how silence on the question of iran, or at least to keep quiet in the sense that, that he might not be happy. and he might express his happiness in his role. but he's certainly not going to come again to congress and talk, you know, over the american president against iran nuclear deal and to i would expect the biden to try to. busy get more concession out, nathan, you know, to begin or re begin or restart the so called peace process. in the sense that what has been stuck on block now for something like 15 years, that by there would be able to re engage once again in some form of improvement in the situation for the palestinians and occupied territories. giving them some horizon of a possible freedom and sovereignty and in the intermediate future. and that is, i would have to make certain concessions,

whether it is in jerusalem and the us bank. and starting garza in terms of opening up something. the blockade and very important freezing the settlements, the illegal settle. my one, michelle. thank you very much indeed for your analysis. and if you are just joining us, it's just after 20100 gmc, we're reporting news of a cease fire in the palestine. israel conflict over garza, which has been now going for 11 days during which is really strong of killed, more than $200.00 palestinians, including more than 60 children. as, according to garza health ministry and the israeli military has. and how much rockets are, beg, your pardon, have killed more than a dozen people in israel, including 2 children. now there's news of us and the, and mutual and unconditional sci fi according to these really cabinet. so let's cross to how did, how made in occupy the truism. so we're starting to get more details of how the ceasefire will come into effect. perhaps

just a little bit. it is actually trickling out. still, i think the full picture for the full picture. we'll have to wait a little bit more what we do know it's will be a mutual piece fire that will kick in at 2 am local time. that's 2300 gym pizza. that's about 3 hours from now. but in between i think there is a bit of apprehension in gaza, probably, or among israeli. this is is because usually the pattern during the past wars is that even though i cease fire was announced that you would have an intense, sort of and renewed intensity in the bombing in both directions when it struck with fire from gaza or strikes that coming from israel on gaz, actually, our reporters in the field and gather are telling as just as we speak now,

they have been quite the few very strong raids. they are expecting. this is going to happen another few hours, but it's all goes to plan in about 3 hours. all of that should stop. i think we will get more details really in the, in the coming minutes. if not about who got what is going to say is on conditional, but at the end of the day, this has happened through a very intense negotiation and mediation. so both sides must get something in return for this. what kind of appetite has there been in israel for this to stop or least? what kind of support has there been for the operations that been going on in gaza while there has been very strong support for any operation that goes on in gas and whether it was this time or the previous 4 wars. now,

especially among the communities who live in southern israel, just a long that just along garza but with each war. we've also seen that the range of reach of how much has gone deeper into israel. and this time of the past 9 days. i mean, tell, every itself was hit a few times, so defer to that goes the more you get support for this kind of operation. you do hear a lot of people in israel say no. this should continue until how my systems would be finished. you even more violent talk about really carpet bombing the whole of guys. but at the end of the day, you know, that is the national security, the, is the government going on and it's in no one's interests that really got a crumb both completely, even though it's an extremely difficult situation for the people living there. israel does want to have a degree of control and to still be in control of that,

even though it once a week and how know how much to be in control of what i've been me. thank you very much indeed for that live update that let's talk now to some a abuse l m. a patterson in journalist living in gaza. have you been gathering any reaction from people that a news of the sci fi? yes, and that is very action and satisfaction and more attention. i mean some distraction that people a little bit they have feeling that they are happy that they are going to, to testify these and killing what stop the air strikes, wouldn't stop this. placing people from the house would stop and they would be able to go back to their houses and they would like to make sure that they are alive after 11 days of faith and it strikes. this is the side another

side. there are also, they are full of tension and warning because the according to experience experience and 3 wars on guys in 2008, 20122014. when there were 3 wards, when did with sci fi or twos, people testified very intensive, hitting a strike or catalan's just before they died. that's why people and i called some people. what about the feeling? they said, we are happy that there is, there is a fire, but it is, it is too long, 3 hours from $11.00 to $2.00. it is too long, 3 hours, nobody knows what is going on. and what was happening in the 3 hours. so the tension increases more and more, especially because we have justified minutes ago,

we have to divide the bombing in. anyone is in the city and in bid he would explode. june's initial reports did not talk about communities but the explosions and he calls and he called the intensive bumming just before the deadline. tell me about the, the humanitarian situation there at the moment. what are the, the biggest needs that people have and how quickly can age come in? once there is a sci fi in general, the people who need their normal life, the people need their humanity. i mean that during the day, visit the engine on the last 10 days, but this they began to touch more and more to the more and more special needs. number one, safety and security. i mean that people, even if they have food,

they cannot live without security because they fear and this everywhere in each corner of this is the hiding between the stones of the houses even if and if you buy that the, the details of the people in the last picture over here, i have here to buy some woman who revealed that this was a touch, their own very own species life when they told me that women in gaza flores to sleep in pants in that it's because they are afraid that while the sleeping may be bumming what did happen and the house will call labs, and some people is coming to rescue them. and even women in garza do not have showers at night because they expect that an explosion of the house or any house beside them. and women be embarrassed or ashamed to be naked in front

of people who are coming to rescue these details of life. it is very essential to mention have out beside the patient need love for, for children. and for example, when i met people inside that, inside the shelters, and women told me that they would like to leave the shelter because of the kids that kids are in need for how they melt. nobody cares, according to them. and they are in need for a show are but no water even that women themselves like to go to toilet. but they could not because it is very they are the because they the shortage of water. it is beside, of course they live which has been upside down, even their food. they began to at that, paid that with that it was kind of food they now the depend on, on that can be food only basically on the can food and some bread. i noticed

something quite a while i'm coming from those guys to the city. i noticed that there is a long queues along the line of people, and i asked them and what they are doing. i realize that they are tens of people who are standing, waiting for food supply from a charity from one of the local charity. and you or they are giving them some food . and some of people tried to hide their faces because they ashamed the impact as exactly like what one of the physicians in the show that told me that we are feeling we feel we are humiliated. we are not because exactly the attitude of this guy. when he would like to hide his face by a moscow and turn his face aside, he does not want me to know who is this bigger, bigger,

why he's going that because of the shortage of food. i mean, the issue not only material, but also a spiritual and moral and a need. it is something relevant to their, to their feelings. they don't want to be shown as big they, they feel according to them. they feel that be humiliated, insulted by being in this, in such cases in such situation when i met one of them in the, in the, when i met the people inside the ship, somebody was refused to talk of us to talk with us. and he went a little bit back and he said, why you are coming. we are not big as we are doctors, physicians, i'd book it and made chunk over which is do i miss miss jones and engineers and the, and the people who are there. so these details over humanity is,

are of elements which touch it with which touch did humanity. these are the things that you cannot really catch it with your hand using it. thing event that people are also suffering not only killing bloodshed and, and short the food. these things also relevant or link to the phoenix to the house, you know, those people who went forth to this place to be displayed when they fled that houses in the village didn't leave. that house is because just they have here to some explosion. i told i met with a family man, he told me that i decided to stay in my house because i love it. and i, you know, i've been no other choice. i used to go to i shouldn't either in, under a school or in another place, but he, when he has seen a family when killed in front of him,

he was forced to send me an am. thank you very much. indeed for thinking painting a picture of a knife that under the asterix governors on do is in washington dc for us. so i am just wondering if as any confirmation or any reaction that's the station that whitehouse on news of the seas. barbara could buy egypt amongst others not yet. we've reached out to the white house numerous times since the announcement of the seas fire, but so far the white house is being very silent. we have not heard any sort of message from president biden or anyone else at the white house. however, we expect that we probably will, sooner rather than later. and as soon as we get that, we will of course, bring that to you live here on out to 0. but you can imagine that the white house is probably pleased with this news because over the last few days,

the white house has been signaling that they have been increasing the pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to reach some sort of cease fire or 2 in the white house, his words de escalate. this conflict and the pressure coming from the white house to israel has been increasing over the past week. president joe biden spoke to netanyahu 4 times over the course of this conflict. the last time being on wednesday, roughly 24 hours ago. and we heard from jack white house press secretary at the briefing on thursday just a few hours ago actually. and she said that they were continuing to pressure for a de escalation when she was asked specifically about a cease fire. she kind of danced around that a little bit. but the bottom line is the white house sees 3 countries as being a key player in any sort of see fire. that would be jordan egypt and cut our and we did get a read out from the white house, said vice president coming harris did have

a call with the jordanian king duleigh earlier on thursday, where the vice president reiterated to their journey and killing the u. s. position to seek a 2 state solution and a de escalation to the current conflict in gaza when israel. but the bottom line is we have yet to hear anything right now from the white house. gabriel, who's going to thank you very much indeed. past in israelis have been holding a general strike in a day of morning and the city of some hundreds of thousands of people gathered for the funeral of a 17 year old. protests are killed by israeli security forces me to q and died from his injuries after being shot in the head. by under cover offices is really media, as he was sitting in a car with his friends at the time. when i get more reaction to the news as a sci fi with our senior political analyst at my own b. shara, who's my 1st indo hon. they just on the wise i'm seeing from the report from an

egyptian state television is that the egyptian president, his apparently will during the dispatch of 2 security delegations, into israel, and the palestinian territories to work towards upholding the cease fire. how unusual is it? is that to have some kind of a presence that wouldn't want to or uphold one i think it's probably the logical step, in fact, especially by the egyptians who i've been most involved in these talks apparently. and clearly it was the security representative from egypt that have been most involved in and, and that talks with both israelis and palestinians. and then they probably would want to see through some of those commitments guarantees understandings, you know, and shakes whatever, whatever they might be. and, and to have that sort of, you know, observer mission is probably important. i'm

a slightly interested to see how they would deploy them. because generally speaking, i have as rejected having any international, let alone arab security observer mission on on territories. we will see whether they will be deployed on the board. those are or elsewhere be that as it may, i think why we do have apparently now an announcement. fire would probably need to wait and see how this will be enforced and how this would become more permanent. and what is the small print, if there is any. and what the addictions promised these earlier and seniors because this is these, these sort of negotiations are very complex usually and to get either side to agree to them, you would give them a gyptian in this case or rejection. american guarantees that moving forward, some of their demands would be addressed to think that this time the,

the approach that the broadening administration took of not pressuring israel publicly so much was in the end, the right wondering people criticized the bottom administration for, for not speaking how strongly enough and calling for sci fi, and they claim that they were working behind the scenes. do you think that that that that method is paid off? you know, lauren, the price, the price has been very, very high. you know, for the palestinians, especially for the children, for the families, for the livelihood of the people. what president biden did is basically he both prime minister netanyahu 2 weeks in order to found that got a strip. and clearly, nathan, you know, i've had 5 objectives. one, yes, to go after us to it's,

it's very clear from most of the bombing that it's been directed against the economic, administrative and municipal infrastructure and the gaza strip. and you know, this is one of the most impoverished pieces of land in the world took over property over 2000000 people in a burgess for sip of land. so the municipal administrative and a bit of the economic infrastructure is key to the livelihood of over 2000000 people. this is not a count of 20000 people. this is over to one to 2000000 people. so the destruction that was brought about by that the now with the complicity of the, by the ministration. because something that the governments are going to have to be live with for, for many, many, many years. you know, as nathan. yeah, it says we're going to got life back there for many years or you possibly decades. i don't know. i mean, well, yet to, to take stock of the damage of happened. and what about one of the psychology of the, of the hundreds of thousands of children? i mean, how would you repair that?

how would you just divide that? how would president by then be able to live with himself, with hundreds of thousands of souls, children, torture and every night. and it's not the 1st time you know, the youth in gaza has been tortured in 2014. and the ones that are older, i've been tortured, 200-2008. so generation after generations, simians have been tortured by israeli violence by the bars my, by the tetter of the israeli air force and drones. and you know, the entire county. so the price has been very high, there is no way in the world, one could justify the human cost by any political calculus. ok, so let's put on aside and speak less passionately more soberly about this whole thing . how could now biden make israel pay

or reward him for his silence, for his complicity in it's war crimes. right. well one that has to be somebody construction and gaza. true, there has to be some freezing over the settlements. 3, there has to be some addressing of. busy the national aspiration or the policy of people, the root cause of this problem for ending the occupation. the occupation must end. it's more than 535040 year old. now, this occupation must and 30 is a piece process, did not lead to then the occupation by the now has the capacity has bought the house of congress behind him. he has the capacity, he has the credibility, he has the record of being israel's best friend for decades. and now he has given them 2 weeks of this extra time to finish the job. so he must be putting the

pressure. he must put the pressure and that at the now government, i would even go for that and say, he needs to put the pressure and is to the new prime minister. because i mean, you know, with nothing, you know clearly nothing is possible. the man is such a street smart, according to president, the french president, the let you know, the, the former prison furniture attorney presidents are cosy and every other leader that i met them that he is a but you know, he's a lawyer. i mean he to see he lies, he's widely known and is ready to be alive. they cannot be trusted. and now he's meeting one of the most right wing fanatic races coalitions in the history of the state. could this sort of coalition in israel and lead to a just peace with the palestinians based on tuesday solutions, the sovereign independent states living side by side is that actually is something possible or should the united states be way again?

because in the end of the day, they're not the space, they're not states has paid heavily in support of israel and the protection of israel and the advancement of israel as interest in the protection of israel occupation. more than a $150000000000.00 in direct aid. more than $250000000000.00 if you, if you add up the environment aid that's more than 4 or 5 times. the aid america give to the entire continent of europe after the 2nd world war. and what did america get back in return? i think really. so at the end of the day, nathan, you know, and his likes take the weapons, take the money, and reject the advice of the united states. and the advice of the united states is not meant to advance america's interest in this particular case. it's, they are meant to advance is of interest in the regents. so that is going to live, you know, in peace and security within the region that basically so hostile to,

especially after the last 2 weeks i've never seen. i've never seen them, at least in fact, i've never seen the international community. i've never seen social media over the past 1520 years, being so involved, so engaged, so hostile to the israeli would bond mac garza so all of that together, lauren needs to come to, to, to, to biden's mind and mind by this calculation. when he starts looking at what is possible next and how he should be rewarded, and how america should be rewarded after more than 50 years of solid, unconditional support for israel and its occupation. now, michelle, thank you very much indeed. let's take a quick look at what's going on in gaza itself at the moment. so before that she's father, she's due to take effect at 2. and it appears to have been a number of explosions recently. and also a warning to

a building that was targeted earlier today, the riot building and gaza has apparently been given another warning by israeli military to evacuate a potential that they might still be some strikes. and even some rocket fi in the lead up to sci fi kicking in. and let's bring in the dove waxman, who's a professor of israel studies at u. c. l. age will say, author of the book, the israeli palestinian conflict, what everyone needs to know. he joins me by skype from los angeles. thanks very much for being with us. will get initially your reaction to the fact that a c, y has been announced. well i think this is very good news. clearly the continuation of this conflict, the destruction it was reeking 1st and foremost upon god, the impact had upon civilians and god was civilians in israel has really been devastating. and how you to structure think it's a good thing. i think it could have been reached days ago. we have more concerted pressure earlier pressure from the bargaining administration, but it is certainly to be welcomed. it is

a fact off the spot. it's not clear at this point whether there's no agreement between israel and i'm also really just a mutual sci fi. and of course, the sci fi was just the beginning heart that wants to reach deceased by the really hard work is just about to begin, which is to try to figure out some way to prevent the reoccurrence of this study fighting between as well and come off and other groups and gather interesting me, we've had egyptian state television in the last few minutes. it reporting that to the president, nutrition president is all to the dispatch of to secure she delegations into israel . and the president touches to work towards upholding the c sponsor, some kind of monitoring force. how. how do you think that might work this stage? i mean, this seems that i knew the level of egyptian involvement in trying to secure these 5. i would imagine that the focus will be on trying to monitor won't get fire from the gardens just in particular,

not so much. welcome back from the palestinian militant islamic jihad and florida groups got to hammer always have the ability to control. and so i think it might be important to, for the egyptians to be there to help stabilize this, the fire and to reassure the israelis that if, if what gets are being violated in the, in the days to come, that they're not coming from from that how much is trying to hold its end of the seas by giving the the political turmoil in israel. how difficult will it be to have any kind of follow up to this? that is political, you know, mission international means you say that you need to resolve the issues and move on to life beyond this particular and interest. moment in the conflict. how difficult will it be to get the kind of political will in israel to do that? well, it's been even before this latest round of violence, it's been almost politically impossible to get his ready politicians to really address the issue of the guardianship and changes ready policy in the news. now,

israeli military officials and security officials, helping sometimes privately incompetent, bad about criticizing israel strategy towards calls are and arguing that, you know, keeping $2000000.00 people in an impoverished entry packet area is the recipe for provided to continue. those appeal to fallen on deaf is so thought until now and i don't think there's going to be any change. unfortunately. prime minister netanyahu in particular depends upon white wing support. he's trying to put together a coalition government that would include fall light parties. some of those politicians on the life of the house will join his coalition, have already criticized the news all by sci fi. they want israel to be pulverizing the gaza strip. they don't, they want is also how much even harder. so i think he's already going to be could 5 to going soft to being weak and any kind of concessions that he or his government

make, i think will be strongly criticized. and israel. so i do think it's probably going to take unfortunately, a different coalition government, maybe after the 1st election in israel before there's even any slight prospect for a change in israel policy towards the gulf restrict. tell us about the the rockets being far from garza was that nice degree of surprise perhaps in israel that, that am i supposed to have the capability to strike quite so far into israel? yeah, i think that the latest was the plot prize in an, in a number of ways this time around. first of all, they didn't expect camera to initiate hostility, the tool they thought how much had been deterred. they thought how much was not seeking any renewed, completely based off the very fact that how much got involved and by those in the 1st place took his route by supply. and then the number of walk in the hammock had had the fact that big 5 or over 4000 walk is over the course of this conflict with something that surprised is the range of those walk in the ability. now to go further into israel. but more of israel population and particularly calavera and

surrounding areas under walk it far. that was also unprecedented in the how much was also seemed able to to put it to what kids in biology is that have on a few occasions. overwhelmed drove on during defense system. and that's why this, in this complex that be more railey casualties. dobbins railey casualties. death than in the last is all come off, which last 50 days and yet fewer israeli don israelis died during that conflict. thank you very much indeed dead of what's meant for taking the time talk to now. i thank you. my pleasure. if there's a hell on us, it's the lives of children in gaza. those were the words, if you, in 60 general antonio terrorist general assembly meeting currently being held on the ongoing conflict in god's, which now appears to have a sci fi in place or agreed representatives from around the world have met to

discuss the latest escalation in violence between israel, i'm us and it's allied groups. several foreign ministers been pushing procedure far . the meeting for a days of israel's ally, the u. s. blocking efforts that the un security council to agree on a resolution calling for an end to hostilities. i melissa, my 1155, she her to those who say that israel has the right to defend itself. what right, are you exactly talking about? what is rarely 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 whole people under occupation is deprived of the very same rights? these one 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 as close to chris's salumi at the united nation, so event perhaps a little bit overtaken by unused on the ground of this this sci fi. but tell us a bit more about what people been saying and, and how israel reacted. yes, well this is the combination of 11 days of international pressure at the united nations. this forum in the general assembly where countries are able to speak their mind. 95 countries and regional group signed up to speak their piece. we just heard from the israelis and palestinians, but a number of other countries weighing in this after the security council

held for meetings, considered at least 2 potential statements and a potential resolution, but was unable to act on any of them because of us opposition. all of this culminating, as i said in this meeting and intense pressure, not only on israel and hamas to stop bombs from falling, but on the united states, to back some international effort. the united states very much on the defensive here at the united nations, have a listen to what the us ambassador said earlier. 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's any country working more urgently and more fervently toward peace. 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. in terms of resolving the country, does she put it was, can we expect anything concrete to come out of the, of this meeting? i think today's events will be overshadowed by the call for a cease fire, but we heard from many of the speakers today talking not only about the need for a cease fire, but also a lot of the underlying issues in terms of how we got to this place and the immediate need for humanitarian assistance with so much power being lost to

power, being cut infrastructure being damaged, hundreds of buildings destroyed, including schools that serve as shelters, medical facilities. so one real focus of the united nations right now is getting aid to gaza and other areas in the palestinian territory. they're calling for 14000000 dollars in emergency relief aid to be released right away. that is going to be a big focus of the international community moving forward. and again, as i say, do, addressing the underlying issues as a refrain that we heard over and over again from all of the speakers today that this escalation did not happen in a vacuum. some the palestinian foreign minister saying until the palestinians have their own state. but the there's never going to be a resolution to some of these issues. the issue of jerusalem and final status for palestinians. this most recent conflict being kicked off by pressure on

palestinian families in easter islam ship draw neighbourhood under the thread of forcible eviction from their homes. and officials have called that a potential war crime as of many countries here. the issue of attacks and alexa and the preservation of religious sites in east jerusalem until any of these issues are resolved and addressed. many people have made the argument that there will not be peace in the middle east. christian to me, thank you very much indeed. of course, not a 100 been he didn't occupied east jerusalem and told just remind us the details of the ceasefire and how this will work and in practical terms. well, this is fire will take place in about 2 and a half hours from now. now we don't really have much details except that both israel and i might have said that it would be a mutual ceasefire. apart from that,

the rhetoric coming out of israel is that instead i'm conditional these fire. whereas senior official of hum, as based in beirut, actually said that how much had received guarantees that what he called is really aggressions in most compound and as a rough will stop. but he didn't elaborate what kind of guarantee. so really what happened behind the scenes, what message work conveyed back and forth through egypt, i still not clear what will be the conditions. i still not clear. we also do know that in the gym, egypt is this fact forwarding to the official media. there are 3 delegations survived here very soon. want to go to israel, want to go to the occupied, went back and then want to go to to gather trip. i think what everybody's concentrating on now is was that 0 hour, which is 2,

which is 2 am israel time and $2300.00 g m t for that to arrive. and to see if actually this decision of hostilities will immediately take place, or will there still be some violation? i think that's the 1st step. and then maybe later we will hear more details. what has exactly been? i agree that bone me. thank you very much indeed. for time being, so take you straight back to the un, isn't into the egyptian. i must of the talking made by the president of the 75th session of the un general assembly to hold this important meeting on the palestinian question. in light of the latest developments seen in occupied palestinian territories. i'd also like to express my gratitude for the efforts made by the un secretary general and his exhaustive efforts to in

chief piece in the middle east. and also the contact that he has made with the various parties to achieve these aims. i wish to affirm that egypt associates itself with the statement delivered by the arab group, the african group, the non line movement. and then mister president, allow me to share with you the fact that the efforts made by egypt and the other parties have borne fruit with a ceasefire very shortly. we hope that it will last any life that we can save lawrence. all of the efforts that we are making we're making as many as possible and up to the last minute possible. the united nations general assembly represents the inclusive universal form in which the various members they come together as members of one family to their positions

and the visions with regard to different international issues. the general assembly represents and continues to represent the most important framework that allows the participation of all member states on equal footing and which takes decisions that reflect yet the consensus of the family of nations. because of the, the various challenges and issues faced in light of the principles of the un charter international departments of international law. today, we are seeing a difficult part of a difficult and painful movement to debate. one of the 1st matters that was ever included on the you ends agenda, which is the palestinian question. the question has seen great setbacks over the last few decades which followed in the wake of the hopes that we

saw with the beginning of a peace process in the region. this hope was then if dissipated with the occupation . i'm dis railey practices with regard to settlement building force displacement to destruction of palestinian structures and violence against studies on armed palestinian civilians. in addition to the threat that disposed to the holy alex, i'm asked mr. president, any question right now? a good preparation for the future, and it invites us to reflect seriously on the way out of this vicious cycle of violence that we see from time to time. in the absence of any serious negotiations aimed at ensuring the supplement of the palestinian it question. in accordance with agreed parameters,

egypt has often repeated that there will be no stability in the middle east without the fat lasting comprehensive supplement of the palestinian question, which has always been and remains the central question of the our people which has been reflected in the latest arab resolution at a ministerial level coming from the arab league. the 1st step ahead of us 1st, 1st and foremost, is the ending of any military acts and prevention of any provocation in jerusalem. as well as respecting the historic and legal status of the citizen of the, of the city. and thus, in order to the following the cease fire. and that you've been abling the taking of a series of measures on the ground that will allow

a return to calm the beginning of the reconstruction of gaza. so as to allow all parties to begin to review the relaunching of patients. and mister president, the relaunching of the peace process in a serious and effective manner must underpin any international movement towards a positive and elliptical horizon. which might be able to give the hope to our palestinian brothers and to people of the region with a hope for peace and lasting stability with a safer future for us all. this requires the swift activation of the role of the court and

a positive response to the request to hold an international peace conference under the officers of the united nations in order to resume negotiations aimed at a stand ups publishing a policy. and despite on the lines of the 4th of june, 967 with east jerusalem assets capital in accordance with agreed references and parameters and the united nations resolutions, particularly the security council resolution 2334 from 2016 as well as the 2 state solution and the arab piece initiative them at egypt has made intensive efforts, as well as great sacrifices throughout the this issue. and we determined to continue our efforts will be that in the context of the munich formula or any other formula or initiative aimed at achieving the same

objective. paula, as well as with cooperation with the us administration, to resume negotiations between both sides and aimed at ensuring international efforts to rebuild the gaza. it to that end, we have announced that we've allocated $500000000.00 in the context of an egyptian initiative for the reconstruction of the gaza strip. and we've also announced that specialist egyptian companies will be involved in the reconstruction process. mr. president, by way of conclusion, egypt confirms on the basis of its historic responsibilities with regard to the palestinian question that we will miss you all efforts. and we will provide our full capacities and efforts to ensure that the call to new people can enjoy security peace and stability in the within

a palestinian state home. the lines of the 4th of june 967 with east jerusalem as its capital. thank you very much. in listening to the egyptian contribution that the un general assembly confirming that to be a c 5 a shortly. he said he hoped that it would last. and he also went on to say that there would be no stability in the middle east without a 1st settlement of the palestinian issue, and also referred to the prospects of bringing back international peace efforts as bringing christian salumi at the united nations. so clearly the sci fi, as is the initial step and the print, they're talking about what's beyond that and perhaps trying to get back to some kind of framework to, to rebuild confidence and, and have some kind of piece process. yes, absolutely. we heard him welcoming news of ac, fire, egypt, of course,

a very important regional player in any attempts at a cease fire or more importantly to many here a 2 state solution and getting negotiations for that back on track. what we've heard today, in addition to the many calls for a cease fire and an end to civilian casualties and help for humanitarian aid is a recognition of the underlying issues that have persisted so long in this region. and we've got a clue from, from this speech there. i believe it was the gyptian ambassador who was speaking for some reason. they didn't have a close up shot of him, so i can't confirm that it was abdulla chief of lot. but i think that's who it was in. he was talking about the way the united nations still sees the situation in the middle east and the fact that by international law and past international agreements, palestine is entitled to land along 1967 borders with the east jerusalem as

its capital. but we've seen in recent years, those borders that land being slowly chipped away from the palestinians as more and more settlers from israel move in to those areas. and most recently, prior to this most recent escalation, the threat of forced eviction of a whole family as palestinian families from east jerusalem, which the palestinians see as their capital. these issues remain here at the united nations. and we understand why israel does not want to come to the un when it comes to a cease fire. and some of these other issues because they are starting from a different point for many here in the international community. and again, what we're hearing from these speakers is that and that's one thing to call for an

end to the violence. but if the palestinian people don't have an opportunity, particularly in gaza where, where the movements are so restricted and opportunities are so few. and now, especially the devastation is so serious that if there is not a possibility for a future, for people there, that is what in fact, gives rise to extremism, violence, and despair and desperate acts. so we're hearing thanks for not only from the egyptians, but from many of the people here who were 1st and foremost looking for a cease fire. but also this constant drum beat up. we've got to get back to the negotiating table. we got to get back to a 2 state solution. we've got to get back to the issues that are going to give palestinian some hope. or we're going to be right back here again. christians, louis, thank you very much. indeed. are senior political analyst to melinda. shower is live in doha forest. just want to pick up on that issue that was mentioned just now

at the end of the, the international peace conference. how far off are we from, from bringing back that kind of framework and, and potentially getting back to some kind of negotiation. negotiation well, that has always been the demand of the, of the finished indian leaders. that yellow has always called for international conference because as christian said, then i think this is a fundamental point the for the palestinians. the most important ally of all is international law. and $40.00, the worst of enemies is international law. and that's why israel has done everything possible in order to avoid anything called international community international law or the united nations. because it knows that once you start applying applying international law, it's going to be the losing party. the united nations security council has already

on 3 occasions, agreed to the fact that the 4th geneva conventions are applicable in the occupied territories, including in east jerusalem, including in east jerusalem as an occupied territory. and if the united states have, has ever protected from any think it's not from out of enemies, it's from the united nations. that's why the united states has always insisted that it, that it would be the sponsor of any talks. and, and that has always been israel's condition. so the idea of an international peace conference is probably the best possible idea because that's where the international community can weigh in and be a true objective neutral mediator if you will. and this issue, but the united states, israel's patronage, and more special question, all eyes has always insisted that this is its area of influence and that it will

not allow others to get involved. the only time it did, lauren was right before the iraq war and right after $911.00, when the bush administration understood in order to bring about some sort of an international support for its war in iraq. it accepted the so called core catch the core tet meaning the united states, the united nations, a russia, and europe would be the, the, the 4 parties responsible for ensuring the continuation of the piece process if you, when, in order to mediate between israelis and palestinians as you remember at the time this is tony blair as the envoy of the court, that there were 2 problems with that. one is of course tony blair, which cannot be trusted as an invoice. and to that, the united nations was, was a minority in the court that the united nations is supposed to be the world. but

the united states insisted that the united states that united nations would be one out of 4 parties. this gives you an idea of how orthodox if you, where the united states is about making sure that, that the international community is marginalized. this is how much israel cares that the international commit is marginalized. it wants the united states. so now, would we, or could we have an international conference with the united says being a lead role. because as we know, when it comes to most most successful international conferences, whether it is a pro pro ration of nuclear weapons or the environment or, or trade, they have always been led by the united states. you know, the, i, 6 is the war superpower. and if you want to get any international initiative, any international peace conference, to work and to be functional, you need to bring the united states on board and to put it to take the lead. so why

not let it do that this time around? but bring in, the other part is bring and they will be as if you want to ask them for the money later bring in the russians if you want them to weigh in later and use their leverage and so on and so forth. so international conferences would be a great idea, i'm just not sure. as i said earlier in more than ways than one, that is res. with accept it, it's up to the united states to put pressure, to do use it's leverage with israel. and in order for it to do that, because while i'm saying that my son, i feel now like a broken record, because we all know what the solution is. israelis know what the solution is except they try to, you know, to run away from it. they talk to deny it, to step solution or one state for 2 people bring in the international community would be an arch fits in order to help the 2 parties dredge. there are differences, whether they are security or others in order for them once on for all to solve a problem that now is what a century old that's been going on for 70 plus years and an occupation been gone

for 50 plus years. and everyone knows a solution except and here i'm saying that with the utmost objectivity, it has been israel. that has rejected the international communities consensus. it has that rejected withdrawal from occupied territories, including students and in the palestinian until last week. and the week before, when everything went on, the violence broke out and it didn't depend as soon as i've been insisted that they are more than happy to share the 50. to share jerusalem with israel east for the palestinians, west where israel is, and for it to be an open city for everyone. these range will not accept that the policy say a share and we accept these in the say, know all of it is for us for us, which is of course unacceptable for the seniors, for the arabs, and for so many others that are under what i wanted to show thank you very much indeed. or how to abu siobhan is him humanitarian work in palestinian citizen?

he joins us set from gaza city via skype. thanks very much for being with us. just wanted to ask you, is it seemed, does it seem like it's quite at the moment before the sci fi kicks in? in fact, until now we can hear some, some, some sounds of explosion here on there and also the drawings are still filling the air. so we are hopeful that this, this legend sees fire, would really materialized by 2 a. m, as, as it is announced to tell me about your particular situation. have you had to move from your house or you, how worrying has it been for the last few days? well definitely, i mean, i mean it was, it was very lucky to, to have, haven't been moved or to haven't been forced to relocate. unlike other 10 to 10, tens of thousands of, of, of palestinians here. and goes who had to relocate to on the russian terrace. and

to the government shorter than the on the schools, there are a few damages and it has been a very tormenting experience for us to go through this war. and if anyone wants this to this, this hell to end is, would, would be us, palestinians here in doesn't tell me there's already talk about the, you know, the cost of reconstruction and what needs to be done off to the valid stops, assuming that it does stop as planned, what sort of things do you see as a priority that what, what kind of things urgent needs the priority is for this to end once and for all actually it's not about the construction. i mean of course there are like very basic needs that need to be considered right away. but, but for us, palestinian at this point in guns, we want this to end once and for all. because i mean,

that's the problem with the non conditional cease fire is that no conditions means that the situation is still very volatile and fragile and is, is very much vulnerable to other escalations in the future. and unless the international community pressure everyone, especially israel, to abide by the international law, which gives us an extension which give us our rights to the land occupied by israel and all the other distinctions and internationally, are known reknown. but the still, the androids. this will not end to ever, and no one will have have actual piece. so it is pretty simple and although everyone wants it to sound very complicated, it is very simple. it's just that we need a war t and or, and learn to be given back to us. just to come back to that. thank you. just to go back to the see far itself as over reports that egypt is to send in monitors,

to monitor the seas 5. what do you make of that? is that something that surprises you and how does that work in practice? what you mean? monitoring the fire. yeah. i mean, i hope, i mean all the philistines, the hope that the deceased player will, will materialize and will last forever. but a book. but frankly, it can last for a couple of years like it did in the last between the previous war. and this one, but unfortunately if things politically and on the ground remain at the same place, it is very much prone to other escalations in the future. so what i think is needed at this point is not to is to, to really address the root causes and threats to, to address the actual issues of, of, of the palestinian case and the butler and, and this conflict. thank you very much. indeed. the abu shavanne for sharing your

thoughts with us here in under 0. and i'm not tell you this is our very watching us that live from london. it's update you now on what's happened in the past couple of hours or israel and palestinian groups have agreed to cease 5. it's expected to come into effect at $23.00, g m t. although there were reports that israel is yet to agree to a time. the deal was broken by the gyptian government official confirmed the deal as a quote neutral and civil tenuous truce with israel. well, these are not pictures of gaza since the truce was announced. there been more israeli strikes and rockets find towards ash cologne in israel. the in the past 24 hours to crowded refugee.
