2:02 am
$233.00 palestinian lives in garza, including $65.00 children. 12 people have been killed in israel. the world is grown increasingly vocal and demanding an end to the bloodshed on thursday. you in chief antonio had as told the general assembly that if there's a hell of it is the lives of children and gossip, his coverage team, or zeros hold up the heat isn't occupied. easterel and gable is on the standing by 1st in washington, dc. but we'll get, we'll begin with the software loot, who's in gaza, so stuff, what the sci fi has just come into effect for seeing pictures for people celebrating in ramallah. what's the mood, the people pretty pleased, i should imagine that at least the bombing has come to an end. celebrations in got started even 5 minutes before that too. we could hear the background, the fire work shooting. i mean, shooting from the local to liberating what they call,
2:03 am
what the latino fractions pull up victory. we could also choose from the most loud speaker. we couldn't understand what they say, but we, we know that they are celebrating killing words of victory. also they said we can see them saying a lot, but god is the greatest. they said also that the senior official will pass by the polak family. suddenly its neighborhood. the 3 then shall build exactly destroyed on 45 family members of this family were killed and this collision, and the latest collision wasn't the fix day. so holly, how are you? i'm not sure. we'll go there. will give us speech morning speech and of course celebration one and joe barley also known in the notes that god speed were where we
2:04 am
were in this morning covering the explosion. also, we had thousands of people also went to sleep to celebrate in hon unit, which is the house where the house of senior general for monday of the gates, for thousands of people also hitting his house to celebrate the victory on the seas. by the time i get him and we can still hear the sound of israeli drones in the background though attacks had gone on right throughout the day it into the evening. when did things begin to go quiet? the last attack from got into is that i was 15 minutes ago a week the i'm going over the fence, the short range of rockets towards the southern is
2:05 am
also there was before the 5 minutes report that did was on is there a lea, a talk and got the city, they hit one of the buildings, but still this was also low scale or low level of fire comparing what previous strikes that were cut it out earlier on the previous night. so we can say that the last 15 or 20 minutes was relatively come on. the last dock was from the pallet. my tingle house here is what i'm collude, reporting live from guys up after that sci fi came into effect just 5 minutes ago. many thanks indeed. let's speak then to what are the homie who's an occupied east jerusalem, or what's the mood? well, it's actually very quiet here. we do hear a few pops here and there are probably some palestinians celebrating but look, i'm just in front of the entrance of the ships around the neighborhood and is
2:06 am
absolutely calm. there is no one on the streets. i think people here are probably very happy but the palestinians because of this cease fire, israelis would probably also very be very happy about that. considering the, you know, those who are living in the southern areas who have been under constant threat of rocket fire. i heard stuff they're talking about when, when were the last? iraq is fired from guys at the exact timing was actually at 4011 minutes before deceased by that's when the last red alert went off here. and from what we understand those rocky slab do is do, they could have been as some wounded there, we still have unconfirmed report of that otherwise in the background they hear coming from sort of the area around. ok. but east jerusalem. some gunfire,
2:07 am
probably palestinians shooting a deer to celebrate at as far as the negotiated of the cease fire is concerned. what wrote the palestinian authority have to play and that where we know very little about how what are the terms of this cease fire? what we do know is that egypt played the major role in holding these in direct talks between israel and how much i. 5 think the palestinian authority did gain some think of all of this if you recall for the 4 years of the administration policy. so if he was left in the cold book ever since we're president, trump had actually declared util, actually the jerusalem was the capital of israel. now we've heard from president by them that he actually talk to president mahmoud about so that with sigma, that would be probably that would signal rather that the policy is back into the
2:08 am
fold has again, new channels with washington. not what happens after this, this, these fire was, everybody realizes that it's holding. we don't know, we don't know what, where to terms. we do know that the egypt is going to dispatch in the coming days to delegation to security, delegations, the one to israel, and one to the palestinian territories. they're supposed to have more details about this these fire. but what's interesting is that all we heard, whether it's from israel or guys or cairo, is exactly the same wording, mutual and unconditional cease fire, nothing more than that. i was serious abdul hamid reporting live from occupied east jerusalem. how many? thanks and date us president joe biden, welcome to seize firewalls saying that washington will continue its diplomatic efforts. he also says that he sees a genuine opportunity if a piece we've held intention, high level discussions,
2:09 am
our by our literally egypt, palestinian authority and other middle eastern countries with a name of avoiding disorder, pro long conflict we've seen in previous years when hostile it's broken out i believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy. my administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress and i've committed to working for life and to washington as well as under is that for us, the, by the administration coming into under a great deal of criticism over the last few days for pairing to drag its feet over this crisis. yeah, that's right. the white house was under a lot of pressure, specifically president joe biden. and pressure that many say he brought upon
2:10 am
himself because so many people were saying, even people within his own party were saying that he was very slow to react to this over the past 11 days. and it was pretty clear that the white house started to realize early this week as the images of the suffering of the people and god. so we're, we're being played over the television here in the united states, over and over again. and getting pressure from people within his own party that he needed to continue to pressure in turn, prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he wanted to de escalate the situation because he knew that the sustained conflict was untenable. and what you heard, basically from biden was a couple things here, said that he spoke to benjamin netanyahu. this had been the 6th time since the conflict began, and he did not give any details about what the fire will look like. other than to say it was going to be mutual and unconditional as we heard. but he also showed
2:11 am
support for israel bite and did by saying that the u. s. will replenish in biden's words the iron dome defense system that israel has that is provided by the united states. and he also said again, which we've heard from administration officials all week that israel has the right to defend itself. what we did not hear from president biden and his address was any sort of acknowledgment that the palestinians have a right to defend themselves, or any acknowledgement from the, by the ministration or from joe biden, in his address there, on the disproportionate number of palestinians that were killed over the last 11 days by and did say that he will. the us will work with the palestinian authority in the future, and the us will work through the united nations to ensure humanitarian assistance to the people garza and given that the joe biden admitted, as you said, talk about palestinians in his remarks. those critical voices and the left of his
2:12 am
party, the bigger grew louder, aren't they? is there any side of that? perhaps being a shift in attitude by the, by the administration towards israel. not really quite frankly, because you really didn't hear it from joe biden. here in this address that he gave, if you will, he is under a lot of criticism from senator bernie sanders from representative alexandria castillo, cortez, among others here within his own party, the progressive wing of his party. that said he had just not acted fast enough on this will his address here that he gave this evening change things. probably not specifically because he did not specifically address the disproportionate number of palestinians that have been killed or displaced because of the actions of israel. if anything he by name defendant israel again. so
2:13 am
what you're hearing here is basically the bite administration and job by himself did not want to deal with the israel palestinian issue in their 1st year, the presidency. he wanted to focus on domestic issues, the economy, and the coven, 19 vaccine roll out. and on the, on the international one, he wanted to focus on china, russia, and to a lesser degree, iran, other than that, he did not want to deal with this. but it was thrust upon him, and now the big question will be, how much is joe biden wants to take this opportunity if you will this cease fire to inject the us into the peace process and lead a priest process or? well, joe biden is administration sort of back off now and let the egyptians a car is the jordanians take the lead in some sort of future peace process. it's all left to be seen here, but we'll get a better sense of that. probably in the coming days, weeks, and maybe even months. many thanks,
2:14 am
officer is gabriel ellis under reporting that from washington. let's see. and out from iran con his in west jerusalem on the past day of fighting this is generally a refugee camp in gaza when israel occupied their homes in 1948 palestinians came here and sought shelter. and they've been here ever since. right now, the camp houses around 90000 people most were born here and they've never seen that harris old homes. now this new generation is also lost. there's around 2 am on thursday, the radio was one of the residents of the camp and a phone call that an attack was coming. not just one house, but the whole street, a 3 m. the bombard and struck. the destruction is self evident. use of our day has been married for a year. he took out bank loans to furnish his house. the furniture has been destroyed, but he says the loans are still there. but i mean to begin with. we were sleeping inside the house when we heard shouting, get out,
2:15 am
get out the whole levy is going to be bombed. we went to the school for sale too, but they were full. so we sat in the street just waiting the united nations that runs the camp is still assessing the damage if they have enrolled. they also risk hitting civilian infrastructure and my colleagues tell me that water pipes have been damaged in western slum diplomacy continues apace. as the check slovak and german forum, and if there's arrived for a visit, these ready foreign ministry is calling this visit one of solidarity. he was all smiles at the podium as a german and israeli foreign minister spoke to one question. we have always emphasized the israel has the right to self defense, and israel is now making use of this roy includes preventing the facilities from which attacks when he's ready targets originate from continuing to operate. according to the israeli army, 90 percent of those rockets are destroyed by the iron dove rocket defense system before they land. palestinians. cautiously optimistic about the gyptian broker see
2:16 am
fire. after 11 days of intense bombardment, they hope that things may just return to normal. but normal is a relative term for gaza. it remains under israeli lead feet and its problems with food fuel medicine shortages are now even more serious iran car out there. what's teresa ought to bring it now, him and basha, whose mother, who lives in garza, she joins us now live via skype from the event. thanks so much for being with us in the past couple of miles you tweeted, have you ever been extremely happy and sad? in the same time, what did you mean by that? that's, i want to thank you for having me, and i'm a little bit levy and my committee many mistakes on spelling. but please your, me as a human, not as a feature. and i did that. i am sad,

2:20 am
experience. oh, oh really? i don't know, actually it's not very clear that they knew the truth because i think is very clear in the future regarding your creation. but i hope i hope that we live and be everything that i really aiming for. hey man, it's been really good to talk to you. i know it's the middle of the night. we really appreciate you staying up and talking to us in busha there live from gaza. will garza's already weekend restructure has been shattered by 11 days upon bob. and by israel, around 450 buildings have been either destroyed or damaged. according to a you an estimate that includes $16800.00 housing units. maybe 2000 of them have been flattened. 18 hospitals and clinics were head. among them was garza only
2:21 am
covered 19 lab, which is now unable to process tests. 66 schools have been damaged. that includes 2 kindergartens and a you and vocation training facility. damage to attic tricity lines and networks means the average power supply has been reduced to 3 or 4 hours. and 3 water treatment plans have also been effected. suspending service to around $400000.00 people. well, before the sci fi was announced, the un general assembly held a special meeting to discuss the crisis, while the 90 countries signed up to speak. kristen salumi reports now from the united nations 11 days into the violence and just hours before reports of a cease fire emerge. the united nations general assembly gathered to address the fighting between israel and gaza. meeting was led by the un secretary general. fighting is left thousands of palestinians, homeless and forcible with $50000.00 people, believe their arms and seek shelter. the wound was schools, mosques,
2:22 am
and other places with little excess to water, food i gene or l services. i was already fired by report that 9 members of one family were killed in all shot the refugee camp. if that he's a hell or nurse. it is the lives of children in gaza today. speaker after speaker condemned what they called, the disproportionate israeli strike that killed more than $200.00 palestinians and left 1000 displays in the face of such international criticism ways relevant, bassett, or to the un was combative. every speaker here today that failed to unequivocally condemn come us, that fail to distinguish between come months of war, crime and israel. self defense the choosing to demonize these rather than supporting its heroic efforts to dismantle. how much is terry infrastructure is only strengthening extreme. it for says, palestine foreign minister took on israel self defense argument. why not?
2:23 am
i look them. i would like to ask you, what would you do if your territory was 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 a whole people under occupation is the price of that very same right? document in a speech turkeys. foreign minister also took aim at the muted public response of israel staunch allied the united states. and just be the same, we will not remain silent in the face of unspeakable atrocities and brutality. because we know that silence in the face of injustice equals to being an accomplice to the crimes committed. he who remained silent in the face of injustice is a new devil. comments that drew rebuke from the us ambassador to the united nations . we have not been silent. in fact, i don't believe that there's any country working more urgently,
2:24 am
and more fervently toward peace. this is not a slight and it is not silence. it's a fact. palestine foreign minister later welcome news of the seas fire, but warned of the ongoing underlying issue of israel's continuing occupation of palestinian land an issue. he encouraged world leaders to work harder to resolve. kristen, so we may al jazeera, the united nations. rochester. ronnie is founder of the palestinian center for human rights. he joins us now live from the gaza. good to have with us, and now we have a cease 5. what needs to happen in order to ensure that people in gaza get the assistance if they so urgently need justice. that's what we need. stop israeli criminal offense who stop the war crime. the crimes against humanity is took targeting to read and them being in the dust. all this is a big chain. what has happened the last 2 days?
2:25 am
and i think everybody should realize this got to school shouldn't be a version. i mean, it's over and hands are type in poor degree or freedom garden type. i've been in for this payment has been granted to patient. they cannot carry any more. this new brand of apartheid. they cannot allow what they wanted to do and she's got her off or girls that if you're not, you know, it's up to 73 years or not. if you're not for years, the patient poor go the poor consecutive warrant. and though the storm west region, the medium target and get to 14 years of criminal, illegal in human, it's about time. anybody wants to ensure
2:26 am
big he done with your patients? there? i prefer the technician, the new you get a sense that at last the world is waking up to the palestinian cause. when we have to city to fear the problem, once you, which in giving for legal political immunity or the criminal history for a patient or is or in those we though in unity that's why is there i thought what a crime missing against cmt. i didn't want to mention the exam too many and it's too much and we paid quite a lot already. 7 children,
2:27 am
woman cvn was nothing to do with this confrontation with this floor. and they were deliberate, intentional, target supplies. and the most, i think this is a big chain. so us providing when we get immunity, security 1000, which is a place for peace and security on air. but it wasn't able to take it as the notion . but even she did the statement providing immunity at the i c. c. international course for those who committed what i'm going to be trying to get a few minutes to fusion. and i see which is a lot of invention, spectrum director in a few minutes experience. this is the right suspected of doing what a crime and crimes against humanity our submission and our education against
2:28 am
that. but you put poorly immunity and pressure to that extent that you've been to prison from give and to keep in order to immune is or not to be thrive so. so these 2 obstacles should be carried or what, but i need this dignity treat and defeat your patients and right to their mission. so when you hit it that the us ambassador of you, and as we did a moment ago talking to the un general assembly, when she said that the u. s. is urgently and suddenly working towards peace, you think that's disingenuous. we do hope so. we pray. so that we one just piece based in thing that you patients ending up are tied up why the end of the right people get on
2:29 am
t over right to nation and we cannot ship and we will not accept to be good victim for your patience. we will not fix it to be the wrong lady where international louis missouri lives for masters, business of life for to say we are not saved. one person case where the 3 people we are people with big we have just right. suppose we are on the right side of history, and we have no intention to give up to we could talk to so many thanks and aid projects already the founder of the palestinian for human rights. but let's take a look at some more of the international reaction to the c's. father, you case, foreign secretary, dominic rob said that all sides must work to make the sci fi durable and to end the
2:30 am
cycle of violence focused on foreign ministry called for the mobilization of humanitarian aid, to gaza. and call for a revival of concrete efforts to end israel's occupation of palestinian territories . one ro, body is co editor of jer, jer dahlia, an online magazine dedicated to covering the contemporary middle east. the joint just now live from the hey, good idea with this is ready. media had a recent day suggested that the military belief that its goals have been met. but i spokesperson told the associated press the cease fire was a defeat for netanyahu. and a victory for the palestinian people. what are your thoughts on the see why i wouldn't go so far as to say that the palestinians have achieved the victory. but i think even more so this has been a complete debacle for the israelis they haven't identified which, which goals they've achieved. they failed to eliminate any of the leaderships.
