issue over the illegitimate displacement of people must be dealt with and the international community must never allow that. the violations that alex a mosque must also stop to provide a canada james space has well, i think it's interesting vert, already before he's even got here and he'll be leaving in a matter of hours, you have got most of the people with the exception of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who is going to be meeting having their own meetings ahead of it. they gyptian foreign minister going to amman, jordan, and then in the last couple of hours, going to ramallah to see president bass. and it seems that they are all trying to compare notes ahead of the us secretary state arriving to see what they can get from this. there was a call a short time ago from the us, from a senior administration official, a senior state department official. and that persistent question was about what
7:10 pm
exactly the secretary state was trying to achieve. we know that he wants humanitarian aid into garza. we know they want to try and find a mechanism to rebuild. garza very concerned. certainly the u. s. as is the israelis about any reconstruction material that goes into garza being used to rebuild tunnels. but the big question is whether they're going to go beyond that and rebuild some sort of piece process where they're going to actively restart negotiations between the israelis and palestinians. negotiations that haven't been taking place for a very long time. the senior official repeatedly batted away. those questions said the focus is on the seas for sticking and keeping. making sure the c spa stakes home in raw, there's been a stabbing attack and occupied east jerusalem. these really forces say the attacker has been killed, one soldier has died and another one is injured. and run con has more now from that

7:12 pm

7:17 pm
is going to all these other people in the country that a furious that they want to fighting back in any different way. in many respects, this is a much messy, a more complicated resistance to military rule than i think the capital, the both of the st and several and for many older people, supporters of the been through this before the party was made illegal and was subject great repression during the 900, not to them many members incarcerated and tortured and even an even keel. so for a lot of older support, this is a very good a date for this before. but for all the 1st time voters and others, the youngest supporters of the day, they're going to say that's what it is, which is a nice paragraph on the part of the motor discredit on sensitivity and the body. and i don't think people will now moving on and a suspect accused of war crimes ensued on stuff for conflict has appeared before the international criminal court ali, i'm know rahman is charged with that he won counts of crimes against humanity
