protect yourself, am we have to work to also to defend yourself. that's important. but there is still, there is a wider picture, though why that picture is about the prolonged occupation is really prolonged occupation of the policy and territory that have started in $967.00. we should not forget that. we should remember all the time that israel is an uncle buying power,
10:17 pm
and israel is not above the law is right, cannot enjoy impunity. israel has to be accountable for the crimes that it commit against the policy and people on daily basis. crimes, cut the amount of crimes against humanity and go crimes. and that's for that reason we have to work very hard loader to put an end to that to patient. today's events here in the general assembly and what has been happening has refocused that tension again. one day she was by this time that anything related to the so called normalization between some out of countries on israel does not for go by this time and issue of palestine and the question of palestine or the question of jerusalem. to the contrary,
10:18 pm
we see today that you know the issue of palestine and palestinian question, the issue of jews, a limb and occupation of jerusalem is the most important issue for all muslims and arabs and the world alike. and that's if that is a, an issue that brings out of the muslims world. i like to be not united to work for one particular issue is about jerusalem and palestine. we are proud of that and we will be working with everybody in order to see the end of the occupation, the end to aggression, then 2 crimes and the end to impunity. and the beginning for accountability we want to see the policy people 3 and also
10:19 pm
living in their own independent palestinian state with these years as its capital. we are proud of the work that has been done today and we have to build on it. we have to move into other dimensions and to see what can we do together in order to accelerate the process and to focus the attention on the work of the security council. and on other matters in order to see that initiate the settlement about the israeli policy question, will be initiated as soon as possible, according to the you know, terms internationally recognized terms of references and international legitimacy with the whole walk in watching
10:20 pm
the passage for mister re emily keys speaking to you and after the un general assembly meeting saying that he thinks there might be a sci fi coming. and also reiterating some of the issues that he thinks need to be resolved, as well as the fighting, including the stages of jerusalem and an end to the occupational quickness backend . in fact, we will, we will need to that next bit tip. we will let me remind you how the general assembly meeting began with you and set your general antonio terrace, calling for an immediate end to the fighting representatives from around the world . discussing the latest escalation involved between israel, hamas and its allied groups, several for mr. have been taking part in a diplomatic push for a cease fire meeting has followed days of israel's ally, the u. s. blocking efforts of the un security council to agree on the resolution calling for an end to hostilities. well, here's what israel's ambassador to the un gillard adam told me,
10:21 pm
take these run wants to see the 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. as close to chris's lumiere, the united nations. so some strong speeches, all round. tell us more. what about what people have been saying, and how israel has reacted yes, 95 countries or regional group signed up to deliver a speech today. we're only about halfway through them and what we're hearing in addition to strong calls for an immediate cease, fire is a focus on the humanitarian situation. a focus on civilian casualties which
10:22 pm
have happened on both sides of this conflict, but disproportionately affecting civilians. antonio the terrace, the un secretary general, called the situation and gaza. how on earth for children given more than a 3rd of the casualties there have been women and children were also hearing speakers put the emphasis on the situation that led to this latest escalation of violence. namely, they're talking about the ongoing occupation of palestinian land and more recently, conflict in east jerusalem attempts to forcibly remove palestinian citizens with homes their attacks at l. x a mosque and so on. so where as we just heard from the israeli ambassador talking about their right to self defense, their focus on defeating moss. they labeled here
10:23 pm
a g haughty terrorist organization. the response from many of the speakers has been to look at these broader issues and how they have led to this conflict. a lot of the speakers also have been pointing fingers at the united states and the security council for its inability to act the united states has been while calling for a cessation of hostilities to begin, has stopped any international formal response from happening. here's what the us ambassador had to say. over the past 2 weeks, the united states says approach this crisis in israel and gaza with a singular focus, bring an end to the conflict as quickly as possible. we have not been silent. in fact, i don't believe that there is any country working more urgently and more fervently
10:24 pm
toward piece. this is not a slight and it is not silence. it's a fact. i shared to underscore our deep engagement and commitment to working with israelis, palestinians, and partners across the region to resolve this conflict. when the last few minutes is ready, media have now reported that the security cabinet has approved to see the font as go back challenges. there is iran con in west jerusalem is that it was not been confirmed yet. we haven't got it confirmed, hey, we're hearing the same information the you are, but actually it begs a lot more questions than answers. if they cease, fire has been approved. what we need to find out is what shape that takes. is it? as many people have been talking about, a unilateral cease fire by israel itself without any response to masses demands. is it an agreement between the 2 parties and have is,
10:25 pm
and has israel capitulate due to a massive demands? these are things that really come out in the next few hours. if indeed this is confirmed that we do have to be very careful. a lot of the is ready media may well have jumped the gun. but a lot of is reading media do have incredibly good sourcing. so we're just waiting to see what that is, but it does beg questions as to what shape the ceasefire takes place. now as soon as i have more, i'll give you more, but right now i think it all actually if a bit more questions than answers. okay, in run that, thank you so much and we will come back to you as soon as we get any further information. and just within the last minute or 2 of distinction on the was here that him, us official, has confirmed a mutual and simultaneous truce with israel to begin at 2 am on friday. so i will bring you more official confirmation and what appears to be a truce being agreed to between israel and hamas
10:26 pm
a brokerage impart by the egyptians and also pressure from the u. s. so let's go back to christian salumi. so kristen is remote in monitoring this meeting. we've been hearing some noise is from the the u. s. that they've been trying to broker a c y, at least influencing towards sci fi in the background. what more can you tell us about absolutely the united states all along has said that they felt the best way to resolve the situation and get an end to the violence was through private, quiet diplomacy at the highest levels. and we've also heard recently just in the last few minutes, the foreign minister of palestine, we are all molecules acknowledging that these talks were perhaps happening. he called this a unilateral cease fire. of course, he does not represent her moss,
10:27 pm
but he attributed the cease fire to israel on the last, he welcomed it as an end to the carnage. but again, reiterating what we've been hearing all day here at the united nations. the need to address the underlying issues going forward in terms of palestinian state, the status of jerusalem, east jerusalem in particular, which the palestinians an international law has recognized as the future capital of a palestinian state. the religious rights of people. there are so certainly, any cessation of hostilities will be a big relief. not only for palestinians, but for the international community. the united nations, which does so much to help power, simians living under occupation for in terms of humanitarian relief. this is certainly welcome news and good news, but the question and the issue that we heard from the palestinian foreign minister
10:28 pm
is that this isn't a cease fire is not going to be enough. they want to go farther and resolve these issues for me. thank you very much indeed. and let's bring back a note. there is a man con, who's in western linda some more detail coming in in the last couple of minutes. so bring us up to date with the details of trees. well, what we're hearing is that channels 121 of the main kind of israeli channels, hey, is saying a to a m start to, to this sci fi. so we're expecting to see a lot more movement on this. we're also hearing that it has been a sci fi that has been agreed with the hum us. but the key people here, all the egyptians, this isn't a gyptian brokered ceasefire agreement. the egyptians have been working constantly throughout the last few days to try and get all parties to agree to the sci fi, so it looks like the egyptians have managed to make
10:29 pm
a breakthrough. now what does that mean in terms of kind of getting a cross, getting journalists into gaza, to witness the damages taken place? all of that will come through in the next few days. but crucial to all of this was the security cabinet meeting. it began 7 o'clock local time and that's where the decision to agree to a sci fi took place. but like i'm saying, it's the objections that are broken there. so a success, certainly for them certainly something that those thoughts housing in the next few hours. but it looks like at some point 2 m, that's when the c spot will start and being confirmed, not any by is reading media, but we are hearing from my sources as well. i haven't got them confirmed just yet, but we are hearing the mass will confirm that as well in runs and one of the things that was possibly on the table as part of those discussions was how much, how much would be agreeable to stopping building tunnels and so on is that
10:30 pm
something that is likely to have been agreed in this, but this particular stage or not? when not sure. i mean, i have always negotiated very, very hard. they have some bargain chips, but the new, not a huge amount, but the tunnels of always remained open. and whether this is part of that remains to be seen, let's see, the details of this piece agree of the sci fi rather, are going to be kept fairly tightly under wraps. we're going to have to be very, very careful. in terms of the people that we listen to, they'll be a lot of noise coming out with particular from the right wing israeli media who will see this as like i'm asked capitulating m. s defeated. they'll be supported for math and goes. the thing is we've defeated these ratings we've, we've done this, but the actual details i think are going to be incredibly difficult to get to certainly within the next 12 hours or so.
